The Three Kingdoms

"Could it be that the Eastern Devils are going to retreat?"
"Impossible. The soldiers and horses outside the city are like clouds. The eastern demons have the upper hand in this battle. How could they retreat so easily!"
"The way I see it, the Eastern Devil is planning some kind of conspiracy!"
"..."
The generals of the Germanic Legion stood on the city wall, looking at the quiet outside of the city, seeing that they had not launched an attack, somewhat uneasy.
It's like a person's anxiety when waiting for the execution. He obviously looks at the butcher's knife hanging high around his neck, but the butcher's knife never falls down, and he doesn't know when the butcher's knife will fall down. Come.
This kind of apprehensive mood caused the soldiers' morale to suffer a serious setback than a real fight with real swords and guns.
"Honorable Pope Alveli, what do you think is the conspiracy of the Eastern Devils?" The chief consul of the German Legion, Savides, looked a little gloomy. He glanced at the continuous barracks outside the city, and looked around of Olveri.
"conspiracy?"
Alveli shook his head: "This is a public conspiracy. The sovereignty of attack is in their hands. If they want to fight, they will come back. If they don't want to, they will shrink back. The initiative is never on us. This is our shortcoming, and it is also We must bear the psychological pressure!"
"But if this continues, the fighting spirit of the soldiers will collapse, and they will feel uneasy in their hearts. It seems that they are trying to dismantle our fighting spirit!" Sevedis clenched his fists and said: "This The Eastern Devil is really insidious!"
"It's just a trick to delay the attack and confuse the soldiers. It is not very effective for such a battle. After all, the soldiers who can stay here have all experienced inner struggles. Although they are a little apprehensive, they will be stable in a short time. Come down!"
There was a sharp and cold light in Olveri's eyes, and he stared at the outside of the city: "I'm afraid they might have some tricks that we didn't expect, there are too many wise men from the east, so we shouldn't underestimate them! "
As the defensive side, Olvelli also knows how to go to the end and keep secrets.
Although he had made all the preparations, he was not at all sure what accidents would happen during the war, and he was very afraid of the Wu army outside the city.
"The Pope is too worried, I believe we can keep Antioch!"
Sevedis said firmly: "God will not let the light be dusted, and the devil will never be able to defeat the brave and powerful knights of the empire!"
"May God bless us!"
Olvelli smiled wryly, but still performed a devout ceremony.
He is a Christian.
From an ordinary believer to the Pope who is now in charge of Christianity, he should be the most devout believer before God, because only his piety can make the believers in the Roman Empire become fanatical.
But he is actually a soldier who advocates self-confidence from the bottom of his heart.
He does not believe that the so-called God ever existed.
He just believes in the power that can be grasped in his hands, and it is a very stupid thing for him to entrust victory or defeat to God on the battlefield.
"Report to His Majesty the Pope, there are oriental demons appearing in the city?"
A spy came to report: "They claim to be envoys, and they are here to meet the Pope!"
"what?"
Hearing this, Olvelli quickly looked under the city gate, and found two figures less than ten meters away from the city gate, holding a Golden Dragon Banner representing the Great Wu Dynasty in their hands, lonely standing.
"What is the meaning of this eastern demon?" Sevedis also found out, with a gloomy look in his eyes.
"Savidis!"
"exist!"
"Send out the cavalry, but check to see if there are soldiers and horses from the Eastern Devil moving outside the city!" Olveri said indifferently after being silent for a while.
"Yes!"
Sevedis sent hundreds of light cavalry to investigate from outside the city.
Soon these cavalry spies returned to report.
"My lord Pope, there is no movement in the camp of the Orientals, and there have never been any demonic soldiers and horses within ten miles outside the city!"
"Open the city gate and let them in!"
Olvelli's eyes fell on the two Orientals outside the city, and a playful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "I want to see what tricks these demons have!"
"As ordered!"
The gate of the city was opened, and with the determination to die, the two generals of the Wu army outside the city held the great Wu imperial flag in their hands, marched forward fearlessly, and walked into this city that the Wu army even dreamed of defeating.
"Li, are you afraid?"
"afraid!"
"Then why are you here?"
"You will die after all. If you die like this, you can leave your name in history, you can become a martyr, you can protect the lives of your wife and children, and you can protect the honor of the Li family. Then you, why did you come!"
"I am a Parthian. Although I am only an interpreter, I made a mistake on the battlefield. I must go to the gallows, but I will die aggrieved as scheduled. It is better to die in battle like this. Only in this way can my family live in peace." Discriminated against by Wu people!"
Li Ming was in his thirties, and Mitrasu was in his 40s. Both men were wearing military uniforms of Wu Jun. They whispered as they walked.
In fact, both of them were prisoners sentenced to death by the military law. This time they entered Antioch alone, and never thought of coming out alive. They both had the determination to see death as home, because they would get a promise to trigger the military law if they died here. The two of them will become heroes and martyrs who died in battle, and will keep their honor while enjoying pensions in their families.
For the two of them who were about to step onto the execution stage, this was undoubtedly a pie that fell from the sky, it was so delicious that they couldn't wait to swallow it in one bite.
The two people who walked into the city, led by the Roman soldiers, walked forward along the street, and finally saw the supreme first general of the Roman Empire, Olivieri, in a very ordinary hall in the city.
"The envoy of Great Wu, Li Ming, has met General Alveli!"
Li Ming said naturally, and then Mitrasu translated his words, and the two bowed slightly, which was regarded as a salute.
"Why don't you kneel?"
Olvelli watched the two standing like pine trees, his eyes widened, and he was not angry.
"General Alveli, although I, Li Ming, are just an ordinary soldier, I am here to pay homage to Your Excellency the General, and I represent His Majesty the Emperor. Even if the current emperor of the Roman Empire is sitting in this hall, I can't stand it." Your majesty's kneeling ceremony, you can't bear it even more!"
Li Ming, a leader of the Snow Leopard Legion, because the soldiers around him suffered heavy casualties during the battle, violated the military order, retreated without authorization, and went to the yamen of the Military Justice Department, and was sentenced to death.
He is a coward.
Being able to become the head of the regiment is nothing more than because he was born in the Jiangdong Lecture Hall. The young people who were born in the Jiangdong Hall these years are very popular in the army, so he was asked to be a head of the regiment.
But violating military orders is a capital offense.
He was finally sentenced.
At this time, he had already thought that he was bound to die. This mission was for his family, for making himself die wiser and mightier, and for preventing his son from being ridiculed, so he His courage grew.
