"What!?"

Zhang Liao and Dian Wei entered the big tent, and Zhang Liao called "Your Majesty" lightly. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Cao Cao raised his head and glanced at Zhang Liao and Dian Wei, "It's Wen Yuan and Dian Wei, is there something wrong?" ”

Zhang Liao hugged his fists and said: "Your Majesty, I heard that General Zhang Ren"

Cao Cao nodded, stood up, walked to the door of the big tent, and looked at the clear blue sky, "General Zhang Ren and the soldiers of the Sixth Army are all killed!" The voice was low.

Turning around suddenly, he said resolutely: "Now is not the time to talk about this!" The Sixth Legion did not die in vain, the Romans had paid a terrible price to defeat them, and after this battle, they would have to rest for at least a few days if they were to continue their eastward advance! Now the question is, how long can Zilong and Meng Qi resist the Roman army? And will our side be able to solve the problem as soon as possible? ”

Zhang Liao clenched his fists and said: "Your Majesty, I think that a part of the army can be transferred from the Kangju area to support Qinxifeng, and in addition, the rest servant army of Khorezm Fortress can also be transferred to Qinxifeng!" ”

Cao Cao frowned, "The Battle of Dura Europos and the Assyrian servant army almost caused a catastrophe, but I am not at all at ease about these foreign servant army!" Transfer the rest servant army to our side to strengthen the attack force, and at the same time transfer the more than 100,000 garrisons stationed at the Khorezm fortress to support Qin Xifeng! ”

"Yes! By the way, Your Majesty, the one hundred and twenty catapults newly produced by the Western Regions Martial Arts Research Institute are about to be shipped! ”

"Don't transport it to this side, transport it to Zilong!"

"Yes!"

Cao Cao said: "This matter is like this! ”

Returning to the sand table, he looked at the model of Dekanur City in front of him and said fiercely: "Order the three armies to continue the attack, and be sure to break through the city in the shortest possible time!" ”

"No!"

Once again, the Wei army launched a fierce attack on Dekanur, and the offensive was like a wave after wave, and the city of Dekanrur was like a ship in a stormy sea.

The Jin army resisted very tenaciously, and the Jin State army, with the elite War Bear Legion of the Jin State as the core, showed the strongest will to fight since the beginning of the war.

The day's fighting was over, and the Wei army temporarily retreated. The walls were filled with wolf smoke, and the remains of various siege equipment were scattered across the battlefield.

Zhang Liao, who was in charge of commanding the battle, returned to the big tent and pleaded guilty with a look of shame: "Your Majesty, the last general is incompetent, please punish Your Majesty!" ”

Cao Cao picked up Zhang Liao and patted Zhang Liao on the shoulder, "Why should Wen Yuan blame himself!" In the face of more than 100,000 enemy troops, how could it be possible to attack the city in one day! Today you commanded very well and almost tore through the opponent's defense several times! ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Cao Cao pondered: "Let the second army go up tomorrow, and at the same time attack the west city wall with all catapults!" ”

"No!"

Eyes turn to Rome.

When the news came from the front, the otherwise dull city was boiling, and the people cheered excitedly for this great victory, and many people spontaneously took to the streets to shout the names of Caracalla and Seth.

"Your Majesty, listen, the people are cheering!" Prime Minister Thomas laughed.

Caracalla shook his head with a wry smile, "Hurrah? It's too early to cheer! In order to annihilate the 100,000 Wei army, our army paid a heavy price of more than 200,000 casualties! In addition, according to Seth's report, the morale of our army was not uplifted by this victory, but was somewhat demoralized because of the desperate resistance of the Wei army! ”

Thomas frowned and nodded, and said with emotion: "The Wei army is the most brave and fearless army I have ever seen, even those legendary armies in Homer's epic are just like that!" ”

Caracalla nodded, "But don't be too nervous!" Our Spartan legions were no worse than them, at least not worse than them in combat effectiveness! By the way, has the heavy armor for the Spartan Legion been shipped? ”

"It's already shipped!"

Caracalla nodded and muttered, "I hope these equipment can help the Spartan Legion fight against the elite of the Wei army!" ”

Caracalla sighed suddenly.

"Your Majesty is worried about the Jin Kingdom?" Thomas asked.

Caracalla nodded, "Now that the main force of the Wei army has penetrated deep into the hinterland of the Jin Kingdom, the people of the Jin Kingdom don't know how long they can resist?" ”

Thomas hesitated, "Your Majesty, I think we can think of a different way of thinking now?" ”

Caracalla glanced at Thomas, "What's your idea?" ”

Thomas whispered his suggestion.

Caracalla frowned and paced.

After a long moment, Caracalla stopped and frowned, "If we do this, I'm afraid that no country will believe us anymore!" ”

"Your Majesty, there is no country standing on the same line with us now!"

Caracalla hesitated for a moment and said, "I still have to think about it!" Even if I want to do this, there is another very important problem, our current military strength is basically pressed on the Eastern Front, and we don't even have the strength to suppress the Senate and the Moorish rebels! How to achieve your plan? ”

Thomas said confidently: "Judging from the current situation, it is not necessary to have many troops to realize this plan, only to let Yusuf's army go north, and let the army stationed in the province of Wright go east!" Once successful, our Roman Empire will gain great benefits, and the Wei people's gains will be cut in half! Hmph, they fought bloodily, and we picked the ready-made fruits! ”

Caracalla frowned and said, "I'll think about it again, you go down first!" ”

"Yes!"

The gaze returned to the Jin country.

Hundreds of Wei army catapults bombarded the western wall of Dekanrur, and the raindrops of stone bullets crackled on the already partially collapsed city wall, and smoke and debris flew all over the sky, and a huge sound resounded through the heavens and the earth.

The large array of soldiers of the Second Army and the Fourth Army of the Wei Army sat quietly on the plain outside the city, and they were slaughtered. Cao Cao immediately stood on the high post on one side, looking at the city of Dekanrul not far away, and a group of generals stood behind Cao Cao.

After a round of artillery bombardment, a total of 40,000 soldiers from the forward battalion of the Second Army Corps and the left battalion of the Fourth Army launched a charge, shouting like a stormy wave, like a surging tide sweeping towards the city wall.

In the blink of an eye, the battle turned into a tragic and bloody hand-to-hand combat.

Wei soldiers rushed through climbing carts and ladders, or rushed up from the slope formed by the collapse. The cart slammed into the gates.

The crossbowmen of the Jin army desperately rained arrows down the city, and the rolling stones and trees rumbled down like waterfalls, and from time to time Wei soldiers fell from mid-air.

The battle lasted for a quarter of an hour, a group of soldiers of the forward battalion of the Second Army tore a gap in a city wall, and then hundreds of soldiers of the forward battalion poured onto the city wall, the soldiers of both sides fought bloodily on the wall, the battle was extremely tragic, both sides failed to gain the upper hand, the soldiers of the second army of the Wei army were all fearless to death, and the soldiers of the War Bear Legion who defended this section were also desperately resisting, and both sides were red-eyed. The follow-up troops of the Wei army continued to go up through ladders and flying arms, and the Jin army also arrived in a steady stream.

The officers and men of the forward battalion of the Second Army of the Wei Army became more and more courageous, and gradually pushed the front of the Jin Army back, and the officers and men of the Jin Army with the elite War Bear Army as the core gritted their teeth and desperately resisted. The corpses of soldiers on both sides of the city wall were layered on top of each other, and the blood pooled into a thin stream flowing down the brick cracks.

The Second Legion of the Wei Army relied on its strong combat power to suppress the Jin Army, which was superior in numbers, for a while, and the performance of the Wei Army's Barrier Sword Warriors was impressive.

However, soon, the Jin Guojun with the War Bear Army as the core relied on the advantage of defense to move the situation over again.

In this way, the soldiers of the two sides fought repeatedly on the city wall, and the battle situation was in a state of see-saw, which was extremely fierce.

On the other side, the Wei army attacking along the collapsed wall encountered a strong resistance from the War Bear Legion, and the soldiers of the War Bear Legion held double-edged giant axes and wore chest protection heavy armor, guarding both sides of the collapsed wall.

The Wei army attacked several times, but failed to break through the opponent's defense, so they changed their tactics and formed a shield wall with tower shieldmen, with spearmen in the rear, and pushed towards the city wall as a whole.

The soldiers of the War Bear Legion wielded a giant axe and slammed into the Wei army line, and the loud bangs sounded one after another, this is the sound of the soldiers of the War Bear Legion smashing the tower shield with a giant axe, the tower shield of the Wei army is made of a combination of hemlock wood and raw cowhide, which is extremely strong, but it makes a burst sound under the smashing of the opponent, and the soldiers holding the tower shield all purse their lips and look very difficult.

The spearmen who were behind the tower shield line suddenly struck, and the sharp spears stabbed out from the gap between the tower shields, only to see the soldiers of the War Bear Legion who were as fierce as beasts being stabbed to the ground one after another.

The soldiers of the War Bear Legion desperately rushed towards the Wei army front, but they fell one by one in front of the line, and the Wei soldiers stepped on the corpses of the soldiers of the War Bear Legion to move forward, and the Wei army had an absolute advantage on the scene, but in fact, it was not, and the fierce impact of the War Bear Legion also made the Wei army very difficult.

At the city gate, the Wei soldiers hurriedly dragged the city-charging cart lit by the fire pot thrown by the Jin Guoren out of the city gate hole, and then pushed another city-rushing cart up.

The sound of the crash was heard again.

The crossbowmen of the Wei army relied on the tower shield line to release arrows on the city wall, and from time to time there were Jin soldiers sitting on the city wall.

Tens of thousands of Wei cavalry were on both flanks to protect the attacking infantry from enemy raids.

The war was fought from morning to noon, and from noon to evening, and showed no signs of stopping.

The Jin army was already quite tired, and the War Bear Legion was still trying its best to resist, but the other main army showed the intention of retreating, and those garrisons had begun to collapse.

The Wei army's attack force has changed two waves, and the offensive is still extremely fierce, several sections of the city wall have been broken through by the Wei army, and the city gate is already in danger.

A blood-stained general of the Jin State Army rushed to Nuo Kun, "Your Excellency General, we, we can't resist anymore!" ”

Nuokun stepped on the war horse with a mace, and shouted in a deep voice: "Pass the order, the whole army will counterattack!" (To be continued.) )
