Qiang Qin

Chapter 466 Balkan Gunpowder Keg

The Qin State in the east is rising like a rising sun.

Its light exudes dazzling brilliance. Under this endless halo, figures such as Han Xin, Zhang Liang, Li Zuoche, and Li Zhongxiang, who have left their mark on history, are using a new look and attitude, Rewriting their lives.

And among these glorious names, Li Yuan's figure is the most shining one among the Big Dipper. Without his guidance, the other constellations will lose their targets to catch up.

Looking at Li Yuan, who was explaining the situation and geography in the west to the generals of the Qin army, Han Xin looked solemn and restless for a long time. From the inside, Han Xin was a very proud person, especially when it came to fighting with troops. Capturing, analyzing the situation of the enemy and ourselves, and grasping the mentality of the enemy generals have all reached the point of perfection.

But in the face of Li Yuan, Han Xin's self-confidence fell to a low point. Xiang Yu, Liu Bang, these momentary heroes, fell like meteors one by one. In front of him, I am afraid there will not be any good fruit to eat.

"King Yan, next, the main goal of your department is to continue to oppress westward, and strive to completely wipe out the Raksha people (Slavs) along the Yenisei River and the Volga River in three years, so as to force these People have to migrate to the west, do you understand?" After Li Yuan talked about the human geography of Europe, he looked at Han Xin with piercing eyes.

"Your Majesty, are you sure you want to expel them instead of destroying them all?" Han Xin asked with doubts on his face.

The result of the expulsion is very likely to leave sequelae. What Qin did when it was strong today may be regarded as an excuse for revenge by other clans in a few years. It is impossible to climb out of the underworld.

Li Yuan nodded: "The decisive battle between Daqin and Rome is not far away. We don't have so much time to pay attention to those backward tribal peoples. At this time, we hope to concentrate all our forces. Although your troops are in the north, King Yan Once the battle is tight, they will be recruited to the southern battlefield at any time."

In history, the Great Migration Movement of Northern European Peoples, which caused the Roman Empire to fall apart, took place more than a hundred years later, and the real promoter, Emperor Wu of Han, was doomed to never appear in this time and space.Therefore, for the future of the people of Great Qin, and to demonstrate the leading position of the Eastern nation, Li Yuan made a move.

"The general will be at your Majesty's orders at any time." Han Xin was excited for a while, and Li Yuan's words of respect for him greatly satisfied Han Xin's self-esteem.

The decisive battle with Rome——.

This was not only Li Yuan's expectation, but also the goal of Han Xin and other Qin army generals. After completing the domestic unification war, the military generals lost their goals for a while.It was Li Yuan who once again aroused their fighting spirit to forge ahead.

With such an understanding, Han Xin's posture has been very correct these years. Although he was appointed as the King of Yan, he has [-] soldiers and horses under his jurisdiction.But after receiving Li Yuan's order to go out again, Han Xin left everything without hesitation, and personally led the army to fight in the ice and snow.

Western Balkan Peninsula.

The ancestral shrine of the Macedonians, on the shore of Lake Ohrid.A seven-day snowfall covered the valleys and hills in this area with a thick layer of white cotton.

Unlike the Romans, who started out by planting olive trees and other oil crops, the Macedonians were better at hunting.The mountainous and rugged terrain, the cold and humid weather, and the originally unpaved roads allowed the Macedonian ancestors to freely live and multiply in this piece of land that belonged to them.

150 years ago, Alexander the Great led his Macedonian people out of the mountains and occupied the Peloponnese peninsula to the south, allowing the Greek city-states that had always looked down on Macedonia to regard them as barbarians to follow their heads and ears. Then, Macedonia The army marched eastward again, annexing the powerful and declining Persian Empire. At the most glorious time, Alexander even marched eastward to South Asia.

If it weren't for the early death of Alexander, this great empire across Europe and Asia might really give the Macedonians an opportunity to grow their nation, but all of this has become hopeless after the death of the great hero.Among the subsequent Macedonian kings, Philip V was considered a very ambitious one, but now, his situation is extremely difficult. The Romans have already attacked the capital city, and Macedonia is about to die.

In the city of Pella.

King Philip V of Macedon was frowning. The sudden battle launched by the Qin army in Constantinople had not spread to the west coast due to the weather and terrain.

The betrayal of the Thracians and the wait-and-see of the Greeks made Philip V feel deeply desperate. Where are the reinforcements?Counting around, the army of the ally Ptolemaic Kingdom is far away on the other side of the Mediterranean Sea. When they can arrive, not only depends on the attitude of the other party, but also depends on whether the sea allows it.

At this time, although sea voyages on the eastern coast of the Mediterranean Sea were relatively common, their timeliness and safety could not be fully guaranteed. Considering the complexity of transporting troops by sea, it was hard to say whether Ptolemy Pharaoh would agree to support them.

As for the Qin people?

Philip V had great hopes at the beginning, and perhaps made a bunch of empty promises, but almost two months have passed, and according to the messenger's report, the Qin people were training their troops on the Anatolian Peninsula. It is very powerful, but there are almost no substantive actions.

In mid-December, under the strong lobbying of the Macedonian envoys, a small army of less than 3000 people crossed the sea and landed, but now the Thracians rebelled, and the fate of this small army of the Qin Army is probably destroyed here. The mountains are deep.

——.

Trapped in the city, Philip V, who had no information, was in despair.And the mood of Scipio, the commander of the Roman army who surrounded him, was not much better.

Persistence is victory!

This sentence, applied to the [-] Roman soldiers who marched eastward, could not have been more appropriate.The Roman army, which benefited from Scipio's unexpected tactics at the beginning of the war, went smoothly, but now due to the obstruction of the rear consul Fabian, the Roman army gradually lost its initial vigor, and the bad weather made it even worse. The Romans in the outskirts of Pella were miserable.

The Macedonians were trapped in the isolated city.

Philip V didn't have the courage to go out of the city. He was like a tortoise with its head shrunken, and the Romans couldn't find a chance to fight him if they wanted to fight him.

Sinosafari.

This fortress is now an important supply point for the Roman army's rear, and Scipio's central army was located here.

"Damn the yellow-skinned monkey, why did you jump out at this time, and those Thracian idiots, who can't even defend the city, are really stupid." The Roman commander Scipio cursed with a low face.

His expression was as thick as the weather of this month. The siege of the Macedonian capital had lasted for two full months. The Macedonian defenders in Pella were dying little by little. , Philip V's so-called allies also began to waver one by one.

Victory is just around the corner.

Just add a little more force and push it hard.But at this critical moment, Scipio heard the news that Constantinople had fallen and was occupied by the Qin army.

"General, those Thracians reported that the Qin people used a strange weapon that could make a loud noise, and the city wall was blown down almost instantly. Does this mean that the Qin people really have something in their hands that we don't know about?" New weapons?" A burly man beside Scipio said.

"Petus, do you know what you are talking about? New weapons? How is this possible? With the wisdom of my Great Rome, it is impossible to invent anything that can collapse the bluestone city walls at once. This is clearly those thunders. It was the Si barbarians who underestimated the enemy that allowed the Qin people to take advantage of the loophole." Among the Roman generals, most of them were confident.The strong man named Peterus obviously belongs to the minority.

"Petus, in order to confirm your guess, now, this general orders you to withdraw [-] soldiers from the city of Pella, and then detour around Lake Ohrid to meet the Qin people, how about it?" West Pia's voice sounded, overwhelming the chaotic Roman generals.

"The last general is going to summon the soldiers. I, Peterus, will not disappoint the general." The strong man tightened his expression and ordered loudly.

Scipio nodded, silently watching the figure of Peterus leave.Scipio wanted to believe the doubting voices of the Roman generals, but deep in his heart, it seemed that there was a voice calling out to him, all this is true, and what the Thracian said is true .

Peterus is a brave general he trusts. The [-] soldiers under his command are composed of Gauls from France, and their combat effectiveness is extraordinary. If the Qin people really have any new weapons, Peterus will test them out. Fan just can let the Roman generals sober up.

Rome and Great Qin.

is getting closer.

This made the various nations located in the vortex of the war panic, and the Thracians unfortunately became the first victim, which made their old opponents, the Greeks, feel deeply disturbed while gloating at their misfortune.

ancient civilization.

It has become a memory of history. The free and loose city-state alliance of the Greeks has no advantage at all in the face of more rigorous and disciplined opponents.

There are more than 500 islands, and the infighting among three different forces, the Crete League in the center of the southern Aegean Sea, the Peloponnesian Spartan League, and the Athens-Delian League, has made the Greeks even more intrigued. Great, after Alexander's conquest, the last glory of the Greeks was gone.

Now, they only exist as a vassal of the Kingdom of Macedonia. In front of Philip V, the status of the Greeks is not even as good as that of the Thracians. (to be continued..)
