The Three Kingdoms

"Master, the No. [-] cannon has exploded!" a regimental commander reported.

"How many casualties did we have?"

"More than 100 soldiers in charge of the operation of this red cannon were all killed!"

At this time, a craftsman in charge of recording strode out and reported to Ding Feng: "Mr. Ding fired twenty cannons in a row, and the barrels of several cannons began to heat up. It's not very good, I'm afraid they won't last long, I suggest to stop firing the cannon immediately, and wait until the cannon body cools down before firing!"

"We can't wait. Now we continue to increase our red cannons on the battlefield. No matter how good the weapons are, they can't compare with the lives of soldiers. If this battle can't deter the Roman army, we will pay tens of thousands of lives. Order, other cannons, continue to explode!"

Ding Feng looked at the battlefield with a telescope. It is not yet the time when he has the upper hand. He still needs to continue bombing to destroy the fighting spirit and morale of the Roman army. Only in this battle can he achieve his goal.

He can't care about the bombing issue now. Now that the battlefield below is in a fierce moment, the cannons here can't stop, and he continues to give orders: "Send down the order, after each cannon is filled, immediately set up shields around it, and use all your strength Defense, try to prevent casualties caused by the explosion!"

"Yes!"

Several generals led the way.

boom!boom!boom! ! !

The cannons were still bombing, but after three consecutive cannons on the top of the hill were blasted, the falling speed of their shells slowed down a lot, which made the Roman army breathe a sigh of relief and began to respond defensively.

"withdraw!"

At this time, the fierce Roman general William had recovered from the bombing again and again. His eyes quickly swept across the messy battlefield, and he rode his horse into the air. With the knight sword in his hand, he shouted and shouted: "I am William Augustus, all warriors of the Augustus Legion listen to my order and retreat immediately, retreat with all their strength, and withdraw to the camp!"

"Back up!"

"Back up!"

The soldiers of the Augustus Legion heard General William's military order. At this moment, they, headless flies, seemed to have a little goal. They quickly gathered their troops and retreated, and withdrew from this devilish battlefield.

"Wave the flag, tell Ding Feng to stop firing the cannon!"

Seeing that the Roman army began to retreat on a large scale, Zhuge Liang on the command platform cheered up, and he quickly issued orders: "Immediately let Commander Tai Shici lead the whole army to attack and beat the dogs in the water. The retreat of the Roman army must be turned into a rout. !"

A retreat is an orderly retreat.

A rout is an unordered mess.

The Legion of Augustus is indeed the elite soldiers of the Roman Empire. At this time, it is obvious that order can be maintained, but as long as the Wu army pursues the victory and kills hard enough, it should make Augustus' retreat very likely. Chengda collapsed.

"promise!"

The flag soldiers on the high platform quickly started to wave the two small flags in their hands, conveying military orders with flag language.

"Report!"

On the top of the hill where the twenty red cannons were located, a sentry who was observing with a telescope saw the semaphore on the command platform and rushed up to report.

"Say!"

Ding Feng picked out his ears. The strong vibration and roar from the bombing of the cannon could not bear it even if his ears were plugged. He was already a little deaf.The voice also shouted loudly.

"Master, there is an order from the headquarters, stop firing the artillery immediately!" shouted the observation sentinel.

"Say what, say it again!"

"Master, there is an order from the headquarters, stop firing the cannons immediately!" The observing sentinel sank into his dantian, shouting and reporting in a voice that was exhausted.

"Stop!"

Ding Feng heard clearly this time, gritted his teeth, and gave the order to stop firing.

"Yes!"

In the mountain camp filled with smoke, the twenty cannons suddenly stopped.

on the battlefield.

"Commander, the shelling has stopped!"

"Commander, order from the command platform, counterattack in an all-round way, and beat the dog in the water!"

The two observation scouts reported the situation to Tai Shici at the same time.

"Send the order, the whole army strikes!"

Tai Shici suddenly regained his composure, and it was time for him to fight back. He raised his head, his gaze was sharp, like a hunter aiming at his prey, and raised his silver spear in his hand: "Boys, charge head-on, kill one of them!" No piece of armor left!"

"kill!"

"kill!"

The generals and soldiers of the Wu army seemed to wake up from a sleeping lion, and they charged towards the remnants of Rome like a tiger coming out of the slaughter.

The one who charged the most was Ma Chao.

"Soldiers of the Independence Army, it's time for us to make meritorious deeds, kill them for me."

The Independence Army led by Ma Chao is like a vanguard arrow, marching forward indomitably.

"Kill the past!"

"Kill the past!"

The Independence Army is a bit weird in the Snow Leopard Army and even in the entire Wu Army. They are a large army composed of Anxi soldiers and young adults. They pay more attention to military merits, because military merits can make them get rid of the title of captives.

In the Roman military camp, on a high platform.

"Are there any other soldiers and horses in our barracks?" Geta calmed down. Although he was not very old, he was very calm, and asked the generals quickly.

"Have!"

A Roman general stood up and replied: "The Third Legion of the Iron Blood Legion entered the barracks yesterday afternoon and has been rectifying in the left barracks!"

"Send an order, let the Third Iron-Blooded Legion attack immediately to meet the retreat of the Augustus Legion!" Geta calmly issued the military order: "The position here on the Sicily River can no longer be maintained. Send my military order, and everyone in the barracks is ready to withdraw troops and withdraw. The Sicily River, and also, immediately sent messengers to return to the city of Seleucia, so that the Jagged Legion and the Crusaders who were being rectified were dispatched to respond. The third order was to order the Parthian Legion on the upper reaches of the Sicily River in the north not to continue with the Wu army. Hold on, let them go south immediately to meet me!"

"Yes!"

The Roman generals heard the orders and moved quickly.

This great battle is still in the midst of an ongoing confrontation. After the Roman army cleared up the remnants, they kept retreating towards the city of Seleucia. Since the Wu army wanted to show a tendency to besiege, they could only attack by force without giving them a chance to breathe. opportunity, in the step-by-step attack...

After three days and three nights of fighting, the soldiers of both armies were exhausted.

The Roman army gathered all the main forces, and with the support of reinforcements from the city of Seleucia, they retreated hundreds of miles away from the Sicily River and returned to the city of Seleucia. Stabilized the retreating formation.

And as the Parthian Legion in the north went south, the main force of the Roman army obviously increased a lot of troops, and the Wu army's offensive also stopped, and the attack line began to shrink.
