Chapter six hundred and sixty-ninth broken city

Bang—

The rope was cut off, and the wooden spoon that twisted to the extreme suddenly bounced up. The terrifying force shook the entire stone throwing base. The huge rock flew across the sky and drew a long trajectory. With dozens of feet of hysterical shouts on the opposite side, there was a loud bang. The round stone bolt rolled on the ground, and the fragments scattered everywhere. In the dust and smoke, the broken corpses could no longer see the shape of the human being. In Latin, the Romans pushed the scorpion gun over and counterattacked the opposite side, and the smaller stone bolts smashed the high stone throwing machine. The Roman soldiers shouted and ran away quickly. Several wooden pillars supporting the base behind them burst, and the three-meter-high stone throwing machine tilted, and then poured over, and the residue scattered all over the ground.

On October 17th, the Western Expedition Army fought for the third time against Constantine East Road. In the previous military discussion, all the generals understood that this was not a real battlefield. After the war started, no soldiers were actually sent to the bridge to seize it. One was a distance of dozens of feet wide, and the height below made the soldiers who were not afraid of the sky and the earth feel fearful. At the moment of the war, try to cover and suppress it with stone throwers and bows and arrows, and try to make the illusion of great momentum.

After all, it was a secret plan to conquer Chen Cang.

Moving south along the trench line, for more than 200 miles, the civilians and auxiliary soldiers pushed the bridge components, or tied their bodies down the cliff, and built beams and pillars supporting the bridge body against the cliff wall. Before this, the craftsman also drew local architecture from the Greeks in the Anatolian region. During the construction of the bridge body, there were also many voluntary craftsmen, most of whom hoped to observe the architectural skills of the East. But in any case, they still hoped that through this kind of friendly expression, the army from the East could help Greece restore its country...

Two thousand Eastern and Western craftsmen rushed to the stage for several days, and with the assistance of the army from the side, on October 20, the bridge leading to the opposite trench was finally completed. At the same time, the Roman scout who found the movement brought another Constantine's army to arriving thirty miles away from the bridge. Then, Zhao Yun and Ma Chao, who had crossed the bridge first, directly defeated more than 10,000 people from the other party. Although the other party made a resistance gesture, Zhao Yun still realized that the Roman army did not have much fighting will.

With just one charge, the army showed signs of defeat. Ma Chao dispersed a Roman defeated army, gathered the team and came back. He saw Zhao Yun on the slope of Zhuma and went straight to the past: "Brother-in-law, I think there is something wrong."

"Are the people of the Qin Dynasty cheating?" Zhao Yun looked at the group of Romans who were kneeling on the ground and begging for surrender, and recruited a cavalry to send an order: "Transfer the situation here to the lord."

In the afternoon of arrival, the main force of the Western Expedition Army began to move south from the east side of Constantine. On the newly built bridge, the Jiangzuo Battalion and the Logistics Battalion followed the Parthian Cavalry, Kushan, Dayuan and Greek Restoration Army, and built defenses across more than 20 miles. Then the main force of the Western Expedition Army crossed the bridge to the south of Constantine on the morning of the fifth day.

At this time, the armies had cleared more than 200 miles in radius, and the farthest distance was almost at the arrival of Macedonia. A large number of Roman citizens, poor people, and even slaves in the manor were captured by the army and drove towards Constantine and surrounded this lonely city.

"So, Severu may be dead..."

Gongsun Zhi rode on the war horse. In the setting sun, he looked at the numb slaves, the crying Roman citizens, and the civilians extended densely to the horizon. The galloping Huns and Xianbei cavalry gave them a terrifying laugh, driving away the vast ocean, and occasionally lifted women out of the crowd to vent, or chopped and slashed them wantonly, tied the struggling figures to their necks, rode horses and dragged them, waiting to stop, only bloody wreckage was left.

"Then you won't waste your time, just attack the city!"

The words of order were ordered, and the Mercedes-Benz cavalry sounded the horn of attack. At the end of October, the crowds of screaming crowds rushed to Constantine. After a large number of Romans consumed the first wave of arrows in the city, the Greek Restoration Army soldiers and the Western Liang army mixed in the crowd raised ladders to build the city wall.

Amid the sound of war drums, the three hundred and twenty-five stone throwers that could be disassembled were also assembled and swung in a fan shape. The great man's cavalry rode his horse forward with a ring-headed knife. The sound rang out and roared out: "Put on the stone bullet, get ready!"

A large number of piles of stone bullets were pushed down from the shaft, and several people were lifted up and placed into a wooden spoon that was pressing down hard. The lever inlay squeaked and extended one after another. Dozens of cavalry almost waved the flag and shouted with the greatest sound: "—Smash them to death!"

Boom--

Boom boom boom boom-

The blades cut down, and the moment the rope broke, the stone bullets as big as a water tank flew high, rushed into the sky one after another, passing through the red sunset, and landed towards the city wall that spanned dozens of miles away. The crowd was like an ant climbing up, and the spears slammed down frantically. More Romans were running on it, panicked, soldiers holding bows and arrows hid behind the walls, gasping for breath, their nerves were tensed to the extreme, their bloody fingers pulled an arrow again, and they stood up suddenly. The huge shadow in their eyes shrouded in their bangs, and the loud bang, in front of them

The walls cracked and flew away, and the stones splashed like blades slashed by a man. They cut open his neck, and the stones that smashed the walls rolled up, rolled over the archer's body, and crashed into a group of Roman soldiers running towards this side. The moaning bodies twisted on the ground, breaking, and the crushed limbs formed a terrifying bright red. Countless noises and panic sounds extended backwards, and crossed this section of the city wall. It was a huge and magnificent city. In neatly stacked buildings, there were no one in the streets and alleys. The civilians hiding at home hugged their wives and children in the corner and listened quietly to the sound of hysterical fighting on the wall.

Then, a huge roar rang not far from their street. The child in his arms ran to the window curiously. Through the gap, a stone bullet was embedded in a two-story earthen building opposite. The people in the house screamed and rushed to the street... There were still many rocks falling down in the sky, and the streets south of the city were shocked and chaos arose.

Facing the crazy offensive of the Selius, Parthians, and Greeks, Constantine, who had already died of the emperor and had no backbone, after persisting for an hour, the waving golden eagle flag descended, and someone appeared on the top of the city with a white flag. Then, the three Roman legions guarding the city sent people outside the city.

"It seems that Severus is really dead, but I'm curious, why didn't Constantine come for such a long time?"

In the evening, in the last ray of sunshine, the camp tent that was temporarily set up lit up, and the candlelight also burned the bonfire for heating. Gongsun Zhi led the generals to stand at the tent and said, then dragged his cloak back inside, "...... The people of the Qin Dynasty are good at fighting. Needless to say, they cannot not see the importance of this city, unless there is something more important to hold back the reinforcements."

"Can it be General Sun and the others?" Yan Rou pressed her knees with both hands and frowned.

"They know the road? There is a big puddle over there."

Xiahou Yuan agreed with Yan Rou's words and rubbed his chin with a short beard: "Sun Ce and the two generals Huang Zhong came from Jiangdong and Jingzhou, and were also good at water warfare. Moreover, there was a resourceful Zhou Yu here. Maybe they were really behind the Romans."

Not long after, Li Ke came back from outside.

"Chief, the city of Ding sent people here. It seemed like he was going to surrender, but these guys also put forward many conditions..."

At the first place, the figure of Wolf Vermill Black Ao waved his hand: "Only one is left, everyone else is killed, tell them that the losers have no conditions to say, either open the city gate or we will kill in."

“Let’s go now.”

Li Ke turned around and ran away with a mace. After sending out the envoys in the city, the three legion commanders kept wandering on the city wall and not going down, waiting anxiously for the news. Soon after, in the light of the torch, the outline of a man came back shakingly on his horse, with more than ten heads hanging all over his body.

"Your Majesty is dead, Constantine has no reinforcements..." A legion commander sat in a pool of blood leaning against the wall, and his head hit the bricks a few times. The rest of his companions looked over and said with difficulty: "Then... let's surrender." The dagger that was originally held in his hand whispered, threw it on the ground.

As night gradually faded, the city gate opened while the sky was white and blooming in the east.

This city that has flowed through a long river of time welcomes the army from the East for the first time.
