Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

Chapter 799: Attacking the City of Rome (End)

Rome’s line of defense on the embankment collapsed, and Cassius was impossible even if he wanted to fight desperately. He was wrapped around the soldiers and ran into the city, but as a defending general, his costume was too conspicuous, and he was soon The oncoming soldiers of the Mountain Brigade stopped.

Terentus roared, and the short sword in his right hand easily pierced the chest of Cassis, who had no fighting spirit.

When he fell, Cassius always believed that the city of Rome had fallen, that these enemies had arrived from other cities, and he insisted on staying to the end.

He never imagined that these enemies had been hiding underground not far from them...

The soldiers of the 3rd legion rushing across the bridge head and the embankment soon joined the mountain reconnaissance team, chasing the fleeing soldiers and rushing into the Roman city...

…………………………………

In the eastern part of the southern wall, while the mixed forces of Kerkus intercepted the reinforcements of the Great Sipiah, another part of the soldiers passed the stone ladder and killed the city wall. The soldiers of the Sixth Legion also took the opportunity to enter the city.

At this time, 500 successors who climbed the southeast corner of the city wall through the rope hook arrived, bypassed the frontal fighting, and attacked the flanks of the Great Sipiah reinforcements.

The Roman reinforcements quickly collapsed, and this defeat completely defeated the fighting spirit of the defenders at the head of the city, and they began to run away.

Since the east side of the city had been intercepted by the Kerkus forces, they could only flee westward, which naturally affected the defenders of the Great Sipiah, they were already struggling to support, because Dionysian After receiving reinforcements from the troops of Tolmed and Epitanes, the Second Corps offensive was even more aggressive, so they also gave up resistance and prepared to escape.

However, the Dionysian soldiers who had passed through the siege tower to the head of the city but were blocked by them in the aisle became the roadblocks for their westward escape, and the stone ladder in the lower city was being blocked by the enemy under the city. The soldiers jumped from the city more than ten meters high...

Seeing that the situation was not good, Da Sipiah chose the retreat early, and now, surrounded by guards, fled to the Roman Forum.

……………………………………

In the southwest corner of the city wall, another section of the city wall was collapsed. The soldiers of the Fifth Legion lined up neatly and passed through the gap in an orderly manner.

The Roman soldiers responsible for the interception under the city felt the pressure doubled. Just as their spear gun array was constantly retreated by the attack of the Dionysian soldiers, there was urgent news: the southern wall of the defense line had been completely broken!

Seeing that the battle situation was irretrievable, Mucia reluctantly issued an order to retreat. As the battle continued, the enemy who burst into the east from the east attacked the west, and it was easy to completely surround his troops in the southwest corner.

……………………………………

In the case where the west, south, and north sides of the Roman city were broken, only the defenders in the northeast were still standing, because behind them was the Roman Holy Land-Mount Capitolin.

At the moment, Amintas was very anxious. When Scouting reported to him: More than 1,000 Roman reinforcements were approaching from the east to the camp, he even responded angrily: "When the enemy breaks through the camp, come and report to me!"

For a time, the entourage around him was silent.

Only Printolins said: "Legion Commander, look, our soldiers have attacked the city!"

"It's not that I haven't attacked before, or that I will be driven down!" Amintas said indignantly.

"However, the defenders at the head of the city are already chaotic!" Prentals stared carefully, Shen Sheng said.

The defenders at the head of the city were indeed chaotic, because the Roman vertebral bridge and the embankment were not far from Mount Capitolin. Most of the defeated soldiers on the north ran towards the square next to Mount Capitolin. The soldiers of the Third Army followed the pursuit. , Rushed into the Roman Forum.

At this time, on the Roman Forum, there were wounded soldiers in urgent need of ambulance, people carrying families, and packs carrying food... The entire square was overcrowded, and they all panicked towards the Capitolin Mountain.

The soldiers of the Third Army were like tigers entering the flock of sheep. They were killed in this crowd of people, and the square was immediately disturbed, and the crying shook the sky.

The defenders in the northeast city can see that the enemies with black helmets and black armor cut the access to the Capitoline Mountain not far from the city, and then chase the people like the cattle and sheep, and run away, worrying about the defenders of the family Where else do you want to fight again, have turned around and fled...

…………………………………

Good news came one after another, and there was always cheers in the large camp of the Chinese military camp.

Daveus walked out of the tent quietly, staring at the distant city, stunned: the flag of Dionysia had flown there, and there was a faint cry in the city.

"Your Majesty, we have won this big city, but it seems that you are not too happy." Henipolis came to him and said in a relaxed tone, only he could follow Daves in such a tone speak.

"Of course I'm very happy." Daveus said lightly. This was not a lie. The stone that had been pressed on his chest was crushed. His spirit had an inexplicable relaxation, but he still suppressed this excitement: "But Now is not the time to celebrate the victory, there are 70,000 Roman troops outside the city, who are coming to us."

"All of their homes are occupied, do they still have the mind to fight us?" Hernipolis disagreed.

"Herni, you must go all out at any time during the war, and don't be lucky." Davers said seriously.

"Thank Your Majesty, I wrote down this sentence." Henripolis really picked up the board and began to record.

Davies smiled helplessly and turned to ask Asinarus beside him: "Have both Epitanis and Tolmed already led the army?"

"Your Majesty, they have set off for about... ten minutes." As a staff officer, the most important thing is that the data mentioned should be as accurate as possible rather than vague.So Asina Rust ran back to the big account, and hurried back to answer after reading the funnel timer.

After receiving news of the city's destruction, Daphes immediately ordered: Epidnis led 1,500 soldiers and 200 cavalry to the east to assist the intercepted troops and defeat the Roman reinforcements.

Then he ordered: Tolmed to lead 2,000 soldiers, take a boat from the river port to the opposite bank, round the Roman reinforcements from the north, and siege them.

Daveus nodded and asked with concern: "Is the medical battalion already starting to rescue the wounded soldiers under the ambulance city?"

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Daveus looked up at the sky and said, "Inform the camps of the camps, pull out the camps, load the materials, and prepare to enter the city."

"Yes!"

……………………………………………

Two hours later, the sky was close to dusk, and the fighting and crying in the city had subsided.The Dionysian soldiers cleared the stone and dust in the Silio gate hole facing the Roman Forum, and then opened the gate wide, splitting the sides of the road to greet their commander, King Dionia, into the city of Rome.

Amid the majestic trumpet sound, Daveus, led by the guards of the court, led all his entourage on foot into the city of Rome, which of course caused doubts among the soldiers.

"Why doesn't His Majesty Dapheus ride a horse?"

"...How do I know this? Perhaps because the streets here are too narrow for cycling?"

"Don’t guess, the Commander of the Army of Matonis said just now, Your Majesty said, "Because this city was attacked by our bloody battles, it is disrespectful to us to enter the city on horseback!"

"Your Majesty is so good to our soldiers!"

"Quick! Quick! Don't talk!"

Seeing Daveus approaching them on the roadside, the soldiers who spoke were immediately nervous.

Daveus walked in front of one of the team officers and asked gently: "What is your name?"

The team officer had not yet answered, and immediately followed Mattonis, who was next to Daveus: "Your Majesty, he is the captain of the 5th squad of the 4th squad of the 3rd battalion of the 2nd Legion. This time, he was very brave in siege, and he led the soldiers to attack the city first!" Matonis praised, but his eyes glared at him, a look of "waiting for you later".

"You can see that you are a hero!" Daveus praised.

Timothy Peston straightened his chest.

Davos pointed his finger to the right hand with his dagger against his side and asked, "Are you injured?"

"Your Majesty...a little injury...that's all right." Timothy Pais subconsciously moved his right hand back.

Matonis stepped forward immediately and pulled up his right hand, and saw a sword wound from his arm all the way to his forearm. The skin turned outwards, revealing scarlet muscles. Although bleeding had stopped, such a long and greasy wound still let People feel worried.

"Why not go to the medical camp to bandage?!—"

Daphes stopped Matonis from continuing to scold, and then said to Tamosipes with a long heart: "The military law of our kingdom requires bravery in battle, and we must protect ourselves after the battle. Do you know why? Because only in this way can you be healthy. Your body continues to fight and continue to make achievements. You have been rewarded for your combat achievements, but it is best to enjoy this reward yourself after the war. We are now fighting away from our homeland and we need you to take care of your body! Hurry to the medical camp to find a doctor Healing, there are more fierce battles waiting for us, and you need warriors like you to win the kingdom again!"

Speaking of which, Davers turned back to several commanders including Matonis and said: "The soldiers are standing like this, there is no need at all. They have been very tired after today's siege, so let them go back to rest To restore physical strength, make team officers at all levels take responsibility and send all wounded soldiers to the medical camp for treatment! If there are missing or undiscovered ones that cause the soldiers to get sick, the team officers must be punished! "
