Pan Rui's Sixth Army was also stubbornly resisted by the local defenders in the Bosphorus, but was eventually taken under the fierce and continuous infantry and artillery coordinated attack.

And the losses of Eastern soldiers turned out to be more than twice as many as those of the Third Army.

"Oh my God! This is a small kingdom, and we have lost more than half of our three Japanese divisions! ”

"In the long run, our troops have lost so much, can we pay it back?"

Pan Rui looked at the battle damage in front of him and couldn't help but say with a headache.

"Is this inevitable? Know that we are in a kingdom with a monarch and a nation of soldiers! Is such a loss inevitable? ”

Guo Huai looked at Pan Rui in front of him and couldn't help but say with a wry smile.

Pan Rui finally sighed helplessly and signed the battle damage report and handed it to Xiang Kun.

"This time, Pan Rui's group army is suffering a little! But I didn't expect that this Bosphorus kingdom would have such a big impact on us! ”

"It stands to reason that our troops should be able to deal with such a small country! But I didn't expect it to be a remnant victory, it's like capsizing in the gutter! ”

Xiang Kun looked at Guo Jia and Sima Yi in front of him, and couldn't help but say with a shocked face.

"Fortunately, more than a dozen local soldiers of our Great Chu Empire were killed, if most of them were killed, I wouldn't even have time to cry!"

Xiang Kun looked at the map in front of him and said half-jokingly, half-sadly.

"Your Majesty, don't be too sad! Our Great Chu Empire has commanded an army of 2.56 million this time, which can be said to be invincible, and it doesn't matter if we lose these people! ”

"Especially since it's all our servant army, don't take it seriously!"

"The battle-damaged soldiers of our main force in the middle don't need to be replenished! You can replenish the left and right wings with soldiers recruited from Japan, Korea, and Southeast Asia!"

Sima Yi looked at this Xiang Kun in front of him and said with a smile.

"It's a must! Since it is now up to you, the wartime front-line commander, to do it! ”

Xiang Kun looked at the Sima Yi in front of him and couldn't help but say with a smile on his face.

"Whoa!"

Sima Yi looked at this Xiang Kun in front of him, saluted respectfully, and said loudly.

After resting for three days, the Third Route Army, led by the Ninth Army led by Xiang Kun himself, occupied 300,000 square miles of land in the Roman Empire within half a month, and then died down here.

Zhang Ren, who was responsible for the occupation of Egypt and other vast desert areas, was somewhat dragged into the quagmire of war.

In particular, the desert area is dry and hot, there is a lack of drinking water, and the environment here is extremely harsh.

"Many of our soldiers have fallen from heat stroke now! Although our medical equipment is advanced, the water we carry is simply not enough to sustain the supply of the troops that are trapped today. ”

"We need to write to Your Majesty and ask for a water conservancy expert to come and help us dig a well to maintain the hasty garrison of the army and occupy it!"

Zhao Cen looked at the Zhang Ren in front of him and said with a smile.

"You're right! I'm going to go to the book!"

Zhang Ren also agreed with this opinion very much, and couldn't help but write immediately.

Five days later, Xiang Kun, who had already occupied Cappadocia, was handling official business, and his brows were a little tight when he received Zhang Ren's letter.

"That's a problem! The desert is truly terrifying! ”

"Dig a well! That's a way to do it! Someone? ”

After reading Zhang Ren's book, Xiang Kun stood up and looked at the map in front of him, and couldn't help but say with a smile.

"Your Majesty!"

Dian Wei walked in, looked at Xiang Kun in front of him, bowed his hand, and said loudly.

"Tell the water conservancy troops accompanying the army to rush to Egypt to support Zhang Ren immediately! Zhang Ren has a problem there! ”

"In addition, 50,000 water trucks were requisitioned from here, all filled with clean drinking water, and sent to Egypt to solve Zhang Ren's urgent need!"

Xiang Kun looked at Dian Wei in front of him and said with a smile.

"I will give you 30,000 Great Chu Empire elite horsemen, 50,000 Great Chu elite armor, you will do this task yourself! Gotta get there in 10 days!"

Xiang Kun looked at Dian Wei in front of him and said with a serious face.

"The last general knows, please rest assured Your Majesty!"

Dian Wei looked at His Majesty in front of him and couldn't help but smile and said.

"Remember, even if you encounter any rebels along the way, you just need to chase them away, and don't chase them!"

"The terrain and climate in the desert are very complex and changeable, and once you get into it, it's hard to get out."

"So this time, I asked Guo Jia to go with you! Don't rush back after you've delivered it. ”

"Your mission is to assist Guo Jia in detecting where the map is left behind, where to fight, and conquer Egypt!"

Xiang Kun looked at the henchman in front of him and said loudly.

"Your Majesty, what about your safety?"

Dian Wei looked at this Xiang Kun in front of him and said with a smile.

"I'll go back with Xu Chu and me in the end!"

Xiang Kun looked at Dian Wei in front of him and couldn't help but say with a smile.

"Loyalty to His Majesty is the best wish of the last general! Your Majesty is willing to die for Your Majesty!"

Dian Wei looked at the lord in front of him, who had been loyal to him for half his life, and said with a smile.

"Nonsense! Only by living can you be more loyal to me!"

Xiang Kun looked at this Dian Wei in front of him and couldn't help but smile and said.

"Whoa!"

Dian Wei looked at this Xiang Kun in front of him and couldn't help but say with a smile.

"Remember! Your wife and son are waiting for you? ”

Xiang Kun looked at the stupid big man in front of him and hugged him tightly in front of him and said loudly.

Dian Wei then bowed and walked out.

"Someone!"

At this time, Zhang Renbu had something that no one wanted to happen, that is, the water source was about to run out.

"In the large camp that has been built like a mountain range, a large number of soldiers are fighting the scorching sun with their will."

"Ahh Water! I want water!"

"I want water! I want water!"

From time to time, a large number of soldiers fell to the ground and suffered from heat stroke due to lack of water.

In the big tent, Zhang Ren and other generals only drink a bowl of water every day.

Today, there are only three waterwheels in the main camp, barely sustaining.

"Report to the General! The war horse also fainted! If the soldiers carrying the water don't come, our soldiers won't be able to last long! ”

An adjutant general walked in, looked at Zhang Ren in front of him, and couldn't help but say loudly with his chapped lips.

"Don't worry! Your Majesty will not give up on us! Wear my command to supply two-thirds of the drinking water to the soldiers and horses of those patrol battalions!"

"We can't afford to lose our eyes and ears in the enemy camp! Hurry up! ”

Zhang Ren looked at the deputy general in front of him and said loudly.

"Commander Qiqi, there is a situation on the mountain ahead! It's a bunch of Egyptians dressed up!"
