v8 Chapter 144： Strike in Rome (16)

But the rescue forces in Rome quickly tasted the bitterness of the curved walls they built because they could not speed up.

The Dionyrian soldiers in the city saw this situation and urged the comrades in the city to speed up the city.

Kelkus, the captain of the Lightarms Brigade of the Sixth Army, came from the West Chamber. It was not a later immigrant, but a native of the West Clinton. He was an ordinary citizen of Xiliting more than a decade ago and participated in the Battle of Lamato. After the failure, he fortunately did not escape to the West Chamber, but fled to Crotone, survived in the South Italian War, became a Diaonian citizen, and became the most trained in the Sixth Army. One of the hard-working soldiers, and repeatedly fought in the war to conquer the Apulia region.

After being promoted to the captain of the captain, he wrote several times to the Ministry of Military Affairs and asked to transfer to the Eighth Army. The Ministry of Military Affairs had not agreed, that is, after the general who had a deep hatred for the Syracuse people went to Sicily. There will be clashes with the Syracuse.

This time, as the commander of the raid, he saw that the Romans were not worried from the two sides. He immediately ordered that the soldiers in the city sent two teams to form a dense formation and block the aisles at both ends of the wall.

The walkway in the city of Rome is not wide, so Great Scipio can successfully block the Diaonian soldiers who passed through the siege tower and up to the city. Now Kelkus also uses this method for the successor forces. Going to the city to fight for time, this is really a report and a report.

Even though more than a thousand people from the Light Armor Brigade and the Mountain Scouting Brigade are all coming up, Kelkus is not ready to attack from the wall. Because the walkway is narrow and long, it takes a long time to break the enemy. He has better. The choice, because in front of him there is a stone ladder down to the city.

It is because of the remoteness of the southeast corner that the Romans built a ramp up the city here to facilitate the soldiers to arrive quickly, but did not expect it to become an Achilles heel used by the enemy.

Marcus and Balbus quickly realized this problem, but the First Corps and the Sixth Corps were more aggressive during this time, apparently in order to cooperate with the sneak attack of this unit, so they had no troops to send.

Barbs had to send someone to ask for help from Grand Sippi.

At this time, the Roman soldiers who had been fighting for a long time and had been exhausted were encouraged to walk along the city wall, inspired by the belief of "defending their homeland", and they came to the southeast corner to kill.

But the Dionysians, who were arranged in a dense formation and had been refueling before and after, were like two megaliths blocking their way forward.

The other Dionian soldiers went to the city very quickly, not only because of the 30 rope hooks, but also because the soldiers brought more ropes. After going to the city, they got out of the body, **** the ropes, and tied them to the city. On or with the hand, hanging down to the city, once a hundred soldiers climbed the city, and soon the densely-hewned Dionysian soldiers crowded the southeast corner of the city.

Under the order of Kelkus, a group of 1,000 light armor and reconnaissance soldiers quickly stepped on the stone ladder and finally entered the city of Rome.

There are three offensive lines in front of them: the first one is along the northeastern city wall, sticking to the Querrillo Mountains, always north, or supporting the First Legion, or directly to the center of the Roman city - the Senate, but The road is long and narrow, and it is easy to be intercepted. The second road is to the northwest, passing through the road between the Querilino and Vimena mountains, and directly to the center of Rome, but the road is narrow and easy. Obstructed, and without knowing the city, the solitary depth is taboo; the third road is the choice of Kelkus, along the south wall, rapidly heading west, first assisting the Sixth Army to defeat the face-to-face guard military.

In fact, not far from the stone ladder is a gate to the city of Rome, the Quirrino Gate, but the entire city gate is filled with stones and mud. The walls of Rome are twisted and twisted, and there are many gates (at least ten). There are not enough soldiers in the city to defend. So the Roman Senate yesterday decided to mobilize the people to block all the gates of the city to avoid becoming enemies. Break through.

It takes a lot of time to clean it up and open the gates. Now the time is the most precious for the Dionysian army entering the city, so Kelkus did not stop and led the troops quickly. Travel west.

The light armor and reconnaissance soldiers who have always been in the auxiliary position in the war have rarely dominated this important battle. Everyone is very excited and full of strength. It took a long time to pass through the Vienne Gate. I was confronted with the old man and the woman and the woman to deliver the supplies to the city's defenders. The Dionian soldiers were like tigers entering the flock, and they easily knocked them down with a leather shield. The rest of the people fled in horror, throwing arrows, javelins, and oil. The cans were thrown all over the floor.

The defenders in the city saw this scene, and also shouted in horror: "The enemy! The enemy went into the city!!..."

There was a big commotion on the head of the city. The panicked soldiers could not fight with peace of mind. A few soldiers even dissuaded the team officers to leave their defense position and wanted to run down the city.

At this time, someone shouted: "The reinforcements are coming! The reinforcements are coming!!..."

The Great Scipio has sent 300 heavy infantry, which is what he is all about.

But this force is not enough to cause danger to the Dionysian army entering the city. Kelkus took the initiative to make the three companies quickly meet and attack the enemy's reinforcements; the other two companies from the sides of the Vienne Gate Go up the stone ladder and attack the city.

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

"...the enemy attacked the city! The enemy attacked the city!!..." The people responsible for transporting the goods panicked and ran back to the square, shouting screaming, causing confusion in the square.

The veterans in the square also changed their faces.

"Go and detain them all, don't let them shout, create chaos!" Maruji Nenesis immediately ordered the guards responsible for maintaining the order of the square.

Pottyus, who has always sang against the Taiwanese opera, did not stop it. He was in favor of using tough means in this crisis.

"Is it... the enemy is really... attacked?!" Ambustus trembled and asked everyone's common concerns.

"...Put a person over and ask in detail." Pottyus looked calm, but with a cane on his hand, he kept shaking slightly.

At this time, the messenger from the Great Scipio arrived in the square, and the cruel facts spit out in his mouth made the veterans feel panic.

"Isn't Big Scipio already sent the reinforcements?! These heroic citizens... must be able to kill all the enemies who have rushed into the city!" Plenius shouted, he wanted to disperse himself and his colleagues. The fear in the heart, but the tone seems so unconfident.

"If Big Sippi is sure to fight off the enemy, he will not send a messenger to tell us..." Maruji Neensis sighed. He and the big Scipio were from the same clan. He always tried to carry this. The people with great ability naturally know more about it: "And we have no extra soldiers..."

In fact, the veterans have been receiving reports of war reports from the city's defenders. They are very clear that the situation is very serious. The words of Maruji Neensis only shred the last bit of luck in their hearts. Let them fall into a terrible silence.

"Go to Capitoline!" Potitos had no panic on his face, and said with a firm tone: "Easy, as the Celtics invaded, the Dionyans might be able to occupy the city of Rome. It is impossible to capture our holy land! Compared with the previous time, this time the situation is more favorable, Camillaus is about to return to the army, and the number of troops is far more than a dozen years ago, and more training Well-known! The Diaonians will be driven out faster, and the victory will eventually belong to Rome!..."

The stable words of Portitos made the veterans less confused.

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

The Romans in the square got instructions from the elders, panicked back to their homes, hurriedly packed up their furniture, carried food, and prepared to evacuate on the Capitoline Hill.

When the people living near the embankment rushed back to the neighborhood, they saw a panic: the slabs used to cover the sewers on the street were picked up by a lot of pieces, revealing the black and smelly sewers, and on the streets, hundreds of people wore black leather. A, the soldiers holding the black shield and the short sword are facing them and facing the Tiber River...

"It's the enemy!! They came in!!..." The Romans shouted in horror, and even women fainted because they were too scared.

Lizaru heard the snoring behind him For these elderly women and children, he didn’t care, didn’t even look back, but pointed the short sword in front and shouted loudly with a loud voice. Shouted: "The warriors of the Mountain Brigade, it’s time to make great contributions, and follow me to kill the past!"

After that, he first rushed toward the bridge of the Roman vertebral bridge, and the soldiers followed.

They shouted at Hades's shouts and alerted the Roman soldiers who were struggling. The fierce attack of the First Brigade of the Dionysian Third Army had made them difficult to cope. After seeing many of them wearing the same black helmet and black armor. The soldiers rushed toward themselves, and the fighting spirit of the Roman reinforcements, which were mainly composed of slaves, immediately fell to the bottom. They completely ignored Cassius’s command to turn them to resist, and they fled in a flash.

Their escape also swayed the Roman soldiers who have been struggling to this day.

At the bridgehead, the Dionysian soldiers, who had been exhausted and attacked, heard the screams from Hades. The spirits were so strong that the numb arms seemed to re-inject the power and the offensive resumed fiercely. The momentum, this became the last straw to crush the camel.
