The Three Kingdoms

Among the skeleton army, most of them are the main force composed of Westerners.

The No.80 Army has three main divisions. In addition to the first division, the commander of the third division is also a Westerner. He is a North African black from the province of Africa. His name is Ussay, which is very awkward.

Only Fei Yao, the commander of the second division, is Cao Zhen's confidant.

He naturally trusted the strength of the Second Division the most.

"Break out as soon as you break out. I was prepared in my heart. It is unlikely that I want to wipe them out. There are only a few thousand soldiers. Even if they join the main force, it will not hinder the overall situation!"

Cao Zhen shook his head when he heard the words, and did not punish his beloved general. Under the dark firelight, he narrowed his eyes slightly, and asked in a deep voice: "How is the situation ahead now?"

"These Roman pirates have united in one line. Relying on the terrain of the Tunisian Strait, their ships are connected word by word, connecting the scattered islands. It is like a warship connecting the sea. It is majestic and has a large force. Formed an incomparably strong line of defense!" Fei Yao said.

"You said that I am leading the main force to rush in suddenly. Taking advantage of this momentum, can I catch them by surprise, directly tear a hole from their direction, and drive straight in!" Cao Zhen said suddenly.

He was naturally unwilling to stop here.

If he can continue to lead his troops to attack now and catch them by surprise, maybe he can tear through the defense of the Tunis Strait and let the main force go straight in, saving a lot of time and trouble.

"Commander, if we were able to annihilate this group of remnants in one fell swoop before, we might still have a chance, but now that this group of remnants has entered the Tunis Strait, we will definitely startle them. The most important thing is that this strait is easy to defend and difficult to attack, we may not be able to please!"

Fei Yao shook his head.

"I'm too greedy!"

Cao Zhen let out a long sigh, calmed down, and let go of the small thoughts in his heart. He is not a person who bumps eggs into stones.

"Advisor Cao Yong!"

"exist!"

"Immediately and as quickly as possible, report the whole process and results of this battle to Commander Lu Meng!"

"promise!"

"All division commanders obey the orders. From now on, all divisions will step up their rectification. Within three days, the main force will arrive. After the main force is assembled, we will have no time to rest. We will definitely launch a frontal attack on the Tunis Strait!"

"promise!"

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

"how come?"

In the city of Carthage, Edward's face was pale, his pupils were slack, and he looked in disbelief at the ground covered in blood. Arnold, the kneeling love general, wailed: "I don't believe it, the Edward family spent half of their wealth to build Tens of thousands of troops, in less than one night, all dead and wounded, I can't believe it!!!"

This news was too cruel for him.

Although the Edward Pirates is just a pirate group, it has tens of thousands of troops. The warships are also naval battlefields built in the empire, comparable to the equipment of the Italian Legion. Many of the soldiers have retired from the Italian Legion. , Let the family recruit.

For this army, the Edward family has invested tens of millions of gold coins in the past few decades.

He never imagined that this force would be wiped out overnight.

He couldn't believe it.

"Arnold, you must be lying to me!" Edward's eyes were bloodshot, holding Arnold with both hands.

"My lord, the demons are coming so fast that we can't defend against them. The demon's butcher knife is raised, and we have no defense at all. In a big battle, they all died. Only I led [-] soldiers to kill them!"

Arnold said in a bleak voice.

"I do not believe!"

Edward became a little crazy, with a hideous face.

There was a bit of silence in the main hall of the entire castle. The faces of the pirate leaders were solemn and gloomy, and their eyes were flickering with horror.

"Is the devil really that powerful?"

"The strength of the Edward Pirates is superior to ours, and they were even defeated overnight!"

"This old ghost has done it to himself. We asked him to withdraw his main force back to the Tunisian waters. He insisted on being strong, but he didn't want to listen to us. Now that we have broken an arm and lost tens of thousands of main forces, how can we stop them? !"

"It's too late to say this now, we must find a way!"

"Call for reinforcements!"

"Reinforcements, where are the reinforcements!"

The leaders of these pirate groups were too lazy to worry about Edward's emotions. At this time, they were more concerned about whether they could stop Wu Jun's upcoming attack on the Tunisian Strait.

"North of us, there is a large pirate group entrenched in the fjords of Sicily!" the leader Fernando said.

"Black Pirates!"

Everyone's eyes lit up.

This is a pirate group that stands shoulder to shoulder with the Edward Pirates, and even surpasses the Edward Pirates. It has been haunting Italian waters and even collided with the Italian Legion.

"But as far as I know, Black, who has already left the Black family in Rome, has fallen out with the elder Black of the Senate, the patriarch of the Black family, Old Black. Will he go south to help us?" Someone asked in a low voice. road.

They can unite again, naturally there is a bond.

This link is the Senate.

Without the presence of members of the Senate, it would be difficult for these forces entrenched in the sea to gather together even if they were sent by the major families. After all, because of their respective interests, they have fought countless times.

"Defending the Tunis Strait is not for our own benefit, but for the empire. The empire is in a storm. I believe that Black is a person who understands the interests of the empire. He was once a heroic knight of the empire. Pirates, he still puts the empire first, and I believe he will be willing to go south for the safety of the empire!" Remo Doug, the leader of Doug's pirate group, said in a low voice.

"Hope it!"

Everyone smiled wryly, but in fact they didn't have much confidence in their hearts.

But no matter what, this battle is inevitable...

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

The main force of the Skeleton Legion led by Lu Meng had set off in less than a day after Cao Zhen's vanguard set off.

Therefore, the main force he led was actually only 150 nautical miles away from Edward Island where Cao Zhen's vanguard army was located.

When the skeleton army captured by Cao Zhen entered the first pass westward, he naturally received the news soon.

"Cao Zidan really lived up to the great trust of the commander. He commanded a sea battle for the first time. At the cost of damaging 48 battleships and [-] casualties, he disabled the Edward Pirates and wiped out tens of thousands of their vital forces. Good, good! "

In the cabin of the Skeleton building ship, Lu Meng looked at Cao Zhen's good news, laughed, and couldn't help but feel a sense of pride, and quickly issued the military order: "Send my military order, the army will speed up, and I will meet No. 80 tomorrow." army, and then the whole army immediately marched into the Tunis Strait, without this force, the Tunis Strait defense line will be much weaker, take this opportunity to break through in one fell swoop!"

"Yes!"
