Chapter 1269: Take the initiative to attack
Thank you for the reward from the prince of the Tibetan Imperial Middle School (Tibetan Middle School)!
Thomas nodded, "Your Majesty, there is a saying in the Wei people, 'The lion fights the rabbit with all his strength'!" It is better to transfer the 1st Spartan Regiment, which has no combat mission, to Jerusalem! ”
"Good! That's it! Caracalla returned to his desk and wrote down a decree, signed his name, and stamped it with the seal representing the Roman imperial power. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Caracalla handed the order to Thomas, "Administrator, give the Order to the First Spartan Legion at once!" Thomas took the order, read it carefully, answered the promise, and exited the study.
Caracalla asked Yushchenko: "Recently, has there been any change in the Wei Empire's expedition to the west?" ”
Yushchenko replied: "There is no change! It's still the same as before! The other side doesn't seem to have any intention of attacking from land! ”
Caracalla nodded. Thinking of the scene when he met Zhao Yun that day, he couldn't help but sigh secretly and ordered: "Continue to pay attention to their movements!" Don't slack off! By the way, don't you have any news of the spies you sent to the wilderness? ”
The 'wilderness' in Caracalla's mouth is actually the southern coast of the Arab region, where they built their naval outposts.
"Not yet!"
Caracalla thought for a moment, "Alright! It's okay! Go down! ”
"Yes!"
"Wait! What's new on the side of the Kingdom of Gold and England? ”
Yushchenko replied: "Everything is as usual! Your Majesty rest assured! ”
Caracalla nodded and said to Yushchenko: "It's all right! There you go! ”
Yushchenko saluted Caracalla and withdrew.
――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――
A few days later, in the middle of the night.
Gan Ning, who was already asleep, was called up by Zhou Tai.
Gan Ning rubbed his temples and asked in a daze, "Youping, what's so urgent?" ”
Zhou Tai said: "Our patrol caught a few Roman spies on the beach!" ”
Gan Ningden came to his senses, "Roman agent?!" ”
Zhou Tai nodded.
"Have you asked?"
"Now it's being tortured! What's more troublesome is that a few other agents ran away! ”
Gan Ning abruptly said, "How much do they know about us?" ”
Zhou Tai shook his head, "I don't know yet!" ”
"Let's go! Check it out! Gan Ning impatiently got out of the big tent.
A moment later, the two of them came to the outside of the tent of clothes on the edge of the camp, and at that moment there was a terrifying scream from inside the tent.
Gan Ning and Zhou Tai walked in, only to see a few shirtless big men torturing two white men who were tied to a pillar, the two white men were scarred, and their flesh and blood were blurred, making people's scalps tingle.
Seeing the two of them coming in, the sergeants hurriedly clasped their fists and saluted.
Gan Ning glanced at the two white people, who were already out of breath and out of breath. Shen Sheng asked the official in charge of interrogation, "Did you speak?" ”
The official nodded, and hurriedly presented the record on the side desk to Gan Ning.
Gan Ning looked at it carefully, breathed a sigh of relief, and handed the record to Zhou Tai, "It's okay!" ”
Zhou Tai looked at the record and said with a smile: "In this way, it has helped us a lot!" ”
He glanced at the two white men and asked, "What to do with them?" ”
Gan Ning asked the torture officer: "Can they still be saved?" ”
The official shook his head and explained, "Since it is necessary to obtain information in a short time, the brothers used hot hands!" ”
Turning his head and glancing at the two white men, "I can't save it even if I want to save it now!" ”
Gan Ning said categorically: "Since this is the case, give them a good time!" Find a ground to bury! ”
"Yes!"
Gan Ning and Zhou Tai came out of the tabernacle.
At that moment, two dull screams rang out from inside the tabernacle.
Gan Ning and Zhou Tai returned to the big tent and came to the sand table.
Gan Ning glanced at the situation on the sand table and asked, "Youping, do you think our plans need to change?" ”
Zhou Tai thought for a moment, shook his head and said, "I don't think it's necessary!" According to the accounts of the two captives, the information they received was basically the same as the information we were going to give to the Romans! ”
Gan Ning said: "In this case, then the original plan remains unchanged!" ”
A day later, in the evening.
A small boat entered the patrol range of the Roman outpost, and was immediately spotted by the patrol speeder in charge. The patrol clipper immediately went up and captured the boat.
When the Roman soldiers boarded the boat, one of the men on the boat panted and exclaimed, "Quick! Fast! Take me to His Excellency General Lielund! I'm a senior intelligence agent! ”
Soon after, several people from the boat were taken to the tent of Rylund.
"You're an intelligence agent?" Lielund asked.
The leader immediately took out the letter of the representative's identity, and after confirming that it was correct, he asked urgently, "What have you gained?" ”
The agent swallowed, looking thirsty.
Lielund immediately called for clear water.
Several spies held the clear water whale and swallowed the cow drink, and finally exhaled happily. The lead agent carefully took out a package from his bosom, which was not large and wrapped in an oilcloth.
The agent placed the package in front of him, opened it, and pulled out what resembled a drawing.
Lielund's eyes lit up, "This is!?" ”
The spy said: "This is the defense map of the Wei army that we have obtained at a great cost!" There was emotion on his face.
Lielund suddenly stood up, and the surrounding generals also looked surprised.
Lielund walked up to the agent, took the drawing with both hands, looked at it, and couldn't help but say excitedly: "Okay! All right! I want to play Your Majesty, please take credit for you! ”
Several spies couldn't help but be overjoyed and thanked them together.
Relund ordered them to be brought down to rest.
Lielund returned to the desk, looked at it carefully, patted the desk excitedly, raised his head, looked at the generals and laughed: "We can act!" ”
Lielund took the map and came to the sand table, and said to a general beside him: "You lead the main force of the navy and 10,000 officers and soldiers of the Eighth Army to attack from the Wei army and navy!" Pay attention to the catapults that suppress the Wei army! ”
"Yes!"
Raylund glanced at everyone, "The others will follow me to lead the main force of the Eighth Legion ashore from here!" ”
Lielund pointed to a beach a few miles north of the Wei base.
The generals were taken aback, and some people questioned: "Your Excellency, the beachhead here is densely covered with strange rocks and cliffs!" Landing from here? ”
Lielund said with a smile: "Because of this, the Wei army's strength here must be limited, and there is not even a defensive force!" ”
All the generals were suddenly, everyone was gearing up, looking impatient.
The Roman navy, which had already been prepared, left the Shuizhai base with 50,000 soldiers of the Eighth Army and tens of thousands of navy the next day, and came towards the Wei army.
After the two envoys, Gan Ning and Zhou Tai received relevant information.
Don't wonder why Gan Ning and Zhou Tai got the information so quickly, because the Wei army also had spies lurking near the Romans' water village.
Gan Ning and Zhou Tai immediately arranged according to the established plan, and the main force of the Wei navy quickly left the water village and disappeared into the vast sea.
In the early hours of the next morning, the Wei patrol speedboat reported, "The main force of the Roman navy has been found!" ”
Half an hour later, the main force of the Roman navy appeared in front of the Wei army, and hundreds of warships covered the sky and the sun, and the momentum was incomparably magnificent.
Zhou Tai frowned.
At this time, the various units of the Wei army were ready.
To Zhou Tai's surprise, the Roman army did not attack immediately, and the entire fleet stopped outside the range of the Wei catapult.
Time passed little by little in a tense atmosphere.
In the evening, the Roman navy, which had not moved all day, suddenly moved, and several detachments of clippers carrying landing soldiers rushed towards the Wei batteries on the coast.
Soon the Clippers were within range of the Wei army's catapults. The Wei army's catapult could not see the opponent's situation clearly, and could only attack by feeling, and the attack effect was obviously not ideal.
The catapults on the turret were able to fire at the Roman Clippers as they navigated through the night, but the attack was not satisfactory.
The officer on the battery simply ordered the battery to stop attacking the opposing clippers, transferred the catapults to the direction of the main attack of the Roman army, and ordered the garrisons on the battery to prepare for battle.
Two quarters of an hour later, the Romans' clippers on both flanks landed successfully, and then 2,000 Roman soldiers jumped off their ships and rushed towards the Wei battery.
The Wei army relied on the trenches, fences and other defensive facilities on the periphery of the fort to block the Roman army, and repelled the Roman commandos several times. At the same time, the main forces of the Roman fleet began to attack the Wei army's water village.
Dozens of warships advanced to the attack position and bombarded the Wei army's water village.
The catapults on the Wei battery's batteries also began to bombard the Roman fleet, only to see the cannonballs whizzing into the sea, and the water column rose into the sky, accompanied by dazzling firelight.
The Roman commandos who attacked the Wei army fort changed their strategy in the case of several unsuccessful attacks, and used the daredevils to carry fire oil canisters to attack, and one by one the Roman army daredevils were shot by the Wei army's strong crossbow in front of the position, but there were still several daredevils rushing under the fence, and then only to see several fireballs rising up, and the fence and gate collapsed.
The guarding officer could not help but be startled, and hurriedly ordered all the officers and men of the garrison to gather towards the gap; At the same time, the Roman commandos were rushing towards this side like a tidal wave.
The soldiers of both sides slammed into each other at the gap, and started hand-to-hand combat, the scene was extremely bloody and tragic, the soldiers on both sides roared, intertwined with the screams, their eyes were red, they didn't care about life and death, they fought hard to kill each other, and the blood rain flew above the heads of the soldiers on both sides.
At the same time, the main force of the Roman fleet broke through the outermost defensive line of the Wei army with catapult fire, while two of its own warships were destroyed by the fire of the battery.
The Roman fleet then advanced and bombarded the second line of defense of the Wei army with catapult fire. Everything seems to be going very well.
The Roman general who was responsible for commanding the attack of the fleet was a close subordinate of the Roman admiral Relund, named Trege, who had been following Relund on the sea campaign, and was also the old man by Caracalla's side, who was good at water warfare, characterized by being cautious, but also very bold when necessary.
