Chapter 559: The King of the Han Army [Asking for Votes]
Judging from the topographical map, the Han army had passed through Asia Minor.
The Roman province of Thrace was officially within the range of the Han army.
To the west of Adlihya, including a large area to the south, was the historical frontier of the Macedonians.
After they were driven away, they were occupied by Rome.
Ptolemy VIII was killed, and it was theoretically possible for Rome to reach the Han army's control area by sea, or from the northeastern corner of Egypt through the Sinai Peninsula.
But as soon as the sea route came, Macedonia stood in the way.
Moreover, Ptolemy VIII had been in power in Egypt for many years, and although the elder had killed him, it was not so simple to regain control of a country.
With the excesses of power alone, it is not easy for the new pharaoh to take control of the situation.
For a long time, Egypt would not have the strength to provide strong support to Rome.
In a practical sense, Han had almost achieved the advantage of an all-out attack.
After this battle, Rome needed to defend in an all-round way to resist the follow-up offensive of the Han army.
What's more, the Germanic people were still fighting in the province of Gaul in the northwestern corner of their borders.
The first Roman legion was there, which shows that the Germanic tribes were not so easy to deal with.
Huo Quzhi stared at the map, the corners of his mouth slightly raised.
A smile appeared on his cold face, especially bright, with bright and sharp eyes, and a heroic nose.
Bai Nanyu closed her watery peach blossom eyes, looked at Huo Quai, and smiled.
She had arrived early in the morning from Ctesiphon in the east and entered the Adlician Fortress.
The morning sun shone into the temple through the narrow windows of the military fortress.
Built for military purposes, the fortress resembles a huge castle and is full of the charm of Western classical architecture, with cone-shaped building sharp corners undulating like war spears pointing at the sky.
The main body of the military fortress has a high foundation and stands on a cliff, and the blue-gray city wall is built along the cliff wall, and the windows are smaller than normal buildings.
The sunlight shone in, and the light in the main hall with a huge stone barrier was a little dim.
However, because of Bai Nanyu's existence, there is a different kind of brightness.
Outside the palace, the generals and soldiers of the Han army were counting the prisoners and thoroughly inspecting the entire military fortress.
But there were only two people in the temple.
Bai Nanyu is wearing a silver-white palace dress, with exquisite makeup, a plain ribbon at the waist, a willow waist in a hand, graceful and slender, her head is tied to the stars and the moon is in a bun, her eyebrows are like spring mountains, her skin is like porcelain enamel, she is curling and tingting, and she is charming and boneless.
The so-called brocade clothes are elegant and smart, and the long wind and jade stand in the room, which is for the goddess.
Bai Nanyu's brocade dress will remind people of the beautiful sentence of 'the brilliance of the cloth, the brilliance of the Yaobi'.
Huo Quzhi's gaze turned to her and beckoned.
Bai Nanyu's skirt was flying, and the lotus step moved lightly to the nearest place, committed to kneeling and sitting, and asked in a whisper with a fragrant orchid: "Will anyone come in?" β
"What do you want to do?"
Huo Quzhi smiled: "Yao Zhao told everyone that I was resting, and no one would come to disturb me." β
Bai Nanyu happily threw herself into her arms, reached out to wrap her arms around his neck, pursed her red lips, and leaned forward.
After a moment, he retracted his lips and hissed...... Bai Nanyu pursed her lips, as if she was quite aftertaste, and her eyes were charming and smart.
"Why do I feel like you're tempting me?" Huo Quzhi blinked.
Bai Nanyu snorted, her nasal voice was soft and glutinous: "It's not a feeling, it's just teasing the prince." He lowered his voice and said: "Song Ran contacted the person who embroidered the clothes, and he was dealing with things, and after I heard it, I ran to the military fortress to find the prince." β
This goblin has an innate ability to charm people.
Huo Qu was very happy and adjusted his hand.
The female goblin suddenly overflowed with charm and enchantment.
β¦β¦
"Sickness, you indirectly used a plan in three days, feinted defeat and lured the enemy, and then completely annihilated the Roman legions, and then blitzed and captured the Roman fortress, where the terrain I have seen, it is really important, and it can be called a great victory."
The concentric lotus leaves fluctuated, and the emperor's voice was heard.
Bai Nanyu woke up from her trance, met Huo Qu's teasing eyes, her face was crimson, and her steps seemed to be a little unsteady when she got up.
"What are your plans for the future?"
"Eat the Roman Fourth Army first, then sweep west of Adlicia and stabilize its momentum.
Internally, it is necessary to adjust and settle Macedonia, and then it can fully attack Rome. β
"In addition, the minister intends to support the Germans and let them harass Rome to buy us time to adjust the layout."
"It's up to you to decide how to use troops on the front line."
The emperor's voice: "Now that the original Parthian border is unshakable, Master Dong asked me to ask if it is possible to sacrifice to heaven and earth, divide Parthia into thirty-one counties, and enter the border of my Han Dynasty." β
His Majesty himself was anxious to classify Parthia into the Han Dynasty and improve the fortunes of the country, but he didn't say anything and let Master Dong take the blame...... Huo Quzhi said amusedly:
"Absolutely."
Then he asked rhetorically: "How is the progress of the operation to land on Yamato Island in the East China Sea?" β
Emperor: "Li Guang, Li Kang and his son landed on Yamato Island late at night two days ago.
They don't march as fast as you do, they can't fight your kind of blitzkrieg, and they're still hiding deep on the island, and they're progressing fairly well as expected. β
After chatting with the emperor for a few words, after stopping contact, he contacted and talked with his wife and concubine for a while.
β¦β¦
A plateau five hundred miles west of the capital of Macedonia.
The commander of the Fourth Roman Army, Roglisin, dressed in general armor, with a rectangular face and slender eyes, looked at the terrain ahead.
He has curly dark brown hair and a horizontal scar on the bridge of his nose, which makes his face a little gloomy.
He led the Fourth Army to attack the Macedonian capital last night, and when the signal came from the troops entering the city, he would cooperate in launching a strong attack and fully capture Macedonia.
However, no news came from the troops, and it was not until dawn that some of the soldiers and horses withdrew and informed them that the operation had failed.
Then he received an order from the elder to let Rolisin lead his troops overnight and go west along the road, preparing to evacuate by sea.
Huo Quai's repeated use of troops, a series of blows, led to the change of the battle situation too quickly.
In just a few days, the Han army defeated the Roman legions, and after occupying Adlichia, they completely cut off the retreat of the Fourth Legion.
They could only withdraw by sea.
Fortunately, Rome had long controlled the surrounding area, and there were garrisons on many islands in the Aegean Sea, which could quickly send ships to meet them.
However, the speed at which the Han army sent troops to pursue was faster than Ralisin expected.
In the afternoon, the sky was a little overcast.
The more than 20,000 Roman elites led by Luo Lixin were chased by Zhao Ponu's department on the way to the west.
Zhang Cigongbu also approached rapidly from the northeast.
At the moment of life and death, until the arrival of reinforcements, you can only rely on yourself.
Rallisin ordered his troops, soldiers and horses to line up, keep the queue on the move, and be ready to engage at any time.
Being able to maintain combat capability when moving and retreating has already shown its elite.
All his men held shields and spears, 5,000 light horsemen, 2,000 heavy horsemen, and the rest were infantry.
In the team, the Macedonian military minister Shuerlius also followed Ralisin with a personal team.
Shuerlius's face was pale, completely devoid of the ferocity he had attacked the lord of a nation last night.
Everything had been calculated before, attacking and killing the lord of the country, and receiving the Romans into the city.
Take control of the situation with the strong support of the Romans.
Moreover, in Macedonia in advance, he contacted some officials who thought that the Romans were strong, and felt that there was a great hope of success, otherwise he would not have acted rashly.
I didn't expect Prince Lega to come back with a team of Han troops.
Prince Lega himself appeared, took over the city's defenses, and with a combined effort, drove out the Roman people who had entered the city.
What was supposed to be a good calculation actually failed.
In the panic, Shuerlius also escaped and became a lost dog.
In the queue, his face turned pale, and he kept urging Luo Lixin to leave quickly.
Luo Lixin said angrily: "The Han army is chasing tightly, no matter how fast, the formation is scattered, and the Han army will kill it, it will be a catastrophe, you and I will die!" β
"What then, what then?"
Schullius's panic and fear grew stronger, and he began to regret what he had done.
Last night, I started to run for my life before dawn, and this retribution came too quickly.
Whewβ
The sound of a wolf howling.
On both sides of the Fourth Roman Legion, traces of the Han light cavalry have appeared.
These Han troops rode their horses and shouted, chasing around the Fourth Corps from afar, but they were besieging but not attacking, like wolves hunting, and they would first continue to haunt the surroundings to deter opponents and create pressure.
If the opponent makes a slight mistake, the wolves will pounce on them and tear the prey to pieces.
More and more Han scouts, light cavalry appeared nearby, surrounding the flanks, eyeing the Roman soldiers in the middle.
The world-famous light cavalry of the Han army is constantly increasing around, more than 1,000 people, 2,000 people, 4,000 people, and tens of thousands of people.
Gradually, even Rolisin felt the pressure.
How could the Han army have so many light cavalry coming!
On the plain ahead, a brigade of cavalry of the Han army appeared.
When the Fourth Army was forced to slow down, the Han army had already made a detour to the front and lined up to intercept it.
The number of main forces of the Han army that appeared surprised Luo Lixin.
At least thirty or forty thousand cavalry, stretched out, how can this battle be fought!
Where did the Han army get so many cavalry?
On the opposite side, the men and horses were dusty, and the Han army killed them head-on.
The earth shook.
The current Han general, holding a war spear, is Zhao Ponu, who is full of fierce breath, years of military experience, and a prosperous soldier.
Suddenly, Rolisin had a sense and looked to the side.
Under a low hill a hundred feet away, a huge horse slowly walked up, and a young man sat on the horse's back.
Huo Qu, the king of the Han army, is sick!
The chill in Ralisin's heart instantly soaked his heart and spleen.
This Eastern commander, who led the Han army and defeated the three major armies in World War I, was already notorious in Rome.
As the thoughts came and went, Luo Lixin saw Huo Quai's illness and raised his hand on the horse.
It was the last image he saw, and his ribcage was pierced.
A spear made out of nothing pierced Ralisin's chest.
He rolled over and fell from his horse.
Shuerlius beside him screamed, and the dead were all gone.
Tens of thousands of light cavalry of the Han army came to intercept it, and the commander of the legion died, and the Han army had just defeated the three integrated legions of Rome not long ago...... Summing up these information, no matter how brave the troops of the Fourth Army were, they also knew that if they continued to fight, they would be the result of the annihilation of the entire army.
"Withdraw! Disperse, disperse and retreat, and those who can survive will assemble on the coast, and a ship will come to meet us. β
The lieutenant yelled after the death of Ralisin.
Scattered retreat is to flee for their lives, live as they can live, and take care of themselves.
The whole army was scattered, and there was no longer the will to fight.
The Han soldiers gathered around laughed.
Huo Qubing stationed his horse on the top of the hill, also showed a slight smile, and easily withdrew the military skills of the grass and trees.
There were not so many Han cavalry who came to pursue, but they combined the situation and used the military skills derived from the strength of the troops, and used a little trick to chill the enemy's courage and weaken their morale, which was more conducive to breaking the enemy.
He personally appeared, killed the commander of the Fourth Army, magnified the fear of his opponents to the extreme, and gave the order for the entire army to flee.
Huo Quzhi stretched out his hand and pointed at the Minister of War Shuerlius, who was running for his life: "Don't let him run." β
Zhao Ponu and others took Huo Quai's words as a holy decree, and the eyes of all the generals almost fell on Shuerlius.
Shuerlius almost ran away, wishing that the horse would grow eight legs.
He beat the horse stocks with all his might, but he still did not escape the pursuit of the Han army.
A quarter of an hour later, he was captured by Zhao Ponu's lieutenant Ji Kuansheng.
When the Han army was chasing and fleeing, Huo Qubing took his relatives and took Shuerlius to the capital of Macedonia in the evening.
Macedonia is related to the coastal defense line of the Han army, and there is a major change in the death of the lord of the country, and Huo Qubing must come and see it.
Shuerlius was tied to the horse, his face was faintly green, as if he had been frightened by the bitter gall, and his body was trembling all the time.
He knew what he was going to face when he was brought back.
The Macedonians would have skinned him.
When Huo Qu's illness arrived, the Macedonian people were already waiting outside the city.
Prince Lega stepped forward quickly.
When his brother, the lord of a country, died, Prince Lega must have felt sad, but not necessarily without a hint of joy.
He hadn't dared to dream of that position, but now the opportunity came.
And whether he can successfully become the lord of Macedonia, the most important thing is not domestic support, but the commander of the Han army in front of him.
As long as Han Shuai is licked well, everything is possible.
With the strength of the Han army, he wanted to support him to ascend to the position of the lord of Macedonia, but he didn't nod when he saw Huo Quai.
You must know that Prince Lega is not without competitors, and the support of Huo Qubing is crucial.
After receiving the news and knowing that Huo Qu's illness was coming, Prince Lega racked his brains to think about how to further close the relationship with the king of the Han army.
He feels that he has some talent in licking people.
This time, I plan to do my best, fight for that position, turn licking power into strength, and lock the throne of the lord of the country.
