Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

Vol 8 Chapter 136: Strike in Rome (8)

"If our tens of thousands of young and middle-aged citizens are not transferred, the Diaonians will not be able to attack the city. We can do it in the field -" Plenius just said aloud, he was Marugin Nessis interrupted: "If things have already happened, don't mention them anymore. All our energy should now be placed on how to hold the city of Rome!"

Potttus applauded and nodded at him. Although he and Marugigi Nessis usually had disputes and differences because of power and interests, when Rome was in danger, the interests of the major clan They are all consistent.

"It’s all this time, don’t know if our reinforcements have arrived?” After the criticism of Maruji Neensis, Plenius’s conversion topic.

"Paulus, Meyers, Pantius, they can never sit and watch Rome in danger, but the same is true for Wei, I am afraid they have already fought with the Dionys, but we don't know." Bustus said affirmatively, his words gave a lot of veterans a reassurance, because everyone understands that with the current offensive of the Diaonians, the reinforcements are the key to their defense of the city of Rome!

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

The veterans in the square are worried about the safety of the Roman city. The Roman people are busy ambulance the injured soldiers, and the blood of the wounded gathers into a thin stream, flows into the drainage ditch, and then gathers along the drainage ditch into the wide sewer... ...

If the public officials responsible for managing the sewers at this time open the slabs, enter the sewers, step on the narrow walkways on both sides of the waterway, and follow the direction of sewage flow. Go to the upper part of the sewers and be the residential area behind the embankment on the north side of the Roman city. At the time, he would be surprised to find that there was a strong figure in front of him, and the sewer was full.

Two hundred soldiers of the Mountain Ridge Investigation Brigade worked hard for one night and finally all entered the Maxim sewer.

After the wrestling with the water of the Tiber River, cautiously climbing and squeezing into the iron grid in the sewage, even the excellent investigators who have been trained hard and selected for a long time are all exhausted, and some advanced players are While waiting for the people behind, sitting in the dark and damp, garbage all over the sewer, endured an unpleasant stench, actually fell asleep.

But as the commander of the stealth, Izam could not let them rest immediately. He made people wake them up and ordered them to take off the already wet lining, wring it out, and then clean the water. Trace to avoid catching cold.

For those who were bruised and bruised on the way, he and the last few soldiers who came in were carrying a parcel wrapped in several layers of fur, which contained clean linen and some prepared herbs. Wipe the wound clean and wrap it to prevent infection.

Then he also sent someone to disguise the iron grille that saw the opening, preventing the Roman soldiers on the embankment from inadvertently seeing the anomaly tomorrow.

In addition, he also arranged for the players to take turns, the task of the sentry is not to find the enemy, but to drive away the rats in the sewer, and maybe even snakes, to prevent them from biting the sleeping comrades, while some teammates fell asleep. When you make a loud noise, wake up in time. Although the sewer is covered with slate, it is not tightly sealed. There are still many large and small gaps, so you must always be careful to prevent it from being discovered.

The lives of two hundred people are on the shoulders, and there are still arduous combat tasks. Izam’s pressure is great, so in the following time, he has been thinking about things in his mind, and he has not been able to fall asleep until the day is bright. When he was unable to resist sleepiness...

I don't know how long it took, Izam was awakened, he opened his eyes in confusion, and was immediately stunned by a slate gap and a beam of sunlight focused on his face. He held his hand over his head and turned his head. To the surroundings, a pair of eyes with concern converge on him, this is the soldier he trained himself! There was a hint of warmth in Izam’s heart.

Still older, the body is not as good as it used to be! He sighed in his heart, struggling to pick up his body, let the players report in a very small voice, saying that the sound of the number passed from the side of the sewer, and from that side, the two hundred were not much.

“Is there anyone who is not feeling well?” Izam asked quietly and whispered.

Every team member said that he is very good.

Izam certainly knows that these people have water in their answers, but at least they show that the players did not have big injuries.

The face finally showed a smile, and he then asked: "What is the situation outside?"

The answer to him was the investigation team leader Cardurus. He came from Campania and would speak Latin. He struggled to push to Izam and screamed with his fingers. "The captain, the third legion. The attack has already started. They first bombarded with a cannon. As a result, the Romans retreated to us. Later, after listening to them panicking, they knew that our fleet had set up a pontoon on the Tiber River with a warship, and third. The soldiers of the Legion have already launched an attack on the embankment, and the Roman soldiers have rushed to defend in a hurry. It is probably over now..."

Cardululus looked indefinitely, other players had strokes five, and some made six gestures.

"...It’s been about an hour or so," he finally said.

Izam did not expect that during the period of his sleep, the siege warfare had already begun. If you think about it, you will feel scared, but fortunately, there is no best time to attack.

He was about to talk, the top of the cluttered footsteps, and the voices of the Romans. These sounds were magnified in the tunnel, repeated and resounding, causing the chest to be stuffy, and the stone wall constantly falling down the dust. The players immediately turned out to be like woodcarving clay, no longer making any sound, just looking at each other.

After a while, the sound on the top of the head disappeared completely, and the tunnel was quiet. The players took a long breath, even if the dirty air was stronger than the maddening voice.

"What did the Romans say?" Izam immediately asked Cardulus.

Kadululus was dusty, but he smiled silently. It looked very funny. He smiled and said quietly: "The captain, I just heard a Roman saying, 'I grew up with my master and took care of me. He used his daily routine as his writer... I didn't even kill a sheep or even a chicken. Now I want to kill me?!'

Another person is laughing at him, ‘Continue to cry, cute, when you face the enemy, don’t be afraid to pee. ’

Later, one of the team officials may be yelling at them, ‘Don’t talk, hurry to get to the vertebral bridge. If the enemy breaks through the blockade of the embankment, we will all become cattle and sheep that the enemy can kill at will! ‘...”

The players around him understood the meaning of the words, and all the eyes burst into excitement: "The captain, it seems that the third army's offensive is fierce, the enemy is almost unable to keep it, we should not out?!"

Izam has not spoken yet, and one of the players in front exclaimed: "Look at this water!"

Through a beam of sunlight that passes through the gap between the slate, it can be seen that the dirty black water with the black hair and the various scorpions is now gradually dyed red...

"Did our army have come in from other places?!" exclaimed the captain.

"Quiet!" Izzam made a squeaky gesture, and he had to make a choice in the face of the team's eager eyes.

He looked down at the bright red water in the waterway, and listened to the sound of the street above. After thinking for a while, he finally whispered: "No matter what the situation is, the task assigned to us is to assist the Third Army and the The three-fleet attacked the defense of the embankment and broke into the city of Rome. Now that the enemy's reinforcements have just passed, the streets above are still very quiet, and the third legion is still fighting, so we still need to wait!"

Seeing the players on the side were unwilling to talk, he immediately said: "However, since the Romans also sent slaves who could not fight, it shows that they have no extra troops, we only need to wait for a while. When these Roman reinforcements are put into battle, and there is no room to stop us, we will go out and storm their rear! But now we must first find a way out!"

"The captain, we have already found a way out in the early hours of the morning." Telendus lifted the short sword with a sheath and pointed to the top of his finger: "Just use a short sword to cross the stone between the slate, You can force the slate away and climb out."

"That's good~www.novelmtl.com~ Izzam believes in his judgment. He said in a deep voice: "We fill in the stomach first, wait for me to give orders, and start acting immediately! "He said, he opened the small bag at the waist and took out a dried beef strip."

The players also took out the dry food. The beef jerky that had been soaked in the river was weird, but the players chewed and ate very sweet.

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

In the middle of the South Wall, not far from the old square of Rome, the soldiers of both sides fought fiercely.

A ladder was pushed down by the city's defenders, and the Diaonian soldiers on the ladder fell to the city, but after a while, there were follow-up soldiers rushing from a distance with a new ladder, crossing the trench and arriving. Under the city, put it on the empty section of the city.

From time to time, the archery in front of the trench was ignited by the rocket, but this did not affect the Diaonian light infantry to continue to hide behind the burning flame, continue to fire arrows toward the city, their more accurate shooting against the city's defenders It is quite dangerous. If it is not heavy infantry fighting in front of the battlements, if you can't shoot the parts without armor covering, you can't cause more damage to it. I am afraid that the defenders have been unable to stop the Dionian soldiers from boarding the city. Head up.
