The Three Kingdoms

"Byzantine city-state?"

Sun Quan's pupils narrowed slightly. He may not know Antioch very well, but he has somewhat heard of the city of Byzantium.

The capital of the later Eastern Roman Empire.

Also known as Constantinople.

This city also has a name, the Roman granary.

"Can we take the Byzantine city-state by sea?" Sun Quan asked.

"It is estimated that it is difficult!"

Li Ru shook his head: "We have received news that the Italian Legion has stationed troops in the eastern waters, and is ready to face off against the Sea Eagle Legion. Even if the Sea Eagle Legion is capable of defeating the Italian Legion within this year, it is impossible for the Sea Eagle Legion to go north to surprise the city-state of Byzantium!"

"Isn't there still a skeleton army?" Sun Quan said.

"Your Majesty, although Lu Ziming is a proud young man, it is very difficult to recruit, train, and form combat effectiveness in a short period of time. The foundation of the Skeleton Legion is basically formed by pirates, and rectifying military discipline is already the biggest problem. , Lu Meng said that two months can form combat effectiveness, but I said that it will take at least half a year to go out!" Li Rudao: "The Skeleton Army will not be able to rely on it in a short time!"

"Why don't I know!"

Sun Quan smiled wryly.

Lu Meng is currently in a state of excitement. Even though he is stable by nature, he is inevitably a little proud. Sun Quan doesn't believe that he can form a fighting force in two months.

With a legion of 10,000+ people, it would be a miracle if Lu Meng was able to recruit, organize, train, become familiar with the operation of warships, be proficient in deploying formations on the water, and form combat effectiveness within half a year.

"It seems that we have really gnawed on this hard bone!" Sun Quan sighed, pointing his finger at the map: "Then I will forcefully punch in from here, and I will see if they can stop my progress! "

"Your Majesty, the Romans have begun to be wary of our red-clothed cannons and thunderbolts. A few years ago, when a thunderbolt went down, at least three or five of them could be bombed, but now they can only bomb one or two at most!"

Li Rudao: "You must be prepared mentally, this will definitely be a tough battle, even if we have weapons that are dozens of times sharper and more terrifying than theirs, if Olvelli fights to the death, we must pay a heavy price!"

"so what!"

Sun Quan's emerald amber eyes burst out with an unparalleled sharpness: "It just so happens that I haven't been on the battlefield for many years, and my body is a little rusty, so I will use the battle of Antioch to sharpen my knife and block my way." Lu, kill!"

This battle cannot be avoided, nor can it be avoided.

There are only two ways to attack the city of Rome, either by sea, attacking from the sea, or by land, crossing a road of nearly [-] miles, and rushing in.

Sea routes are currently impractical.

It is not bad to have two legions crossing the sea. If you want to transport millions of troops, even if you work overtime in the country, it is impossible to manufacture so many warships.

There is only one way to fight from the land, and whoever dares to stand in front of him will be eliminated.

This is the domineering spirit of Sun Quan who has proclaimed himself emperor for many years.

"Your Majesty is wise, I am willing to lead the horse and carry the knife for Your Majesty!" Li Ru's eyes were bright, and there was a gleam of admiration flowing. This kind of Sun Quan is him. Li Ru assisted the overlord, and he will surpass the three emperors and five emperors and complete the unification of the world. , the emperor who has never appeared in the ages.

"What's going on in Egypt?" Sun Quan took a deep breath, turned around, and asked, leaving behind the strategic plan behind him, and the situation on the southern front rang in his mind.

"There is my negligence of duty in Jin Yiwei. The news that His Majesty suddenly summoned the generals to Damascus has been learned by Roman spies and has been spread. William knows that the current chief generals of the Second War Zone are rushing to Damascus. When he was empty, he seized the opportunity, took the initiative to attack, and caught the second theater by surprise!"

Li Ru gritted his teeth.

Jin Yiwei is not without enemies. In the Roman Empire, there is also a terrifying opponent. This person is named An Er Hades.

Aner's Death Scythe is the ghost beside Severu.

The ruthlessness of this person made Li Ru a little afraid.

"How about casualties?" Sun Quan asked.

"At least [-] casualties!" Li Ru's face was a little sad.

This is the biggest defeat since the start of the war this year.

Both the Blood Wolf Legion and the Tiger Legion suffered two major setbacks, and the casualties exceeded everyone's expectations.

"William!"

Sun Quan's eyes were cold, the corners of his mouth raised, and he uttered two words coldly.

"This is a famous Roman general. The Augustus Legion is the number one fighter legion in the Roman Empire. Every soldier, soldier, and fighter advocates offense. They have very powerful attack capabilities!"

"It's Zhao Yun, I want William's head!"

"promise!"

Li Ru accepted the order with a nod, cupped his hands in salute, and then quietly withdrew from the camp.

"Your Majesty, the army is ready!" Lu Bu opened the door curtain and strode in.

"strike camp!"

Sun Quan thought for a while and said, "Let Ma Chao be the vanguard and Cao Zhen be the vanguard's lieutenant general. Lead the rest of the army to open the way!"

"promise!"

Give an order, drums are beating, hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses are marching towards the northwest...

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

Alexander port.

This is the first port of Egypt, named after Alexander the Great in the past. It is an important base for Egypt's economy and trade, and it is also the link between Egypt and Rome.

In the early morning of this day, a fleet came slowly against the early morning fog, and then anchored in the port.

"Master Legion, the fleet of Eastern Demons has already begun to invade our waters. Yuri is gathering the main force of our First Legion to rush to the battlefield. Why are we still in Egypt?"

"Sobei, you are talking more and more!" Claras walked down the deck, and when he heard the words of the lieutenant next to him, his eyes suddenly became cold and sharp, and he squinted at the man he relied on so much. long.

"Respected Legion Commander, the last general dare not!"

He glanced at Sobei, and his hairs immediately stood on end.

Everyone in the First Legion knew that since Claras was defeated by the Skeleton Pirates, his temper was cloudy, and no one dared to say a word in front of them.

"Humph!"

Claras snorted coldly, continued to walk down the deck, and walked towards the port pier.

He came to Egypt at this time, naturally not for fun.

He is well aware of the changes within the Roman Empire, and he is also one of Severus' confidantes. He knows everything and is shedding the last drop of blood for the empire with his own life and dignity.
