The Three Kingdoms

Between him and the Apollo Legion is a chain defense.

If the upstream battlefield cannot be defended and the demons cross the river, then sooner or later the downstream will not be able to stop it, and will even be surrounded by the Wu army who has captured the upstream, completely burying this force on the Tiber River.

So when he saw that the situation was not good, he made a decisive decision and immediately chose to withdraw his troops, save his troops, and withdraw to the city.

"Macolinus, thank you for coming to reinforce me regardless of previous suspicions, but the Apollo Legion is hopeless, you should withdraw the Sierra Iron Blood Legion to the city immediately!"

Sextu looked at Macrinus who was coming in a hurry, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and said in a peaceful voice: "I will lead the remnants to cover the withdrawal of the Iron Blood Legion!"

"Sextu?"

Macrinus was a little surprised when he heard this.

Sextu and him have been fighting for many years, and before that, they fought fiercely and bloody battles endlessly, but now he is willing to cover the retreat of the Iron Blood Legion?

"The main force of the demons has already crossed the Tiber River. Since you have given up the downstream battlefield, it is inevitable to attack from both sides. Even if we want to withdraw now, maybe we have already been attacked by them before returning to the city." Eighty-eight!"

Sextu raised his head, looked at the lost river bank position in front of him, and saw the figures of demons approaching like wolves and tigers. He gritted his teeth and said hard, "If there must be one person who has to die, it can only be I am Sextu, not you Macrinus, the empire needs you, the future Roman emperor needs a confidant general!"

"I'm not admitting defeat, but because...in the end, Emperor Severus chose Caracalla instead of Geta!"

When Macrinus heard this, he understood, and his face was a little bitter.

In fact, there is not much conflict between him and Sextu, but because the princes supported by the two sides are different, there have been some embarrassments and disputes over the years.

In the end it was Caracalla who became the successor.

Then Sextu, who has been unconditionally supporting Geta before, is a loser.

Sextu knew that if it wasn't for the invasion of demons that plunged the empire into dire straits, if it wasn't for the fact that he was still in control of the Apollo Legion, Severus would have already beheaded him to sacrifice the flag, even if Severus had to use him now, In fact, he has also been on Severus' must-kill list, and he will be killed by Severus sooner or later.

The Apollo Legion under his control is a hidden danger. Once Caracalla is crowned, he may not be able to control him. Severus will not leave trouble for his son Caracalla.

"Makri, take your warriors and retreat quickly. If you don't retreat, wait for the pursuers in the downstream to catch up. You will have no chance to retreat to the city!" Sextu took a deep breath, looking hesitant Macrinus, with a low drink.

A loser must bear the ending. This should be the best ending for the Apollo Legion. At least it can retain a reputation of being brave and fearless, and it can live up to the prestige of Julius Caesar who planned to build the Apollo Legion back then.

"Sextu, let's retreat together, fighting and retreating!"

As an imperial knight, Macrinus could not give up the Apollo Legion.

"It's too late!"

Sextu looked at Makrinus, and said in a low voice: "Caracalla will be crowned sooner or later, even if His Majesty is still among us, once Caracalla is crowned, he will not let me live, and will not let me The Apollo Legion stands on the land of the Empire!"

He seemed to be begging: "It is the most honorable death to be able to fight for the empire to the last moment. I don't want to insult the purity of the Apollo Legion for hundreds of years, so I beg you, let the Apollo Legion be buried in the imperial capital. Next, if you still accept my love, treat the Caesar family better!"

If he had to die all the time, he didn't want to be exterminated as a traitor and then go to the gallows to die in shame.

He preferred to die on the battlefield as a hero of the Empire.

If he can be wiped out in this battle, no matter what happens in the future, as long as the Roman Empire still exists, he and his Apollo Legion will be unparalleled heroes in the hearts of the people of the empire.

"withdraw!"

Macrinus almost gritted his teeth, let out a low drink, and led the Jagged Legion to retreat towards the city of Rome.

"Stop them!"

Jia Xu is a greedy general, he wants to devour all the Roman troops on the battlefield in one bite, and seeing the Iron Blood Legion suddenly want to withdraw, he suddenly shouted.

"Warriors of the Apollo Legion, for the Holy War of the Empire, please take up your weapons and fight with me!"

Sextu faithfully carried out the mission after the break.

Although the Apollo Legion was dispersed, relying on the majesty of his rule over the Apollo Legion for many years, he quickly gathered tens of thousands of scattered soldiers and horses to form a defense, which perfectly covered the retreat of the Iron Blood Legion.

"A certain family is coming, sons and daughters, kill them!"

And just as the Jagged Legion had just left the battlefield, the Parthian Legion led by Ma Chao had already surrounded them. Ma Chao held a tiger-headed golden spear in his hand, like a mad tiger rushing into a pack of wolves, invincible: "Let me completely surround them and completely annihilate them!" them!"

"kill!"

"kill!"

Although the Parthian Legion did not block the Iron Blood Legion, it could be regarded as completely blocking the back route of the Apollo Legion, encircling them on the river bank battlefield.

"Hahaha, fight for the empire, fight for the light, even if I die in battle, I, Sextu, will never regret it, warriors of the Apollo Legion, today we can't escape, if this is the case, then kill one That's enough money, I'll make money by killing two, I'm willing to dedicate myself to the empire, are you willing!"

Sextus fights against the beast, and he has always led the army with a cautious attitude, and he has completely turned into a crazy fierce general, fighting with his life.

"willing!"

"willing!"

Surrounded by the Wu army, the remaining soldiers of the Apollo Legion fought to the death.

Heroes have no boundaries.

At this moment, the soldiers of the Apollo Legion are the heroes of the Roman Empire.

"This battle was lost too quickly."

On the Roman city wall, Severus carried his hands behind his back, with a gloomy face, looking at the heroic scene outside the city, and asked faintly: "Although Sextus is incompetent, he has devoted himself to the empire, am I doing something wrong! "

He didn't expect that the solid defense line of the Tiber River would be breached within two days.

But he still has the main force of the three legions in the city, and he can send troops to rescue.

But in the end he didn't do it.

Using an Apollo army to consume the strength of the Wu army and gain the greatest advantage for the final defense of the city, this is a double-winner.

But Sextu's final performance shocked him.

"Your Majesty, this is the fate of the Apollo Legion. After you choose Prince Caracalla to inherit the supreme throne of the empire, the Apollo Legion is doomed to disappear!" Chucks replied calmly.

"What a pity, what a pity!"

Severus let out a long sigh, and finally fell silent, staring intently at the incomparably heroic battle outside the city.

At the same time, Sun Quan was also staring at this scene from the watchtower among the army in the Wu army camp.

"Your Majesty, a legion that has been completely wiped out, we have won this battle!"

Pang Tong was overjoyed and shouted.

"is it?"
