But the Roman rescue troops quickly tasted the pain of the curved wall they built because they could not speed up.

Seeing this, the soldiers of the Dionians in the city also urged their comrades under the city to speed up the city.

The captain of the Light Armored Brigade of the Sixth Legion, Kelkus, came from Cilitin. He was not a later immigrant, but a native of Cilitin. More than ten years ago, he was an ordinary citizen of Cilitin and participated in the Battle of Ramato. After his failure, he was lucky not to flee back to Cilitin, but to Crotone. He survived fortunately, and later became a citizen of Dionysians, and became one of the most hard-working soldiers in the Sixth Legion's barracks, and made many military achievements in the war to conquer the Apulia region.

After being promoted to captain, he wrote to the Ministry of Military Affairs several times, demanding to be transferred to the Eighth Corps. The Ministry of Military Affairs has not agreed, just because he is worried that this general who has a deep hatred for the Syracuses would have a conflict with the Syracuses after he went to Sicily.

This time, as the commander of the raid, he was not worried when he saw the Romans attacking from both sides. He immediately ordered: each of the soldiers on the city to send two teams to form a dense formation and block the aisles at both ends of the city wall.

The walkway on the city of Rome is not wide, so Scipio can successfully block the Dionian soldiers who go up to the top of the city through the siege tower. Now Kelcus also uses this method to buy time for the successor's uptown, which is really a reward for one return.

Even if more than a thousand people from the Light Armored Soldiers and the Mountain Reconnaissance Team came up, Kelkus was not ready to attack the city wall because the corridor was narrow and long, and it would take a long time to break the enemy. He had a better choice because there was a stone staircase in front of him that would go down into the city.

It is precisely because the southeast corner is remote that Romans built a ramp here to facilitate soldiers to reach quickly, but they did not expect that it would become a fatal weakness to be exploited by the enemy.

Margus and Balbus soon realized this problem, but the First Legion and the Sixth Legion were more urgent during this period, obviously in order to cooperate with the sneak attack of this army, so they had no soldiers to send.

Balbus had no choice but to send someone to ask for help from Scipio.

At this time, the Roman soldiers who had been fighting for a long time and were already exhausted, were inspired by the belief of "defending their homes", rushed along the city wall walkway and headed towards the southeast corner.

But the soldiers of the Dionian who had been raising their strength in a dense formation and had been raising their strength before blocking their way forward like two huge rocks.

The other Dionyan soldiers went up to the city very quickly, not only because of the 30 rope hooks, but also because the soldiers brought more ropes. After they went up to the city, they untied them from their bodies, knotted them into long ropes, tied them to battlements or held them with their hands, and hung them down to the city. Nearly a hundred soldiers climbed up to the city at one time, and soon the densely packed Dionyan soldiers squeezed the city head to the southeast corner full.

At Kelcus' order, a thousand light armored soldiers and reconnaissance soldiers quickly stepped down the stone stairs and finally entered the city of Rome.

There were three attack routes in front of them: the first was to follow the northeast wall, stick to the Quirirno Mountain, and go north, either support the First Legion, or directly hit the Senate, the center of the city of Rome, but the road was long and narrow, and easy to be blocked; the second was to advance northwest, cross the road between Quirirno Mountain and Vimina Mountain, and go straight to the center of Rome, but the road was also narrow and easy to be blocked, and without understanding the city, it was taboo to go deep alone; the third was Kelcus's choice, and he marched westward along the south wall, and first assist the Sixth Legion in defeating the defenders in front of him.

In fact, not far from the stone stairs is a gate of the Roman city - Quirirno Gate, but the entire gate is filled with stones and soil. The Roman walls are winding and there are many gates (at least ten). There are not enough soldiers in the city to defend themselves. Therefore, yesterday the Roman Senate made a decision to mobilize the people to block all gate holes to prevent them from becoming a breakthrough for the enemy.

It takes a lot of time to clear it up. Now time is the most precious for the army of Dionia entering the city, so Kelkus did not stop and led the troops to march west quickly.

The light armored soldiers and reconnaissance soldiers, who have always been in the auxiliary position in the war, rarely took the lead in this important battle. Everyone was very excited and full of strength. They passed by Vimina Gate soon after, and were about to run through the old man and the women and children to transport supplies to the defenders on the city. The soldiers of the Dionians entered a flock of sheep and easily knocked them down with their leather shields. The remaining people fled in horror, throwing arrows, javelins, and oil tanks all over the ground.

When the defenders on the city saw this scene, they also shouted in horror: "Enem! The enemy is coming into the city!..."

A huge commotion immediately appeared on the top of the city, and the panicked soldiers could no longer fight with peace of mind. A few soldiers even kept dissuading the team officials, leaving their defensive positions, and wanted to run down the city.

At this time, someone shouted: "Reinforcements are here! Reinforcements are here!..."

Scipio urgently sent 300 heavy infantry soldiers, which he had already had.

But this amount of troops was not enough to pose a danger to the Dionia army entering the city. Kylkus made a quick decision: let the three companies quickly approach the enemy reinforcements; the other two companies went up from the stone stairs on both sides of the Vimina Gate to attack the defenders on the city.

……………………………………

"...The enemy has attacked the city! The enemy has attacked the city!!" The people responsible for transporting the supplies ran back to the square in panic, shouting loudly, causing chaos in the square.

The elders in the square also changed their faces.

"Go and seize them all for me, don't let them shout and create chaos!" Marugine Encis was so angry that he immediately gave an order to the captain of the guard responsible for maintaining order in the square.

Portitus, who has always been singing on stage with him, did not stop him. He agreed to use tough measures in such a crisis.

"Did... the enemy really... attacked?!" Ambustus asked everyone's common concerns in a trembling voice.

"...Please someone come over and ask in detail." Portitus looked calm, but he was shaking slightly with a crutch.

At this time, the messenger sent by Scipio rushed to the square, and the cruel facts he spit out of his mouth made the elders panic.

"Hasn't Scipio sent reinforcements?! These heroic citizens... can definitely kill all the enemies who rushed into the city!" Prinius shouted loudly. He wanted to dispel the fear in his hearts and his colleagues, but his tone seemed so unconfident.

"If Scipio is sure to repel the enemy, he will not send a messenger to tell us..." Marugineensis sighed. He and Scipio are from the same clan. He has been working hard to support this excellent tribe member, so he naturally knows him better: "And we have no more soldiers..."

In fact, the elders had been receiving reports of war situations from the defenders on the city before. They knew very well that the situation was very serious. Marugine Encis's words only tear apart the last bit of luck left in their hearts, causing them to fall into a terrible silence.

"Go to Capitolin!" Portitus's face was no longer panic, and he said firmly: "Don't worry, just like when the Celtic invaded, the Dionians might be able to occupy the city of Rome, but they would never be able to capture our holy land! Compared with the last time, the situation this time was more favorable. Camillus was about to lead the army back, and the number of large troops this time was much higher than that of more than ten years ago, and he was more well-trained! The Dionians would be driven out faster, and victory would eventually belong to Rome!..."

Portitus's words stabilized the people made the elders no longer so panic.

…………………………………

The Roman people in the square received instructions from the elders and rushed back to their homes in panic, hurriedly packed their houses, carried their food, and prepared to escape urgently on Capitolin Mountain to take refuge.

When the people living near the embankment rushed back to the block, they saw a scene of horror: many stone slabs used to cover the sewers on the street were lifted up, revealing the black and smelly sewers. On the street, hundreds of soldiers wearing black leather armor, holding black shields and daggers were marching towards them with their backs, facing the Tiber River...

"It's the enemy!! They're here!!..." The Roman people screamed in horror, and some women even fainted because they were too scared.

Lizalu heard the noise behind him. He didn't care about these old men, women and children at all, and did not even look back. Instead, he pointed the short sword in his hand forward and shouted loudly in an excited voice: "The warriors of the Mountain Brigade, it's time to make great contributions, follow me to kill him!"

After saying that, he was the first to rush towards the bridgehead of the Roman Bridge, with the soldiers following closely behind.

Their shouts of Hades alarmed the Roman soldiers who were in a tough battle. The fierce attack of the first battalion of the Third Legion of Dionia had made it difficult for them to deal with. Seeing many soldiers wearing black helmets behind them, black armored soldiers rushed towards them with great momentum. The fighting spirit in the hearts of these Roman reinforcements, mainly composed of slaves, immediately fell to the bottom. They completely ignored Cassius's orders to turn around and resist, and instantly fled.

Their escape also caused the fighting spirit of the Roman soldiers who have been fighting hard to this day to shake.
