Gaia was asked again, feeling helpless.
There is nothing he can do.
At this stage, the 60,000-strong army has been dispersed. Although there is no statistics on the returning army, it is estimated that there are only two to three thousand people. A full 60,000 troops went out to fight, but only two or three thousand came back. No one could bear such a huge loss.
Gaia took a deep breath and replied: "Reporting to the Pope, we have no more choices at the moment, there is only one way."
Sepuus asked: "What way?"
Gaia said: "Wait!"
brush!
The expression on Sepuus's face suddenly fell. Gaia's words are like sitting and waiting to die.
Sepuus said: "Is it so difficult?"
"have!"
Gaia answered without hesitation. He quickly said: "Our army was defeated and suffered heavy losses. Now at least our army has no chance of winning. We can only defend Constantinople and wait for the other armies. horse."
"If other troops from the east, south, and other parties come to join the battle and defeat Lu Xuan's army, we may have a chance. The problem is, it may be difficult for us to lose."
"At this stage, we are just waiting for the news of the victory of various troops. If these people fail, then we will wait further for the news that we and the American Federation army have defeated the Ming Dynasty. Lu Xuan will naturally evacuate by then."
"That's the only option left now."
Gaia solemnly said: "His Majesty the Pope, we must go all out. Otherwise, the situation of Anxi will fall on us. I heard that Surella of Anxi Zoroastrianism is completely Lu Xuan's puppet. Surella Under Lu Xuan's arrangement, countless people were killed. Once you are controlled by Lu Xuan, your reputation will be ruined. "
Sepuus nodded, agreeing with Gaia's analysis in his heart.
A person who would rather leave his life to him on the battlefield is trustworthy to Sepuus.
Sepuus ordered: "Then switch from offense to defense, and we will defend with all our strength."
"As you command!"
Gaia also arranged quickly.
When Gaia was adjusting the strategy of Constantinople City, the army led by Guan Yu, Huang Zhong and others rushed outside the city. After surrendering countless Roman soldiers, they also came to shout for a while, but it had no effect, so they simply Station outside the city and arrange for someone to notify Lu Xuan to come to the front line.
Lu Xuan got the news and came from behind. When he arrived outside Constantinople, he saw countless Roman soldiers who had been detained together.
These prisoners have been counted.
Guan Yu reported: "Your Majesty, the number of Roman soldiers we have captured so far exceeds 30,000, which is a very large number of prisoners. However, many of them escaped and we killed more than 10,000 of them."
Lu Xuan said: "This battle completely defeated Sepuus, and his troops are very few, right?"
"yes!"
Guan Yu answered quickly.
Lu Xuan looked at Constantinople and said, "Have you ever attacked?"
"not yet!"
Guan Yu shook his head.
Constantinople was the imperial capital of Rome. It had undergone countless reinforcements and was very strong and towering. Even if you want to attack, it won't be easy to capture. If you attack Constantinople directly without any preparation, you will definitely not be able to win it.
Lu Xuan nodded, he rode forward, came to the outside of the city, looked up towards Constantinople, and said loudly: "Sepuus!"
Sepuus's cheeks twitched.
Lu Xuan is here.
Previously, he led the army to provoke Lu Xuan's camp. Now, it was Lu Xuan who led the army outside his city, and they were already approaching the city.
Sepuus said loudly: "Lu Xuan, let me tell you, if you want to attack Constantinople, there is no way. People from all over the territory of Rome are coming towards Constantinople with their armies. We must completely destroy your army. Once the army gathers, not only will your retreat be cut off, but you will also be defeated."
Lu Xuan sneered.
Sepuus is so confident.
Pity!
Such self-confidence is just self-righteous self-confidence.
Lu Xuan said in a deep voice: "Sepuus, if you lead people to attack my camp this time and win. The news spreads and the armies across Rome are inspired, maybe you can win."
"Now, everything is impossible. With your defeat and the news spreading, the Roman troops in these places are panicked. Everyone is panicked and afraid of being killed. How can they win?"
"If the military is confused and morale is gone, there is only one way to lose."
"You will be defeated!"
"Rome must perish."
Lu Xuan's eyes were sharp, his voice became louder, and he said: "Now, I give you one last chance. Immediately open the gates of Constantinople and surrender. If I don't kill you, I will still let you serve as the Pope of Christianity. If you resist, Kill without mercy."
When Sepuus heard what the translator said, he couldn't help but swallow his saliva. He felt a little flustered and didn't know what to do for a while.
Lu Xuan's words are likely to become true.
If he wins, then the Ming army will not pose a threat.
Unfortunately, he failed.
At this moment, Sepuus felt even more regretful in his heart. If he had known it, he would still be guarding Constantinople, not seeking merit but seeking no fault. However, now that I have gone to attack for a while, I have trapped myself in it and caused myself great trouble.
It's not worth it.
Sepuus was panicked, but it was impossible to give in because the news from various places had not yet come. If the army that came to encircle and suppress Lu Xuan was victorious, the situation would be different.
Sepuus took a deep breath, calmed his mind, and said loudly: "Lu Xuan, just with your mouth, you want to make me surrender. Do you think too highly of yourself? Remember, I am The Pope of Rome, the one who protects Constantinople, cannot open the city gates or surrender.”
"If you have the ability, come and attack."
"Constantinople is impregnable and will be able to block all your attacks."
Sepuus said: "Constantinople is here, the emperor is here, you come."
Lu Xuan was a little surprised.
Unexpectedly, Sepuus was so tough.
"Report!"
At this moment, a soldier quickly ran from the rear, quickly came to Lu Xuan's side, and reported: "Your Majesty, General Zhang Liao is reporting urgently that he has defeated the Roman army that came to the rescue and killed the opponent's commander. We defeated the opponent's army. Currently, the results are being counted."
"good!"
Lu Xuan cheered loudly.
Zhang Liao and Gao Shun achieved victory along the way.
That's a good thing.
"Report!"
Another sentry came from behind and came to Lu Xuan's side and said: "Your Majesty, General Xiahou Dun urgently reported that he defeated the Roman army. Currently, all the prisoners have been escorted and are on their way to Constantinople. .”
Lu Xuan was so happy that he couldn't help laughing and said loudly: "Sepuus, your last hope has been completely shattered."
