Cao Cao frowned, "Good month Kefeng!" I really underestimated him in the past! ”

Glancing at the battlefield that had stopped in front of him, he said categorically: "Order the forward battalion of the Fifth Army to storm the city wall!" Use a fire oil canister! ”

"No!"

One part of the Forward Battalion of the Fifth Army reinforced the officers of the Twelfth Legion, who were storming the walls along the ladder, and the other part attacked upwards from the collapsed gates. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The battle was fierce.

About two hours later, the Wei army, which had lost its spirit, withdrew its troops. The entire battlefield was filled with wolf smoke and corpses. This battle was really tragic enough.

In this battle, both the Wei army and the Kushan army paid a lot of price.

The Wei army returned to the camp and actively prepared for the next attack. And the Guishan Army seized the time to repair the city wall, and the mood of the officers and men of the Guishan Army was relatively solemn.

Over the next ten days, the Wei army continued to attack Tancha and Luo.

Tancha made Luo teetering under the attack of the Wei army. Both sides paid a very heavy price, but Tancha made Luo still in the hands of the Kushan army.

At the same time, Sun Ce's troops in the west were also storming the Kushan army's defense line on the east bank of the Indus River, but the attack did not go well due to the blocking of the river and other reasons.

And at this time, the Dawan army suddenly moved south to attack the Tianshan fortress.

Fortunately, the Wei army was prepared first, and the Dawan army was not able to achieve the effect of the surprise attack.

A stalemate ensued.

Shi Sima Yi, the governor of the Western Regions, quickly used the power granted by Cao Cao to gather the Western Regions coalition army, and at the same time asked Zhang Liao to send a cavalry out of the eastern flank of Guishan to flank Dawan.

Dawan Palace.

"The current situation is somewhat unexpected for us! The Wei people were prepared! King Dawan frowned slightly.

"What should we do now, King?"

"What else can I do? At this point, we can only persevere! ”

"It's so weird! The Wei people seem to be on guard against us!? King Dawan frowned.

"King, are we going to stop attacking for the time being?"

"No! At this point, there is no way back! Immediately send your right-hand men to all parts of the country to mobilize all the forces that can go to war! King Dawan said categorically.

"Yes!" Wan Xiang said yes and walked out of the hall quickly.

At this time, a general rushed in.

"King, Bezhe and the others have been arrested according to your orders!"

King Dawan nodded, "Very good!" ”

A group of Dawan ministers and generals, led by Beezhe, preferred the Wei Empire, believing that if a country like Dawan wanted to survive in this world, it must rely on a strong man like the Wei Empire, so they tried their best to maintain the relationship between the suzerainty and the protectorate with the Wei Empire.

However, there are other people in Dawan who are very hostile to the Wei Empire, and they think that if the Wei Empire hadn't defeated their Western Regions countries one after another and set up the Western Regions Protectorate, their current situation would have been better.

King Dawan commanded, "Don't snub them! No one can see them without my orders! ”

"Yes!"

Immediately southwest of the Dawan Palace, there was a large compound where they were imprisoned.

"My lord, if the king continues to toss like this, I'm afraid that it will push our Dawan into a place of no return!" A strong man in armor said worriedly.

His name is Potai, is a famous brave general of Dawan, was captured in the battle with the Wei army, and was later released, in the days when he was a prisoner, he saw the wealth and strength of the Wei Empire, since then he believes that Dawan should not be an enemy of the Wei people, but should be attached to the Wei people, there are many cases like him.

Beezher sighed, "What else can we do now?" I'm afraid that I can't protect myself! ”

There was a moment of silence.

An official who looked like a civilian official said, "My lord, we must not sit idly by! You must not watch Dawan be pushed into a desperate situation by them! ”

Another civil servant said: "Not necessarily! If Rome and Jin send troops at the same time, the result is unpredictable! ”

Beizhe said: "Okay! Don't say these useless words! We can't do anything we want to do here! ”

The crowd sighed.

At this time, the streets of the royal capital were shrouded in a kind of morbid euphoria.

The officials went around preaching the tyranny of the Wei people and calling on the people to fight the tyrannical Wei to the end, and the people gathered in the streets and alleys, howling hysterically.

However, there are also many people who did not participate in this kind of mass activity, and they were very worried, worried that they would wake up the next day and the Wei army would be in front of them.

The city of Cari, the capital of the Roman province of Osrowena.

Seth looked at the handbook in his hand and frowned: "It seems that the mood of the Roman government and the opposition is a little restless!" ”

"Your Excellency, what did Your Majesty say?" General Taylor couldn't help but ask.

Seth said, "Your Majesty, let's get ready to attack!" ”

"Your Majesty is going to attack?" Taylor asked excitedly.

Seth smiled and glanced up, "What?" Can't sit still? ”

Taylor laughed, "Not either! I just don't want to see the Wei people annex Guishan! ”

Seth said, "I don't want to! But it's hard to say if it's time to attack! ”

"And what did Your Majesty say?"

"Your Majesty just prepared us to attack, but didn't let us attack! Gather the generals immediately! ”

"Yes!" Taylor answered and stepped back.

Seth got up and walked to the sand table, looked at the situation of the two sides on the sand table and muttered, "Is the big war about to begin?" ”

At present, the Romans gathered in the western part of Assyria had twelve regular legions, a total of 600,000 main forces, and 100,000 local garrisons, for a total strength of 700,000, and four regular legions on the northern front of Assyria, that is, in the direction of the Caucasus, plus the army of the Bosporus, for a total strength of 250,000.

That is to say, there are nearly one million Roman troops currently pressing on the front of Zhao Yun's department, which accounts for about half of the total strength of Rome.

Let us turn our attention to the Jerusalem area. The armies of both sides had temporarily ceased fighting, and the battle lines on both sides had not changed much compared to the beginning of the battle, with the Romans having a slight advantage.

Standing on the ramparts and looking at the distant landscape, Alex couldn't help but think that a Kingdom of Jerusalem was in her mind.

Alex is not an ordinary woman, her ideal is not to find a man of her love to live happily for the rest of her life, but to establish an immortal cause and make her name continue to be recited for generations to come.

General Rett came behind Alex and looked at Alex with admiration in his eyes.

"Master!" Reitt saluted.

Alex retracted her thoughts, glanced at Ret, and asked, "What's the situation?" ”

"The last of the rebellions have been exterminated by us!" Lei Tezhen reported.

The 'rebellion' he calls is actually those forces that demand to be led by the orthodox Jerusalem royal family, and these forces all jumped out when Rome just threw out the plan to rebuild the Kingdom of Jerusalem, and their power spread throughout the military government and the people, but after the successful assassination of the king of Jerusalem by the Jinyi Guards, most of them turned to support Alex, but there are still many people who cooperate with the Romans to establish the so-called Jerusalem state.

Alex nodded, "Hold them up first!" ”

"Yes!"

"Master, the envoy of the Great Wei Empire is here!" An officer came over to report.

Alex nodded, "Invite him to the hall!" I'll be there! ”

"Yes!"

Soon after, Alex signed a formal covenant with an emissary representing the Wei Empire, in which Alex used the title Damascus for the first time, and the Kingdom of Damascus came to the stage of history.

Eyes turn to Rome.

Caracalla had a headache about whether to send troops, he was worried that once he sent troops, it would eventually become a full-scale war between their Roman Empire and the Wei Empire, he didn't want to do this now, but if he waited, he didn't know how long Dongguishan would be able to hold out, if Dongguishan fell, it would definitely not be a good thing for Rome!

Administrator Thomas hurried to the apse of the palace, "Your Majesty, good news! He then presented a letter to Caracalla.

After Caracalla saw it, he nodded with satisfaction, "Queen Silan really didn't disappoint me!" ”

Thomas said: "According to the information obtained not long ago, the Jin army is indeed moving, and the Dawan army is storming the Tianshan fortress of the Wei people!" Your Majesty, we should be able to act now! ”

Caracalla hesitated for a moment, then said categorically: "Tell Seth, attack Assyria immediately!" At the same time, two legions stationed in Pannonia were transferred to reinforce Seth! Tell Seth that this battle is extremely critical, and he must be cautious, not greedy for merit, and take it step by step! Also let Batra be on his guard! ”

"Yes!"

A few days later, Assyria's Wei scouts spotted signs of a massive movement of the Romans on the opposite side, and a steady stream of logistical supplies was being transported forward.

The Great Tent of the Wei Army.

Zhao Yun looked at the map in front of him and said to the generals: "According to the current situation, it is very likely that the Roman army will attack in the near future!" The First Army was immediately transferred to Dura Europos, the Eighth Army was immediately reinforced by Storm Shaliang, and the rest of the armies immediately converged to Qinxifeng! Is there a problem? ”

"Nope!"

"Excellent! Act now! ”

"No!"

After the generals retreated, Zhao Yun wrote a three-letter letter and called the herald, ordering them to be sent to Anxi, the Western Regions Changshi Mansion and the people in the hands of Cao Cao in Guishan.

A day later, the Wei outpost cavalry engaged in a fierce clash with the Roman cavalry, and after a fierce battle for half an hour, each retreated.

At the same time that the situation in the west was becoming more and more urgent, there was also a situation along the Luojia Mountain, and hundreds of thousands of Jin troops also drove to the front line, and the battle clouds were thick.

At the same time, nearly 300,000 Jin troops set up camp outside the Khorezm fortress.

It seems that the Jin people are about to attack in a big way.

The gaze returned to Cao Cao's side.

Cao Cao frowned and looked at the situation in the sand table in front of him.

Xiahou Yuan on the side said: "It seems that the Romans and the people of the Jin Kingdom are determined to take advantage of this opportunity to attack!" We must break the current impasse as soon as possible! (To be continued.) )
