Afternoon.
In the evening.
Maritime.
The remnant sun sets in the west, the fire burns the clouds, and the scenery of the sunset looks beautiful, and a piece of blue sky and white jade on the sea surface are completely handed over, and from a distance it seems that there is an illusion that the sky and the earth have been completely harmonious again.
If under this kind of scenery, a building boat, wine in hand, beautiful women's arms, boating on the sea, this must be a good enjoyment.
But this is the Tunisian Strait, a battlefield where bloody battles are about to break out.
Knock knock The warships of the Skeleton Legion slowly approached, and the sound of drums rising into the sky seemed to stir up a thousand huge waves on the sea, and they rushed straight to the top of the nine clouds.
"The demon's attack has begun" At the beginning of the castle on Carthage, the leaders of several pirate groups stood, looking at the imposing warships on the sea, and their faces were solemn.
"We have no way back, because this is a battle between races, whether we are pirates or soldiers of the Empire, only by defeating them can we survive, don't pin your mercy on the demons" Doug's body was straight, a fighting spirit was rising in his body, his voice was loud, and he had a determination to become a benevolent if he didn't succeed: "Even if we only have one soldier left, we must stop them here."
"Chief Doug is right, no matter what identity we are, we are all subjects of the empire, the devil has invaded, and under the righteousness, there is only a fight to the death" Fernando's momentum also rose, and he roared angrily.
"Fight to the Death" "Fight to the Death" When the two most powerful pirate leaders have made a statement, the remaining pirate groups have also taken a stand.
Although these are all pirates, most of them are veterans of the Empire, and they are soldiers made by the nobles of Rome from the Italian legions, so they have a strong sense of belonging to the Empire.
Therefore, even though the Edwardian pirate regiment was almost completely annihilated, they did not lose their determination to fight, and when the Wu army approached, they still stubbornly resisted.
"Kill" "Kill" "Kill" The Skeleton Legion directly invested all its forces to fight, Lu Meng did not leave any reserve troops at all, and the main forces of the five legions under his command were all pressed up, from the east, southeast, and northeast, three directions, to strike a comprehensive blow at this strait defense line that stretched for dozens of miles.
In this battle, he wants to break through this line of defense in one fell swoop.
"Block" "Soldiers, we are not pirates, we are knights of the Empire, the Empire is in danger now, this will be our battlefield, God will not allow us to take half a step back" "God is watching us, the devil is the enemy of the empire, the enemy of the light, we can't let the demon look down on us, don't retreat, all of them will be killed by me" "Rush forward, the brave knight can only face it head-on, the demon has nothing to fear, kill" "Kill" Although these Roman forces were gathered by pirates from the western seas, the sense of pride of the Roman Empire's dominance over Western Europe for many years made them forget about their lives and fight at this moment.
There are still about 70,000 or 80,000 main troops and horses, and with the Carthaginian island as the center, a turquoise sea with 30 miles in a semicircle of 30 miles in the east, southeast, and northeast directions of the island is connected with a solid defensive line.
Even in the face of the surging and wild attack of the Skeleton Legion, they had a geographical advantage, and they never took half a step back, stubbornly blocking the front.
In the midst of the Great War, time faded by The sunset in the sky has faded, and the sky has begun to enter the dark night, and this cruel and bloody battle has begun to enter the face-to-face battle from the tentative battle between the two sides, the delicate blood, the broken corpses, stained this sea red.
The warships and small islands on both sides have been completely intertwined, one by one the warships are staggered, with the military flags of the Wu army on them, and some things The messy family emblem and flags of the Roman army, one by one, the battle flags are overwhelming, staggered and messy, and the battle is fierce.
"The commander has an order, the first one to break through the defense line, the officer will be promoted to three ranks, and a reward of one hundred taels of gold, sons, follow me to kill the enemy" "Come, Demon, and see how my knight's spear pierces your body" "Aris, you are also a Roman, why did you fall into hell, throw yourself into the demons, and help them invade my Roman homeland, are you worthy of the ancestors of Rome?"
"Lasse, the Roman Empire abandoned me like a slave, and now the Wu Dynasty appreciates me as a general, what is a demon, what is light, I only know, meritorious service can be a city lord, a king" "Confused, the devil is unjust, you'd better wake up, God will forgive you" "I don't need to, I want to kill, I want to be the lord of the city, I want to be the king, you should kill" “” Bursts of Jin Ge iron horses, warships collided, countless sounds of fighting condensed, countless voices wailed and the voices were also blending, and the two warring sides still knew a lot, and they fought for their own masters, which made this battle even more tragic.
On the sea in the distance.
The lights of the Skull lit up, slowly approaching the battlefield.
"We have defeated their tens of thousands of troops, and they can still block the strong attack of our whole army, this Roman resistance is very tenacious" Lu Meng stood under the deck of the night, his eyes were shining through the overlapping flames, and he was watching the battle on the battlefield, and his brows were a little furrowed.
From the very beginning, he threw all his main force into it, just to test how strong the resistance of these pirate soldiers and horses was.
If they hesitate a little bit to resist, this violent storm can make them messy and go their separate ways.
In this way, the Skeleton Legion will be able to carry out the annihilation after the division, which will allow the Skeleton Legion to win this battle with small casualties.
"Commander, in the entire Roman sea, the western sea is different from the eastern sea, many pirates in the eastern sea were exiled by the Roman Empire, and the western sea, which is the sea fleet composed of the nobles of their Roman Empire, although it bears the name of a pirate, but its combat effectiveness is comparable to the regular imperial navy, the Roman Empire has dominated the West for hundreds of years, I think the Romans have a strong sense of belonging to the Roman Empire, so" Deng Dang stood beside Lu Meng, sighed, and said in a low voice: "If we want to enter the western seas, I am afraid we must pay a certain number of casualties."
"In this case, you can only fight hard, and if you want to achieve victory, some casualties cannot be avoided" Lu Meng took a deep breath, he was very calm, although he was famous for his wisdom and generals, but his courage was more powerful than the brave generals who charged, and when he made a decision, there was no retreat: "Pass my military order, the whole army will strengthen the attack, and be sure to break through this strait within three days."
He was afraid of long nights and dreams.
After all, this is the western sea, and there is a strong Roman power in the western sea, and this is the home of the Roman army, not to mention the Italian legion of the imperial regular army on the Greek peninsula, and it is estimated that there are many pirate troops in Sicily, which is not far from the north.
His aim is to break through here and then surprise the Africans.
He didn't want anything to go wrong here.
Only by fighting a quick battle can we complete the strategic deployment of Zhao Yun, commander of the Fourth Theater.
"No" Deng Dang received the order and personally went to deliver the military order.
This terrible battle continued under the cover of night, shouts and screams, drums, shouts, and sound waves completely enveloped the sky of this sea.
Fought from sunset to night, and then from night to dawn, because the Roman pirate coalition resisted stubbornly, and after a night of fighting, the skeleton legions did not make a breakthrough.
When the sun was shining on the sea, the formations of the two sides were still in a stalemate.
So when the morning came, the offensive of the Wu army began to deliberately slow down a little.
After all, the attack was too impatient, and the soldiers' physique was a little unbearable.
This is a strong offensive battle that continues to be high-intensity.
How to conserve physical strength, how to stagger and rest his troops in the midst of the strong attack, this is what Lv Meng, the coach, does.
After a few hours of rest, the battle had entered noon the next day.
In the middle of the day, the Skeleton Legion's strong attack on the Tunisian Strait defense line started again, this time Lü Meng did not directly mobilize all his troops, he only mobilized three legions to maintain a high-intensity attack, and fought until the afternoon sunset.

After sunset, the Wu army slowed down the offensive again because the strong attack was too difficult, and the other two troops who had rested for most of the day were dispatched to launch a night attack.
Under the alternate attacks, the Skeleton Legion has not relaxed its attack on the Tunisian Channel defense line.
This tragic and bloody battle lasted for two days and three nights.
Towards the end of the third night of the battle, the Skeleton Legion not only made a breakthrough, but also quickly succeeded in encircling and suppressing it, destroying 50% of the Roman pirates' forces, and the remaining tens of thousands of remnants were also surrounded by them on Carthage.
The night passed.
The sun is gradually rising in the morning.
Under the sun, tens of thousands of remnants of the city of Carthage were shrinking the defensive circle, and they surrounded the island with the only remaining warships, connecting the coast and the island land, forming the last defensive circle of this defensive line.
And the skeleton legion is also constantly shrinking the encirclement.
The main general Lu Meng, who was bathed in the sun, was in a dilemma at this time, his purpose was to break through, and now that the defense line of the Tunisian Strait had been torn apart by him, he could completely drive straight in.
However, the island of Carthage is a very advantageous stronghold, and if it can be completely captured, it will be very useful for the Skeleton Legion to enter the western seas.
He was a little hesitant whether to go away or concentrate all his efforts first and take the Carthaginian islands.
"Commander, this is a great opportunity, it's not easy to surround them all here, isn't it a pity to let them go" Deng Dang said in a low voice.
"A certain family knows, but the capture of the province of Africa is very important for the strategy of the Fourth Theater of Operations" Lu Meng said: "There can be no delay" The main force of the Fourth War Zone is now unable to go west because of the desert in Cyrenaica, and he knows very well.
That desert is a husband and a wife, and it is impossible to open it.
This will affect the strategy of the 4th and 3rd theaters.
Only by using the Skeleton Legion to break through the Afrikaner Sea, take the Afrikaner Province, and copy the back road of the coalition forces of the four major Roman provinces, can the main force be killed.
He pondered for a long time before he came down and decided: "Send my military order, the whole army will press up, they only have one day, before sunset, if they can't take the Carthaginian island, give up, and drive straight into the waters of Africa."
"No" A few staff officers quickly went to deliver the military order.
The final battle is on.
"Kill, rush forward" "Sons of the 78th Army, rush" "The officers and men of our 80th Army are not bad breeds, charge with me" The soldiers of the Skeleton Legion began their final charge, one by one rushing towards the island of Carthage.
"You can't retreat, you have to block it" "We are the warriors of the Empire, and we must fight to the death" "As long as you hold on for a day, Blake will lead the troops to increase the number of troops, and you must hold on" The remaining tens of thousands of pirate remnants are still resisting, and the pirate leaders such as Edward, Doug, and Fernando are now at the forefront of the final struggle.
The tide ebbed and flowed, and in the midst of the war, the sun set again.
In one day, the Skeleton Legion encountered stubborn resistance, and repeated attacks did not overcome this last position, and at this critical time, a fleet suddenly appeared in the northern waters of the Skeleton Legion, and more than 1,000 warships carried tens of thousands of soldiers and horses surging towards them, and on top of each warship, the battle flag with blue roses blooming was hung, which was the symbol of the Black family.
"Honorable Chief, we are late, now that the positions on the left and right flanks of the Tunis Strait have been swept away, and the spy ships have discovered that the demon army is storming the island of Carthage" "Go all out" Arlesblake, a blonde-haired, blue-eyed knight of the Empire, stood on the deck with a majestic body like a bear, a grim face and a low voice.
"Yes" The Black fleet accelerated.
At this time, the scout ships of the Skeleton Legion also discovered the appearance of this fleet.
"Report to the commander, there is an enemy army in the north, with more than a thousand warships, tens of thousands of troops, and a battle flag with blue roses, which is speeding forward, and at most in an hour, you can reach the Carthaginian battlefield" "From the north, the blue rose battle flag" Lv Meng heard this, looked at a Roman staff officer beside him and asked: "Aura, this is the sign of that power" "It should be a pirate group from the Black family" "Black" "The Black family, which is second only to the ancient Robert family in the Roman Empire, is a powerful family, and the Black pirate group is also famous in the west, and it is definitely the top three in terms of power."
"In this way, there is no chance to annihilate them all today" Lu Meng sighed: "Passing on our military order, the army immediately stopped attacking, and all the warships turned around, and in the shortest time, to the southwest, entered the Afrikan sea."
"No" In the eighth year of Tianquan, in late February, Lü Meng personally led the Skeleton Legion to break through to the west of the Roman Sea, and after experiencing the tragic Battle of the Tunisian Strait, he successfully broke through the defensive line and drove straight into the western African Seas t1706231537:
