The Journey of the Infinite Wizard
Chapter 688: The Fiasco of Rome
Standing at the bow of the flagship, Tiberius recalled the orders given to him by the great Augustus when he arrived, and his heart surged with passion. During his military career, he served as the commander of the legions and solved many problems in the East.
He also fought against the barbarians in Gaul, Pannonia and other places outside the mountains, and won victory in all of them.
For this reason, he even had the honor of a small triumph.
Although his military performance is not outstanding compared to the great commanders in past history, if he can successfully conquer an ancient dynasty with a history of thousands of years this time, then this will undoubtedly be his future success.
A highlight of his political career. Although this ancient dynasty was small, neither Hannibal, Alexander, Seleucid, nor Ptolemy had ever conquered it. Under the obstruction of this island country with a small population,
Fallen into the sand.
Now, this important task falls on his shoulders. Once he can successfully complete the conquest and add a province to Rome, it will mean that he, Tiberius, is better than the great conquerors in past history.
.Because, he accomplished what they hated even to death and failed to accomplish. When he thought of this, Tiberius's heart was filled with fire, and his heart was ignited by blazing ambition. Until then, he was in the front
A fleet was spotted on the horizon, with ancient flags flying above it.
He pulled out the sword from his waist, pointed it forward, and roared loudly, "For Rome!"
"For Rome!"
"For Rome!"
When the soldiers on his flagship shouted loudly in response to his call, other ships also heard shouts one after another, until the continuous shouts became one and shook the world.
"General, they have fewer ships than us. At present, it seems that we are undoubtedly in an advantageous position just counting the enemy's and ours' ships." His adjutant said beside him, his eyes fixed on the sea in front of him.
A fleet.
"No, Aelius." Tiberius shook his head slightly and said: "Don't underestimate them, they have thousands of years of history. In the past history, Ramesses wanted to conquer it, and successively conquered it.
Many dynasties wanted to conquer it, Hannibal also wanted to conquer it, Alexander
Commanders and emperors such as David and others, who are famous throughout the ages, have all thought of conquering it and adding a shining gem to their crowns. However, they all failed. Faced with this mysterious ancient dynasty,
, we should try our best and we must not take it lightly."
Elius smiled and said, "But no matter what, this ancient land will once again add a shining gem to Rome. Rome has successively conquered many powerful enemies, tribes and lands, and the entire Mediterranean has been conquered.
The land of Rome is surrounded. No matter how much this ancient dynasty resists, failure is certain."
"That's right!" Tiberius said proudly, "No one can resist the conquest from Rome!" After saying that, pointing the sword in his hand, the herald on the ship immediately waved the flag in his hand, and the huge Roman fleet immediately changed
The slave sailors at the bottom rowed the oars faster, and the huge fleet began to slowly accelerate. The weapons on the ship immediately entered the firing state, and the war would officially start at the moment they officially entered the range.
At the same time, the soldiers from the ancient country did not have the slightest fear in the face of the menacing and powerful enemy. Their eyes were calm and mixed with anger. Everyone wore sophisticated armor and weapons, and the red tassels on their helmets greeted them.
The sea breeze swayed, the war drums beat, and the atmosphere of chilling and tension filled the air. Every soldier grasped the weapon in his hand. They were tall and strong.
, with black hair, brown eyes, yellowish skin, tightly pursed lips, and sharp eyes like a goshawk, looking directly at the approaching Roman fleet. After the orders were passed, they raised their shields uniformly,
The sound of bows and arrows being bent, crossbows being cocked, and battle swords being unsheathed was heard. Then, the war cry sounded, the formation of the fleet began to change, and the fleet began to accelerate.
Time passed minute by minute, but for the two sides who were about to fight, this time was so long. Finally, when the two sides approached each other's shooting range, their respective war cries sounded, followed by bursts of dense fire.
The arrows of rain are fired towards each other
.The leading flagships of both sides accelerated and rushed into the opponent's formation. Arrows and crossbows were continuously thrown at the opponent's body, accompanied by screams and scarlet blood flowing on the blue sea.
, suddenly created a 'Red Sea'.
As the war intensified, the two sides suddenly fell into a melee, and what followed was a gang-hopping battle. Soldiers from both sides tried their best to hook the other side's ship, and then jumped along the deck onto the other side's ship. They fought fiercely hand-to-hand.
Beginning, on the small and crowded deck, a dense and crowded battle formation was formed, with shields holding up pairs of cards, and swords fighting through the gaps in the shields.
Life stabbed into the opponent's body. As the number of dead people fell to the ground increased, the small deck became empty, and the real fight with swords and guns began. Roman soldiers who had experienced hundreds of battles formed battle formations in twos and threes to resist
, and the soldiers of Tuthem were no less impressive. With their tall and strong bodies and sophisticated equipment, they fought with the invaders in frightening battles and contests.
The war lasted from day to night, and the blue Mediterranean Sea had long been soaked with the corpses and blood of soldiers from both sides, and was scrambled by many carnivorous animals. Then the retreat horn sounded, and the broken Roman fleet sailed away from the fighting sea, leaving in embarrassment.
Escape. They failed, even with the superiority of ships and numbers.
Under the circumstances, it suffered a defeat. The fleet caught in the melee was divided and outflanked by Tuthem's army, and each was defeated, causing chaos in the command system of the Roman fleet. The local monarch from Tuthem personally charged into the battle.
Next, Tiberius, the future second emperor of the Roman Empire, was beheaded by him.
That mighty blue armor, no matter how much Tiberius slashed with his sword, could not damage the owner of the armor. In the end, Tiberius was chopped off by a monarch who was even more skilled in martial arts than him.
Head. As the fire devoured Tiberius's flagship, the Roman soldiers who had been fighting hard for so long collapsed.
When the retreat horn sounded, the Roman fleet caught in the melee scrambled to escape the battlefield. The Tuthhemite fleet, with high morale, tried its best to intercept and block the attack. This battle was Rome's first
conquer, complete
Defeated. The coach Tiberius, the future Roman Emperor, died on the battlefield. More than 30,000 soldiers died in the battle, more than 10,000 people were killed, more than 5,000 people were captured, and thousands more were missing. In the end,
Less than 7,000 soldiers returned to Rome safely.
This tragic defeat shocked the whole of Rome and added a heavy stain to the history of Roman conquest! The army of the Tuthem Dynasty returned to their own land amidst cheers.
