"Yes!"

Caracalla said: "At the same time, the main army corps in the country and the Dili Zhan Reserve Army are preparing for war with great fanfare!" ”

Thomas was not a fool either, and immediately understood Caracalla's plan and said yes. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

On the same day, Thomas sent his most capable men to the Senate and the Moorish region.

At the same time, urgent orders were issued to various parts of the Roman country.

For a time, there was a lot of noise in Rome, and there was a strong atmosphere before the war.

Eyes turned back to Chang'an.

Cao Cao looked at the fold in his hand and asked the ministers, "What do you think of Zhongda's suggestion?" ”

The cabinet ministers exchanged glances, and Jia Xu clenched his fists and said: "Although it is a bit risky, it is worth it!" If the Red Sea can be opened, then the entire Western Front will become extremely advantageous to our army, and it will also be possible to get direct contact with England, the Senate, the Moorish side! ”

Xun Yu said: "What needs to be considered is, will this battle trigger a full-scale war between the two countries? And are we ready for all-out war at the moment? ”

Cao Cao thought for a moment and asked, "What do you think?" ”

Xun Yu pondered: "Once we succeed in this battle, the hearts of the Romans will also be under the threat of our army, and the Romans are likely to be desperate!" As for our side, I think we're ready! ”

Cao Cao nodded, hesitated, and said categorically: "Let Zhongda tell Gan Ning and Zhou Tai to act according to their wishes!" In addition, he ordered the army of the Green Ridge and the Western Regions Alliance to move to the Western Front, and ordered Zilong to be the commander of the Western Front! Tell Wen Yuan, be vigilant, at this time, the people of Jin Guo will definitely not be lonely! ”

"Yes!"

Cao Cao said: "Transfer the Fifth Army to the west to reinforce Zilong!" ”

"Yes!"

A few days later, Gan Ning and Zhou Tai received Cao Cao's order forwarded by Sima Yi.

Gan Ning slapped his thigh excitedly, "Great! Your Majesty agreed to our suggestion! ”

Zhou Taihu's eyes lit up, "Since that's the case, let's act immediately!" ”

Gan Ning nodded.

Immediately, the entire Wei outpost naval base was running at full speed.

Although this is only the outpost naval base of the Wei army, the warships gathered here account for about seventy percent of the number of warships of the entire Wei army, and the Roman side in order to deal with the English rebel sailors and senators and Moorish navy who entered the Mediterranean, the naval warships originally stationed in the Red Sea Strait were transferred to the west of the Mediterranean, but even so, the strength of the Roman navy in the Red Sea is still slightly stronger than the Wei army, and there are tens of thousands of Egyptian garrisons on both sides of the Red Sea to cooperate with the battle, although the Kingdom of Jerusalem is an ally of the Wei Empire, However, they were now pressed by the 200,000 troops led by the Roman general Batra, and it was impossible for them to go south to support the Wei army in the war.

Early the next morning, the Wei navy poured out its nest, and the warship formation covered the sky and the sun and chopped the waves, and the scene was spectacular.

A day later, the Roman navy received a report from an agent. The commander of the navy, Relund, was so shocked that he hurriedly ordered his officers and men to prepare for the battle, and at the same time sent a flying pigeon to the Romans.

A few days later, the Roman outpost fleet and the Wei advance fleet encountered each other, and a small but fierce naval battle broke out, in which the soldiers of both sides fought to the death, and finally separated from the battlefield in the afterglow of the setting sun, leaving behind only the burning wreckage and the remains of the soldiers on both sides.

A day later, the main forces of the Wei fleet and the main force of the Roman fleet set up a battle formation more than 50 miles south of the strait.

The two sides broke out in one of the largest naval battles in history.

The warships of both sides roared angrily, and the rain of arrows roared towards each other, and the water column on the sea rose to the sky, like boiling water, and from time to time the ships were beaten to the ground and sinked into the sea with a mournful roar.

The sailors jumped into the sea one after another, struggling. The Romans' fireships rushed towards the Wei fleet like mad bulls, shattering under the heavy bombardment of the Wei army, or rushing to the front to spew out a terrible fire dragon.

The Wei assault boat slammed into the hull of the opponent's ship, and then the warriors climbed onto the opponent's ship through the lock hook with their swords, and engaged in bloody hand-to-hand combat with the opponent.

The battle was extremely fierce.

The Wei army was determined to win, and the Romans fought desperately for dignity and their own life protection.

When the sun set, the fleets of both sides separated from the battlefield, and the entire sea seemed to burn, billowing black smoke filled the sky, and the setting sun stained this battlefield with a shocking blood.

That night, the main ship of the Wei army.

"! I can't imagine that the Roman Navy still has such a strong will to fight! Gan Ning scolded and said angrily, although he scolded like this, but there was clearly admiration in his eyes. As the saying goes, heroes cherish heroes.

Zhou Tai frowned and said: "If we continue to fight like this, we are afraid that we will not be able to knock down the gorge!" If we can't beat it, we won't be able to give it to Your Majesty! We're boasting about Haikou! ”

Gan Ning rubbed his head with some annoyance, "Damn! We're underestimating them! What do you say now? ”

Zhou Tai smiled bitterly: "Xingba, how did I come up with this kind of thing if you made me think about it?" You might as well let me lead the charge!" ”

Gan Ning rubbed his cheeks and thought hard: "What should I do?" I wonder what Your Majesty will do when they encounter such a situation? ”

"What would they do if Your Majesty were here?" Gan Ning pondered.

Zhou Tai said jokingly: "Let's fly the pigeon and ask Your Majesty!" ”

"Fart! If you really do this, I'm afraid you and I will be laughed to death by others! Gan Ning blew his beard and glared.

After thinking for a while, his eyes suddenly lit up, "Let's do this!" ”

Immediately said his plan, Zhou Tai was stunned, gave a thumbs up and said, "High!" It's really high! Gan Ning smirked.

The sight turned to the Roman water village.

"What about our casualties?" Lielund asked, frowning.

The subordinate general Teregh replied: "Seven large and small warships, thirty-nine crossbow ships, and eleven fireships have been lost!" The losses of the Wei people are only slightly less than ours! Your Excellency, although we did not win this battle today, we have played the majesty of our Roman Empire! ”

Lielund nodded with a relieved face, "Pass the order, all armies should be vigilant and not slack off!" All patrol clippers are out! ”

"Yes!"

Roman Palace.

Caracalla stood by the window of the main hall, looking out of the window at the bright moon that appeared and disappeared in the dark clouds, and his face was gloomy.

Prime Minister Thomas came to the palace, glanced at Caracalla, and called, "Your Majesty! ”

Caracalla came back to his senses and glanced at Thomas, "It's you!" Nothing will happen, right? ”

Thomas presented a letter to Caracalla, "This is the Pigeon Flyer that I just received!" ”

Caracalla took it, looked at it, and nodded with satisfaction, "This battle is very good!" ”

Thomas nodded; "Yes! If this development continues, the Wei people should not succeed! ”

Caracalla sat down at the top, glanced at the handbook in his hand, and asked hesitantly, "Since the situation is still optimistic, is it necessary for us to launch a counterattack against the Wei people on land?" ”

It's no wonder he hesitated, because once a full-scale war begins, the development of events will be difficult to control, and what will happen in the end is unpredictable! And even if they win, the Roman side will have to pay a very heavy price.

Thomas pondered, "I think it's necessary to prepare, but whether or not to do it depends on the situation!" ”

"Hmm!" Caracalla nodded.

"Did the Jin people reply?"

Thomas took out a letter and presented it to Caracalla, "This is the reply I just received from the people of the Golden Kingdom!" ”

Caracalla hurriedly took it and looked at it, nodded with satisfaction, and said in appreciation: "This Queen of Silan is really not a person with a small eye!" ”

After a moment's thought, he ordered: "Tell General Seth, be ready to attack at any time!" ”

"Yes!"

Look back at the mouth of the Red Strait.

The main force of the Wei fleet launched a fierce attack on the Roman army's water village in the night, and the warships of both sides desperately spat out tongues of fire, and the assault boats and crossbow warships rushed back and forth, and the sound of killing shook the sky.

Roman Admiral Lielund frowned, and there were many models of ships on the large sand table in front of him, representing the posture of the two navies, according to the situation on the sand table, the two sides were in a stalemate on an arc in front of the water wall.

A scout officer hurried into the tent and reported: "Your Excellency, the left flank of our army has been broken by the enemy!" ”

Everyone couldn't help but be shocked, and the subordinate general Tereger hurriedly said: "Your Excellency, you must transfer troops and reinforcements, otherwise the entire front may collapse!" ”

Lielund hesitated, a faint worry in his heart.

At this time, another scout rushed into the big tent, "Your Excellency, the right wing is almost unstoppable!" ”

Lielund's heart couldn't help but skip a beat, hesitated for a moment, and ordered: "Order the reserves to go up immediately to block the enemy's attack!" ”

"Yes!"

The gate of the water village was wide open, and the two teams of warships that had been placed in the direction of the side and back rushed towards the battlefield.

"Xingba, your plan has succeeded!" Zhou Tai was pleasantly surprised.

Gan Ning laughed, waved his hand violently, and then several signal rockets flew into the air from the flagship.

This did not attract anyone's attention at all on the fierce and unusual battlefield.

Under the cover of night, the two fleets quietly sailed towards the shore, while the batteries on the cliffs on the shore were supporting the ships ahead.

"Captain, what do you think it is?" A soldier on the turret shouted as he pointed to the sea below.

The captain, who was directing the catapult to shoot, asked impatiently: "What do you see?" He walked over and looked down, and it was pitch black.

Just as he was about to curse the soldiers, several bright flashes of fire came from the catapult on the battery, and the scene below the battery was fleeting. The captain was stunned for a moment, and then shouted with a frightened face: "There is an enemy, prepare to fight!" (To be continued.) )
