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

"It's very simple. If the Egyptian governor Musius Aemilianus you mentioned, after learning about the battle tonight, he mobilized troops to attack us."

"Where will he attack from?"

Cao Mao smiled lightly.

Cassiopeia thought for a while, then suddenly said,
"I understand!"

If they destroy the pontoon bridge, the Romans can rebuild the pontoon bridge anywhere on the Suez Canal and cross the river to attack them.

But if the floating bridge is not destroyed, there is a high probability that the Romans will still attack the fortress.

But even though she understood the truth, Cassiopeia still hesitated,
"But we only have 3000 people, how should we deal with Musius' army?"

"Don't worry, you don't need to hold on for too long. When my navy arrives, it will be the end of the Romans."

Cao Mao smiled confidently.

……

Alexandria.

This is an ancient city with a long history.

After Alexander the Great conquered Egypt, he built a city here as the seat of the governor of the Egyptian province.

After his death, Ptolemy, the Egyptian governor, established the Ptolemaic dynasty here and was crowned Ptolemy I.

The governor of Egypt today is Mucius Aemilianus.

He sat in the study, looking gloomy at the few Romans in front of him,

"You said that the Eastern army appeared near the Suez Canal and not only rescued that bitch Cassiopeia, but also occupied the fortress?"

Several Romans lowered their heads, not daring to look directly at Musius.

"Reporting to the governor, yes... it is like this..."

"waste!"

Musius suddenly became furious, slammed the table heavily, and scolded all his subordinates.

Now the situation in the empire is complicated. Macrinus and Elagabalus are vying for the throne.

The Egyptian province is also quite uneven.

Due to the tyranny of the previous Roman emperor Caracalla, the Egyptians also complained.

Because of this, Musius gave a strict order to quickly capture Cassiopeia.

Otherwise, with Cassiopeia's identity, once it is used by others, it is very likely to lead to catastrophe!
In fact, Mucius didn't care about the competition between Macrinus and Elagabalus.

No matter who becomes the emperor, as long as he can keep his governorship.

But unexpectedly, the Orientals would suddenly appear in the Suez Canal and rescue Cassiopeia.

Could it be that Macrinus did not intend to attack the Thrace region, but planned to attack Egypt?

The more Musius thought about it, the more likely it was. After all, Asia Minor was thousands of miles away from the city of Rome, and there were countless armies waiting in battle.

If it were him, he might give up attacking Rome.

As long as you take down the province of Egypt, you can divide the land with Elagabalus and rule.

If this is the case, then it will be troublesome!

Musius rubbed his forehead, took a deep breath, and looked at the staff,
"What do you think about this matter?"

His clerk pondered for a moment, then slowly said,
"Governor, in my opinion, we can't let this matter go, we must organize our troops to take back both the fortress and Cassiopeia!"

"Otherwise, it will not be able to explain to the empire, and it will also affect the stability of Egypt."

The clerk's words actually touched Musius' heart.

He rested his chin in one hand and muttered,

"Pass down the order to organize [-]... oh no, [-] troops, ready to go to war with the Easterners."

The Roman Empire's troops stationed in Egypt totaled no more than 8 people.

Musius dispatched 5 people at once, except for the army to maintain law and order, it can be described as the best.

"Your Excellency, I remember the official document from the city of Rome saying that Commander Comasone led the Imperial Navy to Cyprus to block the sea. Why don't we ask him for help?"

The clerk reminded.

Musius' eyes lit up.

Yes.

You can request support from Comasone yourself.

In this way, if the land and water attack the Eastern Allied Forces, isn't victory within easy reach?

Thinking of this, Musius did not hesitate at all,
"Immediately draft a letter and send it to Chief Comasone, asking him to send troops to assist!"

"As ordered!"

The clerk took the order and left.

……

Two days later.

Roman soldiers rushed from all over Egypt to Alexandria.

Standing on the city wall, Musius looked at the endless barracks below his feet, and his heart suddenly became full of ambition!

With such a powerful Roman army, wouldn't it be easy to defeat the Easterners by themselves?
At that time, it might be possible for him to stabilize the throne of the Roman emperor.

Thinking of this, Musius couldn't help being elated, and ordered to the clerk beside him,

"Send the order to go to the Suez Canal!"

Following the order of Musius, the huge Roman legion set foot on the journey.

After marching for a day, at noon the next day, they finally arrived at the Suez Canal.

Looking at the ruined fort not far from the other side of the river, Musius frowned.

When he heard the report from his subordinates that the fortress collapsed inexplicably, he still didn't believe it.

But when I saw it today, it was true.

The wall collapsed in such a strange way, it must have been caused by the Orientals.

Maybe they made a deal with the devil.

Musius muttered in his heart, and said to the clerk beside him,

"First send a team of soldiers to test the Orientals."

The clerk nodded, and with a wave of his hand, a group of Romans rushed out from the army formation.

Led by several officers, they stepped onto the pontoon bridge in a murderous spirit and rushed towards the fortress.

Seeing this, Cao Mao nodded to Deng Ai behind him.

Deng Ai shouted loudly,

"First Brigade, Shang Mo Dao!"

The dragoons who were called out all clenched their swords and rushed out from behind the cover, blocking the way of the Romans.

The brave wins when we meet on a narrow road.

This sentence is most suitable for the here and now.

The two sides didn't shout and scold too much, and they directly fought into a group!
For the morale of the whole army, Muxius also sent elites.

Holding their round shields and wielding their long swords, these Romans charged fiercely at the dragoons!

However, these dragoons have received strict training, even without horses, they are still powerful fighters!
The Mo Dao held in their hands is extremely sharp, and it has the advantage of a long attack distance.

Before the Romans approached, the dragoons swung their knives and slashed down heavily!
Accompanied by the flickering cold light, the blood splattered everywhere!
The Romans in the first row were divided into two even with armor!
But they showed no fear on their faces, and they continued to rush towards the people of Longguo one after another.

Although it was only a tentative fight, the fight between the two sides was extremely bloody!
The dragoons didn't flinch at all, they stood firmly at one end of the pontoon bridge, forcibly suppressing the Romans' attack!
