Tang Dynasty: After dominating Rome, I counterattacked Chang'an

Chapter 41 The man who dominates everything is called Li Chengdao!
"Rome, where is that?"

Yuchi Jingde's eyes became unfocused and he became more and more confused.

He fought for several years.
He is already old and is almost half buried in the ground.

Rich experience.

But I have never heard of anything about Rome.

That….
Could it be that the westernmost area of ​​the Western Regions is not a desert, but Rome or other countries?

Li Jing and others were also confused.

But they didn't say much because they didn't know much about Rome and other places.

And soon,
Li Junxian brought the Roman soldier in.

Whoosh!
At that moment,

The Roman soldiers noticed that many people were looking at them, confused, surprised, bewildered, and wary...
He couldn't help but swallow.

The feeling of oppression given to him by the people present was no different from that of the Pope back then. Being stared at by such a group of people, he felt extremely stressed.

In the eyes of Li Jing and others, the appearance of Roman soldiers was obviously different from that of Oriental people.

He looked like someone from the Western Regions, but Li Jing had seen people from the Western Regions before, and their appearance was very different from that of this Roman soldier.

"You said you were from Rome."

Li Jing stared at him and asked calmly, "Where is that? Also, you said you knew the main envoys who broke into Liangzhou City this time. Who are they?"

Upon hearing this, the Roman soldier took a deep breath and said, "General of the Tang Dynasty, before I tell you about that group of people, let me first tell you about the country in the far west of the Tang Dynasty."

"Ten years ago, in the far west of your Great Tang, there was a country. The people there lived happily, and the territory was as vast as your Great Tang."

When I heard that the territory was almost the same as that of the Tang Dynasty.

The expressions of Li Jing and others changed suddenly.

All of them thought that in today's era, the Tang Dynasty, with all nations coming to pay tribute, was invincible in the world. They did not expect that there were countries over there that were no worse than the Tang Dynasty.

This….
They all became energetic instantly.

As the saying goes, the strong also care about the strong. If Rome was just a small country, even a country like the Turks, they would not care much.

It's just that there is a small country in the far west.

But if it is not much inferior to the Tang Dynasty, then... it is worthy of attention and concern.

The Roman soldier continued speaking.

"That country has many devout soldiers who have dedicated themselves to God. They are fearless and are honored by the world as the Holy See Crusaders."

"Under the leadership of the Pope, the Holy See Crusaders won every battle and soon completely dominated the entire Western countries. It is... a well-deserved overlord."

"This lasted for a hundred years. It has always been the strongest overlord. Its name is... Rome."

"Later, an Oriental man came to this land, bringing with him many embarrassed Oriental soldiers."

When the Orientals and Oriental soldiers were mentioned, Yuchi Jingde's face changed slightly. The others were a little slow to react, but their pupils also shrank slightly.
Ten years ago, Orientals, Oriental soldiers….
Combining these valid information, they vaguely guessed something.

Still without interruption, the Roman soldier continued speaking.

"The leader of the Easterners wanted the Roman rulers to settle them, but the Roman rulers refused and drove them out."

"No one cared about this matter. In the eyes of the Roman nobles at that time, it was just a matter of driving away a group of homeless people. There were many such incidents in the past. They were all refugees from other countries who wanted to seek refuge with them. After seeing it so many times, they got annoyed and stopped caring."

"There's nothing surprising about this. At most, that group of people came from the East, so many people who are curious about the East should pay more attention to it."

"But later, this group of Oriental people began to gain a foothold in the West. They established a firm foothold and developed steadily. Soon they had strong troops and horses and launched an expedition against the weakest Western country nearby."

"They won. In just three battles, three crushing battles, they completely annihilated the army of that small country."

"They occupied that country, and the civilians of that country went into complete hell, becoming slaves of those Orientals."

"That group of Orientals didn't treat them as human beings. They made them do hard labor for eight hours out of twelve hours a day. If they didn't obey, they would be killed or beaten."

"Under the painful oppression of the Orientals, the economy of the newly established country in the East is soaring day by day."

"In just one year, they have become more powerful than before. They have started to attack other countries again. They have their own way of fighting, which is a very rogue way of fighting."

"If the enemy is strong, we will avoid its front. If the enemy is weak, we will directly surround and destroy it. According to them, this is a set of tactics called "when the enemy retreats, we advance, and when the enemy advances, we retreat."

"The entire Western world, including Rome in the past, has never seen such a method of warfare. The West has always used real swords and guns to gather large armies and fight directly. They have never been as cunning as these Orientals."

"So, the West was defeated, including Rome, which discovered the horror of these Orientals and organized several wars against them, but all of them ended in failure."

"They are too strong, too strong... so strong..."

Speaking of which,

The Roman soldier, who had been speaking calmly, seemed to have thought of some nightmare. His eyes turned into fear and his hands were shaking.

He lowered his head, holding it tightly, and said in a trembling voice: "It's so strong that the Western people, the Western countries that have been fighting each other for hundreds of years, have all united."

"This is an unprecedented event. Our ancestors in the West have tried countless methods to unify and integrate the West, but they have never been able to achieve it."

"The arrival of this group of Oriental people has united us. It is not a false union, but a union of hearts without any concealment."

"During those days, we were brothers and sisters. We all, including the Roman Empire, united to fight against those Orientals."

"The Roman Empire was the undisputed overlord of the West. A hundred years ago, other countries had only united to fight against Rome. There was no precedent for Rome to unite with them. But in order to fight against the Easterners, they had to unite."

"But... even if we combine the military strength of the entire Western world, as well as excellent generals and powerful soldiers, we still cannot defeat those Orientals."

"Their fighting style, their ardent faith, their fearless determination... We, we have never seen such fighting style before."

The Roman soldier became more and more terrified as he spoke, his lips trembling: "Can you Tang people imagine this? Even if some of those Eastern soldiers died, their eyes were red before they died. They were fearless and determined to take one of us with them."

"They... they are not human, they are lunatics! They are also devils! We are completely defeated!"

"The positions were lost step by step, the cities were turned into seas of fire step by step, and in the end even the Roman Empire, the miracle city of Constantinople that was known to the world as having lasted for a hundred years, could not be protected."
