The Three Kingdoms

It was also the only strategy Lu Meng could think of to break out of the siege.

When the time comes, the Thunderbolts and kerosene in the concentrated army will be able to approach them and set fire to the boat, breaking through the surrounding encirclement in one fell swoop, killing them, and driving straight into the Strait of Gibraltar.

But this strategy requires Cao Zhen's cooperation.

Among many Western generals, Cao Zhen is an outsider, and Cao Zhen is the commander of the [-]th Army, one of the five major generals under Lu Meng's command, and his weight is sufficient.

"dare!"

Cao Zhen answered with one word.

"Aren't you afraid that I'll take the opportunity to get rid of you?" Lu Mengruo asked with a strange smile.

"Not afraid!"

Cao Zhen also smiled: "Everyone has selfishness, maybe the commander will think that His Majesty let me join the Skeleton Army to stare at you, guard against you, and want to get rid of me. No, His Majesty will not value you so much, let you command the No.16 Army of Wu Army!"

"Ha ha!"

Lu Meng laughed: "That's right, Your Majesty can still trust me, why can't I trust you? The reason why I use you this time is because your identity is the most suitable. Among the skeleton army, they are all the ones I have fought in the past. The old troops in the Roman sea area have already been trained, and you are the only new general!"

"I've come to understand what the Commander means, but even so, will we gain their trust?"

Cao Zhen thought about it, but was a little worried: "Actually, we only need to choose to retreat to the African waters. After regrouping, we can still deal with them slowly. The forces surrounding us outside are not in the same place, otherwise our entire army would have been wiped out!"

Surrounding their fleet outside, the major pirate regiments in the western waters gathered forces, but they were not in the same place, so there were gaps in the siege, which allowed the Skeleton Legion to preserve a lot of vitality.

Otherwise, with their previous morale and strength, it would be enough to destroy the entire skeleton army.

"Now we can only gamble, as long as there is a chance, we can rush out, and we must rush out!"

Lu Meng's face became serious: "Time is waiting for me. If possible, I would also like to return to the African waters, but I just received news that the commander-in-chief's cross-sea campaign has failed. If we cannot reinforce, the commander-in-chief's main force can only be blocked In the sea area of ​​Gibraltar, the strategy of joining forces in the west will also encounter setbacks, and I will die without regret, but I will never allow the strategy of joining forces in the west to fail, this is related to whether your majesty can take the city of Rome!"

[The first thousand and 490 chapters of the main text, the fourth chapter of the Western Conference]

The sun rises in the east, a round of morning sun rises, and the sun is shining brightly.

Among the straits.

The battleships of the Skeleton Legion form a front and rear defensive formation and park in the middle. The decks of these warships have been connected, forming a huge fortress at sea.

"We are doomed in this battle!"

"Don't talk nonsense, disturbing the morale of the army will be dealt with by the military law. I believe that Master Poseidon, Master Poseidon will get along with each other and break the situation!"

"It's easy to say, the Black Pirates, the Robert Pirates, and the Freed Pirates are besieging us now. They are the three strongest pirate groups in the west, and they have assembled dozens of pirate groups. Five or six thousand The warships have hundreds of thousands of troops, several times that of ours, how can we fight!"

"It's all the commander-in-chief's fault. If he hadn't ordered us to enter the Strait of Gibraltar, how could we be besieged here!"

"If you want me to say, Master Poseidon should immediately order us to break out from the rear and return to the African Sea!"

"Military orders are like mountains, do you think we are still pirates, we are now soldiers of the Wu army!"

"We are not from Wu, so why do we mention the Wu Empire and fight!"

"..."

Facing the siege of hundreds of thousands of troops, the morale of the Skeleton Legion was low. They began to complain to each other and to the military order of Zhao Zilong, the commander-in-chief of the fourth theater.

Most of the soldiers of the Skeleton Legion are composed of pirates in the Roman sea.

They come from the west, and they don't recognize the Great Wu Dynasty in the east. They only recognize Lu Meng, the chief general.

When they encountered a life-and-death crisis, the resentment that had been suppressed before would naturally erupt.

As this resentment spread, the morale of the Skeleton Legion was getting lower and lower.

On the deck of the Skull.

Cao Zhen walked quickly, rushing towards the cabin, and at this time a Roman came out of the cabin, and the two collided. Although Cao Zhen was good at martial arts, he still staggered when facing this burly Roman.

"roll!"

Cao Zhen drank coldly.

"Commander Cao, why are you acting presumptuously on the Skeleton?" Roman Davis, a division commander under the command of the 77th Army, was tall and tall, standing like a mountain, looking down at Cao Zhen with green eyes, and said contemptuously.

He speaks Chinese fluently, and he is very familiar with the tone of Wu people's speech, imitating it very arrogantly.

"Humph!"

Cao Zhen sneered: "I am a soldier of the Great Wu. You are just mere pirates. What qualifications do you have to be compared with me? If your Majesty is not kind enough to take you in as generals, I will drive you all to death. Westerners can't be trusted!"

"Bastard!"

Davis has a bad temper, which is well known in the Skeleton Army. He was furious and stepped forward: "We have worked so hard to build the Skeleton Army. You are a mere outsider who dares to point fingers, and you are looking for death!"

He punched Cao Zhen hard.

Cao Zhen punched Davis backhand.

"It's up!"

"Commander Cao of the No.80 Army and Master Poseidon fought Davis!"

"I heard that Commander Cao is here to seize power, it seems that he is looking for faults!"

"Only by him, I only obey Master Poseidon in the Skeleton Army!"

The surrounding generals gathered around and discussed in whispers.

"what happened?"

Lu Meng and several army commanders and army chiefs of staff were discussing the military situation in the command cabin, when they heard the noise outside, they rushed out with them.

"Reporting to Commander, Commander Cao and Commander Davis suddenly quarreled for some reason, and now they are still fighting, and we dare not step forward to separate!"

A soldier guarding the deck answered.

"Damn things!"

Lu Meng was furious, and pulled out the long sword in his hand with his backhand. The sword was full of cold light, and it lay directly in the middle, directly separating the two generals who were in the scuffle: "The battle to break out is imminent, and this commander is thinking about how to boost the morale of the army. But they are killing each other, if you want to seek death, I will kill you with one sword right now!"

"The general knows his mistake, please calm down, Commander!"

Cao Zhen and Davis shuddered and quickly bowed their heads and knelt down.

"I don't ask right or wrong about today's matter, but Davis, as the commander, you have committed the following crimes and led the eighty sticks yourself!"
