Destiny Only Han

Chapter 907 Liu Ying: Religion reform, and then the Great Holy War...

At seven o'clock in the morning, the siege battle officially began.

The Geturians and Galamantes, armed with wooden shields and tattered weapons, and wearing only a loincloth, howled and began to charge.

Among them, the slightly taller slaves were carrying improvised ladders.

The Romans were stingy. After they knew that the Carthaginians who defended the city also had weapons such as scorpion crossbows, they were reluctant to equip these cannon fodder with more convenient siege ladder vehicles.

As a result, black-skinned slaves began to ascend the city amidst arrows flying all over the sky.

As the defenders of the city, the Carthaginians undoubtedly had an absolute geographical advantage.

Giant logs, rolling stones, spears.

Such defensive weapons are harvesting the lives of black-skinned slaves all the time.

But the slaves had no way out.

Behind them were not only the slaves who were driven towards them like a tide, but also the fully armed supervisor team.

Those who retreat die!

In order to encourage the slaves to attack the city, the Romans specifically promised them that they would be allowed to loot the city for half a day after breaking the city!

Although the slaves knew that this wish was too ethereal, people always have dreams in life, and the Carthaginians in the city had enmity with them!

Well, to be precise, they are the creditors of the Carthaginians...

After all, they were mercenaries before...

Two hours passed.

The slaves went from bleeding into rivers to breaking up, and were driven to attack the city again, and then captured and attacked the city after bleeding into rivers again. After doing this several times, they were killed and injured!

But what was even more unbearable was the Carthaginians who guarded the city.

exhausted.

Physical exhaustion, mental exhaustion, and the numbness of killing the same kind made them feel tired. They wanted to put down the weapons in their hands, take off the armor on their bodies, go to rest, run, talk to their terrified family members, and go to God. The temple made a confession for his killing...

Unfortunately, they can't.

Under the labor of the auxiliary soldiers of the Roman legion, a road appeared from the waiting Roman legion to the city of Carthage in the sea of ​​corpses and blood.

Thus, the real siege began!

Ballistas, trebuchets, battering rams, movable siege towers, etc., appeared one by one, approaching the walls of Carthage slowly but resolutely from a distance.

The Carthaginians in the city were also fully prepared.

All the armed men went to the city to fight, whether they were dignitaries, merchants, priests, or poor people, they were dressed in fine or simple armor, ready to fight to the death.

And at the city gate, [-] of the most elite Carthaginian Holy Legion were also waiting in full force.

These people are the last elite of the Carthaginians, they are the guards guarding the temple and the senate. They are all from noble families, armed to the teeth, and uniformly dressed with a special shellfish that is priced at gold and jade. The dyed purple robes may be the reason why they need to prepare their own armor. The armor on their bodies is varied and has everything...

Chain mail, scale armor, ring armor, and even Greek-style bronze muscle armor...

The same goes for helmets.

There are horned helmets that symbolize Baharmon, and there are Corinthian helmets in a luxurious gold version. There are red-dyed orangutan hairs on the officer's helmets to distinguish between superiors and subordinates.

In addition to the armor, furs of ferocious animals such as leopards or lions are also stitched to show bravery.

Therefore, when the city gate was broken by the Roman legion, the eyes of the first Roman soldiers who rushed in suddenly turned red.

They knew that the Carthaginians were very rich, but they didn't expect them to be so rich!
Did not say, kill!

Kill all the enemies in front of you, peel off those valuable armor furs and wear them on yourself, and then go to loot the wealthy households in the city!
Allied commander Cicero was in no hurry to enter the city.

He had previously promised that after Carthage broke the city, it would be looted by legionary soldiers for half a day.

At this time, Rome still had an electoral system. If the Cicero family wanted to continue to gain seats in the Senate, they needed the support of these prestigious citizen soldiers.

Moreover, legionnaires recruited by the Cicero family also rushed into the city.

The target of these legionnaires is naturally the money bank in the city!

After all he is the Supreme Commander and the Roman Consul with the right to eat the biggest piece of meat!

But the first to suffer in the city of Carthage was not the temples, shops or treasuries that held a lot of wealth, but the people.

Those Carthaginians who hid at home after the city was broken were driven out. Those who dared to resist were killed directly, and the useless old people were killed directly. Only young men and women were spared.

These can be exchanged for money.

But those Roman legionaries with Carthaginian blood on their hands didn't immediately abuse the Carthaginian women. They had another thing to do.

robbery.

The legionnaires who were united and cooperating a second ago became alert to each other in an instant. They chased each other and ran in the streets of Carthage, trying to plunder more wealth than others.

There are many treasures, and the temple full of gold and silver has become their first choice.

And the shops and mansions in the city were on fire.

In this battle, the goal of the Romans was to raze the city of Carthage to the ground, spread salt on the land around the city, and completely exterminate this nation!
Kneeling on the ground, the Carthaginians burst into tears as they watched their homeland gradually fall into ruins.

hatred!
They hate their own incompetence!
They hate the cruelty and greed of the Romans even more!
"God, please save us..."

During the shouts, their gods did not save them. Instead, they fell to the ground amid the shouts of Roman soldiers, making a loud noise, and the gems adorned on their bodies were quickly looted.

Perhaps, there is no god in this world.

But if you never forget, there will be echoes.

At 29:[-] a.m. on Jiayin in the fifth month of the Han Dynasty, ten miles southeast of Carthage, smoke and dust rose everywhere, and iron hooves rumbled.

Han army, here we come!
....................................

Outside the city, the coalition commander Cicero, who was preparing to enter the city to receive cheers, was dumbfounded.

He couldn't believe his ears.

This is Carthage, and Cyrenaica and Numidia are separated from the Egyptian Governor's Palace occupied by the Han people!

The cavalry of the Han army, can they fly with wings?

However, another possibility quickly emerged in his mind.

Could the Han army penetrate these two countries all the way?
It's not impossible!

This can be verified from the look of the Numidian king Myrissa.

After all, in order to participate in the feast of carving up Carthage, the Numidians almost came here in full force!

With those old and young, how can they resist the tiger and wolf division of the Han army?

Therefore, Cicero looked at Mississauga and said loudly: "Take your army, and you must resist me no matter what, and buy me time to regroup the army, otherwise, we will all die here!"

Mississauga nodded heavily, and strode away with two bow-legged strides.

He wants to prove to the rumored invincible Han army that the Numidian cavalry is not easy to mess with!

....................................

Five miles away from the city of Carthage, there are endless hills.

And beyond the hills, there is an endless plain with the city of Carthage as the center.

Therefore, the Han cavalry is making final preparations.

Preparations before battle.

They unloaded the burden from the backs of the poor horses, quickly put on the cumbersome and heavy armor with the help of their companions, and put the pure white smocks on the horses.

This is used to prevent arrows and infantry swords from harming horses.

Use softness to overcome rigidity.

When the thick cotton smock flutters, the defense against arrows and sword slashing is even better than armor!
And in the middle of the cavalry, three large flags fluttered in the wind.

The black bird banner on the far left is the battle flag of the Black Sail Knights, and on the right is the Black Crow Knights headquartered in the Anman Governor's Mansion. Their battle flag is a black dragon with golden tail feathers. crow.

In the center is a large banner with black characters on a white background.

But it's not "Han" written on it, but the swastika flag.

The Buddhist swastika, not the swastika, the swastika.

The two are very similar, but they are like mirror images. After all, one is good, the other is evil, and the latter is crooked...

"No matter what you say, I refuse to shave my head!"

"Also, I will definitely report to His Majesty that you replaced the Han army's battle flag with the swastika flag!"

Rong Anguo, the head of the Black Crow Knights, shook his head vigorously, and clamped Mrs. Fan who was trying to shave him with scissor legs.

Rong Anguo's father was Liuqiu Hou Rongci. During Liu Bang's western expedition to destroy Qin, Rong Ci joined the Chu army in Xuejun as Lian Ao. After that, he entered Hanzhong and established the Three Qin Dynasty. He followed Liu Bang during the Chu-Han War, and the battle of Gaixia was established With military exploits, in the sixth year of the Han Dynasty, he was enshrined in the ranks and served thousands of households in the city.

Rong Ci was very familiar with Fan Kuai, and Fan and his wife naturally had a good relationship with Rong Anguo.

Therefore, although Rong Anguo held his head between his scissor legs and seemed to have no face, Fan Fan was not angry, but rather arrogant.

"You sue!"

"Let me tell you clearly, I am not called the swastika flag, but the cross flag. The four major knight orders will become the guardian army in the future, fighting to spread the gospel of your majesty!"

"So, you will have to shave your head sooner or later!"

Rong Anguo was completely stunned.

But in the distance, Dou Guangguo, who was also fighting with the army, rushed over one by one.

"What's the proper way to fight and fight?"

"I've endured all kinds of monsters you two have played along the way, and now that a big battle is imminent, why do you want to do this?"

After he finished yelling, he kicked Mrs. Fan's ass hard twice as if he was still puzzled.

After all, these are relatives and do not hold grudges.

Rong Anguo was immediately overwhelmed by this gesture of killing chickens and monkeys, cupped his fists and said, "Master, I'll go back and prepare now!"

Mrs. Fan said awkwardly, "I'm going too..."

But Dou Guangguo stopped him and asked, "Is what you just said true?"

Mrs. Fan nodded: "Of course. Otherwise, the emperor's cousin would be willing to let me come here to suffer? To tell you the truth, I just received a secret telegram from His Majesty yesterday, saying that he is going to let the new Buddhism merge with the Yin-Yang School, so as to increase the momentum! "

Dou Guangguo nodded slightly.

At this moment, a bold idea came to his mind.

But all this will be discussed after the war.

After all, there was loud hooves in the distance, and it was obvious that an extremely large number of cavalry was rushing towards them.

"Array!"

"Han army mighty!"
