Three Kingdoms Bandits

Chapter 1148 Respective plans

The battle two days ago had caused considerable losses to both Rome and Persia. Under the protection provided by Dongfang Qiang, the Persian Legion quietly recovered its strength.Roman troops were also quietly licking their minions in their castles.

Both sides did not make much action, and some sporadic, small-scale battles that did not affect the overall situation continued to unfold.

Whether it is Diocletian or Alexander, they really want to find out the other party's intentions.

As far as the majesty of the Roman Empire was concerned, Diocletian wanted to drive the invading Persians back home and restore the belief in Roman invincibility.

But Alexander was different. He hoped to lead the Persian Legion to crush Rome, so that the power and glory of the Persian Empire would spread throughout the western continent.

Of course, without the help of the Central Plains army, Alexander would not have such an idea, so Alexander ran to the camp of the Suzaku Army whenever he was free.

After coming here every two days, Dongfang Qiang had a headache.

Because Dongfang Qiang was not sure whether Alexander visited so frequently for drinking or for fighting.

If it is to attack Rome, then as long as the Persian army has rested, it can start.The Suzaku Legion only provides long-range assistance and will not enter the frontal battlefield.

If it's for drinking, there are only two altars of immortal wine he brought from Kyoto.

He still needs to keep some of this wine. Gao Shun and Zhang Liao are both good wine drinkers.

After eating and drinking enough, the Persian King Alexander had no intention of leaving, so Zhang Liao couldn't sit still at first.

"Your Majesty, may I ask how your army is resting? The Romans on the opposite side are getting more energetic." Zhang Liao said.

"Hmph, let them be proud for another two days, and when our Persian warriors regain their strength, they will look good to them!" The Persian king said loudly.

After a cup of wine, the King of Persia went on to say: "General Dongfang, I wonder if the Suzaku Legion is sure to break through the Romans' defense line? As long as their defense line is broken, this king is going to send a strong and brave cavalry unit directly into the interior of Rome." , turned him upside down."

The King of Persia's demeanor did not seem to be talking nonsense after drinking. From the murderous sentence, Dongfang Qiang could tell that the King of Persia was serious.

"The defense line of the Romans is useless in front of this general! As long as the King of Persia needs it, this general will do his best." Dongfang Qiang said.

Wu Shun had already set off by sea, and Dongfang Qiang didn't want to stay here to confront the Romans.

"Hahahaha, this king knows that General Dongfang will not disappoint!" King Persia laughed.

Dongfangqiang's self-confidence largely gave Alexander the confidence to make a decision!

With Dongfang Qiang and the Suzaku Legion behind them, even if their Persian army is defeated, they will not be wiped out.

People in the Central Plains will not sit back and watch their friends be slaughtered by the enemy!
"King of Persia, I don't know when the returning army is going to go to battle, and where do we need our Suzaku Army to drive away?"

Dongfang Qiang wanted to determine the target and time. Only when he knew the target to be bombed could he make corresponding arrangements and plans.

"How about five days later? Your artillery deployment will also take time." Persian King Alexander said.

Indeed, it will take some time for the Suzaku Legion to build the artillery formation. In order to be safe, the King of Persia gave Dongfang Qiang some consideration.

Only with the strong cooperation of the Suzaku Legion to tear through the Romans' line of defense, could their cavalry rush in and carry out his plan.

"Five days? That's five days. Please also ask the king of Persia to determine the location that needs to be bombarded as soon as possible! At the same time, pay attention to the infiltration of Roman scouts, and don't leak the plan." Dongfang Qiang said.

The five-day preparation time is a bit long, and it is a challenge to plan confidential work.

"Don't worry, General Dongfang, it will not be leaked. Only a few people know about this plan!" The Persian King Alexander laughed.

Sending cavalry to stir up the interior of Rome to disrupt Diocletian's deployment was a plan that Alexander thought about for a long time.

Their advantage is that they have many and powerful cavalry!

This time, Alexander wanted to give full play to the high maneuverability of cavalry and teach the Romans a lesson!
It is definitely not a wise choice for the Roman phalanx to confront head-on!It is difficult for cavalry to break through the three-foot-long spear formation...

After chatting with Dongfang Qiang for a long time, Alexander the Persian King left after drinking a jar of immortal wine with the help of his attendants.

Gao Shun and Zhang Liao looked at the empty wine jar and felt uncomfortable—after all, they are the kings of a country, so why come here every day to eat and drink.

"General Gao Shun, General Zhang Liao, the King of Persia's plan is very good. This time, the Romans are busy." Dongfang said strongly.

"I don't know if the Romans are busy or not. Our Suzaku Legion will spend a lot of shells again," Zhang Liao said.

To tear apart the Romans' line of defense, the Persian army alone is not enough. The Suzaku Legion has to drop a large number of shells to directly blow up the Romans' line of defense, and these shells also cost money.

Although the Suzaku Legion had almost no casualties in the battle, the consumption of shells is very scary.

If it weren't for the prosperity of the Central Plains, how could the Suzaku Legion be able to fight like this?Throwing cannonballs is like throwing stone bombs before, it is simply too prodigal.

"It costs a little more shells. If the Persians can fight it, it's better than us doing it ourselves. Now is not the time for us to go all out."

Dongfang Qiang said.

As far as the current stage is concerned, in frontal battles, the Persians can let them fight if they want to fight, and they have to lure them to fight if they don't want to fight.

Because Wu Shun is still floating in the sea, if one day the naval fleet arrives in Rome and the Persian army fails, Dongfang Qiang will take action himself.

"Hey, I have to do this now. Watching the Persians fight is really worrying!"

Zhang Liao complained.

He had seen a lot of Persian battles. The coordination among the armies, the cooperation between the arms, and the fighting methods among the large armies made Zhang Liao want to rush over to command them.

What's annoying is that this situation has to continue. Wu Shun doesn't go to Rome for a day, and their Suzaku Legion can't show their true combat effectiveness for a day.

"General Gao Shun, the King of Persia may ask Ben to send an armored battalion to help them carry out a frontal attack, and it would be difficult for him to refuse," Dongfang said strongly.

"The general means that our Iron Armored Battalion refuses to fight?" Gao Shun asked.

The Iron Armored Battalion's frontal attack capability is almost unstoppable if there is no corresponding arrangement.

This point, both the Romans and the Persians have a deep understanding.

"Yes, don't you Ironclad Battalion fight! The Romans are not stupid, they must be prepared for it. If the Ironclad Battalion goes to battle, it will definitely be damaged, and it's not worth it!" Dongfang insisted.

"The last general understands!" The chief general said that he understood so well, of course Gao Shun knew what to do.

If the King of Persia doesn't come to ask for a fight, that's all. If he does, Gao Shun will have to lose face.
