"But General, your wounds!"
"I can't care about it anymore! Walk! ”
The generals helped Butters out of the tent, mounted his horse, and hurried north. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
A moment later, Karen Sa personally commanded 3,000 cavalry and came to the camp. At this time, a scout came and reported: "Lord Governor, the enemy general Butters and five hundred remnants are fleeing towards the Caucasus Mountains!" "I look excited.
"My lord, let's chase it!" One of the generals was eager to try.
Karen shook her head and smiled, "There's no need! Besides, the Roman court is afraid that it will not be able to spare him! ”
Turning to the generals, he said, "Let's see what the Romans have left us." ”
The generals excitedly agreed and beat their horses down.
Karen rode around the empty Roman barracks, with more than a thousand cavalry crowding behind. Karen pondered her next strategy.
Riding a horse to the flagpole next to the big tent of the Roman army, he reined in his horse and looked up at the lonely fluttering Roman eagle battle flag on the flagpole, and couldn't help but be proud.
A moment later, a subordinate came up to Karen Sa in a hurry, "My lord, guess what we sent in the warehouse?" ”
Karen laughed, "What else will there be besides grain and grass?" Could it be that there are catapults? ”
"Your Excellency, you guessed right! Catapults indeed! A whole hundred! ”
Karen was stunned for a moment, and said urgently: "Take me to see!" ”
"Yes!"
Karen Sa followed his generals to a separate area at the back of the barracks, which was the warehouse of the Roman army.
At this time, the entire warehouse was firmly controlled by five hundred cavalry.
Karen Sa followed his subordinates to a large makeshift warehouse, where a hundred catapults appeared in front of him.
"A hundred catapults?! But since he had a hundred catapults, why didn't he just attack the city? Karen looked puzzled.
The general scoffed: "Eighty percent of him thinks he can annihilate us without these cannons at all!" ”
Karen Sa nodded and asked, "Did you find any grain and grass?" ”
The general replied: "I found 200,000 stone grain and grass, and it is not far from here!" Come with me, my lord! ”
"No need! Send someone to inform Jerm and immediately send someone to bring back the cannon and food! ”
"Yes!" The ministry will answer the promise.
Jerm was one of Karensa's cronies, and he was in charge of the training of the entire secret camp in the first place, and the mutinous Tony was only his deputy.
Karen Sa then returned to Altassar. That night, all the food, grass and artillery from the Roman camp were transported back to Artaschat, and the Roman camp was burned.
The next day, Karensar ordered Jelm and his army of 60,000 to defend Artashat, while he himself led the army back to Dura Europos.
By this time, Karen Sa's generals Dude and Barak had already led an army of 50,000 to build a defensive line on the border of the province of Osroina.
Over the next few days, the news of the annihilation of 75,000 gold **** by Karensar and Artasat spread throughout Assyria, greatly boosting the morale of the rebels.
The main basilica of the Roman Royal Palace.
"The 75,000 Imperial Army was wiped out by a mere rebel army! How Butters hit!! The Roman Emperor Caracalla said angrily. You can see that he wants to kill people now.
"Your Majesty is angry! Although such a result is sad and infuriating, it is natural to think about it carefully! Old Prime Minister Thomas said.
"Of course!? How can it be taken for granted that the whole army is annihilated!? Caracalla's anger was directed at the old prime minister, Thomas.
The old prime minister, Thomas, said calmly: "Although Karen Sa is now the leader of the rebels, he was also a great general of our army back then!" There are not many people in the empire who are stronger than him! It couldn't be more normal for him to successfully annihilate my 70,000 imperial army with 200,000 rebels! ”
Caracalla looked puzzled and angry, and said, "I still don't understand, why did Karen Sa betray the Empire?" ”
The old prime minister Thomas said: "I'm afraid only he knows about this!" ”
Caracalla sat back on the throne, "All right! Let's not talk about it! ”
"Where is Schneider now?" ”
Intelligence officer Yushchenko replied: "General Schneider should have entered the territory of Bithynia by now!" ”
Bithynia is a province next to the southern estuary of the Black Sea and belongs to Asia Minor.
Caracalla muttered: "It will take at least ten days to reach the front!" In the past ten days, I am afraid that there will be changes that we don't want to see! ”
"Order Sipat to immediately lead the garrison that has been assembled around him to go out to the province of Osrowena to confront the rebels! to prevent the rebels from continuing westward! ”
"Yes!" Yushchenko promised.
Sipat is the governor of Cappadocia Province in the east of the Twelve Eastern Provinces, although this person is a civilian, but in his early years he served in the army and was also good at military strategy.
"Your Majesty, the rebellion in the Egyptian and Jerusalem regions is also very rampant, don't you care?"
Caracalla pondered for a moment, "Let Cliff lead the naval army at the same time!" For the time being, we just need to stabilize the situation in these two places! ”
Caracalla does not plan to draw legions from the north for the time being.
At present, the Roman Empire has five legions in the north, with a total army of 250,000.
The distribution of the Roman Empire's military strength was that five legions were in the north, two of which were in front of England, and the other three were on the western front of the Jin Kingdom: seven legions were on the northern front of the Caucasus, but one and a half were annihilated, and now there were only five and a half legions: three legions were in the west of the Great Wei forces, but two of the three legions had been completely wiped out, and the other had mutinied: seven legions were on their way to Assyria: the last two legions remained in the capital Rome to prepare for the eventuality.
The Roman regular army had a total of twenty-four legions, an army of 1.2 million, but in just half a month, the twenty-four regular legions had dismantled four and a half legions.
"This Karen Sa is one of the most relied on generals of the Roman Empire! A beautiful ambush annihilated the Roman army of 70,000 people with one and a half legions! Cao Cao put down the handbook in his hand and smiled.
Xun Yu smiled and nodded: "After this battle, the Karen Sa army will no longer be at a psychological disadvantage when facing the Roman army!" ”
Cao Cao frowned and said, "But Karen Sa's situation is still not optimistic!" The rebels under his command may not be able to occupy much advantage in the face of the Roman regular army led by Schneider, even in the face of the local garrisons of the twelve eastern provinces! The Roman Empire is simply an invincible behemoth relative to Karen Sa at this moment! ”
Chen Gong said with a puzzled expression: "What Your Majesty said is extremely true! It is strange why did Karen Sa have the audacity to rebel against the Roman Empire? Could it be that he was sure that we would definitely send troops to help him from the beginning of the fight?! (To be continued.) )
