After Oliver’s Fourth Army defeated the city wall, he did not think carefully, did not do investigations, and did not control the soldiers under his command so that they rushed into the gap. As a result, he was trapped under the city. There were many burns, and the casualties were extremely heavy.

As for the Second Corps of Matonis, since Daves was behind him, he almost watched the entire battle with his own eyes. He knew very well that although the Second Corps had the best siege equipment, Rome People also assembled heavy troops to defend the area he attacked, so Daves didn't have much resentment against Matonis.

Davos rarely said such heavy words in the wars of these years, and several legion commanders bowed their heads in shame.

Davos did not look at them anymore, slowed down, and said to Stacekdas: "What is the difficulty for you to rescue the soldiers?"

"There are too many wounded soldiers, and we don’t have enough manpower to take care of them."

"Tormid, you are responsible for drawing soldiers from the various legions, letting them obey the command of Stacekdas, assisting the medical camp, and rescuing your comrades in arms."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"Your Majesty, we still need a lot of spacious and clean rooms for the wounded soldiers to recuperate and recover."

"This matter is easy to handle." Daves thought for a while, and said: "I heard that many Roman nobles fled to Capitolin Mountain. All are freed up and used by the medical camp."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Staceikdas hesitated for a moment, and then said: "And... Your Majesty, I hope I can heal the injured Roman people." The heart of the doctor's parents, although the two sides are hostile, in the eyes of the doctor, there are only patients. .

Davers smiled slightly and said with satisfaction: "If you don't tell me about this, I will let you do it too."

Davers once again set his sights on the commanders of the legions: "Now let's clarify where the legions are located in Rome."

When the commanders heard this, they immediately leaned forward and looked at the map of Rome on the wooden table.

"The First Army and the Second Army are camping in the square." Daves pointed to the map and said: "The Fourth Army is camping in the arena, the Sixth Army is camping in the southeast corner of the city, and the Fifth Army is camping in the southwest corner of the city. Camp, the Third Army—"

Davers paused and looked at Lizaru: "You still live in the original camp, and you have to include the river beach where the third fleet parked the warships, and continue to improve the defense of the camp and other legions. Compared to that, you have to work harder, but you have to understand that it is very important that you guard the entire army’s material transportation base! Be sure to guard it carefully so that no problems will arise!"

"Leave it to our 3rd Army Corps. Don't worry, your Majesty!" Lizaru said loudly.

Davos nodded and looked around the commanders of the corps: "Everyone understands the location of your corps, don't hesitate to mention it if you have any difficulties."

Several legion commanders looked at the map and all said they had no opinion, only Georgris looked embarrassed. Daves looked in his eyes and immediately said: "Georges, don't hesitate to say if you have any difficulties."

Gioglis said carefully: "Your Majesty, there are messy houses everywhere in the southwest corner of the city. There is not enough open space for the Fifth Army to camp, and the garbage is everywhere, the smell is unpleasant, and it is not conducive to the rest of the soldiers... There is a lot of open space near the field. See if I can let the Fifth Army camp here in the arena."

When Daves heard this, he hurriedly looked at the map. The map did not mark the slums on the southwest corner of Rome, but he believed Geogris's statement. After all, they were the generals who were close to the front line.

"Yes!" Daves immediately complied with Geogris's suggestion, and asked the Sixth Corps commander: "Trotras, do you have difficulties with the Sixth Army camping in the southeast corner?"

"Your Majesty, I observed when I was in the city, there is enough open space, there is no problem in camping."

After talking about the infantry regiments, Daves looked at the cavalry regiment commander again: "The camp of the two cavalry regiments is on the north side of Silio Hill and south of the square. There is a big market there. Now the Romans I don’t need it anymore. When I entered the city gate just now, I saw that there were some corrals and stables in the market just suitable for your cavalry."

Neither Leides nor Cuzius had any objection.

"Now that the battalions of the legions have been determined, let's clarify your defense areas." Davers clicked on the map and continued: "The section of the wall that each legion attacked was the section of the wall you were going to patrol. At the same time, each legion It is also responsible for the order and safety of the city. It was initially planned in this way. The Fourth and Fifth Army Corps were responsible for the urban area south of the arena. The Second Army, Fleet Infantry, and Mountain Reconnaissance Brigade are responsible for the area in the middle of the city."

Speaking of this, Daves looked at Matonis: "Your Second Army is responsible for the largest area, but the number of soldiers is the smallest. But don’t worry. According to the information I have so far, the middle Most of these residents in the city are Roman nobles, but many of them have fled to Capitoline Hill. Your task is relatively easy."

"Your Majesty, even if they are still there, our brothers in the Second Army will not have any pressure. They are all old and young women and children. What is terrible!" Matonis said confidently.

"The Third Army is responsible for the north bank of the Roman Vertebral Bridge, and at the same time protects the port we are about to build there. As for the two cavalry corps, your task is to patrol the city, find anomalies, and promptly notify the area in charge. Let them solve the problem that the city is not conducive to cavalry operations. Don’t let our precious cavalry be damaged here. In addition, the corps must seize the time to improve the defensive city section, arrange deer villages outside the city wall, and dig traps... …To ensure that we no longer need to pay major casualties to easily defend this city that already belongs to us...Oh, yes, the gap between the two sections of the city wall that your Fourth and Fifth Army blasted down must hurry up. Repair it!"

"Your Majesty, our soldiers are already stepping up repairs." Geogris said immediately.

"Very good!" Davos nodded at him with satisfaction. Geogris was not as brave as Matonis in fighting, nor was he as wise as Oliver. He was even a little timid by nature, but it was precisely because of the timidity that made him. He has become cautious and attentive, and at some point he can play an important role.

"Your Majesty, where are we? Where do we live? What is our mission? You won't forget us!" Epithenis asked urgently.

"How could you forget your troops!" Daves laughed, then pointed his finger at the mountain-shaped sign next to the western section of the northeast city wall, and said in a deep voice: "I ask you to lead your troops to build a camp, and take Kapi Surrounded by Tuolin Mountain."

"Isn't it better to attack it directly?!" Epithenis suggested loudly.

"No, we want to keep it." Daves smiled secretly: "This is how we can control the Roman army outside the city."

Daves's words made the legionnaires think.

"You are all clear about your mission, right? Who else has a different opinion?"

"No more." The generals replied in unison.

"How many prisoners did we capture?" Daves turned his head and asked Tolmeide.

"Preliminary statistics have more than 21,300 people."

"There are a lot of people."

"Many of them are old people, women, children... and slaves." Tolmeide reminded.

"Release all the captives over 55 and under 15 years old, and the rest will be escorted by your legions as laborers... Wait—" Daves suddenly remembered something, and changed his words: "First Distinguish the nobles and civilians among these prisoners, as well as the diners of the nobles, and make sure that nobles and diners, young or old, are not allowed to be released."

"This...We are not very familiar with the situation in Rome. If we want to distinguish them clearly, I am afraid it will not be done in a short time." Tolmeide looked embarrassed.

"You...take Valks--the Roman slave who has just returned to us, and let him make a preliminary distinction. You only need to be responsible for supervising." Daves understands that these men are good at fighting. But he has no experience in handling other government affairs. He is now very eager for the group of veterans and administrative officials in Ostia.

"Understood." Tolmead accepted the order.

"Oropps, the engineering team you organized has produced many siege equipment in a short period of time, and has done a great job in conquering the city of Rome!..." Daves did not hesitate to praise It also informs the military judge that the contributions made by engineers and carpenters must be recorded as an important basis for rewards based on merit after the war.

Next, he made a request: "I need you to lead all the engineering staff to build a simple dock as soon as possible on the beach where the warships of the Third Fleet are parked, so that our cargo ships can dock and load and unload materials."

Oropps was surprised: "Your Majesty, isn't there a river port here! Why build another one?"

Davers knew that even though Oropps was born as a mercenary, he had been obsessed with researching and manufacturing equipment over the years, and he didn’t know much about the current situation, so he explained to him patiently: "The Roman army just It’s coming soon. I’m afraid there will be nearly 70,000 people. With our current military situation, it’s not suitable to fight against it. For the time being, we can only hold on to this city of Rome, while the river port is outside Rome and there is no strong wall protection. It takes a lot of casualties if you want to defend it. This is completely unnecessary, so I can only rely on you! And tomorrow, a large number of people and cargo ships will arrive in Rome. I hope you can speed up the construction of the dock!"

"We will try our best!" Oropps replied in a deep voice. Although he felt a certain amount of pressure, he was still confident that he could build the dock tomorrow. After all, he now has more than 1,000 experienced and skilled workers. Superb engineers and craftsmen (including the engineering battalions of various legions), and there is plenty of wood.
