Destiny Only Han

At the foot of the mountain, the Roman legionnaires began to use fire to attack the Han army's fortress.

But he had no choice but to miscalculate the wind direction, so that they, together with the Han army knights, were surrounded by flames and thick smoke...

The sun gradually slanted to the west, shining a fiery red light on the thick smoke, but the temples and palaces on the top of the Palatine Hill were stained with golden light.

And to the west of the Palatine Hill, there is the towering Roman Colosseum!
Well, not the big arena.

After all, the Colosseum, which is said to be 'When there is a Colosseum, there will be Rome, when the Colosseum collapses, Rome will perish, and when Rome perishes, the world will perish' was built in 72 AD.

In that year, the Roman Emperor Vespasianus (Wespasian) quelled the Jewish uprising. In order to celebrate the victory of conquering Jerusalem, he forced [-] Jewish captives to spend eight years building this large arena that had been preserved for thousands of years.

But for today's Roman citizens, this arena is grand enough.

It is the privilege of these citizens to watch the gladiators sent from all over the world kill each other for glory!
Now, it's time for them, the privileged class, to sacrifice their lives for the 'mother' of Rome!
When the smoke rose from the foot of the mountain, tens of thousands of Roman citizens walked out of their homes, armed with weapons legally held or purchased from illegal channels, ready to be drafted into the army at any time and join the temporary legion to fight against the enemy.

And on the west bank of the Tiber River, the two guarded Roman legions also started rioting at the same time!
They were not active-duty legionnaires, but mobilized Roman citizens who had served in the army.

Although they are already old, or no longer join the legion for various reasons.

But they are not afraid of death, they are already ready to die!

Therefore, tens of thousands of them are willing to become 'bait', just to let the coalition forces relax their guard.

At this moment, the sound of killing was loud.

The Greek heavy infantry guarding the captives were caught off guard and fell to the ground, their weapons and armor were robbed, and they were beaten with bruised noses and swollen faces, spitting blood from their mouths.

Dou Guangguo turned his head and looked at Anthony, the representative of the Macedonian king with a livid face.

Today's Macedonian and Greek city-states are repaired, and the two sides are of the same species and soon entered the honeymoon period. Therefore, Anthony is not only the commander of the Macedonian pike infantry, but also the commander of the Greek heavy infantry.

As for Dou Guangguo staring at him, the reason is also very simple. Those Roman legions who surrendered before were able to survive under his suggestion.

It is not the benevolence of a woman, but the blindness of profit.

Although the vassal system was abolished in the territories ruled by the Han Kingdom, the Han Kingdom adhered to the principle of peaceful coexistence and did not interfere in the internal affairs of other countries. Therefore, Greece, Macedonia and other countries still drove and oppressed slaves.

Although the two Roman legions that surrendered were not full, there were at least [-] people!

This is a wealth that even the ruling classes of Greece and Macedon would be moved by!

Hence the present riots.

Facing Dou Guangguo's contemptuous eyes, Anthony's face turned livid.

He 'kindly' let these soldiers who pretended to surrender survive, but he didn't expect that the other party would not give him this face!

So, go to hell!
Anthony waved his hands with a dark face, and the Greek generals beside him who could not hold back for a long time suddenly smiled grinningly and walked towards their army.

Rebels, kill without mercy!

The Greeks were at odds with the Romans.

Among other things, the Roman gods are completely replicas of the 'Romanized' Greek gods!
Although the Greeks themselves slaughtered and blasphemed gods at every turn, and lacked fear and worship of gods, their own children could beat and scold them no matter how much they wanted. If outsiders humiliated them a little, they were challenging their bottom line!
And this kind of inferior imitation is undoubtedly a kind of blasphemy against the Greek gods!
As a result, the Greek heavy infantry, wearing muscle armor and fiery red cloaks, joined in the sequence of suppressing the riots.

Riots quickly turned into massacres.

Just like what the Romans did in Carthage, the Greek heavy infantry only left young people who could be sold as goods, and mercilessly took the lives of those worthless old people.

Regardless of whether there will be craftsmen such as leathersmiths, blacksmiths, and carpenters among them.

Or an existence like Archimedes!

Kill them all, leave no one behind!
Dou Guangguo withdrew his gaze, the so-called kindness does not command soldiers, although he is not a soldier as Mrs. Fan said, but this simple truth is still understandable.

What's more, in the past few years when he was the governor of Egypt, he had systematically cleaned up the old nobles and the "second ministers" of the Ptolemaic dynasty in the governor's mansion, and he had long cultivated a hard-hearted heart.

Therefore, he was just waiting for the military engineers to build the pontoon bridge so that the coalition infantry could reinforce the front line.

But the most important thing is the artillery.

The Knights are the only imperial army, other than the Royal Navy, that can legally own artillery overseas.

Although it is only a four-pound gun.

But it is enough to subvert the existence of the battlefield!
"Fool!"

Dou Guangguo scolded the group of Han army knights who rushed to the battlefield shouting fetters and friendship, and decided to personally command the soldiers ahead to build a bridge.

He is also an earthen dog...

Building bridges and roads is a piece of cake!
....................................

The Roman consul Spichio rushed down the hill behind a group of legionnaires with big waists, but stopped about 600 meters away from the smoke-filled Han army fortress.

Political show, cross it out.

Good morale, this distance is enough!
But at the same time, he finally discovered those unusual movements from the west.

As a Roman consul, although he has been on the battlefield, most of Rome's enemies today are mainly infantry or navy, and he has never had the experience of fighting large cavalry.

Especially those Han army knights with horse armor.

Naturally, he always thought that the loud noise coming from the west was the overflowing sound of the Tiber River breaking its embankment...

But listening to it now, it was clear that the sound was not a flood.

After all, this loud noise is getting closer and closer!

He could even clearly see the pebbles on the ground bouncing and bouncing rhythmically!
"what's the situation?"

Spicchio looked at the tribune Lucius Junius Brutus who was walking beside him and asked, "Do you know what that sound is?"

When Brutus was about to say something.

A series of low and melodious horns suddenly sounded in the distance.

Dudu!

The thunderous sound of the horn echoed among the seven hills, and even overwhelmed the shocking sound of killing at this moment.

Spizio hurriedly looked into the distance, only to see that the place he saw seemed to be much brighter than other places!
He frowned.

In the next second, his doubts disappeared.

There, there were countless more armored cavalry, those armors were shiny and decorated with bronze without hesitation, shining brightly in the sun, bright people couldn't open their eyes!

Proud, rushing forward!

Expensive is another aspect.

The important thing is that for a country like Rome, which cannot exceed the temperature of the flames by a thousand degrees, it is absolutely impossible to create such a ceiling-level armor in the cold weapon era!
But Spizio did not become the Roman consul by virtue of connections and bribes. He was able to obtain this position by relying on the bloody battle with the Gauls in the past 20 years!
Therefore, he drew conclusions from the first moment.

This battle is defeated.

The cavalry of the Han army in the distance is breaking through the defense line that the legionnaires hastily cast with their bodies at a speed visible to his naked eyes.

Wherever the cavalry of the Han army passed by, there were corpses everywhere!

Spizio looked at the coalition car barrier that had never been broken through, and sighed: "God, have you blessed Rome?"

After he finished speaking, he decisively ordered to retreat.

Although Rome is big and the city of Rome is behind him, he has no way to retreat!

But there are still hundreds of thousands of men, women and children in the city of Rome!

Even if only one-third of these people can fight, it is enough to guard important places such as temples and treasuries!

What's more, after gathering the Italian allies who came to reinforce him, the total number of Roman legions available for combat in his hands reached ten!
A whole ten legions!

This is his confidence!
More importantly, as soon as the coalition forces landed, he sent people to send a distress signal to other Roman towns, as well as Sicily and all Italian allied city-states!
In other words, there are at least ten legions on their way!

Therefore, as long as he can withstand the next attack, he can give those enemies who dare to attack Rome the end of Pyrrhus the Great!
..............................

"Come on!"

"Kill!"

Fan Kang roared loudly and launched a charge, not even noticing that the saber in his hand had been rolled.

It wasn't until they encountered the barricades that the Romans had hastily erected that Fan and his wife reined in their horses, and raised their long swords with unsatisfactory faces: "Tell your king, let him wash his ass and wait for me!"

Around him, the blood-stained Han army knights distanced themselves from him one after another.

"The taste of the head of the group is really strange!"

"As expected of the head of the group! It's so savage, I really like it..."

"Nan Tong received the taste!"

"Hi! I've heard people from my hometown say that women are forbidden in the Buddhist sect... Look what's going on with the head of the group!"

"Hey? I should have captured that Roman captain alive if I knew it earlier. He has a pretty face and a raised butt. Just looking at it will please the Grand Commander!"

……

Fan Kang had black lines on his face.

He just gave those Han army knights who were whispering around him a hard look, and then turned his horse's head around.

There, there is his brother Paze!
"Name?"

Although Zeng Qi was extremely tired, he still stood upright.

Behind him, even those Han army knights covered in blood were struggling to stand up.

This is the dignity of a soldier!
Zeng Qi looked up at Mrs. Fan, the sadness on his face disappeared in a flash, and he said loudly: "The second team of the Black Sail Knights, Zeng Qi, came to report! The second team has a total of 130 soldiers, [-] survived, and [-] died in battle..."

Fan Kang was stunned.

Among the gathered Han army knights, a sad and melodious singing sounded slowly.

It was a funeral song.

"Days of summer, nights of winter. After a hundred years, return to their residence..."

"Winter night, summer day. After a hundred years, return to his room..."
