The Three Kingdoms

On June [-], the army approached Damascus.

On June [-], the Wu army's Xiongnu army and the Roman Empire's Apollo army fought on the eastern plain of Damascus.

Wu Jun was preparing to attack the city and fight.

However, the Apollo Legion of the Roman Army took the initiative to go out of the city to fight, which happened to be in the heart of Wu Jun, and the war was about to break out.

This battle lasted for five days and three hours, and the final result was that Wu Jun lost and won again.

The main force of the Xiongnu Legion fought against the Apollo Legion, and with the strategy of inducement, they dragged the Apollo Legion into the plain, and the fifty red-clothed cannons ambushed on the plain fired at once, but they did not get the expected result.

The years of the Roman Empire are really not in vain.

The Roman army, which had suffered a great loss on the Mesopotamian battlefield, began to take precautions against these weapons, and the effect was obvious.

Da Wu's red cannon is the most lethal weapon, but this bulky bronze cannon obviously has a lot of flaws, whether it is in range or aiming, there are big problems.

Aiming at the issue of the range of the red cannons, the Roman army took advantage of the mobility of the light cavalry of the Apollo Legion and the advantage of fighting at home. Instead, they were able to escape the range of the red cannons and took the initiative to attack the Huns.

Of course, Jia Xu is not a vegetarian either.

Even without the cannons in red, he also took advantage of the strong combat power of the Huns to win the battle, and finally ended the battle with a disastrous victory for both sides.

But this battle gave the first theater a lot of introspection.

When their invincible weapons lost their effect, they panicked a little.

Damascus city, northeast, 120 miles away.

Wu Jun First Theater Command.

In the camp, the atmosphere was oppressive.

Pan Feng's complexion was not very good-looking: "Ding Feng, why the fifty red cannons didn't have any effect, you tell this commander!"

"The last general apologizes!" Ding Feng walked out from the eyes of the generals, bowed his head, and said with cupped hands.

"What the commander wants is not an apology, but a reason!" Pan Feng shouted.

"Reporting to the commander, we lost this battle because our understanding of the enemy forces may be somewhat insufficient. We did not expect them to be able to predict the range of our red-clothed cannons. In addition, we made some mistakes in the choice of battlefield terrain. We chose this battlefield because it is open and unstoppable, but none of us thought that the left flank of this plain is actually a hill."

Ding Feng still bowed his head and knelt down, and said word by word: "Using this hill, the Roman army perfectly avoided our shells, and then they were able to attack in a roundabout way, but killed the Hun army. This is the last general dereliction of duty!"

He said two reasons.

One is that the Roman army already had some understanding and preparedness for the red cannons, but they still bombarded directly as before.

The second was an away game. I didn't know enough about the local terrain. I guessed that there was a mistake in the battle on the battlefield, which allowed the Roman army to take advantage of the terrain and avoid their bombardment. (To be continued.)

[Text 430 Chapter [-] The Death of Severus II]

In an instant, in this solemn camp, the atmosphere became cold and lonely. W (i)

On the discussion table, all the generals sitting at each other looked at each other with gloomy eyes, but none of them dared to speak.

The Wu army developed from the Jiangdong army back then. It took more than ten years to fight in the south and north, and it is strong today. There are many reasons why the Wu army is invincible on the battlefield. It is undeniable that it is because of the Wu army itself. The fighting power is strong, but the bigger reason is that Wu Jun holds weapons that are beyond the times.

For example, Thunderbolt.

Relying on the thunder of thunder, Wu Jun defeated the Cao Wei Dynasty who stood shoulder to shoulder with Great Wu in just a few years.

And the cannon in red is the evolution of Thunderbolt.

The power of this red cannon is astonishing.

The generals and soldiers of the Wu army are basically regarded as soldiers sent from heaven.

Now this peerless weapon has suddenly lost its due power.

The hearts of the generals also became cold.

They seem to be a little less confident.

"Generals, what we are talking about today is not just about the success or failure of a war, nor does it seem to hold anyone accountable. If we want to talk about responsibility, the commander-in-chief and I are the strategic leaders of the first theater. We should bear the responsibility." The biggest responsibility, what I want to say is that we made a big mistake, a mistake that can make our Wu army soldiers fatal!"

In this cold and silent atmosphere, Zhuge Kongming, who was sitting next to Pan Feng, suddenly spoke in a deep voice, which made people feel a little bit of depression inexplicably: "My Wu army is strong because of the battles. The strength of the fight, we have also failed countless times on the battlefield. Countless soldiers left their lives on the cruel battlefield, throwing their heads and blood, so that the Wu army is at its peak today. It is not terrible to lose, it is terrible Only one thing, we underestimated the enemy!"

He paused, and continued: "If we hadn't underestimated the enemy, this battle would be invincible. At any time, underestimating the enemy is fatal. We hold the peerless weapons in our hands and don't take the Roman army seriously. This is the biggest mistake. In this battle, if Commander Jia Xu hadn’t remained calm in the face of danger, and turned the tide with the Huns’ legion against the main force of the Roman army, my first battle zone would have been a joke among Wu’s troops, and you guys should have thought about it!”

He is the Chief of Staff of the First Theater, responsible for ideological training and encouraging the army.

These deafening words, uttered from his mouth, went straight into people's hearts, and people dared not forget the slightest bit.

"The words of Chief of Staff Zhuge are justified. I have been on the battlefield for many years, and I can do everything with the advantage of weapons. Now I have committed a crime of underestimating the enemy. It is really unforgivable. I am willing to self-criticism!"

"It seems that we have all forgotten the tragedy that our Wu army fought from Jiangdong back then, and made such a big mistake. If the chief of staff hadn't reminded us, we would still be complacent!"

"In the previous battle in Chibi, in the Battle of Bashu, our soldiers, even without the power of thunder, fought bloody battles, returned with great victories, and opened up the territory for our Great Wu!"

"Now we need to correct our mentality!"

"To underestimate the enemy, you can do it once, and there must be no second time!"

"This battle has just begun. Your Majesty is watching us. We must prepare well and not underestimate the enemy again!"

All the generals nodded one after another, and their faces became serious.

"It can make them wake up, and it can be regarded as a bad thing turning into a good thing!"

Pan Feng sat cross-legged on the main seat, his long and narrow phoenix eyes swept across, looking at the attitudes of the generals now, he couldn't help feeling a little satisfied in his heart.

He had to admit that Zhuge Liang was a good deputy.

Zhuge Liang's character is a person who does everything by himself. With Zhuge Liang, in the first war zone, he can ignore many things. He just needs to focus on the changes in the battle. Zhuge Liang will take care of other things. It's all right.

Originally, this matter affected the morale of the army to some extent, but Zhuge Liang's handling of it in this way has reversed the influence brought about by the defeat of this battle, and has greatly inspired the morale of the army, making the morale of the army even more inflated.

If you let him handle it, maybe he doesn't have such earth-shattering means.

But Zhuge Liang's three or two sentences can completely change the situation.

"The generals are going down to reorganize the army. We lost this battle, and the morale of the army is quite disturbed. This commander wants a five-day truce!" Seeing that the morale of the army has stabilized a lot, Pan Feng also breathed a sigh of relief, waved his hand, and said.

"promise!"

All the generals stood up, bowed their hands to accept orders, and then walked out in a file at a rapid pace.

"Commander Jia Xu, Commander Ma Chao, please stay!" Zhuge Liang said suddenly, calling the two of them back.
