Although the Central Plains army treats civilians well, if someone does not know what to do and then occupies the area, they will also be severely punished, because there are not a few Romans who make trouble in the city and are beheaded.
The Central Plains are kind, but not without limits.
Knowing this, many Roman civilians chose to live well under the protection of the Central Plains army and not do things that hurt the Central Plains army.
For these people, the Central Plains army is welcome, because the more such people, the more they will promote the war.
Think about it, the Romans are all set on the Central Plains, how can Abdul still fight Appeasing the Roman civilians was only one of the means of the Central Plains army, and if you want to defeat Abdul, you still have to speak by strength.
Spend a few days consolidating order in the captured castle, and when order is established, the Central Plains army will attack the next target location.
Although the progress of this offensive method is slow, the rear is stable, and the overall progress is still very fast.
The military power of the Roman Empire is now concentrated in the hands of Addul and Diocletian, and it can be said that defeating these two men will be the end of Rome.
Dongfang Qiang is leading his troops towards Constantinople, preparing to start an all-out collision with the Roman army between East and West It's just that Abdul and Diocletian don't have the idea of going head-to-head with the Suzaku Army.
The two of them were waiting, waiting for the Roman fleet to capture the Red Sea, block the canal, block the Central Plains army home, and then use the advantage of resources to slowly consume the Central Plains army.
So now the style of play of Abdul and Diocletian is completely about space for time.
If the Central Plains army wants to capture the castle, then let them capture it, and the Roman army is still mainly to preserve its strength After all, when the time comes, they will counterattack, and they cannot lose too many soldiers at this stage.
The passive defense of Rome allowed the eastern power to march forward and attack all the way, except for leaving some troops to garrison the castle, there was nothing to lose.
When the Qilin Legion and the Vermilion Bird Legion were showing off their might on land, Gan Ning, who had not had a task for a long time, finally waited for Wu Shun's summons.
"Emperor Taishang, is it possible for the Jiaolong fleet to be dispatched" Gan Ning asked excitedly.
"Yes, the Roman navy appears in the Red Sea, you go and throw them all into the sea to feed the fish, and by the way, bring back the battleship No. 20."
Wu Shun said.
Originally, he sold a battleship to Abdul, who was willing to be a puppet, but now that Abdul has a new idea and is unwilling to be a puppet anymore, then that battleship should naturally be taken back.
From the Mediterranean to the Red Sea, not a day.
Compared to the Roman navy, it took half a month to detour.
When Ganning arrived at the Red Sea, he could wait for the Roman navy for a long time.
Inside the Red Sea Strait, the four warships of the Jiaolong fleet lined up horizontally, and the sixteen Puyuan naval guns were facing the outside of the strait.
A day later, the Roman navy arrived belatedly However, the Jiaolong fleet still showed twelve points of enthusiasm to welcome them Boom, boom, boom The guns of the Pu Yuan ship began to wield The cannonballs landed on the warship, sending sawdust flying, and many Roman naval soldiers were overturned by the huge rush and fell into the icy waters From the very beginning of the naval battle, the Roman navy was passively beaten, their bows and arrows had a pitiful short range, and the battleships purchased from the Central Plains could not launch a counterattack, because the Central Plains ship control personnel on the ship were unwilling to hit their own people, and how to return fire if the ship's guns could not be fired After a burst of shelling, when the smoke cleared, only a handful of Roman naval warships were able to float on the water Gan Ning ordered, and the cannon rang out again Once again, the shelling stopped, and the Roman navy had no ships left to float on the surface except for those who had escaped.
A long detour from the Mediterranean, and as soon as it entered the Red Sea, the Roman navy was wiped out Two warships were sent in pursuit of the Roman navy, and the remaining warships began to save people.
There were so many Roman sailors who fell into the water that Ganning sent people to rescue them, but unfortunately, many of them drowned because they could not wait for rescue The Roman navy was defeated in just a naval battle, and the difference in strength was too great, so it could only be this result.
The tragedy of the navy was transmitted back to Rome, and although Alpdul did not want to believe it, he could not help but feel the pain in the end.
The powerful navy he had cultivated with countless resources was lost in one battle, and it would not be easy for anyone to put it.
The navy was victorious, the morale of the Central Plains army was greatly boosted, the Qilin Legion and the Vermilion Bird Legion captured the important castles of Rome one after another, Rome wanted to avoid the war, and wanted to dilute the number of the Central Plains army with Rome's vast territory, but the eastern strong were not afraid of this dilution.
The men and horses of the army that were separated at the front to stabilize the order will go to the front line to support when the order is stable.
The administration of the occupied territories was still carried out by the Romans administering the Romans.
For those Romans who were willing to help the Central Plains army manage the castle, Dongfang Qiang gave good treatment.
Because these people have sacrificed their reputation, they deserve such treatment.
Even if some people call them traitors, traitors, or lackeys, there will be many Romans who can't survive and are willing to sacrifice their useless reputation.
The Army has gone all out.
As the strongest naval Jiaolong fleet in the Mediterranean, after the destruction of the Roman Navy, most of the forces returned to the Mediterranean, led by Gan Ning, circled the Mediterranean coast, and helped the Kirin Legion and the Suzaku Legion control the area near the Mediterranean Sea with invincible naval guns.
In front of Wu Shun, Abdul's strategic intentions had long been recognized, and the later time passed, the more unfavorable it was to Rome.
In the big war between Rome and the Central Plains, no third country dared to get involved, and no matter how Rome operated, the final result would be the same.
Unless their army can defeat the two legions of Kirin Suzaku head-on.
Now, these two legions are pushing back and forth in Roman territory with a dignified and horizontal momentum, almost fighting wherever they want, and the Roman army lacks even the slightest resistance.
The decisive battle was finally fought in Constantinople Dongfang Qiang led a large army to fight here, and Alpdul was already unavoidable, and if Constantinople fell, the Roman Empire would cease to exist.
Constantinople was the military, economic and cultural center of Rome, with a large population and a thriving thousand.
But this time was shrouded in the clouds of war, and the people inside did not know when the Central Plains army would attack, and they only hoped that when the Central Plains army attacked, they would not burn and loot.
No one thought that the Roman army would be able to hold the capital, and that was the saddest thing about it Dongfang Qiang was unwilling to destroy this ancient city with a strong historical atmosphere, so he gave Abdul a deadline for surrender, if Abdul did not surrender without leaving the city within three days, then the Central Plains army would launch an artillery bombardment of Constantinople on the fourth day:
