I am the son of Cao thief, start the awakening of the tyrant system

A large group of Roman soldiers in the center holds a rectangular shield in one hand and a javelin in the other.

While maintaining a dense formation, they slowly moved forward.

This is a typical heavy infantry battle formation.

The Parthians, who are famous for their cavalry, would have a headache whenever they encountered a formation like the Romans, and they didn't know how to start.

However, such a formation like a turtle shell is almost like a piece of paper in Cao Mao's eyes.

"Zilong, prepare the artillery!"

Cao Mao ordered casually.

"Here!"

Zhao Yun waved his hand,
"The artillery unit is ready!"

Following his order, the infantry in the front row of the Chinese army quickly dispersed to both sides.

And the artillery unit in the rear quickly pushed out the chariot equipped with artillery!
The chariots were side by side, and the black cannons aimed at the Roman army formation hundreds of steps away!

A cruel smile flashed across Cao Mao's face,

"fire!"

The soldiers of the Dragon Army had already adjusted the artillery and quickly ignited the fuse.

"Bang bang bang..."

Countless artillery roared, and the huge roar gave people a feeling of heaven and earth falling apart!

The dense shells swayed with white smoke, and fell heavily on the Roman legion!
As the flowering bomb exploded, the lead bullet jumped continuously in the army formation, and the Romans suffered heavy casualties in an instant!

Dianian, who was watching the battle from behind, suddenly shrank his pupils.

What kind of weapon is this that is so powerful?
This is just like the legendary Zeus, the king of the gods, is angry!
"Bang bang bang..."

The cannonballs continued one after another without stopping for a moment.

Under the cover of round after round of artillery fire, the densely formed Romans were dealt a devastating blow!
But in the blink of an eye, tens of thousands of people died under the artillery fire!

This is the dimensionality reduction strike!
Cao Mao admired the battlefield in front of him, his eyes were cold and ruthless.

Although the Romans had strict military discipline, and Dianian had used the law of eleven shots a few days ago, but in the face of such terrifying artillery, all means were useless.

Seeing the tragic deaths of their companions one after another, the remaining Romans had no fighting spirit, they were defeated in an instant, and began to run away in all directions!

And Wei Yan, Deng Ai and others on the left and right wings were waiting for this opportunity!

They were cruising outside the bombardment range of the artillery, and were ruthlessly harvesting the scattered Romans!
Seeing this situation, Dianian, the commander of the Roman Legion, turned pale!
At this moment, he finally understood why the Eastern Allied Forces used such a weird formation!

It turned out that from the very beginning, they planned to use that terrifying weapon to carry out bombardment.

Wait until the Romans can no longer maintain their formation, and then harvest with cavalry!

But even if you understand it, what's the use?

At this time, the infantry of the Roman legion had completely collapsed, and the remaining cavalry was panicked and demoralized.

Dianian is powerless!

He took a deep breath and forced his brain to work.

In today's situation, it is impossible to win.

If he continued to stay here, he would either die in battle or be captured alive by the Easterners.

This is not the ending he wants.

I can only escape!

Dianian made up his mind, greeted the guards around him, and then rode on the horse, turned around and fled to the rear.

And as the commander-in-chief of the legion fled first, the Roman legion also declared a complete disintegration.

Under the pursuit of the Eastern Allied Forces, the Romans were like lambs waiting to be slaughtered, without any resistance, they could only run away with their lives!

……

This battle lasted from morning to noon, before the curtain came to an end.

One hundred thousand Romans suffered heavy casualties, and in the end there were only 3 left!
Dianian, who tried to escape, was finally captured alive by Yasis himself and brought before Cao Mao.

"Your Majesty, this fellow is the commander-in-chief of the Romans, Dianian!"

Yasis pulled Dianian to Cao Mao.

Cao Mao looked at the Roman commander in front of him, and said with a faint smile,

"Why don't you kneel down when you see me?"

After listening to Assis's translation, Dianian worked hard to raise his head, maintaining his dignity as a Roman nobleman,
"I am a Roman nobleman, how could I treat a barbarian like you..."

Before he finished speaking, Yasis became furious, slapped him on the face, then pressed his head forcibly, and kowtowed to Cao Mao!

"Your Majesty, such a bastard, why leave him, just cut him off!"

Assis' eyes gleamed fiercely.

Last year, the Romans attacked the Parthian Empire, and the tombs of the Parthian kings were opened up!
With such a deep hatred, if Cao Mao hadn't been there, Assis would have ripped open all the Romans he had caught to vent his hatred!

"Tell me, do you want to die?"

Cao Mao stared at Dianian in front of him.

Dianian's heart sank, but he still tried to calm down and said,
"Of course I don't want to die, but it's impossible for me to ask you bastards...well, to beg for mercy!"

"Even if I die, the empire will avenge me!"

Hearing this, Cao Mao couldn't help laughing, his face was full of mockery,

"Will the Empire avenge you?"

"Do you think Macrinus, who has just ascended the throne and is busy consolidating his power, will send troops for you?"

"Or is it that Caracalla, who is dead, can climb out of the grave to save you?"

As soon as this remark came out, Dianian's expression changed instantly!
He looked at Cao Mao in shock,

"You... how did you know?"

He himself only found out about such a confidential matter yesterday.

How did the Emperor of the Dragon Kingdom know about it?
Cao Mao was very satisfied with Dyanian's expression.

According to the course of history, after Caracalla was assassinated, after Macrinus ascended the throne of Roman emperor, he signed a series of peace treaties with the Parthians.

It's just that before his throne was secured, the Roman legions stationed in Syria supported Elagabalus as emperor.

Finally, a year later, Macrinus was defeated and killed, and Elagabalus became emperor of the empire.

"Now there are two paths before you."

Cao Mao said slowly,
"The first way is to die here with your soldiers, no one cares, no one worships."

Dianian certainly didn't want to die here.

His heart skipped a beat,
"And what about the second way?"

"The second way is to submit to me! Not only will I not kill you, but I will support you to become Augustus of the Roman Empire!"

Diani'an's heart shook, and his breathing became short of breath!

He never thought that Cao Mao would make such a condition!

The Roman Empire had a huge territory, a large population, and the emperor had great power!

If you can become the emperor, you can almost do whatever you want!
But becoming an emperor is not easy.

With Dianian's strength and prestige, it is almost impossible to ascend to the throne!
Before that, he had never thought about it.

But Cao Mao offered such a tempting condition, which suddenly aroused his ambition!
