The Three Kingdoms

The Roman army had just left Ravanna Castle less than five miles away, when suddenly a spy came to report.

"Say!"

"Report to Your Excellency General, ten miles to the northeast of us, there is a legion approaching rapidly, heading towards Ravanna Castle!"

"what?"

Chucks was surprised and asked, "What number?"

"Alpha First Legion!"

"It's the legion guarding the Dolomites Fortress!" Macrinus said.

"Aren't they guarding the Dolomites Fortress? Why did they appear here?"

asked the head of a guard regiment.

"The army suspends the pursuit, camps on the spot, and let Antonio see me immediately!"

Chuck had a bad premonition in his heart.

"Yes!"

An hour later, Antonio appeared in front of Chaks, and respectfully said to Chaks and Caracalla: "The last general Antonio pays his respects to Your Excellency the General and His Royal Highness the Prince!"

"During the war, don't be too polite!" Caracalla said in a low voice.

"Antonio, let me ask you, why are you here?" Chucks said coldly, "Abandoning duty, I can kill you now!"

"Your Excellency General, you will not understand what you said!"

Antonio said: "I received the call from Your Excellency General, and Fang led the army to leave the Dolomites Fortress!"

"What?" Chucks' pupils widened.

"This is a warrant from Your Excellency the General!"

Antonio presents a piece of blood-stained cowhide.

"It's my handwriting, and it's also my seal!" Chucks looked at it: "But this is not a military order from me, we were fooled!"

"Fortress of the Dolomites!"

All the generals sighed in their hearts, and expressed their worries in unison.

Three days later, the main force of the Roman army pursued Wu Jun and entered the small town of Venice. At this time, news of the Dolomites Fortress also came.

"How's it going?"

With a gloomy face, Chuck looked at An Er, the first intelligence officer of the empire, and asked.

The army pursued for three consecutive days, and all the generals were exhausted, but the distance between Wu Jun and Wu Jun was shortened by less than ten miles. Now Wu Jun has entered the small town of Venice, and they are just outside the town, so they have caught up.

"Your Excellency, less than half a day after General Antonio led his army away from the Dolomites Fortress, a main force of the Eastern Demons rushed out, drove straight in, and easily broke through the Dolomites Fortress. Captain Angela died in battle. , all three thousand warriors in the fortress were beheaded, and now they have walked north out of the Dolomites and are preparing to advance towards the province of Pannonia!"

Aner smiled wryly and said the news he had inquired in the past few days: "Their military strength is initially surveyed, at least more than 20!"

"We were wrong, these eastern demons did not divide into two groups, they divided into three groups!" Chucks clenched his fists: "How about the Western Front?"

"The situation is not very clear. There is no news from General William, and the west is too far away from us, spanning the east-west direction of the entire Italian province. Even if they have news, they will have to wait for a few days!"

Aner asked: "Your Excellency, do we need to divide our troops to pursue now?"

"I'm thinking now, the emperor of the east, the emperor of demons, the Zhongmou Sun who finally forced our majesty to commit suicide in front of the soldiers of the empire, who is in that army!"

Chucks paced back and forth, still somewhat unsure: "The other eastern demons are just irrelevant, and it would be much more enjoyable to kill them, but even if we let them escape, it's okay, after all, we won this battle, and they It's also greatly hurt, as long as we keep the emperor of the Eastern Devil, we can make the East fall into a state of leaderless dragons, which will definitely make them mess up, buy enough time for the empire to calm down the chaos, and revive the imperial power! "

What he wanted to kill most was Sun Quan, the emperor of the Great Wu Dynasty.

Because he is also very clear in his heart that the current situation of the empire has actually exhausted its war potential, and almost the entire empire has been mobilized. If they cannot be left behind and Sun Quan cannot be killed, then what they will face is a big battle protracted war.

As long as Sun Quan is alive, the Eastern Demon will always be eyeing the empire's territory. Once he is dragged into the quagmire of infinite war, he will definitely be exhausted given the fact that the empire's vitality has been severely injured.

"The easiest way to break through is the Dolomites Fortress!"

An Er thought for a while, and said: "As long as the city of Milan in the west is not breached, they will fight like a trapped beast. Even if they have a support army on the west road, they may not have time in time, and they may even let General William wipe them out. Our road was also being pursued fiercely. It is hard to say whether we can escape our pursuit. Only the middle road, using the east and west armies, attracted our main pursuit, and then easily broke through our defense line and walked out. After breaking through our encirclement, we are on our way home!"

"Middle lane?"

Chucks pondered for a long time after hearing this, and finally shook his head: "Since Antonio was fooled before, I have thought a lot in the past few days. I think that although the Eastern Devils in the middle lane used the two wings to form a gap and break out, they may not It is the main force, compared to the Eastern Devil in the middle, I think Zhongmou Sun is right in front of us!"

"why?"

"The eastern demons who broke through in the middle seemed to break through the Dolomites Fortress with ease, but they chose the most difficult path. Once they are trapped in the belly of the empire, how difficult it is to get out!"

Chucks said coldly: "But the army of eastern demons on the road before us is different. Walking along the coast is the weakest defense of the empire's cities. There are very few strong cities blocking the way along the coast. They can pass through unimpeded." No problem, as long as they can reach the Greek provinces, they will have a chance to leave the empire smoothly!"

"But Greece is still under our control, and the Italian Legion is guarding the Greek waters!"

"Don't forget that the Italian Legion is fighting the Eastern Devil's Sea Legion, and there are also their forces here. If they respond smoothly, the Italian Legion will collapse in an instant!"

Chucks said: "And I'm already wondering, are the Greek provinces still under the control of the empire?"

"impossible!"

"Everything is impossible for us, that's why we have always lost to the Eastern Devils. Now, we need to learn to think of all the impossible in order to keep them!"

"Then we don't care about the middle?"

"This is a multiple-choice question. Our strength is not yet strong enough to divide into three groups to pursue, so we have to make a choice. I choose to believe in Zhongmou. Sun is right in front of us, so..."

Chucks said coldly and resolutely: "I have already decided that from now on, I will not be disturbed by any external information. I can no longer be fooled by the cunning of the eastern demons. I will strengthen my belief and pursue us with all my strength." The Eastern demons in front of me, I want to wipe out all of them, leaving no one behind, as for the Eastern demons in the middle, if they really have the ability to block the local city lords and governors, then let them go!"

[Text 540 Chapter [-] Venice War [-]]

In the province of Italy, in the northeast corner, there is a small town on the water called Venice.

This small town is not the famous tourist and industrial city in Italy in the later generations, nor is it a water city that can be famous all over the world. In the Italian province of the Roman Empire, it is a remote and backward coastal town.

The entire town has only a few thousand households and a population of less than [-]. Most of them are fishermen. They rely on fishing for a living. They are somewhat closed and rarely interact with outsiders. They maintain the natural scenery here, like a paradise outside the Great Wall.

Ju Yi led the vanguard of the Wu army to the north, and it was a breeze to occupy this place. The army moved in like wolves and tigers, and then collected all the fishermen's boats with a radius of hundreds of miles around, and successfully controlled the town.

In this small town, controlling the ships is equivalent to controlling the advantages. After all, this is a water castle, and all traffic is waterways. Basically, it cannot operate without ships.

A few days later, Sun Quan also personally led the main force, and moved here under the pursuit of the Roman army.

But the Roman army, which has been chasing fiercely, is not far behind. The main force of the Wu army is pursuing so urgently. During the pursuit, they have already approached them within a distance of less than ten miles, and they can rush forward at any time. This is somewhat beyond their expectations. , so that they all felt a trace of uneasiness at the same time.
