Saint Qin Batu

Four years later, the Suez Canal, nearly 400 miles long, was finally completed.

The huge imperial fleet, which had been waiting in the Red Sea for a long time, almost couldn't wait to sail into the Mediterranean Sea.

Ships loaded with silk and various exquisite bronze products slowly sailed into the heart of the Roman Republic.Amidst the cheers of the nobles, they were transported into their pockets one after another.

"Your Majesty, the construction of the great river has been completed. This is the time when the strength of the Roman people is exhausted, and I think it is time for war."

In Xianyang Palace, Ying Zheng silently looked at the letter from Bai Qi in his hand.After a while, he put the two letters into the black dragon scroll again.

"Come on!"

"Your Majesty!" A secret shadow guard in crimson armor knelt on the ground on one knee and replied respectfully.

"One to Lord Wu An, and the other to Wang Ben."

"Here!"

In Andong County, Mulu City, already a military fortress of the Qin army, can be seen almost everywhere with the murderous black-armored Qin army.

"Tread! Tread! Tread!"

Amidst the sound of neat steps, Qin Jun, who was like a cube, slowly marched on the open avenue.

There are many mountains in Andong County, or in other words, most of the Anxi land conquered by Qin State is mountain range.However, in the past ten years, the empire earned a lot of wealth from Rome, but almost none of the remaining land was invested in the construction of roads in these counties.

Everything is preparing for today, ten years later.

Among the Sanghai City, the Sanghai City has not been known how many times more prosperous, but now the sea is full of big ships.

The interior of each ship is not exquisite, but it can accommodate many soldiers, and all kinds of weapons and mechanisms are also readily available.

"Board!"

On the shore of Sanghai Beach, which was under martial law, soldiers of Qin State who had long been accustomed to sailing across the sea walked on the deck in silence one by one.

Starting from the State of Qin to reach the Red Sea, even with the current mechanism of the empire, it would take more than a year and a half to travel.

By the time they arrived, perhaps the main force of the Qin army on land had already fought against Rome near Ctesiphon.

However, Wang Ben didn't care.Because, their task is to bypass the Roman army and go straight to the heart of Rome.

Chapter 467 The End of Rome

Outside of Taixifeng, a dark camp surrounded the entire city on three sides.

It's too fast, even if it is an undeclared war, the speed of attacking the city is really too fast!

As a general of the Republic, Anthony, with cold sweat on his forehead, looked at the Qin army whose number far exceeded his estimate, feeling very disturbed.

"Report to the general! There is indeed no trace of Qin's ambush in the west." At this time, a voice rang in Anthony's ear.

"Are you sure?" Anthony asked with a straight face.

"Sure!"

Although Anthony's appearance was scary, the soldier's tone was still firm.

"Strange..." Anthony murmured silently in his heart.

This is the third time he has sent people to investigate.However, the three waves of people gave him exactly the same answer.This puzzled Anthony.

If you want to destroy the enemy, why leave a way out for the enemy?

This question has been lingering in Anthony's mind for a long time. If the battle is really unfavorable, should he abandon Ctesiphon and retreat to Damascus along this road?

Not only is Anthony thinking about this problem, even those ordinary soldiers are thinking about it too.

Surrounding three and missing one, the most basic common sense in the Chinese art of war, has become a difficult problem in the eyes of the people of the Roman Republic.

Of course, the reason why the Qin army was able to go all the way was that apart from the unpopularity of Rome for building the canal in the past few years, the psychological attack tactics of besieging three and missing one also played a huge role.

Taixifeng was once the capital of the Parthian Empire. Although it has rarely been repaired in the past ten years, it is still extremely strong.

Moreover, the fighting will of the Romans was indeed not much worse than that of the soldiers of the Qin army.

When the two sides come and go, Qin Jun can't take much advantage.

"Your Majesty, we can't delay like this any longer. Our army has more than 40 people, which is nearly twice as many as the Romans. The newly conquered city has not built a straight road, and the pressure on food is a bit high! If not Divide the troops and capture some cities in the north first, so as to recharge the army!"

In the Qin army's central camp, Han Xin, who had grown to be almost on an equal footing with Li Muping, said with a hint of reminder.

On the seat above, Bai Qi looked at the sand table below, but remained silent.

After a long time, Bai Qi said firmly: "Regardless of whether or not we can conquer Ctesiphon, we must surround it for at least three months!"

Han Xin opened his mouth, hesitant to speak.

"General Han, since Your Majesty has already made a decision, we should follow it." At this time, Li Mu, who is also Bai Qi's right-hand man, persuaded softly.

Seeing that Bai Qi and Li Mu both said that, Han Xin didn't say anything more.

Han Xin's idea is not wrong, if it was in the past, Bai Qi might do the same.However, neither Han Xin nor Li Mu knew that Bai Qi had received Ying Zheng's order and was waiting secretly.

The days of the siege seemed extremely long for both the Qin army and the Roman army.

Although the Qin army was facing huge logistical pressure, and many generals were quite puzzled, under Bai Qi's prestige, no one dared to complain.

Day by day, counting the past, it is getting closer and closer to the three months that Bai Qi said.

Along the coast of the Red Sea, the few small towns that could still be seen are now only weathered wreckage.

"Whoosh!"

A huge wave slapped on the huge ship's side, making a loud noise.

"Father, there are still less than ten days' voyage to reach the canal. After arriving, it will not take long before we can reach Damascus."

On the deck of the big ship, Wang Ben stood respectfully beside Wang Jian, and said patiently.

"Well, I see." Wang Jian nodded and said.

Wang Jian, who had the best reputation in Qin Kingdom, was still fighting in the past ten years.

After crossing layers of mountains, Wang Jian led more than [-] Nanling troops, and arrived at a land with fertile soil.

That's right, what Wang Jian set foot on was India.

It's just that although India has a good culture at this time, its military strength is paramount, and it is far behind the Qin army.
