The Three Kingdoms

Wu Jun began to move, and the army began to march rapidly towards the Greek Peninsula in the east along the road along the coast.

Going south from Venice to the Greek Peninsula and arriving at the city of Athens, even if it is a straight line, it would take more than [-] miles. With the current state of the Wu army and the roads of the Roman Empire, it would take at least [-] miles.

With their current marching speed, they can't walk fast at all. A maximum of 150 miles a day is already the limit, and a hundred miles is a normal march.

In other words, even if Wu Jun did not encounter any pursuit or obstruction, it would take him at least a month to march without changing the weather.

This month will be the most difficult month for Sun Quan and the others.

……

The boring march began. At the beginning, the Wu army marched very slowly. While marching, they had to guard against the pursuit of the Roman army behind them, so they only marched about [-] miles a day.

But in the next few days, no trace of the Roman army's pursuit was found, and the Wu army began to speed up the march.

……

The march entered the seventh day.

The heavy rain for three consecutive days made Wu Jun's journey extremely difficult. Many soldiers fell ill. Even Sun Quan had a high fever due to the rain, and finally fell ill on the bed. However, the marching speed could not be delayed. He was was carried away.

……

March into No. 15 days.

Every soldier of the Wu army was exhausted, as if the Red Army was on a long march, and the formations were not in formation, and they walked with each other.

……

On the No. 20th day of the march, Wu Jun encountered the first trouble during the march and got lost.

Originally walked along the coast.

But the road to the coast was cut off, and the coast was lost as a direction mark for their march. Wu Jun had better ask the local Romans as a guide, but this guide took them into the ditch, and they traveled all the way along this section of the road. It took three days and wasted three days before I embarked on the right path.

In a rage, Lu Bu led his troops to slaughter more than 800 Romans in a small town.

……

The journey continues.

The time begins to enter September.

It's autumn.

The main force of the Wu army led by Sun Quan was getting closer and closer to the Greek peninsula during the march.

The last breakout battle also kicked off...

[Text 540 Chapter Nine Greek Provinces]

Greek provinces.

The territory of this province is very large, with the Attica Peninsula in the north, the Peloponnese Peninsula in the south, and the Aegean Sea territory. It is one of the largest among the Roman provinces.

Greece has a long history. When it comes to ancient Greek civilization, it originated in 800 BC. This is one of the sources of the development of the entire Western civilization. It continued until the rise of the Macedonian Empire, which brought the ancient Greek city-state to its demise.

But although the city-states of ancient Greece perished, Greek civilization survived.

Alexander the Great led the Macedonian Empire to fight north and south, and conquered the whole of Greece from Egypt. However, it took hundreds of years for the empire to go through a Hellenistic era, which means that the entire Macedonian Empire inherited Greek civilization and civilization. language.

After the rise of the Roman Empire, the Roman Empire conquered the east and west, and unified the land of Western Europe. The thriving Macedonian Empire also came to an end. The Greek Peninsula changed hands again and became a province of the Roman Empire.

However, most of the provinces in the east of Rome have inherited Greek civilization. The most direct manifestation is that the language of the eastern border of Rome is basically Greek, not the official Latin of Rome.

For hundreds of years, the Greek peninsula has been an important political and economic territory of the Roman Empire.

This is the territory of the empire that connects several provinces in the east, including the province of Egypt in the south, so it is also a center where the east and west of the empire blend. It is unique in the empire in terms of geographical location and economic conditions.

Because there is at least one legion of the Italian legion guarding it all the year round, the Greek provinces have always been a peaceful place for the empire. Whether it is some barbarians in the north or some pirates on the sea, they rarely dare to come here to fight the autumn wind. . .

But with the westward expedition of the Eastern Wu Army, the main force drove straight into the Roman territory, and the entire eastern territory of the Roman Empire had fallen. The Greek provinces were facing this eastern territory, and naturally fell into dire straits.

In the past, 60.00% of the logistics provided by the Roman army and the Wu army on the eastern border were prepared from the Greek peninsula.

The official scrutiny of the collection of money and food naturally made the people live a miserable life.

The Greek people also began to tighten their belts because of preparations for logistics and food.

But in general, the war did not fall on this land.

Until the Wu army broke out from the Byzantine castle and marched westward towards the city of Rome, a Wu army also crossed the Aegean Sea and landed on the Greek peninsula, leading to the battle of the Greek provinces...

……

While the main force of the Wu army led by Sun Quan was still fighting in Italy, a war broke out in the Greek provinces.

The main attacker was Sun Lang, one of the young generals of the Wu Army.

Under Sun Quan's will, Sun Lang led an army to Greece, intending to control the entire Greek province in his own hands and become a bridgehead for the Wu army to go west.

At this moment, the main force of the Italian Legion guarding the Greek province is at sea to fight the Wu Jun Sea Eagle Legion, which can be said to be the time period with the best chance of capturing Greece.

Backfired.

This place is not a province that is within easy reach. The governor of Greece, a middle-aged man from Gnaeus Aslet, has become Sun Lang's greatest enemy.

Sun Lang is only in his early twenties this year. He is young and has extraordinary martial arts skills. After Sun Ce ascended the throne, he began to go to the battlefield to fight for the Wu army.

After more than ten years of fighting in the South and the North, his injuries are no longer that of a fledgling boy who was not as good as the fledgling heroine Lu Lan on the Liaodong battlefield.

He went from the Wild Lion Legion to the Blood Wolf Legion, and then to the Guards, step by step. Every step of his promotion did not come from his status as a royal family, but from his blood and sweat. .

Now he is the commander of the first division of the Imperial Guard Army, he is not a pussy, he is the most promising General of the Imperial Guard Army after Lei Ding's death, to inherit the command of the Imperial Guard Army.

This time Sun Quan believed in him, so he personally dispatched an army to him, and let him take part in capturing the Greek provinces. Naturally, he had to do this task well for Sun Quan's trust.

As soon as he entered the Greek province, he couldn't wait to start the war.

In five days, he galloped for eight hundred miles, captured six cities in a row, and shocked the entire Greek province at once, showing his sharpness and momentum like a rainbow.

His aura really shocked many people in the Greek provinces.

But in the end it didn't achieve the result he expected.

Gnaeus, who was born in Greece and finally became the governor of Greece with the appreciation of Severus, after Sun Quan led the Wu army into the Greek provinces and asked for help from the Italian army to no avail, he personally selected slave soldiers, serf soldiers, and noble cavalry in various cities , formed a Greek army.

Although the Greek army was formed in a hurry, but relying on Gnaeus's personality charm, they were forced together, exerting extraordinary combat effectiveness, and quickly counterattacked to suppress Sun Lang's attack. momentum.
