The Three Kingdoms

"Of course not waiting!"

Jia Xu looked up, glanced at the left and right surroundings, and said: "If you want to attack the city of Rome, standing firm is the first step. Only with a firm foothold can we attack the city of Rome, and we must enter the city of Rome before the main force enters the city. Build a strong camp and prepare for defense, and we also sent scouts to clean up the surroundings to ensure that there are no ambushes around us!"

It is not a day or two to build a camp for an army of more than one million.

In addition, they are now being built under the noses of the Roman army.

There is also a problem of building siege equipment.

These are all problems that their vanguard should solve, and they can't wait until the main force enters the city of Rome before wasting time.

Wu Jun didn't have much time to attack the city.

It is already June now, and once it comes to August, the food and grass stored by Wu Jun will be exhausted, which will be the most difficult and difficult days for Wu Jun.

So Wu Jun must race against time.

"I'm afraid the Roman army won't let us gain a firm foothold under the city so easily!" Ma Chao looked at the east bank of the Tiber River, where camps were faintly standing, and said, "Once we build camps, we will have no time to defend them." If you do something, you will definitely be attacked by them!"

"It depends on Commander Ma. If they come to attack us, it's better than us to attack them!"

"indeed!"

When Ma Chao heard this, his eyes lit up.

Wu Jun is now exhausted, and it is really difficult to take the initiative to attack.

But the defense on the spot is still a bit sure.

Jia Xu smiled and said, "My Huns are in charge of setting up camps and building siege equipment, and the rest will be handed over to the Parthian Army!"

"rest assured!"

Ma Chao nodded, and a cold smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "As long as they dare to cross the river, I will definitely let them have a profound experience, and even make them dare not step across it easily in the next five days." This river is half a step!"

"It seems that you already have an idea!"

"Lend me all the cavalry under your command, and I will be sure enough to deal with them!"

"no problem!"

With the combination of the commanders of the two major legions, the soldiers under the command of the Parthian Legion and the Hun Legion began to move frequently.

"Where are we camping?"

The two chiefs of staff of the two legions met and discussed the matter of camping in the local area.

Where you camp is important.

The camp they need to build is not a temporary camp. This battle may turn into a war of attrition. The camp must be strong and stable, and the main force cannot be exposed to the danger of being attacked all the time.

To build such a main camp, the terrain is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and there needs to be sufficient water sources. The most important thing is to have a broad vision and be able to face the city of Rome.

Yang Xiu, chief of staff of the Xiongnu Legion, inspected the surrounding terrain, and finally pointed to a place: "Chief of Staff Yan, why don't we set up camp here, our Huns Legion is in the south, and your Parthian Legion is in the north, how about it?"

There is a plain on the northwest outskirts of the city of Rome. The terrain is steep. It is leaning against a hill that is not very high. There are many trees on the hill. A perfect place to build a camp.

Before the war, this place was a well-known place in Rome, named Hadrian's Arena, which is quite the same as the Great Arena in Rome, but it was built during the reign of Emperor Hadrian .

However, since the Roman Civil War started, the place has been turned into ruins due to the war.

But it's a good place to camp.

"Then here!"

Yan Xing nodded and said.

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

When the Wu army began to build camps in full swing, on the east bank of the Tiber River, the remnants of the three Roman armies withdrawn from the front line, the Crusaders, the Gauls, and the Parthians were discussing stealing camps.

"These oriental demons are too arrogant. They built camps under our noses without any scruples, and they didn't take us seriously!"

The chief consul of the Parthian Legion is Moduta, a knight from the Knights Templar. In the Knights Templar, he is known as a fierce general second only to Chaks, with a fiery personality and fierce combat.

He began to rule the legion in the midst of the Knights Templar exchanging blood with the Parthian legion.

However, after a year of integration, after many battles with the Eastern Devils, he took the lead every time, which was admirable to the soldiers under his command. He had already formed a group with the soldiers of the Parthian Army. Wisdom is like an arm.

"Why don't we take the initiative!"

Vickers' eyes were like lightning, with murderous intent.

After withdrawing from the city of Milan, he has always been unwilling. Now that he has the opportunity to fight back, he is naturally moved.

"The spies are here to report that only the vanguard of the demons entered the suburban plain this time. It is estimated that their strength is around 10,000+. Their main force is still behind. Maybe we can eat this vanguard!"

Vickers analyzed: "Once we can eat this vanguard, it will definitely be a serious setback for the main force of the demons, and it will damage their morale!"

"You still need to ask His Majesty for instructions on this matter!"

When Dio heard this, he was a little moved, but with a calm personality, he should be more cautious.

The Roman Guards Legion, Iron Blood Legion, and Apollo Legion are all stationed in the city now, and their three soldiers and horses withdrawn from the front line actively guard the outside of the city, blocking the Tiber River, the outermost line of defense in Rome.

Once so many troops are mobilized to cross the river and attack the demon vanguard, it will inevitably attract the attention of the city, and even affect the overall defense of the city. He thinks that Severus needs to give an order in person.

When Vickers and Moduta heard this, their eyes were fixed on Dio.

"Dio, you don't want to take revenge!"

"Dio, the opportunity is rare, and the speed of the army is precious!"

Although the two did not speak, their eyes conveyed the meaning.

"All right!"

Dio smiled wryly. These two demons have been defeated in successive battles so far, and they are already red-eyed. Whoever blocks them at this time is their enemy, but he still feels that he should be more cautious: "After nightfall We are taking action, crossing the river quickly, attacking quickly, and making quick decisions, and if anything happens, we will retreat immediately. Just in case, we can only send out two legions, leaving one legion to respond on the east bank!"

"it is good!"

Vickers and Moduta spoke directly: "We will attack directly, and the Crusaders will respond from behind!"

"can!"

Although Dio also wanted to deal a severe blow to the demon vanguard, but at this time he was very considerate of the overall situation.
