The Eagle of Eastern Europe

"Let the soldiers in front be careful, and pay attention to cover the artillery fire of each team!" Peter said to the messenger, and the messenger hurriedly ran out. After a while, the infantry in front retreated slightly, temporarily distancing themselves from the defenders on the city. The Romanian army's artillery continued to suppress the defenders at the top of the city. In addition, the main artillery fire from the New Army artillery regiment was so fierce that they could not even raise their heads.

"Oh my God! What is this? Why is it so powerful?" A defender on the city head held a fire door gun in his hand. He just put his head out and fired a shot outside the city, but where did the shot hit? Whether it was a hit or not, only God knows.

At this time, the Fire Gate Gun was a treasure, and it was finally able to show off its skills, but the opponent's weapon turned out to be more powerful than theirs. Especially the artillery, which directly took away many brothers.

Soon the Roman walls could no longer hold up, and a section of the southern wall collapsed. Along with the tremor of the ground, a cloud of dust rose up, accompanied by the screams of the defenders.

"The city is broken, attack, for the glory of God!" The infantry rushed in directly, and the defenders also reacted and quickly had people block the gap. After a while, when the dust and fog dispersed, a large gap in the city wall suddenly appeared in front of everyone's eyes: it showed an inverted trapezoid, wide at the top and narrow at the bottom. After the stones and sand collapsed, a slope was naturally formed on both sides of the gap. .

"Fight back, beat them out." When the city wall was broken, they knew that Rome could not hold on, but the remaining fanatical religious sentiments made them make a final death struggle, just in case God showed up.

But God didn't seem to be on his side. Their loyalty to God was worthy of recognition, but God really didn't intend to be on his side. Instead, he gave his luck to the serious heirs of Rome.

A Benedictine monk shouted sternly and rushed over with hundreds of people, trying to reorganize his defenses and repel the Romanian army that rushed into the city. However, more and more Romanian troops entered the city at this time, and the Romanian troops were well-trained. After rushing into the city, they did not blindly pursue the city. Instead, they first formed combat units based on small teams, and then continued with The small team formed a large group or even a whole battalion, covering each other and rolling forward to the left, right and front, and soon occupied the area around the gap.

Two hours later, all the defenders at the city gate were lost. The defeated monks in the city could only begin to move towards the Castel Sant'Angelo under the organization of their leaders. The Benedictine monks and some religious fanatics centered on St. Peter's Cathedral. There was resistance in several surrounding streets and alleys.

In the evening of that day, the Romanian army basically cleared away the remaining defenders in the city and firmly surrounded the Castel Sant'Angelo and the cathedral. After a night of fierce fighting, at dawn the next day, St. Peter's Basilica was completely eliminated. The defenders of Castel Sant'Angelo could only fight as trapped beasts, and the entire city of Rome fell into Peter's hands.

"Rome, did you miss me?"

Peter looked at the city of Rome that was already in his possession and shouted. This eternal city finally belonged to him and the Roman Empire forever. The dream of the great Roman Empire has also come back. Although the possibility of realizing it is slim, the territory that Emperor Justinian had at that time seems to be no longer a dream.

"Your Highness, the city is ready. You can enter the city."

When Peter rode into the city of Rome, shouts of hail came from all directions.

【

There was no such cheer when Belisarius recaptured the city of Rome, because it didn't take long for the Ostrogoths to fight back, and Peter had no such doubts. Unless the opponents dared to use the strength of the whole country to fight, he was sure that they would come. No reply.

Peter entered St. Peter's Basilica again. According to the idea that Catholicism and Orthodoxy have the same origin, Catholicism is Orthodoxy, and it is natural for him, an Orthodox Christian, to come here.

Peter came to the tomb of Saint Peter, also known as Saint Peter. And his name was also taken from the name of Jesus' chief disciple.

Peter looked at the tomb and had the urge to dig him out. But he still held back, clasping his hands together and praying.

"Although I don't belong here, I hope you can protect the empire. I also want to fulfill the dreams of those Eastern supporters and prevent them from crying."

After saying that, a ray of sunlight fell on Peter from above. When everyone saw this scene, they called God to appear. They all knelt down beside Peter.

"In this case, I will treat you as if you have agreed. I will go see Jesus another day to help me. Although I can't fire at you, I can do it quietly."

Peter said silently twice before leading the people away from here. Of course, he also pretended to get a manuscript from the basement and publicized its contents.

According to the above content, it is said that Constantine did dedicate the Lateran Palace to the church, but there was another condition at that time, that is, if the Roman Church showed heretical tendencies, Constantinople had the right to take back his land. .

This directly caused a stir in the city of Rome. Neither the stubborn resisters nor the civilians believed it was true. But the other party still had such good reasons. For example, it was hidden in the church basement and sealed with bricks, so they couldn't find it when they robbed it last time.

Don't talk about looting. After the fall of Rome, all other defenders went to Rome to rescue them. However, more than 30,000 regular troops obviously had an easy time facing less than 10,000 civilians. But what puzzles the commander is that there are hundreds of thousands of mercenaries in Apennine. Where have they gone?

In fact, after Rome entered northern Italy, their life became difficult. After all, they could not fight Rome, and they had not lived enough.

In order to survive, they also changed their place of residence and went to France or the Shinra to become mercenaries. The war demand here was high, so it was easy to find an employer. Even if there was no employer, they could go to the countryside to rob.

But there were still some who didn't escape, because they were hired by Florence and Siena to defend the borders. For fear that Rome would go north to unify Tuscany if his brain got hot, he still asked the other party to calm down.

In less than a week, the Castel Sant'Angelo was also breached, and other strongholds of the Papal State also surrendered. The entire Papal State was occupied. Pope Gregory XII fled to Siena and then sailed to Sardinia. The island is sheltered by Aragon. Other bishops are also running to various places, and the Holy See should change its name.

Romania also knows that the consequences of this may be huge, so it is prepared in advance. Romagna and Hungary are both preparing to prepare. It depends on whether the six electors will continue to send troops. They represent most of the HRE princes. European war.
