The Three Kingdoms

A total of 10,000+ Gaul elite main forces lost 10,000 to [-] soldiers in this battle, and now there are only [-]+ remnants left. Facing such a big defeat, the main force has to retreat, which makes the soldiers in the army Morale is low, and the fear of demons is growing.

This made them feel a little ashamed.

"I understand what you said, why don't I want to fight to the death with these demons from the East!"

Vix reined in his horse, with a shameful coldness flashing in his eyes: "If I can risk my life to destroy the main force of the demons in this city of Milan, I will not waste my life, but I can't, at least now no!"

This Battle of Milan City was his second defeat and escape after Vickers took charge of the Gaul Legion after the Battle of Hadrian's Great Wall.

He had nothing to say about the failure of the Battle of Hadrian's Great Wall that year. It was to allow the Wu army's third theater to break into the city, and they also fought to the end during the war. Their strength was not as good as others, and they were able to escape the main force Already good.

But this time the battle...

Wu Jun used tricks to break through the city, and Wu Jun's second war zone relied on a scheming move, real and fake attacks, coupled with the heavy rain under the sky, broke into the city without any effort, and destroyed him The strength of the Second Army Corps under his command made him feel a little uncomfortable.

If he can, he is really willing to use all the soldiers of the entire Gaul Legion to fight to the death with the Eastern Devil directly opposite here in the city of Milan. Even if the entire army is wiped out in the end, he will bite the main force of the devil fiercely.

But at this time Severus suddenly came with an order.

In Vickers' view, Severus' order came at the wrong time.

However, at this critical moment, he must obey all orders of Severus anyway, and he cannot let the empire's jihad with all its strength be negligent because of his persistence.

"Why?" The legion commanders were a little puzzled when they heard this.

"Your Majesty has ordered that our Gaul Legion must withdraw from Milan, abandon Milan, concentrate the main force and return to Rome, and prepare for the final decisive battle with the devil!"

Vickers took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "We are Roman warriors and soldiers of the Empire, so we must obey His Majesty's orders. Even if we are unwilling, we must take care of the overall situation. You must take care of this matter. Soldiers, don't want any problems with the soldiers of the Gallic Legion!"

"Yes!"

Several legion commanders immediately understood and nodded quickly.

"Order all the legions to march urgently, speed up, and rush to the city of Rome as quickly as possible, and hurry up to organize and prepare for the battle. Rome, this is the capital of the empire, and it is also the battlefield where we and the devil will finally fight. This is related to the future of the empire. We can die on the battlefield, but we cannot shame the empire, nor allow our descendants to be enslaved by demons, so we must go all out in this battle!"

Vickers breathed a sigh of relief and quickly ordered.

"The last will obey!"

The three legion commanders looked at each other with solemn expressions. They all felt the tension and depression before the storm.

Vickers turned his head again, looking at the city of Milan, which was gradually disappearing from his eyes and finally completely invisible. There was a suppressed battle in his heart, and he whispered secretly: "Demons from the east, come on, I am in Rome. The city is waiting for your arrival, this time, either you die or I die!"

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

On June [-]th, the second war zone of the Wu army was capturing the city of Milan, and quickly dispatched troops to pursue the Gallic army, opening up the road from the southern line to the city of Rome, driving straight into the hinterland of the Italian province.

On June [-]th, the first battle zone, the main force of the western expedition of the Wu army, joined the Central Army to attack and defeated the Roman army stationed in Bologna. The Crusaders and the Parthian army retreated all the way south, and the Wu army also broke through the final pass into the city of Rome from the north. .

On June [-], the two main forces of the Wu army's western expedition marched side by side and joined forces in the city of Florence.

The city of Florence, which is an important economic city where the provinces of Italy meet the south and the north, was built in the era of Caesar of the Roman Republic, and it is only [-] miles away from the imperial capital of Rome. A bridgehead.

After the main forces of the Western Expedition Army and the two war zones smashed the city of Florence and gathered, they quickly formed a huge suppression on the city of Rome, the capital of the Roman Empire, as if a black cloud was pressing on the sky of the city of Rome.

As long as this "dark cloud" is willing, it can rain at any time and directly wash away the city of Rome.

However, Wu Jun, who easily broke through the resistance of the Roman army, did not feel the joy of victory at this moment. On the contrary, many generals felt a deep crisis coming from the bottom of their hearts.

The easier it is, the more it shows that the city of Rome is fully prepared for the battle.

……

outside of Florence.

Wu Jun camp.

Chinese Imperial Tent,

Sun Quan wore a brocade robe with dragon patterns and a jade crown on his head. He stood in front of a huge strategic deployment map for advancing troops hanging on the screen. Lock, with some hesitation between his expressions.

Standing behind him is the command headquarters composed of ministers of the military aircraft department, the first theater command, the second theater command, the central army headquarters, and the generals of the army commander and army chief of staff all stood solemnly.

"His Majesty!"

Pang Tong took a step up and broke the silence: "This time the Roman army suddenly gave up their defense and obviously withdrew their troops. There is no doubt about that!"

The southern and northern fronts were breached at the same time. Even a fool would understand that the Roman Legion had already abandoned the outer battlefields in Italy. It had only one purpose, to put the main battlefield in the city of Rome.

"I know!"

Sun Quan stopped, with a stern smile on the corner of his mouth: "Severus voluntarily gave up the peripheral block to provoke us. At this time, all the conspiracies and tricks have been exposed to the sun, and we can clearly understand the ambush he arranged. , He will not deliberately conceal it anymore, the two sides are fighting for courage and determination, he let us have the courage to come to the city, and we can either go to the city and die, or retreat immediately and survive without arms!"

Strategic choices are always difficult.

Even if he had already made the final choice, Sun Quan would still hold a skeptical attitude towards his choice all the time in his heart.

Standing in his position, the so-called choice is just a word.

But for the millions of soldiers of Great Wu, that is the choice of life.

This is something that should not be taken lightly.

"Severus is so courageous that he dared to provoke us!" Lu Bu sneered darkly: "The city of Rome is strong, can it stop our artillery fire?"

The red cannon is Wu Jun's last hole card.

It is also one of the reasons why Wu Jun wanted to break through the city of Rome at all costs even though he already knew that he was in a tight siege.

"In today's situation, the enemy is dark and we are clear, the enemy is strong and we are weak, and we are still surrounded. We must not underestimate them. Since they chose the city of Rome as the battlefield, it shows that they have some confidence!"

Guo Jia opened his mouth and analyzed in detail: "Severus can arrange a suspended animation, and can also resolutely give up Olvelli's life, and also lure us into being fooled. He is definitely a cunning and ruthless hero. He can In order to win, at all costs, that is to say, he has the determination to fight us hard!"

this point is very important.

Fighting desperately on the battlefield depends on who is more determined and courageous, and can fight to the end.

"so what?"

Pan Feng's voice was like thunder: "He dares to fight, but we don't dare to fight!"

"We can fight for our lives, but we cannot fight for His Majesty's life!" Zhuge Jin's words silenced all the generals in the imperial tent.

They all killed two generals from the mountain of blood and swords, and they would fight desperately on the battlefield without flinching.

But Sun Quan is now with them, and they are somewhat wary.

"Ziyu!" Sun Quan glared angrily upon hearing this.
