The Three Kingdoms

"Read!"

Sun Quan's eyes were calm.

"No!" Pang Tong spread out the report and began to read in detail: "On February 25th, Lu Meng led the Skeleton Army to break through the blockade of the Tunis Strait, annihilated countless Roman pirate groups, and then entered the waters of Africa. On the night of the 28th, he personally led the soldiers of the three armies of the Skeleton Army, nearly 28 main forces, and landed in the province of Africa!"

"On March [-], Lu Meng defeated the [-] defenders of Africa and captured the province of Africa, thereby cutting off the retreat of the four major provinces and coalition forces on the southern line of the Roman army, blocking the four provinces and coalition forces before the province of Cyrenaica. middle!"

"On March [-]th, Astor, the commander of the coalition forces of the four major provinces of the Roman Army, led his troops to break through the encirclement!"

"On March [-]th, under the attack of the main force of the fourth war zone led by Commander Zhao and Lu Meng's forces, Astor was defeated in less than three days, and led [-] remnant soldiers to escape to the barren land to the south! "

"On March [-]th, the main force of the fourth war zone crossed the barrier of the Libyan desert, completely penetrated the province of Cyrenaica, and also captured the province of Africa, and will soon push to the province of Numidia. At most April, he will be able to lead the army Entering Mauritania, as long as he goes north smoothly, he will be able to join the third war zone!"

Pang Tong read it carefully.

Sun Quan also listened very carefully. He put down a memorial in his hand, and tapped his fingers on the table lightly. The rhythm of his voice was like the thoughts rolling in his mind. After a while, he said: "The breakthrough on the southern line is very important. For us, it is very timely, but we cannot ignore the remnant soldiers that have not been wiped out. Also, we must pay close attention to the matter of joining forces between the two war zones. Only the joint forces of the third war zone and the fourth war zone will have enough troops to contain Rome. The Western Forces of the Empire!"

"I will immediately convey His Majesty's will to the commanders of the two war zones!" Pang Tong nodded.

"Lv Meng's Skeleton Legion is newly formed and has such fighting power. I feel comforted!" Sun Quan narrowed his eyes slightly, his amber eyes were quite interesting and said: "Lv Ziming has a skill in fighting, he is steady but aggressive. , I feel more and more that he is worthy of a great job, let him concurrently serve as the deputy commander of the fourth theater, and assist Zhao Yun in commanding the mobilization of troops in the entire theater together with Han Dang Luxun!"

"promise!"

Pang Tong's eyes flashed in surprise, but he still nodded in acceptance.

If it is just a deputy commander, it is not as good as a legion commander, but if a legion commander is also the deputy commander, then the power is doubled. When necessary, the deputy commander has the authority to mobilize the troops of other legions to fight.

With Sun Quan's words, Lu Meng has gained half a level again.

As a handsome young talent during the Western Expedition to Rome, Lu Meng has completed his accumulation, and he has started to take off by leaps and bounds, and will soon become the existence of those giants in the side-by-side army.

After the breakthrough in the Southern Front Campaign, Sun Quan lost his previous cautiousness and began to lead the main force to drive straight in.

On March [-], the main force of the Wu army's western expedition left the province of Thrace and entered the province of Mercia.

Marching in the province of Mercia, the Wu army began to encounter various troubles.

The province of Mercia also has no main forces, but it has been seriously assimilated by the Roman spirit, and almost all the people have become soldiers. Although they do not have the ability to confront the main force of the Wu army, there have been many self-organized troops harassing from the flanks.

"Made, burn my food and grass, court death!"

"Damn, dig a hole to be independent, can these barbarians have better tricks?"

"What, the river bridge is broken, it will take two days to repair, who did it, the people in the town, damn it!"

"..."

Facing the interception of such minor harassment from the Mercians, all the generals of the Wu army could not suppress their anger. Some people even wanted to send troops to massacre the city under the rage, killing a man's head and blood flowing into a river, so as to deter the people.

"Let them delay so much, we can only walk fifty miles a day, what a waste!"

"Tu, it's hard to suppress evil people without killing!"

"Whoever hinders my army from marching on Rome shall kill his whole family!"

The clamor of Wu Jun's killing billows resounded among the millions of troops, but many soldiers responded.

But Sun Quan suppressed the matter.

"Pass down my imperial decree, don't pay attention to these trivial attacks, the main force will continue to advance, don't attack the city, don't massacre the town, if the mountain collapses, the mountain will be opened, and the bridge will be broken and built!" Sun Quan was very gentle in the face of this kind of harassment. Many generals in the army did not know him.

Although the generals were somewhat unwilling, since Sun Quan had the order, they still held their noses and led the march.

In fact, Sun Quan was also angry if he liked that.

He understands the force and danger of this guerrilla combat method better than anyone else, but what can he do now?

Is it really a massacre?

this will not work.

In history, the Japanese slaughtered Nanjing, the capital of the Republic of China, for nothing more than wanting to conquer the descendants of the Yan and Huang Dynasties, but they failed to conquer the Chinese in the end, and instead aroused the blood of the Chinese.

Massacre is the worst method.

It is also the most unpopular method.

Sun Quan can only endure now.

Under this kind of interception by all the people, the million soldiers of the main force of the Wu army's western expedition could only advance slowly at the speed of a tortoise.

On March 25, after ten days of difficult marching, the main force of the Wu army's westward expedition crossed the Balkan Mountains and entered the western part of the province of Mercia.

On March 29, the main force of the Wu army's western expedition came to the south bank of the Danube River, where the three major provinces of Pannonia and the province of Mercia met.

"Is this the Danube in the third century?"

Sun Quan stood on the bank of the rolling river, staring at the north bank, with a smile on his lips.

Before the seventh century AD, the Danube was named the Ister River. After the Roman Empire conquered the northern border, it was renamed the Danubes River, or the Danube for short.

It is the second longest river in Western Europe.

In this era, the Danube was a long river that defended the northern frontier of the Roman Empire.

"Let Lu Bu see me!"

"promise!"

"Your Majesty!" Lu Buce came over immediately, "Lu Bu is here to wait for orders, please give orders from Your Majesty!"

"Follow me first, pass on my order, the army will set up camp here and rest for three days!" Sun Quan thought for a while, and said: "Being harassed by guerrillas during this period, everyone is gritting their teeth and marching. In fact, they are exhausted. Unbearable, you must take a good rest before you can move on!"

Sharpening knives does not miss woodcutters.

Although Sun Quan also wanted to kill Rome in one breath.

But he had to ensure that the soldiers under his command charged in with an aura of recharging their energy.

"promise!"

Lu Bu nodded.

The night was dark.

In a simple camp, Sun Quan came out, walked up to the river bank, looked at the river under the night, and suddenly became much calmer in his heart: "Severus, if you don't die, you are a good opponent, what a pity Well, this world belongs to my descendants after all..."

However, Sun Quan didn't know that at this moment, in the grass on the north bank of the Danube, there were more than a dozen pairs of eyes staring at this military camp that had just been established.
