Chapter 1268: Leaked
"Haha! Well, let's not talk about that! Wen Ruo, what are you here for? ā
Xun Yu thought of the purpose of his coming, and hurriedly took out a letter and presented it, "Your Majesty, this is a flying pigeon biography sent by General Lu Meng!" Shiwei has moved! ā
"Oh!"
Cao Cao took the handbook, read it quickly, and said with a smile: "Shiwei finally can't help it!" Tell Lu Meng to follow the plan he made before, and be sure to solve the problem of Shiwei and Nanban in one battle! ā
"Yes!" Xun Yu promised and retreated quickly. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Cao Cao returned to the Imperial Garden.
At this time, Cao Le was standing on the shore and directing her little ash to fish in the lake, and the little ash jumped left and right in the lake, setting off a splash in the sky, looking very happy.

Jerusalem area.
Immediately after receiving logistical supplies, Batra launched an onslaught on the rebel stronghold west of Jerusalem, capturing a stronghold guarded by 50,000 rebels in just three days. Batra then divided his forces into three routes, the middle route went straight to the lower wall of Jerusalem, and the north and south roads bypassed Jerusalem to attack the rear of the rebels.
In the face of the fierce offensive of the Roman army, the rebels did not sit still, Alex ordered his generals Rett and Reedes to sit in Jerusalem, and he took advantage of the night to lead all 50,000 cavalry out of the city, and raided the Roman army camp on the south road at the time of Nengcheng, and repelled the Roman army on the south road, and then turned the army to the north, bypassing the middle route army led by Batra himself, and raided the Roman army grain road, although the Roman army had been prepared for this, but the Roman army grain fleet was still hit hard.
It should be mentioned here that the tactics used by Alex's 50,000 cavalry were entirely given to them by the Wei instructors.
The swift and fierce fighting lasted for nearly half a month, and the Roman army failed to achieve its strategic goal of isolating Jerusalem, but Alex's rebels also faced a disadvantageous situation due to excessive consumption of logistics and supplies.
Susa Lodge.
Zhao Yun read the handbook, frowned, and called the general Zhao Tuo.
"General, what do you command?" Zhao Tuo asked with his fists clenched.
"Is there any news of General Gan Ning?"
"General Huiyu, not yet!"
Zhao Yun thought for a moment and ordered: "Please Mr. Zhongda to speed up the delivery of supplies!" At the same time, I sent a letter to ask General Gan Ning about their situation! ā
"No!" Zhao Tuo promised and retreated.
Zhao Yun walked to the sand table, and the sand table in front of Zhao Yun reflected the topography of the entire Assyria and the thirteen eastern provinces of the Roman Empire, as well as the sea conditions along the Red Sea to the Persian Gulf.
Zhao Yun looked at the location of Jerusalem, frowned, and then wrote a letter, called the herald, and ordered him to send it to Jerusalem.
At the same time, the Wei navy engaged in a tentative exchange of fire with the Roman navy in the Red Sea, and the battle continued until late in the evening, with each side retreating. Neither side paid any price in this battle.
That night, the Wei army's water village tent.
"Xingba, according to today's situation, it seems that the Romans are attacking our idea here!" Zhou Taidao.
Gan Ning laughed, "Okay! I'm afraid they won't come! Here, Lao Tzu stewed them in a pot! ā
Zhou Tai smiled: "I'm afraid it's not that simple!" ā
At this moment, a herald rushed into the big tent and reported: "Enlighten the two generals, the flying pigeon of the general of the expedition to the west!" As he spoke, he went out with a letter and presented it with both hands.
"Zilong's flying pigeon biography?!"
Gan Ning took it. After reading it, he handed the book to Zhou Tai and said, "Zilong asks about the situation on our side!" He also asked if it was possible for us to deliver supplies to the Jerusalem area! ā
Zhou Tai looked at it and asked, "Xingba, why do you go back to Zilong?" ā
"What's the matter! Of course, it's true! ā
Zhou Tai nodded and pondered: "It seems that the situation in Jerusalem is not too optimistic!" We have to find a way to break the enemy's blockade! ā
Gan Ning said with some annoyance: "I knew that I should have occupied both sides of the strait first!" ā
Zhou Taidao: "This is impossible! Don't forget, it's on their territory! We can fend off their attacks on the water, but on the way! Their land forces can completely drive us into the sea! ā
Gan Ning nodded, "You're right!" Hehe! Okay, let's get down to business! How do you think we can break the Roman naval blockade? ā
Zhou Tai pondered: "I'm afraid that it will be difficult to achieve the goal by forcibly attacking!" Not as good as"
Zhou Tai had an idea, and immediately said his thoughts.
Gan Ning's eyes lit up, and he slapped his thigh suddenly, "Okay!" This method is good! ā
Immediately, the two discussed the specific implementation strategy, and then Gan Ning called Sun Tao and passed down the order.
The next day, another small Roman fleet came to the water near the Wei army.
A Wei fleet of similar size immediately met the battle.
However, the battle on this day was completely different from the situation of the previous day, and the Wei army was completely pressed and beaten by the Romans.
Before evening, the Wei army abandoned two paralyzed and half-sunken warships and retreated into the water village.
The Roman navy excitedly pursued in front of the water wall, but was repelled by catapults placed on the shore of the Wei army.
On the way back, the Roman navy captured several Wei soldiers who had fallen into the water.
In the middle of the night, the Roman navy returned to their outpost.
This outpost was dozens of miles north of the Wei army's water village, on the Egyptian side, and was supported by the local garrison, so they were not too worried about the Wei army's naval raid.
At present, the Roman admiral Relund is located here, and more than half of the Roman navy is also here, in addition to tens of thousands of local garrisons and a regular army legion.
The army defending the northern straits of the Red Sea is the army and a part of the navy, relying on the geographical advantages of the strait, these forces are sufficient.
The attacking Roman general pressed three Wei prisoners to the Wei army's tent.
When the generals in the big tent saw the three captives in front of them, they couldn't help but show disbelief. It's hard to blame! How long has the Roman army fought the Wei army? At least for several years, there have been countless battles between the two sides, and the total number of casualties is unprecedented! However, the Romans don't seem to have caught the real Wei army yet, and they have all captured the servant army of various ethnic groups before, as well as some garrison troops, but they have not captured the real Wei army regular army!
"Your Excellency General, today our army won and captured these three prisoners!" The ministry will be excited.
Lielund hurriedly walked to the tent, glanced at the three captives in front of him, and said in jerky Chinese: "As long as you kneel down and beg for mercy, I will spare you from death!" ā
The three captives snorted, unmoved.
The generals couldn't help but be furious, and the general who had captured the three of them kicked one of the captives in the ankle, and the captives were in pain, knelt down on one knee, and then gritted their teeth and stood up, glaring at the generals fiercely.
The general was furious and drew his sword.
"Stop! Retire! Lielund stopped the general's behavior in time.
The general returned the sword into the shell and retreated to the side with a sullen face.
"I can tell you that the Imperial army has been assembled and can destroy your outpost at any time!" ā
The two captives frowned, and the third captive said unconvinced: "Hmph! We have five! ā
"Shut up!" A companion shouted.
The captive, who had almost slipped his mouth, quickly closed his mouth and looked at Lielund with an angry expression.
Lielund smiled slightly, and made a color to the two pro-soldiers standing at the entrance of the big tent, and the pro-soldiers immediately stepped forward and escorted the two Wei army prisoners, and the one who remained in the big tent was the one who almost leaked his mouth just now.
Lielund first intimidated him, but seeing that it had no effect, he changed his strategy and attacked from the side, and finally he was tricked into a lot of useful information.
Lielund couldn't help but secretly rejoice.
Let the soldiers take the prisoner down as well, and hurriedly walk to the sand table.
Lielund planted a black banner in the current location of the Wei army's water village, and said, "The deployment of the Wei army's troops is now roughly clear!" The other side has 50,000 land troops, which is consistent with the information we have obtained before! ā
Turning his head and glancing at the generals who fought today, "The main reason why you can win today's battle is because the combat effectiveness of the Wei people has decreased!" When they arrived in the area, most of them were given malaria! ā
The general asked, "Your Excellency, in that case, can we attack?" ā
The congregation will be sent to Lielund.
Lie Lund thought for a moment, shook his head, and said, "No! Wait! Wait for the intelligence of the secret agent! ā
"Spy? Your Excellency, have we also infiltrated this area? ā
Lielund nodded, "It's been nearly half a month!" Before that, the armies stepped up their training preparations! ā
"Yes!" The generals agreed in unison.
After the generals retreated, Lielund stared at the sand table in front of him in a daze, not knowing what he was thinking?
At the same time, the Roman Emperor Caracalla, who was far away in the Roman Palace, was very irritated, pacing back and forth in his bedchamber, holding the report of the war on Jerusalem that he had just received.
Caracalla's valet came in from outside with a plate of fruit.
Caracalla glanced at the maid and ordered, "Go and call the administrator and the intelligence minister to the study!" ā
The maid said yes and withdrew.
Caracalla changed into a formal suit and hurried out of the dormitory, heading towards the study, followed by several maids.
When Caracalla arrived in the study, Administrator Thomas and Intelligence Minister Yushchenko had arrived, both of whom had a premonition that something urgent might be happening.
Caracalla glanced at the two of them, shook the book in his hand, and frowned: "Batra's Left Route Army has been raided by the rebels recently, losing thousands of people!" A look of anger on his face.
Thomas and Yushchenko exchanged a look, and Thomas frowned and said, "Your Majesty, it seems that we all muttered about Alex before!" ā
Caracalla nodded, thought for a moment, and asked, "I plan to add two more legions to the Jerusalem area, what does the administrator think?" (To be continued.) )
