The Three Kingdoms

"Castle Ravanna?"

Chuck looked at a map of the empire: "Here?"

"Could it be that the Eastern Devils are about to break out from the coast?"

William's face was gloomy: "But as far as I know, the soldiers and horses of the Eastern Devils have not been able to occupy the sea areas around the Italian provinces in the current sea area. It is impossible for them to respond!"

"General William, even if they don't have sea support, they can go out along the coastline. This is the road to Greece. Although the distance is a bit longer, it is still a road!"

Dio of the Crusaders said.

"We didn't think carefully enough!"

Chucks calmed down and looked at the topographic map carefully: "This is indeed a good road, and it doesn't need to face our interception, but it is the safest road!"

"What if this is a bait?" William said, "Don't forget how cunning the Eastern Devil is. If this is just a bait, and if the main force of the Eastern Devil is not here, then we are chasing in the wrong direction!"

"But what if their main force is here, and even their emperor is here?"

"I think this matter needs to be taken seriously!"

The faces of the generals were heavy, and their opinions were somewhat divided.

"The plan remains the same!" Chucks pondered for a long time before deciding: "William, you still lead the army to Milan, I think they must have a way to the west, and I lead the Guards, and the Iron Blood Legion is approaching. Lomiti, Vickers, Dio!"

"Dear Your Excellency General, the last general is here!"

The chief general of the Gallic Legion and the chief general of the Crusaders stood together.

"Lead the troops yourself, and want Ravanna Castle to pursue!" Chucks pointed to the topographic map, and said, "We are all chasing in the northeast direction, and the distance between them is less than a hundred miles. We guarantee mutual support at any time, as long as you are sure. The main force is on the coast, send someone to report immediately, and I will lead the army to divert immediately!"

"As ordered!"

The two chief generals nodded.

"Soldiers are precious, break camp immediately!" Chucks said coldly: "No matter what, we must not let the eastern demons escape from the territory of the empire. We must keep them here so that we can pay homage to His Majesty's soul!"

"Yes!"

All the generals were murderous.

[Text 530 Chapter [-] Bloody Battle Breakthrough (Ambush [-])]

When Chucks made a decision, the generals obeyed, and the army immediately prepared to attack the Eastern Devil.

Vickers' Gallic Legion and Dio's Crusaders, these two legions, with a total of nearly 30 main forces, deviated from the main forces of the east and west, and rushed towards Ravanna Castle in the northeast direction.

The two legions looked mighty, but in fact they suffered a lot of damage in this battle.

Whether it is the Gaul Legion or the Crusaders, they are the main force of the Roman Army. They have fought against the Wu Army repeatedly, and have fought countless battles. After bloody battles, they have already suffered heavy casualties. One-third is forcibly recruited from the city, young and strong troops who have never been on the battlefield.

So even though they fought hard to pursue, their marching speed was very slow.

It is about a hundred miles away from the Doralna Castle in Florence. If an elite army takes less than a day, they can already rush there. However, they traveled day and night, and it took a full day and a half before they entered the northeast of the Italian province. Direction east coast.

Only ten miles away from Ravanna Castle, Dio suddenly ordered the army to stop.

"General Dio, what's the matter?" Vickers saw that the Crusaders stopped suddenly, so he stopped too, walked up, and asked Dio.

"General Vickers, these oriental demons have always been cunning. They attacked Ravanna Castle, and they will definitely know that they have been exposed. Maybe this is a trap, waiting for us to fall into the trap, we can't rush into it easily!"

Dio has fought countless battles with Wu Jun. He has already come up with an idea. He has lost many times to these black-eyed and black-haired demons from the east, and he has learned a lot from his losses. Now he has become extremely cautious: "And Have you noticed that the terrain around us now can form an encirclement with nowhere to enter, and once you go deep into it, it's like going deep into a canyon!"

"Are you worried that the Eastern Devils will take the opportunity to deploy ambushes on the two wings and prepare to ambush us?"

When Vickers heard this, a flash of light flashed across his eyes, and he spread out a topographic map of the surrounding area and looked carefully: "If we look at it from the front, the terrain here is actually nothing. There are no canyon mountain roads, but as long as you look carefully at the map, you will find that because there are many rivers between the left and right terrain, it creates a terrain that is not conducive to marching. Once you sink into it, it will instead form a canyon battlefield. This is indeed a good place to ambush !"

The terrain here is not an ambush terrain like a mountain canyon.

At the beginning, I couldn't see anything, but I felt flat.

But only a general with battlefield experience will find out that because of the criss-crossing rivers here, a strange terrain similar to left and right pincers has been formed.

"Narci!"

Dio pondered for a while, then suddenly looked at the lord of Ravanna Castle who was returning with the army, and said calmly: "This is your castle, you should be most familiar with the terrain around here, I will give you three hundred spies, you take They approached the castle from the path, and within an hour, you must understand the situation of Ravanna Castle!"

This is not a request, but an order.

So Narsi could only hold his nose and accept the order: "The order of the little General Zandio!"

……

In the north of the castle, on an open plain, the Central Army Corps of the Wu Army camped.

"Report!"

"Say!"

"Report to your lord, we found traces of the Roman army's pursuit!" The scout clasped his hands and reported.

"How far is it from us?" Lu Bu asked, his eyes brightened upon hearing this.

"It's less than ten miles away from the castle!"

"How many troops do they have?" Ju Yi asked afterward.

"Report to the commander, the strength of the Roman army is currently unknown, but judging by their flags, they have at least 15 troops. They have stopped to set up camp and have no intention of entering the castle of Ravanna immediately!"

"Go and investigate again, keep an eye on the spies they released, kill those who should be killed, and keep those who should be kept!" Lu Bu said.

"As ordered!"

The scout leaves.

In the big camp, Lu Bu Juyi and the others' faces became heavy, their expressions were a little cold, and they looked at each other silently.

Lu Bu looked at Guo Jia suddenly, and said, "Feng Xiao, this Roman barbarian stopped and set up camp as you expected. It's good to listen to you. Don't lay ambushes on the flanks, or you will be exposed!"

Before, he planned to use Ravanna's terrain to ambush on both sides, and when the Roman army penetrated deep, he would form an encirclement. Now it seems that the Roman army forced them to be calm and shrewd in their imagination.

"We suffered such a big loss in this battle, and almost the entire army was wiped out in the city of Rome. How dare I underestimate these Romans!"

Guo Jia looked at the strategic deployment map with a cold gaze, and said: "Although I don't know the chasing army this time, I must treat any Roman army leader with caution. When the news comes after us, we are not sure about the situation in Ravanna Castle, and we will definitely be afraid of rushing to attack and fall into our encirclement. This is a normal thing, and it also shows one thing, although the Romans are now They are so angry that they want to kill us with blood flowing like rivers, but their reason is still very clear. We need to be careful in the future, and we must not be careless. If we are a little careless, we will be entangled by them, and even face a whole Annihilated!"

"Then what do we do next?"

Ju Yi asked.
