The Three Kingdoms

Zang Ba's eyes like copper bells shone sharply.

Ever since his negligence in the Battle of Hadrian's Great Wall led to a slight defeat in the entire battle situation, he has been suffocating in his heart.

[Chapter 490 of the main text is coming to the Alps]

The Strait of Dover, also known as the Strait of Calais.

In later generations, this strait was part of the English Channel, close to the North Sea, separated by a natural strait between Britain and France in later generations, but in the era of the Roman Empire, it belongs to the provinces of Britain and Gaul a natural barrier between them.

Although the territory of the Roman Empire has extended into the British province, the British province is still hanging outside the Roman Empire, and its ruling power is very weak. The real northwest border of the Roman Empire is still the Gaul province.

This barrier is a natural barrier for the Celtic barbarians in Britain or the Roman Empire. Whether it is the Roman army going north from the Gaul province or the barbarian army going south from the British province, it must pass through here.

The length of this strait is more than [-] kilometers, nearly [-] to [-] miles, and the waves are overwhelming. How to cross the sea is the most difficult part of this barrier.

"kill!"

"dash forward!"

"Lie Yanerlang, land, land!"

"Log in at any cost!"

"Kill me hard, kill me!"

"The soldiers in front lead the way, the soldiers in the back follow up, and rush up for me too!"

However, in this strait, a great battle was in full swing. Wu Jun's Jiangdong Legion had retreated to the British Province to rest, and the more powerful Flame Legion began to charge and land on the coast that had already been attacked once.

The sound of shouting, fighting, and the sound of golden horses and iron horses echoed constantly above the sky of this strait.

"Warriors of the Empire, demons are not to be feared, kill them against me!"

"Defend our home, kill these demons, kill! kill! kill!"

"They're coming up, archers, get on your bows and shoot 'em!"

"No, my God, the gap has already been opened by the demons, we have to block it, fight for the empire, fight for God, fight for honor, kill!"

The Roman army was a young and strong army that had never experienced war. Although these young and strong troops were not as good as the Wu army's elite soldiers in terms of combat effectiveness and psychological quality, and even had a difference of hundreds of thousands of miles, they relied on their quantitative supplements and defense. One side's geographical advantage, on the contrary, was inseparable from the attacking Wu Jun's killing.

Not far from this strait battlefield, there is a huge castle standing high.

This castle is called Calais Castle, which is the closest port in the entire Gaul province to the British province. In the past, it was a central fortress to defend the British barbarians from going south, and now it has become the Roman central command.

At the highest place of the castle, gusts of sea wind roared in, and a group of governors and vice-governors gathered together against the sea wind, each of them carefully observing the battle in full swing on the coastal battlefield ahead.

Among them was a tall, burly middle-aged Gaul with blond hair and blue eyes, who stood out very conspicuously. All the governors centered on him, as if he was born to be the superior.

This Gaul is called Sergey Ross.

He was governor of the province of Gaul.

He is also the head of the Ross family, the largest and most powerful family in the northwest of the Roman Empire.

The Ross family is the most powerful and glorious nobleman in the Gaul province. Hundreds of years ago when Caesar conquered Gaul, the first tribe to surrender to Rome was the Ross tribe, so the Ross family became a nobleman of the empire. As the first The Gaul nobles who surrendered to the Roman Empire, the Ross family has been reused by the Roman Empire over the years.

At the beginning of the civil strife in the empire, the Ross family had the ability to fight for the throne, but in the end Sergei gave up. Not only that, but also sent troops to assist Severus, defeating Severus' powerful opponent at that time, Albinus, and let Severus Lu seized the Roman world.

Therefore, the Ross family is even more highly valued by Severus.

The Gaul province has guarded the northwest of the empire for a long time. Sergey, the governor of the Gaul province, is naturally a general. He has led the army three times against the Germans in the northeast and the Celts in the northwest.

When the Gaul Legion was defeated and retreated into the Gaul province, he had already prepared himself, and the quiet Gaul was about to fall into the smoke of war.

Sure enough, within a year, the war came.

When the warships of the Wu army crossed the sea and hundreds of thousands of troops lined up on the coast, Sergey also showed the decision of the imperial generals. He united several provinces in the north, recruited 30 young men at one go, and decided to stick to the Gaul province.

"My lord Ross, why didn't the imperial army show up?" Looking at the bloody battle on the battlefield, Andrew, the somewhat gentle Governor of Belichka Province, frowned slightly.

Today's soldiers on the battlefield are all young soldiers and slave soldiers and serf soldiers conscripted from the major provinces.

Compared with the elite knights of the empire, the difference in combat power is not 01:30 points.

Although this time they united and recruited a total of 30 soldiers and horses, under the current 10,000-day battle, the Wu army against [-]+ attacks is at a disadvantage, with heavy casualties, and almost broke through the coast defense several times. , This made the governors of several provinces in the west of the empire a little uneasy.

"The armies of the Empire are fighting for the Empire!"

Sergey looked calm and stared ahead: "I know you all feel sorry for your private soldiers, but now that the empire is in the midst of life and death, for the sake of the overall situation, some interests must be sacrificed, and the Ross guards of my Ross family will come out in full force. Come out, for the Gaul province, for the territory of the empire, I, Sergey, am willing to fight to the death!"

One word from Sergey is the ultimate morale booster.

In the West, every family has a castle, a manor, and its own private soldiers. These private soldiers are legal under the law of the empire.

Sergey took out all the private soldiers of the Ross family, and for the governors of these princes, he set an example.

"Fight to the death!"

"Fight to the death!"

Several governors instantly strengthened their determination.

The battle on the coast has entered into a brutal offensive and defensive battle...

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

On April [-], the main force of the Wu army's westward expedition passed through the province of Pannonia with difficulty and entered the province of Nolik under a small harassment battle.

To the east of the province of Norik is Pannonia, to the north is the northern frontier of the empire, to the northwest is the province of Lycia, and the southwest corner is the northern part of the Italian province that enters the Alps.

This province is actually not big, but it has a large population, and it is an Italian province close to the center of the empire. The people's sense of belonging to the empire is absolute.

Therefore, the march of Wu Jun's millions of main forces became even more difficult.

After encountering scattered guerrilla soldiers and horses for several days in a row, Sun Quan also became a little angry. He decided to clean up these peasant soldiers who hindered his progress.

On a plain named Kerla Mountain in the east of Norik Province, the army camped and rested for five days.

During these five days, Sun Quan dispatched elite cavalry and began to clean up the surrounding Romans.

A series of killings began to erupt.

Without the elite imperial army, the guerrilla soldiers and horses formed in these local cities did not have the ability of the great men more than 1000 years later, so they were naturally killed by the elite cavalry of the Wu army.

"Your Majesty, we have dispersed all the troops formed within a hundred li radius!"

"It's time to kill their flames!"
