Britain.
Hadrian's Wall.
On the city wall, William and Chacks stood side by side, looking ahead, and there was not much joy in their expressions, but a deep sense of worry.
"Although we won this battle, we have an absolute advantage, and in terms of casualties, we are basically on par with the Eastern Demons, which is a shame for the imperial soldiers."
Chacks' face was as dark as water, and his voice was as cold as ice.
After he brazenly took Sergei, the Romans immediately swung their troops north, forced their way across the strait, and fought slowly with speed.
The Eastern Wu army stationed in Britain was stunned.
In order to save the remnants of the Flame Legion, he chose to abandon Britain, was forced to withdraw his troops to the Atlantic, and handed over the British state in his hands.
However, although the Roman army was victorious, it was sniped by Zang Ba on Hadrian's Wall and suffered heavy casualties.
"We fought this battle very lucky, if we hadn't taken the Eastern Demon by surprise and given them enough time to prepare, we might not have been able to win, although we have won the British Province now, but I am afraid that we will also meet the stormy counterattack of the Eastern Demon next."
William's voice was deep and he said coldly.
The tenacious fighting spirit of the Eastern Demon made him feel a strong sense of unease.
Although this battle was victorious, he was still worried that this victory was only short-lived, and if he could not keep this victory, the battle that the Roman army took the initiative to provoke would be a joke, a big joke.
"Hmm" When Chucks heard this, Xiao Leng's face condensed a touch of fighting intent, nodded, and said in a deep voice: "Their unwillingness was originally expected, if we want to keep Britain, the next thing is a bloody battle."
Although they successfully drove the army of the Eastern Demons out of the territory of the British Province in this battle, he did not believe that the Eastern Demons would give up the British Province so smoothly.
Next, the Wu army will inevitably counterattack fiercely, and whether the Roman soldiers can block the attack of the Wu army is the key.
"William, you're on your own."
Chucks patted him on the shoulder and said in a deep voice: "I can't continue to stay in the northwest, the situation in the imperial capital city has changed somewhat, I need to return to the town, and I also need to patrol the eastern battlefield to avoid the easterners from attacking us on the eastern battlefield."
"Your Excellency, General, please believe me, I can stop them" William's ice-blue eyes flashed with a touch of ruthlessness, and there was confidence in his words, as well as a trace of ferocity in the afterlife.
"I left the Italian Legion behind" Chax said: "But the Gallic Legion, as well as the Alpha Legion, I have to take it away, among the local princes, in addition to the Gallic Governor, there are only the Greek Governor, the Thracian Governor, and the Spanish Governor have a strong influence, since we have moved, we must move to the end, and then I will move Greece" "Greece" "That's right, Greece" "But Greece is currently a front-running battlefield" "It is precisely because of this that I want to take back Greece, otherwise if we go to war with the East, Greece will not be able to stand it" "Now I have to concentrate on dealing with the counterattack of the Eastern Devil, Greece, I'm afraid I can't help much" "As long as you stabilize the northwest, you will already help me" Chucks's eyes flashed with cold killing intent: "The Eastern Devil is the great enemy of my Roman Empire, as long as you can block their attack and fight for me, within three years, I will definitely be able to clean up the turmoil in the empire."
"Please rest assured, Your Excellency, as long as I, William, do not die, they will never cross the British Province to the south."
William said resolutely.
In the afternoon of the same day, Chacks returned to the province of Gaul.
"Your Excellency, how to deal with Sergey" "What do you think?"
said Chaks, his eyes lit up, and he glanced at An'er, asking rhetorically.
"Don't kill, 100,000 Gallic soldiers are a very important source of soldiers, killing him will also hurt the morale of the army, and the gains outweigh the losses, but you can't let go, and letting them go is equivalent to letting the tiger go back to the mountain."
An'er frowned: "This makes us embarrassed" "Don't be embarrassed" Chucks smiled indifferently.
"Your Excellency the General has already figured out what to do with him" "Don't think about it" Chaks's calm and watery face made people feel a little incomprehensibly gloomy: "We are not the emperor of the empire, and it is still up to Your Majesty to decide on the handling of a governor, and this matter will be left to Your Majesty."
"Leave it to Your Majesty" An Er's eyes suddenly lit up: "Wonderful" This is a hot potato, and handing over this hot potato to Caracalla will inevitably put Caracalla in a dilemma, so that Caracalla will not have to be so tossed.
These people are bent on the outside world, racking their brains to deal with the enemy from the east, but Caracalla has been dragging his feet, although it can't affect their layout, but after all, it makes them unhappy.
"After I leave the Northwest, your eyes will be fixed on the Northwest" Chucks returned to the topic and said: "I have a hunch that in the next few years, Britain will be the place where we will compete with the Eastern Devils, and this will definitely be a place full of corpses."
"Your Excellency the General thinks that the Eastern Devil will crush the heavy forces here" An Er frowned, the main force of the Wu army has always been in the east, and the battlefield in the west is just a local battlefield.
"I don't know, but it's possible" "I'll let the Grim Reaper spy keep an eye on the Northwest Battlefield" Ahn'er's face became solemn.
On the western sea, not far from the British mainland, one by one warships floated from the horizon and were heading towards the British mainland.
"Report to the Commander-in-Chief, there is a Roman fleet on the sea ahead" "Yellow Cover" "The Last Will Be" "Send out the scout ship to investigate the situation ahead, I want to find out the strength of the Roman army on the sea" He Qi looked into the distance, and his voice was cold.
"No" Huang Gai took the order and left.
"Commander-in-Chief" Zang Ba, whose face was a little pale, came out of the cabin and saluted He Qi.
"Your injuries haven't healed, what are you doing here" He Qi glanced at him and frowned.
"Commander-in-chief, I want to be a vanguard and personally lead the daredevils to land" Zang Ba gritted his teeth.
"I can understand your current mood, but I will never allow you to take your life seriously" He Qi's expression was cold, he looked at Zang Ba and said: "What you want now is cultivation, I hope you can recover as soon as possible, our army needs a sharp and incomparably sharp spear head" The Battle of Britain, because he failed to send reinforcements, caused the entire Flame Legion to be almost wiped out, which was a knot in He Qi's heart.
In this battle, the Flame Legion has suffered nearly seventy percent casualties, and less than thirty percent have survived to leave Britain.
Zang Ba also escaped death before he picked up a life.
But that battle almost knocked out all his spirits.
So he couldn't wait to get back to the battlefield.
"The subordinates are just unwilling" Zang Ba pleaded and said: "What Britain lost in my hands should be let me get it back" "It's not you, it's me" He Qi put his hands behind his back, his face was indifferent, but a pair of cold eyes flashed with this faint killing intent: "I didn't expect the Roman army to act so quickly, judging the situation, resulting in the casualties of the Flame Legion in this battle, even if someone should be responsible, this person should be me, not you" After the end of the war, he pulled the main forces of the Third Theater back to the Americas and Indians to recuperate, and there was a miscalculation in the eyes of the British defense line, which was a fatal mistake.

This mistake also cost him dearly.
The sudden dispatch of the Roman army and the loss of Britain were like a resounding slap in the face.
"Commander-in-Chief, the scout is back" "What's going on?"
"At least one Roman legion, the strength is very strong, they are backed by the British land, forming a large array of water and land defense, but the Jiangdong legion can't find a place to break through" Huang Gai arched his hand and said.
"The breakthrough is not spoken, it is fought" He Qi ordered: "Immediately send two armies as the vanguard army to test the ships of the following Roman army" "No" Huang Gai personally led his troops away.
The war began in the afternoon.
The attack of the Wu army was expected by the Roman army, and the Italian legion was the old navy of the Roman Empire, the most elite naval soldiers and horses, and their response could be described as sophisticated.
In the face of the strong attack of the Wu army, they took it step by step, stabilized their footsteps, relied on the support on this coast, and counterattacked step by step, but they repelled the attacking Wu army three times.
After three days of tentative battles, the Wu navy withdrew.
In a place where the sea was rough and choppy, the Sea Shark Legion and the Jiangdong Legion formed a movable war fortress on this endless sea.
At sunset, Huang Gai led his troops back, He walked onto the building where the headquarters of the Third Theater of Operations was located, and reported to He Qi: "Commander-in-chief, in the past three days, I have personally led my troops, eight attacks, four times I pretended to attack too much, and the lone army went deep, but the Romans were not fooled, this time the Roman army made it clear that they wanted to defend to the death, they were ready to spend time with us in Britain, I have sent troops from the flanks and tried several times, but I could not lure them into battle, and my subordinates were incompetent."
"It's not that you're incompetent, it's their strategic deployment" He Qi's body was as straight as a spear, standing in front of a sand table, his eyes stared at the terrain of this sand table: "The terrain of Britain is surrounded by the sea on all sides, and the southeast is separated from the Roman Empire by the strait, which is not a well-defended place, if we want to attack, it is not difficult, after the Roman army took Britain, but did not take the initiative to fight, but put on this formation, but it is a bit like a dog skin plaster, but it makes a certain family embarrassed" The Roman army clearly wanted to tell the Wu army that they would play a defensive strategy next.
The so-called defense is to hold back the momentum of the Wu army's offensive, thwart the momentum of the Wu army's offensive, and drag the war down.
"Commander-in-Chief, or let the Sea Shark Legion attack from the east" Zhang Yan took a step forward and said in a deep voice.
They are now on the western coast of the battlefield, and if they can attack from the east, they may be able to open up a situation.
"No" He Qi shook his head: "The Roman army will not give us this chance, if we take the initiative to detour to the east, we may even fall into the trap and enter their ambush circle" "So can we just wait here now?"
"Of course not" He Qi raised his head, and his eyes burst out with a fierce light: "Your Majesty has made an order, at any cost, it is necessary to recapture the British Province, the imperial court's troop transport ships have transported the soldiers of the War Elephant Legion, we have reinforcements, this battle must strike first, not afraid of casualties, not afraid of a big battle of both defeats" "The commander-in-chief must push through" "Right" "Will this make our soldiers suffer more casualties?"
"I also hope that the soldiers under my command can come down alive from the battlefield, but war is to pay, I am not afraid of sacrifice, and my soldiers cannot be afraid of sacrifice, this battle must use blood to make up for our dereliction of duty in the third war zone" He Qi said categorically.
"The last general and others will strictly follow the orders of the commander-in-chief and never let the third theater of operations be disgraced" The generals bowed their heads and saluted respectfully to the body of He Qi.
The Wu army gathered the main forces of the two major armies, the Jiangdong Army and the Sea Shark Army, and began to counterattack Britain, hoping to recapture Britain with this battle.
But William was also ready for a bloody battle.
The armies of both sides began to enter the desperate moment of the meat grinder.
"Kill" "Azi No. 7 warship, hit me and knock their warship away" "Bump, slam, knock the warship between them out of the way, and then go in and break up the warship that formed their war, and open the way" "Vanguard, ready for landing" "Archers, cover the beginning of the landing of the vanguard army" The shouts of the soldiers of the Wu army seemed to be a beautiful scenery on the warship, which made the morale of the soldiers continue to grow, making them more and more courageous the more they fight.
"Block" "Can't retreat, never retreat" "Knights of the Empire, show your dignity as water knights, you must stop them" "Damn, our warships are not as good as theirs, many warships were sunk in the collision, this military formation can't be stopped, the Italian Second Army, immediately changed the formation, semi-circular chain defense formation" “” The soldiers of the Roman army also went forward one after another to block the attack of the Wu army.
On the coast, in the midst of a large command battalion.
William was pacing back and forth, anxiously awaiting the situation of the battle at sea.
"Newspaper" "Come in" "Your Excellency, the Eastern Devil has broken through our interception at sea, the Italian Legion has destroyed many warships, and they ask for the withdrawal of their troops" "Let them pull down and withdraw into the strait" The herald nodded and left.
After William instructed the heralds, he immediately shouted to the guards on the left and right: "Heron, Ed, you immediately pass my military order, let the Pannonian Legion and the Thracian Legion gather, we can't hold their attack at sea, then we will meet the Eastern Demon here" "No" The two guards immediately went to give the order.
Knock knock Drums are beating, and the east wind is blowing.
The Roman soldiers began to gather in the sound of drums, forming a phalanx of defense or attack, taking the northwest of Britain as the battlefield, and began to arrange this battlefield in advance. t1706231537:
