Chapter 587: If It's Not a Trump, We Don't Play [Asking for Votes]
The weather was hazy.
On the west bank of the Nile in Egypt was Thebes, the capital of their many dynasties.
The Valley of the Kings is located in a deserted limestone gorge not far from Thebes.
The Valley of the Kings was the place where the pharaohs were buried during the New Kingdom of Egypt (1570 BC ~ 1090 BC).
Legend has it that this is the place where life and death come and go.
The pharaoh is buried here and will return here.
At this time, outside the Valley of the Kings, a large number of expelled slaves appeared.
Because the new pharaoh of Egypt ascended to the throne, the remnants of the old pharaoh Mithridates and those who were involved in him were uprooted and reduced to sinners and slaves.
Tens of thousands of people were sent here.
The fairy concubine has been in operation in Egypt for a hundred years, and there is a temple here that is the decoration she once left behind.
The Grand Patriarch ordered the new pharaoh of Egypt to drive a large number of Egyptian slaves, ordinary people, sinners, and the old tribes of Mithridates into the temple.
Panic is spreading among the slaves.
For the temple is capable of eating people, but the slaves who go in never come out again.
The temple, which looks like a small area, seems to be connected to the underworld, and tens of thousands of people enter it, and there is still no wave.
The entrance to the temple of the Black Hole is like a vicious beast devouring human life!
Rome.
The northwestern province of Gaul continued northward, and after the capture of the defeated Germanic peoples, a large number of people mysteriously disappeared and disappeared.
And the Great Patriarch appeared here.
He held the bronze mirror in his hand and examined the scene in the mirror.
In the mirror, the defeated Germanic people and the vanished Egyptians appeared.
They were stacked on top of each other, beheaded, and the blood pooled like a river, and the red was blinding.
"The sacrifice that induces the tide of soldiers has begun."
"These Germans, Egyptians, are strong. There are also many divine power cultivators among them, who are the best sacrifices to the tide of soldiers.
Coupled with the essence blood pool obtained from the coffin of the West King, the early stage of the military tide can be formed quickly. ”
The face of the fairy concubine appeared in the mirror, and said to the great elder:
"Huo Qubing opened the coffin where Xizu was buried, and he is studying the taboos of our clan."
"What progress has been made in attacking the Han army under your command?"
"The port of Macedonia has been conquered by the First Roman Legion."
"When the tide of troops is induced, you can attack the Han land from the east and west ends, and the Han will collapse!"
"Back then, in order to cope with the tide of soldiers, the Qin people filled in millions of generals to see how the Han resisted." The elder said with compassion.
After the fairy concubine ended her contact with the eldest elder, the bronze mirror in her hand changed in formation, changed the direction of the communication, and spoke again: "Your Majesty, how are you thinking about it?" ”
……
Port of Macedonia at sunset.
Nysa, the commander of the First Legion, was covered in blood and stood on the walls of the harbor, the air filled with a thick smell of blood.
In the past few days, the first Roman legion and the two elite armies of the Temple Army attacked Macedonia.
The two sides engaged in a fierce confrontation here.
To the surprise of the Romans, the Macedonian defenders fought resolutely and fiercely.
The port was lost that night and was captured by the Romans.
But the next day, a large number of Macedonian defenders, as well as some Han troops, arrived to reinforce them, and drove the Romans out and recaptured the port.
It was not until the commander of the First Army, Nysa, personally led his troops into the battle that the Romans were able to secure their victory.
And Nisa is worthy of being a famous Roman general, and while dealing with the Macedonians, he predicted that Zhao Ponu would command the troops nearby and rush to reinforcements.
He arranged a team in advance to intercept Zhao Ponu's troops.
After several days of fierce fighting, the port of Macedonia was finally captured by the Romans.
At the head of a city near the port, Nissa stood with a sword in his hand, looking out over Macedonia in the distance and Parthia further east.
It is crucial to take this port and get the best landing point at sea.
From here, the Roman army could drive straight in, flexibly adjust the direction, and choose the line of defense held by the Han army.
The Egyptians could also land from this port and fight together.
In the war situation, Rome will use this as a turning point to regain its advantage.
Follow-up reinforcements and supplies can be transported by ship from the sea.
If the Han army loses the port of Macedonia, it will lose the only port of entry into the sea, and thus lose the qualification to compete with Rome at sea.
Making the Roman army more agile was tantamount to revitalizing the entire battle situation.
Great Elder, Nissa is very accurate.
The city below Nissa was full of Macedonians who had been hanged, and there were also a small number of Han troops who came to reinforce them, who were captured and beheaded.
This was a common method used by Rome to deter opponents.
"The current state authority in Macedonia is in the hands of Prince Menon Lega, who is supported by the Han Chinese.
Our people went to contact the son of the former lord to support him in overthrowing Lega within Macedonia, but there was a response? ”
Beside Nisa, an apostle of the temple wearing a black hood, said:
"The eldest son of Perseus, the former ruler of Macedonia, was a mediocre man who hated us for designing to kill his father, and could not resist wanting our support to ascend to the throne. At the same time, he was also afraid of the Han army and was still thinking about it. ”
Nissa chuckled, "Many things have been met with failure in the midst of hesitation and waiting. ”
"Fortunately, the port of Macedonia has fallen into our hands, and the order is to go down, and tonight the soldiers and horses will be divided into two ways.
All the way, I personally led the army to advance to the capital of Macedonia. The other route, led by Grant, went east into the mountains of southern Parthia, where the terrain was difficult and could contain and disrupt the Han army's defensive line! ”
"In half a month, I will ascend to the head of the royal capital of Macedonia."
Nissa then asked, "Where is the Elder and the Archon now?" ”
"The whereabouts of the Grand Elder are unknown."
"The consuls were in Gaul, and after the fledging of the sons of the chieftains of the Samanic tribes, they joined several tribes and tried to counterattack. The consul was a little uneasy and went in person. ”
Nissa nodded: "Soon, we will set foot on the land of the Han people. ”
……
Huo Quzhi went all the way west.
He left Chang'an this time, and he didn't go fast.
He didn't ride a horse and didn't lead an army. Instead, he traveled west on foot to measure the land of China.
Sometimes, they will enter the counties along the way, pass through the city, and watch the life of Hermes-Epitek today.
The day after leaving Chang'an, he came to the Hexi Corridor, entered the Western Regions on the third day, and arrived in the territory of the Dayue clan on the fourth day.
Jin'an trotted all the way to follow him, and there was a pair of figures, a big cat and a fat tiger.
The two woke up after Huo Quai's departure from Chang'an, and they were in good spirits.
The outside of the big cat's body seems to have an extra layer of breath, and the coat color is as bright as satin.
It often looks back in the direction of Chang'an, and regrets waking up late, if it is still in Chang'an, it will be beautiful.
The big cat flicked its tail and squinted its head at 45 degrees to see the sky.
We have the power of a cat now, how many female cats I can't control?
After waking up, the fat tiger was as strong as a calf, and he ran thousands of miles with Jin'an, and he didn't feel tired.
There are Bai Nanyu and Xiong San accompanying him in the Divine Mansion.
It took five days for Huo Qu to be sick before he entered Parthia.
He did not rush to Adlihya or Macedonia to confront the Romans.
He entered Parthia and then went southwest into the Mediterranean.
The last time they fought against Rome, there was a Han army, led by Zhao Anji and the Fulu Branch, which appeared in the sea between Carthage and the Golden Basin.
At that time, the Grand Patriarch discovered the traces of the Han army's fleet and sent the Second Army to stop the Han army.
But as soon as the 2nd Army Corps reached the area of operations, the ranks of the Han army retreated and disappeared.
In fact, it was a reconnaissance, a rehearsal for the use of troops to find a landing site.
Of course, if the opportunity is right, it will also directly land and attack Carthage, the important place of Rome.
Since it was discovered, it was changed to contain it to attract the attention of the Romans.
This time, before Huo Quai's departure, Zhao Anji and others had already received the order to lead an elite army to advance by sea along the route of the last time, and wait in the Golden Basin, that is, Moon Bay in the northern waters of Sicily.
Huo Quzhi is not in a hurry, but is cooperating with this team in time.
When the fleet of the Han army disappeared and arrived at the established location.
That night, Huo Quai's illness fell from the sky and landed on the bow of the ship where the Han army was.
"Da Sima!"
Chen Qing, Zhao Anji, and the leaders of the champion guard, who came a few days before Huo Quai, knelt on one knee at the bow of the ship.
"Have you ever found out the enemy's movements?"
"The embroiderers have been investigating the situation in Rome since the beginning of the war, and have now roughly figured out the distribution of the main armies in Rome!"
"Their first legion, the Templar Army, is storming Macedonia.
The area from the Golden Basin to the Roman royal city was garrisoned by the Second Legion. ”
"The commander of the Second Legion, Marius Neus Gogulie, forty-five years old, was known in Rome as the wall of the earth, and described it as strong and unshakable."
Zhao Anji licked the dog casually: "But when his tenacity meets Da Sima, it will be broken with a poke." ”
"The top three legions of Rome, as well as the Temple Army of the Senate, the pro-army of the Consuls, the Roman Shield, are their five trump cards."
"It's not a trump card, we don't play it."
Huo Quzhi said indifferently: "Landing on the shore and marching north." Give the Romans a lesson of their country, and the First World War will break their backbones and make them remember it for a lifetime. ”
From Zhao Anji and Chen Qing downwards, the whole army was orderly and quickly landed ashore.
Huo Quai, with the respect of a soldier and a half-saint, personally led the troops, and the miraculous marching method unfolded, which was really without a trace, invisible and traceless.
A team of 3,000 champion guards and 2,000 elite soldiers marched northwest from the northern tip of Sicily, piercing the heart of Rome.
Midnight.
Outside the south gate of the city of Rome, a Han army emerged from the night.
Huo Qubing rode Jin'an, and advanced to the city gate in small steps.
When he arrived at the city gate, Huo Quai's power was transmitted to Jin'an from under his body.
After today's peace, the hooves support the ground, and the ground cracks silently. It raised its front hooves and stomped on the gates.
Under the terrifying power of the demi-saints, the city gate collapsed like flying ashes, and countless formations on the surrounding city walls were broken.
Huo Quzhi had come to the Roman royal city once before with the shadow.
At that time, there was also a purpose of exploration.
Rome's long heritage is one thing, and being controlled by the fairy concubines and the patriarchate is another.
As a result, their top-level combat power and escort force are very strong. If there was a rush war at that time and the decapitation strategy was implemented, it would be difficult to achieve decisive results.
Therefore, after several tug-of-wars, the Han army accumulated advantages, but it has not played the mythical record of winning the battle in the past and breaking the country again.
Until now, Huo Qubing has entered the second realm of the half-saint.
His strength has risen again and he has entered a new phase.
The time is ripe!
His command of the army this time was to bring a devastating blow to Rome and destroy the foundation of Rome.
You must know that Rome was a parliamentary situation, and the aristocratic forces jointly controlled the political system of the country.
When their core, the Roman royal capital, multiple ancient nobles were captured and even beheaded by the storm. The forces under the control of each family will immediately fall into the verge of collapse without subordination to each other.
The whole of Rome will be a mess because of this!
This is the strategic significance of attacking the Roman royal capital at this time, not just a simple matter of breaking a royal city on the surface!
"All the generals are brave, the golden age is just around the corner.
In the past, we destroyed cities and destroyed countless enemies. ”
Before Huo Quzhi entered the city, he said solemnly: "Now, our soldiers are coming to Rome, I should use the blood of my generation to defend the prosperity of our Han Dynasty, and use my soldiers to cast the invincibility of the Han army!" ”
"We are willing to follow the Great Sima, fight thousands of miles, break through hundreds of countries, make the enemy famous and fearful, and the Han army is undefeated!"
The momentum of the army is like a rainbow!
Two thousand forbidden troops, three thousand champion guards, swept into the city like a storm.
Boom –
The sound of hooves shook the 600-year-old streets of Rome!
The twelve great council families of Rome in the city, on this night, all the members woke up from their dreams!
When the next morning arrives, a new battle will shock the whole of Rome!
