The Three Kingdoms

Gnaeus also relied on the terrain advantage to plunge Sun Lang's troops into dire straits.

But Sun Lang was able to get Sun Quan to entrust him with such an important task, and he was naturally capable. He abruptly led the army out of the encirclement arranged by Gnaeus.

Then the two armies began to fight endlessly on the land of Greece.

In the past few months, Sun Kuang led his army to fight the Greek Governor Gnaeus for no less than ten battles, the offensive and defensive battles in Athens, the battle for Sparta, and the encounter with Olympia...

After one battle after another, although Sun Lang failed to completely capture the Greek province, his soldiers and horses have also begun to stand firm in the Greek province.

In July, Sun Lang led his army to recapture the city of Sparta. Relying on the strength of the city of Sparta and the city of Athens, the capital of Greece, he separated the entire Peloponnese Peninsula and occupied half of the territory of the Greek province. .

But this did not satisfy Sun Lang.

He always remembered that he was on a mission with Sun Quan.

Although he worshiped and respected Sun Quan, he never thought that Sun Quan would use this retreat in the end, but he still completed the task given by Sun Quan without reservation.

What Sun Quan wanted was the entire Greek province, and he could only complete his mission if he captured the entire Greek province.

In August, Sun Lang led his troops across the sea into the Attica peninsula three times to attack the city of Athens, but in the end they were all blocked out. After repeated battles, he was exhausted. In desperation, he had to lead the army back first. Sparta City, take a break temporarily.

……

Spartan city.

This is an ancient city located in the southwest of the Peloponnese Peninsula. It was one of the city-states of ancient Greece in the past. It has a long history and a strong population accumulation.

In the city, a circular hall.

This has allowed Sun Lang to become the command battalion of the middle army of the army.

"No matter what price I pay, we must take down the Greek province!"

Sun Lang's scorching and loud voice echoed in the hall.

"General, our soldiers can't stand the continuous hard battle for more than a month!" Xia Houheng said in a low voice.

He is Xiahouyuan's eldest son. When Xiahouyuan defeated Youzhou, he led his army to surrender. Now he is the commander of the Guanzhong Army. He is the only Xiahou family under his younger brother Xiahouba. One of his divisions was put under Sun Lang's command.

"General, our division has lost nearly [-]% of its soldiers after repeated battles. The morale of the army is enough to collapse. If we continue to fight like this, I'm afraid..." Another division commander is Wen Qin.

Tan Hualang was born in the first martial arts examination of the Great Wu Dynasty.

He also has another identity. He was once a ghost buried in Soochow by Cao Wei. Many people know.

The most important thing is that the demise of Cao Wei made these ghosts lose their due role. Among these buried ghosts, some resigned from office and returned to their hometowns in despair, and some intended to pass the customs in a muddle.

Wen Qin chose the third path.

He confessed his original identity to the imperial court. Although he was demoted to three ranks and transferred to the Central Army, the biggest hidden danger was cleverly eliminated by him, and he also received a lot of attention from Sun Quan. Since then, he has been promoted step by step. Now he is the commander of the third division of the second army of the Central Army.

When Sun Quan recruited soldiers and horses to fight against Greece, he also dispatched his army to fight under Sun Lang's command.

The strength of this army consists of three divisions, the first division of the Imperial Guard led by Sun Lang himself, the second division of the No.40 Ninth Army of Xia Houba's Guanzhong Army, and the third division of the Second Army of Wenqin Central Army. Forty thousand or so.

After these months of fighting, they have consumed a lot, and the remaining soldiers and horses are only about [-].

"No but!"

Sun Lang squinted at Wen Qin, his eyes were like lightning, and under the lightning and thunder, he said firmly: "Your Majesty trusted us at the beginning, so he entrusted us with such a heavy responsibility. In any case, we must buy time to take down Greece." Province, as the saying goes, don’t be afraid of [-], just in case, if His Majesty really defeats Rome, this will be His Majesty’s only escape route, if we can’t meet His Majesty, then we should kill ourselves and apologize!”

"General, it's not that we fear war, it's just that the current situation is greatly unfavorable to us!"

Xia Houheng said: "Our soldiers became more and more tired during the Vietnam War, and they could not be replenished, but our opponent, the Greek army of the Roman Empire, showed more and more courage in the Vietnam War. Before the war, they had no more than [-] troops. Yu, those who were beaten by us retreated steadily, and could only hide in the city of Athens, but now, they have more than [-] soldiers, relying on their popularity in Greece, the Lord is enough to consume us to death!"

At the beginning, Gnaeus, the Greek governor, could gather less than [-] troops, so he could only defend the city, and almost let Sun Lang's army break through the city of Athens.

But as this battle was fought, it was clear that the casualties of the Roman army were higher than that of the Wu army, but their strength increased tomorrow. Now they have accumulated about [-] troops, and there is no need to continue to defend at all. Being able to fight Wu Jun to the death, even vaguely overwhelmed Wu Jun.

That's home field advantage.

The Greek provinces had a population of at least several million.

As the governor of Greece, Gnaeus is still very popular in the local area. It is too easy for him to recruit tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in the name of defending the country and exorcising the devil.

But on the contrary, Wu Jun was unable to replenish his troops.

Under the ebb and flow, the combat effectiveness of the Wu army began to be gradually reversed by the Roman army.

"I also know that it is basically difficult for us to take the city of Athens now. After all, the Roman army is getting stronger and stronger, and now the combat power is by no means inferior to ours, but we can change the direction and avoid the heavy soldiers of the city of Athens. First seize the territory in the northwest, and then completely suppress the city of Athens with the situation of encirclement!"

After Sun Lang stared for a while, he began to point his finger at the topographic map of Greece on the desktop, and said, "As long as we can besiege and not attack, maybe we can surrender the city of Athens without a fight!"

"This method is not bad!"

"You can try it!"

Xia Houheng and Wen Qin glanced at each other when they heard the words, then looked at the topographic map together, and finally nodded.

"Since both of you have agreed, we will set off tonight, cross the strait at night, and attack the north directly!"

"promise!"

The two nodded.

"By the way, is there any news at sea now?" Sun Lang asked suddenly.

In addition to them in the Greek province, on the Greek sea, the Sea Eagle Legion and the Italian Legion are at war, and he has to worry about it.

"The main force of the Italian Legion has not returned. It should be fighting at sea with our Sea Eagle Legion. I heard that the Sea Eagle Legion suddenly attacked the Italian Legion of the Roman Army. The specific situation is not very clear!"

Wen Qin replied: "We don't have any reinforcements, and they probably don't either. Now let's see the battle between us and the Greek governor!"

"The Sea Eagle Corps is attacking wildly? Although Commander Zhou Tai is a fierce general, he is by no means an impulsive person who has controlled the power of the navy these years. Since he suddenly became so anxious, there must be a reason!"

Sun Lang had a look of sadness on his face: "They are outside and we are inside. The news we have now is not as well-informed as they are. I am even more afraid that their abnormality will be related to His Majesty. They have already learned the results of the front line, and This result is not ideal!"

"No way!"

The pupils of the two stared wide.

"I hope not!" Sun Lang smiled wryly.

"Actually, according to the time, the main force of our army should break through the Roman capital at this time, but the news has not appeared for a long time, so it is very likely that this battle has already failed!"

Xia Houheng thought for a while before saying.

"Absolutely not. Our army has more than one million main forces, and they will drive straight in. Who will stand in the way!"
