Chapter 973: The Roman Legion vs. the Beifu Army

"The scuffle has been going on for five hours, or ten hours. Gongsun Yue of our army was killed, Di Qing and Zhao Kuo were injured, and it is estimated that 230,000 people will be killed or wounded......"

When Le Yi arrived at the front line of the Blue Hoof Pavilion, it was already close to dusk.

The physical strength of each legion was really unable to support it, so Mingjin withdrew his troops and retreated to Wangkexian.

The coalition forces on the opposite side were also exhausted, the Tachibana family was killed at 10 o'clock and 10 o'clock, several generals of the Shimazu family were also killed, and the general of the Goryeo Kingdom, Kang Handan, was wounded, and the coalition army retreated to Seoulhyeon.

The two armies continued to confront each other.

The plan of the Goryeo coalition forces to introduce the Xia army into the valley terrain that was not conducive to the use of the large cavalry, and then annihilate its main force failed.

The Xia army's intention to break through the defense line of the Goryeo Kingdom and quickly capture Kaegyong and occupy the entire Goryeo Kingdom could not be achieved for a while.

"The terrain here restricts cavalry from entering for long distances. The location of the Goryeo King's Fortress is a dangerous place, and the offensive against the Goryeo Kingdom may be protracted. ”

After Le Yi counted the losses, he found that he could not take Kaijing quickly, so he could only try to fight with the allied forces of the Goryeo State.

Fortunately, there was no need to use Le Yi's legions in the various battlefields in the Guannai, and Chutian gave Le Yi carte blanche to temporarily take the military and political power of Goryeo, and Le Yi had plenty of time to take Goryeo.

At present, the task assigned by Chutian to Le Yi - to occupy half of the country of Goryeo, Le Yi has been completed.

"It's better to send a team of soldiers who dare to die to burn down the Longshan granary."

Prince Yan, whose face was gloomy because of the death of Gongsun Yue, pointed out on the map where Li Chenggui had hoarded grain and grass.

In the eastern part of the Langya Kingdom, two Roman legions, the 15th Apollo Legion and the 17th Doom Legion, served as the front army and attacked Xihai County, which was occupied by the Wu army.

Xihai County is an important source of sea salt, and after being occupied by the Wu army, Langya suffered a lot of losses.

The first expedition of the Roman legion's general Varus in the Overworld was the Wu army.

The Wu army was not good at fighting in the plains, so it could only attack the hilly areas of Xuzhou and Qingzhou.

Xie Xuan's Beifu Army sat in Xihai County to contain the forces of Langya State.

Langya is the most important county of Chutian, and the eastern part of Langya is occupied, which can contain a large number of Chutian's troops.

Xie Xuan commanded 10,000 Beifu troops and 20,000 low-level archers to intercept the Roman legions in the mountain roads of Xihai County.

A big battle broke out between the Roman legions and the Beifu army in the eastern part of Langya Kingdom!

"Apollo Legion, attack!"

Varus drew his sword and pointed straight ahead.

The eagle flag of the Roman legion waved, and the neat Roman heavy infantry held spears and attacked the Beifu army step by step!

Xie Xuan wore a white cloak and rode a white horse to supervise the battle, and the Beifu army simply blocked the Roman legions!

The Beifu army occupied the terrain and blocked the exit of the mountain road, and the Roman legions could not attack in a hurry.

"The Apollo Legion retreats and is replaced by the Legion of Doom."

Varus frowned and had to rotate his legions before attacking the Beifu Army.

After the Apollo legion retreated, the Roman eagle banner triggered the protection effect of Apollo, and the morale, physical strength, and injuries of the entire legion quickly recovered.

The fifteenth Apollo legion of the Roman Empire had the ability to "recover" and had a strong ability to sustain combat.

However, Varus was unable to win in the face of the Beifu army, because the Beifu army was the strongest legion in the Eastern Jin Dynasty and was not inferior to the Roman legions.

In the Battle of Weishui, tens of thousands of Beifu troops defeated Fu Jian's more than 200,000 former troops and turned to the offensive.

Xie Xuan, as the founder of the Beifu Army, is the most suitable for the Beifu Army, which has greatly increased the combat power of the Beifu Army.

Chen Qingzhi's white-robed army, Ran Min's beggar army, and Murong Ke's chain of horses, these are all elite legions during the Northern and Southern Dynasties!

If Caesar, Octavian and others were in command of the Roman legions, the Roman legions could burst out with more powerful combat power than when Valus was in command. Varus was still slightly inferior.

"King Xia really has a Western army. Liu Gaozhi, break it! ”

Xie Xuan asked Liu Gaozhi, the fierce general of the Beifu Army, to go into battle.

"Yes!"

Liu Gaozhi's face was purple, brave and majestic, commanding a group of officers of the Beifu Army, with 3,000 elites of the Beifu Army, slamming the 17th Doom Legion of the Roman Empire!

Liu Gaozhi held the sword and the shield, cut into the Doom Legion, and defeated the Doom Legion!

As the name suggests, the Legion of Doom was unlucky and retreated, while the Apollo Legion, which had recovered in time, supported the Legion of Doom.

Liu Gaoyi fought with more than 60 Roman heavy infantry, and only then did he retreat when he saw the hoplites of the Apollo legion arrive.

"The legions of the East are so terrifying."

Varus's luck was not good, and in his first campaign in the East, he encountered the Beifu Army, one of the most powerful legions of the Han Empire.

The Xuanjia Army, the Zhongxiao Army, the Cowardly Xue Army, and the Tiger Ben Army, although they are more elite, do not belong to large-scale legions, Wei Wushu, Qin Ruishi, and Beifu Army, like the Roman legions, belong to large legions with tens of thousands, or even 100,000 troops.

Varus encountered the Beifu Army personally commanded by Xie Xuan and Liu Gaozhi, and suffered the first defeat.

Varus counted the losses of the two Roman legions, the Apollo legion lost 700 men, and the doom legion 1,800, and the doom legion suffered far more heavy losses than the Apollo legion.

"King Xia sent the Divine Machine Battalion to help!"

Varus was blocked by the Beifu army and could not break through, so Chutian had to dispatch the Shenji battalion and the Roman legions to try to break through the defense line of the Beifu army.

Varus finally breathed a sigh of relief, otherwise he would not be able to defeat Xie Xuan even if he handed over the two Roman legions here.

According to Chutian's calculations, as a strong army in the Eastern Jin Dynasty and the founder of the Beifu Army, Xie Xuan should be an emperor-level commander, so Tongque will rest assured that he will send the Beifu Army to occupy the eastern part of Langya Kingdom and contain the main force of the Xia Army.

Jiaozhou Bay in Qingzhou was also occupied by the Wu army, and Zhou Yu set fire to the walls of a city, and the defenders surrendered to Zhou Yu.

Zhou Yu's fire attack has a high bonus, and the destructive power is unimaginable.

After capturing Jiaozhou Bay, Tongque recalled Zhou Yu and went to attack Huang County, the seat of Donglai County.

"The stronghold of the Fubo army is in Huang County, as long as we occupy Huang County and destroy the Fubo army, we will be invincible in the East China Sea."

Tongque is not satisfied with taking the coastal areas of Langya and Beihai Kingdom, if the goal becomes the annihilation of the Fubo army.

The Fubo Army is undoubtedly a huge threat to the Jiangdong Naval Division.

Zhou Yu led the sailors to board the ship.

During the Three Kingdoms period, Zhou Yu's "Vulcan" ability had a limit to what he could do, and he could basically only be active in the Yangtze River, but in "Lord", there was more room for fire attack than just the Yangtze River.

The battlefield of "Lord" can be the Yangtze River, the East China Sea, or the Four Oceans!

Therefore, Zhou Yu and Lu Xun's fire attack abilities are actually quite versatile.

Thousands of warships sailed towards Huangxian, splitting the wind and waves, and huge ships entered the Yellow Sea from the East China Sea.

In order to give full play to Zhou Yu and Lu Xun's fire attack ability, Tongque specially brought two hundred small fire attack ships.

As long as the fire attack is successful, then any sailor will be defeated by the Jiangdong sailor.

In Xia Cheng, Chu Tian fell into deep thought in his study, and he was deciding whether he should mobilize the Fubo Army to face the Jiangdong Naval Division.

When the Fubo army attacked Goryeo, it lost tens of thousands of people, as well as more than 200,000 soldiers and horses, and the losses of warships were negligible.

According to the strength of the army on paper, the Fubo Army and the Jiangdong Naval Division have the strength to fight.

However, only a year has passed since the expansion of the Fubo Army, and there is a huge difference in rank from the Jiangdong Naval Division.

"Maybe we should have a little more ......"

Chu Tian hesitated again and again and decided to order the Fubo army to avoid the Jiangdong Naval Division.

The Fubo Army is the only corps that can target the Jiangdong Naval Division, and in case the Fubo Army is destroyed by the Jiangdong Naval Division, then the Jiangdong Naval Division has no opponents at all on the coast.

"Order the Fubo army to retreat to Liaodong and avoid the Jiangdong Naval Division. Build a high-level shipyard in Liaodong and expand the Fubo army to 400,000. ”

Chu Tian deeply felt the terrible Jiangdong Naval Division, so he repeatedly expanded the Fubo Army, from the original 120,000 to 300,000, and then to 400,000, with five naval division generals, each in charge of 80,000 soldiers and horses, and 700 large and small warships.

Regarding the plundering of the Jiangdong Army along the coast, Chutian chose to forbear it for the time being.

As for several important cities along the coast, they were heavily guarded by hoarding troops.

"Then order Cao Cao's Hebei army to enter Jianghuai, build warships in Guangling County, make a trend of sneak attack on Jianye City, and put pressure on Jiangdong."
