Wu Qi and Yue Feibing divided into two routes, from the Rest Empire to the Roman Empire, all the way to the ground, after half a year has penetrated deep into the Balkan Peninsula, ready to attack the Roman Empire's eastern town of Athens.
For a time, the western land was waving flags, the dust was mighty, and thousands of troops and horses were advancing westward like long dragons, with bright swords and guns covering the sky and the sun, and rumbling war horses trampling on the mountains and rivers.
Westerners were frightened, the Han army was in the direction of the front, and the officials of the Roman Empire were invincible, either fleeing or surrendering, and the Han army was like a bamboo, but in half a year, it had occupied half of the eastern part of the Roman Empire and marched towards Athens, an important town in the Balkan Peninsula.
"Haha, this Rome dares to claim that our Han national strength is equal, in my opinion, it is just Liu Biao, Yuan Shu and the like, except for Liu Xiu in Shache City showed strong combat effectiveness, our army is like a devastation everywhere along the way, I think the end of the year can be the banner of the Han can be planted in the head of Rome" When the Han army conquered Roland Castle, Yang Qilang, who had landed in the city first, was full of spirits, standing at the head of the city with a spear in his hand and making bold statements.
Wu Qi stroked his beard and patted his beloved general's shoulder with a smile: "Qilang, the center of gravity of the Roman Empire is in the west, and the east is only a few local warlords, the war has not yet begun, the war has just begun, and there will be a fierce war waiting for you in the future."
Tian Dan next to him also admonished: "The center of gravity of Rome has always been in the west, and the east is the sphere of influence of the princes, so it seems vulnerable."
According to the scout spies, Liu Bang has two great generals, one of them is called Spartacus, and the other is called Luo Shixin, whose martial arts are not under the aid of horses, and it is the time when the fierce battle is coming when they meet them."
When the Han army and the Roman army fought for the first time, Yang Qilang once carried horse reinforcements, and fought with horse reinforcements for more than 100 rounds with a spear in his hand.
But what made Yang Qilang a little puzzled was why, with the addition of Yue Yun, He Yuanqing, Yan Chengfang and other hammer generals, Ma Yuan seemed to be a different person, and instantly beat the five people on his side like chopping melons and vegetables, and killed Di Lei and Yan Chengfang, which is really incredible.
"This horse aid, it does have some ability" Yang Qilang crossed his hands on his hips, looking surprised, "To say that he has good skills, he failed to win the last general in a hundred rounds."
To say that his martial arts are mediocre, but after Yue Yun and Yuan Qing joined the war group, he showed his might, and killed Yan and Di, it is really incomprehensible."
He Yuanqing next to him immediately took over the conversation: "Qilang's words are different, this horse aid's ability is not blown, and you haven't seen it In my opinion, only Li Yuanba can win him in the world."
When fighting alone with you, this guy may deliberately hide his strength, so that we can carelessly underestimate the enemy, and he will catch us off guard.
In fact, it is true, we relied on a lot of people to besiege and beat Ma Yuan, but in the end we suffered a big loss, and we lost Yan and Di, the two generals, which is really sad."
The north wind blew, and Xiang Yu, who was standing side by side with Wu Qi on the city wall, had a fluttering coat, and his eyes showed a touch of anger, and he said in a deep voice: "Oh, do you think that this horse aid's martial arts are second only to Li Yuanba?"
He Yuanqing knew that people who practiced martial arts had a competitive heart, not to mention an arrogant monarch like Xiang Yu, so he immediately laughed and said: "King Xiang, don't get me wrong, I mean we Han generals, not including you, King Xiang."
Xiang Yu's anger dissipated slightly, and he suddenly stretched out his hand and smashed his fist on the city wall, and there were intricate cracks like spider webs when he landed, and said to Wu Qi and the generals behind him word by word: "Everyone, listen up, if Liu Bang's army arrives in Athens, I, Xiang Yu, swear to cut off the horse and help the head to offer, so that General He can see what it means to have people outside the sky."
According to the scouts, Liu Bang, Napoleon, Constantine and other leaders of various Roman forces reached an agreement and formed an army with a total strength of nearly 600,000 troops to reinforce Athens in two ways, all the way across the Mediterranean Sea from the sea by boat, all the way along the Alps, from Solona, and now there are still four or five hundred miles away from the city of Athens.
Wu Qi frowned and said: "Athens is an important town of the Roman Empire, the city is high and thick, there are nearly 50,000 defenders in the city, it is not easy to break the city."
"It's not difficult to break the city with General Wu's ability" Xiang Yu put his hands behind his back, and there was a heroic spirit between his eyes, "I think General Wu is not in a hurry to break the city, but just plans to attract the Roman army to help, and then fight a decisive battle under the city of Athens, and finish the battle."
Wu Qi stroked his beard and laughed: "Haha, King Xiang's eyes are like torches, and he penetrates Wu's mind at a glance."
I do have this intention, if I can fight the main Roman army in the Balkans, I can complete the battle and achieve twice the result with half the effort. ” Xiang Yu bowed his head: "You Han people have used this trick perfectly, I heard that last year's battle to destroy Wei was also in Hanoi, with Zhuge Liang, Li Jing, Gongsun Qi and other three-way reinforcements continue to reinforce, it seems that the Roman Empire is running out."
"At that time, you still need King Xiang to help, a fierce general like you is really hard to meet but not to seek" Wu Qi shook his fist at Xiang Yu and slammed it to the ground.
Xiang Yu also saluted: "General Wu is polite, the reason why I went west with your Han army to Rome is not to surrender to Liu Wei, let alone to be greedy for life and afraid of death, but just to find Lu Zhi, a femme fatale-hearted woman, to avenge Ya's father." 600,000 Roman troops came to reinforce Athens by different routes, and the war was about to break out, Wu Qi thought that the 500,000 soldiers in his hands were not enough to be sure, and on the one hand, he ordered a feint attack on the city of Athens, and on the other hand, he sent scouts to inform Yue Fei, who was 300 miles away, and summoned him to lead the army to Athens for reinforcements and a head-on decisive battle with the Roman army.
After receiving Wu Qi's letter, Yue Fei immediately led his troops from Corinth to Athens, spent two days and two nights under the city of Athens, joined Wu Qi's army, and set up a large camp that stretched for fifty miles, and drained the water around the city of Athens.
Early the next morning, the scout Kuamada reported: "Wu Shuai and Yue Shuai, the two Roman armies have arrived at the coastal port of Sparta, and will now form a march towards Athens, which is expected to arrive outside Athens in the early morning of the next day." ” Wu Qi took the case and shouted to encourage the generals: "Generals, the main army of Rome has arrived, and the situation of a decisive battle has been formed.
Before the battle with the Roman army, you should take the city of Athens in one go, firstly, to avoid being attacked on the back, and secondly, to dampen the morale of the Roman army, I wonder if you can be confident that you can take the city of Athens defended by 50,000 men in one day."
As soon as Wu Qi's voice fell, Ran Min, Yue Yun, Gao Chong, Jiang Song, Huang Feihu and other generals hugged their fists together and promised: "We will obey the orders of the two marshals and swear to break Athens within one day." t1706231537:
