Three Kingdoms Eschatology

The guards at the two corners of each city wall can move to the middle, that is, the soldiers on the left and right sides can take care of the middle.It takes a lot of time for the soldiers in the middle to move to the left and then run back to the right.Therefore, the four corners have become the seemingly weak defenses.

In one corner, three or four Celts were already climbing the top of the wall, but there was only one Roman soldier behind the wall.No sooner had a Celtic spearman exposed his head and the tip of his spear from the crenel than he saw the Roman guard glaring at him.

Then the Roman soldiers stabbed at him with their short swords against the edge of the wall. The Celtic spearmen also wanted to strike first, but their spears were long-handled weapons and could not be deployed, so they had to lower their bodies. Shen, trying to dodge the blow.But he was still a step too late, and was stabbed into the brain from the eye socket by a sword, killing him on the spot.

But before the Roman soldier had time to withdraw his sword, he was hit on the head by a sharp ax flying towards him with the sound of whistling wind.With a crisp metal sound, his bronze helmet was broken open by the sharp axe, and the crack was curled up. Naturally, his skull was also shattered, and he also died on the spot.

It turned out that three other Celts had climbed the wall from a corner of the wall.Just as they were about to rush down the corridor towards the defenders fighting in the middle of the city wall, one of them fell to the ground without saying a word.The two Celts next to him were taken aback. After a closer look, they found that a "short spear" had penetrated the body of the fallen man.In fact, this is not a short spear, but a crossbow shot by a beam soldier hidden on the second floor of the tower at the corner of the city with a single ballista.

The two Celts quickly realized that one was shooting Conza with a spear in his hand, and the other was holding a broadsword and striding towards the door opened by the tower on the corridor at the top of the wall.The spearman had just sent the blade of the gun into the shooting hole, but another crossbow flew out of the hole, shooting him to the ground in the chest.And the Celtic man wielding a broadsword had already stepped into the gate of the tower with one foot, and the beam soldier inside hurriedly dropped the crossbow to pull out the dagger at his waist.

But he must be too late, the space in the tower is narrow, and the Celtics can cut him twice as long as they rush through the gate.At this critical moment, a heavy arrow whizzed in and hit the Celtic in the head, causing the latter to fall straight to the ground like a log.

This arrow was shot by Dian Qing who was on the third floor of the tower in the opposite corner of the city.Dian Qing reached out to the quiver again, only to find that there was only the last heavy arrow left in the quiver.Although he had another full quiver with about thirty arrows, it still reminded him of something.

This matter should have been thought of before the battle, but because the enemy came in such a hurry, Liang Jun's generals, including Feng Yu, ignored it.This matter is the arrows that Liang Jun brought. The crossbow spears are not enough to support such a large-scale war for five hours.

Dian Qing bowed his bow and set his arrows again, and shouted loudly: "Everyone, use arrows and crossbow guns sparingly. It is best to shoot when the enemy is close, so that the arrows can be recovered. If the enemy is at the edge of the wall, it is better Kill them directly with spears and swords.”

His words also reminded Feng Yu that he came up with an idea in a hurry, "walked" along the city wall himself, and shouted to Liang Bing who was using the individual ballista: "Everyone retreat to the four corners, put the tower on one side. The door is closed, and only the other door is guarded. Wait until the barbarians are close to the tower before shooting, so that their bodies will fall on the wall, and we can recover the guns and reuse them.”

Then, he shouted to the Roman soldiers: "Tell your men to go down to the castle. If these barbarians can't break through our defense line, they may jump into the castle and open the gate in a hurry!"

The head of the Roman soldier pulled out the dagger from the chest of a Celtic corpse, and replied vaguely to Feng Yu in Latin: "No problem."

Then he yelled at the Roman guards again.Feng Yu was still not proficient in Latin at this time, and he couldn't understand what he was saying, but he guessed that he should give the order according to what he said.

The defenders on the top of the city immediately retreated to the corner of the city, and seven or eight Roman soldiers also retreated into the castle.The line of defense suddenly loosened.

The battle at the top of the city was fierce before, and the two sides were in a stalemate, and the Celtics still had a slight advantage by virtue of their numbers.With this loosening, the Celtics pushed their noses even harder. Those who hadn't climbed the city wall worked hard to climb towards the city wall, while those who climbed up brandished sharp axes, spears, and broadswords and rushed towards the four corners.

To enter the city from the corridor of the city wall, one must either jump directly from the city wall nearly two battles high, or go down the stairs in the tower to the bottom of the city.

The two battles are not high, but it is easy to sprain or fall if you jump directly, not to mention that there are some defenders guarding under the wall, and they will not hesitate to stab them in the neck.So these Celtics still chose to seize the tower first.

At this time, the Roman defenders at the head of the city used four or five shields to form a shield wall, which was sealed at the stairway on the back side of the tower, and behind them were Liang army infantry holding individual ballistas.There are also other Roman soldiers holding javelins.

The Celtic spearmen successively threw out weapons that were both spears and javelins.The ridiculous thing is that they all have only one spear in their hands, and after throwing it, they can only use the short dagger pinned to their waists.

Those Liang soldiers and Roman soldiers holding shields behind the shield wall saw the opponent's javelins attacking and hurriedly raised their shields to cover them. With the sound of thumping, some of these javelins pierced the shield wall in front, and caused several Romans to attack. The soldier's arm was wounded.

Those Liang Army infantry immediately fought back against the Celts with their crossbows. They stood up and pulled the hanging knives together. Seven or eight crossbows roared out, and immediately fell to the Celts rushing along the corridor of the city wall. down a row...

Chapter 986

At the head of Linzburg, the fighting between the two sides has reached a fierce stage, and the soldiers on both sides are red-eyed.Because the corpses of the Celts would fall on the top of the city, Liang Jun no longer cared about the consumption of arrows and crossbows at this time.In addition, the number of Liang Jun is limited, and each city corner can only guard seven or eight people.They can only shoot wildly to suppress the Celtics' crowd impact.

I saw these Liang Jun infantry pulling the lever of the crossbow gun as fast as possible, and then fired a row of crossbow guns.A small number of Roman javeliners among them also cast their limited javelins at the right time.Dian Qing and the other three longbowmen on the tower were not idle, and continued to shoot the Celtics who were rushing towards the tower with heavy arrows.

The Celtic chief Taylor, who was watching the battle below the city, first saw more and more Celtics gathered on the wall, thinking that he was about to win.But then it was discovered that these tribal fighters just couldn't advance to the corner of the city, and there were more and more Celtic corpses near the four shield walls of the defender.

On a certain city wall, a barbarian centurion was wearing two layers of chain mail and a wrought iron pointed helmet, holding an ax in his left hand and a broadsword in his right.A crossbow spear went straight to his face, but he blocked it with an ax and flew away.Then he took advantage of the situation and threw the sharp ax out.

Just at this moment, the Roman soldier was about to stand up and throw his javelin.But with a sound of Peng, the sharp ax hit the soldier's chest in the middle.The chain mail on the soldier's chest was immediately torn a big hole, and even the ring armor underneath was also cut a big slit.The sharp point of the ax even pierced the skirt of the Roman soldier's head, scratched his skin, and blood gushed out immediately.

Fortunately, the soldier's head was covered with two layers of armor, which only caused skin trauma, otherwise the ax would have to be ripped open.But the huge force still made the Roman soldier's viscera overwhelmed, and he almost fell down.

The Celtic centurion rushed in front of him, holding a broad sword in both hands and slashing down.With this sword strike, even if the soldier's head is wearing two layers of armor, it will be cut into two sections.The head of the Roman soldier who was still here reacted nimbly, and sent the javelin in his hand into the barbarian centurion's chest with all his strength.The latter suddenly collapsed like a pile of cotton.

At the same time, another Celt had pierced the head of the Roman soldier with a spear, the point of which was less than two feet from his temple.There was no time for the Roman soldier to dodge, and he subconsciously closed his eyes, just waiting for his own life to end.Unexpectedly, after a while, he realized what happened, and quickly took advantage of the situation to squat down again.Only then did he see that the barbarian spearman had a heavy arrow stuck in his head, needless to say it was the masterpiece of a certain longbowman on the tower.

Seeing that they could not easily rush into the city from the stairway, some Celts simply jumped directly into the city.As long as the city gate can be opened, more Celts will flood into the city and attack upwards along the stairway. Under the attack from both sides, the defenders will definitely collapse immediately.However, several Roman soldiers under the city had already made preparations. Some of these people who jumped from the heights of the two battles fell to the ground because of instability.Some sprained their feet directly, and some even broke their legs and couldn't stand up. Their result is naturally a dead word.

Taylor, who was watching the battle outside the city, had a splayed eyebrow gradually knit together.He originally planned to use the crowd tactics to defeat the defenders in one fell swoop, and he was naturally prepared to pay the price of losses, but he never expected that the opponent would resist so tenaciously with a group of less than a hundred people, and his own losses would far exceed his. expected in my heart.

Finally, Taylor could no longer bear the continuous casualties and ordered the troops to withdraw.With the sound of the Celtic horns, the Celtics at the head of the city receded like a tide.

In fact, if Taylor could persist for another quarter of an hour, Liang Jun's spears and Roman soldiers' javelins would be exhausted, and they could only be swallowed by the turbulent crowd of Celts.

A withdrawn barbarian leader said to Taylor angrily: "Chief Taylor, what, are we going to retreat like this and let these rats go?"

Taylor said with a livid face: "Of course not. But if we continue to attack like this, our losses will be too great. I just want to change the method."

He pondered for a while, then looked at the city wall of Linzburg and said: "Rats... yes, to deal with rats, you can burn their caves with fire, force them out and then kill them! Pass my military order, and everyone should look for and collect dead animals. sticks of dry grass, and pile them up at the foot of the wall, and set them on fire. Even if it doesn't burn down the wall, the smoke will choke them out."

The leader who talked to him said again: "But, didn't you say that the enemy's reinforcements could arrive within ten hours? Now four hours have passed, and there are six hours left. We may not have time..."

Tyler interrupted him and said, "If only one wall is burned, it will be enough. Let's burn the side that is downwind, so that the wind can blow the fire and the smoke to the enemy's side. Stop talking nonsense, and do it."

The Celtics immediately acted according to Taylor's orders, chopping firewood and mowing grass.At the same time, the defenders also began to clean up the Celtic corpses on the wall, throwing these corpses down the city one by one.They said they were cleaning up the corpses, but the actual purpose was to secretly recover arrows and crossbows from the corpses.

Time passed bit by bit, and three hours later, the dead branches and dry grass collected by the Celts were bundled into bundles and piled up as high as a small hill.

The Celtic horn sounded again.This time the cavalry was the main force. They carried bundles of branches and hay and galloped towards Linzburg on horseback.Throw the firewood at the foot of the wall.

Of course, they were still attacked by arrows and crossbow guns from the top of the city.However, Liang Jun was still using these arrows and crossbow guns sparingly, so this kind of attack, shooting two or three Celtic knights sparsely, only served as a psychological deterrent.

An hour later, the firewood was moved to the foot of the city and piled up.Then the Celtic cavalry lit torches one after another, rode their horses to the front and back of the city wall, and threw the torches into the pyre.

At the top of the city, Feng Yu eagerly asked the Roman soldiers: "Do you have anything to put out the fire?"

Bingtou spread his hands and said, "There is only one well in the castle, but drawing water will definitely not save the fire."

The fire quickly rose, and billowing smoke also blew into the castle.The choking soldiers on the wall only shed tears and coughed continuously.Feng Yu said: "Quick! Soak the cloth with water and cover your nose and mouth to avoid inhaling the smoke. Also, don't stand in the wind."

Everyone immediately followed his instructions, and it really had some effect.However, this does not help to extinguish the fire at the foot of the city. A city wall made of wood and stone will burn down sooner or later...

Chapter 987 Crisis Moments

Taylor saw that under the pressure of raging fire and thick smoke, the defenders at the top of the wall of Linz Castle disappeared in a short while, so he laughed triumphantly, and then sent an order: "Everyone is here Gather together, we will rush in when the city wall burns down!"

After more than an hour, the huge burning logs collapsed one by one, and finally only a stone base two or three feet high remained.Taylor waved his hand forward and said, "Kill!",

The Celts who had already gathered around him swarmed towards Linz Castle again. This time, the barbarian warriors in front of them were no longer carrying ladders, but water bags made of whole animal skins.

Because the burned walls of Linzburg were still burning, the Celtics who fought before the battle needed to put out the fire first.They poured streams of water dragons on the ruins, and the cold water made a sizzling sound when it met the fire and a lot of water vapor rose.The scene was almost invisible under the cover of fog.

These Celts finally poured out a road twenty or thirty paces wide, covered in clouds and mist, in the sea of ​​flames.Behind them, the Celtics were already rushing in amidst the mountains and tsunami.

A Celtic man carrying a water bag just poured out the water when he felt a heavy push, and only then did he feel severe pain from his abdomen.A heavy arrow flew from nowhere and pierced his belly.Then, countless footboards rushed past him, and the Celtics behind stepped on his body and rushed into the city with their sight blocked.

But these Celts who were rushing towards Linz Castle were also shot indiscriminately by Liang Jun's crossbow guns.They threw javelins forward indiscriminately, and threw axes as counterattacks, but to no avail.Because Liang Jun did not block the front of the gap, but spread out, and just fired the crossbow spears into the "path" of the sea of ​​fire that was twenty or thirty steps wide.The Celtics screamed and fell down one after another.

It seemed that the defenders had the upper hand in the battle, but Feng Yu's heart was already burning with anxiety.Because if this continues, Liang Jun's guns will be exhausted sooner or later.If Liang Jun and the tall and powerful Celtic barbarians fought hand-to-hand, they could draw with each other, but the number of Celtics is still at least ten times that of the defenders.Once they fight hand-to-hand, Liang Jun and the Roman defenders in Linzburg will soon be defeated.Moreover, except for the road that was poured out by the Celtics, the fire in the rest of the area is getting smaller and smaller.At that time, even if Liang Jun's arrows and crossbows were still sufficient, they could not stop the Celtics' sweeping momentum.

Some Celts finally broke through the fog barrier several battles wide, and rushed towards the Liang army or Roman defenders they found.Liang Jun's infantry began to give up intercepting the gap, but shot the Celts who were the first to break out of the fog at close range.

A Liang soldier shot down another Celtic. Just as he was struggling to quickly push the lever to fire the crossbow, another Celtic had already rushed to less than two feet away from him, with a wide hand in his hand. The sword passed across his neck in an instant, and a head flew into the air.As more and more Celts poured into the castle, the Roman army and the Liang army gradually couldn't hold on.The head of the Roman soldier was also impaled by a Celtic spear.

Feng Yu looked around and found that there was only the last line of defense available now, and that was the fort in the middle of Linz Castle. The fort was originally used not only for the accommodation of the defenders, but also as the last line of defense when the city was broken.Feng Yu then shouted loudly in two languages: "Quick, retreat to the castle!"

In fact, the remaining Roman soldiers began to retreat to the fortress in the city without waiting for orders.Dian Qing kept bending his bow and shooting arrows to cover everyone's retreat into the fortress.After everyone had retreated, he was the last one to retreat.

But a Celtic came diagonally and stopped in front of him.At this time Dian Qing only had a longbow and a heavy arrow in his hands, without thinking about it, he held the heavy arrow in his right hand and stabbed fiercely at the opponent's head, and the opponent's sharp ax also slashed down in the air.When the ax blade was two feet away from Dian Qing's forehead, the Celtic fell limp like a puppet with its strings broken.

However, the sharp edge of the sharp axe's blade still barely scratched Dian Qing's forehead, and immediately drew a two-inch long gash.When Dian Qing, whose face was covered in blood, rushed into the castle, Feng Yu was startled, and quickly asked, "Dian Qing, is your injury serious?" Dian Qing shook his head and said, "It's okay, it's just a skin injury. This made Feng Yu feel relieved, and hurriedly called someone to treat and bandage his wound.

Now, almost all the Celts in Linz Castle are filled with black masses, like a group of ants surrounding a steamed bun that fell on the ground.Now they began to storm the last fortress again. Some people found thick logs and banged on the gate of the fortress.

The gate of the fort is much thinner than the gate of the castle, and such an impact cannot last long.Some Celts also moved the short ladders they built before, and put them on the wall of the fort, trying to break into the building from windows, balconies and other places.

Liang Jun's infantry and longbowmen hid at the highest points imaginable, such as the terraces, windows, and balconies of the fort, and shot the Celts at close range.But their arrows were quickly exhausted, and they could only use their spear guns to stab the climbing Celts.

A Roman soldier was standing on the balcony and stabbed his javelin down. A Celtic man who was climbing on a ladder at his feet fell to the ground screaming, but when he was about to close his gun, he felt The javelin became extremely heavy, and dragged his entire body outward.Before he could let go of the gun, he was dragged down the stairs by a big Celtic over seven feet tall with a javelin, and then stabbed to death by the Celtic.

With a click, the gate of the fort has been knocked open. If there is no accident, the gate will be knocked open in a few minutes.Although the Celts who climbed the fort had not yet succeeded, they killed several defenders who blocked them.

Beads of sweat the size of soybeans oozed from Feng Yu's forehead.Since he established the main beam, he has never encountered such a critical moment.He suddenly said loudly to Dianqing: "This time we came out with more than a dozen specially-made new weapons. If we don't use them now, when will we wait?"

Seven or eight balls one size smaller than a fist were thrown towards the lower part of the fort, with sparks still faintly shining on them.Before the Celtics had time to be curious, they heard continuous thunderclaps.Then 30 people were either dead or injured and fell into a pool of blood.Then another wave was thrown down the city, continuing to make that shocking explosion.

The Celts who rushed into the castle were stunned for a while, and then suddenly rushed to escape outside the castle.

Chapter 988 The Scary Thunderbolt

The Celts poured out of Linzburg along the same road as if they had opened the floodgates.In fact, their casualties were not large, there were more than [-] casualties before and after, and more injuries than deaths.But that kind of unheard of explosion can make people lose their souls, and this is the reason why they fled.

The new weapon used by Feng Yu and others is called Thunderbolt.In fact, it is the primary application of black powder.The outer shell is made of thick pottery, and many grooves are deliberately carved on the outer layer so that the pottery can shatter more finely when it explodes.Naturally, the pots were also filled with black powder and iron filings.The reason why Feng Yu doesn't use cast iron to make it is because the cast iron can only be split into a few large pieces after being exploded. In this case, it may not even be able to kill a person, but it can be used to scare people.This thunderbolt was specially made by Feng Yu for this trip, so that it can be used in critical moments, but he did not expect to use it so soon and run out.

Those Celts thought that when they encountered Thor in their Norse mythology, they would not dare to attack Linzburg again for the time being.Feng Yu knew in his heart that the crisis had not yet been resolved, as long as they regained their composure and summoned up their courage, they would be able to wipe out Feng Yu and the others in Linzburg, as well as the Romans.

Feng Yu calculated the time, and now ten hours have passed, and the reinforcements should arrive as quickly as possible.But this is only an ideal state. If the Roman officer who made the decision didn't take it seriously or was delayed, or if he didn't bring enough soldiers and horses, or something went wrong on the road, it would be impossible to arrive at this time.Feng Yu can only hope that those Celtics will be scared and dare not attack again, and it is best to retreat in spite of difficulties.

However, Feng Yu's hope was finally shattered.Although Celtic chief Taylor was stunned by the thunderbolt at first, he didn't recover for a long time.But then he guessed that this should be some kind of secret weapon of the enemy army, and it has nothing to do with their Thor.Under his shouting and yelling, the Celts finally got rid of their fear and assembled again, preparing to attack Linzburg three times.

Feng Yu, who was standing on the top terrace of the castle building, saw this scene, feeling extremely desperate.At this moment, a ride was galloped on the mountain road in the distance.One look at his attire and you can tell he is a Celtic cavalryman.He yelled at Taylor and others from a distance.Although Feng Yu couldn't understand what the barbarians said, he could guess a little bit, and hope was rekindled in his heart.

Then, Feng Yu saw Taylor whip the Celtic detective with a horsewhip, cursing in his mouth.It may be blamed on Tan Ma for reporting the news in plain language and leaking the secret.Then Taylor babbled to the Celtics gathered around him, and the Celtics hurriedly retreated along the same road.They didn't even have time to clean up the body.

Sure enough, a quarter of an hour later, a mighty army of thousands of people came from the mountain road.Simmons was among the Roman Army Vienna Legion that temporarily retreated to the south of the mountain.Only then did Feng Yu let out a long sigh of relief, and his heart, which had been hanging for nearly ten hours, finally let go.

The head of the Vienna Legion was named Perez. He saw the smoke rising, and he didn't know whether it was the checkpoint on the mountain pass or some other place that was attacked.Assuming the worst, he assumed that the eastern pass of the Alps was attacked by the Celts.Because of the importance of this mountain pass, it cannot be lost.So he personally led thousands of people to rescue.Although the entire legion has more than 2000 troops, the troops are all stationed separately. There are only less than [-] troops in the battalion, and these [-] troops are the largest troops he can mobilize in a short period of time.

He didn't know until he got to the mountain pass that the source of the wolf smoke was in Linzburg, and there was no enemy attacking the mountain pass yet.So he wanted to stay in the mountain pass to observe the enemy's situation first, and only sent a detachment of less than 200 people to check the situation.

Fortunately, Simmons had already arrived at the pass at this time, and he used the letterhead and eagle badge of the Roman soldiers in Linzburg to prove his identity and explain the reality. Only then did Perez lead the troops to continue to come, and the crisis was resolved .

At this time, Perez learned that the Roman soldier died in the battle, and his heart ached.This soldier is actually a distant relative of his, who has only been in the army for less than half a year.According to his seniority, he generally needs to endure for three years before he is eligible to be promoted to be a centurion.Even if Perez is the head of the legion, this is no exception.When he was promoted to a centurion and completed the transformation from a soldier to an officer, Perez had a way to make him rise to the top.

But if he can make great military achievements, he will be able to complete this most important step in a short period of time.And if you have been in charge of the defense of a certain stronghold for one year, as long as there is no accident, it is military merit, and it is also the easiest military merit to obtain.Therefore, under Perez's operation, he came to Linzburg to stand alone, but unexpectedly died at the hands of the Celtics.

Under the consolation of everyone, Perez was sad for a while and then returned to normal. After all, this soldier is just a distant relative of Perez's wife's family.It was only at this time that Perez noticed the tragedy of the battlefield, and he saw the ruins inside and outside Linzburg, full of corpses in disorder.Of course, most of them were the corpses of Celtic savages, and many of them were so charred that it was impossible to distinguish friend from foe.

Perez asked Feng Yu in surprise: "You really only came here with dozens of people? How could you kill so many Celtics?"

Feng Yu said modestly: "General, this is not just the credit of dozens of us. The [-] Roman soldiers in Linzburg also contributed, of course including your relative who died heroically."

Perez did not refute Feng Yu's words, but he knew in his heart that if only his relatives and dozens of Roman soldiers under him could not lose the castle under the onslaught of hundreds of Celtic infantry, he could still kill him. That's impossible with so many enemy soldiers.

Perez said in a low voice: "Cut off all the corpses of the Celts, and report to His Majesty Alexander and the Senate."

His Romans acted immediately, wielding sharp daggers, cutting off Celtic heads one after another, and strung them together.Finally, an accurate number was obtained, and there were 480 two.

Perez continued to say to Feng Yu: "The castle here has been damaged. In order to prevent the Celts from gathering more people to make a comeback, we can't stay here for too long. Let's leave here quickly and go back to the south of the Alps. .”

Two quarters of an hour later, the army marched mightily towards the Alps.In order to prevent it from being used by the Celts, Linzburg was also deliberately set on fire by the Roman army and burned blazingly.

When Feng Yu climbed to the pass, he felt chills all over his body in late summer, and only then did he realize that there was already snow here.And there are hundreds of heights away from the peak.In other words, there is no comparison between the Alps and the Qinling Daba Mountains and Nanling Mountains, which are isolated from the Central Plains. Its target should be the snow-covered plateau.

Chapter 989 Trouble

After Perez sent Feng Yu and others to the barracks at the southwestern foot of the Alps, he said to Feng Yu: "Going forward, you will be out of our defense zone, so we can only send you here. It is the hinterland of the Roman Empire, there will be no more danger, you can move forward with confidence."

After Feng Yu thanked Perez again and said goodbye, he continued to march towards Rome with his own people.He was not in a hurry, but walked around on the road, learning about all aspects of the Roman Empire from bottom to top.It took another two weeks before they arrived at the city of Rome.

From a distance, they saw the tall city walls of the city of Rome. Needless to say, Simmons even Dian Qing sighed: "I didn't expect that although the city of Rome seems to have a small population, its grandeur is comparable to that of our middle-earth city." Chang'an, when the population was most prosperous in the former Han Dynasty, is comparable to Luoyang."

They talked and chatted, and they arrived at the city of Rome in a short while.I found a long queue in front of the city gate.Simmons asked suspiciously: "Didn't their civil strife subside long ago? Why are they still so tense, and they even have to set up checkpoints when entering and leaving the capital?"

Feng Yu smiled slightly and said: "It's just that their superficial crisis has been resolved. In fact, this Roman country has been beaten many times, but the surface looks good, but countless cracks and damages have appeared inside. As long as the final If they encounter any blows, they will be disintegrated in a matter of time, unless there is someone who can turn the tide."

At this time Dian Qing said: "My lord, there are so many people queuing here, don't we have the eagle gold medal? Just go up to the soldiers who want to defend the card and let them be flexible."

Feng Yu shook his head and said, "No! I'm not a special person here, and everything follows the rules. There is a saying in Rome that rules are rules. We also have to do as the Romans do."

Simmons rolled his eyes and said: "What rules are rules? Along the way, many Roman soldiers and generals asked for bribes and money." Feng Yu smiled lightly, but said nothing.

When it was time to wait for Feng Yu, Feng Yu did not take out the flying eagle gold medal, but took out the official document.The Roman soldier in charge of inspection muttered while watching: "What kind of country is this Liang country?"

Obviously this is a newcomer, with little information and little knowledge.In fact, since Feng Yu took over Sasanian, those Persian merchants who entered and exited Rome began to use the new official documents issued by Liang Guotai Xifeng court.

The little Roman official on the side explained: "Hey, I don't know about this. Liang Guo is the former Sasanian, and it was called Anxi before. Anyway, it is the country of these Persians..."

Speaking of this, he just noticed the distinctive oriental faces of Feng Yu and others, and said in surprise: "Huh? These Liang people look different from the Persians we usually see."

In fact, this little official also had little knowledge, he didn't know that Feng Yu and others were authentic Liang people.At this time, the soldier who checked the official document said, "That's not right, the document says that the government only approved this man named Feng Hu, but you have so many people here?"

Hearing what he said, the official also took the document written in Latin from him and looked it up carefully.Feng Yu has already explained: "Feng Hu mentioned in this document is the next one. Your Roman government only approved me alone, but I also have to bring some servants and bodyguards. Otherwise, a man of worth like me , Isn’t this journey full of dangers.”

The official looked at Feng Yu's luxurious satin robe and said, "That's understandable. But rules are rules. Foreign bodyguards also need official approval to enter Rome. I don't know how you passed this checkpoint. You should have invited Bodyguards in Rome. Slaves are personal belongings. You can bring them into the country without special permission. Ummm…”

Speaking of the official's eyeballs rolling, the topic changed: "Then how many of these people are your slaves, and how many are your bodyguards."

Hearing this, Feng Yu immediately opened his eyes with haha ​​and said nonsense: "Actually, my bodyguard is only one person, this is Simmons. He is a Roman from the province of Thrace. The rest are My house slave."

He thought to himself, so even if Simmons reveals his secrets, at most Simmons will not be able to enter the city alone. At that time, let him squat in a corner somewhere and wait for orders.

Unexpectedly, the Roman official just played tricks and didn't finish his sentence.At this time, he sneered and said: "Although slaves are personal belongings, like other commodities, slaves also have a quantity limit. If they exceed the quantity limit, even if they are not sold as commodities, but for their own use, they must be declared at customs. According to the highest security According to the regulations issued by the civil officials last year, each foreigner can only bring up to ten people for his own use, not as slaves for commodities. Now you have at least more than 20 people, sorry, we can only confiscate them.”

Feng Yu became anxious when he heard this, and thought, do you still want to confiscate the soldiers under my command as slaves and sell them to traffickers?With a sullen tone, he said: "It's unreasonable. You Roman rules, we outsiders naturally have to follow the customs when we go to the country. But I have never heard of such rules in my journey. Could it be that you want to use the public to seek personal gain? "
