The Three Kingdoms

Sun Quan stood up, with an aura rising from his body, the power of an emperor, invincible in the world, with me, and fearless: "I trust you once, and put my life in your hands. If you don't win this battle, I'm afraid I won't be able to keep it either." you!"

"His Majesty……"

When the generals heard this, they became a little anxious.

"All the soldiers of Great Wu dare to take risks and fight. As the king of Great Wu, I have nothing to fear in the face of mere Roman barbarians!" Sun Quan waved his hand and said indifferently: "You don't need to say too much, my heart has been decided in this battle!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your trust!"

In fact, Zhuge Liang didn't expect Sun Quan to agree at the beginning. After all, Sun Quan, who had experienced the escape in Greece, was somewhat reluctant to die, but in the end Sun Quan agreed. This shows that Sun Quan trusted him very much, which made him a little grateful.

"The end of this battle will never let His Majesty down!"

He said firmly.

The next step is Zhuge Liang's strategy arrangement. He arranged the battle very carefully, and the deployment of soldiers and horses has been accurate to the position of each regiment. It is conceivable that he did not think of the strategy overnight, and he proposed it after countless deliberations. from.

Sun Quan had more confidence in him.

……

The next day, when the sun rose early in the morning and shone on the earth, the soldiers of the Wu Army in the Severus Fortress set out, and the army marched out in formation, and the soldiers marched forward with the flags flying in the wind.

On the city wall, Sun Quan stands with his hands behind his back.

Zhao Yun, the head of the military aircraft, Gao Shun, the commander of the Central Army, Xu Kun, the commander of the Imperial Guard, and the three generals stood behind him expressionlessly, following his gaze, watching the backs of the soldiers leaving.

"Don't you understand why I am willing to risk myself?"

Sun Quan spoke with a faint voice.

"Your Majesty, Zhuge Liang and Kong Ming's strategy is indeed good, but it cannot be denied that it is somewhat risky. If the main force fails to return in time, then Your Majesty will be trapped in the encirclement. Once the battle is unfavorable, there will be losses!"

Zhao Yun never objected to any of Sun Quan's decisions at the meeting, and supported all of Sun Quan's voices, but that didn't mean he had no opinion, and he still objected.

"You are worried about me, I understand in my heart!"

Hearing this, Sun Quan turned around, looked at Zhao Yun, Gao Shun, and Xu Kun, with an indifferent smile on the corner of his mouth, and said: "I have never been a fearless person. To be honest, I was in Greece back then. After the battle, I made a decision in my heart that in the future on the battlefield, I will respect stability and never rush forward lightly and risk myself, but I still agreed to Zhuge Liang's strategic plan, do you know why?"

"Please make it clear, Your Majesty!"

The three of them clasped their hands and asked.

"Because I believe in you, the Central Army is the imperial court's most powerful army. After the reorganization of the imperial guards, although there are only [-] troops, they are still elite soldiers."

Sun Quan said: "The most important point is that both the Central Army Corps and the Imperial Guards have all been replaced with new weapons. I believe that even if you are caught in a million-strong army, you will be able to protect yourself!"

The Central Army, that is an army of 20, all using new breech-loading guns, is an army with hot weapons, enough to sweep the battlefield, this is Sun Quan's confidence, the confidence that he thinks he is invincible.

Although Wu Chao has begun to equip new types of firearms, they don't actually have much concept of hot weapons and cold weapons. They have never experienced the experience of hot weapons sweeping the battlefield of cold weapons, so they can't believe it.

But Sun Quan knew, he knew that when the Wu army began to equip all new weapons, it would sweep the world without hindrance.

With the Central Army and the Guards by his side, even if Zhuge Liang made a mistake and he was surrounded by the main force, he was not worried that he would lose the battle. He believed in the combat effectiveness of the Central Army with breech-loading guns.

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

The news that the main force of the Wu army had departed from Severus naturally could not be concealed from the eyes and ears of the Roman army.

The province of Thrace is a province of the Roman Empire. The Roman army is fighting on the ground. On this land, they have a natural advantage. The Wu army's army marched out and passed by in a mighty way. There is no need to deliberately inquire about this kind of news. , can reach their ears.

"Your Excellency, the main force of the demon army has already moved out. They are divided into two groups, heading north from the east and west. The marching speed is very fast. Within three days, they have already destroyed as many as six or seven of our cities!"

On the outskirts of Thrace City, Benedia walked into Chaks' tent and quickly reported: "After the lessons learned from the previous battle in southern Thrace, they seem to have given up occupying our city, and soldiers and horses roared past , After finding out that there is no main force of our army, continue to go north, and it is estimated that it will not take long before we can reach the city of Thrace!"

"How do you think I should respond?" Chucks' calm face flashed a flash of fighting intent, but he suppressed his fighting intent and asked following the sound.

"Avoid!"

Benedia said.

"why?"

"It's not suitable to fight head-on with them now!" Benedia said: "I think it needs to be delayed, at least until their morale drops before attacking!"

"What about Thrace?"

"give up!"

"This is the fiefdom of your family for generations, don't you feel sad?"

"For the great cause of the empire, the gains and losses of one city and one place are irrelevant!"

"Since you don't feel sad, I have nothing to say!" Chucks said, "I came here according to your idea. In this land, you should be more familiar with it than us. You know better how to hide it! "

"Please rest assured, General, I will definitely make the imperial army disappear in the eyes of the devil!" Benedia said confidently.

"Your Excellency General!"

Outside the camp, a person walked in, it was the head coach of the Gaul Legion, Vickers.

"Vickers, what's the matter?"

"The end will plead for one person!" Vickers bowed his head, his voice loud.

"Is it Dio?"

"Your Excellency, he has been kneeling outside the camp for several days. This will not only kill him, but also make the soldiers of the Crusaders lose their morale before the war. Therefore, I beg you, give him a general." A chance for redemption!"

"Pass him in!"

Chucks pondered for a while before saying coldly.

"Yes!"

Vickers was overjoyed and hurried out.

"Benny, what do you think I should do to Dio?"

"Your Excellency, General, already has a plan in mind, so don't ask me!" Benedia said with a smile.

"He will always be responsible for the death of Macrinus. Let him kneel down in front of the camp for a few days. I have given an explanation to the soldiers of the empire. He is a good general. Nowadays, there are too few generals who can stand on their own. Count him lucky!"

Chucks snorted coldly and said.
