Qiang Qin

The Romans lost.

Of the five Roman soldiers on the island of Clare, four were killed on the beach, and one panicked and tried to swim across the sea to escape, but drowned in the sea due to exhaustion.

Peterus' face was stiff.

He never imagined that the strong Gaul warriors would be defeated in this team competition, and the cunning and shamelessness of the Qin people left him speechless.The rough and kind-faced Cao Xin was just a cover, and Peterus was deceived by his face from the very beginning.

In desperation, Peterus had to order more than 490 soldiers under his command to drop their weapons and armor, and then leave in a desperate state.

Cao Xin won the competition and was very happy in his heart, and Zhidu who made great achievements was rewarded heavily. According to the meritorious service conditions of the military system, Cao Xin ordered Zhidu to be a lieutenant in the army and lead a team alone. A special force composed of [-] elite soldiers, the main task of this army is to exercise their ability to survive in harsh environments.

——.

The Romans retreated.

This is good news for the Qin army on both sides of the Bosbrus Strait.

Troy.

An abandoned port city located at the easternmost end of the strait, once a city of heroes, borders the Dardanelles in the north and Asia Minor peninsula in the west, at the foot of the gentle castle hill.This place briefly controls the Dardanelles, and almost all merchant ships traveling between the Aegean Sea and the Black Sea must pass through here.

Such an important place has gradually declined in the long years after the Hippo War.

Heroes of Troy.

Hector, Paris, and Nestor have all been reduced to dust, and even the solid city walls that once made the Greeks daunting are left in ruins.As for the beauty Helen who triggered the Trojan battlefield, she had already turned into a pile of white bones and skeletons, and was buried underground in Greece.

The 16th year of the Great Qin calendar, March.

This piece of forgotten place, with the arrival of Qin Jun.Started differently.

Groups of soldiers of the Qin army built houses and tents in the ruins here.

The purpose is to build a Mediterranean fleet belonging to Qin.

To gain a foothold in the Mediterranean.

Knowing about boats is not feasible. In history, whether it is the Persians, the Macedonians, or the Turks, they are invincible on land.But it has never been able to truly incorporate the Mediterranean into the country, and only the Roman Empire has truly achieved this.

The Roman fleet could span the entire Mediterranean, attacking Carthage on the south coast and the Egyptians in the southeast corner, and even their fleet went out of the Strait of Gibraltar and began to head north to the English Isles.

For naval battles.

Qin people have always been not very good at it, the old Qin people who started from the inland of Guanzhong.Familiarity with boats is far less than riding a horse, and

This is not because Chinese people have a sense of fear of the sea, but Qiaqia is a Chinese dynasty, mostly initiated from the north.There are very few founding states in the South.

The man will soon establish a country.

Learning naval warfare and shipbuilding technology is what the Qin people must do. Today, Qin is building a commercial port with the Jews in Haifa Bay.In order to compete for hegemony in the Mediterranean, the Qin army needed a military port as its home port.After some investigation and investigation, he served as the general of the Qin army in Troy.It was Gan Yong who Li Yuan trusted the most, and his lieutenants were the two bandit generals who used to rule Juyeze: Hu Zhe and Luan Bu.

Hu Zhe and Luan Bu performed outstandingly in pacifying the southern war, but with the collapse of South Vietnam, they lost their usefulness. At the beginning of the Western Expedition, facing the vast desert, these two people who were used to fighting on boats The bandits chose to follow their old master Peng Yue to enjoy peace and happiness in the south of the Yangtze River.

However, it is different from Peng Yue who is nearly [-] years old.

Luan Bu and Hu Zhe were in their prime, and it was a bit wronged to ask them to eat and wait to die all day. This time, the Qin army was recruiting for the second time, and the two Kanto warriors who were unwilling to be lonely decided to stand up again.

The sea and the lake.

Both belong to the water area, but there are many differences, such as wind and waves, such as the reaction after drowning, and such as the handling of the ship. These problems were placed in front of the three generals of the Qin army, and they all frowned.This time, although Cao Xin made the Romans retreat, there is no guarantee that the next decisive battle between Daqin and Rome will come.

At the same time, in addition to the Great Qin generals from the Central Plains and Kanto, there was also a familiar and surprising figure in Troy.

The Greek scholar Gemetheus also came to Troy with his disciples. According to him, he came to excavate and investigate the remains of this ancient city. These technological elites from ancient Greece also began to join in the plan to build a new fleet.

another direction.

In the desert between the Mesopotamia and the Red Sea, teams of Qin cavalry are rapidly marching southwest. Their goal is the Sinai Peninsula on the Red Sea.

Xin'an City, as the central city in the west of the Qin State, has an unshakable position. To make this city feel as safe as Chang'an, Li Yuan decided to open up a new corridor in the south.This corridor, along the Yemen Sea and the Red Sea extending from the Persian Gulf, the front of the Qin army also began to touch the northern coast of Africa.

Before the Romans, seize the rich area along the Mediterranean Sea in Africa. This is an important decision Li Yuan made after learning about the crisis in Constantinople.

Since sooner or later you have to fight to the death with the Romans, you must first make preparations. The Nile River area in Egypt has been the birthplace of civilization since ancient times, and it has enviable wealth. For the current state of Qin, occupying Egypt is equivalent to guarding the gate of Xin'an City, and if this point is lost, then the Roman army can start from the Nile River at any time and march along the Sinai Peninsula to the Bay of Haifa and the Euphrates River.

Of course, there is another reason why Li Yuan decided to fight on multiple fronts, that is, the Ptolemaic dynasty in Egypt is now in its weakest period.

While you are sick, I will kill you.

Li Yuan would not commit the stupidity of Duke Xiang of Song, who was selfless and waited for the enemy to cross the river. This time, he decided to lead the army to conquer Egypt.The few days of ease had already made the king of horses tired. Although Yan Feng, a little beauty, relieved his boredom, it was not Li Yuan's style to waste his days every day.

During this conquest of Egypt, the Qin army was divided into two divisions. The first division was led by Li Yuan, starting from Xin'an City, crossing the Saudi Peninsula in a straight line, and marching towards the Sinai Peninsula; the other division was commanded by Li Zhongxiang, led mainly by Jews and supplemented by Qin The mixed forces marched towards Egypt along the Mediterranean Corridor of the Dead Sea.

The second Qin army was very powerful, claiming 20 troops. When the news reached Alexandria, the capital of the Ptolemy dynasty, Ptolemy V, who had just taken power for a while, broke out in a cold sweat.

The young king of Egypt is only five years old. He ascended the throne at the age of five, but the real power was in the hands of the ministers in the court. It was not until last year after he married Queen Klipaotra I that he borrowed the power of the queen to bring Those dissidents were eliminated one by one.

More than ten years of civil strife in Egypt.

The domestic situation is also deteriorating, not only the stagnation of agricultural production, but also the gradual decline of the civilization and technology that has always been proud of.

The Qin State has entered the Iron Age, the Romans are also walking on the highest peak of the Bronze Age, and the Egyptians are still in the time period where the original pottery and bronze wares alternate. Many soldiers in the army of the Ptolemaic Dynasty, to Even now wooden clubs and bone spears are still used, although bronze weapons are also available, but only those officers can enjoy this special treatment.

Under such a disparity in power gap.

The encounter between the Qin army and the Ptolemy army was worthless. In the eastern part of the Sinai Peninsula, Li Yuan's [-] cavalry defeated the nearly [-] Ptolemy army with only one charge. Then, the Qin army chased and killed the defeated soldiers all the way from Sinai across the Nile River until they occupied Cairo.

Cairo in this era.

It is not yet the capital and largest city of Egypt, it is just a concentrated burial area where the pharaohs of the past dynasties were buried. In addition, due to its geographical location on the plains of the lower reaches of the Nile River, it has gradually become a gathering place for residents to trade goods and goods. It is not surprising that such small cities are dotted along the banks of the Nile. (To be continued..)
