    With a cold face, Jia Xu ordered his people to drive away all the envoys from the vassal army who came to ask for help.  A large group of people gathered outside his military tent and chattered incomprehensible bird songs, which made Jia Xu very angry.  What do you tell me when your army is trapped in the city?  Jia Xu didn¡¯t need to see it with his own eyes to know that those vassal armies must not have followed the established tactics of fighting steadily and step by step.  These sergeants with poor military discipline killed the wealthy cities and then let the sheep go.  Now you still want to ask the Han army to save your life?  What do you think of the Han army?  Everything will be discussed after daybreak!  The morning sun is rising and the rays of light are shining everywhere.  With the arrival of a new day, the originally noisy city of Rome gradually became quiet.  The red-eyed Romans piled up the corpses and sent them away.  Roman soldiers holding short swords and holding shields went from house to house looking for fish that had slipped through the net after the bloody battle last night.  Short but fierce battles broke out in the city from time to time. After a burst of fighting and screaming, everything returned to calm.  On this crazy night, more than 30,000 vassal troops who rushed into the city of Rome were almost wiped out.  After the breakthrough was blocked by elite Roman legions.  These vassal armies without reinforcements were surrounded and annihilated in the city by a large number of Roman troops.  In desperation they were either killed or captured.  In the past, those captives of the Romans were generally sold as slaves.  But now the extremely angry and panicked Romans no longer had that interest, and directly escorted groups of prisoners to the city walls.  Killing the alien troops outside in batches.  This is done to intimidate the enemy and at the same time embolden one's own people.  Although the Romans successfully won this defensive battle.  But the real enemies didn't appear at all. Their opponents were just some vassal armies that were purely expendable.  "They are coming soon." Severus, who was wearing Roman armor, stretched out his hands to press the city wall in front of him, staring at the huge military camp in the distance that stretched to the horizon, and said in a deep voice.  "Can you still hold on?"  Arnubis, who was also wearing armor, tightened his hand on the dagger unnaturally and asked aloud.  Severus shook his head, sighed softly, and whispered, "You should be able to tell, right? It's just a group of vassal soldiers who have already fought like this. By the time those black-haired aliens come to kill them, they probably won't be able to hold on."  ." Arnubis turned his eyes to the huge ruins not far away.  There was a big gap there, but it was now covered by endless corpses and solidified blood.  Last night, when the battle was at its fiercest, the vassal troops who wanted to break through and rescue almost killed all the Roman legions who were holding on to this gap.  Although the Romans successfully defeated the vassal armies, their losses were not small at all.  The various slaves who were used as cannon fodder suffered heavy casualties.  Many slaves chose to escape while it was dark, causing huge losses in the city of Rome.  As for the Roman legions composed of citizens, nearly 20,000 people also fell when the vassal armies launched a desperate counterattack!  Not all Roman soldiers had access to hoplite equipment.  Even the Roman Empire did not have so much steel to arm so many armies.  In the battle last night, many legions were maimed, and nearly 6,000 elite veterans of the Roman Third Eagle Legion guarding the gap were almost wiped out.  These are the real elites in Rome.  "How could this be?" Arnubis' voice contained a trace of irrepressible anger and panic. "Why do they have such god-like powers? Why don't they just use these powers all the time!" Arnubis  He was talking about the steel monster that slaughtered hundreds of Romans in the Grand Forum that day, and yesterday's earth-shattering terrifying power that destroyed a section of a solid city wall.  In the eyes of the Romans, this kind of power was simply not something humans could possess.  "I can't answer any of your questions." Severus gritted his teeth and stared into the distance.  He said in a deep voice, "I can only tell you, they are coming!" Arnubis's heart sank, and he hurriedly turned his head to look at the alien military camp in the distance outside the city.  There, flags are flying and bugles are flying.  Countless figures swayed back and forth, and large numbers of troops left the military camp and headed towards the city of Rome!  "Charge into the city and kill any resistance you encounter. By occupying this city, our expedition will come to a perfect end. And you, too, will leave your names on the monuments of history forever!"  Gao Yang, who was riding on the war horse, raised his chin slightly and looked at the large number of generals in front of him, and said in a deep voice, "The honor of conquering this great city is yours!" "Wan Sheng!!!" He was already impatient.  The Han army generals shouted in unison.  They had been waiting for the order to attack for a long time.  The army with high morale is impatient for war.  They desire to gain something through war?More.  They have already defeated the city of Rome, and Gao Yang is not in a hurry at the moment.  In the early stage, the vassal armies were used to consume the strength and morale of the Romans and destroy the city defenses.  Then the main force of the Han army was invested to capture the entire city of Rome bit by bit.  The Roman walls were of little use at this moment.  The previous attack had already smashed the city wall here to pieces.  Moreover, a huge hole was severely opened by black powder.  The defensive effect is greatly reduced.  The huge Han army formed one huge military formation after another, marching towards the city of Rome with firm steps.  The remaining vassal troops all breathed a long sigh of relief.  They could no longer continue fighting.  Amid the roaring sound, there were a large number of crossbows and catapults.  Ballistas and other long-range attack weapons tilted their deadly greetings at the defenders.  Huge stones and crossbow arrows as thick as human arms caused huge casualties to the Romans.  When the Han army formation approached the city wall under the cover of the rain of arrows flying in the sky.  The Roman slaves among the defenders could no longer endure such huge casualties, and rebelled at this critical moment!  The armor of the heavily armored Roman soldiers and the giant metal shields in their hands could play a good defensive role against the continuous crossbow fire of the Han army.  However, those slaves had nothing but weapons in their hands.  How can clothes made of linen resist metal arrows?  The damaged city walls could not provide them with much protection.  Watching countless people fall in a pool of blood.  It was only natural that the slaves, who had no fighting spirit in the first place, began to run away.  The formation that the Romans had struggled to maintain fell into disarray in an instant.  This kind of escape before the formation is very terrifying.  Because they are at a disadvantage, once someone takes the lead in escaping, it will lead to a large-scale group effect.  The people who followed the escape were definitely in groups until the whole army collapsed.  Can you expect a group of slaves who have suffered torture and humiliation and live in an environment worse than death every day to work hard for their enemies and protect them?  When the threat of facing the sky full of arrows was greater than the fear of the dagger in the hands of the Romans.  The slaves who had been pushed up front, now the freedmen, began to crumble.  "Don't run! Don't run!!" The anxious-looking Roman soldiers waved their daggers desperately to kill the escaping slaves.  These veterans know very well that once this kind of thing reaches a large scale, no one can stop it.  "Ah!" A panicked slave was stabbed in the stomach by a senior centurion of the Roman legion.  The centurion pulled it easily and immediately disemboweled the slave.  Blue-gray intestines and various internal organs spurted out, and the scene was extremely terrifying.  "Kill them! Kill them!" This senior centurion was a battle-hardened veteran. After realizing something was wrong, he immediately began to instruct his men to kill.  With the cold light flashing, the red-eyed Roman soldiers took action and quickly killed hundreds of escaped slaves.  There were also slaves who chose to resist at the critical moment of life and death.  But how can slaves like them, who don't have enough to eat all year round, fight against the soldiers of Rome's elite legions?  All resistance was brutally suppressed.  "Anyone who dares to retreat will be killed without mercy!" The centurion raised the dagger still dripping with blood and pointed it at the cowering slaves, and shouted sternly, "Stand back! Everyone stand back!" The centurion stepped forward.  In front of him, he squatted down while passing the slave who was disemboweled by him.  He grabbed the slave's hair and swung the dagger in his hand violently. The slave's howling was immediately silenced.  The centurion raised his head and cast his fierce gaze on the slaves who wanted to run but were frightened back, and casually threw a human head over.  The frightened slaves were eventually driven back to the front line, preparing to face the deadly force of the Han army.  The riots were not limited to this place. Slave riots occurred on almost all front lines.  But they were all suppressed by the elite Roman veterans.  The Han army¡¯s brigade suddenly stopped a few hundred meters away from the city wall.  One after another, specially made huge shield vehicles were slowly moving towards the distant city wall, driven by a large group of vassal soldiers shouting slogans.  ¡°Those devils are here again!¡± The Romans, who had witnessed the terrifying power of black powder blasting city walls yesterday, shouted crazily.  The huge and invincible power, like a thunderbolt in the hand of Zeus, made everyone shudder.  "They must be stopped!" Severus, who personally came to the city wall to supervise the battle, shouted sternly with a pale face.  "Rush out, rush out! Don't let them get close to the city wall!" Although I don't understand why those shield vehicles have such terrifying power.  However, Arnubis still roared loudly and ordered the defenders to rush out to prevent the shield carts from approaching.  Under the coercion of the Roman soldiers, a large group of slaves rushed to the place full of corpses.?'s slope ruins.  Then they looked up and saw the sky full of arrows!  In order to prevent the Romans¡¯ counterattack from destroying the shield chariot, Gao Yang specially arranged an entire army of ten thousand people to block the ruins with serial crossbows.  Imagine what a spectacular sight it would be when tens of thousands of serial crossbows take turns firing.  How could slaves with only short swords or wooden shields resist such sharp arrows?  The slaves who rushed out almost fell to the ground in pieces.  There were so many corpses that the slaves behind had to crawl over.  (To be continued) Chapter 1074 All the way to the west (Thirty:
