The Three Kingdoms

Chuck said firmly.

"We haven't figured out how powerful the demons are. You have also fought against them with Alveri, so you should know some details about them. It is said that they have a very powerful siege weapon, which has never been used! "

Severus sighed: "The city wall may not be able to hold it. What I need is that you delay the time. The outer city is gone, and there is an inner city, but time must be delayed. Just wait for William's main force to surround them, and they will A thousand miles away!"

"understand!"

Chucks looked bright and nodded.

"The sunlight is very gentle, as if dispelling the chill in my body, is it signaling the arrival of light?"

Severus raised his head, watching the sun rising slowly and exuding more and more intense sunlight, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, the smile was tragic and natural: "Friedrich, take Apollo The news of the legion's heroic bloody battle with the demons until the last warrior spread. This is not a battle for me alone, nor is it a battle for the knights. This is a battle for the empire. The people of the imperial capital should be mobilized so that we can win !"

"Yes!"

Friedrich nodded.

……

The news spread quickly. In less than a day, the Roman people in the city knew about the bloody battle yesterday outside the city. For the safety of the imperial capital, the Apollo Legion bravely fought the devil to the end and was wiped out in the end.

This time, the official propaganda in Rome is very cooperative, not only the forces of Severus' palace, but also the forces of the Senate.

In the face of the crisis in the imperial capital.

The power of the imperial palace and the power of the senate have completely abandoned their previous suspicions and worked together.

"Hail to the warriors of Apollo!"

"The demon army is approaching the city. As the people of the empire, we should guard this holy imperial city. We must fight the demon to the end!"

"The warriors of Apollo are our role models, fight to the end!"

"For the sake of the light, I am willing to stain the battlefield with blood like the warriors of the Apollo Legion, and I will not allow them to step into the imperial capital!"

"Go join the army and defend the city!"

"I'll go too, to help defend the city!"

"If the imperial capital is breached, we will also be reduced to slaves. The warriors of the Apollo Legion can die in battle, so can we. No matter what, we will never allow demons to enter the city!"

"..."

When the two ruling powers of the empire united and promoted, the people in the city of Rome began to boil, and the blood of each young and strong man was stimulated, and they became part of the city guard without hesitation.

There are millions of people in this imperial city, and hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers. When they all become the backbone of the city, the Wu army will fall into the most difficult offensive and defensive battle...

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

Outside the city, Xi'an on the Tiber River, Wu Junying.

In the army, command the battalion.

On the second day after the end of the Battle of the Tiber River, Lu Bu, the head of the military aircraft, and Guo Jia, the Minister of the General Staff, quickly summoned the generals from the first and second theaters to summarize the damage in the Battle of the Tiber River, and then Begin to lay out the next siege strategy.

The meeting had been going on for half a day before Sun Quan arrived late.

Behind Sun Quan was only a confidant of staff, Pang Tong, who opened the door curtain and walked in stridingly, his eyes swept away.

"Your Majesty is down?"

"The last general will wait to see His Majesty!"

The generals were a little surprised, and after being surprised, one by one quickly stood up and saluted.

"You don't need to be too polite!"

Sun Quan sat down, with a slight smile on the corner of his mouth, his eyes were a little sharp, and he swept across the faces, and then asked, "How are you discussing?"

"Your Majesty, we have just finished summarizing the casualties of the Battle of the Tiber River, and are making the next strategic deployment of the siege!"

Guo Jia suddenly stood up and reported.

"very good!"

Hearing this, Sun Quan looked slightly at the courtiers, and asked with some difficulty: "Are the Huns and Parthians suffered a lot of casualties?"

He knew in his heart that the casualties of these two legions were not light.

In the beginning, the battle of crossing the river was consuming one life after another.

Especially the counterattack made by the Apollo Legion when they were besieged and suppressed at the end, their desperate fighting with besieged beasts made the casualties of the Hun Legion and the Parthian Legion appear in a straight line.

Sun Quan estimated that Ma Chao and Jia Xu's hearts were bleeding at this time.

"Your Majesty, as the saying goes, if you kill one thousand enemies, you will lose eight hundred!"

Lu Bu smiled wryly, and said in a low voice: "Although we broke through the defense line of the Tiber River in the shortest time, the main force of the first war zone has already camped out on the east bank, and the floating bridges connecting the roads are all ready to enter the city of Rome at any time. , but the price we paid was also a bit heavy. The number of soldiers sacrificed by the Hun Legion and the Parthian Legion alone was as high as [-], and the number of wounded soldiers was about [-]. This is more than half of the casualties. It was completely disabled in this battle, and it will hardly play any role in our next battle!"

"So many casualties?"

Hearing this, Sun Quan couldn't help taking a deep breath. Looking at the faces of Ma Chao and Jia Xu who were so gloomy that they could drip water, he understood that the data could only be considered as less, not more. It was beyond his expectations.

If any army has about half of its casualties, it has already collapsed.

It is estimated that the Xiongnu Legion and the Parthian Legion are already in a gloomy atmosphere. Even if they do not completely collapse, they will not be able to exert much combat effectiveness.

The two main armies were scrapped, and he was unwilling.

But nothing can be done.

He sighed helplessly, and said softly: "This battle is still too simple for me. Let the two legions be the vanguard. I didn't expect to cause such a large number of casualties!"

"Your Majesty, where there is a battlefield, there will be casualties. This is unavoidable. Isn't there a saying that a general will inevitably die in a hundred battles? Since we follow His Majesty into the Roman Empire without hesitation, we are ready to die in battle!"

Pan Feng explained indifferently, and said: "If we want to completely conquer this empire and conquer this tens of thousands of miles of territory, we must be prepared to sacrifice. There is no absolute victory on the battlefield, only life for life. In fact, this battle is worth our effort..."

Sun Quan waved his hand, ignoring Pan Feng's reasoning, but said to Ma Chao and Jia Xu in a deep voice: "Meng Qi, Wen He, you don't need to participate in the next battle, and you will be transferred from the front to the rear battalion. At the same time, defend the rear for the main force!"

"Yes!"

Ma Chao and Jia Xu nodded and stood up to accept orders.

At this time, they really need time to rest and restore morale, so they did not try to be brave, and tore through the first line of defense. In this battle, they have left their own brand, and they are indispensable if they can be rewarded for their merits. Two legions.

"Defending the back road is not an easy job. You all know the situation now. I am not worried about whether I can break through the city of Rome. I am determined to win this city of Rome, but I am afraid that at a critical moment, I will be stabbed later, which will eventually lead to It's a failure!"

Sun Quan looked solemn and his voice was low.
