"Your Excellency, Commander, rest assured, Ben will not let Diocletian's army come to you.
Zhang Liao said.
In fact, according to Wu Shun's plan, after withstanding the pressure of the Roman army, the Suzaku Legion could counterattack with the new Roman army recruited by Abdul.
However, Zhang Liao considered that the new Roman army had not been formed long ago, and it was not yet able to carry out his tactical orders well.
Therefore, Zhang Liao was ready to take the new Roman army to fight a few more defensive battles with the Roman army of Diocletian, so that those recruits with enthusiasm could become familiar with the cruelty of the battlefield as soon as possible.
"General Zhang Liao, I still have to go to the Mediterranean Sea to report the military situation to the Emperor Taishang, I have to leave first, and the new army will get rid of the general."
Abdul said.
"The commander is light, and there is a general guarding this place, so it can be guaranteed."
Zhang Liaodao.
In the following period, Diocletian led the Roman army to launch a series of fierce attacks on the new army's gathering place, but in Zhang Liao's arrangement, the new army faced several threats and was relieved several times.
Although many new soldiers were lost, Diocletian's army also suffered considerable losses.
Unable to take the new army, and afraid of the counterattack of the Suzaku army, coupled with the defeat of the barbarian army, Diocletian could only retreat first, divide his troops to guard various important places, control the richest places in Rome, and use all the limited resources to enhance military strength.
At present, the Roman Empire has been divided into three factions: One was a staunch supporter of Diocletian, who saw Diocletian as a hero of Rome and was willing to do everything in his power to help Diocletian defeat Abdul.
The other is the faction that has fallen to Abdul, and the people or families in this faction have openly and secretly contacted Abdul and provided their own resources to make Abdul's strength continue to grow.
Their demand is that after Abdul takes power, he can give them wealth.
In addition to Diocletian's and Abdul's supporters, there is another group of people who choose neutrality, they only have Rome in their hearts, and as long as Rome is not destroyed, Diocletian and Abdul can be tossed as much as they want.
If their strength allows, they will also force a truce between the two men and restore peace to Rome.
It's just that in the current situation, the centrist faction is not welcomed, and is even attacked by the other two factions.
There are always those who, for one reason or another, turn to one of the people who are fighting.
Diocletian's actions brought the war to a temporary halt, and the Roman army took control of all parts of the country and did not continue to attack.
Abdull, who successfully withstood the pressure, saw that there was an opportunity, and the starry night begged to see Wu Shun, and got Wu Shun's approval, and the Vermilion Bird Legion, under the leadership of Dongfang Qiang, began to ration Abdul for counterattack.
In fact, it is said that it is Abdul counterattack, and it is better to say that Zhang Liao led the new army to counterattack After several major battles, the new Roman soldiers were trained, and their ability to recognize and execute tactics was greatly improved.
At the beginning of the counterattack, Zhang Liao did not ask the Suzaku army to help, but let the Romans attack the castle on their own.
This is also what Wu Shun means, how strong Abdul is, it can be seen from this counterattack.
In order to make Abdul more popular, the Vermilion Bird Legion did not participate in the initial battle, and Dongfang Qiang just took the Suzaku Legion to hang far behind the new army to give them a kind of centering power.
The initial counteroffensive did not go well, but under the command of Zhang Liao, some victories were achieved.
Seized some of the places that Diocletian had previously controlled.
The continuation of the war had a relatively large impact on Rome, and the biggest impact was the soaring price of goods.
Because the war has been fought, the production of various industries in Rome has been seriously affected, all kinds of materials are scarce, and the social economy is on the verge of collapse In turmoil in Rome, Diocletian's approval ratings fell badly, and as the current monarch of Rome, he could neither turn the tide and defeat Abdel nor introduce new measures to stabilize Rome's internal economy.
The Roman people are now having no last meal, and many have fled to the area controlled by Abdul with their families in order to survive.
Because in the area controlled by Abdul, hungry civilians can still receive food that can satisfy their stomachs every day.
In the midst of the turmoil, Abdul gave the Roman commoners a hope of survival.
Of course, this hope was also given by Wu Shun as reminded him, and the food was of course transported by the Central Plains merchant ship.
With Wu Shun's unsparing funding, Abdul stubbornly won a large wave of popular favor.
After all, in the area controlled by Diocletian, such a thing as distributing rations had never happened.
In the army, food was extremely scarce, and Diocletian was no longer in the mood to care about the life and death of civilians.
However, he also knew that if this situation continued, his situation would become more and more difficult, and the soldiers in the army, they also had family and friends, and if they knew that Diocletian didn't care about the lives of their family and friends, what reason did they have to continue to work hard for Diocletian The situation was grim, forcing Diocletian to fight a decisive battle first But as he prepared for the decisive battle, Abdul withdrew his claws and stopped attacking the castle where the Roman army was stationed.
Moving from offensive to defensive, the new Roman army completed the task of arming in a very short time.
In order to strengthen the defensive ability of the new army, Dongfang Qiang did not sit idly by this time, and he sent the Suzaku Legion to various strongholds to assist the new army in defense.
With the addition of the Suzaku Legion, the new Roman army for unknown reasons seemed full of confidence.
The Central Plains people are very strong and go deep into their hearts They knew that every victory in a battle came from General Zhang Liao's clever tactical arrangements and wise command to enter the field.
They often trade small losses for big wins In the long run, the new Roman soldiers formed a dependence on Zhang Liao in their hearts As long as Zhang Liao appeared in the command position, they would be high-spirited and full of confidence Now, General Zhang Liao's immediate boss, General Dongfang, has also arrived, and the new sergeants have confidence in the victory of the Roman army's attack.
Dongfang Qiang's life, these New Army soldiers are clear.
Dongfang Qiang has never lost a battle since he followed the Emperor Taishang of the Central Plains, and once the entire army was almost wiped out, but finally survived.
With such a general to help in the war, it is impossible to say that it is not enthusiastic.

Diocletian, who was swayed by the situation, reorganized the attack.
At first, he divided his troops to advance, but unfortunately, under the fire of the Suzaku Legion, his men suffered heavy casualties.
In the end, Diocletian had no choice but to concentrate his forces and attack selectively, so that there were really underprepared strongholds that were overcome.
However, Zhang Liao then formulated a new battle plan, and the new army avoided the surprise attack of the Roman army and went around to the rear to attack.
Disrupt Diocletian's rear so that he cannot fight at the front with peace of mind.
The overall strength of the decisive battle on Abdul's side was not enough, if it was because of the help of the Central Plains army that he won the victory over Diocletian, Wu Shun was worried that Abdul would not be able to convince the public when he became the Roman monarch.
Abdul also hoped that he would be able to make a statement in the future, so he followed Wu Shun's advice and took out all the resources to strengthen the army As long as the strength of the army under his command is strengthened, and the Central Plains army provides the pull, Abdul can personally lead the troops to defeat Diocletian and become the hero of Rome For this purpose, Abdul also worked hard, and he used all the resources that he could use, and all the resources that could be mobilized were mobilized, and all the people who could fight were incorporated into the new army and fought for the new Rome.
Abdul's moves look insane, like a gambler who is ready to play big.
Many centrists shook their heads when they saw Abdul so crazy, a crazy person, if he became the monarch of Rome, it was definitely not a good thing.
Actually, they are not Abdul, and without the current perspective of Abdul, they do not understand why Abdul is crazy With Wu Shun standing behind, this competition is destined to win, and the game of steady win is naturally the bigger the bet, the more you earn In half a year, Abdull's new army has been greatly improved, and the weapons they are now equipped with are all customized through the Central Plains, produced by the Ministry of Industry of Shu State, and must be a number of high-quality products Equipped with new weapons, the combat effectiveness of the new Roman army has been greatly improved, and when encountering a Roman army of the same size, it can basically suppress the opponent.
Half a year ago, Abdul borrowed 10 teachers from the former Yizhou Military Academy from the Central Plains and trained a large number of local military talents in the army.
With tactical guidance in combat, as long as you don't command indiscriminately during the engagement, the victory rate will be much higher than that of fierce attacks.
Zhang Liao is a senior general in the Central Plains, and Abdul knows that he can't keep it, so if his army wants to maintain such strong combat effectiveness, it must first understand the tactical thinking of the Central Plains people.
Wu Shun didn't have the idea of cherishing himself, and he was basically satisfied with Abdul's plea for enhancing his strength, and with the current strength of the Central Plains, the two Romes combined were not enough to fight.
The secret guard sent an urgent secret guard, saying that the Ministry of Engineering had designed Wu Shunyao's tank, but all functional indicators needed to be strictly tested before it would be reported.
An evolved version of the tank, the protagonist of the war on land, the tank is about to be introduced.
"Commander Abdul, how come you busy man have time to come to me today?"
In the cabin of the 01 flagship, Wu Shun greeted him warmly.
"Honorable Emperor, don't you know, Diocletian has gone crazy before him, he has gathered almost all the forces of Rome, ready to annihilate us in one fell swoop."
Abdul exaggerated.
"Oh, but with the combat power of the new army under the command, I am no longer afraid of Diocletian's army," Wu Shun said.
"Yes, I don't need to be afraid of that madman Diocletian in my current strength, but if it's going to be a decisive battle, I'd like to hear your advice."
Abdul laughed.
He didn't come as simple as listening to advice, he wanted a word from Wu Shun.
"The decisive battle, since Diocletian is ready, then the commander doesn't have to be timid, and the next thing is that as for the support, Dongfang Qiang will arrange it."
Wu Shundao.
When Abdul came, he just wanted to get a sentence about the Central Plains army's participation in the war.
Now that Wu Shun has said so, then at least the Vermilion Bird Legion will participate in the war.
"Abdul thank you very much for your friendship, Honorable Emperor" Abdul can be said to be complacent now, but he knows that everything he has been given by Wu Shun, so he is really very polite to Wu Shun.
"When are you going to go to war?"
Wu Shun asked again.
"Diocletian sent the final battle book first, and the date is a month later."
Abdul replied.
"Your Excellency Commander, before the decisive battle, you must pay strict attention to the convenient arrangements, don't give the enemy any opportunity to take advantage of, what to do, you can discuss with Dongfang Qiang and Zhang Liao, as for the threat at sea, General Gan Ning and the Jiaolong fleet will help you clear it."
In order for Abdul to win the war, the Central Plains army can be regarded as benevolent and righteous, both hard and laborious The decisive battle was about to begin, and some of Diocletian's small actions continued, intending to cause civil strife in the Apdul camp, but with Wu Shun's early prevention, Diocletian's small actions did not work.
On the contrary, rumors spread on his own side, and people were panicked for a while.
Sitting on the throne, Diocletian had a hollow eye, he was still the most powerful man in Rome, and this time, he did everything he could to eradicate Abdul Several of his daughters were married in order to win over the barbarian subordinates, and in order to stabilize the situation in the country, his sons made great sacrifices, and even his queen was working hard for the glory of their Diocletian family "Abdul, this time, either you die or I die, this is a battle of kings, the winner is king," Diocletian said to himself.
A month passed quickly in a tense schedule.
In the Mediterranean, the dragon fleet and the Roman navy acted together, and all ships in the sea had to dock immediately, and before the decisive battle was over, if they found that the ships had gone to sea without permission, for any reason, they would be sunk immediately.
This is the first time that Abdul has issued such a draconian order.
Seeing this order, the people of Rome also knew that the great war that would determine the future direction of Rome was about to begin As soon as the decisive battle came, Abdul and Diocletian personally led the elite to the decisive battle It was the most glorious moment for the Romans Because this is the process of the birth of a king Whether Diocletian will remain at Roma first or whether Abdul will replace him will depend on this battle between the elites of the two sides.
There can be no outsiders on the main battlefield.
This decisive battle is actually more like a duel between Abdul and Diocletian, and the one who will win in the end is the king of Rome Calling the king in this way was the way the Romans thought of it Outside of the main battlefield, there will of course be battles, but these battles will have little impact on the outcome.
Except, of course, one place.
In the Mediterranean, at the mouth of the Red Sea, fleets rushed into the canals and engaged in fierce battles with the Roman navy defending there.

The enemy was menacing, and the Jiaolong fleet sent two warships to support The barbarian army pressed on the Central Plains army again, and the artillery array of the Vermilion Bird Legion consumed tens of thousands of shells every day The Suzaku Legion garrison was attacked by an unknown army, and Zhang Liao led his troops to repel the invading enemy "Emperor Tai, when will our legion arrive" On the flagship, Gan Ning asked.
"When they are united, our legion will arrive."
Wu Shun smiled mysteriously
