Chapter 1341: Border Conflict

The eldest lady obviously didn't listen to this, and said excitedly: "My wife has lived with her mother for a while, really, really!" ”

Han Ling'er saw that the explanation was not clear, so she simply didn't say anything, and asked Xun Yu: "My lord, I don't know how you arrange the eldest mother?" ”

Xun Yu said: "Da Niu has already joined the army!" According to the laws of the empire, the eldest lady can go to live in the Glory House in Chang'an! I'll let someone arrange it, don't worry about it! ”

Time passed slowly. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info two months have passed unconsciously.

The lobby of the Dura Europos Lodge.

"Hyakno, the target seems to want to enter the Roman Empire!" A man in black reported to a middle-aged man at the head of the head.

This middle-aged man is an important official of Jinyiwei, named Zhang Wende, under the command of Luo Gang, the governor of Liaozhou and Fusangzhou of Jinyiwei, and is currently responsible for monitoring the rebels in Liaozhou.

Zhang Wende frowned, and said suspiciously: "Enter Rome?" What were they going to do in Rome? Could it be that they wanted to convince the Romans to help them restore their country! He smiled self-deprecatingly and shook his head.

"My lord, if the target enters Rome, then we lose control over them! Do you want to make an immediate arrest? The subordinate asked.

Zhang Wende thought for a while, and resolutely ordered: "You go and inform General Yan Yan, and I will personally lead people to arrest him!" ”

Yan Yan is currently in charge of guarding Dura Europos, which is under Zhao Yun's command.

At the same time, more than 100 caravanserai were traveling through the mountainous areas on the border between the Wei Empire and the Roman Empire, all of them looking very nervous.

Half an hour later, they entered a valley that looked like the bottom of a pot.

The leading guide stopped, looked at the moon in the sky, and said uncertainly: "General, we, we seem to have gone the wrong way!" ”

"What? Taken the wrong path? How? "The boss has a strong urge to kill.

"Bring me the map!"

One of his subordinates hurriedly spread the map at the leader's feet, and another brought up a torch.

The leader glanced at the map on the ground, and asked the guide in an annoyed tone, "You tell me, where are we now?" As he spoke, he tapped the map with a wooden stick.

The guide lay on the map and looked at it carefully for a moment, and replied: "General, we have entered the Guogai Valley in the north!" ”

"Is it possible to enter the Roman realm from here?"

The guide nodded, "Yes!" But the road is a little harder! ”

"That's good! Keep moving! If you take the wrong path again this time, I won't spare you! ”

"Yes!"

The group continued to walk northwest. At this time, they didn't know that if they hadn't gone the wrong way, they had been surrounded by the Jinyi Guard's reconnaissance team.

On the other side, the reconnaissance led by Zhang Wende found the trace of the target in an unexpected location, and couldn't help but be slightly surprised, and then ordered his subordinates to send two orange signal rockets into the sky.

Soon after, the spy in charge of tracking the target sent a flying pigeon to report the exact location of the target.

Zhang Wende immediately led the reconnaissance team to chase him down.

The two teams chased and fled in the deep mountains and dense forests until the early morning of the next day.

"Quick! Fast! ”

"General, General! They're catching up! ”

"Leave half of the men to stop! Others keep going! ”

"Yes!"

The search team led by Zhang Wende met the other side of a mountain stream on a narrow road, and a fierce battle broke out between the two sides, these rebels were no match for the search team at all, and the battle lasted less than a quarter of an hour before it ended.

By this time, however, the other rebels had already entered the Roman realm, and it just so happened that a Roman patrol had arrived.

Zhang Wende was anxious to intercept the rebels and led his men to break into the Roman territory, and he did not know that he had crossed the border at this time.

The search party entered the Roman territory and found no trace of the target, but found a Roman army not far ahead.

Zhang Wende couldn't help but be taken aback, and hurriedly asked his subordinates beside him, "Where is this?" ”

The subordinates hurriedly took out the map to check.

At this time, the Roman army came at them.

A battle broke out between the two sides, which no one had anticipated.

The battle lasted two quarters of an hour, and the scouts were outnumbered and retreated to the east, but the Romans pursued them relentlessly.

Seeing that he couldn't get rid of the other party, Zhang Wende simply ordered to turn around and face the battle, and at the same time sent an urgent flying pigeon to Yan Yan.

After some fighting, Zhang Wende and his reconnaissance team were besieged by the Romans on a hill near the border, while a 20,000-strong Roman army was rushing towards the news.

At noon, Roman reinforcements arrived, and the Romans had failed to storm the reconnaissance team's line several times.

The Roman army lined up in battle formations across the field, and the drums of war that were characteristic of Rome rumbled non-stop.

"My lord, it seems that the enemy is about to launch an all-out attack!" The subordinates were a little worried.

They were just the Jinyi Guard's reconnaissance team, and they had never faced such a scene before.

Kill!!

The Romans suddenly shouted loudly and poured in from all directions towards the hill like a rapidly rising flood.

Zhang Wende frowned and shouted, "Prepare to fight!" Who wants to be dealt with by military law! ”

Hertz! The officers and men of the reconnaissance team shouted together.

Looking at the enemy torrent that was getting closer and closer, the soldiers of the reconnaissance team couldn't help but be a little nervous, and the knuckles of the fingers holding the weapons turned white.

Zhang Wende and his reconnaissance team suddenly saw the surging Roman army suddenly turn around and run back at 182 degrees, and they couldn't help but be stunned.

Zhang Wende realized something, and hurriedly turned his head to look behind him, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, it turned out that the Wei cavalry was coming from the sky, there were thousands of horsemen, and the iron horses were surging, and the momentum was like a cloud rushing thunder and a huge wave sweeping, which made people feel chilled.

The Roman army hurriedly organized a defensive front.

Before their defensive front was fully formed, the Wei army's iron cavalry roared and killed.

It crashed into the defensive line of the Roman army, and then like a huge wave rolling on the sand bank, the Wei army's iron cavalry broke the defensive line of the Roman army in one go.

The Romans also tried to turn the tide, but the wild rush of the Wei army soon turned this attempt into an impossible luxury, and the Romans completely collapsed, with the fierce Wei cavalry behind them.

The Wei cavalry pursued until the Roman army's avant-garde fortress did not stop.

At this time, the Roman cavalry galloped out of the fortress.

The cavalry of both sides immediately launched a fierce field battle, and each of them broke away from the battlefield regardless of victory or defeat.

Yan Yan led his subordinates back to the small hill.

Zhang Wende immediately greeted him and thanked him sincerely: "Thank you for the general's help!" ”

Yan Yan waved his hand, "Thank you!" ”

Glancing back, "This place is not suitable for a long time!" Let's go back and talk about it! ”

Zhang Wende nodded.

An hour later, the Wei cavalry and the reconnaissance team retreated to their own territory.

Yan Yan immediately ordered the border to be on full alert, and ordered someone to send an urgent flying pigeon to Zhao Yun in Qinxifeng.

At present, the headquarters of the entire Wei Army's Western Front is in Qinxifeng.

At the same time, the Roman general Seth received an urgent report from the front, and could not help but be shocked, and immediately ordered all the eastern armies to enter a state of full combat readiness, and ordered someone to send a message to the Emperor Caracalla.

Later that day, Zhao Yun, who was the general of the expedition to the west, received an urgent flying pigeon message from the front line, and couldn't help but be surprised, and immediately convened the generals to discuss the matter, and at the same time ordered someone to pass the matter to Chang'an.

Zhao Yun glanced at the generals under the tent, and said in a deep voice: "Not long ago, there was an unexpected incident, the Imperial Jinyi Guard Reconnaissance Team clashed with a patrol of the other side, and General Yan Yan, who arrived later, had a fierce conflict with the other party's reinforcements!" Although the battle is over, the border is still very tense! ”

The generals whispered, and Ma Chao suggested: "It's better to strike first!" Let's concentrate our cavalry and cripple their eastern defenses first! ”

Some of the ministers echoed it one after another, and the crowd was enthusiastic.

Zhao Yun hesitated for a moment, "The current policy of the empire is to avoid a full-scale conflict with the Roman Empire as much as possible, and we should not provoke a full-scale war at this time!" What's more, the Romans have extremely strong forces in the East, and General Seth is also a wise and brave man, although our army is slightly stronger than the other side, but it is difficult to break through their defensive line! ”

"Not bad! We shouldn't act rashly! Otherwise, it is a small matter to provoke a full-scale war, and if it affects His Majesty's overall strategy, then we will not be able to explain it! Zhang Ren frowned.

"You have a point! But have you ever thought that if the enemy moves first, then we will be passive! Ma Chao said with some concern.

Zhao Yun shook his head, "It's okay! It is also very difficult to break through the defense line of our army with their strength! For the sake of today, stand still! Meng Qi, you lead the cavalry into the northern part of Dura Europos, and flank the enemy once it is dispatched! ”

"No!"

"Remember, don't rush into battle!" Zhao Yun admonished.

"Zilong, don't worry! I'm not going to rush it! ”

Zhao Yun nodded, glanced at the other generals, and ordered: "The rest of the armies are fully prepared!" The First Legion immediately marched to Dura Europos to strengthen the defenses! ”

"No!"

In less than two days, Zhao Yun, the general of the Wei Empire, and Seth, the general of the Roman Empire, gathered the most elite troops under their respective commands at the border, and the border battle was cloudy, and the war seemed to be about to break out.

Roman Palace.

Caracalla looked at the emergency flying pigeon in his hand and couldn't help frowning.

Caracalla did not say anything to everyone, but continued with his daily pilgrimage.

After the meeting was dismissed, Caracalla asked the Minister of Intelligence Yushchenko, the Administrator Thomas, and the Chancellor of the Exchequer Wolf to stay.

"Your Majesty, is something big happening?" Thomas, the administrator, asked the question on everyone's minds.

Caracalla did not speak, and handed the handbook to Thomas. (To be continued.) )
