"Zilong, if you continue like this, Dura Europos will not be able to save it!" Ma Chao said urgently. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Zhao Yun frowned, his eyes staring at the sand table in front of him. muttered: "It's better to give up and take a step back and open the sky!" ”

The generals present were all stunned, and Ma Chao said urgently: "Zilong, what do you mean?" ”

Zhao Yun was silent for a moment, and said resolutely: "Give up Dura Europos and Altashat!" ”

"What? No way! ”

Zhao Yun Zhengse said: "With the current situation, it can only be like this!" ”

"What about the Sixth and Eighth Legions? Don't want it? Ma Chaotie asked with a blushing face.

Zhao Yun clenched his fists and said in a deep voice: "The main task at present is to ensure the victory of His Majesty's northern front, and the sacrifice is inevitable and worthwhile!" Their blood will not be shed in vain! ”

The generals fell silent, and the atmosphere was a little heavy.

Zhao Yundao: "The Roman army has mobilized almost all its forces, if we can't give up decisively, then the result is very likely to be a complete collapse of the entire Western Front!" At that time, not only us, but also Your Majesty, they will be in danger! ”

Seeing that the generals nodded silently, he continued: "The Eighth Legion can still be withdrawn, but the Sixth Legion!" ”

There was silence in the big tent for a moment, and a general clenched his fists and asked, "General, how should we tell General Zhang Ren?" ”

Zhao Yun said categorically: "Tell the truth! I believe that General Zhang Ren and the officers and men of the Sixth Army will never disappoint us! ”

Later that day, Zhao Yun's order was passed to Zhang Ren's hands, and Zhang Ren's face was calm as usual after reading it, and there was a trace of inexplicable happiness in his eyes. muttered: "When the year of life is over, heroes don't die on the bed!" "Haha, it's free and easy, it's generous.

"Someone!"

A personal soldier immediately entered.

"Gather the generals at once!"

That night, the Roman army continued to attack, but the Roman army was surprised to find that the Wei army, which had been tired, actually fought back like a stimulant, and the counterattack with no regard for life and death made people shudder, giving people the feeling that they were not seeking survival but death.

Seth frowned and muttered in confusion, "How can this be?" ”

His gaze turned back to Cao Cao's side.

After annihilating the more than 600,000 main forces of the Jin State, the Wei army marched northward and conquered several important cities one after another, after all, the Durant fortress, at the same time, Cao Ren led the Fourth Army, the Seventh Army Corps, the Xiongnu Legion, and 200,000 garrisons from all over the country out of the Khorezm fortress, and the other 100,000 garrisons and resting servant troops stayed in the fortress to deal with all sides.

Because the Wei army had been hiding the strength of Cao Ren before, the Jin army outside the mountain pass was defenseless against the powerful power of the Wei army, and in just a few days, several important fortresses and cities outside the mountain pass were lost one after another.

Roman Palace.

"Your Majesty, this is an urgent summons I just received!" Thomas rushed into the main hall to report, while the Roman Emperor Caracalla was thinking in front of the sandbox.

Caracalla took the book and read it, was startled, turned his head and asked, "When did this happen?" ”

"Two days ago! The Wei army annihilated the main force of more than 600,000 troops of the Jin State Army more than 20 miles south of the Durant Fortress! Its commander-in-chief, Joseph, was captured! At present, the situation in the Jin Kingdom is extremely critical, if Empress Silan makes a mistake, I am afraid that we will not be able to resist and break through the western defense line of the Wei army! Thomas said worriedly.

Caracalla thought for a moment and said categorically: "Order General Seth and Yusuf to attack with all their might!" "Yes!"

"Your Majesty, there is another circumstance, the Senate rebels and the Moorish rebels are making a lot of trouble in the Iberian Peninsula, the English are also making some moves, and the Jerusalem rebels are openly provoking us!"

Caracalla interrupted Thomas, "I know all of this, let the local garrison resist it!" Hmph, the most important thing now is the Wei people, as long as they are defeated, these rebels will not be a problem at all! ”

The gaze turned to the side of the Jin Guoren.

Just as Cao Ren led the army out of the mountains of Khorezm, the Empress Silan, who was far away in the Durant fortress, had an ominous premonition, which became stronger and stronger in the following day.

That night, Empress Silan received the news that the main army led by the Wei Emperor Cao Cao was approaching, and after some ideological struggle, she decisively decided to abandon the Durrant fortress, and the army retreated, and at the same time ordered the entire Durrant fortress to be burned.

This decision was not resisted by the generals as expected, and perhaps after the previous fiasco, everyone was already a little discouraged.

Empress Silan led the army to retreat westward, while Cao Cao led the main force of the Wei army to quickly approach the fortress of Durrant.

When the army reached the river, they saw from a distance that the Durent Fortress on the opposite bank was surrounded by raging fires, and the sky was reflected red all day, and the entire Durent Fortress was like a huge fire.

Cao Cao frowned, "This Queen Silan is still a little decisive!" Yuan Rang, you lead all the cavalry to cross the river to pursue the enemy first! ”

"No!"

"Remember, don't be careless! This woman is most likely setting up an ambush on the road! Your task is to harass and retard them! ”

"Got it! Your Majesty, I'm going! Cao Cao nodded.

Xiahoudun led the reins of the horse, led more than 100,000 cavalry to gallop away, the horse's hooves rumbled, the smoke and dust filled the sky, the scene was very spectacular.

Two days later, Queen Silan led a tired army to retreat to the city of Dekanur, which is more than 300 miles away from the fortress of Durrant, and is the largest city in the entire southeast, but the city wall is only equivalent to the county seat of the Central Plains, mainly because the city is located in the hinterland of the Jin Kingdom, and the Jin government and the opposition do not think that it will encounter a threat here.

The arrival of Queen Silan and her army made the hundreds of thousands of people in Dekarul extremely uneasy.

They understood what this meant, and they feared that the Wei army would attack the city, and they did not think that their own army would be able to withstand the onslaught of the Wei people.

Before Empress Silan could catch her breath, a very bad news came, several fortresses and cities in the Khorezm Pass had been lost a few days earlier, and hundreds of thousands of Wei cavalry were not far from here.

"Queen, it's not a way for us to run like this! A part of the forces must be left behind to defend the Dkanur along with the garrison! General Croce suggested.

This Croce was originally the commander of the Guards Legion, but was later promoted to the rank of general, and is now one of the few generals around Queen Slan who can come up with ideas.

Queen Silan nodded thoughtfully, "You're right! The Dkanur is the only way to the West, and if they want to continue their pursuit, they must first capture the Dkanrul! But who will defend it? ”

Glancing at the generals, they all avoided her gaze.

Queen Silan couldn't help but feel annoyed in her heart.

"Queen, I'll defend!"

Everyone followed the prestige, and the person who spoke was Nuo Kun, that is, the commander of the War Bear Legion, and also the number one warrior of the Jin Empire.

Empress Silan couldn't help but feel a little relieved, and then became embarrassed, she was very relieved that Nuokun took on this arduous task, but this task was almost certain to die, and she really didn't want such a general as Nuokun to die here.

After hesitating for a while, Queen Silan nodded helplessly.

She simply doesn't have much of a choice right now.

On the same day, Queen Silan led the army to continue to retreat to the west, while Nuo Kun led the War Bear Legion and another main army to stay, in addition to these two legions, there are 60,000 local garrisons and reserves, with a total strength of nearly 150,000, in fact, this force is not weak, but at this time, everyone has no bottom in their hearts.

Xiahoudun led more than 100,000 cavalry to arrive outside the city of Dekanrur in the early morning of the next day, received the relevant report of the scouts, and decided to bypass the city of Decanur in front of him, but soon Xiahoudun found that he could not do it at all.

The terrain around the city is flat, but it is very special, a large river flows through the city of Dkanur, and here it forms a U-shaped pocket terrain, Dkanrur is at the top of this pocket, the most interesting thing is that this large river only has a section directly opposite Dkanrur that can be waded through, and other places want to cross the river by building pontoon bridges or ferrying across the river.

Xiahoudun had no choice but to order the army to set up camp in front of the army in Dekanur, and at the same time order a part of the cavalry to search the river for boats and rafts.

After half a day, they only found a few dozen small fishing boats, which could not cross the river at all, and it was not possible to build a pontoon bridge without boats in a short time.

Five days later, Xiahoudun finally built several pontoon bridges on the river on both sides, and Cao Cao also led the main army to arrive.

"Your Majesty, shall we storm here first, or will we go around and pursue it?" Xiahoudun asked.

At this time, Cao Cao and a group of generals immediately stood on a high post by the river, and around the high post was a mighty army that seemed to have no end.

Cao Cao carefully observed the terrain around Dekanruer, frowned, and said: "According to the previous information, and then look at the terrain here, this city is the throat to the west, we must first capture it, order all the armies, camp on the spot for a short rest, and send scouts to guard on all sides, and at the same time detect the movements of the main force of the Jin State!" ”

"No!" The herald answered and quickly left.

Cao Cao patted Xiahoudun on the shoulder and asked with a smile, "Yuan Rang, why do you seem to be very depressed?" ”

Xiahoudun said with some annoyance: "After working for more than ten days, I haven't even caught a single scum!" ”

Cao Cao laughed and said meaningfully: "If you have a fight, I'm afraid you won't want to fight when the time comes!" ”

Xiahoudun said proudly: "How could it be? ”

At this time, a herald rushed to Cao Cao.

"Your Majesty, General Zhao Yun's flying pigeon biography!"

Cao Cao took the book and read it, frowning.

The generals looked at Cao Cao, all looking a little nervous. (To be continued.) )
