Vol 8 Chapter 121: Visiting the city

Ledes is also welcome, saying directly: "The enemies in the granary will soon be destroyed. You will be half of the people watching the enemy in the city, preventing them from attacking the city, and others preparing to fight the fire."
Kuchius immediately returned to his army, and soon nearly a thousand soldiers jumped off the horse, took out the linen bag that was carried, and began to fill the ground. This is the order of the two military leaders after receiving the order from Davis last night, considering that the enemy has the possibility of burning the granary, prepared in advance, after all, the earthen jar is not easy to carry, and the soil is everywhere.
In a short while, more than 200 court guards also arrived on horseback, and the two heads of the army were surprised: "Have your knees come so soon?!"
"Your Majesty is worried that the Romans will follow the granary and send troops out of the city to fight with you, so let us come to the reinforcements, and the light infantry units are also rushing here." Martius replied.
Ledes scorned the head of the city: "Your Majesty is too worried, in fact the timid Romans simply did not dare to go out of town!"
At this time, the shouting sounds in the camp disappeared, the gates were opened, and the cavalry immediately rushed into the sacks filled with soil.
And Leders saw the third captain who rushed over and asked: "What about the casualties?"
"...32 brothers were killed and 67 people were injured, 15 of them were seriously injured..." The third captain was slightly depressed.
"There are so many casualties?!" Ledes did not think that he would pay nearly 100 casualties in the case of an absolute number of people, which made him feel sad. To know that in the Battle of Setia in Wolsey, the loss of the First Cavalry Corps was great. Although Turri sent some soldiers to supplement after the war, the number of the Legion was not full.
"What about the enemy inside?" he asked with hate.
"All the war is dead, no one surrenders."
Ledes did not speak, striding into the granary camp.
In the gate, he saw a Roman soldier sitting against the wall, with a sword wound on the front chest, blood rushing out, dyeing his body into blood red, he was motionless, his eyes closed, and his hands were still tight. The stab gun is like a sculpture. The top of the helmet is a bright red brim, apparently a team officer.
Ledes stopped and looked at him.
Who knows, the seemingly dead Roman soldier suddenly opened his eyes, angry contempt for Ledes, struggling to stab the stab gun in his hand.
"The head of the army is careful!" The cavalry behind him immediately rushed over.
"Don't move!" Ledes waved them, then stood still in the same place, looking straight at the other with a sharp eye.
The captain of the squadron of Rome, Gaius, wants to raise the stab gun, but the thorn gun that is usually light and innocent is heavy at the moment, and his accumulated strength is gone with the gushing blood, he can only The anger that screamed through the eyes slammed the leader of the enemy, but the eyelids became heavier and heavier. He was not willing to scream, but the blood suddenly poured out of the mouth...
Looking at the other person lying down, Ledes paused, then strode in.
..........................................
Seeing the big city standing in the distance, Davers couldn't help but hold the horse: Rome, the first and only one in the history of the past, the center of the great empire that turned the Mediterranean into the inner lake, how much about it The thrilling story has been circulated among the people for thousands of years, and many songs describing its poetry articles have been written by literati! It is a dream in the hearts of many Westerners who have ambitions in ancient times and today, a dream about unity...
In the past life, Daves did not have the opportunity to visit the great city that can be called the starting point of Western European civilization. Now he is here, but he does not see a bustling, historically ruined Rome. It is a simple city in the early stage of the Republic and just emerging. Although he has learned more about the city from the intelligence, it is hard to hide the excitement.
"Drive!" Daves's legs were clipped together, and the horse screamed and ran forward.
The people around "Your Majesty!!!" were shocked and hurriedly chased them up, but soon they let go of their hearts, because a group of cavalry in front of them greeted them. It was the former court guards who sent them out. They quickly sank in Around Davers.
When Davis saw Martius, he immediately asked: "Leders have already captured the river port and the granary?"
"Yes, Your Majesty." Martius replied: "The First Cavalry Corps and the Second Cavalry Corps did not receive too much resistance from the Romans, they seized the river port and the granary, and timely extinguished the granary fire, now The heads of the two divisions, Ledes and Kuzius, are checking out the supplies there, and they will report to you."

It’s just fine!
Daves sighed with relief: the first step was successfully completed, giving him more confidence in the attack on the city.
"Go, go see the city of Rome!" He pointed smugly ahead.
..........................................
The Romans on the wall of the western city of Rome saw the dust rising in front of them, and they continued to extend far away, until they were out of sight, and they could not help but be nervous because they knew that the army of Dionia came!
Then, they saw hundreds of cavalry galloping, standing 100 meters away from the wall: this team held two big flags, which was very different from the flag of the Dionyrian cavalry that was seen before. They are glittering all over the body. In the center of the cavalry is a gold helmet, the crown is the general of the long feathers, in the sky slightly west of the sun shines, especially dazzling.
"Probably the king of Dionia is coming." Someone in the veteran whispered indefinitely, no one disagreed, they silently looked at the suspected King of the Kings under the city, he I was pointing forward and talking to the people around me, and Err laughed.
A large sip of Axis took a sip, suddenly took the long shield of the soldier next to him, took out the sword, tapped the shield, and shouted loudly: "Rome! Rome! Rome!..."
The soldiers also followed the city guard’s rhythm to beat the long shield and shouted...
Soon, the elders joined in...
.............................................
When I saw the city wall in front, it was concave and sometimes convex, and the whole wall was not curved. Klotok Katax couldn’t help but say: "A ugly wall!"
Davers smiled and replied: "The reason why this wall was so bad was because the Romans rushed to rebuild the city of Rome after the Celtics in the north. They did not plan the whole city at all, just to satisfy the Romans at that time. The needs of citizens. For example -"
Daves pointed to the left side of the wall near the Tiber River and said: "I remember correctly, behind the wall should be the Laventine Hill, one of the seven hills of Rome. And here -"
Davers pointed to a large section of the city wall that was equally prominent outwards: "The back of this wall is the largest slum in Rome."
"The Romans built the city like this. Didn't you think about how to defend the city in case of being besieged in the future?!" Maltius was surprised to know that Rome had not seen much before. He did not expect the Romans to be so short-sighted.
"But they built the walls very high, and the trenches dug in front of the city seemed to be wide..." Klotok Katex looked at the towering walls in front, and it was probably no more than 15 meters.
At this time, the staff officer, Tormid, said: "His Royal Highness, the wall is high and useless, and its walls are curved, which is conducive to our soldiers avoiding the concentrated long-range attacks from the top down by the Romans. The Romans quickly reached their destination on the wall and reinforced them. Moreover, although there were trenches in front of the city, there was no deer village. As long as the trenches were filled, our siege equipment could be easily pushed to the city..."
In these years, although Tolmed did not participate in the battle, he has decades of mercenary career, and has been serving in the military department for a long time. Therefore, Croto Cataks listened carefully and asked from time to time.
Daves did not bother them, but was seriously watching the defense of the city of Rome.
"Rome!!! Rome!!! Rome!!!..."
At this time, thunderous shouts sounded on the wall, neat and grand, giving Devers a feeling: as if the countless Roman soldiers in the city were integrated into the wall.
He looked back and said: "The walls built by the Romans are not very good, but looking at this battle, this siege warfare may not be easy."
Tormide, Maltius and others expressed their approval.
At this time, the detective rides galloped: "Under the newspaper, the three heads of Amintas, Matonis, and Lizaru have led the army to arrive!"
Daves heard the words, looked around and smiled: "It seems that we won, Amintas should not lose anything!"
Everyone laughed~EbookFREE.me~Davers looked at a branch that was constantly approaching in the dust, saying: "Tormid, immediately inform the heads of the army... well, let The mountain Detective Captain Izam also came here immediately!"
"Yes!"
..........................................
In recent years, although the river port in Rome has undergone many expansions, it has only five or six terminals. The port area is not large, much smaller than the granary next to it. The only thing that interests Daves is the port. A lot of wood was found in the warehouse: "After the various regiments are properly placed, notify the engineering camp and transport them all to arrange the camp or make more siege equipment."
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Tolmid was busy letting the staff members write down the matter.
Deavers looked down at the sparkling waters of the Tiber River, and the water flow was smooth and deep.
He moved his gaze to the distance again. The wide river surface made the opposite side look like a shadow. It was not very real. He turned his head and looked up. He was disappointed that there was only a river within his sight and he did not see the connection between the south and the north shore. Vertebral bridge.
