Chapter 1310: Unprecedented Strength
Caracalla's face turned slightly pale, and he nodded, "That's it!" Let Khedira go to the north! He is no match for the Wei army, but he should have no problem dealing with the rebels! ”
"Yes!"
To the north, the city of Rotomagus. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Although it was early summer, the city of Rotomagus, located on the coast of the North Sea, was cold.
The city was one of the northernmost cities of the Roman Empire, with a population of only a few tens of thousands, and was a city that relied on fishing.
"My lord, now all the main forces of Caracalla have gone to deal with the Wei people! We might as well sweep the northern provinces! General Quaid said excitedly.
The generals agreed, but Alayang, as the governor, was a little hesitant.
"What do you seem to be worried about, my lord?" General Arthur asked curiously.
Alayang glanced at the generals and asked in a deep voice, "Do you really think that we have the strength to sweep through the northern provinces?" ”
The generals exchanged a look of surprise, and Arthur asked puzzledly, "What do you mean?" ”
Alayang got up and walked down the hall, "Although the main force of Caracalla is contained by the Wei people, the current situation of the Wei people is not optimistic, in addition to the army of Caracalla, there is also the army of the Jin people!" If we have to wait, wait for the perfect time! ”
The generals looked at each other, and Arthur asked, "What is the best time for your lordship?" ”
Alayang frowned, "The Wei army has a big victory!" ”
There was silence as everyone thought that the possibility was very slim.
"My lord, what if the Wei army is defeated?" Arthur asked.
Alayang sighed, "Then we can only keep England as much as possible!" "It looks very melancholy.
In the days that followed, Alayan led his army to plunder several towns north of Durances, and perhaps because they did not intend to return, they resorted to the most brutal methods, taking the population captive, burning and looting, and the local people called them devils.
However, Alayan's actions were good news for the Roman Empire.
This not only shows that the rebels of Alayan's army do not intend to occupy these places for long, but also deprives them of the support of the local people, and thus uses the basis for establishing a foothold here, and although the people are like ants in troubled times, they are also a decisive force.
Gaze back to the Western Regions.
After a long and multi-day trek, the 160,000 reinforcements led by Cao Cao finally arrived at Qiuci, the seat of the Western Regions Protectorate of the Great Wei Empire.
Here Cao Cao received the kings and members of the royal family from the Western Regions.
That same evening.
Cao Cao carefully looked at the information in his hand, Dian Wei and Xun Yu were separated from Cao Cao, and Wei Yan and Sima Yi stood under the hall.
Cao Cao put down the information in his hand and said to Sima Yi with an appreciative face: "Zhongda, you did a good job!" I can't believe that you have raised food and grass for a million army in the Western Regions for three months in just one month! ”
Sima Yi was secretly happy in his heart, and bowed humbly: "It's all because of Your Majesty Weijiahai!" Weichen didn't dare to take credit! ”
Cao Cao smiled, "Zhongda doesn't have to be too humble!" It's your credit! ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Cao Cao frowned, "The current situation is not optimistic!" According to the intelligence of Jinyiwei, the 1.5 million army of the Romans and the nearly one million army of the Jin people have already been poured over! And the total strength of our army is only a little more than half of theirs! It's not an easy battle! ”
Everyone present nodded in agreement; Dian Wei patted his chest and said with a grin: "Your Majesty, it's just a local chicken and a dog, what's the point?" ”
Everyone laughed, and Cao Cao smiled: "Dian Wei is brave!" ”
With a straight look, "But this battle is really not easy!" The two empires do their best! Although I am conceited, I also feel a heavy pressure! ”
Seeing that everyone's faces were worried, he smiled: "But don't worry too much!" Our Great Wei Empire has never been defeated, not in the past, and not in the future! There was a hint of pride on his face.
The crowd couldn't help but get excited.
Cao Cao asked Sima Yi, "Are the 11th and 12th legions already in place?" ”
"Arrived on the Western Front yesterday!"
Cao Cao nodded, "Very good!" In this way, the military strength of the entire Western Front increased to 900,000 people, and although the Romans were at a disadvantage, it was still possible to hold the front! ”
Cao Cao got up and walked to the sand table, and everyone followed.
The sand table in front of Cao Cao reflects the topography and landform of the entire Assyrian and Western Regions, which is obviously much more detailed than a few years ago, and this is all due to the intelligence agency.
Cao Cao's gaze fell on the northern line of Kangju and the mountains of Khorezm, "At present, our army's defensive forces on the northern front include the Second Army Corps, the Fourth Army Corps, the Western Regions Army and the Seventh Army Corps, which should be enough!" The 150,000 troops I brought with me will not reinforce any front for the time being, and will be used as a reserve in the Green Ridge Fortress, ready to rush to the aid of any front at any time! ”
Wei Yan hugged his fists and said, "Your Majesty is thoughtful! But in this way, he will be beaten passively! The victory or defeat on the battlefield depends entirely on the other side, can we think of some proactive solutions? ”
Cao Cao shook his head, "I understand what Wen Chang means!" ”
Picked up a wooden stick on the side of the sand table and clicked on the various passes and key points on the sand table, "According to the intelligence, the enemy has deployed heavy troops in all passes and key points, and they are strictly guarded, and it is impossible for our army to break into the enemy's hinterland and sweep through the column as before!" ”
Xun You frowned when he saw Wei Yan and Sima Yi, and said with a smile: "But Your Majesty has another plan!" His Majesty has ordered the local garrisons of Bingzhou, Qingzhou, and Jizhou to assemble in Dingbei City! ”
Sima Yi and Wei Yan's eyes lit up, and Wei Yan hugged his fists with admiration and said, "Your Majesty has no last resort!" It's not too late! ”
Cao Cao laughed and patted Wei Yan on the shoulder, "Wen Chang doesn't have to be too humble!" ”
Cao Cao frowned, "At present, there are 400,000 troops in the entire Northern Protectorate, and the defense force of the Tunguska Fortress and its surroundings is 250,000 horses, and the terrain of the Tunguska River and its surroundings is extremely steep, and the turbidity of the Tunguska River is monstrous!" It's not easy to break through! ”
Smiled, "But we can let North and South Siberia take the lead!" ”
Everyone smiled.
Cao Cao consulted with everyone until late at night before resting.
Early the next morning, Cao Cao left Qiuzi with an army of 160,000 men, and arrived at the fortress of Green Ridge a few days later.
As soon as Cao Cao arrived at the fortress of Green Ridge, bad news came that the Roman army and the Jin army were already in place, and the Alex rebels attacking Jerusalem still did not make any progress.
Cao Cao frowned.
"Your Majesty, do you want to go to the front in person?" Xun Yu asked.
Cao Cao thought for a moment and shook his head, "Not for the time being!" Smiled, "I'm gone, I'm afraid that Zilong and Wen Yuan won't dare to let go of the command!" ”
Xun You smiled, hugged his fists and said, "Your Majesty is wise!" ”
Then he frowned and said, "Your Majesty, the big war is about to begin!" ”
Cao Cao nodded, "It's too quiet!" It's like before the storm! I hope God bless me Dawei! ”
Xun You hesitated, "Your Majesty, the minister has a sentence that I don't know whether to say or not!" ”
"Say it! Don't be afraid! ”
"Yes! Your Majesty, although the minister thinks that it is impossible for our Great Wei Heavenly Army to fail, should we make some plans for the situation after the defeat? Xun You said cautiously.
Cao Cao frowned and nodded lightly, "Not bad!" Plan ahead, that's as it should be! ”
"Your Majesty is wise!" Xun You hurriedly said.
Cao Cao laughed, "Wise fart!" In fact, your advice made me very unhappy! ”
Xun You smiled and said: "Your Majesty, you are the wisest monarch since the beginning of the world, and you will never fail to listen to the advice of your subordinates!" ”
Cao Cao smiled, "You throw this big hat over, I have to pretend to be a faint king!" ”
With a straight look, "Gongda, this suggestion of yours is very good!" But how can you and I have the energy to think about these issues at this time? Send this issue back to Chang'an, and let Wen Ruo and Gongtai go to work! ”
Xun You couldn't help but smile and clenched his fists in agreement.
Eyes turn to the Roman province of Cappadocia.
Today, the province of Cappadocia has been turned into a large barracks, where 1.5 million Roman troops are gathered, and where almost all the land forces of the Roman Empire are gathered, the Romans are desperate!
"Your Excellency, why don't you attack yet? The people of the Jin Kingdom are also in place! A burly general asked impatiently.
This is the first brave general under Seth, but also the first brave general in the whole of Rome, named Taylor, a Spartan, in more than ten years of conquest without encountering an opponent, so that the Jin people were terrified, in the previous war with the Jin people in the Wright Province had fought with Xu Chu for more than 100 rounds without winning or losing.
Seth analyzed: "Her Majesty is a little worried! I estimate that the order to attack will not be issued until the Jin people start a war with the Wei people first! ”
Taylor grinned, "It's just too much! We can sweep away the Wei army!! ”
Seth shook his head, "It's not that simple! ”
glanced up, "Have you forgotten the results of our army's battle against the Wei army and the Mo Sword Army before?" ”
frowned, "Nearly 10,000 people were killed in the battle, and the Wei army and the Mo Sword Army lost no more than 100 people!" Although it is mainly because the armor of the Wei army is too strong and the weapons are sharp, we currently have no way to restrain the elite of the Wei army! The enemy is on the defensive, with an army strength of 900,000 men, and it will not be easy for our army to break through their defenses! ”
Glancing at the generals who looked at the enemy, Zhengse said: "No one can take it lightly, otherwise it is a trivial matter if you die yourself, and if you put the entire empire in danger, then your name will always be the object of spit!" ”
The generals were heartbroken and promised together.
The armies of the two sides are facing each other across a province of Sofina, and the total strength is far more than two million, although such a scale cannot be said to be unprecedented, but it is absolutely unprecedented! (To be continued.) )
