"Be careful and don't make any noise!" In an alley, a Roman general whispered to his soldiers: "When you get close to the Ming army, then attack in large numbers."

All the soldiers did not speak, but nodded silently in cooperation.

This is not the only Roman army making a surprise attack. In fact, there are Roman troops on both sides of many streets in the northern city at this moment, relying on the walls and slowly advancing southward.

Raid——

This is the Roman army's only chance tonight.

They were very lucky. The moonlight was relatively dark tonight. At the same time, due to the shelter of the houses, and the Roman army chose smaller streets, they did not choose those wide streets.

However, at the northern end of several north and south streets, a large number of Roman troops have also gathered at this moment. They are the main force of the Roman army, but they are all waiting, waiting for the raiding troops to engage in fighting with the Ming army.

Because as long as the assault force comes into contact with the Ming army, it will be difficult for the Ming army’s rocket launchers and thunderbolts to operate quickly.

At this time, a large number of Roman troops in Beicheng District could take the opportunity to rush towards the Ming army, thus catching the Ming army by surprise.

The perfect plan.

In front of the military formation on the north side, Galienus was holding a makeshift walking stick. His leg was injured, but at this moment he still came to the formation, hoping to see the army defeat the damn Ming army in one fell swoop.<

/p>

In close combat, the Romans would not be afraid of any enemy.

On the central axis.

The soldiers of the Ming army who were responsible for firing rocket launchers and thunderbolts left people standing guard, chatting in twos and threes.

"If I had known earlier, I would have driven the Romans out this afternoon."

"Who says it's not?"

"If we had driven away the Romans, we wouldn't have to stand guard so hard at this time. We would be really sleepy in the middle of the night!"

Several soldiers complained in low voices.

In their opinion, it is enough to leave a small number of people on duty at night, and there is no need to keep so many people awake most of the night.

After a day of shelling, the Romans were already frightened.

Are the Romans coming to make a surprise attack on this fool?

Absolutely not.

Just as the soldiers were chatting and passing the long night, sharp arrows suddenly shot out, and dozens of people were shot to the ground in the blink of an eye.

"The Romans are coming!"

"The Romans are coming!"

In an instant, the soldiers responsible for firing rocket launchers and thunderbolts started shouting. The Ming troops resting nearby were quickly awakened by the shouts.

Dang, dang, dang, dang.

Then came the rapid sound of gongs, and instantly the entire Nancheng District was buzzing with people. Those soldiers who had just discussed that the Romans did not dare to make a sneak attack suddenly felt that His Majesty the King was really wise. He actually expected that the Romans would make a sneak attack.

It is also for this reason that all the soldiers of the Ming army slept in their clothes, and their weapons were in their hands. As long as they discovered the enemy's situation, they could immediately join the battle.

The north side of the central axis.

Seeing that the Ming army had been alarmed, more than ten small Roman troops did not think much and immediately rushed towards the three-bow bed crossbow in front. Their mission was to prevent the Ming army from firing.

As long as the Ming army is not allowed time to fire rocket launchers and thunderbolt cannons, a large number of Roman main forces will follow.

There are not many Ming troops on the central axis at this moment. There are about ten people around each bed crossbow, as well as more than ten soldiers who had been resting on the ground.

Kill——

In an instant, shouting to kill Zhentian, a small group of Roman troops rushed directly to the three-gong bed crossbow, while the Ming army surrounding the three-gong bed crossbow rushed towards the Roman soldiers with their swords.

Just when the small Roman army and the Ming army had just fought, Galienus, who was located on the north side, immediately shouted: "Attack!"

"Attack!"

As soon as Gallienus gave the order, the main Roman force, which had been prepared for a long time, rushed southward like a pouring tide.

...

City Lord's Mansion.

"Your Majesty!"

"Your Majesty!"

"Romans sneak attack!"

"Romans sneak attack!"

A guard shouted in a panic outside the door. There were two majesties living inside, one was His Majesty the Emperor of Han Dynasty, and the other was His Majesty the King of Ming Dynasty.

In fact, at this time, both His Majesties have not rested yet.

Because it’s still early.

"Father is wise!"

Liu Yan laughed and said with a smile: "The Romans really came for a sneak attack."

"Alas!" Liu Chan shook his head helplessly and said, "Gallienus is still too anxious. It's only midnight and he came over in a hurry."

"They should be later!" Liu Chan said: "At this time, many people in our army may have just fallen asleep, and some soldiers may not have fallen asleep yet."

This is indeed the case.

It's just now, if Liu Chan's schedule in his previous life was followed, it would be around twelve o'clock in the evening. How many young people are already asleep at twelve o'clock?

Although people in this era are accustomed to going to bed early.

But——

Don't forget that during the day today, the Ming army had just won a big victory, and it mainly relied on artillery fire, so the soldiers were not that tired. At this time, both the generals and the soldiers were very excited.

When people are excited, it is often difficult to fall asleep.

Moreover, not long after dark, Liu Yan had already issued an order to the entire army. Everyone had to sleep with their weapons in hand tonight, because there were still more than 100,000 Romans in the northern city.

Beware of Roman surprise attacks.

Of course——

There are Romans in the northern city, and the whole army knows about them.

Therefore, many Ming soldiers actually had trouble sleeping. They were also worried that the Romans would come and kill them. If they were blindly attacking, people would die.

"Go out and take a look!" Liu Chan stood up from his seat and walked out, while saying calmly: "Let's see how effective these Romans are in fighting?"

While talking, Liu Chan and Liu Yan, father and son, walked out of the room.

They live on the top floor of the City Lord's Palace, which is the third floor. Byzantine houses are all made of stones. The City Lord's Palace is the tallest building in Byzantium, and the rooms in the City Lord's Palace are higher than those of ordinary residents.

Standing on the balcony on the third floor, you can see far away.

At this moment, Liu Chan and his son were standing on the balcony on the north side, looking towards Beicheng District.

The City Lord's Mansion is located on the south side of the central axis, about two hundred steps away from the East-West Main Street, so this location is a good viewing platform.

However, in the middle of the night, the line of sight is not too far.

However, because the two armies were already fighting, torches were also lit in the Beicheng District. Liu Chan could see with his naked eye that a cavalry team was charging north from the Nancheng District, while a large number of Roman troops in the Beicheng District were rushing southward.<

/p>

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

The cavalry team was the Ming Army, and it was also the first Ming Army unit to cross the central axis. On the east and west main streets, the killing spree was going on at this moment. The whole street was full of people, including the Ming Army and the Roman Army.
p>

However, the number of the Roman army was obviously smaller than that of the Ming army. This should be a small sneak attack force dispatched by the Roman army, while the large force was attacking southward at the moment.

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

Each Ming army did not seem to be panicked because they were unprepared. Instead, each of them had high morale and was extremely brave. Facing a small group of Roman troops, they quickly drove these Romans out of the east-west axis.

"Launch!"

"Launch!"

"Launch quickly!"

Suddenly, a small colonel shouted loudly that the Roman army in their section had been cleared, so he immediately ordered his soldiers to fire cannons.

Rest, rest, rest, rest!

Bang, bang bang, bang bang bang.

More than a dozen three-bow crossbows suddenly fired. Rocket launchers and thunderbolt cannons immediately exploded in Beicheng District. Liu Chan and his son stood on the balcony on the third floor of the City Lord's Mansion. At this time, Beicheng District would see soaring flames and explosions from time to time.

The shouts that followed.
To be continued...
