The Three Kingdoms

"Your Majesty, let me tell you the truth. I am not greedy for life and afraid of death. If Your Majesty asks me to work hard, I am willing, but I must not let Your Majesty work hard, because Your Majesty is the sky of Wu. The Great Wu Dynasty is nothing but barbarians in the Western Regions, and I don't think it's worth putting Your Majesty in danger for this battle!" Zhuge Jin said frankly.

"Da Wu's sky will never fall!"

"But your majesty is a body of gold, so you can't take risks!" Zhuge Jin still didn't let go.

"No one is born noble. I know how much responsibility I have, but I will never evade it!"

"His Majesty……"

"Don't talk about it, there is nothing to discuss in this battle, I've made up my mind!"

Sun Quan said decisively, he glanced at Zhuge Jin, and then glanced at the expressions of the generals: "I am the chief general, I have the final say in this battle, and I will immediately pass on my military order, and all armies will unite to set up camp in the city of Rome, and after the soldiers approach the city , launch an attack, hit me hard, there are wolves in the front and tigers in the back, we don't want to lose, we can only fight, fight to win, Da Wu can't afford to lose this battle, before July, I want to conquer Rome City, capture Severus alive!"

"Your Majesty is wise, we will fight to the death, and we will never disappoint His Majesty's expectations!"

The generals felt Sun Quan's determination, and the fighting spirit in their hearts became firmer.

After the military meeting was over, the generals of each legion immediately went to prepare for the withdrawal of the camp.

"Your Majesty, I still think it's just in case!" Zhuge Jin looked around and said in a low voice.

"What do you want to say?" Sun Quan squinted at him.

"Your Majesty speaks well and speaks well. Now that His Majesty has made a decision, attacking the city of Rome is an unavoidable thing to back down, but we need a retreat, a retreat that allows His Majesty to leave the Roman territory alive and return to the imperial court!"

"You don't like this battle!"

"Severus worries me a lot!" Zhuge Jin said bluntly.

"Then what do you want to do?"

"Immediately issue an order to the soldiers on the western front, let them lead their troops to advance to the Italian provinces, and at the same time send an order to the Sea Eagle Legion in the Greek Sea, telling them to come west, invade Italy from Sicily, and meet us!"

"Do you think the current situation in the Italian provinces, can our news spread?"

"Your Majesty, if you don't try it, you won't get it out. Your Majesty, don't underestimate the arrangement of Jin Yiwei in the Roman Empire for several years. I think the news can still be spread. It's just a matter of time!"

"Then go ahead!" Sun Quan didn't object.

"promise!"

Zhuge Jin nodded, and immediately contacted Jin Yiwei's garrison captain.

"Your Majesty, Zhuge Ziyu's worries are not unreasonable!" Pang Tong said.

"Do you also want to persuade me to retreat?" Sun Quan frowned.

"no!"

Pang Tong smiled wryly: "Up to now, His Majesty's choice is the most correct one. The brave wins when we meet on a narrow road. If we want to be the winner, we must first be the brave. Once we break through, it will be a great setback to morale. Go half a step too late, and the whole army will be wiped out, this is not a good choice, only by going forward bravely, can we break the situation!"

"Then what do you mean?"

"This battle does not necessarily require His Majesty to personally supervise the battle!"

"Are you asking me to go back to the country first?" Sun Quan understood, with a slight sneer on the corner of his mouth: "Are you just a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death?"

"What kind of person is Your Majesty? I have been following you for a long time, so I don't know, but..."

"No buts!"

Sun Quan raised his head, his eyes were sharp and indifferent, and he interrupted Pang Tong directly, saying: "This battle is indispensable for me. I don't want to lose this battle without a fight. If because of my cowardice, Da Wu With millions of soldiers buried in Rome, my life would be worse than death!"

The method Pang Tong said is a good one. Da Wu still has some foundations in the Roman Empire for many years, and he has figured out a lot of Roman terrain. Taking the southern line, they can get out of the encirclement and return safely to the territory controlled by Wu.

But since then, the main force of the Wu army has been in trouble.

At such a critical juncture, Wu's army was not only trapped in a heavy siege, but its strength would definitely be inferior to that of Rome. Once it was discovered that the commander had fled, the army's morale would be broken. At that time, it would be defeated without a fight, and it was possible to be completely annihilated.

This is something Sun Quan will never face.

"I understand!" Pang Tong nodded, he knew Sun Quan's temper, and the things he decided could not be changed even if the sky fell.

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

Tianquan eight years, June [-]th.

early morning.

At the moment when the sun rose, the left and right vanguards of the Wu army, the Parthian army led by Ma Chao and the Xiongnu army led by Jia Xu entered the northwest suburb of Rome at the same time.

When the golden dragon flag marking the Great Wu Dynasty was flying in the wind under the city of Rome.

The decisive battle between the Great Wu Dynasty and the Roman Empire began...

[Text 510, Chapter [-], the last blow, one blow five]

City of Rome.

Northwest suburbs.

The Parthian Army of the Wu Army and the Xiongnu Army jointly marched, criss-crossed on both sides in the northwest, and the battle formation was more than ten miles. The battle flags were overwhelming, criss-crossing, as if forming a powerful momentum, directly pressing on the city of Rome.

"Crossing the river now?"

The legion commanders of the two armies rode their horses in front of the Tiber River, looking at the opposite bank. Ma Chao's tiger eyes flashed with fierce fighting intent, and he spoke indifferently.

"Not urgent!"

Jia Xu was very steady.

Sun Quan sent the combination of Ma Chao and Jia Xu as the vanguard to enter the city of Rome first, just to make their two personalities complement each other.

Ma Chao is so brave.

Jia Xu was extremely calm.

As long as the two can sincerely cooperate, a super combination of offense and defense will be formed between the two armies.

Jia Xu looked at the flow of the Tiber River. It rains a lot in summer, and the river is a little anxious. He said softly, "It's not difficult for us to build a pontoon bridge to cross the river, but this is the capital of the Roman Empire after all. This river is the first line of defense of the Roman Empire, and the Romans will not let us break through it so easily!"

The Wu army has a complete range of arms, and the development of engineers is also very rapid. It is not difficult to build a pontoon bridge to cross the Tiber River and attack the city of Rome.

But Jia Xu knew very well that at this moment, the city of Rome is a dangerous battlefield, and any decision needs to be careful, especially the terrain around the city of Rome.

Judging from the data, the city of Rome is a very strange city, with mountains and the sea, the south is the coast, and the east, west and north are surrounded by hills. It is also called the city of seven hills. It is high, but it is very dense. It is not difficult to hide the strength of the troops.

"Then we just wait like this?" Ma Chao frowned: "Your Majesty sent us the vanguard to come, nothing more than to clean up the perimeter first and carry out the main attack."
