The Three Kingdoms

Sun Quan put down the binoculars, turned around, stared at Zhuge Liang, and asked, "What did Kong Ming discover?"

"Report to Your Majesty!"

Zhuge Liang hurriedly said solemnly: "The general feels that today's battle is a bit strange. Although our army has already triggered the main attack in a theater, the speed is too amazing. In less than an hour, the battlefield has been pushed to the city wall. Below, the resistance of the Roman army is a bit weak!"

"indeed so!"

Zhou Yu and Pang Tong looked up at the battlefield, and their faces became serious.

"The two Roman legions in the city, according to the deployment of troops that have erupted from the current battle, shouldn't they hide their main force?" Sun Quan carefully looked at the battlefield with a telescope. into the city.

He narrowed his eyes slightly, and said in a deep voice: "From my point of view, what the Roman army on the city wall is showing today is not a passive attack. Although the strategy of attacking the heart has disturbed the morale of many troops, it is impossible to make them completely surrender. They are still stubbornly resisting!"

"Your Majesty, that's exactly the case, it's so strange!"

Zhuge Liang said: "The last general doesn't think they are passively fighting, but feels that their combat effectiveness has suddenly dropped a lot. The combat effectiveness of the main Roman army is definitely more than that!"

"What do you mean, the one fighting us is not the main force of Rome?"

"The general is not sure, but the general has a feeling that this is indeed not the main force of Rome!" Zhuge Liangliang nodded.

"Look again!"

Sun Quan thought for a while, and then said: "Look at the results of today's attack. The troops in the second theater are also pushing me up. I want to see if they can withstand our attack!"

"promise!"

Pang Tong personally went down to deliver the military order.

When the main force of Wu Jun's second war zone also pushed up to attack.

The whole battlefield is boiling up.

The two directions in the southeast form a semi-arc, and the city walls of more than a dozen miles have been connected to form a giant battlefield. On this battlefield, battles and fights are in full swing.

"kill!"

"Go up the ladder, rush up!"

"Tung oil, burn them to death!"

"The log, where is the log, lift it up, roll these damned demons to death!"

"I want to go up to the city wall, and anyone who stands in my way will be killed!"

"Smash stones, smash them to death, and never let them step on the city wall!"

"This is the last gate of the empire, there is only a battle to the death, and no retreat is allowed!"

"..."

In the afternoon of this day, Wu Jun had already pushed the attack on the city wall. The two sides handed over their soldiers and fought hand-to-hand, with crazy shouts one by one.

At this moment, the city wall is full of ladder hooks and arrows, and countless corpses are piled up, lying on their stomachs, with delicate blood flowing, but all of these are submerged in the Among the sounds of fighting and shouting and killing.

On the battlefield, there is only life and death, but no one will pay attention to all of this. They are already red-eyed, and now they are like beasts unleashing primitive wildness. In their eyes, there is only victory or death in battle.

During the whole day of the war, at sunset, the main force of the Wu army still failed to break through the defense above the city wall. Amidst the clanging voices of the command camp, the commanders and generals of the legions gave orders to retreat unwillingly.

On this day, although the Roman army suffered heavy casualties, they still held the outer city.

The next day, the Battle of Antioch entered the No. 12 day.

As usual, the Wu army mainly attacked the main force of the first war zone, and the main force of the second war zone was the auxiliary force. The troops used have exceeded 70, and they launched a strong and fearless attack on the city wall. This battle was even more fierce than the previous day. .

However, the army of the Roman Empire was fighting with the determination to fight to the death. Even though the battle had been bloody, they still held on to the defense line of the city wall that was about to fall.

The bloody battle entered the No.13 day of the Battle of Antioch.

On this day, Sun Quan ordered that the Central Army Corps also join the attack.

This is the point where the Wu army has exhausted most of the troops in the two major areas of the camp, including the main force from the western expedition, and the number of troops invested has reached the point of nearly 90.

The huge attack force finally crushed the walls of Antioch.

"My lord, we can't stop it!"

On the city wall, amidst the sound of fighting, Sevedis, covered in blood, hurried over and said with cupped hands: "The recruited young men are almost extinct, and more than half of our Germanic Legion has been killed. The main force of the demons has killed For an hour at most, we will lose control of the city wall."

Olvelli wore a red religious robe. On the cruel battlefield full of blood and corpses and broken arms everywhere, he didn't have a drop of blood on his body. He seemed to be a church member who was out of place on the battlefield, but His existence has always been the spirit of the Roman army's ability to hold on for several days.

"Pass down my order, all the soldiers of the army, one counts as one, and all retreat to the inner city!"

Olveri issued a military order, with a resolute smile on his lips, clasped his hands together, and said reverently: "God's instruction, we need to live and die with Antioch!"

"As ordered!"

Sevidis led the way.

"Kill in!"

"Whoever blocks me, die!"

At the same time, Ma Chao and Ju Yi led their respective legions to rush into the city unparalleled.

The Roman army retreated while fighting. In the end, Olveri and Sevedis took advantage of the city's topographical advantages to break free from the Wu army's pursuit, led the remnant soldiers, and retreated into the inner city.

The smoke of this battle began to fill the city.

In fact, the inner city of Antioch is not very large, and the city wall is only a little more than one foot high, not very generous. This is the palace city of the Seleucid palace in the past, and the scale of the left and right sides is not very large. The extension is only a few miles.

After the Wu army entered the city, they began to slow down their offensive. After all, the inner city is not as good as the outer city. The scale of this battlefield is not large. Even if the Wu army has enough troops, there are not many troops that can be invested.

When the Battle of Antioch entered No. 14 days.

Wu Jun began to attack the inner city.

Lu Bu ordered that the Parthian Legion, which suffered heavy casualties, retreat immediately. The Snow Leopard Legion and the Guanzhong Legion packed up the city wall to occupy the memory. Then the Central Legion led the Bashu Legion, the Tiger Legion, and the three major legions to attack the last line of defense in the inner city held by the Roman Army. .

At this time, Sun Quan from the camp outside the city also began to enter the city.

"Your Majesty, the city is still a bit unsafe!" Guo Jia tried to stop it. In his opinion, the son of a thousand gold would not be able to sit down. Besides, Sun Quan's body is so precious. The battlefield in the city has not been cleaned yet, and the inner city has not yet been captured. Come down, how can he let him enter the city.

"It's okay!"

Sun Quan was determined to enter the city: "The mountains of swords and seas of fire in the past can't stop my footsteps. A mere city that has already surrendered under the banner of the Great Wu Zhanqi, what is there to be afraid of!"

Under the protection of the imperial guards, the generals followed Sun Quan into the city of Antioch.
