Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

But the Roman rescue forces quickly tasted the pain of the curved wall they built because they could not speed up.

Seeing this situation, the Dionyan soldiers in the city urged the comrades under the city to speed up to the city.

The leader of the Sixth Army’s light armor brigade, Kelkus, came from Siriting, not a later immigrant, but a native of Siriting. He was an ordinary citizen of Siriting more than ten years ago and participated in the Battle of the Ramato River After the defeat, he was lucky not to escape to Siriting, but fled to Crotone, luckily survived the Civil War, then became a citizen of Dionysian, and became the most trained in the 6th Army Corps barracks. One of the hard-working soldiers, and made many achievements in the war to conquer the Apulia region.

After being promoted to captain of the brigade, he wrote to the Military Department several times and asked to be transferred to the Eighth Army. The Military Department never agreed, that is, this general, who had a deep hatred of the Syracuses, was taken to Sicily. Will conflict with the Syracuse people.

This time, as the commander of the raid, he did not worry about seeing the Romans coming from both sides. He immediately ordered: the soldiers in the city sent two teams to form a dense formation to block the aisles at both ends of the wall.

The walkway in the city of Rome was not wide, so that Sipaia could successfully block the Dionysian soldiers who passed the siege tower and reached the head of the city. Now, Kerkus also uses this method to protect the successors. It's really a pay-as-you-go for going to the city for time.

Even if more than a thousand people from the Light Armor Brigade and the Mountain Reconnaissance Brigade came up, Kelkus was not prepared to attack the city wall, because the walkway was narrow and long, and it would take longer to break through the enemy. He had better Choice, because in front of him there is a stone staircase that descends into the city.

It is precisely because the southeast corner is remote, so Roman talents built a ramp up here to facilitate the soldiers to quickly reach, but did not expect it to become a fatal weakness used by the enemy.

Margus and Barbus soon realized this problem, but the First Army and Sixth Army offensives were more urgent during this time, apparently to cooperate with this unit's sneak attack, so they had no troops to send.

Balbus had no choice but to immediately send someone to Seebía.

At this time, the Roman soldiers who had been fighting for a long time and were exhausted long ago were inspired by the belief of "defending their homes" and walked along the city wall walkway, and they stormed toward the southeast corner.

But the Dionysian soldiers, which were arranged in a dense formation and had been intensively rehabilitating before, blocked their way forward like two boulders.

The other Dionysian soldiers went to the city very fast, not only because of the 30 rope hooks, but also because the soldiers brought more ropes. After going to the city, they untied them from the body, knotted them into long ropes, and tied them to the battlements Going up or down by hand, down to the city, there were nearly a hundred soldiers climbing to the head of the city at once, and soon the dense Dionysian soldiers crowded the southeast corner of the city.

At the order of Kelkus, a team of 1,000 light armoured and reconnaissance soldiers quickly stepped down the stone ladder and finally entered the city of Rome.

There are three offensive routes in front of them: the first is along the northeastern city wall, next to the Quillino Mountain, and has been going north, either to support the First Army, or to hit the center of Rome-the Senate, but The road is long and narrow, and it is easy to be blocked; the second road is to go northwest, cross the road between Quirino and Vimina, and reach the center of Rome, but the road is also narrow and easy Intercepted, and without knowing the inside of the city, it is taboo to go alone; the third way is Kerkus’s choice, and along the southern wall, march westward quickly, first assisting the Sixth Army to defeat the face of the defense military.

In fact, not far from the stone staircase is the gate of Quirino, a gate of the Roman city, but the whole gate hole is filled with stones and mud.The walls of Rome are meandering, and there are many gates (at least ten). There are not enough soldiers to defend. Therefore, the Roman Senate made a decision yesterday to mobilize the public to block all the gate holes to avoid becoming enemy. Breakthrough.

It takes a lot of time to clean it up and open the city gates, but now time is the most precious for the Dionysian army entering the city, so Kerkus did not stay and led the troops to quickly Go west.

The light armoured soldiers and reconnaissance soldiers, who have always been auxiliary in the war, have rarely taken the lead in this important battle. Everyone is very excited, full of strength, and passed the Vimina gate soon. I saw the old man, women and children delivering materials to the defenders in the city. The Dionysian soldiers entered the flock like tigers and easily knocked them down with their leather shields. The remaining people fled in panic, throwing arrows, javelins and oil The jar was thrown to the ground.

Seeing this scene, the defenders in the city also shouted in horror: "The enemy! The enemy is coming into the city!!!"

There was a lot of commotion immediately at the head of the city, and the panicked soldiers could not fight with peace of mind. A few soldiers even dissuaded the team officers from leaving their defense positions and wanted to run down the city.

At this time, someone shouted: "The reinforcements are coming! The reinforcements are coming!!!..."

Daxipiah urgently sent 300 heavy infantry, which he had already owned.

But this strength was not enough to cause danger to the Dionysian army entering the city. Kerkus made a decisive decision: let the three companies quickly greet them and attack the enemy’s reinforcements; the other two companies from the sides of the Vimina Gate The stone ladder went up and attacked the defenders in the city.

……………………………………

"...The enemy has attacked the city! The enemy has attacked the city!!..." The people responsible for transporting the supplies ran back to the square in panic, shouting with exhaustion, causing confusion on the square.

The elders in the square also changed their complexions.

"Go and detain them all, don't let them shout and create chaos!" Maru Guinness made an order immediately to the captain of the guard responsible for maintaining the square order.

Portitus, who has always sang against Taiwanese dramas, has not stopped him. He is in favor of using hard means at this time of crisis.

"Does the enemy really... attack in?!" Ambustus asked everyone's common concerns with a trembling voice.

"...A person came over and asked in detail." Portitus seemed calm, but with a cane in his hand, he swayed slightly.

At this time, the messenger sent by Da Xipiah arrived at the square, and the cruel facts spit out in his mouth made the veterans panic.

"Did not Sipaia have sent reinforcements?! These brave citizens...we can kill all the enemies who rushed into the city!" Plenius shouted loudly, he wanted to disperse himself and his colleagues Fear in my heart, but the tone is so unconfident.

"If Da Xi Pia is sure to repel the enemy, he will not send a messenger to tell us..." Maru Gineensis sighed. He and Da Si Pia come from the same clan, and he has been working hard to support this. People with excellent abilities naturally know more about them: "And we have no more soldiers..."

In fact, the veterans had been receiving reports from the defenders in the city. They knew that the situation was very serious. The words of Maru Guinness only shredded the last surviving luck in their hearts. Let them fall into a terrible silence.

"Go to Capitoline!" Portitus no longer panicked, and said firmly: "Everyone can rest assured that, just like when the Celtics invaded, the Dionysians may be able to occupy the city of Rome, But it is impossible to capture our holy land! Compared with the last time, this time the situation is more favorable, Camillus is about to return to the army, and this time the army is far more than a dozen years ago, and more training Good! The Dionysians will be driven out faster, and the victory will eventually belong to Rome!..."

Portitus's stable words made the veterans less flustered.

…………………………………

The Roman people in the square were instructed by the elders and hurried back to their homes in panic. They hurriedly packed their furniture, brought food, and prepared for an emergency escape to take shelter on Mount Capitolin.

When the people living near the embankment hurried back to the block, they saw a horrified scene: the stone slabs used to cover the sewers on the street were lifted up, revealing black and smelly sewers, and on the street, hundreds of people were wearing black leather A soldier with a black shield and short sword is lined up with their backs facing the Tiber...

"It's the enemy!!! They killed in!!" The Roman people screamed in horror, and even women fainted because they were too scared.

Lizzaru heard the noise behind him. He didn’t even care about these elderly women and children. He didn’t even look back. Instead, he pointed the dagger in his hand and shouted with excitement: “Mountain Brigade Warriors, it's time to make great achievements, follow me to kill them!"

After he finished, he rushed towards the head of the Roman vertebral bridge, followed by soldiers.

The shouting of Hades shocked the Roman soldiers who were in a fierce battle. The fierce attack of the first brigade of the Dionysian Third Army had made it difficult for them to cope. Seeing many behind them also wearing black helmets and armor The soldiers were aggressively killing themselves, and the fighting spirit in the hearts of the Roman reinforcements, mainly composed of slaves, immediately fell to the bottom of the valley. They completely ignored Cassius's order to turn them around to resist, and immediately fled.

Their escape also shaken the fighting spirit of the Roman soldiers who have been struggling to this day.

At the bridgehead, the Dionysian soldiers who had been very tired because they had been attacking heard the cry of Hades from the opposite side, and all of them were energized. The momentum has become the last straw that crushed the camel.
