A sneer rose at the corner of Olvili's mouth, and he glanced at Caracalla: "Your Royal Highness, do you know the gap between us and the Eastern Demon?"
How could he not have known Caracalla's thoughts.
When the war broke out a year later, Severus sent two of his most proud princes out in order to boost the morale of the army.
Caracalla was ordered to oversee the Syrian campaign.
And Gaita was ordered to oversee the Battle of Antioch.
The battle for the Roman heir is also becoming more and more tense, and both Caracalla and Gaita want to take over the position of his father, the Roman Emperor.
But Severus was a knight above military power.
He was kind to the army and also valued the knights.
He believed that his heir must be the best knight.
The best knight is the god of war on the battlefield.
Therefore, whether it is Caracalla or Gaita, they are all on the battlefield, and only on the battlefield and fighting a victorious battle can they get a different look at Severus.
The Romans were defeated in successive battles.
It had only been two months since the start of the war, and the Wu army had already pushed its forces to Damascus City, which made Caracalla more and more disappointed.
Now it is finally under the chips of Olville, and a close battle is fought.
Naturally, he wanted to keep up the good work.
As long as he can fight a victorious battle, he can regain the favor of his father Severus, and as for casualties or anything, he can't care about it at the moment.
"Gap" Caracalla's face trembled when he heard this.
Wu Jun's ferocity made a deep impression on him.
In the battles of Mesopotamia, he was also defeated by the Wu army several times, and he had some estimation of the combat effectiveness of the Wu army.
Only then did he calm down a little.
"Your Royal Highness, we are only lucky enough to fight a draw battle, not a victorious battle, if we rush to counterattack like this, do you know what will happen?"
Olvili asked.
"This" Caracalla's face was ugly.
"Your Royal Highness, you want to fight, you can fight, but you need to take into account the lives of the knights of the three legions in the city today, the knights of my Roman Empire have always been brave and good at fighting, but they will never give up their lives easily" Olvelli said coldly: "We are fighting for the honor of not one man, but the great Roman Empire."
"The Pope is right, Caracalla is not anxious, and the situation must be considered again and again in the future" Caracalla said respectfully.
Although Orvili said it harshly, and did not give him the slightest face of the prince, he still listened and could not refute it.
He offended no one and dared not offend Olvili.
Severus is an emperor who fights, he is a man from the southern barbarians of Africa, who can come out of the bitter cold land of Africa and walk to the throne of the Roman emperor, but he is not a person who can be stumped by family affection.
He's definitely a ruthless man.
He cares more about the ministers around him than he cares about the heirs under his knees.
In his heart, the two great ministers of the humerus around him, who were literate and martial, were unmatched in the entire Roman Empire.
Severus's sons are not only Caracalla and Geta, but there are several, but Caracalla and Geeta are better, even if one dies, there is another, but only these two ministers can help him stabilize Rome.
These two people are far more than him as a great prince in his heart.
What's more, Olvili represented the Roman military power.
He was the only general other than Severus who was qualified to mobilize all the Roman legions.
With the current situation, Caracalla was too late to curry favor with Orveli, how could he offend him.
"His Royal Highness the eldest prince is serious, the minister does not intend to punish His Royal Highness the eldest prince, it's just that this battle is just the beginning, and next, we still have countless battles waiting for us, what we need is to be cautious" Olvi used a soft voice, said.
"What are we going to do next, Your Majesty the Pope?"
asked Caracalla, humbly.
"After this battle is frustrated, these Eastern Demons should stop fighting" Olvili pondered for a moment and said: "The momentum of their offensive has been thwarted by us, and their morale will inevitably be in turmoil, and they will not take the initiative to start a war in a short time."
"Hmm" Caracalla nodded: "In the afternoon, the spies came to report that the army of the Eastern Demon had withdrawn fifty miles away from Damascus City, and most of the soldiers and horses had shrunk back to their main camp, set up camp, and hung up the battle free card."
"In this case, we should be able to rest for a few days," Orvili said, "hurry up and build a defensive offensive, the city of Damascus will become the main battlefield, and then we will even need to abandon the walls, take advantage of the environment in the city, avoid their sharp weapons, and drag them into this quagmire."
"The Pope means to take advantage of the environment of Damascus City and fight a piecemeal battle with them" Caracalla's eyes lit up slightly, very bright.
"Hmm" Alvili sat down, gently spread out a book of thirty-six strategies in his hand, looked at the content translated in Latin next to the Chinese characters, sighed, and then said faintly: "The empire where the Eastern Devil is located, called Wu, vast and wide, known as great, the Great Wu Empire, is a empire from the Far East, the strength is invincible, their history is also broad and profound, their art of war is even more profound, for several years, we have traded with Wu, understand the Wu people, and benefited a lot, Their art of war also taught me a lot. ” "Your Excellency, this is their art of war" Caracalla looked at the book of war in Olvelli's hand and frowned slightly.
"It's just one of them, as far as I know, their art of war is so profound and innumerable that even in my lifetime, it is difficult to study it deeply, but it is enough to make good use of it."

Olvili closed the book of war, and a confident smile rose on the corner of his mouth: "The Eastern Devil has a saying, return it to his body with the other way, I will use their art of war on their body" Boom, boom, boom When his words fell, the sudden roar shook the mountain, making his body shake a little.
"What's going on" Caracalla was taken aback, not knowing why.
"This can only have such an effect with the Eastern Demon's artifact Thunder, the Demon Army is coming" Olvili quickly stabilized his body, and a cold light burst out of his eyes: "After all, he still underestimates the main general of the demon, and he actually has the courage to kill a horse gun" Before, he thought that Wu Jun should stabilize the morale of the army at this time, so he would avoid fighting for a few days.
But after all, he is a little underestimated by the courage of the chief general of the Wu army.
I didn't expect that Wu's army would attack Damascus City at night at this time.
"Devil of the East" Caracalla shuddered: "How dare they" "Listening to the roar, it should be the city gate in the south, the Eastern Demon is holding an immortal artifact, the city gate is not very strong, it will definitely not be able to stop them, it is estimated that they will soon attack" Orvili was calm, took out a token, and shouted: "Caracalla, you immediately hold my fatwa and mobilize the Apollo Legion in the East City and the Iron Legion in the West City to march south, and I will personally lead the Germanic Legion to meet it."
"Yes" Caracalla took the token and quickly left.
Orvili walked out of the main hall, looked up at the south, watched the fire rising into the sky, and a cold smile rose at the corner of his mouth: "This is the return to the horse pistol, right, what a return to the horse pistol, the tactics are magical, right here, although I was indeed killed by you suddenly, but if you think that Damascus City is so easy to conquer, then you have miscalculated, come in a hurry, do not alarm our spies, there must not be many soldiers and horses, then I will leave you all behind" Fighting the Eastern Demon, he felt his blood boiling more and more.
The regret of life is nothing more than being alone and seeking defeat.
After he Orvili used his troops like a god in the Roman Empire, defeated one prince after another for Severus, and supported Severus to ascend to the throne, he was a little disheartened and returned to the status of the pope, half to kill Severus's jealousy, and half because he thought that the Roman Empire no longer had the desire to let him make a move.
It was not until the Roman army was repeatedly defeated in the battle against the Eastern Devils that he came out of the church again and went to the battlefield.
In the past Mesopotamian battles, he was away from the battlefield for a long time, on the one hand, he was not familiar with the opponent's soldiers and horses, and on the other hand, he could not command his own soldiers and horses, so he was unfortunately defeated by the city-state of Uruk.
But that battle also brought him back to his former blood.
Now that his spirit has gradually returned to its peak, he feels excited to fight against such a tough opponent.
The battle began at the South Gate of Damascus.
"Sons, I am Pan Wushuang, the general of Great Wu, follow me to kill it" Wu Jun Pan Feng personally led the two armies of the Xiongnu Legion plus the three main armies of the Sabbath Legion, a total of 143,000 people, with the assistance of night, to forcibly attack the southern city gate.
"Kill" "Kill" The thunder did not blow up the city wall, but the city gate was blown open, and as soon as the city gate opened, Ma Chao Jia Xu personally led the army in front and launched a fierce attack on the city gate.
"The Devil Strikes In" "God, what shall we do" "Hurry up and report to His Royal Highness the Grand Prince and His Highness the Pope" The defenders on the city wall were the knights of the First Germanic Legion, and there were only less than 8,000 knights, who could not stop the Wu army from bombing and driving straight in, and the city was broken in a short time.
"Entered the city" Ma Chao took the lead and was the first to enter the city, but soon his joy did not last long.
Da-da-da-da Under the neighing of a group of war horses, the firelight reflected the red of this city.
"Kill the demons, protect my Roman Empire, the Predator is here, kill" "Kill the demons, protect my Roman Empire, the Apollo legion is here, kill" Two Roman main forces were killed on the left and right, coming quickly, one on the left and one on the right, like sharp arrows suddenly inserted into the formation of the Wu army entering the city.
"Kill" Ma Chao was fearless, fought bravely to kill the enemy, and was invincible with a tiger-headed golden gun, and no one could stop him for a round.
But in the face of more and more Roman main forces on the left and right, he has been caught in a bitter battle.
"Damn, how did reinforcements come so quickly" Outside the city, on the hillside not far away, the firelight stirred, and a temporary command camp was set up, Zhuge Liang watched the changes in the battle situation in the city with a telescope, his brows were tightly locked, and his face was gloomy: "This Roman general is really difficult, he has already prepared for the day when the city is broken, so he camped his soldiers and horses near the city wall, once the reinforcements are up, like lightning, if you want to assault and fight, it is impossible" "Chief of Staff, the commander-in-chief is still fighting hard at the city gate, but Commander Ma Chao can't stop it, how is it good?"
asked a staff officer.
"Mingjin, Collect Troops" Zhuge Liang immediately decided: "Unless our main force is exhausted, otherwise we will not be able to take this city today, since we have no chance, there is no need to entangle with them and fight hard, and quickly withdraw our troops."
"No" Several staff officers quickly went to give the order.
Ding Ding Ding The gong on the hillside sounded rhythmically for tens of seconds, and the sound of the golden gong conveyed the military order to the city.
"Mingjin is gone" "Is there something wrong, forget it, since Mingjin, the military order is like a mountain, and the order is withdrawn" "Collect the troops" The officers and men of the Wu Army heard a burst of unique rhythmic military orders in the Wu Army system in the distance, and one by one the main generals quickly reacted, and the commanders of each division and regiment also quickly commanded the officers and men to transfer the front of the troops.
"Retirement" Ma Chao was a little unwilling, but during this time he had learned military orders, so he could only withdraw his troops, lead the army to whip, and withdraw from the city gate.
"What does Kong Ming mean by this, although we have been intercepted, but we still have a chance, we can't lose the opportunity, as long as we can attack it, we can directly break through this city, but now we are withdrawing our troops" Although Pan Feng is a little unwilling, but now Ma Chao has not been able to break through the barrier in the city for a long time, it must have been an accident, so that Zhuge Liang, who has been fighting for a long time, can give this military order, he is currently on the battlefield, and he has no time to estimate the rest, only to listen to Zhuge Liang's military order that commands the whole army: "Jia Wenhe" "Commander-in-Chief" "Cover immediately and let Ma Chao retreat, I'll cut off the back" "No" After Jia Xu led the army to meet Ma Chao's soldiers and horses out of the city, Pan Feng led 10,000 troops, cut off the rear enemy, and left.
"Winn" "We won" "The Devil Withdraws" "God willing, we have defended the city of Damascus" On the city wall, the fire was like a rainbow, and the soldiers of the Roman army shouted loudly, and the sound was so loud that it shook the top of the nine heavens and clouds.
"Your Holiness the Pope, do we need to hunt down the Demon Army?"
Maximinus, the commander of the Predator Legion, walked up to the city wall, looked at Olvili's figure, and asked.
"No more" Olvili's body was straight, standing at the highest point of the city wall, his eyes looked at the disappearing Wu army, his fists were a little clenched, and his face was very gloomy: "It's useless to chase, they are prepared, we want to pursue while the night is dark, I'm afraid we will encounter an ambush, let them go, after this battle, there are a few days of peace, you will immediately go to rectify the soldiers, appease the casualties, and improve morale" "Yes" The generals took the order and left with excitement.
Orvili's gaze didn't retract for a long time, until he saw that the darkness in the distance had lost the trace of the fire, and then he hated: "These Eastern Demons are actually just a head-on battle, and they have not waited for my main force to invest, and they have decisively withdrawn their troops, which is really a waste of my good intentions, but who gave the military order to make them withdraw their troops, I am a little curious, don't let me catch you, otherwise" He was a little curious about the chief general of the Wu army.
The person who can decisively withdraw his troops in this situation is not only resourceful, but also guessed his intention to encircle and suppress, and has some courage that cannot be underestimated, and will not fight greedily, but knows how to give up opportunities.
Such a person must be a strong enemy. t1706231537:
