Chapter 1253: Unanimous Decision-Making
Emperor Qin Feng of Hongwu eliminated the Roman expeditionary force, and the people of Jiangnan returned to their hometown.
Zhuge Kongming's death was a great blow to Qin Feng. But Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhou Yu, and Lu Xun's unity for the country and the people made him very pleased.
He can't dwell on the past, because the Great Qin Empire, the people of Great Qin, need their leader to continue to lead them forward.
At the end of May 221 AD, Emperor Qin Feng of Hongwu came to the front line of the Resting Plateau.
The Roman Emperor Severus instigated tens of millions of mobs, creating an unprecedented onslaught. After destroying nearly seven million enemies, the Qin army temporarily withdrew from the Anxiu Plateau and re-established its defensive line after the buffer zone between the plateau and the plain.
Daqin has 1.5 million troops, 1.5 million militiamen, and countless logistics people here.
Rome had an army of 2 million here, a "smashing and looting army" of 1 million domestic robbers and bandits, and almost no logistical force.
Rome's military strength surpassed that of Great Qin because the Roman Emperor Severus sacrificed seven million cannon fodder.
Both sides have lost more than 8 million troops, but the combined strength of both sides still reaches 6 million. The total war of the two empires, the war between East and West, the real world war, the Second World War. It is believed that after this war, there will only be one empire left in the world, either Rome in the West or Great Qin in the East.
The eyes of the world are focused on the resting area, and even distant tribes are talking about this war. Mankind all over the world is waiting, waiting for the birth of the real hegemon of the world.
Central Asia.
On this day, Emperor Hongwu Qin Feng entered the military base fifty kilometers west of Fulousha. It is a military base in the desert with a wide bluestone official road in Guò. A steady stream of supplies was brought up from the rear to supply the army.
Emperor Hongwu completely annihilated the Roman expeditionary force. The news came, which greatly boosted the morale of the forward soldiers. At the same time, it also calmed the morale of the army. Hearing that Qin Feng personally came to the front line, the entire military base was boiling, and the army and civilians were united in their hearts, gearing up to fight a decisive battle with the enemy.
In the main hall of the temporary palace, Qin Feng sits high, and in the curtain behind him, is Xin Xianying, a historian who writes history.
His Royal Highness, Wenchen includes Jia Xu, Guo Jia, Pang Tong, Tian Feng, Fu Zhu and others. Fierce generals gathered together, Zhao Yun, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Dian Wei, Xu Chu, Xiahou brothers, etc. 1,800 years ago, there was no satellite communication teleconference, so Xu Huang, Zhang Liao, Huang Zhong, Gao Shun, Zhang He, Ma Chao, Pang De, Wei Yan, Gan Ning, Tai Shici and others were all supervising the battle on their respective fronts.
Li Dian, Le Jin, Chen Zhi, Zhou Cang, Ji Ling, Zang Ba, Wen Ping, etc., such second-line generals, followed their respective main generals to garrison the defense area.
In a word. Nine out of ten talents from the Three Kingdoms gathered under the banner of Great Qin. Emperor Qin Feng of Hongwu mobilized a qiē force to fight the Roman Empire.
As the commander of the front, the general Zhao Yun gave a briefing: the Great Qin army went from Minnagara Harbor in the south to Lanshi City. Along the main course of the Indus River and the first western route, it advanced 30 kilometers to the west, establishing a 500-kilometer defensive line.
on this line of defense. There are ten military bases that act as hubs. There are 1.5 million regular troops, 1.5 million militia.
In defensive battles. Great Qin's Yuan Rong crossbowmen, halberd warriors. The thunderbolts, the legions of beasts, dealt a heavy blow to the Roman phalanx.
Zhao Yun's face was ashamed, and he bowed: "The minister is incompetent, and the Romans broke through the defense line of the "Wall of Rest". ”
Qin Feng looked at Zhao Yun, the young man who chased the wind with the crown jade in the past is now mature and steady. He was relieved: "Zilong must not blame himself, Severus brutally drove tens of millions of people to be cannon fodder, how can we do the same to the people." Your decision to retreat is the right choice. ”
Zhao Yun was grateful for Qin Feng's understanding, and continued to talk about the military situation, "The two governors, Gan Ning and Tai Shici, are leading the Great Qin Navy to confront the Roman Navy in the Persian Gulf. He added: "Soon after our army established the second line of defense, Severu's military operations weakened considerably. ”
Qin Feng looked around at the ministers and said with a smile: "It seems that this Severus is waiting for the news of the victory of the Roman expeditionary force, but unfortunately, he can't wait!" ”
The ministers smiled, and Emperor Hongwu used 5,000 cavalry plus local militia guerrillas to annihilate 200,000 Roman expeditionary forces. In this way, even Xiang Yu, the overlord of Chu, can't do it. The ministers knew very well that it was the emperor's prestige among the people that gave the greatest support, and the soldiers were fearless with their lives, so that they could defeat the Roman expeditionary force. If other generals were replaced, without such prestige, they would not have been able to achieve this qiē.
Qin Feng sighed and waved his hand: "This is not me, it is Kong Ming, and the four generals Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhou Yu, and Lu Xun work together to eliminate the Roman expeditionary force." ”
"Your Majesty!" The ministers felt Qin Feng's mood and fell to the ground.
Guan Yu's face was red, and he dripped blood. Zhang Feitong's eyes trembled, and there was a tendency to cry. They were very remorseful about the first half of their lives, and they couldn't help but think: "When the Yellow Turban Rebellion was in place, it was time to follow the emperor!" The two couldn't help but think that Liu Bei was afraid that the two would follow Qin Feng, and they cried a lot, and they couldn't help but be even more disdainful.
On the other hand, the Hari River Basin, which originates in the central part of the Great Qin Guishan Prefecture and flows through the central part of Anxi. It is the Afghan-Iran boundary river in later generations, with a total length of 400 kilometers, and at this time, 50 kilometers downstream, there is a military base in Rome-Sestan.
This Sestan military base, located in the middle and rear of the entire Roman offensive front, was the seat of the Roman Emperor: Severus the Triumphant.
In the makeshift palace, Severus's roar was heard. Waiting and waiting, only to wait for the news of the total annihilation of the expeditionary force, not a single soldier returned, which made Severus furious.
"Idiots, a bunch of pigs. What glory bloodline, bullshit, it's all bullshit. I'm sure you're blind! Severus roared, pointing at the first patriarch of the temple, Antonic, Caesar, Octavian, Tiberius, and others, "What glory bloodline, what glory, it's all bullshit, bullshit!" ”
Caesar and the others glanced at each other, unconvinced, and said secretly: "Pompey's glorious bloodline was created by his ancestors back then, and he supported the army to coerce the Senate, and made a triumphant ceremony in the African war, and was awarded "greatness". At that time, the power of the triumvirate Pompey was the largest, and in the end it was in the hands of Caesar. Pompey, like his ancestors, was an idiot. ”
However, Severus was angry, so no one spoke.
Severus's army was blocked by the Qin army outside the subcontinent, and he thought that after the victory of the expeditionary force, the main force of the Qin army would be disheartened because of the loss of his homeland, and he would be able to break through the defense line and move straight in.
When Severus saw that his subordinates did not speak, he became even more angry and cried out; "You're dumb, what's the use of me asking you people? What's the use? ”
These glorious bloodlines are still useful to the empire, and in order to reflect his own value, Antonic was the first to come out and said: "Your Majesty, now that the war on land is stalemate, the one that can open up the situation the most is the navy. If the navy can win, it can transport soldiers at will behind the Great Qin defense line, and the Great Qin defense line will be meaningless. After we seized the sea dominance, Great Qin failed. ”
This was true, and Severus and the Glory Bloodline nodded for a while. Severus said: "The coastline of Daqin is long, if we can defeat the Daqin navy and send soldiers along the coastline of Daqin, then the Qin army can only fight fires everywhere, and our royal family can drive straight in." ”
If the Qin army did not go around to rescue, then the Roman army would be able to destroy the rear of the Great Qin. In an all-out war of the Empire, the countries that are destroyed in the rear are bound to lose.
Severus immediately made a decision and said, "Emperor Hongwu has come, and I think the Qin army is about to enter the counteroffensive stage. Caesar, Tiberius, and Octavian went to the front, and our army moved to the garrison to deplete the enemy's offensive forces. Antonique, you will immediately pass on my edict to the Imperial Navy. Grant the Commander Conon dictatorship...... No, grant Conong, Sipasos, and Malinus a joint dictatorship. Take the initiative to attack and be fully responsible for the battle against the Great Qin Navy. ”
So, when Emperor Hongwu arrived at the front, Severus responded, saying: "When the Imperial Navy is victorious, it is the moment when the door of victory is opened. The Oriental Triumph will be the crowning glory of Rome. Whoever has the greatest merit, I will make him the governor of China. ”
After this reward was passed out, the commanders of the Roman Empire were all beaten like chickens. Just ask a Chinese governor to rule almost the same territory as the previous Roman Empire, which is indeed the highest glory of Rome.
And Severus thought, "If you want to be the governor of China, there is no door." ”
On the other hand, the Daqin Fulousha military base.
Emperor Hongwu and his courtiers surrounded the sand table and studied the strategy of counterattack. Lao Jia Xu took the baton and pointed to the sand table and said: "Your Majesty, the Romans have begun to build a defense line on the Plateau of Rest, the enemy occupies the terrain, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack!" ”
Ancient times are not modern, and the side defending the city has an absolute advantage, which is why the Qin army was able to block the tens of millions of mobs in Rome. Now Qin Feng, who has solved his worries, is preparing to counterattack, then, he will have to face the Romans defending the city. The offensive pressure of the Qin army must be very high, and it is estimated that the casualties will not be small.
Qin Feng fell into deep thought, this is not yet under the city of Rome, he can't be like the Water Margin, and finally put all his "one hundred and eight generals" into it, "You must fight steadily and steadily, step by step...... ”
Guo Jia said: "Your Majesty, sooner or later, the Imperial Navy and the Roman Navy will fight, and as long as they win, the Romans' defense line will be useless. We can transport our troops directly to the Babylonian region in the Persian Gulf, in the rear of Rome. ”
As a result, the Great Qin side and the Roman side had a surprisingly consistent strategy, and the imperial war moved from land warfare to naval warfare. Whoever wins the naval battle will open the door to victory. (To be continued......)
