    The Roman Seventh Legion was crippled.  After those giant shield chariots were set on fire by the Roman soldiers and exploded, the remaining Roman soldiers no longer had the courage to continue fighting.  They lost their formation and fled back into the city wall despite the intensive fire of crossbows, catapults and serial crossbows.  Bodies were left along the way.  More than 5,000 people from the Seventh Legion went out of the city to destroy the shield car. After such a mission, less than 2,000 people came back alive.  These are the elite of the Romans.  The Romans simply could not afford this kind of loss.  "Finally, we have eliminated those horrible foreign things." Looking at the remnants of the Seventh Legion who fled back in embarrassment, Arnubis showed an expression on his face that didn't know whether to cry or laugh, and looked at Sai as if to comfort him.  Velu said.  "" Severu, who was heartbroken, glanced at him bitterly.  If it weren't for the fact that the two of them were now grasshoppers tied to a rope, he would definitely not give up easily.  This was an elite army in his hands, and it was crippled just like that.  "What should we do now?" Arnubis looked at the boundless and huge army in the distance outside the city, and said with a hint of trembling in his voice, "Do you want to continue fighting?" "What else can we do if we don't continue?  Severus looked into the distance with a complicated expression, and said in a deep voice, "They don't accept the peace talks. What else can we do? Are we really going to be slaves to those aliens? Or run away with them to the north?"  Go to the Black Forest to join those German barbarians?" Arnubis clenched his fists tightly, his expression full of reluctance, and said bitterly, "In that case, let's live and die with the city of Rome!"  Before Bis's heroic words faded away, he was stunned to see a gap opening up in the alien military formation in the distance, and another row of large shield vehicles that were exactly the same as before were slowly pushed out!  "This, this" Severus was also dumbfounded.  Are those aliens kidding?  This horrible thing is not wheat in the wheat field.  How could you get so many out of nowhere!  ?  How to fight this?  "You can scare them to death if you scare them like this." Yuandian said with a smile. "A dozen shield chariots require thousands of elite Roman soldiers to replace them. Where did the Romans get so much strength? They can't hold on anymore." "I  It doesn't matter." Gao Yang waved his hand and said with a smile, "If they don't surrender, they will continue to fight until they completely capture the city of Rome." "Are you going to use black powder to blow up the city?  ?" Yuan Dian asked curiously.  "No." Gao Yang shook his head and said, "I just want to use black gunpowder to consume the Romans' effective strength, so that when we attack the city, we can greatly reduce the losses. After all, the environment in the city is complex. The cost of fighting these locals who are familiar with the environment is not small.  " "Do you think the Romans will continue to be fooled after suffering a big loss?" Yuandian asked.  "Who knows?" Gao Yang shrugged his shoulders indifferently, looked at the broken Roman city wall in the distance, and said softly, "They are all dead anyway, so what difference does it make?" The Romans were not fooled again.  In other words, they can't bear this kind of loss.  After urgent discussions, the Romans decided to abandon the city walls.  Anyway, the broken city wall won't be of much use at this moment.  There is nothing we can do about this.  Continuing to fight near the city wall has no meaning other than unnecessary increases in casualties.  After another blasting and demolition, the southern section of the city wall of Rome has completely collapsed.  Gao Yang discovered through the drone monitoring the battlefield that the Romans had fully retreated to the city.  "The tactics are quite advanced. Do you want to engage in street fighting?" Gao Yang sneered and immediately ordered the army to attack.  Enter the city of Rome!  In siege operations in the cold weapon era, under normal circumstances, the breakthrough of the city wall means that the attacker has achieved an absolute victory.  The siege war has basically come to an end.  However, under some special circumstances, siege warfare will continue into brutal hand-to-hand combat within the city.  For example, the defenders still have strong strength, or the city is extremely important, and the defenders' fighting will is very high, etc.  The siege will continue until one side is completely defeated.  The city of Rome is very huge. In this era, it is definitely one of the top and largest giant cities in the world.  This city, the core of the Western world, has a permanent population of millions, and there are even more people who have no identity statistics.  The city is densely packed with buildings almost everywhere.  Lots of residential properties.  Temples and various public facilities all show the prosperity and wealth of this city.  The Han army had very strict military discipline and was completely unique in this era.  But even with the strict military discipline of the Han army, after entering the city, many plundering incidents occurred that ignored military discipline.  It is enough to prove this??The prosperity of the city is amazing.  "Tsk, tsk~" He walked into a large temple built on a hill and looked at the rooms that were forcibly opened and filled with huge amounts of wealth that dazzled people's eyes.  Gao Yang shook his head and sighed and said, "There is so much money piled here to get moldy, and you don't even think about using it to motivate the soldiers to fight? I really don't understand what these Romans are thinking." The temples in Rome have multiple identities.  and function.  One of these was to serve as a bank for the Romans.  Much of the wealth of the Romans was stored in temples.  "You blasphemous pagans, the gods will not let you go!" Seeing the wealth stored in the temple being moved away by the foreign troops with a smile, an elderly priestess roared with all her strength.  Vent your anger.  Gao Yang turned around and looked at the priest who was cursing the Han army fiercely, and at the group of young priests behind her who were cowering under the supervision of the Han army's sharp blades.  Walked over with a smile.  "Your patron saint has abandoned you. Otherwise, the city of Rome would be destroyed now, why haven't they appeared to save you?" Gao Yang said with a smile, his hands behind his back.  "Pagans! You will surely accept the endless wrath of the gods! Wait until" Gao Yang waved his hand before the priest finished speaking, and when he turned to leave, he whispered to the Han army sergeant on the side, "Kill her." In just one day,  inside.  The Han army confiscated a huge amount of wealth from just a part of the occupied city.  These gold, silver, various metal utensils, as well as many works of art and precious furniture are piled up in mountains.  "What are you going to do with so much wealth? You won't distribute it all to the soldiers, right?" Yuan Dian asked softly.  Gao Yang raised his hand and pinched his chin.  Looking at the various utensils piled high in the square in front of me.  After pondering for a moment, he said, "Everything is divided into three parts, one for the soldiers and generals. One part will be taken back to the Han Empire, and the other part will be kept as a reserve for the governor-general." "Don't worry.  Is Cao Cao greedy?" Yuan Dian continued to ask.  Gao Yang smiled and turned around to leave the square, shaking his head and saying, "Do you think so many biochemical warriors are just decorations? Although I will not stay here for a long time, I will still come here from time to time. As long as Cao Cao is not stupid, he will  How many countries and nations have been conquered during this journey to the west? How much wealth has been plundered by Cao Cao, who is the governor?  There are plenty of opportunities to make money, how could he use such an obvious thing to cause trouble for himself? " "Then you plan to keep Cao Cao here as the governor?" Yuan Dian asked.  "How is that possible?" Gao Yang smiled and shook his head and said, "The governor will serve for five years, and no matter who he is, he can only be re-elected for one term at most. After that, he will go back to Luoyang City to arrange a post for retirement. No one can be the governor all the year round. I don't want to train people.  One after another, independent forces came out." Gao Yang stepped up to a nearby tower and stared at the places in the distance where fierce fighting broke out and blazing flames were ignited.  He smiled and said softly, "We need to speed up the construction of the Suez Canal. This time we have captured so many prisoners and sent them all to dig the canal. Those vassals must also contribute. As long as this canal is opened, it will be a great help."  "What about this city?" Yuan Dian asked softly.  Gao Yang frowned slightly and said in a deep voice, "This place will be the wealth of China in the future, and the people here are also the citizens of China, although they are second-class. The damage of the war must be controlled, and we cannot destroy it endlessly. As for those who are still there  It would be best if the Romans who were resisting could capture prisoners. The construction sites everywhere are now extremely short of manpower. "You really squeezed them all out," Yuan Dian said with a smile.  Gao Yang shook his head and chuckled, looking at the city of Rome caught in the flames of war, and said softly, "I didn't want to either. It's just that the world is like this." As time went by, the Romans who were still resisting became more and more desperate.  The foreign army that entered the city of Rome from the south moved very steadily.  After they occupied an area, they quickly stabilized it, and the Romans had no hope of taking it back.  The alien army is approaching step by step, eating away at the city of Rome bit by bit.  Severus set up several traps, trying to lure some of the foreign troops to rush in and eat the bait, so that he could launch a trap to encircle and annihilate them.  Unfortunately, except for once surrounding and eating more than 2,000 vassal troops from Asia Minor, Severus' tactics achieved nothing.  Watching the area controlled by the Romans shrink day by day on the map, the white hair of Severus and Arnubis grew at a speed visible to the naked eye.?Add it up.  As the actual leaders of the Roman Empire at the moment, Severus and Arnubis not only had to deal with the desperate offensive of the alien army, but also endured the constant mental bombardment of the senators in the Senate.  The senators accused the two of being unable to defend the city of Rome, accusing the two of betraying the trust of the empire, and accusing the two of incompetence in fighting.  In short, they are not satisfied with anything.  (To be continued)
