The Three Kingdoms

A staff officer took the order and went to deliver the order.

"Kong Ming, you want to..." Pan Feng's eyes became brighter.

"Retreat is irreversible!"

Zhuge Liang said indifferently: "How can we withdraw our troops under the pursuit of victory? No matter what the Roman army has planned, we have only one way now, and that is to rush in desperately. After the Mesopotamia province is taken, we will go straight to Syria. In the provinces, at worst, we will abandon the Sicily River and the logistics in the rear, and hundreds of thousands of troops alone will go deep and fight a battle of plunder!"

A rising fighting spirit was burning.

"I really want to see who in the Roman army is planning to swallow our western theater in one bite!"

*************************************

Syrian Governorate, Frontier.

A 40-year-old Roman, wearing a red cassock, stood on the hillside, staring at the front, with a kind smile on his handsome face, as if a bishop priest was preaching to the world.

However, the cold and murderous aura emanating from the Roman army waiting in line behind him has completely destroyed the peaceful atmosphere.

They are waiting.

It was as if a group of wolves were waiting for the most suitable hunting opportunity.

"Respected General Karl, there is news from the front that the Easterners have already invaded Barasu!" A knight came on horseback, saluted respectfully, and then reported.

"God bless!"

A general in full military uniform had bright eyes. He looked at the middle-aged Roman in red robes beside him: "Dear Bishop Alveli, this group of stupid orientals has entered our trap!"

A smile appeared on the kind face of the middle-aged Roman in red robes: "It seems that God still protects our great Roman Empire!"

"Can we attack now?" the chief general Karl asked.

"hold on!"

The middle-aged Roman in the red robe said calmly, "Let them go deeper!"

"Yes!"

Several generals respected this Roman in red robes, respected his words, and respected any of his decisions.

Olvelli is a believer who worships God.

But he also has a great identity. He was the first military division who supported Severus to walk out of the Danube. Severus almost obeyed him in terms of military affairs.

But after Severus unified Rome, his position was a bit awkward. In order to reassure Severus of him, he launched the military. In recent years, he presided over the religious affairs as a bishop in the Roman Empire, and he has rarely participated in the cooperation. Military conquest.

However, the successive defeats of the Mesopotamian province made Severus very angry, but because the Roman Empire had just wiped out the barbarians in the north, he could not come east to conquer the Orientals himself, so he activated Alveli .

Olvelli took the order at the critical moment, as the governor of Mesopotamia, he had already rushed to the city of Seleucia in January of this year.

He used a full three months to reorganize the three legions, and then used three months to start the layout.

In order to allow Wu Jun to enter the game, he paid a lot of wounded soldiers.

Crusaders and Jagged Legion were really injured.

But he hid two legions.

These two legions are his trump cards, and they are the capital for him to lure Wu Jun into the depths and besiege them. (To be continued.)

[Text Chapter 390 Hidden Fangs]

Province of Mesopotamia.

South.

Euphadela River.

On the surface of the river, an ironclad ship of the Sea Eagle Fleet was docking, arrayed left and right, forming a line.It seems to form a fortress on the water, with fierce eagle-headed battle flags flying above the fortress.

"Commander, this morning, the forces of the two divisions on the left flank were blocked!"

"Commander, at noon, the fleet of a division on the right flank was also blocked!"

"Commander, there are a lot of casualties in the frontal attack, and it is impossible to go through."

"Commander, we have sent troops to force our way through these rivers three times, but we can't get through them!"

In the command cabin, a group of staff officers reported the latest battle situation to Zhou Tai.

The goal of this battle of the Sea Eagle Legion is to pass through the Euphrates River, enter the Oronte River in Syria, and then enter the Roman sea from the Oronte River in Syria, which is the Mediterranean Sea in later generations.

But the Roman navy they encountered on the Euphadera River.

After a big battle, both losers.

Naturally, the Wu army would not stay because of the casualties, but the Roman navy made up their minds to defend the entrance of the river even in a desperate battle.

"Damn it, we made a wrong step, wrong step by step, and let them take the lead in occupying a ferry that can only be opened by one man and one man, which caused us to lose consecutive battles in these few battles. deficit!"

Zhou Tai narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at the battle map: "Now the infantry and cavalry of the Guanzhong Army and the Snow Leopard Army have probably begun to enter the Syrian province at this time, and will soon enter the hinterland of the Roman Empire. Now we can only keep spinning around here, a certain family is not reconciled!"

He holds a legion with 10,000+ soldiers, which is much stronger than that of the Roman navy, and in terms of combat effectiveness, it is at least three times that of the Roman navy.

The wooden ships of the Roman navy were no match for his iron-clad warships.

But this is an inland river, not an open sea.

On the surface of the outer sea, as long as his troops are sufficient and his warships are strong enough, he can directly run over a strong enemy. But in today's wars in inland rivers, the river is so wide that it doesn't matter if there are more troops. The Roman army only needs to guard the river. In the middle, the two wings are connected by iron chains, which is a pass that cannot be opened by one man. No matter how many troops he has, it will be difficult to break through.

"Ziming, what do you think we should do now?" Zhou Tai put on his head, looked at the silent Lu Meng, and asked

"Commander, we have no way to go now, we can't get in even with a strong attack, so we can only choose to divide our troops!"

Chief of Staff Lu Meng said: "Leave a part of the troops on the front to deal with it. The second army broke up from a dozen small rivers in the north and went around. It will be self-defeating!"

"Shall we divide the troops now?"

Zhou Tai heard the words, his eyes were gloomy and uncertain. After a long time, he gritted his teeth and said: "But we are not very familiar with most of the terrain here. There are too many rivers and reefs around here. If we divide our troops, will we be hit?" Let them defeat their schemes one by one, wouldn't we suffer a lot of casualties!"

It's not that he doesn't want to divide his troops, it's that he is too unfamiliar with the terrain here, so he must be cautious.

"Commander, judging from the current situation, the strength of the Roman navy is actually not very large. The reason why they were able to block our way was to hold a relatively favorable position. I estimate that their strength is less than [-]. As long as you entangle them, be careful when dividing your troops, don't be too scattered, and use the division fleet as a unit, even if you encounter an ambush, you can deal with it!"

Lu Meng analyzed carefully and said: "And now we have to divide our forces. If we are suppressed here, we may drag down the entire battlefield situation. Yesterday's battle report came back, and the vanguard of the Snow Leopard Army has already broken through Mesopotamia. The frontiers of the province are already preparing to enter Syria, and we are blocked on the waterway, so if we go to meet them, they will appear alone and go deep!"

"You let me think about it!" Zhou Tai fell silent.
