A day later, hundreds of thousands of the main army of the Jin State and a huge number of Jin National Army, garrison army, and servant army drove south. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

A herald rushed into the Qianqing Palace. At this time, Cao Cao was reviewing the chapters, and several cabinet ministers were standing on the side.

"Your Majesty, Lord Sima's urgent flying pigeon biography!" The herald reported. Present a handbook in both hands.

Cui Yingying immediately took it and forwarded it to Cao Cao.

Cao Cao took the book and read it carefully, frowned, and sighed: "The worst has happened!" ”

"Your Majesty is talking about the Kingdom of Jin?" Xun Yu asked with his fists clenched.

Cao Cao nodded, "Sima Yi's biography says that the people of the Jin Kingdom have decided to cooperate with the Romans to launch an attack on our Kangju and the northern line of rest!" The people of the Jin Kingdom were by no means pretentious this time, they transferred more than half of the regular army and a large number of servant troops and civilian troops to the southern front! ”

"Your Majesty, in this way, the pressure on our army in the north will be too great! If we take into account the Western front at the same time, the situation of our army is worrying! Xi Zhicai said worriedly.

Xun You also said: "What Zhicai said is extremely true! We might as well abandon Assyria for the time being and concentrate on defeating the kingdom of Jin! ”

Cao Cao hesitated and asked Xun Yu, "What do you think of Gongda?" ”

Xun Yu pondered: "It's not easy to defeat the Jin Kingdom!" It is impossible for our army to defeat the Jin State in a few months, and after a few months, the north has become a very cold weather that is extremely unfavorable to our army! Our army will not be able to achieve the desired results when attacking the Kingdom of Jin in the north, but it will lose the Assyrian region that is very important to us in the west! The gains outweigh the losses! ”

Cao Cao frowned and said, "What does Gongda mean that the original plan remains unchanged?" ”

"Nope! To change! The Western Front was changed to defense, and the Northern Front was changed to attack! Push back the momentum of the Jin people as soon as possible, and then go all out to deal with Rome in the west! ”

Cao Cao was silent for a moment, then frowned: "This plan is not easy to complete!" Gongda thinks that who can be the commander of the north, and who can be the commander of the west! ”

Xun Yu said: "The commander of the West should be stable, and Weichen thinks that Zilong is suitable!" It is better for His Majesty to be the commander of the north! ”

Cao Cao thought for a moment and asked Xi Zhicai and Xun Youdao, "What do you think?" ”

Xi Zhicai and Xun You glanced at each other, hugged their fists together, and said, "We agree with Gongda's decision!" ”

Cao Cao pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "Okay!" That's it! Go down and make preparations. Zhicai, the logistics are left to you! ”

"Yes!" Everyone agreed and withdrew from the Qianqing Palace.

Cao Cao muttered: "I didn't expect to be going to conquer again!" ”

On the second day, Cao Cao came to the Fengtian Temple.

At this time, the 5,000 Imperial Forest Army was ready to go, standing quietly on the square like a mountain, the generals Dian Wei, Xu Chu, Ma Chao, Zhang Liao and others stood proudly under the steps, and the cabinet ministers stood behind Cao Cao.

A red sun rises from the east, and the glow of the rising sun makes the scene particularly solemn.

Cao Cao swore an oath as usual, and then set out with a large army.

Before leaving, Cao Cao told Zhang Liao and Xun Yu.

Cao Cao's personal commander of the 5,000 Imperial Forest Army left Chang'an, joined up with the waiting Fifth Army, and the army went west, while the Seventh Army was also moving to the Western Regions.

Green Ridge Fortress in the Western Regions.

Just as Zhao Yun and the generals were discussing in front of the sand table, a herald rushed into the conference hall.

"General, Your Majesty's Flying Pigeon Biography!" The herald reported and presented a herald.

Zhao Yun took the summons, read it, and said to the generals: "Your Majesty has decided to change your strategy!" ”

Turning around and pointing to the northern line of rest and the northern line of Kangju on the sand table, he said: "Your Majesty has decided to break the determination of the Jin people to go south with the main force first!" At the same time, fend off the Romans on the western flank! Your Majesty wants us to create a momentum, a momentum of the main force of the Great Wei advancing westward! His Majesty has personally led the Fifth Army out of Chang'an! ”

The generals whispered.

Zhao Yun returned to the top and sat down, and said, "Your Majesty will personally lead the main force to attack the Jin Guoren!" And command me to resist the Romans in Assyria! ”

"This is not an easy task! What is the general going to do? Yan Yan asked.

Zhao Yun asked, "Have the Western Regions Coalition forces gathered?" ”

A general replied: "The 150,000 coalition troops have been assembled, just waiting for the general's order!" ”

"Excellent! Order the Western Regions Alliance and the Xiongnu Legion to march west into Assyria! ”

"Yes!" The herald clenched his fists in agreement.

"Miaocai sits in the Green Ridge Fortress on my behalf!" Xiahou Yuan reluctantly agreed.

"Order General Cao Ren and General Cao Hong to be on strict alert!"

The next day, Zhao Yun led Yan Yan and hundreds of his own soldiers towards Assyria.

Later that day, the Xiongnu Army and the 250,000-strong army of the Western Regions Coalition Army, which had received the order, marched westward.

At the same time, the Roman general Schneider received an order from Emperor Caracalla to attack the rebels, and Schneider summoned the generals to discuss the matter.

Early the next morning, Schneider's army launched a fierce attack on the Karen Sa Front, and the rebels fought for three days before finally being defeated, and the whole army retreated until it reached Dura Europos.

The Roman army then surrounded the entire city. What is strange is that in these three days of fighting, Xu Huang and his Great Wei Iron Cavalry never appeared.

Schneider led a regular Roman army of more than 100,000 to battle below the city of Dura Europos.

Immediately, a fierce general rode out of the military formation and challenged loudly. This Roman general was a deputy commander of the Spartan legion, named Crozet, one of the most courageous generals in the Roman army, in the war with the Jin people, once killed the ninth of the ten warriors of the Jin country, extremely brave and good at fighting.

"My lord, I'm going to fight!" A subordinate general asked for war.

Kelensa shook his head and said indifferently: "This person is a famous general in the Roman army, you are not his opponent!" Besides, we just need to defend the city! There's no need to be stupid one-on-one with them! ”

"Yes!"

Seeing that the other party did not pay attention to his own call, Schneider ordered the army to attack. Hundreds of artillery pieces bombarded the city, fireballs and pillars of smoke rose into the sky, and some rebel soldiers were thrown off the city walls by the shock wave.

"My lord, let's fight back with a catapult!" General Barak couldn't help but ask.

At this moment, a stone bullet smashed into the ground nearby, and a puff of smoke and dust whistled, and there was a crackling sound overhead.

Everyone couldn't help but shrink their necks.

Karen Sa calmly asked, "Has the enemy infantry attacked?" ”

Barak replied, "Not yet!" ”

Karen said categorically: "No hurry! When their infantry is on the charge, the catapult will be launched! ”

"Yes!"

The Roman artillery fire continued for two quarters of an hour, and the shelling stopped.

Immediately afterwards, 30,000 soldiers of the 11th Roman Army rushed towards the city wall, the formation and pace were very neat, the Roman army was shouting while marching, and it looked very imposing, and the unique sound of leather drums of the Roman army swirled in the air.

Thirty thousand Roman assault troops advanced to a distance of only one hundred and fifty paces from the city walls.

At this moment, a roar suddenly sounded in the city. (To be continued.) )
