"Six crossbows, a distance of a hundred steps, an arrow piercing through the heart. This is a godly shot that only Han Zhifei's General Li Guang has!”
On the city wall, Chang Yuchun, who witnessed this scene, exclaimed inwardly.
Although Li Xuanlie had led them to victory in every battle, he had rarely personally taken action. No one in the army knew the strength of their War God.
Today, Li Xuanlie's first demonstration of his archery skills was already shocking. How could Chang Yuchun and the thousands of soldiers not be amazed?
The remaining Roman soldiers were terrified when they saw their emperor fall from his horse.
The eyes that looked at Li Xuanlie were filled with fear.
Li Xuanlie's shocking arrow had crushed their last bit of will.
"That Easterner is not a devil. He is a god, the Eastern War God!”
"Caesar was shot to death by the Eastern War God. The Roman Empire is finished!”
"Merciful Eastern War God, please forgive our ignorance and blasphemy, and accept our surrender ~~"
Tens of thousands of Roman soldiers were subdued by Li Xuanlie's divine might. They threw away their weapons and lost the courage to fight again. They knelt on the ground in groups.
Li Xuanlie put away his bow and raised his halberd. He looked down at the Roman soldiers who were begging to surrender, but there was no mercy in his eyes.
"Your Highness, the Roman people have been scared out of their wits by Your Highness. How should we deal with them?”
Yue Fei, who was bathed in blood, urged his horse forward and asked.
"Kill them!"
Li Xuanlie's reply was simple and cold.
These Roman soldiers had chosen death the moment they chose to follow Caesar and become enemies with the Great Tang.
How could they face the soldiers of the Black Flag Army who had died in battle if they were spared?
" Only by killing can we make the surviving Roman people submit to us. Your Highness is indeed decisive in killing…"
Yue Fei nodded secretly.
He gladly accepted the order and shouted,"His Highness has ordered that no one be left alive. Kill!"”
The soldiers of the Black Flag Army, who had not yet exhausted their killing intent, were waiting for Li Xuanlie's order.
Raising their sabers once more, the Tang warriors once more lunged at the terrified and despairing enemy.
Wherever the blade passed, no one was left alive.
The iron hooves trampled over, turning them into corpses.
In the wilderness outside Rome, the screams of the Roman soldiers echoed. The blood in the air enveloped the fallen capital.
In the city, thousands of Roman civilians hiding in their houses were trembling with fear, immersed in endless fear.
They knew that the Roman Empire was finished.
For the first time in thousands of years, Rome fell under the iron hooves of the foreign races.
And those conquerors came from the distant east, at the end of the Silk Road, from that mysterious country called the Great Tang.
When the setting sun was as red as blood, the slaughter ended.
Li Xuanlie held the halberd in his hand as he walked through the city gates and stepped into Rome.
The main street was already stained with blood. The Black Flag Army that had entered the city first had killed all the stubborn Roman defenders.
Li Xuanlie stepped on the enemy's bones and went straight to the palace, arriving at the temple that symbolized the Roman faith.
rumble ~~
The God's Elephant was toppled to the ground by the Tang soldiers.
Li Xuanlie slowly ascended to the high level and stood on the broken wall of the God statue.
The eagle's eyes overlooked the entire city of Rome.
Countless captured Roman nobles knelt in front of the steps, terrified, waiting for the fate of the high and mighty Eastern War God to be decided.
Chang Yuchun stepped forward and cupped his hands." Your Highness, we have captured a total of 1,300 Roman officials and nobles. May Your Highness deal with them?"”
"Men, behead.
Women, slaves."
Li Xuanlie gave his verdict, his tone as cold as a blade.
At the foot of the steps, there was a wave of wailing.
The Tang soldiers swarmed up and dragged the wailing Roman nobles away mercilessly.
Li Xuanlie stood up and walked out of the temple to the square in front of the hall.
On the circular square, thousands of soldiers who had survived bloody battles were looking up at him with reverence and joy.
Looking at the soldiers who had followed him all the way from the Great Tang to Rome, Li Xuanlie was filled with emotions.
Taking a deep breath, he said loudly,"
"Warriors of the Great Tang, today, you are the heroes of the Great Tang, the heroes of our Han Clan, destined to go down in history.
Tonight, we shall drink and celebrate the fall of Rome!”
"Long live-"
"Long live-"
The soldiers who had survived the bloody battle were excited and their cheers shook the sky.
…
South of Rome.
Princess Ping Yang, Li Xiu Ning, was galloping on her horse.
Behind her were the five thousand female soldiers she had brought from the Tang Empire.
She had been ordered to come to the west and after three months, she finally arrived in Constantinople. However, she learned that Li Xuanlie had only led 30,000 troops across the Mediterranean Sea to attack Rome.
"The Roman Emperor has gathered a hundred thousand troops and is waiting for fatigue. It's too risky for Xuan Lie to go alone!”
Li Xiu Ning was worried. She immediately led the 5,000 women's army and rushed to Rome to help Li Xuanlie.
As they got closer and closer to Rome, Li Xiuning's mood became more and more perturbed.
30,000 against 100,000, the disparity in strength. Li Xiu Ning was afraid that Li Xuanlie would underestimate the enemy and cause an accident in this final battle.
"Xuan Lie, nothing must happen to you…"
Li Xiuning secretly prayed and whipped her horse a few times.
The scout in front of them rushed over and shouted excitedly,"Your Highness, King Reliance has defeated the enemy and captured Rome. He killed the Roman Emperor with one arrow and wiped out 100,000 Roman soldiers!”
Li Xiu Ning suddenly reined in her warhorse. The worry on her bright face instantly disappeared and was replaced by endless joy.
"Xuan Lie actually won!
He even killed the Roman Emperor and wiped out 100,000 enemies?”
Li Xiu Ning's bright eyes flickered, as if she couldn't believe her ears.
She knew Li Xuan and Lie Wu better than anyone else. After all, they had fought alongside each other against the Turks in the north and Chang 'an in the south.
Li Xiu Ning did not expect that after three years, Li Xuanlie's military ability had actually become so powerful.
"No wonder the Persians and the Romanians called him the Eastern War God…"
Li Xiu Ning suddenly understood and a proud smile appeared on her pretty face.
She rode her horse away, leaving the female army and sprinting towards Rome like the wind.
It had been three years, and she had never been so eager to see that young man again. She didn't want to wait any longer.
After passing through the blood-stained battlefield and stepping over the corpses of Rome, she arrived at the Roman palace and the temple square.
The familiar young man stood in front of the temple like a god, receiving the cheers of thousands of soldiers.
In an instant, Li Xiu Ning froze on the spot. She looked deeply at Li Xuanlie, her bright eyes flashing with deep affection.
Her eyes were sparkling.
"Xiu Ning!"
Li Xuanlie recognized the figure that was as beautiful as a rose among the thousands of soldiers.
A touch of tenderness lit up in his usually cold and calm eyes.
"San Lang ~~"
Li Xiu Ning was in a difficult position. Ignoring the presence of so many soldiers, she took a few steps up to the high level and threw herself into Li Xuanlie's arms.
In front of the temple, it was instantly silent.
All the soldiers were dumbfounded by Princess Ping Yang's unexpected scene.
