Three Kingdoms Bandits

Chapter 1166 Whoever wins the heart wins the world
The news that Diocletian, the highest consul in Rome, colluded with the barbarians quickly spread in Constantinople under the operation of Abdullah. Diocletian just wanted to control the evil wind. The news has spread across the capital.

Nothing could be done, and Diocletian gave up.When the barbarian entered Rome, his choice would likewise be made known.

"Check! Check it carefully for me. I really want to know who is so well-informed!"

If you can't stop the spread of public opinion, then find the source and directly kill those who spread "rumors".

Diocletian was very angry, and his plan was almost in vain.

After careful investigation by the Roman intelligence agency, all suspects were killed.They are handling this matter with the attitude of rather killing the wrong than letting it go.

This bloody practice made everyone in Constantinople feel insecure, for fear of being exploited by others.

Various factions within Rome took advantage of this opportunity to fight in a dark manner, resulting in a large number of casualties, which also created a terrifying atmosphere within the capital of Rome.

Failed to catch the source, the investigation department extended its black hands to the people, many civilians died suddenly, and many families were frightened, worried that the gust of wind would suddenly blow over.

Because Diocletian wanted a result, his investigative services turned Rome upside down.

Of course, in this chaos from top to bottom, Diocletian managed to get rid of many big men who obeyed him.

All the power in Rome is now concentrated in his hands alone!
So what if public dissatisfaction boils over?Diocletian was still the strongest and most powerful man in Rome.

The chaotic environment gave Abdul a chance.

With Wu Shun's reminder, and the help of the hidden guards, plus the Central Plains army stationed in the Mediterranean Sea to support him!

In a situation where the Roman people were extremely disappointed with Diocletian, he, Abdul, stood up.

As the commander of the navy, Abdul was also considered a powerful figure in the entire Roman Empire.Now he openly stood up against Diocletian and won the support of many people directly, and a large part of the people in Rome had fallen to him.

With the foundation of heroes, Abdul became more active. He pointed out that it was ungrateful for Diocletian to unite the barbarians against the Central Plains army.

Similarly, he also broke the news that Rome's victory over Persia was entirely due to the help of the Central Plains army.

As for why Persia sent troops west to attack Rome, it was entirely caused by Diocletian's envy of the Persians because of the authorization from the Central Plains.

When these two "blockbusters" were thrown, Diocletian immediately fell into the unfavorable situation that Wanfu referred to.

The cause of the war originated from Diocletian's greed, and there is a perfect explanation for why the Central Plains army came to Rome.

The Central Plains authorized the Persians, and the interests of the Persians were coveted by Diocletian. It is reasonable for the Central Plains army to come out to support the Persians.

In short, Abduller's revelation successfully turned Diocletian, a Roman hero, into a national scum that everyone despises.

Because of his own greed, Rome was injured, and now he has to lose Rome's fertile land to please the barbarians. Isn't this a scum?
Being targeted by Abdul in this way, it is not that Diocletian did not fight back.

But compared to the real hammer thrown by Abdul, Diocletian's empty-mouthed rebuttal seemed pale and powerless!
Diocletian has identified the culprit who caused the rumors in Rome to spread everywhere, and it must be Abdul without a doubt.

But as far as the current situation is concerned, even if he knows the truth, there is nothing he can do.The [-] barbarian army had already entered Rome, and Diocletian had to expel the Central Plains people first.

On the second day after the barbarian army entered Rome, countless Roman people took to the streets to protest. After the protest was ineffective, they joined Abdul's camp one after another, choosing to fight for Rome and expel the barbarians.

The unprecedented rise in strength once made Abdul forget about it, thanks to the huge warships moored in the Mediterranean Sea, every time Abdul was complacent, their appearance could always wake him up.

Due to the enthusiasm of the Roman people for Cao's army, Abdul's supplies were in short supply, and weapons and equipment were not distributed enough.

In order to strengthen his own strength so that he could compete with Diocletian, Abdul sought help from the Central Plains army.

The final result was that Abdul decided to use his massive wealth to buy a warship from Jiaolong Fleet.This crazy decision still needs the affirmation and support of Wu Shun.

Wu Shun decided to sell the No. 20 battleship of the Jiaolong Fleet to the Roman Navy for 50 billion gold, and at the same time sell all the equipped artillery on the battleship, including supplies, for [-] million gold.

Of course, the officers and men on the NO.20 battleship are responsible for training the Roman navy so that they can start and use the warship.

81 billion taels of gold, Abdul can't get it out for the time being, so he can only lease the canal between the Mediterranean Sea and the Red Sea to the Central Plains to offset part of the expenses, and the rest of the expenses will become Rome's After the new king, it will be paid off within 50 years.

With the battleship, Abdul's desire for victory has increased a bit!The Roman Navy also began to focus on warships to train maritime combat capabilities, and at the same time set up a marine corps modeled on the Jiaolong Marine Corps.

Because of the paid guidance and training provided by the Central Plains army, Abdul's army made rapid progress.His power increased, and many Roman families fell to him, giving him much help.

To put it simply, someone is responsible for providing military expenditures, weapons and equipment to Abdul.And what he has to do is to repel the barbarians head-on, and then defeat Diocletian, becoming the new hero of Rome.

……

……

Diocletian couldn't match the speed and super strength of his opponents, and at the turn of early summer, Diocletian brazenly launched a war!

The [-]-strong barbarian army pressed against the Mediterranean Sea, preparing to fight to the death with the Central Plains army. Diocletian personally led the army to attack Abdul's troops.

Abdul now has not only a navy, but also a large army. If it weren't for the short training time and lack of actual combat training, Abdul would have attacked a long time ago.

Facing the king of Xiri, Abduller lacked confidence, but fortunately, Wu Shun borrowed Zhang Liao to help him.

I believe that with Zhang Liao's assistance, even if Abdul can't beat Diocletian, he won't be oppressed too badly.

The Central Plains army had to deal with the [-] barbarian army first, so they couldn't spare to help him for the time being.

The goal of the barbarian army was the same as Diocletian's choice, to break through the castle occupied by the Suzaku Legion on the edge of the Mediterranean Sea.

The barbarians in the west were extremely fierce. The moment they decided to attack the city, they launched an offensive regardless of casualties.

But the current owner of this castle is Dongfang Qiang, and it is not so easy for the barbarians to make a good plan.

……

……

"General, the gunners are ready!"

"General, the crossbowmen are ready!"

"General, the Armored Battalion is ready!"

"General, the reserves are in place!"

"..."

The soldiers were all ready, and Dongfang Qiang was unambiguous, and ordered the Puyuan Pao to start showing off!
The cannons exploded. The barbarians had never encountered this kind of weapon. Caught off guard, half of the forward troops were blown up!
The sudden blow made the barbarians hesitate.Their courage is undoubtedly enough, but they are not stupid enough to make such a fearless sacrifice.

Unable to capture the castle, the barbarian army turned its attention to the Central Plains Navy.

The idea of ​​the barbarians going to attack the navy, Dongfang Qiang disagrees!No, an order was issued, and the Iron Armored Battalion rushed out. As soon as the trumpet was fired, the Jiaolong Marine Corps came, the gate of the city opened, and the infantry of the Suzaku Army also entered.

Jointly strangled from three directions, the barbarian army attacking the castle collapsed and fled, leaving behind countless corpses...

Hard bones are usually left to be gnawed at the back. Since Diocletian handed over the Central Plains army to the barbarian army to deal with, he naturally had his plan.

The barbarians value promises, and if they promise to defeat the Central Plains army, they will definitely find a way to do it at all costs.

The castle was defended by the East, and there were artillery guards in the castle, which were stronger than the shell of a tortoise. The barbarians suffered a big loss and turned their attention to the Mediterranean Sea.

As long as those huge warships are sunk, the Central Plains Navy will be useless.

How to sink a battleship?Of course it is to rush into the Mediterranean Sea and fight with it.

Generally huge things are cumbersome, and they will be somewhat inconvenient to move. The barbarian army recognized this, and they gathered all the ships collected by Diocletian to form a huge small boat navy of 5 people.

Why is it called a small boat navy?
Because the entire Mediterranean Sea is under the control of the Central Plains, Diocletian can only build ships in the river, and the ships built in the river will not be too large.

The largest one is about the same as the building boats of the Three Kingdoms period in the Central Plains!
With a boat like this, Gan Ning will not be afraid no matter how many times he comes!The enemy's challenge will only make Gan Ning excited.

……

……

"Your Majesty, the barbarians from the west are here, and the general will order the bombardment to blast all those barbarians into the sea to feed the fish!" Gan Ning shouted excitedly on the deck.

"We need to let these people experience the power of the Central Plains, and beat them hard." Wu Shun instructed.

"The Supreme Emperor has an order, hit me hard!" Gan Ning shouted and ordered.

boom!boom!boom! ...

Because the barbarian ships were too crowded, almost none of the shells fired by the Jiaolong Fleet missed. After a round of shelling, sawdust flew all over the sea, and most of the barbarians died in the belly of the fish!

Just one round of shelling was not enough to scare the barbarians away. When they were dizzy, the Central Plains Navy and the Roman Navy moved, strangling the barbarian "navy" from left to right!

One side is extremely violent shelling, and the other side is constantly pouring flaming arrows. The barbarians are caught in the middle, and they can only be beaten passively. They can't even get close. How can they seek victory?
The three navies were getting closer, and Gan Ning had to stop the bombardment. If they went too far, it would be bad if they hit Abdul's navy.

The next battle was what the barbarians wanted to see the most. For this moment, they lost too many warriors.

However, the Jiaolong Fleet also couldn't wait to seize the ship and kill people. The flagship came out from the barbarian "navy", and Gan Ning personally led the troops to jump down to fight.

The barbarians originally thought that the battle would be their world, until they met Gan Ning, and then realized that the gap between people can be as big as the sky and the earth.

Gan Ning's pair of halberds flew up and down like two hot wheels. The barbarians would die if they touched each other, and no one could get close to them.

The generals of the Central Plains used this method, and the barbarian warriors were not to be outdone, but they died one by one, and the barbarians were afraid of being killed no matter how passionate they were.

Gan Ning, who was dripping with blood, was like those demons who came up from hell, choosing to devour someone!

How can people compete with demons?

Almost whichever ship Gan Ning lands on, that ship will be occupied!Facing Gan Ning, the devil from hell, the barbarians couldn't resist much.

Abdul's navy, influenced by the Central Plains Navy, also performed very well. After receiving special training from Su Fei, Abdul's navy officers and soldiers changed from the previous wretched influence, and rushed to fight the barbarians in an upright manner.

The barbarians who used to scare them are being suppressed and beaten by them!
The sea is the home of the navy!There are both the Central Plains Navy and the Roman Abdullah Navy.Unfortunately, the barbarians in the West became the background board.

Without any suspense, the plan of the barbarians to sink the battleship failed in a massacre...

The two victories of the Central Plains army greatly encouraged Abdul and his army.

With Zhang Liao's assistance, Abdul finally withstood Diocletian's strong attack by gritting his teeth.

Diocletian failed to defeat Abdul in one battle, and the situation of the war suddenly took a turn for the worse!

First of all, the barbarians attacked the Central Plains army, both of which ended in failure. However, Diocletian failed to win a quick victory by attacking the strong against the weak. In the end, the Roman army and the barbarian army led by Diocletian fell into a passive position. It is already doomed.

……

……

Abdul withstood the pressure, Diocletian had nothing to do with him!

In this battle, Diocletian's reputation declined again. Correspondingly, Abdul's supporters increased.

Many Roman people hope that Abdul can defeat Diocletian and drive away the barbarian army!
"General Zhang Liao, you really use your troops like a god!"

Diocletian temporarily stopped attacking, and Abdul immediately went to Zhang Liao to express his excitement and gratitude.

Without Zhang Liao's command and arrangement, these recruits under his command would have no chance to withstand the offensive of the regular Roman army.

Through this battle, Abdul saw the power of Zhang Liao.

"Your Excellency, Commander, the enemy will be prepared next time. We won't have much advantage in the next battle." Zhang Liao didn't mean to be dangerous and alarmist. , they cannot reach their position in the first time,
"General Zhang Liao, everything here is up to you. The soldiers under my command are at your disposal. You just need to withstand Diocletian's offensive and wait for reinforcements." Abdul said sincerely.

Except for Zhang Liao, there was no one else who could lead the troops to stop Diocletian, not even himself.
