Chapter 45: The Fall of Rome VII
Although Li Liguo asked all the Roman towns to be surrendered to the Kingdom of Sparta along the way, he did not send troops to occupy those Roman towns, he just transported a large amount of grain and grass all the way to the city of Rome, and used sufficient supplies to station outside the city of Rome, intending to fight to the death without breaking the city!
Li Liguo asked General Ares to take half of the Spartan army to bypass the city of Rome and drive towards the hinterland of the Western Roman Empire!
Along the way, the Western Roman Empire, which concentrated its resources on defending the city of Rome, simply could not resist the Spartan army, even if they divided their forces!
The main thing is that the archer unit in this sweeping army, the cooperation of trebuchets and archers, so that the Roman army can not resist at all, and does not engage in frontal combat, and plays woodland melee with Spartan soldiers who are mostly barbarians?
The Romans still couldn't beat it......
These Spartan soldiers are now all veterans who have killed an unknown number of people, and they are quite fierce in fighting!
This time, the Ares warlord did not play any slaughter of all the men, but escorted back waves of captives and handed them over to Li Liguo, each wave had tens of thousands of people, and then Li Liguo used these captives as consumables to fill the river......
There was even a small group of soldiers in the defenders of Rome who had a nervous breakdown, and they slaughtered their own people every day, not a single Spartan soldier!
Finally, with the perfect cooperation of General Ares and Li Liguo, I don't know how many Romans died, and the moat of the city of Rome was filled!
Of course, the expendable weapons such as arrows in Rome were almost exhausted......
Just when the Roman defenders thought that the Spartan soldiers were going to fight in person this time, the shameless Li Liguo drove the Roman prisoners to use them as human shields, and carried sandbags step by step to fill the city under the tall Roman city!
Li Liguo's method is stupid, but it is very effective!
The casualties of the city reclamation are many times greater than the river reclamation!
The Roman defenders had more ways of killing and injuring people under the city, and even throwing a single stone could kill several people in the dense crowd......
It's just that it was the Romans who were stoned to death......
Those Roman upper-class figures can be regarded as seeing through, the kingdom of Sparta on the other side did not want to occupy and rule the Western Roman Empire at all, he wanted the Romans to become extinct!
The upper echelons of Rome realized that they could not continue like this, and that the population of the Italian peninsula was definitely enough for Li Liguo to fill all the way to the city walls, and then the Spartan soldiers could step on a slope of sand and corpses and rush up to fight the Roman defenders directly......
At that time, the Roman defenders, whose superiority in the walls had been infinitely weakened, would be able to hold back the Spartan army, which outnumbered them in numbers and morale?
As long as you are not an idiot, you know in your heart what the answer is......
Rather than let the blood of the Romans drain and lose the city of Rome, it is better to surrender to the kingdom of Sparta......
This time, it was not a small number of high-ranking Roman personnel who thought so, but formed a mainstream consciousness!
Except for the Western Roman Emperor, who could not surrender, and the Pope, who knew that Li Liguo would never accept Christianity!
Immediately, the two most determined leaders of the main battle faction got two completely different fates, the Western Roman Emperor died violently after a meal, and His Majesty the Pope secretly left the city of Rome with most of the clergy!
'Smuggled' to the Eastern Roman Empire!
Li Liguo, who surrounded the city of Rome, naturally couldn't have failed to find the Christian pope who had escaped from the city, but Li Liguo didn't stop him, so he just turned a blind eye and let him go!
Christianity was much more influential than the Western Roman Empire!
If the Christian elite were slaughtered, the kingdom of Sparta would never be better!
All crazy believers will become Li Liguo's constant enemies, in the face of religion, in this era of Europe, it is impossible to destroy a powerful religion by slaughter, and when the time comes, the kingdom of Sparta will go to the opposite side of everyone, this is not a simple matter!
The more the people are dull, the more the influence of religion is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people!
The pope's escape Li Liguo couldn't help but feel a sense of relief, those people may regard Li Liguo as a crazy tyrant who doesn't care, and they are afraid that he will kill him after breaking the city, so they will also eliminate the Christian pope who opposes him by the way......
They could never have imagined how cautious Li Liguo, who had the experience of later generations, was about the power of religion!
That's fine, after the city is broken, I won't have any obstacles!
Li Liguo thought with relief. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
After besieging the city of Rome for more than a month, the Western Roman Empire did not wait for Li Liguo to spread the corpse on the city of Rome, and the city of Rome officially opened to welcome the entry of the Spartan army shortly after the violent death of the emperor of the Western Roman Empire.
"Congratulations to Li Liguo the Conqueror for completing the gold-level historical fluctuation task, the Western Roman Empire was breached in advance of the capital of Rome, there is still 1 year and 3 months left in the mission period, after the mission period is reached, the conqueror Li Liguo can leave the world, and then a huge portal will be opened for a day, and Li Liguo the Conqueror can drive his people and army to enter the portal independently!
All civilians and troops who enter the portal will return to the vicinity of the Cavalry City of the Civilization Trial Ground with Li Liguo the Conqueror, and other rewards will be settled according to the amount of achievements achieved by Li Liguo the Conqueror after the mission period is over!
Friendly reminder: During the mission period, the more cities that Li Liguo the Conqueror has conquered and occupied, the higher the reward evaluation, the more armies destroyed, and the richer the number of troops rewarded!
Warning: The population driven by Li Liguo the Conqueror, whether it is civilians or soldiers, will retain their original attitude towards Li Liguo, the king of Sparta, if too many civilians or troops hostile to the Kingdom of Sparta are driven into the Proving Ground of Civilization, the probability of an uprising will be greatly increased as the number of opponents increases!
The uprising is likely to break out when the army of Li Liguo the Conqueror goes into battle! ”
The last warning completely disrupted Li Liguo's next plan!
The warning of the Civilization Proving Ground is absolutely true, it seems that he thinks of Lazhuang Ding a little simply, you know, he will have to face the attack of the coalition forces in the Great Plains of Florida when he goes back!
Your own rear must not be messed up!
Li Liguo looked at the Roman civilians in Rome City who had a faint sense of hostility in their numb faces, and he was full of gloomy looks!
Li Liguo thought quietly, what kind of excuse and reason should he find?
Well, these Romans would have saved much trouble if they had resisted to the end...... (To be continued.) )
