The Three Kingdoms

In the Roman Empire, he belonged to the neutral faction, and he was also a direct descendant of Severus.

So in this battle, he didn't want to cause the army to be defeated because of Caracalla's impatience. He would rather slow down, advance steadily, step by step in the Wei camp, and never lose the big because of small losses, so that the Eastern Wu army can take advantage of it.

"Macolinus, what do you think of you?"

Caracalla took a deep breath, calmed down, and his eyes were a little cold. He turned his head and looked at his confidant General Macrinus.

"Your Highness, it is not appropriate for us to be radical at this time!"

Macrinus bowed his head and remained silent.

He had the deepest understanding of these oriental armies after a month of continuous fighting. Once again, the Roman hoarded army, and the Wu army also hoarded enough troops to block them. If he wanted to break through the defense line of the Sicily River and break into the Anxi territory, he did not have much hope. big hope.

Unless the Anxi army in the north can go south and attack the Wu army on both sides of the north and south, it is possible to defeat the Wu army on the other side of the river.

but……

"I don't want to hear this!"

Caracalla's eyes suddenly turned a little red. He slapped the table and shouted: "Ten days, within ten days, you must break through the Sicily River!"

"Yes!"

Facing Caracalla in this state, the two main generals didn't have much to say, they could only nod respectfully.

In fact, Caracalla and Severus have the same temperament. They are both arrogant and domineering, and they are not allowed to be refuted by their subordinates. They can be regarded as outright dictators.

……

On the east side of the river bank, on the plain in the middle of the two hillsides, Wu Jun's main camp is located.

"kill!"

"prick!"

"Go forward, charge!"

On the school grounds one by one, the soldiers of the Wu army were braving the wind and snow, practicing non-stop, and the sound of yelling was deafening, and they went straight to the nine heavens.

Zhang He, the commander of the Guanzhong Legion, stood on a high lookout tower with his hands on his back, staring at the fortified Roman barracks on the other side of the river, his expression became more and more solemn: "I, Zhang He, have lived most of my life and have been looking up at the sky in the Central Plains. But I can't see the endless sky, I have been a frog in the well for decades, and now I know that the world is vast, the Roman Empire, the Roman Legion, hahaha, interesting!"

Before he fought the Roman army, no matter how cautious he was, subconsciously he still regarded these so-called Roman soldiers as barbarian soldiers.

The so-called barbarians mean that although they are powerful in force, they have no rules in fighting. It is okay to be strong for a while, but they will not cause trouble if they fight for a long time.

But after the real fight, he didn't feel it.

The generals of the Roman Empire did not lose to the generals of the Wu army. Whether it was a contest on the military formation or a frontal fight on the battlefield, their combat effectiveness was obviously higher than that of the Wu army. Go beyond the generals of the Wu army.

He fought very hard in this battle. The Guanzhong Legion had suffered heavy casualties in the battle for months.

"commander!"

Cao Xiu walked up to the watchtower from the wooden ladder below.

"Wen Lie, your injuries are not fully healed yet. You are not in the camp to take good care of your injuries. What are you doing here?" Zhang He turned his head, looked at him with concern, and said lightly.

"Commander, this is just a minor injury, it's nothing serious!"

Cao Xiu touched the white gauze on his forehead, shook his head, and said in a deep voice: "I heard that the battle three days ago was very hard. Both the No. 40 Eighth Army and the Fifth Division suffered heavy setbacks. It is better to let them fight tomorrow." My No.40 Sixth Army will go to battle!"

A month ago, the Sixth Army of No.40 was severely defeated, and even Cao Xiu was injured. He had been lying on the bed for a month. Now that he has rested for a month, he has recovered a lot of vitality.

"hold on!"

Zhang He stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder lightly: "Don't be in a hurry. This battle is actually just the beginning for us. It's hard to say when we will have reinforcements. Now we must restrain our use of troops. Whether it is I, or Tai Shici, will not put in the final force, you are my hidden trump card, cultivate well, and the final decisive battle needs to rely on the combat power of the No.40 Sixth Army, understand?"

"Yes!"

Cao Xiu's heart trembled slightly, and he nodded quickly.

"Wen Lie, you are very smart, quick-responsive, highly talented, and you dare to fight on the battlefield. You don't lack courage, you don't lack courage, you are brave and resourceful, and you will become a hero in the future, but before that, you You must restrain your sharpness!"

Zhang He is very optimistic about Cao Xiu's future, and said a little bit: "A tree is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it. Your surname is Cao, and Cao Wei has passed away, but this surname is still somewhat taboo in the Great Wu Dynasty, so you need to taboo on many things. one time!"

"Commander, did I go too far before!" Cao Xiu said in a low voice, "I fought a little harder before, but I hope to let them see our value, so that my Guanzhong Legion can get better treatment. !"

"No!"

Zhang He shook his head: "You did a good job before. I don't blame you for showing your sharpness. Only when you show your talent properly can people pay attention to it. Especially the battle between you and Lu Meng is enough to make many people change their views on you. , but you have to understand that you are still not Lu Ziming. He Lu Ziming is a Jiangdong military general who was born in the direct line. He can show off his talents unscrupulously. If you have a good record, you will be able to rise to the top, but you can't, you are Cao Xiu, Cao Xiu of the Cao family, you must hold back!"

"I understand!"

Cao Xiu seemed to understand, but nodded obediently.

"Commander Zhang!"

A guard rushed over and shouted, "Commander Taishi welcomes you!"

"Looks like there's another big move!"

Hearing this, Zhang Yun turned his face slightly, took a deep breath, tidied up the snowflakes on his body, looked at Cao Xiu, and said, "Wen Lie, it is estimated that there will be another big battle. From now on, without my order, your injury I have been recuperating, and the No.40 Sixth Army is also resting!"

"Yes!"

Although a little aggrieved, Cao Xiu understood Zhang Yun's caution.

It took only a year for Cao Wei to perish, and they never forgot that one of them was a Wei man, a soldier of the Wu army who had surrendered from Cao Wei. In the system of the Wu army, they had to be careful in order to survive.

……

Zhang Xi hurriedly returned to the joint operations camp. In the spacious camp, the commanders and division commanders had gathered a large group of people. Their faces were gloomy and their expressions were ashen. It was obvious that they had received some bad news.

"Commander Taishi!"

"Commander Zhang!"

Tai Shici raised his head, looked at Zhang He, and handed him a document: "This is the news that the Jin Yiwei in the north got through Anzi. It has just been sent back. Take a look!"

"The Parthian Legion is heading south soon..."

Zhang He's pupils shrank suddenly: "The Roman Empire only has seven legions. We have been carefully guarding against them. It seems that there is no Parthian Legion. Could it be..."

"You guessed it right, the so-called Parthian Legion is actually a brand new Roman legion composed of the remnants of Anxi and the soldiers of the Kingdom of Armenia!"

Tai Shici said: "I have always wanted to use the rest of the remnant soldiers to hold back the Roman legion, but I didn't expect Vologassis V to be so soft-boned. He escaped from here desperately, but actually surrendered to the Roman Empire. Anxi's forces have become our great enemy!"

"At the beginning, Jinyiwei and the country wanted to use this force to cause civil strife in Mesopotamia, creating an opportunity for us to conquer Mesopotamia in one fell swoop!"
