    "Run!" Severus came to Arnubis's side, with a complicated look on his face, and raised his hand to pat his shoulder.  Arnubis's body trembled slightly, and his bloodshot eyes looked over blankly.  With a wry smile, he said, "Can't you hold on anymore?" Severus shook his head vigorously, his voice full of helplessness, "The blood of Roman men is almost drained. Now my generals are starting to  The boys were recruited to go to the battlefield. I watched the children with helmets covering half of their faces and no taller than a javelin walking towards the battlefield. " At this point, Severus closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and said.  "It's really impossible to fight anymore." "It's already reached this level." Arnubis sighed bitterly and said, "Are all the empire's legions dead?" A complicated look flashed in Severus' eyes.  "Except for those who fled with the cowards, and the few legions that are now in their hands as the last strength. The other Roman legions are basically finished. Most of them were completely disabled, and the remaining troops were integrated and stuffed in. Some of the new soldiers are still resisting.  . However, there were also many legions that were completely wiped out. They held on to important positions and were completely annihilated after being surrounded by foreign troops. " "Are there 200,000 of them?"  Nubis asked suddenly.  "Yes." Severus nodded bitterly.  Regardless of the losses of civilians, the regular Roman soldiers alone had already lost 200,000 people in battle!  That was more than thirty Roman legions!  How many times in the history of the Romans could an army of this size appear?  And he was still defeated!  "Then we really can't fight anymore." Arnubis looked slightly stunned, and then nodded without knowing whether he was crying or laughing.  "I'll go to Gaul, you go to Spain." Severus shouted with a sincere look, "We still have a lot of immigrants and wealth in various provinces. After we get there, we will collect all the wealth of the rich and use it to recruit local immigrants.  Hire the barbarians to form a new legion. We must persevere! The hometown of those aliens is too far away, and they will eventually return. As long as we can persevere, there will be a day when we can regain the city of Rome!  Arnubis smiled bitterly, looked at Severus, and said in a dry voice, "You are a soldier and have a strong character. The responsibility of recovering the city of Rome rests entirely on you. I am from the Roman Empire."  Archon. Now that the glorious city of Rome is about to fall, how can I leave?" "You!?" Severus was shocked. He had no idea that this competitor he had looked down on in the past had such a noble character.  Character?  He did not run when the Senate and nobles fled.  He didn't leave even when he asked him to retreat.  When the empire was about to fall, he, the emperor of the empire, was ready to run away, but Arnubis actually chose to live and die with the empire!  This kind of character.  Severus felt that his eyes were a little wet, and he quickly turned around and raised his head.  I don't want to let myself shed cowardly tears.  "At the end of a glorious empire, there must be some people who died for him." Arnubis calmly walked to the window and looked at the distant Roman city that had been plunged into endless war and smoke, and whispered, "Just  Let me, the consul, disappear with the empire." "Da~da~da~" Severu strode towards the door with his head raised slightly. He needed to do his own thing. "Is the loss so big?" Gao Yang said.  Accompanied by a large number of military generals, they came to a Roman square and saw that one side of the square was filled with wounded people lying in pain.  On the other side are rows of corpses of fallen Han soldiers covered with white cloth.  "Reply to the Lieutenant." Pound, with a bitter look on his face, stepped forward and bowed, saying, "Those Romans seemed to be crazy and resisted desperately. They were all hiding in the building, and our crossbows were not very effective. If there were only people  If they rush in, the Romans will resist wildly, and many Romans will even rush out and throw the soldiers down from the mountain. " "Oh?" Gao Yang looked up at the broken god on a hill next to the square.  temple.  There were broken corpses lying on the ground everywhere, and the originally white marble pillars were now rendered crimson by blood.  From time to time, Roman figures flashed between the columns.  "Is this the last bit of madness?" Gao Yang narrowed his eyes slightly and whispered to himself.  Turning to look at Pound, he asked, "Why not use heavy weapons? How many people will we lose if we rely on soldiers to charge forward?" "Sir Taiwei." Pound responded hurriedly, "There is a lot of wealth in this kind of temple."  "What if we use heavy weapons?" "You idiot!" Gao Yang cursed bitterly, "What kind of goods can be more important than soldiers?", are you here just for these goods?  !  Without the soldiers, if I give you a golden mountain, will you keep it?  ?  " Turn around and squint at the temple. He ordered in a deep voice, "Push up the black powder and blow it up!  " Wealth is not important. Don't say that Gao Yang doesn't care about these things at all. Even if he really cares, he will not exchange the lives of his soldiers for these wealth. Fighting to the death in a distant foreign country, what can be compared to  Are the lives of the soldiers more important? Several four-wheeled carriages were pulled over. Barrels of black powder were unloaded from the carriages, no matter what they were.  No building can stop the powerful power of black gunpowder. The mountains in Rome are not tall, but are more like hills. On these mountains are either luxurious mansions or magnificent temples.  A large number of vassal soldiers came forward, holding strong shields and forming a strict defense line to stop the Roman soldiers in the temple.  The Han soldiers used sharp engineering shovels to quickly dig huge holes. They did not necessarily need to be very close to blow up the temple with gunpowder. The huge power of the gunpowder explosion was very powerful for this kind of loose mountain soil.  It was effective. If the number was sufficient, they could easily destroy the temple even if they were slightly farther away. The Romans were not fools. They naturally noticed what the Han troops were doing, but they definitely didn't.  What a good thing. A large group of Romans rushed out of the temple and tried to launch a counterattack. However, they were baptized by sharp arrows and fell to the ground with arrows embedded in their bodies before they could get close.  A small number of Romans rushed in front of the vassal army, but they were unable to break through these solid shield formations. The Romans were brave at this time, but the vassal army was not bad at all. After the bloody battle, the two sides were already in a desperate situation.  What happened was a fierce fighting. The Romans, who lost the protection of the temple building, suffered heavy losses and had to retreat to the temple. Following the general's order, the Han army and its vassals were forced to retreat.  The soldiers retreated down the hill like a tide. Before the Romans in the temple could rush out to eliminate the danger, a violent roar echoed throughout the city. A huge pillar of dust rose into the sky, reaching a height of 100 meters.  The city of Rome could be seen. The temple and the Roman soldiers stationed here were all destroyed. The strong explosion shock wave was enough to destroy everyone's internal organs and make them sway and buzz to death.  With his ears open, Pang looked shocked at the scorching earth splashing around like raindrops. "Is it necessary for military generals to exist in the future?  What does the hard-working body and martial arts mean in front of this kind of thing?  " Gao Yang didn't have time to care about Pang De's thoughts. After the explosion gradually subsided, he turned to the generals and loudly ordered, "In the future, when encountering the stubborn resistance of the Qin people, use gunpowder to blow up all the buildings that are not easy to attack.  The people of Daqin are now like grasshoppers after autumn and can only live for a few days.  The crazier they act, the more powerful we must use to fight back!  " "Here!  "A large number of generals responded in unison. In the following days, the Han army began to change tactics. When encountering Roman soldiers hiding in solid buildings and desperately resisting, they no longer chose to break through forcefully. Most of them directly  A large amount of black gunpowder was used to destroy a small number of important buildings, and the army was directly surrounded, waiting for the defenders to die of thirst or surrender. The change in the Han army's fighting style greatly accelerated the loss of Roman soldiers.  . At the same time, it also weakened the will of the Roman soldiers to resist. After all, every explosion was so powerful that few people could see it. Facing such things that could not be resisted by humans, the morale of the Romans began to decline.  It became a matter of course. ¡°I left.  "Severus, dressed in military uniform, came behind Arnubis and said in a deep voice, "I am the emperor of the empire. I cannot die until I have driven away the alien army and regained the city of Rome.  "    "Um.  "Arnubis, wearing a gorgeous purple robe, sitting on a chair and drinking wine, said without looking back, "I wish you success.  " Severus looked around at the slaves who were constantly stacking firewood and other kindlings in the room. His eyes turned back to Arnubis, and he whispered with a complex expression, "You are a real Roman.  Apologies for previous disputes between us.  Please rest assured, I will definitely regain my motherland!  " "Go well.  "Alnubis sipped.?Good wine, still no looking back.  He was afraid that he would not be able to continue his determination if he turned around and would run away with Severus.  Severus left, taking the last few Roman legions all the way north towards Gaul.  He wanted to reorganize the Roman legions there, hoping to recapture the city of Rome.  Arnubis stayed. After a crazy night, when a large group of Han troops gradually approached his mansion, a blazing flame made him stay in Rome forever.  Dust to dust, dust to dust.  The beginning of everything is also the end of everything.  (To be continued.)
