Cao Cao glanced at everyone and said, "Zilong and Meng Qi have led their troops to retreat to Qinxifeng, and Yan Yan has also led the Eighth Army to retreat, but the Sixth Army led by Zhang Ren has completely fallen into the siege of the Roman army!" ”
Everyone couldn't help but look worried. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Your Majesty, don't we care?" Xiahoudun asked a little unwillingly.
Cao Cao shook his head and said helplessly: "We can't take care of them at all now!" Then he stared at the tiger and said proudly: "It is not so easy for the Romans to capture Dura Europos!" The Sixth Legion will let them know what the real Wei soldiers are! ”
The gaze turns to Dura Europos.
The Roman army frantically slammed down on the walls, a dull crash at the gates, and a rain of bullets obscuring the sun.
The soldiers of the Sixth Army of the Wei Army fought desperately and bloodily in a desperate situation.
A Wei soldier faced the surging tide alone, just cut down an enemy soldier, almost at the same time, three spears pierced his chest from the front at the same time, just when the other party thought he was going to scream and fall, he actually rose up to the last strength to hold the three spears pierced into the body, with all his strength to make a shout, the long knife in his hand slashed out, the three Roman soldiers couldn't help but change their faces, the Roman soldier closest to him screamed and fell down, the Wei soldier used all his strength and fell down, Lying on top of a mountain of corpses and blood, more than a thousand of their comrades had been killed, and around them were the corpses of thousands of Roman soldiers.
The Roman army trampled on a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood overflowed the walls and rushed towards the city.
Most of the remaining Wei troops retreated from the city walls and fought with the Roman army in the streets and alleys, while sporadic battles continued on the city walls, and the lonely figures faced the seemingly endless torrent of enemy troops with their backs against the corpses in their eyes.
A seriously wounded Wei soldier fell, the Romans thought he was dead and continued to move past his body, covered in blood, he turned his neck with difficulty, and saw a fire oil drum not far away, on which lay the body of a Wei soldier, and he still held a torch tightly in his hand.
With great difficulty, he crawled over, removed the torch, and with the last of his strength ignited the oil barrel, and then with a loud bang, a huge ball of fire rose up from the city walls, and dozens of Roman soldiers were thrown into the sky.
The remnants of the Sixth Army desperately resisted the enemy army dozens of times their size, and gradually converged towards the city office.
After a bloody battle for more than an hour, the remnants of the Sixth Army retreated into the office, and everyone was covered in blood.
The Romans then surrounded the Governor's Office, but they did not attack immediately.
Zhang Ren glanced at the bloodstained but still determined soldiers in front of him, and nodded with satisfaction, "The war has reached this point, we have no hope, we have done our best!" If any of you want to give up, I will not stop him, and I am sure no one will blame him! ”
The generals exchanged a look, bowed down together, and said, "We are willing to live and die with the general!" Never surrender! ”
A burly general said in a bold voice: "My son and parents are taken care of by His Majesty, and I have nothing to worry about!" ”
Zhang Ren glanced at the soldiers, and a tragic pride surged into his heart, "Okay!" is worthy of being a good man of the Great Wei Empire, today we will fight to the end! ”
Roar!! All the soldiers roared in unison.
The Roman soldiers surrounding the garrison couldn't help but look at each other, they couldn't understand why the morale was so high in such a situation.
A group of Roman soldiers carried a seriously wounded and unconscious Wei soldier forward, and ran into the general Seth and his party. Seth glanced at the Wei soldiers on the stretcher, "Wait! The Roman sergeant immediately stopped.
Seth jumped off his horse, and the generals and soldiers who followed him also jumped down.
Seth walked up to the stretcher and asked the soldier who was carrying it, "Did he surrender or was he picked up by you?" ”
The soldier replied: "We found him alive in the pile of corpses, so we carried him down!" ”
Seth couldn't help but sigh regretfully and muttered, "It's not captured again!" ”
A subordinate general asked softly, "Your Excellency, what did you say?" ”
Seth shook his head.
At this time, one of the soldiers suddenly exclaimed: "He's awake!" ”
Seth hurriedly looked at the Wei soldiers on the stretcher.
The Wei soldiers glanced around blankly, and couldn't help but be startled when they saw Seth and a group of Roman soldiers close at hand, and then a look of absolute surprise appeared in their eyes, and they pulled out the short knife at their waist without hesitation.
The Roman soldiers present couldn't help but be startled, and some shouted: "Protect the general!" ”
However, the next scene was beyond their expectations, only to see the Wei soldier stabbed the short knife into his chest.
Everyone was stunned.
The Wei soldiers spurted blood from their mouths and showed a smile, which was a kind of pride.
After a long time, everyone came back to their senses, and a general went up to probe his snort, and replied: "Your Excellency, General, he is dead!" "He looked very depressed.
Seth frowned, although his face was very calm, but in fact, his heart was turbulent. He didn't understand why the Wei army was unwilling to surrender! A sense of powerlessness rose in his heart, and he felt that it was really difficult to defeat such an enemy.
In fact, it is not surprising that Seth does not understand, after all, the cultures of the East and the West are very different!
A scout rushed up to Seth and reported, "Your Excellency, our 20,000-strong army has surrounded the Zhisuo, and the fighting in other places is over!" ”
Seth came back to his senses, "What? ”
The scout was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said it again.
Seth nodded, "How many remnants of the Wei army are there in the office?" ”
"Less than three thousand! General, the front is waiting for the final attack order of the General! ”
Seth said, "Let's go!" Stepping on the war horse, he couldn't help but glance at the Wei soldier who gave up life and chose death, and couldn't help sighing.
Seth led the soldiers to the gate of the office.
At this time, the entire place of government was surrounded by the Roman army.
The Roman general in charge of the attack saluted Seth.
Seth glanced at Chaozhi and shouted in Chinese, which was not very fluent: "I am the Roman general Seth, I want to know who the Wei generals are inside?" ”
A moment later, Zhang Ren's figure appeared on the roof of the hall, clenched his fists and said, "Zhang Ren, the general of the Great Wei Empire!" ”
Zhang Ren smiled, "Your Excellency may not have heard of me!" I'm not like you, you're famous! ”
This sounded sarcastic to Seth.
Seth raised his voice and said: "General Zhang Ren, almost all the 100,000 soldiers of your Sixth Army have been killed, and you have already fulfilled your mission!" You have not insulted anyone, let alone the Great Wei Empire, by giving up resistance! ”
Zhang Ren smiled: "You are right! So let me ask the other soldiers! ”
Zhang Ren shouted to the below: "Tell me your decision!" ”
"Fight to the end! Fight to the end! "The sound shook Xiaohan, without the slightest hesitation, that is a kind of determination, but also a kind of faith, the soldiers of the Wei army have no bad seeds who bow their heads, only warriors who are stained with blood.
The Roman soldiers couldn't help but turn pale.
Seth couldn't help but sigh, but also felt admiration. "In that case, then I have no choice but to fulfill you!"
Seth waved his hand violently, and the catapult, which had long been ready to go, spewed out tongues of fire, and the entire place of governance was instantly submerged in a cloud of smoke and dust.
After a round of artillery bombardment, tens of thousands of Roman troops launched a fierce attack.
The sound of the tragic battle shook everyone's heart, and the soldiers of the Wei army in a desperate situation were engaged in a hopeless battle, and one soldier after another was killed.
Half an hour later, everything was quiet, the last few thousand soldiers of the Sixth Legion were all killed, and around them were the corpses of more than 6,000 Roman soldiers, their eyes were full of blood, and the corpses were piling up like mountains, and the tragic atmosphere made people seem to be suffocating.
Zhang Ren, who was seriously wounded, leaned lonely on the flagpole, and the broken Wei army battle flag was still fluttering in the wind.
The Roman soldiers surrounded Zhang Ren, and everyone was in awe. Although they were enemies, the Roman soldiers could not help but feel awe.
The Roman general Seth came out of the crowd and solemnly gave a military salute to Zhang Ren, "General, do you have anything else to say?" ”
Zhang Ren took the obstacle knife to support his body and stood up with difficulty.
The Romans couldn't help but get nervous.
Zhang Ren hugged his fist towards Saith, "I only have one thing to ask for!" ”
Seth hurriedly said, "You say! ”
Zhang Ren glanced around at the soldiers who were lying quietly in a pool of blood, "I hope you buried them all!" ”
Seth nodded with a look of disappointment in his eyes, "I promise you!" ”
"Thank you!" Zhang Ren hugged his fists, and there was a hint of gratitude in his eyes.
Zhang Ren looked at the obstacle knife that had collapsed in his hand, turned around and walked to the east, standing under the battle flag of the Wei army, suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed, and resolutely killed himself with the barrier knife, and a drop of blood splashed on Seth's cheek.
The scene was silent for a long time, until Zhang Ren's body collapsed with a bang.
Seth touched the drops of blood on his cheek, sighed, and said in a deep voice: "Good life to collect the bodies of the Wei army soldiers!" ”
"Yes!"
Seth and all the generals returned to the big tent and didn't speak, and after a long time, Seth took a deep breath, glanced at the generals, and Yang Sheng shouted: "Cheer me up!" ”
The generals came back to their senses and quickly straightened their chests.
Seth asked, "Did you catch any Wei prisoners?" ”
General Carters replied, "No! ”
Seth frowned, "Not a single one?" ”
Carters shook his head, a look of frustration on his face.
"The 100,000 soldiers of the Sixth Legion of the Wei Army have all chosen only one path!"

Zhang Liao came to the door of the big tent and saw Cao Cao with a sad look on his face in the big tent, and couldn't help but ask Dian Wei at the door: "Evil, what's wrong with Your Majesty?" ”
Dian Wei suppressed his excitement and said in a deep voice: "The Sixth Legion is completely annihilated!" (To be continued.) )
