When Chucks made his decision, the generals obeyed, and the army immediately prepared to go after the Eastern Demons.
Vickers' Gallic Legion and Dio's Crusader Legion, these two legions, with a total of nearly 300,000 main forces, deviated from the main forces of the east and west, and rushed towards the castle of Ravanna in the northeast.
The two legions of them looked mighty, but in fact, they also suffered a lot of vitality in this battle.
Whether it is the Gallic legion or the crusader legion, they are the main force of the Roman army, and the Wu army has been confronted repeatedly, engaged in countless battles, after bloody battles, they have already suffered heavy casualties, and they can still gather 300,000 soldiers and horses, at least one-third of which are forcibly recruited from the city and have never been on the battlefield.
So even if they fought in pursuit, they marched slowly.
From the Castle of Florence, a distance of about a hundred miles, if the elite army had been able to rush there in less than a day, but it took them a day and a half to enter the northeast coast of the Italian province.
Only ten miles from the castle of Ravana, Dio suddenly ordered the army to stop.
"General Theo, what's wrong" Vickers saw the Crusaders suddenly stop, he also stopped, walked up, and asked Theo.
"General Vickers, these Eastern demons have always been cunning, they have attacked the castle of Ravanna, they will definitely know that they have exposed their tracks, maybe this is a trap, a trap waiting for us to be fooled, we can't easily rush in" Dio has fought countless battles with Wu Jun, he has already made a point of understanding, dealing with these demons from the east, with black eyes and black hair, he has lost many times, suffered a loss and grown wise, and now he has become extremely cautious: "And you don't find it, the terrain around us now can form an encirclement with nowhere to enter, once you go deeper, it is like going deep into a canyon."
"You're worried that the Eastern Devil will take the opportunity to place ambushes on both flanks, ready to ambush us" When Vickers heard this, a glint crossed his eyes, and he spread out a map of the surrounding terrain and looked at it carefully: "If we look at it from the front, in fact, the terrain here is nothing, there is no canyon and mountain road, but as long as you look carefully at the map, you will find that because the river between the left and right terrain is the majority, it causes a terrain that is not conducive to marching, once it is trapped, it forms a canyon battlefield, which is indeed a good place for ambush."
The terrain here is not an ambush terrain like a mountain canyon.
At first, I couldn't see anything, but I felt that it was flat.
However, only a general with battlefield experience will observe carefully, and you will find that because of the criss-crossing rivers here, it has created a strange terrain similar to the left and right flanking back.
"Narhi" Dio pondered for a while, his eyes suddenly looked at the city lord of Ravanna Castle who returned with the army, and said indifferently: "This is your castle, you should be most familiar with the terrain around here, I will give you three hundred spies, you take them to approach the castle from the path, within an hour, you must understand the situation of Ravanna Castle" He was not a request, but an order.
So Narshi could only pinch his nose and receive the order: "The order of the little General Zundeo" To the north of the castle, on an open plain, the central army of the Wu army was encamped.
"Newspaper" "Say" "Report to the Lord, we have found traces of the Romans in pursuit," the scout reported.
"How far is it from us" Lu Bu's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he asked.
"It's less than ten miles from the castle" "How many troops do they have," Ju Yi asked, chasing.
"Commander, the strength of the Roman army is not known for the time being, but according to their banner, at least they have more than 150,000 troops, and at present they have stopped and camped, and they have no intention of entering the castle of Gong Ravanna immediately."
"Go and probe again, keep an eye on the spies they let out, kill those who should be killed, and stay behind those who should stay," Lu Bu said.
"Obedience" The scout departed.
In the camp, Lu Bu Juyi and the others had heavy faces, their expressions were a little cold, and they looked at each other silently.
Lu Bu's eyes suddenly looked at Guo Jia, and said: "Fengxiao, this Roman barbarian is really as you expected, he actually stopped and set up camp, it's good to listen to you, don't lay ambushes on both wings, otherwise it will be exposed."
He had planned to take advantage of the terrain of Ravanna, to ambush on both flanks, and wait for the Romans to penetrate deep enough to form an encirclement, but now it seems that the Romans have forced them to be much calmer and more shrewd.
"We suffered such a big loss in this battle, and almost all our troops were wiped out in the city of Rome, how dare I underestimate them Romans" Guo Jia's eyes were cold, he looked at the strategic deployment map, and said: "Although I don't know very well about the army that is chasing this time, I have to treat any Roman army commander with a cautious attitude, once they receive the news and chase them, they will definitely be afraid of rashly attacking and falling into our encirclement if they are not sure of the situation in the castle of Ravanna, this is a very normal thing, which also shows one thing, although the Romans are now furious and want to kill us a river of blood, But their reason is still very clear, we need to be careful in the future, we must not be careless, the slightest carelessness, we will be entangled by them, and even face a total annihilation" "So what do we do next?"
Ju Yi asked.
"Wait" Guo Jia's eyes were like rainbows, and his voice was resolute.
"Wait" Ju Yi frowned slightly when he heard this.
"We can only move if they move" Guo Jia said in a deep voice: "The strategy of back-and-forth insertion, whoever makes the first move, will be passive, if you want to ambush them, you must take the initiative to attack the castle."
"Fengxiao, I'm not questioning your strategy, but you have to know that they should be able to afford time now, but we can't afford it."
Lu Budao: "The most important thing is that His Majesty is now in the castle" Now they're in a race against time.
If you drag them down and don't have to fight, it will be easy to drag them down, so a quick victory is the most important thing.
"Commander Juyi, don't worry, I'm sure they won't wait long" The corner of Guo Jia's mouth raised a sneer, and he said confidently: "I don't dare to underestimate them at all, but I won't look down on them either, I don't believe that they can withstand their anger when they find out that our army is in the castle of Ravanna, and it is estimated that before sunset, they will definitely move."
"Hope you're right" Lu Bu and Ju Yi glanced at each other and said in a low voice.
Waiting is a mental torment for anyone.
In a large camp where hundreds of thousands of Roman troops were temporarily housed, Dio and Vickers and many of the legion commanders were in a nervous waiting, waiting for news from the surroundings, waiting for news from the castle.
"General Vickers, do you think the main force of the Eastern Devils will be here?"
asked Dio.
In fact, he was not sure where the main force of the Eastern Demon was.
But Chucks is right, no road can be spared, as long as there is a trace, it must be killed.
"Hard to say" Hearing this, Vickers sighed and smiled bitterly: "I have fought for the empire all my life, countless battles large and small, I have driven the barbarians outside the territory, and I have also quelled the rebellion of the empire for Your Majesty, but this eastern demon is the biggest enemy I have encountered in this life, they are extremely cunning, since the Battle of Britain, I have been studying them, but I can't see through them, I can't think through them." ” "Actually, they are not so mysterious" Dio sneered and said: "Although I have been defeated by them many times in a row, but Your Majesty can set up a siege to kill them, so that their millions of main forces fall under the spears and bows and arrows of the imperial army, even if they have weapons that we are far behind, they have extraordinary cunning, and in the end it is nothing more than that, and now they are killed by us."
"General Theo is right" "There is nothing to be afraid of the Eastern Devil" "They can fight into the borders of the Empire, and one day we can fight into the East" All the generals held their breath and said indignantly.
After all, even the outer city of the imperial capital had been razed to the ground, and the resentment in their hearts against the Eastern Wu Army was like a surging river.
"Actually, I think that the focus of this battle should be to hunt down the Demon Emperor" Vickers smiled bitterly, it's not that he doesn't have confidence, it's that he feels that the chance of entering the East is very slim, after all, the situation in the empire now makes him a little uneasy, he said in a deep voice: "As long as their emperor dies in Rome, the East will be in chaos, they will be in civil strife, and naturally they can't take care of our empire, waiting for us to have enough time to clean up the chaos of the empire, we can naturally regroup and fight with them again."
The East is so big, he has some understanding over the years, he thinks that this time to exterminate all the forces of these Eastern demons here, if they can't leave their emperor, after all, it will only be a symptom but not a cure.

One day, the Orientals will come in.
"Who does not know such a truth?"
When Dio heard this, a wry smile also appeared on his face: "But the Eastern Devil is so cunning, where is their emperor, who can know, An'er knows, or we know" "So General Chacks is right, we have to kill none of them."
Vickers' eyes were awe-inspiring, and his killing intent soared into the sky, and he said: "Only if none of them can escape, can their emperor also be destroyed here."
"Your Excellency, the situation of the terrain on the left and right flanks has been inquired clearly."
A captain walked in.
"Say" Dio's eyes moved, and his voice was solemn.
"There is no trace of an ambush by an Eastern Demon on the left or right" "It's clear" "We sent 8,000 soldiers to inquire around, and also asked the local imperial people to cooperate, absolutely accurate, if there is a large army ambush left and right, there must be traces, it is impossible that there are no traces at all" "Good" Dio nodded and said, "You go down, continue to stare at it, and the safety of the left and right wings is incomparably guaranteed."
"Obedience" The captain nodded and walked away.
"Could it be that the Eastern Demon has already withdrawn" Vickers asked with a frown.
"It's possible," said Theo, "they are in a hurry to break out, they should not stay and delay time, it seems that we are too cautious, but delay the time of pursuit" "Newspaper" "Enter" "Your Excellency General, Narhi has completed his mission and has come to restore his life" "Say" "The Devil of the East is still in the castle" "How many troops" "Your Excellency General, the spies have let them shoot and kill, we don't dare to approach, but I venture to approach from the trail, from a distance, at least a hundred thousand, how many are still in the city, but I don't know" "They were not in a hurry to leave, but gathered their troops in the city, but gave up the geographical advantage of the two wings, which was reconciliation" The two main generals were a little confused.
"Anyway, now that the news is clear, we have to move" Vickers whispered, "Tentatively attack to see if their forces are the main force" "Hmm" Dio nodded, they weren't allowed to spend any time.
After all, if they can't confirm the main force of him, it will not be easy for the main force of Chaks to turn around and pursue.
The army marched forward.
Among the castles of Ravanna.
Sun Quan stood at the head of the city with a gun in armor, looking into the distance, looking at the beautiful scenery outside the city.
"Your Majesty, you haven't had a good rest for a few days, although this castle is not as good as Miyagi, but it is also a comfortable place, it is better to go and rest" Zhuge Jin said in a low voice: "They should be able to solve this battle Lu Bu" "Even if I find a comfortable place to lie down, do you think I will still be able to sleep at this moment?"
Sun Quan shook his head: "I don't have such a heartless heart, I am indeed very tired, but as long as I stand here, even if I can only watch from afar, maybe my heart can be a little more stable." ” The battlefield has always been a cruel place, as long as there is a battlefield, it is all bloody and bloody.
But sometimes it's also a place where people can feel at ease.
The current Sun Quan, not to say that he is a frightened bird, but he has also been frightened, and he has been fighting the world for more than ten years, and I am afraid that this battle makes him feel the closest to death.
So he needs to stand on the battlefield, not only to calm the heart of a soldier, but also to comfort his own heart of fear.
"Your Majesty is the Supreme of the Ninety-Five, and he is the Son of Wu" Ma Chao was dressed in a military uniform, holding a tiger's head and a golden gun, his tiger eyes flashed, and he was majestic, but he spoke very beautifully, and said: "The world is Your Majesty's, the earth is the bed, the sky is the quilt, there is a lot of annoyance, why not feel at ease, can Your Majesty not believe in the last general, the last general wants His Majesty to make a military order, as long as the last general still has a breath, it will not let Your Majesty be hurt in the slightest, if they want Your Majesty's life, they need to step on my corpse" "Meng Qi" Sun Quan heard this, and looked at Ma Chao with eyes: "Actually, you should complain about me, but I sent you to a battlefield with a dangerous future." ” "How can Ma Chao be afraid of the battlefield" Ma Chao was indifferent: "Maybe I still miss the prosperous years of Liangguo, but I have never complained to Your Majesty, I can fight Rome in this life, I can expand the territory of the Central Plains for thousands of miles, enough to leave a name in history, why am I afraid of life and death?"
"That's a good thing to say" Sun Quan raised his head, and his amber eyes stared ahead: "Now that you have left a name in history, why are you afraid of life and death?"
If he can enter the city of Rome, even if he fails, it will be a very heavy stroke in history, much more powerful than that Genghis Khan.
Although he was not able to complete his supreme ambition and hegemony, if he was afraid of life and death because of this, it would not be his Sun Zhongmou's style.
Da-da-da-da Outside the city, the Roman army has arrived, and although the pace of hundreds of thousands of troops is chaotic, it is very heavy, so heavy that it can beat the earth into a drum, in fact, it is surging, and the killing intent rises to the sky, like the waves of the sea, covering it. t1706231537:
