Under Brutu's worried gaze, a large number of young and strong men who were captured by the Han army first carried a large number of linen sandbags and rushed up with the rain of arrows on the top of the city, filling the few wooden trenches under the city wall.

These things are not comparable to moats, but they are still a pit after all. It is easier to get on the siege ladder after filling up!

Looking at the trenches under the city that were quickly filled, Brutu was only given a group of ragged Dalmatia young and strong civilians, without hurting the fur of the main force of the Han army, and couldn't help but feel even more desperate about the future.

In just one day, the trenches outside the strongest capital city in Dalmatia Province were filled!

The next morning, the white Han army soldier who had eaten, shouted slogans, and a stone bullet was shot into the city and the capital of Dalmatia Province!

The catapult's fire rate is not fast, but this smash takes a whole day!

Under Brutu's nose, the morale of tens of thousands of defenders was reduced again and again, and there was no way to reduce the decline...

That night, thousands of deserters disappeared, and thousands more were arrested...

At this time, the fool can see the pessimism in the city.

Brutu could clearly feel that the attitudes of those civilian Roman officials had begun to change.

After all, Xiao Yunyang had sent a messenger before. As long as he was willing to surrender, everyone's wealth and glory could still be retained. He could even arrange a marriage quota so that the women of their family of appropriate age could join the higher Han families and continue to be an official in the Dalmatia Province!

In the eyes of Roman officials, there is not much difference between being a Roman official and being an official in the Han Empire.

Although there will be an additional Han powerful class above the head of being an official in the Han Empire, the Han Empire is powerful enough!

In fact, if the four doors were not closed, even Brutu would have wanted to secretly join the Han Empire...

However, there are always a group of pedantic people in the Dalmatia Province who insist on burying the Roman Republic. The most important thing is that such a small group of people are still in high positions!

It is because of them that these current affairs people have to stand here.

On the third day, another day of big rocks hit hard. The defenders in the city seemed to be numb, hiding behind the city wall, shrank their arms, and no one wanted to show their heads.

The armed citizens and armed farmers who were originally fooled also truly witnessed the cruelty of the war.

Although they did not fight with the enemy face to face, they witnessed with their own eyes how tragic the meat sauce cakes hit by a big rock are...

If you want to keep a whole body on the battlefield, you have to rely on luck!

In this case, the Han army did not launch a general attack and was more heartbreaking than the general attack, because the Han army, which did not launch an attack, left enough room for fantasy for the Romans in the city.

Everyone was thinking that it would be so scary without an attack. Once the Han army attacked, would everyone still have a way out?

In the face of all kinds of strange thoughts, a rumor spread quickly - as long as everyone does not resist, the Han army will not start a massacre!

Obviously, this rumor is killing the heart!

It is conceivable that this kind of news spread during a period of sluggish military morale.

The most terrifying thing is that this news that should have been strictly eliminated spread quickly under the indulgence of the disheartened officer.

You should know that the officers at the lower level do not want to fight more than the senior level. They have no hope of victory. Will they die in vain if they continue to fight?

When the stones fell, the senior officials hid in a safe corner and drank and commanded. They were the lower-level officers who were praying in front of them to the goddess of fate!

On the fourth day, the stones arrived as promised, but this time, in addition to the stones, there were also a large number of arrows that were pleading for surrender.

Of course, with the Romans' literacy rate, ordinary big-headed soldiers could not understand the notes, but those who were officials could see it.

The above are not persuading the soldiers at the bottom to surrender, because Xiao Yunyang understands that the one who decides the major event can never be the one who decides the bottom, unless a mutiny occurs!

However, the Roman Republic started out in military affairs after all, and no matter how weak the control over the army is, it will not change.

If a mutiny occurs, it is only the officers above who take the lead that they can launch it.

This was Xiao Yunyang's first serious attack on a big city. He didn't want to fight hard, so he kept smashing it with stones.

After all, in ancient times, cold weapons attacked the city was too unfavorable for the siege.

Although Xiao Yunyang has 3,000 employed musketeers, he does not have artillery!

Cannons are the powerful weapon for siege!

Therefore, Xiao Yunyang chose to attack the heart first. If the people in the city were not tactful, Xiao Yunyang could only regard the capital of the Dalmatia province as a role model and completely slaughtered the whole world!

Xiao Yunyang had rich historical experience in his previous life. When Genghis Khan's descendants conquered such a large Mongolian empire, they not only rely on unparalleled field battles, but most importantly, the city-slaughtering tactics.

The stubborn resisters were slaughtered and set a very good example for the invaded objects later. When everyone resisted, they should think carefully about whether they could survive until the end.

When war becomes a game of failure, the mentality of resistance will inevitably weaken, especially when the strengths and weaknesses of the enemy and us are clearly distinguished.

Now the capital of Dalmatia Province faces the Han army outside, and even the strength is clearly distinguished. From the soldiers to the general Brutu, they are not sure of winning. In addition, the Roman Republic has just experienced a great defeat and has not recovered yet, so everyone's determination to resist is naturally not very good...

On the sixth day, a brief mutiny broke out in the Dalmatia province. Brutu and some Roman officials launched a military rebellion and killed several of the stubborn officials on the spot.

Subsequently, senior officials in the capital of Dalmatia Province sent envoys to discuss the issue of surrender with Xiao Yunyang outside the city.

It's surrender, not surrender!

The meanings of the two are different.

Although the capital of Dalmatia Province is currently in a weak position, it is not powerless to resist. Everyone is still waiting to continue to enjoy wealth and glory under the rule of the Han Empire.

For Xiao Yunyang, it is naturally a great thing to win a major provincial capital without bloodshed. All he has done is to promise some official positions.

The most important thing is the political significance of this surrender.

This is a capital city with tens of thousands of people guarding the surrender. It can be shown off to the Roman Republic as a textbook victory. From now on, the shame of the Roman Republic when surrendering can be at least 0.01...

No matter how you look at it, the political significance is still very high.

In this environment, the negotiations between the two sides went very smoothly. Brutu, who launched a military mutiny, was even more popular with Xiao Yunyang. Not only did he win a large fief in Dalmatia, he also directly obtained the title of general from the Han Empire, responsible for rectifying the surrendered troops in Dalmatia Province!
