Thanks to the old bird, it is a monthly ticket rewarded by my son-in-law!

Thank you for the tip!

Sima Yi instructed another official: "The grain and grass guarantee must keep up at the same time!" ”

"Yes! Long history although rest assured! ”

Sima Yi nodded, "Besides, how are the various necessary materials prepared?" ”

"It's ready!"

"Excellent! Transfer these things to General Cao along with the migrant workers! In addition, we continue to recruit migrant workers! ”

"Yes!"

At the same time, several iron ore-rich mines are preparing for expansion. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Since the Wei army took control of Anxi two years ago, they began to mine the mines of Anxi, and built smelters and foundries nearby, but due to the successive wars, the construction of mines, smelters, and foundries has stalled, and now due to the needs of the imperial strategy, all aspects of construction have been resumed, and the scale is several times larger than at the beginning.

At the same time as the construction of the factory was being stepped up, the construction of the shipyard in the Persian Gulf was also in full swing.

Rome on the other side.

After the recent defeat of the Roman navy, the outpost was completely destroyed, and it had to retreat to the northern straits.

Although the Roman navy suffered considerable losses in the previous battles, the main force was still there.

Roman Palace.

"Administrator, I intend to build five new shipyards in Sardinia, Greece, Cyprus, Crete, Achaia!" Caracalla is unequivocal.

At this time, Caracalla was strolling along the small lake in the back garden of the palace, followed by the administrator Thomas and the intelligence minister Yushchenko.

The two were not surprised by Caracalla's decision.

Thomas nodded, "It's inevitable!" If we can't achieve absolute superiority at sea, almost all parts of the empire will be threatened by the Wei army! ”

Caracalla nodded, "That's exactly what I'm worried about!" ”

Stopped, stood on the shore of the lake, sighed, and muttered: "Wei Empire, he is like a behemoth that overwhelms me!" ”

Thomas said, "Your Majesty don't worry too much! In fact, the overall strength of the empire is no worse than that of the Wei people! For the Wei people, our Roman Empire is not a behemoth! ”

Caracalla smiled and nodded, "Not bad! ”

Frowning, "I'm worried about our internal problems right now!" Alas, Jerusalem, Egypt, the remnants of the Senate, England, all annoying! By the way, how is the battle going in Jerusalem? ”

Yushchenko replied: "General Batra successfully ambushed the rebels who tried to raid the grain convoy three days ago, annihilating more than 3,000 people! Then break through the defenses of the supporting fortress in the east of Jerusalem and capture the fortress! The situation has turned in our favor! ”

Caracalla smiled, "Batra has finally lived up to my expectations of him!" ”

"Your Majesty, now that the war has improved, do you want to transfer back the First Spartan Legion halfway through?" Yushchenko asked.

"Nope! We must not leave anything to chance, we must wipe out the rebels in one fell swoop! Order the 1st Spartan Regiment to speed up the march towards Jerusalem! ”

"Yes!"

At the same time, Batra's main forces captured the supporting fortress on the south side of Jerusalem, and the rebels in Jerusalem were in danger of being isolated.

Zhao Yun frowned slightly and looked at the information in his hand that had just come from Jerusalem.

Stand up and walk to the sand table, which reflects the specific topography of Jerusalem, on the sand table the earth-colored flag representing the rebels and the eagle flag representing the Roman Empire, the two sides are in a state of confrontation, but this is the previous situation. Zhao Yun replaced the rebel flags supporting the fortress on the south and east sides of Jerusalem with the Roman eagle flags, and the situation on the entire sand table suddenly became extremely unfavorable for the rebels, and the most important city of Jerusalem was in danger of being completely surrounded, and the rebels did not have an army that could relieve the danger.

Zhao Yun thought for a moment, and pointed his finger on the sand table, and the city of Susa, where he was located, moved east along the coastline until Jerusalem stopped. Zhao Yun frowned slightly and shook his head slowly.

At this moment, the ministry general Zhao Tuo entered the big tent.

"General, the urgent flying pigeon from Jerusalem has a message!" and then presented a letter.

Zhao Yun took the book and read it quickly, his brows tightened.

"General, is there something happening on the Jerusalem side?" Zhao Tuo couldn't help asking.

Zhao Yun nodded, "Alex's army is almost unstoppable!" She said she was going to abandon Jerusalem and retreat into the mountains of the southeast! ”

"General, should we support them directly?" Zhao Tuo said anxiously.

Zhao Yun thought for a moment, shook his head slowly, and pointed to the Assyrian eastern front controlled by the Romans on the sand table, "The Roman army has stationed hundreds of thousands of main troops on the front line of Qinxifeng, and it is almost impossible to break through this line of defense with the current strength of our army!" What's more, once our army's land forces are put into battle, it means a full-scale war, and the Empire is trying its best to avoid such a situation! ”

"What then? Do you just watch Alex's army be wiped out? Zhao Tuo was a little unwilling.

Zhao Yun pondered: "We can't help them now, I just hope that this rebel leader can create a miracle again!" ”

My heart suddenly moved, "Maybe we can do this!" Zhao Tuo, you immediately go and gather the five thousand light cavalry of the Seventh Legion! We do! ”

On the other side, Alex stood on the majestic city gate, looking at the Roman military camp that stretched for more than ten miles outside the city, and sighed. There were more than a dozen generals standing beside her, all of whom were unwilling.

"My lord, are you really going to give up like that?" General Reiter asked very unwillingly.

Alex sighed and nodded slightly, "There's no way around it!" We have lost the eastern and southern supporting fortresses! Dute can't hold it anymore! ”

Alex's Duth is located more than ten miles southeast of Jerusalem, it is the closest city to Jerusalem, and it is also the barrier to the northeast of Jerusalem.

There are currently 50,000 men defending this important city, and the leading general is one of Alex's capable generals.

Alex returned to the place surrounded by the generals.

"My lord, we should ask the Great Wei Empire to send troops to help!" A ministry general suggested.

The generals' eyes lit up and they looked at Alex with a look of hope.

Alex said, "No! The Wei Empire has given us everything they can offer at the moment! We can't ask for anything more from them! We are on our own! ”

"But my lord, where we are now," one of the generals said worriedly.

Alex interrupted him, "I know what you're trying to say!" But we're not completely out of the woods! We can retreat into the mountains to the southeast and rely on the support of the Wei Empire to fight the Romans to wait for the right moment! ”

"Timing? Will there be a time? General Mohammed said with some frustration.

Alex said categorically: "Yes! There will definitely be! The Wei Empire and the Roman Empire will inevitably have a great war that will determine the fate of both sides! That's our chance! Alex's eyes twinkled.

The generals glanced at each other, and their hearts couldn't help but ignite hope, but they were still worried.

Later that evening, Alex received an urgent message from Duth, and a Roman army of 70,000 men and a half began to attack violently.

Alex knew that she could not hesitate any longer, and immediately gathered her generals and gave the order to abandon Jerusalem.

Alex did not leave secretly, but told all the people of Jerusalem in the large square outside the place of governance that she, Alex and her army would return to Jerusalem one day, she asked the people of Jerusalem not to resist the occupation of the Roman army to avoid unnecessary casualties, and then she ordered the army to distribute all the baggage that could not be taken away to the people of the city.

That night, Alex led an army of 150,000 out of the city through the east gate. In one fell swoop, they broke through the unprepared Roman line near the mulberry grove and headed straight in the direction of Dut.

Batra received an urgent report from his subordinates and was immediately alerted to scouts to reconnoiter Alex's army and the situation in Jerusalem.

Soon after, the scout brought him the pleasantly news that Jerusalem was already an unguarded city.

However, Batra was immediately suspicious, and he could not believe that Alex would abandon the city of Jerusalem.

It was not until an hour later, when another group of scouts reported to Batra that the rebels had broken through to 150,000 men, that Batra ordered one of his legions to enter Jerusalem and ordered the main forces of each army to pursue Alex's army.

By this time, however, Alex's army had joined up with the defenders of Duth, and had repelled the Roman army besieging Duth.

After repelling the Romans, Alex immediately ordered the burning of Duth's grain and grass.

Nearly 200,000 rebels quickly advanced towards the mountains to the southeast in the monstrous flames.

Before the early hours of the morning, Alex arrived at the foot of the mountain with 200,000 rebels, but tens of thousands of Roman horsemen were already within reach.

Alex had no choice but to order 50,000 soldiers to break off, and the rest of the army retreated into the mountains.

The 50,000 terrified rebels and tens of thousands of Roman cavalry fought in a melee that began with a one-sided scene, and although the rebels had a slight advantage in numbers, none of them could compare with the Romans in terms of morale, fighting spirit, equipment, and tactics.

The battle lasted less than half an hour before it ended, with 50,000 rebels almost wiped out, while Roman cavalry losses were minimal.

However, the main rebel force managed to retreat into the dense forests of the mountains, which were easy to defend and difficult to attack.

The Roman generals were unwilling to give up and sent 10,000 cavalry into the mountains.

In the early hours of the morning, the 10,000 cavalry advanced to a valley deep in the mountains, a funnel-shaped terrain surrounded by dangerous terrain, and the rocky terrain was very unfavorable for cavalry combat, and if the rebels set up an ambush here, the 10,000 Roman cavalry might be wiped out.

Suddenly, there was a loud rumbling sound from the surrounding cliffs. (To be continued.) )
