This had a huge impact on the hearts of the princes and their advisors. This impact lasts for a long time, one wave is stronger than another, and only Cao Yuan, Liu and others are not affected.
Along the way of the expedition, Qin Feng's miraculous schemes emerged one after another, repeatedly inflicting heavy losses on the Romans. These many schemes have never appeared in the military history of China for thousands of years. It's a miracle of war.
Although the princes refused to admit it, the shock in their hearts had gradually turned into fear and awe for Qin Feng personally.
The genius of war, who has not been seen for a thousand years, is a man who was born to fight.
In fact, Qin Feng was very embarrassed, if Cao Yuan and Liu went to the future to gild, they should also have something to do.
But the fact is that Cao Yuan and Liu don't have this opportunity. Qin Feng is destined to leave a strong mark in this era. His advanced concept of war began to influence this era, and if it is passed down, it will affect future generations. In this way, whether there was a chicken or an egg first, it is impossible to say here in Qin Feng. But there is Qin Feng first, that must be an indisputable fact.
Capture the entire Mediterranean fleet, and the alliance of princes has its own huge invincible armada. Such a brilliant victory was exhilarating to the whole army.
Cao Cao immediately proposed to use the Chinese Invincible Armada to hit Severus hard.
But Qin Feng objected.
The princes looked at each other, Qin Zijin disagreed, did he have a unique opinion?
"Why?" Yuan Shaotou asked.
Qin Feng began to explain, "The most important thing at this moment is to seize the important western town, the port city of Ephesus. ”
The princes were somewhat enlightened.
"The news of our capture of the Mediterranean Fleet has not yet leaked, and if we attack Severus, the news will leak. Ephesus will be on guard. And if we attack Ephesus before the news spreads, we will be able to accomplish it. Severus's grain and grass are all in Ephesus, and when Ephesus is captured, Severus is the turtle in the urn. His army is hungry and can destroy him without blood. ”
"Wonderful!" Yuan Shaotou Avenue.
"Ringworm is more admirable." Liu Bei fanned his big ears.
Cao Cao's face darkened, and he said, "Zijin is so right, when our Mediterranean fleet entered the harbor of Ephesus, the Romans thought their fleet was back. At that time, we took the opportunity to launch and seize Ephesus, which was guarded by two legions, with ease. Cao Cao also deliberately flipped his palm.
So Qin Feng didn't stop, and appointed Sun Ce as the commander of the Huaxia fleet to lead the fleet to attack Ephesus. He also ordered the princes to rebuild the shore defense offensive to prevent Severus from ferocious counterattack after receiving the news.
At this time, the sky was also bright, the fleet was gone, and the soldiers of the Chinese Alliance Army were in high spirits and began to build fortifications on the north shore.
And the Romans on the south bank were a little dumbfounded.
"How did the Mediterranean Fleet go? Quick, report to Commander Severus! The shore defense commander panicked.
Shaoqing, the Great Tent of the Roman Army.
Severus walked out in his Roman pants, scratching his legs, yawning, and said, "What's the matter?" "Yesterday was the day he slept soundest, with the Imperial Mediterranean Fleet here, he was already invincible.
"Report to the commander-in-chief, the Mediterranean fleet has all been pulled out!" The arraignment officer thumped his chest.
"What!" Severus was clever and energetic, "Catullus is gone, he left without saying a word, what does he mean?" ”
Severus was anxious, "Could it be that something is wrong with the Senate?" Quick, immediately send someone to chase Catullus and ask what the hell is going on? ”
Half an hour later.
Octavian, Caesar, Pompey and other glorious bloodlines were concentrated in Severus's tent. Everyone brainstormed and came to many conclusions, and the only thing that was recognized by everyone was that something had happened in the center of the empire. It should have been an unfavorable change for Severus, and the Mediterranean Fleet was transferred without passing through Severus.
Perhaps it was a coup d'état against Severus' forces.
"Report to ......, Commander-in-Chief, General Catullus refuses to meet." The intelligence officer brought such information.
"Have you seen Catullus himself?" Severus asked.
"Yes, Catullus stood on the deck and refused to meet me." The intelligence officer said.
Octavian's heart was heavy, and looking at it, there was a chance that it was a coup d'état. It must be a political opponent who wants to expel Severus from the inner circle of imperial power. Even Catullus, who was loyal to Severus, rebelled, and the situation was quite serious.
Severus's face was gloomy, and the word coup d'état had already overshadowed all his thoughts, and he immediately sent his henchmen and intelligence officers to secretly go to the city of Rome to find out the specific situation. He also sent a number of intelligence officers, and he began to connect with the forces that belonged to him in the provinces, as well as friendly forces.
On the other hand, after another hour of sailing, Qin Feng and his apprentices, as well as the governor of Dadu, as well as the generals of the naval army in Jingzhou Jiangdong, led the Huaxia fleet and approached the port of Ephesus.
The flagship Harvest Goddess, a ship in the lead. Everywhere the decks were full of bearded Roman soldiers. And the decks of the ships were also full of Roman soldiers.
And in the storage compartment below deck, there was a pile of Roman prisoners, all tied up with flowers, and all without hair or beard.
On the foredeck of the Goddess of Harvest, Qin Feng and they are all here, and they are still carrying Catullus.
Catullus wanted to cry without tears, "Qin Zijin is too cunning, he ordered his soldiers to disguise themselves as imperial soldiers, and this time, Ephesus is about to fall." And he was terrified that if Ephesus fell, Severus' army would run out of food. Severus's army was wiped out, and the empire had no army to resist the Chinese invasion of the inner circle of the empire.
The Chinese fleet approached Ephesus.
Ephesus sent a cordon.
Behind Qin Feng was Catullus, who loudly conveyed the order that the port of Ephesus needed to be docked.
Ephesus harbor did not doubt him, and also welcomed Qin Feng and them into the port.
Ten minutes later, thick smoke billowed from the port of Ephesus, and the sound of killing shook the sky.
"Wow, the Mediterranean Fleet has defected!"
The garrison of Ephesus was caught off guard, and the slain scattered and fled.
"What's going on, what the hell is going on, Catullus, you actually betrayed the Empire!" Tiberius, the provisional governor of Ephesus, was furious.
"Qin Zijin, he is Qin Zijin, don't care about my business!" Catullus finally mustered up his courage and screamed, ignoring the spikes in the door.
"Qin Zijin!" Tiberius was broken, and he understood the cause and effect.
The expeditionary force of the alliance of 30,000 Chinese princes attacked by surprise, and the 10,000 Roman troops of the two legions of Ephesus were defeated.
Qin Feng captured Ephesus.
On September 16, 195 AD, the day after the Roman Mediterranean fleet entered the Kisste River, it was captured by Qin Feng and thus captured Ephesus. Known in history as the 'Great Victory at Ephesus', the Mediterranean Fleet fell one day and created a miracle of war. And Qin Feng also achieved another miracle because of this, leaving a strong mark in the history of Chinese expeditions. (To be continued.) )
