The Three Kingdoms

"I don't know if it's easier to travel by water, or it's easier for us to travel by land?"

"How about we try!"

"no problem!"

The two armies went side by side, starting from the march. After two days of marching, they forced them back to the banks of the Sicily River in a day and a half.

The waterway is smooth, and it is still better than the two-legged road in terms of marching.

The first to arrive was the No.30 Eighth Army.

But Cao Xiu was not bad either. He arrived at the Sicilian River in less than an hour, and his formation was neat and he didn't seem impatient. This made Lu Meng look at him with admiration.

"Commander Cao's orders and prohibitions, the soldiers under his command are strictly disciplined and energetic, but they are extraordinary!"

"Chief of Staff Lu is overrated. The Great Wu Navy is the best in the world. This statement is true!"

After the two reconciled, they set up a military camp and water fortress on the plain not far from the river, and then praised each other fiercely, which made the division commanders under him look at each other and were at a loss.

"Chief of Staff Lu, how do you want to fight this battle?" After exchanging pleasantries, he began to get down to business.

"The enemy doesn't move, I don't move!" Lu Meng was silent for a while, and said word by word.

"I agree!"

Cao Xiu nodded, and then said: "Although the scouts reported a lot of things, but we didn't see it with our own eyes, I always feel uneasy. Why don't Chief of Staff Lu go with me to see the Roman camp fortified!"

"it is good!"

The two chief generals rode out of the camp, and with their personal guards behind them, they headed directly for the river.

"This is the golden eagle battle flag of the Roman Empire!" Standing on the plateau by the river, Cao Xiu stared at a military camp not far away, and the golden eagle battle flag was flying above the military camp.

The flag of the Roman Empire is bright red, with golden pistils on the left and right forming a circle, and above the circle stands a lifelike golden eagle.

"Ok!"

Lu Meng nodded: "Our Wu army was once defeated by this battle flag, not only Commander Tai Shici, but even Commander Zhou Tai suffered a great loss!"

"The Roman army is very strong?"

When Cao Xiu faced the Roman army for the first time, he was a little uncertain and uncertain.

"The Romans surpassed us in size!"

Lu Meng said: "All of them are tall and powerful, regardless of their physical fitness or strength, they surpass our soldiers. Hands-on handovers, we rarely get good ones!"

"Ten soldiers in one camp. There are at least five thousand tents here. It seems that the Roman army has more than [-] troops!" Cao Xiu's face became serious.

"Only more or less!"

"Have you figured out how to fight?"

Cao Xiu pondered for a while, narrowed his eyes slightly, and looked at Lu Meng carefully.

He had heard many battles of Lu Meng, and he dared not underestimate this young general of the Wu army.

"I've thought of an idea, but I don't know if Commander Cao is willing to give it a try?"

"tell me the story!"

Cao Xiu would not agree to it carelessly. Lu Meng and he were not in the same way. If he sacrificed the 46th Army and made the 38th Army, he would have no place to cry.

"Luring the enemy deep, ambush halfway!"

Lu Meng said word by word.

"I'll be the bait?" Cao Xiu frowned.

"On the contrary, the No.30 Eighth Army is the bait!" Lu Meng knew that Cao Xiu was wary of him. If they wanted to cooperate sincerely, he had to gain his trust: "We lure them to attack, and you No.40 Sixth Army halfway ambush!"

"Will your No.30 Eighth Army suffer a lot!" Cao Xiu didn't want to be too stingy, as long as Lu Meng didn't use himself as a spearman, he was willing to fight a bloody battle: "Why don't I send out a division and you send out a division?" , United lure!"

"You and my armies have never cooperated before, and there is no tacit understanding. If we join forces temporarily, it will be counterproductive. Our 38th army is still in charge of luring the enemy, and your 46th army is in charge of sniping!"

Lu Meng smiled and said: "Don't worry, I won't try to be brave, as long as you attack in time, this victory will be considered great!"

[Chapter 320, Chapter [-], Pulling out the camp]

The northern frontier of the Roman Empire.

British Isles.

The Roman army and the barbarian army are constantly fighting here. The war has been fought for more than a year. Facing the main force of the Roman army and the conquest of Roman Emperor Severus, the barbarian army is naturally retreating steadily.

On a small island, the Roman army camped.

Wang Zhang.

Severus's burly body sat on the throne. The first Roman emperor from Africa exuded such a strong breath of iron and blood, and his calm and majestic demeanor made all the generals under his command tremble.

"Where has the Augustus Legion advanced?" Severus' eagle eyes were like blades, and he glanced at the Roman generals under his command, and asked calmly.

The Roman Empire was formally organized, with a total of seven legions.

Naturally, the Guards Legion led by Severus has the largest number of people, the best equipment and combat effectiveness, followed by the Iron-Blooded Legion under Macrinus, which has both offensive and defensive capabilities, can be attacked and defended, and has strong combat effectiveness.

Among the seven legions of Rome, the third is the Legion of Augustus.

This legion originated from the Roman Legion built by the former Emperor Augustus himself, and has a long history.

This legion with the bull as the battle flag is a sharp sword of the Roman Empire. Perhaps the overall combat effectiveness of the Augustus Legion is not as good as that of the Jagged Legion, but the strength of the Augustus Legion can be said to be the head of Rome.

This is a legion that has always only attacked and never retreated.

"Your Majesty, General William sent back the battle report yesterday. The Augustus Legion has advanced to Moore Island. The barbarian general Sela led his army to surrender, but Bruce, a tribal leader of the barbarians, led the Celts to flee to the northern ice land! "

There were many barbarians in the Roman Empire, but there were only two types of people who could be regarded as opponents by the Roman army. One was the Celts, and the second was naturally the Germans.

Both were great enemies of the Romans, and they and the Roman Empire had been at war with each other for hundreds of years.

When Julius Caesar was strong, the Roman army had no barbarians who could conquer.

These barbarians are like the grassland peoples in the Central Plains. They have tenacious survival power and have always been the confidant of the Roman Empire. Several times the Roman Empire conquered the Parthia Empire because of these barbarians and had to retreat.

"very good!"

When Severus heard the words, he showed a cruel smile: "Let them flee, we can conquer Serra, and we have already cut off an arm of the barbarian. After this battle, within a hundred years, the barbarian will not Disturb the safety of my northern border, let William withdraw his troops, and the Augustus Legion is ready to march east!"
