Three Kingdoms Bandits

Chapter 1165 Diocletian's Ambition (two chapters in one)

"Iron Armored Battalion listens to orders not to let a single Roman enter the castle, kill!"

Gao Shun's roar came from the chariot at the front!

"Brothers, crush them!"

What are the advantages of Iron Armored Battalion?It is nothing more than that the armored chariot has super defensive power, and its impact force is even more terrifying than that of heavy cavalry!
At the gate of the city, a row of four chariots rolled towards the oncoming Roman soldiers, and the ground in front of the castle suddenly became a Shura field.

How violent and cruel is the chariot crushing?
Watching the chariot crushing them, the Roman soldiers were extremely desperate!Just one armored battalion made them terrified.

These rumbling chariots chasing people everywhere, the Roman soldiers couldn't find a way to deal with them, and they had to retreat back in order to survive.

To regain the castle or something, you have to win the Central Plains.And those hateful chariots extinguished their blood in an extremely cold way.

……

……

Behind the Roman army formation, the Jiaolong marines arrived!
Qu'a rushed into the crowd with a long iron spear in his hand, and the spear came out like a dragon!

With such a brave and invincible Central Plains general, the Roman generals who came to resist the Jiaolong Marine Corps had no way to suppress them.

Will be the courage of the army!
Qu'a's bravery and fearlessness aroused the fighting spirit of the entire Jiaolong Marine Corps!They followed behind Qu'a and collided violently with the Roman army formation!

"Jiaolong marines listen to the order! Change to the cone formation! Break through the enemy formation with me!"

Qu A shot a Roman soldier who was not afraid of death and flew to the tip of the cone!

"Soldiers, this is the time to make contributions, follow me to kill the enemy!" Qu'a roared, leading the dragon marines to tear apart the Roman army formation!

The general sent by Diocletian was afraid of Qu'a's power, so he thought of retreating to save his life.It's just that when he turned around, a spear pierced his body...

The death of the main general dealt a great blow to the Roman soldiers, and they lost their unified command. Under the impact of the Jiaolong Marine Corps, the Roman soldiers retreated steadily, and they were about to collapse!
"Stop! Round formation! Defense!"

Qu A easily rushed into the Roman army formation from the rear. Qu A did not take his guard lightly. While killing the enemy, he also paid attention to the beating of the enemy army on the battlefield.

After killing the wave of enemies just now, Qu A also expected that they would be sniped!
Dodododo...

The soldiers of the Jiaolong Marine Corps had just changed their formation to a defensive circular formation, when the Romans' arrow rain arrived immediately.

Some soldiers who were too late to cover their shields were shot by arrows, and their young bodies fell on the battlefield. His blood was poured into a foreign land...

"Prepare to fight!"

After the Romans attacked with a shower of arrows, the large army immediately surrounded them.

"Battle! Fight! Fight!"

The Jiaolong marines suddenly exploded!

The Roman soldiers thought that the Central Plains people would be suppressed by the rain of arrows, but they underestimated the explosive power of the Jiaolong marines!
Withdraw your shield and charge!These two actions were done in one go. By the time the Roman archers reacted, the two sides were already at war, the infantry were entangled, and the archers had no room to shoot.

……

……

"Oh! Damn! Is this the navy or the elite army? Why is it so difficult!" Diocletian cursed.

Nine out of ten of the Central Plains troops coming from the Mediterranean Sea were naval, but the combat effectiveness of the Jiaolong Marine Corps made Diocletian doubtful.

"Go and destroy that Central Plains people!" Diocletian loudly issued an order, and the Roman reserve troops in the rear hurriedly dispatched troops.

Sometimes, a large number of people cannot directly win a battle. Just like now, the Roman army has assembled a large number of people and has not yet been able to enter the castle.

On the contrary, part of the Roman army was restrained by the Jiaolong Marine Corps, and part of it was dispersed by the Iron Armored Battalion.

At this moment, the distance between Iron Armor Battalion and Jiaolong Marine Corps is getting closer!Of course, this is what Dongfang Qiang saw with a telescope on the castle.

Standing at a high place and looking at the entire battlefield is very helpful for controlling the situation of the battle. Every time it strikes the enemy, every time it increases its troops, Dongfangqiang can be precise.

Diocletian wanted to quickly destroy the Jiaolong marines commanded by Qu'a, but the marines were all elites selected from the army, and their execution and combat effectiveness on the battlefield were very strong.

Besieging and killing the Jiaolong marines is destined to be a failed choice!

……

……

Since the Romans couldn't limit chariots!Gao Shun led the Iron Armored Battalion on a rampage in the Roman army formation, and did not save Diocletian at all.

Because of the Armored Battalion, the deployment of the Roman army was messed up. Diocletian was extremely furious, but there was nothing he could do!

Unless those iron bumps are arranged in advance, there is basically no way to deal with them!

If they had artillery, they could of course bombard those chariots, but the ten puyuan cannons and shells that Dongfang Qiang gave him last time were all tampered with and couldn't be fired at all.

Without heavy firearms, it is impossible to snatch the armored soldiers hiding in the chariot with arrows.

Taking a small castle must have been extremely easy for Diocletian, but judging from the current situation, if he doesn't withdraw quickly, he may be defeated!
Not only was the Jiaolong Marine Corps not repulsed, but they rushed up again. With the support of the Iron Armor Battalion, this elite team belonging to the navy was also working hard to make Gan Ning look good.

……

……

"Wen Yuan, you lead the troops out of the city, and then set fire to the Romans!" Dongfang said strongly.

The Roman attack has been repulsed, and the Iron Armored Battalion and Jiaolong Marines are well contained outside.

However, the Roman army had a lot of people after all. If Diocletian desperately wanted to crush the marines to death, there was still a chance.

"Here! The last general will lead the troops into battle!"

Zhang Liao bowed his hands and took the command.

The gate of the castle was opened again, and the Roman soldiers were no longer interested in the gate. They knew that it would be difficult to rush in!

But they didn't want to rush in, but the soldiers of the Suzaku Legion inside were only thinking of going out of the city to kill the enemy!
The siege Roman army has been repulsed. If you don't leave the castle, except for artillery and crossbowmen, it is difficult for infantry to kill the enemy.

Seeing the Central Plains army rushing out of the city gate, the Romans began to panic.

Where did they come to attack the city? It was clear that the Central Plains people had set up a trap, waiting for them to jump into it.

Zhang Liao led the Suzaku Legion's infantry out of the city, which meant that the Suzaku Legion was going to fight back!

The flag was waved on the castle, and the soldiers outside the city quickly changed formations to connect and cooperate with each other, and soon cut off the Roman army!

The advantage of the Roman army in numbers was wiped out because of the defeat of the siege!The disparity in the combat effectiveness of the soldiers, as well as the crushing of the ordnance, let the Suzaku Legion begin to take the absolute initiative!
Diocletian already had the heart to retreat, he knew he was in a hurry, he shouldn't come to seize the castle at this time.

"retreat!"

When leaving the battlefield, Diocletian ordered the troops to withdraw and temporarily surrendered the castle to the people of the Central Plains.

After this battle, Diocletian realized the strength of the Suzaku Army in the Central Plains.This kind of strength is not only an advantage in ordnance, but also the quality of the soldiers and the leadership of their own command.

Diocletian made great achievements in Rome and was a hero of the Romans, but compared with Wu Shun and Dongfang Qiang, he was a bit worse after all.

After being defeated for a while, Diocletian immediately wanted to find a way to restore the decline.

After much deliberation, he still decided to be the barbarians to the west of the coalition!

The barbarians who invaded Rome before fought fiercely and desperately. They invaded Rome just to get some land and survive.

Diocletian felt that the barbarians would be more than happy to help him fight if he gave them some favors, even promising some land.

But only with the help of the barbarians, there are two major legions in the Central Plains, and their combat effectiveness is ridiculously strong. It is not very possible to expel the Central Plains people.

Now that he thought of asking for help, Diocletian thought of Alexander, the king of Persia!
Alexander always wanted to restore the glory of his ancestors, so that he led the Persian army to invade Rome several times.

This time the crisis in Rome was actually caused by Alexander.

But now that Persia has been defeated, what Diocletian needs are allies, friends who can help him repel the Central Plains people.

The Persians were defeated because of the sudden abandonment of the Central Plains army, and they had resentment towards the Central Plains in their hearts.

Judging from the situation encountered in the target Rome, Persia must also be threatened by other armies in the Central Plains, because Persia is not far from the Western Regions, and there is a very powerful King of the Western Regions in the Western Regions with [-] troops, and a powerful Western Regions. Army... The elite White Tiger Battalion in the Western Central Plains Theater is also very close to the Western Regions.

If the Central Plains is willing, it can directly threaten Dobbs!
Diocletian had already thought about the tactics of lobbying the King of Persia. He believed that as long as the envoys spoke according to his ideas, Alexander would have a great possibility to settle down with Rome.

After all, Persia invaded Rome first, and now Rome took the initiative to seek an alliance with them. If they also felt or were encountering threats from the Central Plains, Alexander would definitely be willing to form an alliance.

Thinking of the "ingenious plan" to solve the current situation, Diocletian immediately made arrangements to contact the barbarians to the west and send envoys to form an alliance with Persia to the east.

Of course, Diocletian also wanted to unite with other forces, and the conditions offered were very attractive, but he could not contact many directly.

If Persia agrees to form an alliance, then Persia can be allowed to lobby other forces.Such as Guishuang, Shendu and other countries.

……

……

"Your Majesty, your army is so powerful that Diocletian dare not show his face. When will we go ashore and drive Diocletian from power?"

On the flagship Zero One, a celebration banquet was being held, and Abdul drank a lot of wine. Since Diocletian failed to seize the castle first, he didn't know how happy he was.

"Your Excellency, Commander, we don't need to be in a hurry. Only by following the plan can we be sure that nothing will go wrong." Wu Shun said with a smile.

This Abdullah spends his days trying to pull Diocletian down so that he can replace him.

But Wu Shun knew very well that now Diocletian's name was not stinking, and his appeal was stronger than Abdul's.

Wait until Diocletian's name is despised by everyone in the Roman Empire before making a move, that will get twice the result with half the effort.

Abdul didn't understand this principle, so Wu Shun couldn't understand it.

Originally, it was fighting outside, so of course it was time to save effort when possible.

"Your Excellency, Commander, Diocletian has contacted the barbarians and the Persians. They will form a powerful alliance and use it against us, so before that, you can do more activities and promote your ideas."

Wu Shun reminded.

With the operation of the hidden guards, some actions of Diocletian could not escape Wu Shun's eyes.

"Thank you, the Supreme Emperor, I know what to do, and I will definitely not let him get what he wants!" Abdul said vowedly.

Diocletian wants to unite the barbarians and the Persians. If this matter gets out, it will definitely affect the nerves of every Roman.

How long has it been since the woe of the barbarians?The Romans were very resistant to the barbarians in the procession.As for the Persians, people are more afraid.Because Persia has invaded the Roman border all year round, it has done a lot of bad things by burning, killing and looting.

If the Romans knew what Diocletian was doing, it would be a big loss!

After receiving Wu Shun's suggestion, Abdul made arrangements after the banquet.When Diocletian made an alliance, he would spread the breaking news.

But before Abdul took action, Diocletian was in trouble.

The Persian king Alexander was willing to form an alliance, but the condition of the alliance was that Rome sent troops into Persia to help the Persian cavalry defeat the Azure Dragon Army in the Central Plains.

If the crisis in Persia cannot be resolved, Persia will not be able to send troops to help Rome.

……

When Wu Shun attacked Rome, Shu Emperor Wu Hao, who was staying at the court, also attacked Persia.Wu Tian was in the Western Regions, leading the action against Persia.

When the Persian army returned, there was not one out of ten, and most of them were remnants and defeated generals.

The Qinglong cavalry attacked several times, and the Persian king Alexander left his army and fled back to the Persian capital alone.At the same time, he used his domestic army to prepare for a war with the Central Plains.

However, there were too many troops deployed in the Western Regions in the Central Plains, and Alexander could only stick to the territory.

Just at this time, Diocletian's willingness to form an alliance reached Alexander's ears through the messenger. Like Diocletian, Alexander also hoped that Rome would send a large army to help him out of the predicament.

As for uniting the Guishuang Empire, Alexander had worked hard, and Kanishka II of Guishuang refused to form an alliance on the grounds that he did not dare to offend the Central Plains.

Guishuang is closer to the Central Plains than Persia. Before seeing the hope of success, how could Kanishka II dare to act rashly?
Besides, the Persian Empire always likes to fight everywhere, showing its strength and bullying others everywhere. Now that it has been dealt with by the Central Plains, it can't be blamed for others to stand by and watch.

When you are strong, you bully others all the time. When you are hammered to the ground by stronger people, do you still expect the people you bullied to come forward to help you?
Persia is currently caught in this embarrassment!
……

……

Persia was unable to provide assistance. Although Diocletian was disappointed, he did not express anything special, because he received a reply from the barbarians.

The barbarians agreed to fight for Diocletian, but after defeating the Central Plains, Rome would cede land to the barbarians, and the land had to be close to the Mediterranean Sea.

Diocletian has no reason to disagree with this condition. If the Central Plains army is allowed to occupy Rome, let alone a piece of land near the Mediterranean Sea, the whole of Rome will become someone else's.

Received support, Diocletian started sharpening his sword again!

But at this time, after obtaining the evidence, Abdul's people also survived.
