Situ Fei and Shi Lian, including Liao Hua and others in Lan Dingcheng, were all discussing how to cooperate with the other party in tomorrow's battle and inflict heavy losses on the Roman army, but Ava Monro and Landu Ayas in the Roman army were wavering in attacking Lan Ding, and even Jerese, who had insisted on it before, was also average. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Han army's defense of Lan Ding is already extremely strong, and at this time there are strong reinforcements coming, what worries them even more is that they still don't know anything about the reinforcements of the Han army, once Liu Xin returns, it will be the turn of the Roman army to be in danger, and it is unknown when Ayassus' army will arrive, and they have to think about their own safety.

Now the focus of both sides is focused on Liu Xin, the king of Lu, when he will return to the army is the key to the current battle situation, so where is Liu Xin at this time? After successfully taking Arin, King Lu had already returned to the army, and the 400,000-strong army of Ayassus was overwhelming, and he could not defend the vast depth with his own troops, so King Lu's idea was to concentrate his forces to annihilate or defeat the legions of Avamenro and Landuayas! In Liu Xin's eyes, this goal is still possible, and don't forget that in addition to the more than 20,000 Han troops in Yinyue at the moment, King Aland is also mobilizing troops from all over the country. And at this time, Liu Xin didn't know that the reinforcements were coming, and he was only four hundred miles away from Lan Ding.

Liu Xin kept enough secrets since Alin returned to the army, and for this reason General Lancer carried out a great purge of Roman prisoners of war, with the result that the corps of nearly 5,000 prisoners of war formed by his purge was already only 2,000 people, and the rest of the Roman soldiers who could not serve the Han were "dealt with" by Lancer! According to Ling Tong, the situation that day was extremely bloody! And to be able to use these two words for public performance, it shows how determined Lan Se is, Liu Xin also remained silent about this, although he is not used to killing prisoners, but in the current battle situation, he has no choice.

At this point, the loyalty of Lancer and the remaining 2,000 soldiers to the Han Dynasty has been fully revealed, Liu Xin immediately added Lancer as the general of Weinan, and the 2,000 Roman soldiers were organized into the sequence of the Han Expeditionary Force, and the king of Lu also gave Lancer the structure of the entire main army, resulting in more than a dozen people at the general level in this army alone. Liu Xin also told Lan Ther that his corps would not be replenished by the Han army, and that if he wanted to live up to his name, he would have to capture more prisoners, but all the supplies would be treated the same as the Han army according to their numbers.

Lancer was so excited about this, he finally found another purpose in life, if Liu Xin could defeat Ayassus, he would be able to form an army of more than 60,000 men, it would be worth his own efforts! Moreover, even if Ayassus had an army of 400,000 Lancers, he was still quite confident, because King Lu had told him that there were still more than 300,000 troops of the Han Expeditionary Force that would arrive at the Silver Moon Empire within a month, and he felt the most profound about the combat power of the Han army, and the elite Ayassus of more than 300,000 Han was not an opponent.

When Liu Xin returned to the army, he also specially ordered Lancer to select two soldiers from the army to send a message to the army of Ava Monro and Landu Ayas to convey the message, Lancer still arrived in Alin safely, and at this time the Han army led by Liu Xin was still violently attacking Alin, and the battle was very fierce! And the Roman army of Ayassus only had ten days to reach the Silver Moon. In Liu Xin's opinion, it was most appropriate to let Lancer do this, and it would be more likely to win the trust of the Roman general, and he would be able to get time to secretly return to the army, otherwise it would be difficult for Ava Monro and Landu Ayas to retract their strongholds.

Long before sending troops, Liu Xin had an agreement with King Aland that he would try his best to hold off the Roman legions for a month, and within this month, the Silver Moon Empire would concentrate an army of 100,000 troops, and according to Aland's description, the Silver Moon side had this strength. In this regard, King Lu also put forward a request, he wanted the quality of the soldiers rather than the quantity, all the soldiers must pass the inspection of Zhou Yu after being concentrated, and then led by Gong Jin as the Han army backup according to the situation. Whether in the mouth of his father or the second uncle, Zhou Yu is a rare commander talent, otherwise this expedition would not have allowed Zhou Lang to play the role of deputy commander.

It was said that it was delaying the Roman army for a month, but Liu Xin's performance made King Aland overjoyed, King Lu was indeed worthy of the name of the god of war, with only 20,000 Han troops and more than 10,000 silver moon cavalry, he won one after another in the confrontation with Ava Monro and Landu Ayas Corps! This also greatly strengthened the confidence of King Aland, and the combination of the soldiers of the Silver Moon Empire was also smoother, and by the time Liu Xin led the army to take Alin, the soldiers from all parties gathered in the national capital had exceeded 150,000, and after careful selection, Zhou Yu selected 60,000 infantry troops and 30,000 cavalry troops, strictly implementing Liu Xin's concept of elite soldiers.

When Liu Xin returned from Alin, he didn't know how many Silver Moon soldiers Aland had gathered, but he believed that with this important force, the Han army had the possibility of defeating the Roman legions, so when he led the army back, his heralds also hurried to the capital of the Silver Moon Kingdom to meet King Aland. Liu Xin's view was straightforward, and Zhou Yu personally commanded the Yinyue Corps to join him, in which he made a detailed analysis of Gongjin's ability to command the army, and asked King Aland to do his best to ensure his command.

At this time, the king of Aland no longer had the slightest suspicion of Liu Xin, after receiving the letter, he immediately summoned Zhou Yu, and ordered the three armies with his accessories, and at the same time the king also personally summoned the generals of Yinyue to speak, and in addition to using the various achievements of the Han army to boost the morale of his subordinates, he also gave a request, and in the subsequent battles, he must obey Zhou Yu's command in any case, otherwise he will be severely punished by military law.

Zhou Yu was still very satisfied with King Aland's performance, he knew that this was the work of King Lu, and it was also the work of the Great Han soldiers! After he surrendered to the Son of Heaven, he did not get the opportunity to command a large army to fight because there was no resistance in the world, and he did not expect that this first time he commanded more than 100,000 horses would be in a foreign land, and he commanded the Yinyue men and horses, not the Han soldiers.

But it was also a rare opportunity for Gong Jin to command the Silver Moon soldiers more than to command the Han army, and just after King Aland received the generals, he also gathered a group of Roman generals to conduct his first investigation. If you want to be a good commander, Gong Jin must have a full understanding of the generals under his command, and as for the Silver Moon Soldier, he has an understanding in the previous selection. In this meeting, Gong Jin's unique Confucian demeanor won the favor of most of the Silver Moon generals, although it was not yet convincing, but in terms of future battles, this favor was also extremely important.

After some careful preparations, Zhou Yu also led the army to set off, in order to prevent the Roman soldiers from probing him, he also adopted the way of night marching, after all, he was under the command of the local soldiers of Yinyue, and he had a natural advantage over the Han army in terms of concealed advances. As for the distribution of troops, Zhou Yu divided 50,000 cavalry troops to the two fortresses of Kaba and Luda, and cooperated with King Lu, Gong Jin obviously had his own ideas about the Roman legions, and he wanted to completely cut off the enemy's retreat.

The reason why it is 50,000 cavalry is because Zhou Yu allocated 25,000 war horses to the infantry army, he must rush the speed, although the soldiers of the Silver Moon Empire have a geographical advantage, but the marching speed is still not comparable to the Han army, if he changes to any of the eight main armies of the Han army, it will not be like this. It should be said that Gong Jin is still very meticulous in grasping the combat strength of his soldiers, and the siege cavalry will not play a big role, mainly relying on the infantry to take it down.

Zhou Yu wrote down his tactical ideas in detail and sent them to Liu Xin, the two armies must always have a distribution between the primary and secondary forces, in Gong Jin's eyes, the next battle should be based on the Silver Moon Corps led by him, the number of Han troops is too small and Liu Xin's continuous combat is conceivable even if he does not count the fatigue of the soldiers running back and forth, so King Lu is more advantageous as a side to cooperate.

There is another point that Gong Jin has an advantage over King Lu, he received the news that the second army of Huwei and Long Xiang had arrived under the city of Lan Ding before Liu Xin, whether it was Situ Fei or Shi Lian after coming to the battlefield, they would definitely send news to the capital of Yinyue Kingdom, and this information was extremely critical to the overall battle situation. At the same time as arraignating Liu Xin, Zhou Yu also issued a military order to Situ Fei in the name of the deputy commander of the expeditionary force, ordering him and Liao Hua to do whatever it takes to hold back the Roman legions, and if necessary, they can even abandon the city to achieve this goal, Zhou Yu believes that Liu Xin will be able to cooperate with him perfectly.

Since Alin was twice as far away from Lan Ding as the capital of Yinyue Kingdom, Situ Fei and Shi Lian still received Zhou Yu's order first, and the two did not hesitate at all, and the deputy marshal had already pointed out the overall situation for them in the military order. With their eyes, of course, they can see the correctness of Zhou Yu's layout, and it seems that only in this way can the Han army see the possibility of annihilating the Roman legions.

"General Shi, don't hesitate, I'll leave immediately, you stay here and continue to deal with General Liaohua." After receiving Zhou Yu's military order in the middle of the night, Situ Fei and Shi Jian couldn't take a break, and immediately got up to review the battle situation, and finally the two reached a consensus that if they wanted to achieve the most favorable situation for the Han army, they must leave Ava Monroe and Lando Ayas under the city of Lan Ding for two days, and for the sake of insurance, they must also block their way to retreat west! No matter how much sacrifice was worth it, Situ Fei did not hesitate to choose to lead his army to block the Roman legions that might retreat.

"This kind of thing is related to the overall situation, you can't just let the Tiger Guard take the responsibility, in my opinion, all the cavalry of the two armies will be handed over to you, once Captain Taishi comes, I will let him hand over all the cavalry to you, and the infantry army will be left to Shi, one to contain the enemy army to attack Lan Ding, and the other can also be in the middle of the strategy, even if our army does not rely on General Liaohua's Qinglong Army to hold on for a few more days, it will not be a problem." Shi Jian pondered for a moment and then said categorically.
