Xi Zhicai frowned and said, "But if you fail······"

Cao Cao frowned when he heard this, and then said categorically: "We will never lose this battle!" Come, gather the generals immediately! ”

"No!"

The war drums at the highest point of the palace rang out loudly, exuding an atmosphere of solemnity. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Diao Chan, who was chatting, heard the sound of war drums, and they couldn't help but stop, turned their heads to look in the direction where the war drums came from, and their faces were a little worried.

"It seems that there is another big battle!" Diao Chan frowned.

Zhen Mi said: "I think this time seems unusual! The women nodded in agreement.

In fact, not only them, but also the people of Chang'an who heard the sound of war drums couldn't help but have such thoughts.

Dozens of people in Chang'an's generals entered the Fengtian Palace.

"Your Majesty!" And they will pray together.

Cao Cao nodded, "Get up!" ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" The congregations will stand and stand on the right and left.

Cao Cao glanced at the generals, "I believe you already have a premonition!" Yes, the big war will begin! This war should not only determine the life and death of the Three Kingdoms, but also determine the future hegemony of the world, and even more determine whether our Great Wei can create a battle for hegemony for thousands of years! If this battle is won, then I and you will definitely go down in history, and my Great Wei will surely illuminate the world! ”

Cao Cao's words made all the generals present enthusiastic, and Xiahoudun couldn't wait to clasp his fists and said: "Your Majesty, you can't leave the last general behind this time!" Immediately, all the generals also came out to fight.

Cao Cao smiled: "You don't have to worry! This war is related to the future and destiny of the empire, and no one will be left behind! ”

Immediately, Cao Cao ordered: "I order the garrisons and reserve forces of Luoyang, Yongzhou, Bingzhou, Qingzhou, Yanzhou, Jingzhou, Yizhou, and Jizhou to fully mobilize and assemble in Chang'an, and the remaining state garrisons and reserve forces as the last reserves!" The main army will immediately leave for the Western Regions! ”

"No!"

That same evening.

The next day, the Wei Army's Fifth Army Corps and the Twelfth Army Corps left Chang'an under the leadership of Xiahoudun, and at the same time, the states that had already received orders were gathering troops.

Cao Cao walked slowly by the lake in the Imperial Garden, his mind full of the great battle that would soon follow.

Cao Le suddenly rode his little gray and ran over. From afar, he waved his little hand at Cao Cao and shouted, "Father! ”

Cao Cao's thoughts returned to his eyes, and when he saw Cao Le, all his troubles disappeared in an instant.

Cao Le ran in front of his father, jumped down, raised the blade in his hand very imposingly, and said excitedly: "Father, I want to go to the battlefield with you!" ”

Cao Cao was stunned for a moment, picked up this little naughty, and said with a smile: "Girl, fighting is not a game for children!" ”

Cao Le raised his chin proudly, "People are not children!" People want to be generals! ”

At this time, Cao Ji, the kid, also rode over on his little pony, "Father, I'm going to fight too!" ”

This little guy also looks like a little adult.

Cai Yan, Zhen Mi, and Diao Chan were turning around the corner.

Cao Cao squatted down, looked at his three children and couldn't help but feel gratified, and said with a smile: "When you grow up, your father will take you to war!" ”

His eyebrows were raised, and he shouted imposingly: "Now I will go back to find your mother!" ”

"Father!" The three children begged.

Cao Cao's eyes widened, and the three children pouted and shrunk their necks.

In the next ten days, Cao Cao put down everything and accompanied Diao Chan and the children.

Half a month later, all the garrisons of the states were assembled in Chang'an, with a total strength of 500,000 troops, and at the same time, the reserve forces of the states were being intensified.

Subsequently, Cao Cao and a group of generals led the 500,000-strong army to the west.

By this time, the war on the Western Front had already begun.

A fierce battle broke out between the scout troops of both sides at the junction of the two forces, and then a large battle broke out on the plain on the western side of the border, with iron hooves and smoke and dust.

Two days later, Seth led 18 main legions and 300,000 garrisons, a total of 1.2 million troops, across the border line, covering the sky and the sun to press on Duraolopos, who was at the forefront of the storm, and defending Duraolopos was the sixth legion of the Wei army and 50,000 garrisons formed by the native Assyrians, a total of 150,000 horses, and the Wei general Zhang Ren was responsible for the defense.

Dura Europos has been reinforced by the Wei army since it was occupied by the Wei army, and the current Dura Europos is completely different from the original, the area is more than doubled, there are two city walls, and there are special positions for catapults to shoot on the wall.

At the same time, the general Yusuf led the four main army corps and the servant army of the Bosphoru Kingdom, a total of 250,000 troops out of the Caucasus Mountains, towards Artashat, who is currently defending Artasat is the Eighth Army of the Wei Army, and is responsible for defending the Wei General Yan Yan.

A few days later, Seth attempted to surround Dura Europos with one of his main forces while continuing eastward.

If this strategy is implemented, the Wei front is in danger of being divided and surrounded.

A carrier pigeon flew into the camp of the Feng Wei army in Qinxi. At this time, Zhao Yun was thinking in front of the sand table, and the flags representing all parties on the sand table showed the general situation of the enemy and us at present, and on the whole, the situation of the Wei army was very bad.

"General, the flying pigeon in front of you!" The ministry general Zhao Tuo came in to report.

Zhao Yun took the book, read it, frowned, looked at the sand table in front of him, moved several flags representing the Roman army to the east, and frowned: "It seems that Seth doesn't plan to consume with us in Dura Europos!" The order went down, the original plan was changed, all the troops attacked, and the opponent must be blocked west of the Camphor River! ”

The Camphor River is a dozen miles east of Dura Europos, and it is not turbulent or wide, but it is the only barrier to the west of the entire Assyrian region!

Subsequently, Zhao Yun gathered the army that remained in Qinxifeng and marched westward.

A few days later, Ma Chao led 50,000 iron horsemen to a forest more than ten miles east of the Camphor River.

The scout reported: "General, the enemy army has crossed the river!" Other large forces are preparing to cross the river! ”

Ma Chao frowned, "How many enemy troops are there crossing the river?" ”

"About 200,000 people! All of them were Roman legions, and there was also a Spartan legion among them! ”

"General, what now?" Ma Tie asked.

Ma Chao thought for a moment, shook the whip suddenly, and said categorically: "What should I do, immediately order all teams to prepare to attack!" ”

Ma Tie was taken aback, and said urgently: "General, we only have 50,000 cavalry, and the other party is the main force of 200,000, including 50,000 Spartan legions!" If you attack head-on, you're only afraid of ······"

"Less nonsense! We can't let the enemy cross the Camphor River! If you can fight, you have to fight, if you can't fight, you have to fight, immediately create, and the whole army will attack! ”

"No!"

At about the same time, the scouts of both sides met unexpectedly not far ahead, and after a brief battle, the two sides separated.

Soon after, Seth's subordinate Cartes received an urgent report from the scouts, and Carters was not surprised by this, and immediately ordered all armies to prepare for battle.

However, Carters did not expect the Wei army to come so quickly.

Carters had barely given the order when a terrible intelligence voice came from outside the barracks.

Carters was shocked and hurried out of the camp, only to see countless black cavalry surging from the east like a tide.

The Wei cavalry broke through the weak defense line of the Roman army and entered the camp, turning the Roman army camp upside down, which was the camp of the Roman Ninth Legion.

Almost at the same time, two other waves of Wei cavalry entered the camp of the Seventh and Eighth Legions of the Roman Army from the left and right flanks.

The Wei army's iron cavalry rushed across the Roman army camp, only to see the iron hooves trampling the enemy soldiers down, and only a sea of blood was seen in the dazzling sword light. The murderous iron cavalry of the Wei army is like a killing god who has come to the world from the netherworld, they are the spokesmen of death, and everywhere they go, the corpse mountains and the sea of blood flow like rivers.

The battle lasted for two quarters of an hour, but the Wei cavalry was not able to completely crush the Roman army, which was caught off guard and suffered heavy losses, but still desperately fought against the terrible charge of the iron cavalry.

The combat effectiveness of the main Roman legions was indeed not to be taken lightly.

The battle gradually turned into a stalemate, and the hundreds of thousands of Roman troops were entangled in tens of thousands of Wei cavalry.

At the same time, the Second Spartan Army had already assembled and was pouring towards the Wei army, and the square formation carried the momentum of overwhelming the mountains and seas.

Ma Chao picked up a Roman general in front of him with a shot, glanced at the Roman army Spartan legion, and then looked at his own situation, and couldn't help frowning.

Ma Tie, who was covered in blood, galloped to Ma Chao's side, "General, we can't break the enemy army anymore, let's retreat quickly!" ”

Ma Chao hesitated for a moment and nodded helplessly.

The Wei cavalry quickly disengaged from the Roman army, and the Ninth Army tried to stop it, but was swept away by the surging iron hooves of the Wei army.

The Wei army headed east, and soon disappeared into the afterglow of the setting sun.

The Wei army retreated, but Carters was not happy at all, the camp in front of him was in shambles, many tents and places where grain and grass were stacked were burning, and the soldiers were cleaning up the corpses of their comrades and treating the wounded, everyone looked depressed.

That night, Seth, who was still on the west bank of the Camphor River, received Cartes' report and frowned, believing that the setback in the first battle did not bode well.

"Your Excellency, I wonder what happened to General Carters?" One of the generals asked nervously, and the other generals all looked concerned.

Seth said indifferently: "The Wei army's iron cavalry raided our outpost camp, and our army suffered a lot of losses, but the enemy army did not succeed!" ”

Hearing Seth say this, the generals couldn't help but feel a lot more relieved. (To be continued.) )
