The Three Kingdoms

Olveri let out a long sigh, and said in a low voice, "Send me a military order, all legions, retreat to Syria immediately!"

He can bear the defeat of this battle.

But after losing food and grass, he couldn't sustain the offensive for a few days.

If the reinforcements behind them come up, the battle will be reversed by both sides.

In desperation, he could only give up the province of Mesopotamia.

Compared with the province of Mesopotamia, he cared more about the Germanic Legion and the Apollon Legion. If these two legions were wiped out here, even if he died, he would be sorry for the great emperor of the Roman Empire, Seve. Lu.

However, with this withdrawal of troops, the Roman Empire in the Mesopotamian provincial battle became a complete defeat. In the future, these oriental demons would open a door to enter the Roman Empire at any time.

"My lord, if we withdraw our troops here, I am afraid that the battle in Mesopotamia will fail. The Iron Blood Legion and the Crusaders can withdraw. They can go south along the way and withdraw to Syria, but they are still in Mesopotamia. What about the Legion of Augustus in the eastern part of Asia?"

Caracalla asked.

The defeat of the war has been decided, but if they can retreat, how can the Augustus Legion retreat.

"Pass my order, let them lead the army to the south, and retreat to the Egyptian province after crossing the river. Whether they can rush out depends on the ability of General William and the spirit of the fighters of the Augustus Legion!"

Olveri didn't know that the Augustus Legion had already withdrawn its troops to the south because of an ambush by the Wu army at this time.

He could only pray that the Legion of Augustus would break through the siege.

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

After Wu Jun withdrew his troops and left the camp in the western suburbs, they did not return in the direction of the original road. They headed in the southeast direction.

In this battle, they have already come out in full force.

The city-state of Uruk has given up.

At this time, they didn't know what the situation in the city was like, and they didn't dare to return to the city rashly. If the city was already occupied by the Roman army on the outskirts of the northern city, they would throw themselves into a trap.

The army retreated towards the southeast and kept retreating for nearly [-] miles before stopping and taking a rest on a hillside plain located in the southwestern outskirts of Uruk.

"Did the Roman army catch up?"

The chief general Tai Shici jumped off his horse, stood on the highest hillside, and looked behind with a telescope.

"After Yan Xingduan, he has returned, and the Roman army should not have pursued him!"

Chen Gong was dressed in battle armor, holding the hilt of the sword at his waist with his right hand, and jumped off his horse, and replied in a deep voice: "This battle definitely hurt them, and even Ma Chao's food for their rear camp Burn it, they have no intention of chasing and killing us!"

"That's good, immediately set up camp and rest, then count the troops, report the battle damage, and free up the good places for the wounded battalion and the medical battalion!"

Tai Shici put down the binoculars, and said to the generals, "Cao Xiu, you suffered the least casualties in this battle. You personally led the army to guard the periphery. If there is any situation, report it immediately!"

"promise!"

Cao Xiu hurriedly took orders and led his troops in the outer realm.

"After this battle, the Roman army will either retreat or fight to the death with us, Gongtai, do you think the Roman army will die to death?" Tai Shici was standing under a tree, looking at the distance to the west, and asked road.

"Probably not!" Chen Gong said: "I feel that the Roman general is very calm. He was able to stabilize the chaotic situation last night, which is enough to show that it is not easy. However, if you want them to retreat, it is not so simple, unless we The reinforcements are coming!"

"You send a large number of scouts first to understand the situation after the war!" Tai Shici said in a deep voice: "I need to know the specific situation before making plans!"

"promise!"

Chen Gong nodded and bowed his hands to accept the order.

"Where's Ma Chao?"

"injured!"

Chen Gong quickly replied: "He made a great reputation last night. The interpreter beside me said that the Romans called him the Demon King, the terrifying Great Demon King. Wherever he went, no one could stop him for a round. Wu Chao, I have only seen two people with such power, one is Lu Bu and the other is Zhao Zilong, but he killed all night and repeatedly beheaded the Roman generals, and finally in order to burn the food and grass, facing the interception of the Roman army, he entered alone. I was hurt too!"

"Gongtai, why do you think Ma Chao is working so hard all of a sudden?"

Tai Shici pondered for a while, then asked suddenly.

The previous Ma Chao was somewhat muddling along, but last night Ma Chao was extremely fierce, and he was indeed desperate. This is not the attitude that a general who is not from the Great Wu Army should have.

"I guess he surrendered!" Chen Gongdao: "He should have figured it out after these two years of fighting!"

"Surrender?"

The corner of Tai Shici's mouth raised a sneer: "Would this stubborn tiger surrender so easily?"

He thought for a while, and then said: "No matter what, his credit is real, and he must report it verbatim to see what His Majesty thinks. His identity is too sensitive, and I dare not stay in the Snow Leopard Army , can only cause a headache for the first theater in the west!" (To be continued.)

[Text Chapter 340 Ma Chao’s Abacus]

On the mountain, the wounded barracks.

In a separate tent.

Ma Chao had already taken off his battle armor, and was lying naked on a wooden bed. There were many wounds on his body, but the deepest wound was on his back. A military doctor was carefully treating the wound on his back. The deep bony wound was sutured.

"Commander Ma, do you want to use Mafeisan?"

"No need, clean the wound and suture directly!"

"But this will be very painful!" The military doctor hesitated.

"It's okay, I can bear it!" Ma Chao wasn't trying to be brave, it's just that Mafeisan is like Mongolian sweat medicine. If you take too much, it will make people unconscious. People like him who rely on force as the basis are very disgusted with this kind of medicine. .

"Commander!"

At this time, outside the camp, Il, the deputy commander of the independent army and the chief of staff, opened the curtain and walked in.

"Wait a moment!" Ma Chao said lightly without raising his head.

"promise!"

Yier can also be regarded as a super fighter, but he has no arrogance at all in front of Ma Chao.

If Ma Chao wanted to kill him, three moves were enough.

About a quarter of an hour later, the military doctor had finished stitching up the wound on Ma Chao's body, and applied medicine, and then said: "Commander Ma, your other wounds are fine, but the wound on your back is very deep. The spine must be properly taken care of, and within half a month, it must not be moved!"

"Thank you Doctor Luo, a certain family remembers!"

Ma Chao put on a long gown, sat down cross-legged on the wooden couch, and wiped off the cold sweat with a sweat towel. .

After the military doctor left, Il stepped up.
