"Order all armies to hurry up and cross the river!"

Seth ordered. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Yes!"

Seth led dozens of his own soldiers to the shore.

At this time, the night was thick, and in the bright moonlight, I saw a long procession advancing from the pontoon bridge to the east, like a giant dragon.

"Your Excellency General, if the Wei army launches a large-scale counterattack at this time, my army may be difficult to resist!" General Kampal was worried.

Seth shook his head, "No! If the main force of the Wei army is about to arrive, there will be no iron cavalry to launch a counterattack in a hurry during the day today! I don't think their main force will arrive until at least tomorrow! ”

The crossing of the river went very smoothly, and the Wei army never appeared, as Seth had expected.

In the middle of the night, just when everyone thought that the Wei army would not appear again, a fire dragon suddenly sprang up in the woods not far from the east bank, and then several fire dragons scurried up from different parts of the woods.

Seth, who was about to return to the camp, was shocked when he saw this, "Not good! They will attack with fire! ”

Turning his head, he shouted to the generals beside him: "Immediately order all armies to stop crossing the river, and order the troops on the east bank to withdraw immediately!" ”

A few fires spread quickly, and in a moment they became a prairie fire, and the pine forests were exceptionally dry in summer, and the pine trees were simply fine torches. The whole sky was lit red with flames.

The Romans hurried towards the west bank, and behind them were the flames that were rapidly chasing, their teeth and claws like terrible monsters, and some soldiers were swept into the churning flames and let out terrible screams.

The next morning, the fire still did not stop, and the raging flames completely obscured the brilliance of the rising sun in the east, and the whole world was immersed in a very strange color.

The entire forest on the east bank of the river was covered in flames, and the original Roman outpost camp was completely submerged in the churning flames, and the flames continued to spread along the forest.

Ma Chao was immediately on a hill far away on the east bank, looking at the fierce flames raging in front of him.

Tens of thousands of iron horsemen immediately followed him, and a group of generals surrounded him.

"Good boy, this fire burns! General, what do we do now? Just look at it? General Yang Meng asked.

"What else can you do if you don't look like that? You can't go to put out the fire, can you? ”

The generals couldn't help but laugh.

Ma Chao turned the horse's head, "This fire will not be extinguished for a while!" All armies rest on the spot! ”

"Yes!"

The gaze turned to the side of the Roman army.

Carters returned to the big tent and said with a look of shame: "Your Excellency, General, I ・・・・・・"

Seth said, "You don't have to blame yourself! You can't be blamed for this! You've done your best! ”

"Thank you, General!" Carters said gratefully.

Seth smiled, "Actually, we're lucky!" A fire of this magnitude did not cost us anything! ”

"Your Excellency, General, now we are no longer able to cross the Camphor River before the main forces of the enemy army arrive! What's next? A subordinate general asked.

Seth thought for a moment and said categorically: "In that case, then we will attack Dura Europos with all our might!" The 6th, 7th, 123rd, 124th, and 2nd Spartan Legions defended the West Bank, and the rest of the armies followed me to attack Dura Europos! "Yes!"

"Kampal, how's the situation going north?"

Kampal replied: "General Yusuf is storming Artashat, but I'm afraid there won't be any progress in the short term!" ”

Seth nodded, and asked again, "What about the Jin people?" ”

"The army of the Jin Kingdom has begun to attack the defense line of Luojia Mountain! Another large army is marching towards the Tunguska Fortress, this was intelligence from two days ago, and now it may have attacked! ”

In the vast Western Regions and the Assyrian land, the various armies of the Wei army were moving at full speed, and their direction was the defense line of Luojia Mountain on the northern line. At this time, the first batch of reinforcements from the Central Plains, the 200,000 troops of the Fifth Army and the Twelfth Army Corps, had already entered the Kangju territory, and the follow-up 500,000 troops led by Cao Cao had also passed the Yumen Pass.

The Northern Protectorate, the Third Army of the Wei Army, the Xuanjia Cavalry, the Northern Protectorate Garrison, and the local temporarily recruited Xianbei and Xiongnu have been assembled, and their goal is the Tunguska Fortress of the Jin Kingdom.

All the vassal and protectorate states of the Wei Empire were mobilized, and hundreds of thousands of servant armies were rushing to the various fronts.

On the official roads leading from the Central Plains to the front line, the long transport queues were connected from end to end, as if there was no end.

The people of the Central Plains were very nervous, and they all felt that this battle would determine the fate of the world and the future of the empire.

The palace lost its cheerful atmosphere of the past, Cao Cao's wives were silently praying for their husbands, and the children were all listless, even Cao Le, who had always had excess energy.

The streets of Rome are talking about the current war, and it is interesting that many people are not optimistic about the current war, probably because the previous war between Rome and the Wei army was almost repeatedly defeated.

There is a great deal of concern that if the war is lost, it may be followed by an apocalyptic catastrophe.

For this reason, many people are secretly in contact with each other to prepare for this day.

Jerusalem.

"Master!" Alex's cronies will come up behind her and salute.

At this time, Alex was standing on the highest point of the palace in Jerusalem, looking down on the city and the people in front of her.

Alex turned around and raised the document in her hand, "This is what the envoy of the Wei Empire just handed over to me!" The Wei Empire wants us to cooperate with them in launching a counterattack against the Romans in front of them! ”

The generals were stunned for a moment, and the discussion began one after another.

"Master, we shouldn't be involved in such a war, if we are not careful, we will be crushed to pieces in the contest between these two powers!" Reiter said.

The generals chimed in.

Alex frowned, "Have you thought about it?" Once we don't act according to the Wei people's demands, then once the Wei people win, what will we do? ”

The generals couldn't help but show embarrassment. "But with our current strength, it is not wise to participate in such a war!" If we get involved, we will almost certainly fall victim, but if we don't get involved in this war, then we still have the possibility of surviving! ”

The generals originally thought that Alex was reasonable, but after listening to Leiter's analysis, they felt that Leiter's words were also reasonable, and they couldn't help but be in a dilemma.

Alex frowned and said, "What you said is not unreasonable! But you're exaggerating the consequences of our involvement in this battle! In fact, the Wei people did not expect us to collide with the main force of the Romans, but only hoped that we would contain the Roman army in the Jerusalem area, and this group of Roman troops would be similar to ours, and we would be able to contain them while avoiding our own heavy casualties! ”

"Master!" LETTE still wants to persuade again.

Alex interrupted Rayter with a wave of her hand, "I've made up my mind!" I think the Wei people will definitely be able to win! We have to bet on this! If the gods had favored us, the Kingdom of Jerusalem would have lasted even a thousand years from now! ”

Lei Tet smiled bitterly: "Master, why do I think you are doing this for the emperor of the Wei Empire?" ”

Alex blushed for no reason, and then shouted unhappily: "Leiter, we are discussing business, you don't want to get involved in anything else!" Okay, I've decided, you can do what you say from me! ”

"Yes!" The crowd said yes and withdrew.

Alex looked at the eastern sky, and couldn't help but think of Leiter's words just now, and a tall figure seemed to appear in front of her. Alex was stunned for a moment, blushing, and shook her head vigorously.

Iberian Peninsula.

Alayang hurried to the hall of the Senate, where the only elder, John Leck, was waiting for him.

"Elder, is there something urgent that you called me here in such a hurry?" Alayan asked.

John Leke said, "Just now the envoy of the Wei State handed me the order of the Wei Empire," picked up the paperwork on the side and handed it to Alayang.

Alayan read it, handed it back to John Lek, took out a similar document from his bosom, and said, "I received the same order just now!" ”

John Lek glanced at the paperwork in Alayan's hand and asked, "Your Excellency, what are your plans?" ”

Alayang said categorically: "Your Excellency Elder, we have no choice at all now, we are now on the chariot of the Wei Empire, and we can only fight with him!" ”

John Leke nodded and said categorically: "That's good! I immediately ordered all armies to prepare to go north for battle! Hmph, now that the main Roman forces are all in the east, this is also our chance! ”

Look back at the Assyrian battlefield.

The Roman army fiercely attacked Dura Europos, looking from the city wall, only to see a sea of people, people could not breathe, the shouts were earth-shattering, the catapult roared, the stone bullets were like a meteor shower in the air staggered and flew in pairs, the stone bullets that fell into the crowd set off a wave of people, and some stone bullets hit the city wall violently, and the debris of the bricks flew in the air.

The scene was spectacular and intense, and human life at this time seemed so small and insignificant, and in the blink of an eye, many people were born to die.

A group of Roman soldiers rushed to the city walls, and the two sides fell into a fierce hand-to-hand fight, the Romans desperately tried to expand the bridgehead, while the defending Wei army did not give an inch.

The two sides roared and fought like wild beasts, and everyone put life and death on the line, with only one thought in their minds, to kill each other.

The trembling was terrible until the sun set, and there was no intention of stopping.

The trumpet of the Roman army on behalf of the retreat finally sounded, the blood-colored moonlight was like the tide of the ebb tide, the battlefield was surprisingly quiet, only the sound of footsteps and the heavy wheezing of people, the corpses on the city wall were all over the field, a tragic scene, the air was filled with the smell of choking blood and gunsmoke, and the soldiers on both sides looked a little numb.
