Chapter 1932: Late Changes
The five corps commanders barely recovered their morale under Benito's orders, after all, when they didn't know what to do, it was also the right way to be commanded by others, not to mention that Benito was a pretty good general anyway. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Odran, you lead your army to burn all the pontoon bridges further up and down the Tigris River, and all the ferries are confiscated, what we need to do now is to delay time." Benito ordered coldly.
For Benito now, since the Thirteen Roses are gone, if there are no amazing merits, they will definitely be judged by the council.
In this case, it is better to gamble, maybe you can still win, and as for losing, if you lose, won't all these places in Mesopotamia and Assyria be taken away by rest.
It doesn't matter to Benito now, all these places have been robbed, and all these places are in his hands, and the result is the same for him, the fall of the Thirteen Roses has made them powerless to argue.
In this case, if you fight hard, maybe it will have some effect, anyway, with the momentum of rest that Benito saw, if he can't come up with any plan, these places in Mesopotamia will inevitably be robbed.
[If the Thirteen Roses were still there, I would definitely have to fight with Rest now to stabilize the momentum, but unfortunately now the strength of our army is obviously at a disadvantage, and Rest has already appeared enough to deal with the elite of the Thirteen Roses, which is a very troublesome problem. Benito thought as he ordered.
Originally, when Gilia was going to deal with the rest east of the two rivers, Benito was prepared, so after the defeat and retreat, he quickly cut off the pontoon bridge and collected the boats, but he really did not think that he would lose so badly.
It was not even thought that the Sabbatarians would win so smoothly that they might have more time to search farther upstream and downstream, so Benito had no choice but to divide his already small forces and order them to go upstream and downstream to burn the pontoon bridges and ferries and ferries.
"Carlo, let your legion scout, and if there is any change in the rest army on the opposite side, come and inform me immediately, and the others will re-establish the defensive line with me." Benito ordered the other legion commander, who already had an idea.
"Yes!" Carlo nodded.
"Elclan, do you still have the courage to fight?" Benito looked at his somewhat dejected subordinates and asked.
"A fearless Roman citizen never loses his courage." Elcrane roared.
"In this case, we have lost the Thirteen Roses, but the tactics that Caesar left us back then are still our precious weapons, are you willing to let me lead you in a battle with Sabbath?" Benito asked solemnly, "Victory will be ours!" ”
It has to be said that Benito's experience and ability far surpassed that of Gilia by several streets, and under his purge, the entire Roman army gradually began to recover its morale, although it did not completely come out of the shadow of the destruction of the Thirteen Rose Legions.
This, coupled with Benito's constant command movements, left the entire Roman army with no time to stop and think about the implications of this event.
"A great victory must be made, and now the morale of the army has gradually recovered, but this is not enough, but this Mesopotamian plain is too wide to have any place for ambush, and it will drag on here for at least about a month, what should we do." The others gradually settled down with Benito's transfer, but all the burdens were borne by Benito alone.
As Benito pondered, a very terrible thought gradually appeared in Benito's mind, and what was there to cherish and not cherish.
Benito, a madman, directly burned down all the pontoon bridges and ferries hundreds of miles downstream of the upper and lower reaches of the Tigris River, even if there were occasional ferries, only a few of them were not enough for the rest army to cross the river.
And the most disgusting thing is that as long as their army sends more than 500 people, the opposite side will immediately send 100 people to follow along the river, and there is a Tigris River between the two sides, although the distance is a bit large, but it can still be seen clearly.
"Our army has only acquired less than fifty small boats in five days?" The corners of Fars Sasan's mouth twitched twice after hearing this, although he knew that he was going to cross the river early in the morning, he really didn't expect that Benito would scrape hundreds of miles upstream and downstream, so it was clear that he was prepared in advance.
"General Fars, don't we have a warship ready?" Zhuge Liang said with a little puzzlement, how could he not prepare a boat to cross the river.
"We don't need a ship for hundreds of years." Fars said a little helplessly, when they were in the last Persian Empire, their navigation skills were still very good, and they easily ran to the Aegean Sea, and now, they don't need ships for hundreds of years.
"The Tigris River is not wide, or we can build our own pontoon bridges." Zhuge Liang proposed, Fars nodded helplessly, now it can only be like this.
"It's just that the pontoon bridge has been under the surveillance of the Romans, and the other party can destroy it at any time, so it's easy to have problems if you build it like this." Fars Sassanid is a little bit less like a useless exercise.
Zhuge Liang frowned slightly, from these words, he heard something else, for example, the other party seemed to want to stalemate here.
"Dare to ask the general, if Your Majesty attacks Armenia, how long will it take." Zhuge Liang thought for a while and said.
Fars Sassanid looked at Zhuge Liang with a little appreciation, "From north to south, you can directly cross the two rivers. ”
"I see, the general doesn't mind the other party's delay at all, to be precise, the other party is dragging time, isn't the general also dragging time, under the attack of the two phases, the general plans to destroy the remaining two legions together?" Zhuge Liang instantly understood Fars Sasan's thoughts.
"Why not give it a try if you have the chance." Fars Sassanid said with a smile.
Zhuge Liang was inexplicably speechless, and Fars Sassanid may have also seen Zhuge Liang's doubts and said, "The general is worried about what will happen to the situation of the battle after taking more time?" ”
"Well, the Romans must have their own calculations, and I'm afraid that something will happen soon." Zhuge Liang didn't have any cover-up, it was because the people of Anxi respected them very much, so Zhuge Liang didn't deliberately cover up in this regard, vote for me with a peach, and repay it with Qiong Yao, this is the norm of the Han family.
Fars Sassanid thought for a while, and was ready to explain to Zhuge Liang with a smile on his face, but Zhuge Liang seemed to see it from his expression and countenance, "I plan to finish my work in one battle, take advantage of the big advantage now, force the Romans to transfer troops, and then attack with Your Majesty left and right?" ”
Fars Sassanid looked at Zhuge Liang in disbelief, he dared to guarantee that he didn't tell anyone about this plan, only he and Vologis V knew, but he didn't expect Zhuge Liang to break it in one go.
"It's not impossible to do this, if you wipe out almost the entire eastern Roman army here, it will be very easy to take the eastern provinces of Rome next, and the victory rate of the left and right attacks is very large." Zhuge Liang knocked in front of him and muttered to himself.
"It's just that there's a huge drawback here." Sima Yi, who had been looking at the map and didn't speak, pursed his lips and said with a little disdain.
"Tell me about it." Fars Sasanid didn't mind Sima Yi interjecting either.
Recently, Fars Sassanid has figured out the identities of these people, they are all nobles, and they are all big nobles, but compared to the big nobles who are resting their hind legs, these big nobles are extremely capable, and they are almost sparing no effort in maintaining the Han family.
Therefore, when Fars Sassanid decided to go back and see Vologis V again, let Vologis V find a way to find a way to manage the aristocratic system from the Han family, after all, whether Fars Sassanid likes the seven nobles or not, he must admit that the strength of the seven nobles is very strong.
If this group of nobles can be condensed into a rope like the Han family, Persia would have hit the Aegean Sea in one go and occupied half of the Mediterranean, and they would not be able to do it in peace.
Now they have sent 120,000 troops in peace, and they have almost done their best, but if they can make the seven nobles the same as the Han family, the number of troops sent by the rest side will at least double!
After all, every big nobleman falls to the royal family, which means that the royal family can spend less energy, and in addition to recovering the power used to limit the aristocracy, it can also get the support of the aristocracy.
"There's a stretch of the Euphrates and Tigris rivers that are particularly close to each other, and it happens to be the Akkadian garrison of the Romans, if I'm Benito, hum!" Sima Yi's sneer made Fars Sasanid shudder.
Fars Sasanid shuddered at the smile, but he didn't understand what it meant, and it was better to say that they never thought about such a thing in peace.
Seeing that Fars Sassanid was still puzzled, Zhuge Liang smiled bitterly twice and explained, "What Zhongda means is that since both horizontal and vertical are dead, and as long as he dies, he will inevitably be robbed of the two river valleys, in this case, digging the Euphrates River and the Tigris River, the distance between them is only a hundred miles, and the water can be five or six zhang high, regardless of whether he is elite or not, he is dead." ”
Millions of tons of flowing water are patted over, unless you are Dian Wei, the others are absolutely dead, especially this is still between the two rivers, you have nowhere to run, if the Yangtze River and the Yellow River are separated by a hundred miles, and the rivers are dug in the middle, how do you feel.
Fars Sasanan immediately stood on end, and there were not enough people to fill it.
"He probably wouldn't do that...... "Fars Sassanid Conditioning, Average Ageing, Ai Ai said.
When Sima Yi heard Fars Sasanian's words, he pursed his lips disdainfully and turned his head to the side, as if he was too lazy to deal with Fars Sasanar, pinning victory on the enemy's stupidity already means defeat, and pinning his life on the enemy's stupidity, heh, there is only one death!
