"Is the prince dissatisfied with the current war situation?"

Bai Nanyu looked down at Huo Quai, who was pillowing in front of her, her eyes slightly closed.

"The Romans who confronted Zhao Ponu took the initiative to retreat, which shows that they still have a backhand, and they are sure of victory if they abandon the landing of the Soya Corridor."

Huo Quzhi said: "It's not sure about their hole cards yet. ”

Bai Nanyu said softly: "But last night we won a great victory, defeating the conspiracy of the Egyptians and the Romans.

In the battle, we took the initiative overnight, sabotaging their intentions to kill from the Sawa corridor. ”

"It's just a few local encounters, but it's not a big win.

At most, it was only their first stage of combat goals, which were destroyed by us. ”

The corners of Huo Quzhi's mouth were slightly raised, and when Bai Nanyu, who lowered his head and spoke, saw it, he also laughed and lowered his head and leaned forward.

At this moment, a light cough came from outside the hall.

Bai Nanyu reflexively pushed Huo Quzhi up, pretended to be nothing, and turned around to sort out the marching map on the low seat.

"It's just a good time for you to come." Huo Quzhi looked at Song Ran.

Song Ran, who was mediocre, said: "Her Royal Highness the princess has explained, but I don't dare to come late." ”

"There was news from our embroidery that there was another Egyptian army last night, which went north by boat along the coastline, ready to attack Macedonia, but it should have received the news that another Egyptian team was defeated by us, and temporarily retreated and left, and did not really land in Macedonia."

Huo Quai: "Prince Lega of Macedonia, Avti and others, and Utis left Ctesiphon on their front and back feet, where are they now?" ”

"Just returned to Macedonia."

"Ordered them to use all the Macedonian sea ships to go to sea to join Zhao Anji, Utis and others."

"In addition, let Xiuyi explore the movements of the Romans along the sea."

Song Ran agreed and glanced at Bai Nanyu.

This woman is really a fox, is it amazing that she is round and round?

In the palace, waiting for Song Ran to retreat, Bai Nanyu asked Huo Quai: "The prince has a new plan to use troops." ”

Huo Quzhi said: "Go to the army to fight, fight fast and slow, and see who can take the strategic initiative first." The Romans must have wanted to use surprise soldiers on the frontal battlefield.

But I'm not going to give them a chance to expand. ”

Huo Qubing once again used the power of a demi-saint to push the other side to watch the fire.

In the void in front of him, ships appeared like clouds and mist.

It's a Mediterranean-style ship that is upturned and backward, somewhat like a narrow leaf shape.

The sea was rough, and the ship was full of Egyptian tribesmen.

They are exactly what Song Ran said, the team that was originally preparing to attack Macedonia and took the initiative to retreat.

Since they showed their traces on the sea south of Macedonia, Huo Quai's cultivation and military strategy were supernatural, tracing their traces, observing the battle situation, and they were able to find their traces.

……

On another side of the Mediterranean, Zhao Anji and Utis stood at the bow of a ship.

Beside the two, there is also a person under the command of embroidered clothes.

The man wore a hood, and on his outstretched arm, an eagle flapped its wings and flew into the depths of the sea.

"The prince has just sent an order for us to continue to block the opposing convoy, and has given the approximate location of the Egyptians to evacuate from the sea. Your eagle search skills can distinguish between friend and foe and find the right target? Zhao Anji was a little uneasy, and asked the embroidery staff beside him.

In the early days, embroidery was used to train all kinds of birds and finches to convey messages.

There are not a few good bird trainers under his command.

"Zhonglang will rest assured that between this eagle and me, there is a secret technique that can share the perspective, and there will be no mistakes."

A quarter of an hour later, the Eagle sent back the news that the location of the Egyptian flotilla had been identified.

Zhao Anji and the others immediately forced the other party.

In the days that followed, the situation between us and the enemy continued to change.

In the Seleuc territory of the frontal battlefield, the Evil King of Hun and his men fought with the Fifth Legion in a series of battles.

A contingent of the Third Roman Legion also showed signs and appeared in Seleuc.

Zhang Cigong then led his troops to engage the Third Army Corps.

At sea, Prince Lega, who returned to Macedonia, used the Macedonian fleet to go to sea to join the soldiers and horses of Zhao Anji and Utis.

After the two sides joined forces, they sailed south with all their might.

The Han army Zhao Ponu Division, along the Soya Promenade on the eastern shore of the Mediterranean, was also marching south, and the soldiers and horses commanded by the Egyptian Golden Horus to the north confronted each other.

And Zhao Anji, Utis, sailed along the coastline for several days and slowly approached their destination.

Mid-September.

The ships seized by the Han army, together with the fleet that had joined the Macedonians, appeared at sea dozens of miles north of Alexandria.

On one of the handsome ships with the clamming horns of the god statue and a length of nearly fifteen zhang, Prince Lega, Zhao Anji and others were standing on the deck.

It was not long ago that Aphti and Prince Lega learned the true intention of the Han army, which was to attack Alexander:

"You're coming to fight the capital of Egypt?"

Avti looked shocked: "I thought that the purpose of sailing south was to assist the soldiers and horses on the shore and prevent the Egyptians from going north. ”

Prince Lega frowned and said, "It's never a good time to fight Alexander at this time.

Alexandria, where the best army of Egypt gathered, Pharaoh's personal guard. ”

The Macedonians never thought that the purpose of the Han army was Alexander, and they wanted to suffocate the Egyptian pharaoh with a stick.

From the point of view of the Macedonians, this is an operation that cannot be successful.

And the consequence of defeat will be the total annihilation of the army.

"General Zhao, you may not know much about Egypt."

"Egypt's standing army has 200,000 elites, and although you have defeated more than 30,000 of their troops, it is far from enough to shake the overall strength of Egypt."

Prince Lega tried his best to dissuade him.

If they really want to land in Alexandria, the capital of Egypt, where the Han army is defeated, they will also die.

"The order was given by the prince himself, not to discuss with you, the part you are responsible for is to carry it out."

Zhao Anji squinted his eyes and said: "Secondly, this is a port city, and in order to open up trade, ships come and go by sea. This kind of city is destined to be impossible to defend on all fronts, and it is not as difficult to enter as you think! ”

Prince Lega's heart sank to his stomach, and he felt his hands and feet cold: "General Zhao is right, this is a port city.

But Egypt's most elite army is also here.

As far as I know, the Pharaoh of Egypt always put his own safety above all else, and he never left his side wherever he went. His personal guards alone numbered 70,000.

If the prince leads a large army over, there is still a possibility of breaking the enemy.

But at the moment, we only have more than 20,000 people, and we are still coalition troops. ”

Macedonia is also at war at the moment, and its soldiers are not rich.

Only 3,000 men came, and they were mainly responsible for steering the ships.

One of the Han troops was taken away by the Fulu Branch, and on the shore, less than 20,000 troops were traveling with the ship.

As we all know, multi-party armies are generally weaker in combat effectiveness.

Prince Lega, Aphti's worries are for a reason.

However, Zhao Anji didn't pay attention to the worries of the two at all, and waved his hand: "Order the team to move forward and land fifty miles east of Alexandria, without hiding your whereabouts, let the Egyptians know that we are coming, and wait for them to take the initiative to attack!" ”

Inside Alexandria.

Pharaoh Ptolemy VIII, received the news a long time ago.

He was staring at a mirror that looked like it was made of gold.

The pale golden glow on the surface of the mirror swelled, and from time to time ancient Egyptian incantations emerged.

When the Han army and the Macedonian fleet entered Alexandria within a hundred miles, Pharaoh discovered the traces of the Han army through this treasure mirror called the Eye of Horus.

Ptolemy VIII was furious.

The Han army dared to storm the royal capital of Egypt.

This is the greatest affront and contempt for Egypt and for him, the pharaoh.

In a fit of rage, Ptolemy VIII's voice was calm, and he said:

"Iprahim Hadgem!"

Inside the main hall, a bald-headed, swarthy general, with black and gold ring-like ornaments on his arms, lined up with the pharaoh's voice.

He was a famous warrior in Egypt.

Iprasin's name, for generations, was the guardian of the pharaohs, the most powerful pro-army leader.

"Go and lead my guards against the Han Chinese who dare to offend me in Egypt, and ...... them Annihilation! "Ptolemy VIII clenched the scepter, and his knuckles turned white.

The other party came to attack his national capital, and he saw the Han army's outright contempt for him, so he left the anger.

"The other party is here, which means that the judgment of the great elder is correct."

In the hall, there were two other people sitting in the guest seats, like Ptolemy VIII.

One of them turned out to be Leon, the Roman consul.

There was also an old man in the shape of an ordinary person, wearing a white robe.

He was the senator of the Senate in charge of war, the third in line among the elders of the Senate, and was born into a noble family in Rome, Augustus.

The consuls are also from their family.

"The purpose of the Han army has long been seen through by our consuls, and they want to attack the royal city of Egypt out of strategic considerations. If we can occupy Alexandria, we will be able to use it to land and attack the whole of our Rome from the sea.

Gain the real initiative in the battle situation. ”

The Three Patriarchs, Augustus Lake, said: "But his intentions were discovered by the consuls in advance, and the consuls were willing to come in person to help Egypt defeat the Han army, what else did the pharaoh have to worry about?" ”

Ptolemy VIII said coldly: "I am not worried, but simply angry.

How dare he be so arrogant that even the gods would be angry at him for his ignorance. ”

Leon chuckled, "Then defeat the Han army, kill the commander of the Han army, and appease the wrath of the gods." ”

Ptolemy VIII asked, "I heard that the commander of the Han army was very strong, and the consul was sure to deal with him?" ”

"In three to five months, I will defeat the Han army in Parthia, and the commander of the Han army will also be defeated and killed in the process."

Leon took a moment to say, "Perhaps, tonight, he will die." ”

Ptolemy VIII's heart fluttered: "What does the consul mean by this?" ”

"We'll find out tonight." Lyon looked in the direction of the Parthian border to the north.

————

The sun was setting and the sky was dark.

Ctesiphon, royal palace.

In the bedroom of the apse, Bai Nanyu was helping Huo to go to the buckle of the sick department: "Is it necessary for the prince to go in person?" ”

"On the frontal battlefield, the Romans and we seem to be fighting very well, but in fact we are not using all our strength.

Alexandria, Egypt, was very crucial for the entire war. If you can capture Alexander, you will gain the initiative in the whole battle. ”

The Romans would not fail to see this, Zhao Anji and others seized the ship and went south, and the strategic intention was actually obvious.

I guess the Romans will also have arrangements in Alexandria, combined with Egypt's own soldiers and horses, I have to go and see it for myself to be assured. ”

"On the frontal battlefield, I will only go for one night and come back tomorrow morning, and there will be no major changes. Stay in Ctesiphon, and don't leave the palace. ”

Huo Qu came to the window after talking about illness, and appeared in the sky with a single step.

Bai Nanyu looked out of the window, but saw that the figure in silver armor and red robe quickly became smaller, and finally disappeared into the clouds.

Huo Quzhi's trip this time was different from any previous one.

He unfolded the true power of the demi-saint level, and released the talisman to help.

The five dragons of the Sheng God Method, the five green dragons turned into yang gods, and appeared in the clouds at the same time.

These five dragon yang gods manifested, affecting the celestial phenomena, and on the scales around the body, lightning moved.

Knowing the military book in the sea, and under the impetus of the soldiers, the five green dragons have the breath of the soldiers into the body, and the dragon chanted in the sky.

Underneath them, a huge military formation formed.

The five dragons threw themselves into the military array, their bodies disappeared, and a huge green dragon flew out of the military array, spanning the void, with a majestic body of more than three hundred zhang.

When Huo Quzhi stood on the faucet.

The void exploded with a bolt of lightning, and the five dragons became a green dragon, turning into a flash of lightning and flying southward.

Along the way, thunder and lightning staggered across the night sky, like a war spear thrown by the gods, illuminating the mountains and rivers.

The lightning flew rampantly towards Egypt in an instant.

Near midnight, the green dragon appeared in the clouds, and the mighty dragon head poked out from the night sky, looking down below.

Outside Alexandria, Egypt, the Han army is approaching the city!
