I have three hundred soldiers, all of whom can warm wine and kill Hua Xiong

Constantinople.

Guard General Haimas stood by the window of the meeting hall, staring at the dark sea with bright eyes.

"Have the enemy troops across the sea reacted recently?"

After hearing what Hymas said, a Roman general stood up and said loudly: "The Syrians and Egyptians suffered a disastrous defeat before. The enemy has probably learned their lesson. They have been very quiet recently. I estimate that they will have to delay it for at least a few days. Years later, when the Phoenicians had more warships, they dared to continue their attack on Constantinople."

Soon, another general stood up.

"General, the Phoenicians raided our fleet and captured our warships. Now the Phoenicians can send at least five thousand people across the strait at a time. Now we have no naval support. For the enemy, Now is the best time to attack. So, I don’t think the enemy will leave us much time.”

Seamus fell silent.

After a while, Haimas turned to look at Flobus.

"Frobes, you have been to Asia before. What do you think of the enemy's morale?"

Without thinking, Florbus said to Hymas: "The morale of the enemy army is relatively strong. It can be seen that the Syrians and Egyptians are not willing to fail. In addition, under the leadership of Commodus, the Eastern Romans I’m also a little eager to try it.”

After hearing what Florbus said, Haimas's brows frowned even more instantly.

Seeing this scene, Florbus quickly took a step forward and whispered: "But I think we don't need to worry too much, the morale of our army is also very high. In addition, the walls of Constantinople are tall , and blocked by the strait. Unless the enemy can fly, they can never cross the strait."

Haimas is a very cautious person.

It is precisely because of Hymas's character that the Senate sent Hymas to Constantinople to take charge.

After a long silence, Haimas raised his head and said to everyone: "Egyptians, Syrians, Phoenicians, including Parthians and Kushans. In fact, they are not our opponents. Our real opponent is Chinese."

"Since fighting against the Chinese, I have spent a long time studying the Chinese. Finally, I came to the conclusion that hundreds of years ago, their army was more powerful than our current army."

"how can that be?"

Florbus shook his head heavily at Hymas and questioned Hymas's words.

Haimas turned his head and glanced at Florbus, and then said loudly: "Hundreds of years ago, on the land where the Chinese Empire was located, there was a powerful country named Da Qin. Da Qin was at war with another country. After winning, the pit Killed 400,000 enemy troops. Note, I said 400,000, not 40,000."

"In other words, our current Roman army combined is not enough to bury the opponent alive."

After hearing what Haimas said, everyone in the meeting hall could not stop talking in low voices.

"I say this because I want to tell you that you must not underestimate our enemies this time. Our enemies this time are real fighting nations. They understand war better than us and are better at winning wars than us. .”

Florbus opened his mouth and wanted to speak, but in the end he did not open his mouth.

"It is precisely because the enemy is strong and difficult to fight. So from now on, we must seize all time to prepare for war. Tell the soldiers to use all time to strengthen the city walls. At the same time, order the craftsmen in the city to continue to build catapults and crossbows. Inform the rear, use more supplies for us, and look for more reinforcements."

"In a word, if the gentlemen of the Senate still want to live peacefully in the city of Rome, they must increase their assistance to the city of Constantinople."

After hearing what Hymas said, Flobus felt a little uncomfortable.

In Flobus' view, Hymas was a little too careful.

Constantinople was now strong enough to hold off the enemy.

Haimas also reached out for help and soldiers. In Florbus' view, Haimas's move was entirely to increase the power in his hands.

Haimas picked up the water glass and took a sip of water. He was still about to speak, but he suddenly remembered a rapid sound of horns from the direction of the city wall.

Hearing the sound, Haimas quickly put down his water glass and walked to the window.

Looking out the window, Haimas quickly frowned.

At the same time, the messenger's voice also sounded from the side.

"General, the Phoenician fleet has dispatched and is heading straight for us."

"It's finally here."

Haimas muttered lowly, then turned around and shouted loudly behind him: "Julius is going to lead the troops out of the city and be responsible for destroying the enemy troops who landed. Gaius, you lead the troops to station on the city wall and be ready to stop the enemy." Get ready. Florbus, I also want to give you a task."

Frobus did not expect that Hymas would call his name, so Frobus was stunned for a moment before he came back to his senses.

"General Hymas, I wonder what tasks you need me to complete?"

"The generals under my command have already arranged their missions. So I need you to help lead a group of soldiers to go out of the city and use catapults to stop the enemy."

After hearing what Hymas said, Florbus frowned slightly.

There would be danger if one left the city, and to be honest Florbus did not want to leave Constantinople.

But when Heimas spoke, his hand had already moved to the hilt of the sword. Florbus had no choice but to nod to Heimas and said: "General Heimas, don't worry, give me the catapult. I will definitely command the catapult and put it to death." All the Phoenician ships were destroyed.”
