Thrace City.
On the top of the Sifang City, hunting and flying in the wind are the golden dragon battle flags representing the Great Wu Dynasty, which tell all the Roman people in the city that this city has been conquered by the Wu people from the far east.
This place was broken by the main force of the Eastern Theater of Operations, but after the main force led by Pan Feng broke through here, they immediately chose to go north and continue to attack the city.
The Central Army and the Praetorian Guard of the Imperial Court of the Wu Army are now stationed here.
The Central Army is the strongest corps that gathers the strength of the navy and army, with about 200,000 soldiers and horses, and in addition to the five main armies, there are also field artillery troops and Tianpeng Army, which can be called the strongest combat effectiveness in the army.
The Praetorian Guard, which had been wiped out in the first war in Greece, was later rebuilt by the imperial court, with Sun Quan's cousin Xu Kun as the commander, and selected the elite from each army, with not many soldiers and horses, and 50,000 troops, all of whom were elite, and their combat effectiveness was comparable to that of 100,000 troops.
The Central Army and the Praetorian Guard have a total of more than 200,000 main forces, and the military camps are distributed in three places, the first is on a mountain peak in the eastern suburbs, which is the main force of the Central Army, the second is on the school field in the inner city of the city, which is the Praetorian Guard, and the third place is the surrounding city wall.
Although the Wu army was an outsider and suffered from the rejection of the city, the army was under heavy pressure, and the swords and axes were added, although some people in the city were malicious, but for the safety of their lives, they did not dare to move at all.
This kept the city of Thrace peaceful for several days.
Of course, the Wu army knew that this was just an illusion, and under the peace, the undercurrent was surging, and many people were waiting for the imperial army to turn back, and when the Wu army was defeated, they would give them a hard blow.
On the city wall, Sun Quan wore a dragon-patterned brocade robe, raised his head and a jasper crown, and his figure was reflected in the sun, walking by the soldiers guarding the city wall.
"Shiyuan, we've been in the city for a few days."
He walked through the city wall step by step, and suddenly stopped, his eyes swept over, and he looked condescendingly at the scenery inside and outside the city.
"It's been three days since I returned to Your Majesty" Pang Tong heard this, and hurriedly stepped forward to answer his words.
"They haven't moved yet" Sun Quan squinted slightly, and asked again in a deep voice.
They asked the Roman army.
As a bait, at this time, the news of himself had already spread, but the Roman army was a little calm, and now there was no trace of it, which made his heart a little irritable.
"Your Majesty, at present, whether it is the scouts in the army or the spies of the brocade guard, they have not found any trace of the Roman army for the time being, they are hiding, although the soldiers and horses are hundreds of thousands and nearly a million, but the Thracian province is so large, investing tens of millions of troops, such as entering the sea, can not stir up any waves, they themselves are familiar with every inch of the terrain here, if they want to avoid us, it is difficult for us to find them" Pang Tong said in a low voice: "And this Roman army's chief general Chax seems to be very cautious in doing things, he may not dare to take the initiative to attack us at this time."
"Shiyuan, you don't believe Zhuge Liang" Sun Quan turned his head and looked at him with some playfulness.
"Your Majesty, I believe in Zhuge Liang, but his judgment of Zhuge Liang is not accurate in everything" Pang Tong sneered.
He still has some mustard Zhuge Liang made this strategic deployment, and using Sun Quan's order as a bait has always been something that he finds difficult to accept.
"I also think so, he is a human being and not a god after all, but this time, I trust his judgment and am willing to believe that his plan can succeed perfectly" Sun Quan smiled and said.
"Why" Pang Tong was surprised, Sun Quan was also suspicious, and rarely believed in a person like this.
"What I believe is not him, it is my judgment and reason, let's put it this way, if the Lord of Rome is replaced by you, you have another chance to capture the thief and capture the king, and kill me, will you choose to take the risk" Sun Quan asked rhetorically.
"This" When Pang Tong heard this, he first thought about it, and then replied: "The minister doesn't want to say anything against his will, if there is a chance, even if there is a 1 in 10,000 chance, I should fight for it."
"Compare hearts to hearts, and so will they" Sun Quan said: "So what we have to do now is just to wait for the rabbit."
"But if all their forces are pressed, there are the main forces of the four legions, if we add the help of those people inside Thracian City, we may not be able to stop three days" Pang Tong said hatefully: "Put Your Majesty to a dangerous place, even if this battle can be successful, he Zhuge Kongming should die" "What you considered, I also considered" Sun Quan's eyes narrowed slightly, a touch of essence skimmed, and his voice was low, and he said: "I'm not worried, this battle is just to monitor the combat effectiveness of the Central Army, whether all new weapons can be equipped in the army in the future, and we have to see how the army equipped with new weapons performs."
Among the Wu army, there were as many as four legions equipped with new weapons.
The Central Legion and the Skeleton Legion, these two legions are the two legions with the strongest combat effectiveness in the imperial court at present, especially the Central Legion, which gathers the soldiers and horses of various armies and summarizes the strength of the three armies of the sea, land and air forces, and the combat effectiveness exerted is immeasurable.
The other is the Guanzhong Legion, as well as the Flying Tiger Legion.
Originally, the initial decision was to support the replacement of equipment by the three legions, but in the end, Sun Quan still decided to transfer two armies from the Guanzhong Legion, and then two armies from the Flying Tiger Legion, so as to replace the equipment.
In the final analysis, he was somewhat jealous of the Guanzhong Legion of the Guanzhong soldiers.
Of course, Sun Quan already has the idea of replacing the equipment and weapons of the whole army and completely entering the hot weapons from the era of cold weapons, but this requires the national strength to be further strengthened and there is enough background to change the outfit, and the other point is that he is the only one who understands that the so-called detection between hot weapons and cold weapons, he needs to let the world prove that the army equipped with hot weapons can far surpass the army with cold weapons, which is very important.
And now is a great opportunity.
The performance of the Central Army in this battle was crucial to the future of the Wu army.
"Your Majesty is so confident in new weapons" Pang Tong was still a little worried: "In the past, we were also equipped with new weapons, but although our combat effectiveness has improved, we can't far surpass the Roman army. ” "In the past, we were equipped with scattered soldiers and horses, not large-scale equipment" Sun Quan shook his head and said softly: "You won't understand the super scene of hundreds of thousands of guns shooting together, the Chinese army is here, I have already been invincible, and I will not repeat the defeat of the past."
He is very confident in this.
Next, Sun Quan didn't want to continue the discussion on this topic, he diverted the topic and asked: "I don't seem to have seen Li Wenyou recently, where has this old yin man gone, and I can't even see his shadow when I am on the front line."
"I haven't heard from him for a long time, I heard that at present, Jinyi Wei is his right-hand man Liao Hao and Mo Cong are presiding, Mo Cong is presiding over the inside, Liao Hao is outside, and the military intelligence is basically managed by Liao Hao."
"Hellly, this old guy won't be plotting anything in secret," a playful smile rose at the corner of Sun Quan's mouth.
"Jin Yiwei's actions are already obscure, and he Li Wenyou has some particularly secret military plans that will not even be reported to the imperial court, so if we want to, we can find his traces, it's difficult."
Pang Tong smiled bitterly and said, "Unless Your Majesty orders him to appear, I will find him."
"Let him go, the more mysterious he is, the more he can surprise us" Sun Quan waved his hand, and then said: "Since Liao Hao is in charge of military intelligence in the Jinyi Guard, you and him must work closely together, and you must maintain a thorough understanding of the battle situation in the Southern Theater and the Western Theater."
"Understood" Pang Tong nodded, and then took the opportunity to report the current situation of the two major station areas: "Your Majesty, the southern theater has been opened, Ju Yi and Zhou Yu led the main force to the west, swept through, but in the province of Africa encountered the imperial army led by Alonso, the main force of the Roman Empire is basically under Chax and William, but Alonso is the symbol of the local princes, the army he leads, are composed of local armies, not elite, but the strength of the troops, with the terrain of the province of Africa, but blocked Ju Yi's footsteps” "In this way, there is actually no progress in the southern theater" "At the moment, it is true, Ju Yi seems to be accumulating strength, and has not launched a high-intensity attack, from all indications, he seems to be more like reconciling the cooperation between the several legions under his command" "Ju Yi is calm and old, I am very relieved of him, and there is also Zhou Gongjin, the army in the Southern Theater, even if it can't make progress, it will not be defeated, but the strategy of an all-out offensive will collapse" Sun Quan's eyes were a little deep, and he sighed: "What I am more worried about is actually the Western Theater of Operations, William Augustus is very difficult to deal with, this fang has been defeated again and again, but he has stood up again and again, the most terrible thing is this kind of general, plus he has the main force of the Imperial Army under his command, and there is another point, He Qi's main force has just cleared the rebellion in the United States and Indians, and the consumption must be a lot, and they may not be able to withstand the high-intensity battle."
"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that you don't need to worry, Commander He and Guo Shangshu are both human beings, they know how to coordinate operations, and they will not fight hard, besides, Guo Shangshu is so strong, in order to stabilize the position of Shangshu in the General Staff Department, and in order to overwhelm the pressure brought to him by Zhou Gongjin and Zhuge Liang, he will definitely do his best to stabilize the record in the Western Theater."

"I hope so" Sun Quan raised his head, put his hands behind his back, looked into the distance, looked at the far west, and said: "As long as the two sides can stabilize the battlefield, I can open the gap from the front, crush the defensive line arranged by the Roman army, and completely collapse the Roman defensive arrangement."
Time passed bit by bit, in the silent waiting, the atmosphere was a little depressing, waiting and waiting, the main force of the Roman army that had not appeared for a long time made Sun Quan a little unbreathable.
Another three days passed.
On this day, the sky was not beautiful, it was gloomy, the light rain was falling, and the whole Thracian city was hazy.
The governor's palace in the city, now requisitioned by the Wu army as Sun Quan's temporary residence, on the left and right of the mansion, is the school field of the Praetorian Guards, and tens of thousands of Praetorian Guards have already been arranged here very strictly.
In a large hall in the governor's palace, Sun Quan is reading the recitals with a pen, and there are many of these recitals sent from China every day.
"Your Majesty, the Governor of Mesopotamia, Counsellor, says that the second shipment of grain and grass from Thrace needs to be extended for ten days."
The report was made by Cao Chong, a staff officer in the wartime staff corps.
Cao Chong took the initiative to ask to go to the battlefield, and finally Sun Quan acquiesced and arranged it in the staff group around him.
In wartime, the staff corps was led by Pang Tong himself, gathered elite staff officers from all sides, and formed a regiment specially set up for Sun Quan to analyze the war reports of all sides, synchronize the news of the three major theaters, and reconcile the rhythm of the marches of all parties.
"Decameron" Sun Quan frowned: "What is the reason?"
"The book said that the batch of grain and grass transported by the Logistics Division from the Nanhai Warehouse was almost wiped out at sea because of the huge wind and waves, and less than one-tenth of the grain and grass arrived at the port of Ctesiphon, and if it was re-transported, it would take at least more than a month, and it was forced to be helpless, and the Logistics Division could only immediately collect grain in the six western states, which took ten days, and this was still the support of Mesopotamia, so that it could collect 100,000 stone of grain in ten days."
"Send them a letter ordering the Logistics Department to continue transporting grain, and in addition, urge Hongzhi to personally escort grain and grass into Byzantium" "No" Cao Chong nodded, took the notebook and turned to leave.
"Your Majesty, if we continue to consume like this, we will be more and more difficult" Pang Tong took the opportunity to interject.
"At the moment we can afford it" Sun Quan said calmly: "Wait a little longer, if the main force of the Roman army is not found within ten days, the original plan will be cancelled immediately, and the second set of strategies will be set by the staff committee, and the Thracian provinces will be fully stationed in the south, and Greece will be connected to the south, and before the winter, the two major provinces of Greece and Thrace will be captured, and the situation in the eastern battlefield of the Roman Empire will collapse."
"No" Pang Tong nodded.
As soon as they finished speaking, a fast horse charged and arrived at the gate of the governor's palace, and the brocade-clothed guards on horseback jumped down, holding the golden order, directly crossed the defense line of the Praetorian Guard, and rushed in.
"Where to Tell the Story" "Jinyiwei Oriental Theater Staff Officer 100 Households Li Ming Concert Report" Lang Lang's voice came in to the footsteps.
"Biography" Sun Quan's eyes lit up slightly.
"Report to Your Majesty, a large Roman army has appeared on the mountain road thirty miles northwest of Thrace," said the brocade-clothed guard after he walked in, bowing his head and bowing his hand.
"Flag, size, strength" "The flag indicates that it is the Guards Legion of the Roman Empire, which is basically a mixture of cavalry and infantry, and their strength is not less than 200,000" "After waiting so long, I almost ran out of patience, and they finally appeared" Sun Quan clenched his fists: "Continue to investigate the surroundings of Thracian City, any news must be reported in time" "Nuo", this brocade guard, took the order and left.
"Shiyuan" "In" "Spread Zhao Yun, Gao Shun, Xu Kun immediately come to see me" Sun Quan slowly stood up, and a battle emanated from his body: "We have been hiding for so long, and it is finally time for them to come forward, and it is time for us to take the initiative."
He's talking about attacking, not defending. t1706231537:
