lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of the Mediterranean Overlord of Ancient Greece!
Rome’s line of defense on the embankment collapsed. Even if Cassius wanted to fight desperately, it was impossible for him to run into the city under the ruined soldiers, but as a defending general, his attire was too conspicuous, very He was quickly intercepted by the oncoming mountain brigade soldiers.
Terentus roared, and the dagger in his right hand easily pierced the unscrupulous Cassius' chest.
When he fell, Cassius still believed that the city of Rome had fallen, and these enemies came from other cities, and he held on to the end.
He never thought that these enemies would always be hidden underground not far from them...
The soldiers of the Third Legion who rushed across the bridge and rushed up the embankment soon joined the Mountain Reconnaissance Brigade, chasing the fleeing soldiers together, and rushed into the city of Rome...
…………………………………
In the eastern section of the southern city wall, while the mixed forces of Kerkus intercepted the reinforcements of Scipio, another group of soldiers passed through the stone ladder and smashed the city wall. The soldiers of the Sixth Legion who were siege of the city also took the opportunity to go to the top of the city.
At this moment, the 500 successors who climbed up the southeast corner of the city wall through the rope hook arrived, bypassed the frontal fighting, and attacked the flanks of the reinforcements of the Great Scipio.
The Roman reinforcements were quickly defeated. This defeat completely defeated the fighting spirit of the defenders at the head of the city, and they began to flee.
Since the eastern city head has been cut off by Kerkus forces, they can only flee westward in a swarm, which naturally affects the defenders of Scipio. They are already struggling to support it, because Dio After receiving reinforcements from Tolmid and Epithenis, the Second Army of Nia had a stronger offensive, so they also gave up their resistance and prepared to flee.
However, the Dionian soldiers who had passed the siege tower to the top of the city, but were blocked in the aisle by them, became a barrier for them to flee west, and the stone stairs in the lower city were being blocked by the enemy below. The Roman soldiers who panicked and jumped down from the more than ten-meter-high city...
On the contrary, Scipio saw that the situation was not good, so he chose the way of retreat early. At this moment, surrounded by guards, he fled to the Roman Forum.
……………………………………
At the southwest corner of the city wall, another section of the city wall was blasted down, and the soldiers of the Fifth Legion lined up in an orderly formation through the gap.
The Roman soldiers who were in charge of intercepting the city suddenly felt the pressure multiplied. Just as their spear and gun array was retreated by the attack of the Dionian soldiers, an urgent message came: the defense line of the southern city wall has been completely breached. !
Seeing that the battle was irreversible, Murcia reluctantly issued an order to retreat. Because the fighting continued, the enemy who had entered the city from the east attacked to the west, and it was easy to completely enclose his troops in the southwest corner.
……………………………………
When the west, south, and north sides of the Roman city were attacked, only the defenders on the northeast side remained standing, because behind them was the Roman sacred place, Mount Capitoline.
At this moment, Amintas was very anxious. When the scout reported to him that more than 1,000 Roman reinforcements were approaching the camp from the east, he actually replied angrily: "When the enemy breaks through the camp, come back to me. Report!"
For a while, the entourage around him was silent.
Only Plintolins said: "Legion commander, look, our soldiers have attacked the city!"
"It's not that I haven't attacked before, and I will be driven down!" Amintas said angrily.
"But, the defenders at the head of the city are in chaos!" Plintors stared at the front and said in a deep voice.
The defenders at the head of the city are indeed in chaos. This is because the Roman vertebral bridge and the embankment are not far from Mount Capitoline. Most of the soldiers in the north run towards the square next to Mount Capitoline. Soldiers of the Third Legion Following the chase, he rushed into the Roman Forum.
In the Roman Forum at this time, there were wounded soldiers in urgent need of rescue, people with their families and food-carrying teams... The entire square was overcrowded, and they all fled towards Capitoline Mountain in panic.
The soldiers of the Third Legion were like a tiger entering a flock of sheep. They rushed into the crowd, and immediately stirred up chaos in the square, crying loudly.
When the defender of the northeast city head turned his head, he could see that the black helmet and black armored enemy cut off the passage of Capitoline Mountain not far from the city, and then chased the people away like cattle and sheep and fled, worrying about their families. Where did the defenders still have the mind to fight again, one after another turned and fled...
…………………………………
One piece of good news came one after another, and there were always cheers in the big tent of the Chinese army camp.
Daves quietly walked out of the big tent and looked at the city head in the distance, stunned: The flag of Dionia was already flying there, and the cry of the city could be heard vaguely.
"Your Majesty, we have taken this big city, but you don't seem to be too happy." Hernipolis came to him and said in a relaxed tone. Only he could follow Daves spoke.
"Of course I am very happy." Daves said faintly, this is not a lie, the stone that has been pressing on his chest is crushed, his spirit has an inexplicable relaxation, but he still tries his best to suppress this excitement : "But now is not the time to celebrate victory. There are still 70,000 Roman troops outside the city, rushing to us."
"Their homes are occupied, do they still have the mind to fight us?!" Hernipolis was rather disapproving.
"Herney, at any time during the war, you must go all out and don't take a chance." Davers said seriously.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, I wrote down these words." Hernipolis really picked up the wooden board and started to record.
Davers smiled helplessly, and turned to ask Asinarus beside him: "Have Epithenis and Tolmeid led the army?"
"Your Majesty, they have set off for about... ten minutes." As a staff, the most important thing is to make the data as accurate as possible and not vague. So Asinarost ran back to the big tent and rushed back to answer after watching the funnel timer.
After receiving the news of the destruction of the city, Dafus immediately ordered: Epithenis led 1,500 soldiers and 200 cavalry to the east to assist the intercepted troops and defeat the Roman reinforcements.
Then he ordered: Tolmeide led 2,000 soldiers, took a boat from the river port to the opposite bank, went around to the side of the Roman reinforcements from the north, and encircled them.
Davers nodded, and asked with concern: "Has the medical camp started to rescue the wounded under the city?"
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Davers looked up at the sky, and said: "Notify the main camps of the camps, pull out the camps, load the supplies, and prepare to enter the city."
"Yes!"
……………………………………………
Two hours later, the sky was approaching dusk, and the sound of fighting and crying in the city had subsided. The Dionian soldiers cleaned up the stone and dust in the Silio Gate, which was facing the Roman Forum, and then opened the gate wide, dividing the road on both sides, to welcome their commander, King Dionian, to enter the city of Rome.
Amid the majestic bugle sound, Daves, surrounded by court guards, led all his entourages into Rome on foot, which of course aroused the doubts of the soldiers.
"Why doesn't Your Majesty Daves ride a horse?"
"...how do I know this? Maybe it's because the streets here are too narrow for riding?"
"Don’t guess, Captain Matonis just said. Your Majesty said, ‘because we took this city through a **** battle, and riding a horse into the city is disrespectful to us!’"
"Your Majesty is so kind to our soldiers!"
"Quick! Quick! Don't talk!"
Seeing Daves walking towards them on the side of the road, these talking soldiers immediately became nervous.
Davers walked up to one of the team officers and asked gently, "What's your name?"
The team officer hasn’t answered yet. Matonis, who is next to Daves, said immediately: "Your Majesty, he is the captain of the fifth team of the fourth squadron, the third squadron of the Second Corps. His name is Tamosipace, Cass. Tron, he was very brave this time when attacking the city, and he took the lead in leading the soldiers to the top of the city!" Matonis praised, but stared at him with a look of "I will find you to settle the account later."
"You can see that you are a hero!" Davers praised.
Tymothy Peston straightened his chest.
Daves pointed his finger at his right hand holding a dagger close to his side, and asked: "Are you injured?"
"Your Majesty...a little injury...has been healed." Tamosipace subconsciously moved his right hand back.
Martonis immediately stepped forward and pulled up his right hand, and saw a sword wound from his arm to the forearm. The skin turned outwards, revealing scarlet muscles. Although the bleeding had stopped, it was so long and hideous. The wound is still heartbreaking.
"Why don't you go to the medical camp for bandaging?!——"
Daves stopped Matonis from continuing to scold him, and then said to Tamosipace with earnest words: "Our kingdom's military law requires bravery in battle, and protect yourself after the battle. Do you know why? Because this is the only way. In order to continue fighting with a healthy body, you can continue to perform meritorious service. You have been rewarded for your military exploits, but it is best to enjoy this reward yourself after the war. We are now fighting away from home, and we need you to take care of your body! Hurry up and go to the doctor. The camp is looking for a doctor for treatment, and there will be more fierce battles waiting for us. We need a warrior like you to win the kingdom again!"
Speaking of this, Daves turned his head and said to Martonis and other legion commanders: "The soldiers are standing like this. It is absolutely unnecessary. They are very tired after today’s siege. They went back to rest, regained their physical strength, and let the officers at all levels take the responsibility, and sent the wounded soldiers to the medical camp for treatment! If there is something that is missed or undetected and causes the soldiers to become ill, the team officer must Accept the punishment!"
