The city of Babylon, a beautiful ancient city in the central region of Mesopotamia.
Known as the City of Gardens.
But when the war covers this city, it also becomes a lonely ruin, and the destructive power of war is always the most powerful destructive force in the world, and anything good will be destroyed by war.
Previously, the Wu army broke through the city of Seleucia and drove directly into Mesopotamia, although the Roman army was defeated and retreated, but they also fought back against the council, and they finally fought back in this city in order to stop the footsteps of the Wu army.
The troops of the two armies of the Guanzhong Army approached the city, and in order to break through the city, they did not hesitate to blow up the entire ring wall, and finally the desperate resistance of the Roman army also made this street battle extremely tragic.
In the end, the city was destroyed by the war.
This is a central area connecting the north and south of Mesopotamia, whether it is the Guanzhong Army in the north or the Snow Leopard Army in the southwest, it is the most convenient place for the Wu army.
Therefore, after the general headquarters of the first western theater of the Wu army went north from Seleucia City, it was already based here in order to control the overall situation.
City.
The Chinese army battalion.
"Newspaper" "Come in," Pan Feng's voice sounded.
"Report to the commander-in-chief, the Sea Eagle Legion has just sent a report, five days ago, Zhou Tai Lumont divided his troops to attack the Roman sailors, annihilating 30,000 Roman sailors in one fell swoop, and there are still tens of thousands of Roman sailors who have fled, and now the main force of the Sea Hawk has crossed the Euphthera River and is advancing in the direction of Syria."
"Well, that's the best good news these days" When Pan Feng heard this, his originally somewhat gloomy face couldn't help but show a touch of joy: "This time, not only the Romans copied our lair, but we also copied their Roman army's lair."
Since the Snow Leopard Legion of the city-state of Uruk was besieged, the morale of the Wu army has fallen one after another, and even the entire theater of troops has been besieged, which makes the generals feel a little decadent.
At this time, a good news from the Sea Eagle Legion can be regarded as a shot in the arm for the entire war zone.
"Once in Syria, I don't believe the Romans will be able to sit still" "The invasion of the Roman seas by the navy is just around the corner, and it will surely make the Romans panic" "It's also a chance for us to fight back" The staff officers burst out laughing.
"Don't be too happy, Commander" Zhuge Liang was calm, he shook his head, poured cold water on everyone, and said: "Even if the navy can break through into the Syrian province, the ultimate goal is to enter the Roman seas, and it is impossible to stay in the Syrian provinces, unless we give up the opportunity to enter the Roman seas and let them give up the advantage of warships and land in Syria, otherwise they will not be of much help to our current campaign."
This battle of the Sea Eagle Legion is a good thing for Grand Strategy, and the stalemate of this war can be regarded as broken.
But for local strategy, the land war in Mesopotamia actually did not help much.
They are still at a disadvantage.
The battle of the city-state of Uruk is the core of this battle.
"Someone knows" When Pan Feng heard this, he immediately calmed down, but he still had a smile on his face, and said: "But it is undeniable that the breakthrough of the Sea Eagle Legion, which is a great news for our somewhat festering battle situation, is a great news for the army, and it is naturally impossible for them to give up the advantage of warships, but it is of great significance to us to break through into the Roman sea, and I don't believe that the Roman army will be indifferent to this."
"That's right" Zhuge Liang nodded: "At least it can suppress their morale, which is very beneficial to us" Pan Feng was excited, and his eyes continued to look at a battle map in Mesopotamia: "Is there any news from the city-state of Uruk?"
The greatest danger to the Wu army was the battle in the city-state of Uruk.
The Battle of Uruk was crucial to this battle, and if the Roman army annihilated the entire Snow Leopard Legion, then the triangular layout of the Wu army would face a huge gap, and even an unprecedented rout.
It's called pulling a hair and moving the whole body.
The Snow Leopard Legion is the main force, and once the Snow Leopard Legion is defeated, the entire theater will be defeated, forming a chain reaction, and even one of them will not be able to escape from Mesopotamia.
"Report to the Commander, I haven't heard anything back for five days."
A clerk staff officer replied.
"Commander-in-chief, three days ago, we have ordered Ma Chao's independent army to be pushed up in an all-round way, and news has also come from the Guanzhong Legion that Zhang He has invested 30,000 reinforcements, and now there is no news, it should be good news" Zhuge Liang said softly.
"Let's hope" Pan Feng was under a lot of pressure during this time, after all, the Snow Leopard Legion was a main legion, and he had to be careful, if this legion was disabled by the Roman army, I am afraid that it would cause the Wu army to lose completely: "By the way, how many scattered troops have we gathered during this time" After the Wu army entered Mesopotamia, the troops were divided into three ways and entered the western part of Mesopotamia, waterway, south road, north road, all the way to fight, all the way to divide the troops to suppress, and now there are many soldiers and horses left in the cities, these soldiers and horses will be a strong force when they are gathered.
"All the troops in the east have been recovered, sixteen regiments, less than six divisions, about 58,000 soldiers" Zhuge Liang reported carefully: "With the strength of our headquarters, we already have 80,000 soldiers" "We can fight," Pan Feng heard this, his eyes flashing with a glint of essence.
Behind him was a Roman army, the legion of Augustus.
He had already eaten this force.
But there has been no chance.
Now he has enough troops to fight a battle, maybe he can eat him.
Once the Augustus Army is eaten, even if the Snow Leopard Army faces a rout, it is best for the Wu army to maintain an undefeated situation of withdrawing troops.
"Hmm" Zhuge Liang nodded, the corners of his mouth raised a confident smile, and said: "It's time to fight, but the Augustus Legion is very careful, they suffered a big loss from the red-coated cannon last year, and they have not been fighting us head-on, if we can't lure them out with all their forces, it will be difficult to have any results."
"Then we have to find a suitable battlefield" Pan Feng also knew that after the Wu army exploded the red-coated cannon, as long as the Romans were not fools, they would definitely guard against this, and if they wanted to achieve a large-scale result, they must have a seamless layout.
"Naturally here in Babylon" Zhuge Liang spread out a detailed battle map: "In one more day, the Augustus legion that is chasing and fighting fiercely behind will follow, and we will just fight a perfect ambush at that time."
"Although the Augustus Legion suffered setbacks in the first battle last year, it also replenished a lot of troops, at least 1560,000 main forces, plus their main generals were cautious, it was difficult for us to completely annihilate them" A staff officer whispered.
"The number of troops is twice as ours, and it is a little difficult to annihilate them all" Pan Feng squinted slightly.
"If the arrangement is properly arranged, there is still hope, but we have been hiding a trump card" Zhuge Liang said: "The current field artillery division is several times the combat effectiveness of a year ago, and it can definitely give them a cover" "Where is Ding Feng" Pan Feng's eyes lit up when he heard this.
"The Last Will Be" Ding Feng, the youngest and heaviest division commander in the first western theater, stood up and bowed his hand.
"How many guns are currently available to the field artillery division" "There are seventy-eight that can be used," Ding Feng replied.

Before the start of the war, the Logistics Division brought 100 red-coated guns from China that had undergone the second improvement, 70 of which could be divided into the 1st Theater and 30 from Lu Bu's 2nd Division.
With the addition of 70 artillery pieces, Ding Feng's field artillery division can be regarded as amazingly destructive, and it can be called the combat effectiveness of an army of 100,000.
"Kong Ming, where do you think our artillery should be arranged" "Here" Zhuge Liang has been planning for a long time, and the battlefield of this battle has also been chosen: "Twelve miles southeast of Babylon, there is a plain here, surrounded by mountains on three sides, which is the best battlefield for artillery bombardment."
"Good" Pan Feng's eyes burst with sharp battle intent: "Then the only thing left is to lure them into the game, without the bait, it is impossible to let the Augustus Legion enter the game, and the commander will personally serve as this bait."
The Augustus Legion was on guard, and if they wanted to lure them into the game, they could only send Pan Feng to lure the enemy in person.
"Report" At this time, a loud voice sounded outside.
"Come in," Zhuge Liang snorted.
"Report to the Commander-in-Chief, Chief of the General Staff, and the war report from the Northern Frontier" "Northern Xinjiang" When Pan Feng and Zhuge Liang heard this, they couldn't help but glance at each other. 2nd Western Theater of Operations.
"Lu Bu" Pan Feng suddenly spit out a name.
"Zhou Gongjin" Zhuge Liang is more concerned about Zhou Yu.
In the golden autumn of October, the leaves are colorful, and the city of Jinling is picturesque.
The Imperial Study.
Sun Quan was forced to lie on top of the imperial case, reviewing the recitals, one by one the recitals made him overwhelmed, and also made him a little annoyed, and his temper was chaotic: "Damn, they also presented this bit of shit, the cabinet is all eating dry food, and they can't get out of here."
The clerks and staff officers of the imperial study who worked in the two ear rooms on the left and right heard Sun Quan's roaring voice, and they immediately trembled.
This is not the first time that tantrums have been thrown.
Recently, Sun Quan's temper has grown, not only in the imperial study, but also in the entire Forbidden Palace.
"Your Majesty" Guo Jia walked out of the left staff room, picked up a book on the ground, and said with a smile to Sun Quan: "The governor of a state is a feudal official, although the cabinet has the right to nominate people, but the real decision is the court assembly, they are now deposing the governor of a state, naturally you want to see it in person."
"Everything has been seen by me, and I can't live anymore" Sun Quan sneered and made trouble unreasonably.
"Your Majesty, you can take a sip of tea first" Zhuge Jin sighed and presented a cup of tea: "Your Majesty is worried about the war situation in the Western Regions" "I know and ask" Sun Quan drank the tea in one gulp, and only then did he calm down some of the restlessness in his heart.
Zhuge Jin is not wrong, he has always been thinking about some unexpected battles in the west, which has led to a false fire in his heart, and he loses his temper at every turn.
Since the news came from the west that the Roman army had suddenly increased by 400,000 troops, he had some trouble sleeping.
The Roman Empire had shown itself to be more ferocious than he had ever anticipated.
All along, he has felt that he has overestimated the Roman Empire, but after all, he has underestimated this ancient overlord who dominated Western Europe and was tied with the Han Dynasty in the East.
Investing 400,000 main elites in one go, Severus is going to give him a blow to the head, this military strongman is really a Roman emperor who is not willing to suffer.
"Isn't there any news from the west?"
asked Sun Quan after calming down.
"There is no good news for the time being," Zhuge Jin shook his head.
"Ziyu, Fengxiao, do you think I should continue to increase my troops?"
Sun Quan walked out of the imperial case, paced back and forth, and asked in a deep voice.
He still has more troops.
If he wanted to, the Blood Wolf Legion could immediately move westward, and he could even draw some troops from the Wild Lion Legion.
With him in charge of the overall situation, and the Central Army to maintain the situation in the Central Plains, the Central Plains will not be chaotic.
"Your Majesty, now is not a good time to increase troops" Zhuge Jin shook his head: "After October, the northern territory has begun to close the roads with snow, and the Silk Road is about to be blocked by wind and snow."
"Bonghyo" "Your Majesty, I agree with the words of Staff Officer Zhuge that now is not a good time to increase troops, and we must wait until the spring of next year to increase troops on the western battlefield."
"I don't know" Sun Quan had a bitter smile on his face, and said: "It's just that I was put on a role by Severus's bastard, and I was a little unwilling in my heart, I really didn't expect this bastard to be so bold and increase the two main army corps in Mesopotamia in one go."
"Your Majesty, the Jinyi Guards are a little ineffective, the transfer of hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses in the Roman Empire will inevitably be very large, and they don't even notice it, this is a dereliction of duty" Zhuge Jin said indignantly.
"I don't think so" Guo Jia said a fair word for Jinyiwei: "There is a huge difference between us Wu and the Romans in terms of body shape, appearance, and language, and what Jinyiwei can do is very limited, unable to penetrate into it, and can't get the latest news at all, and according to some of our news, our Eastern Wu people have been flaunted as demons by some of their theocracy in the Roman Empire, and now it is even more difficult for Jinyiwei to rebel against some Romans, unless you give Jinyiwei ten or twenty years to layout, Otherwise, it will be difficult for them to infiltrate the high-level information in Rome."
At the beginning, Sun Quan used the brocade clothes to lay out Cao Wei, and it was also ten years long to make those brocade clothes and shadows exert a strong force.
Now, it is too difficult for Jinyiwei to lay out in Rome, a hundred times more difficult than it was to penetrate among the princes of the Central Plains back then.
"I heard that Li Ru has rushed to the Western Regions" Sun Quan squinted.
"Hmm" Guo Jia nodded: "After the news of the increase of troops in Rome in the west came back, he immediately set off and went to the west, probably to rectify the strength of the Jinyi Guard."
"Let him go" Sun Quan said: "The first thing I need to know now is the result of the battle of the Uruk Federation, whether Tai Shi Ci can stop it, I am very worried."
"Good news, good news in the west" Suddenly, a loud voice continued to echo in the sky above Jinling City.
"Good News" Sun Quan and the others' eyes lit up slightly.
The soldier who reported the news outside had already entered the imperial study: "Report to Your Majesty, good news from the Second Western War Zone" "Second War Zone" Sun Quan was stunned.

"Hurry up" Guo Jia and Zhuge Jin shouted.
"On September 23, the second western theater of operations, commander-in-chief Lü Bu personally crossed the Caspian Sea, with 13,000 soldiers and horses, into the Armenian province of Elebuni, on September 25, the two major armies of the western second theater of hundreds of thousands of soldiers under the leadership of the general staff Zhou Yu, all landed in the Armenian province, on September 28, after three days of bloody battles, commander-in-chief Lü Bu personally beheaded the Parthian corps commander Vologasis V, annihilated the Roman Empire Parthian legion of 100,000 soldiers, captured 30,000, and 50,000 Parthian soldiers fled westwardOn September 29, the 2nd Western Theater of Operations fully seized the province of Armenia" The soldier who reported the news bowed his head to the ground, his voice was scolding, and he said word by word, and the report was very clear. t1706231537:
