In the center of Izmir, there is the large mansion of the Roman consul, which is now Qin Feng's temporary residence. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

In the hall, Qin Feng sat high, with his henchman Wenwu below, as well as his apprentice Sun Ce and his henchmen Zhou Tai, Zhu Huan, and Zhou Yu.

"Yuan Benchu, they have entered the army?" Qin Feng asked expressionlessly.

"Yes." Xu Shu said carefully.

"The alliance has nearly 200,000 troops, and there are 100,000 foreign legions. What do you think of Yuan Benchu and their going? Qin Feng asked.

Xu Shu, Jia Xu, and Fu Zhu glanced at each other, but no one said anything.

Zhou Yu wanted to speak and stopped, for Qin Feng's going into the wilderness, Zhou Yu had nothing to do with himself. Sun Ce did not continue to participate in military operations, but he was happy.

Qin Feng didn't ask any more questions, so he said to Sun Ce: "Wukong, you go back to reorganize the army, no matter whether Yuan Benchu wins or loses, we must be fully prepared." ”

"Yes!" Sun Ce got up and saluted, and then took Zhou Yu and them away.

As soon as Sun Ce left on the front foot, Xu Shu opened the conversation box on the back foot, "Lord, Yuan Benchu is unpredictable when they go here." If they are victorious, it will be very unfavorable to me to welcome Your Majesty. If we lose, I'm afraid we won't be able to gain a foothold in the West. ”

Things have developed here, no matter whether they win or lose, it will be extremely unfavorable to Qin Feng. Even if it's a trio of military advisors, they can't see through the future.

Three days later, Ephesus.

"What? The alliance of Chinese princes deposed Qin Zijin as the leader of the alliance, and the whole army was about to arrive at Ephesus? ”

Severu was shocked when he got the news, "There is such a good thing? Ha, God help me! ”

Octavian said: "Commander, this time the Chinese princes alliance troops are pressing the border, I think the intention is to encircle and annihilate our army, we must not let them surround Ephesus, we should keep the enemy out of the city." ”

Severus nodded happily, he thought the same thing. Now he is not at a disadvantage in terms of strength, but if he is surrounded by the enemy in the city of Ephesus, he will be completely at a disadvantage of passive defense.

So Severus made a quick decision, and the army went north out of Ephesus to meet the alliance army of the Chinese princes in the south, seeking an opportunity for a decisive battle.

Another two days.

Seventy miles north of Ephesus, north of the alluvial plain of the Aegean Sea, flanked by the alliance of princes, and the Great Tent of the Chinese army.

"Severus is going to fight me."

Yuan Shao read the war book in detail, and his expression was quite similar to Qin Feng, and then it was spread all over the princes.

In fact, Yuan Shao didn't understand a single word of the romanized war book. But fortunately, there are three translations of Anxi, Guishan, and the Western Regions. It was first translated into the Sabbath language, then translated into Kushan, and then translated by the Western Regions into Chinese. This allowed the alliance of Chinese princes to communicate with the Romans.

"Guys, what do you think of this?" Yuan Shao asked.

Lu Bu said proudly: "This matter is very much in line with me, it just cleaned up the Romans at one time, saving one trouble after another." ”

Liu Bei's big ears fanned and said, "What Wen Hou said is very true, destroying the Romans in a field battle is a hundred times stronger than attacking a city. ”

Everyone knows that siege warfare is difficult. Now there is an opportunity to destroy the Romans in a field battle, and the princes will not refuse.

Cao ** blushed and said, "Since Severus has come to make an appointment, he must be sure of the decisive battle." In my opinion, it is better to lure the enemy deeper, divide the troops to attack and harass, exhaust the enemy, and find another time for a decisive battle. ”

The princes were stunned, and said in their hearts, how can they talk to Qin Zi?

Yuan Shao said unhappily: "Meng De, I think you are completely affected by Qin Zijin, how can you be like him?" The Romans are no match for us at all, and in this situation, it is in our best interest to fight head-on as soon as possible. ”

The princes expressed their approval, so the minority obeyed the majority, and Cao Cao could only reserve his opinion.

Half a day later, in the southern part of the alluvial plain of the Aegean Sea, on the side of the Roman army, the Great Tent of the Chinese army.

"The Chinese people agreed to fight a decisive battle the day after tomorrow?" Severus clenched his fists hard. He was worried that the Huaxia people would not agree at first, but at this moment he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Pompey couldn't help but say: "All this time, our army has not had the opportunity to set up a formation to meet the enemy. This head-on decisive battle let the Chinese people know the strength of our Roman phalanx. ”

Severus got up, put on a big red brush helmet, and said solemnly: "Pass my order, recuperate today and tomorrow, and wipe out the Huaxia people in one go before the decisive battle on the third day." ”

News and orders immediately spread throughout the vast Roman military camp.

"What! Thor's hammer was deposed by the Huaxia people! ”

"Great, on the third day, the blood debt of the Huaxia people will be repaid!"

As soon as the news came out, I heard that Qin Zijin was no longer commanding the allied army of the Chinese princes, and the morale of the Roman soldiers soared, and they all put down a big stone in their hearts.

As time passed, the sunrise and sunset rotated, and soon came the decisive day.

The battle of this day, known as the 'Battle of Ephesus', was recorded in the history books of later generations of scholars from the East and the West.

This was the great battle of Ephesus that decided the fate of Rome and China.

The plain of the Buddha is located on the Aegean Sea, 35 kilometers north of the Aegean Sea, facing the Atik Strait and surrounded by mountains behind it. The plain of Ephesus is crescent-shaped, nineteen kilometers long, and about five kilometers wide in the middle.

On July 13, 195 A.D., the alliance of Chinese princes and the Roman army came to the center of the plain. An army of 600,000,000 came and broke the usual silence of the plain of Ephesus.

The 600,000-strong army of both sides squeezed the center of the crescent-shaped plain, and from a distance, the figure of the opposing army had been built into a huge barracks.

The Roman army was familiar with geography when they fought on their own soil, and they occupied slightly higher terrain, which allowed them to look down on the plain and observe the movements of the army of the princes' alliance.

In the early morning sun, in the sound of the rolling waves, the two armies had already begun to confront each other.

The allied army of the princes in the northern part of the plain was in good shape and was in no hurry to attack the Roman army.

On the side of the Roman army in the south of the plain, the atmosphere was very tense, and everyone was solemn.

After many defeats, the Romans had already taken out all their possessions, and they could not afford to lose again.

Thankfully, the Romans were led by a wise senator. And their imperial generals are bent on shame and have high fighting spirits.

The Romans were faced with an allied army of Chinese princes who had been invincible and invincible in recent years, and losing this battle could lead to the fall of Rome.

Severu was facing huge command pressure, "Fortunately, I don't have to face that Qin Zijin." Later, he made up his mind and began to mobilize his army.

At sunset, an earth-shattering trumpet sound was heard in the Roman phalanx in the distance, indicating that the Roman army had entered the stage of preparation for attack.

And the princes led by Yuan Shao were very relaxed. Since the expedition, the alliance of princes has maintained a complete victory over Rome, which has given them confidence in the coming decisive battle.

"Don't look at the Romans are well-equipped, in fact, they are silver spear wax rod heads, which are useless." When Yuan Shao said this, he specifically pointed out, "In the past, Qin Zijin's movement warfare and guerrilla warfare were mostly used. Today, we will show the Romans how powerful our army is in formation. ”

Therefore, Yuan Shao solicited the opinions of all the princes and laid out the most lethal cone formation among Sun Bin's Art of War and Ten Formations.

The princes hoped to break through the Roman phalanx in the middle through the most lethal formation through the most lethal formation, so as to divide the encirclement and completely destroy the enemy in one battle. (To be continued.) )
