Three Kingdoms Bandits

Chapter 1167 The time of the decisive battle
"Your Excellency, don't worry, Diocletian's army will not be allowed to fight over."

Zhang Liao said.

In fact, according to Wu Shun's plan, after withstood the pressure of the Roman army, the Suzaku Army can counterattack with the new Roman army recruited by Abdul.

However, Zhang Liao considered that the new Roman army would not be able to execute his tactical orders very well.

Therefore, Zhang Liao is going to lead the new Roman army to fight a few more defensive battles with Diocletian's Roman army, so that those recruits who have a passion for blood can get acquainted with the cruelty of the battlefield as soon as possible.

"General Zhang Liao, I have to go to the Mediterranean Sea to report the military situation to the Supreme Emperor. I have to leave first, and the new army will get rid of the general." Abdul said.

"The commander is light, and there is a general guarding here, so nothing will go wrong," Zhang Liao said.

……

……

In the following time, Diocletian led the Roman army to continuously launch fierce attacks on the gathering place of the new army, but in Zhang Liao's formation, the new army faced threats and was relieved several times.

Although many new soldiers were lost, Diocletian's army also suffered considerable losses.

Unable to take down the new army, fearing the counterattack of the Suzaku Legion, and the failure of the barbarian army, Diocletian could only retreat first, divide his troops to guard various important places, control the most affluent places in Rome, and use all limited resources. Enhance military strength.

At present, the Roman Empire has been divided into three factions:

One is a staunch supporter of Diocletian. They regard Diocletian as a Roman hero and are willing to do everything possible to assist Diocletian and defeat Abdullah.

The other is the faction that fell to Abdul. The people or families in this faction contacted Abdul overtly and secretly, and provided their own resources, so that Abdul's strength continued to grow.Their appeal is that after Abdul takes power, he can give them wealth.

In addition to the supporters of Diocletian and Abdullah, there is another group of people who choose to be neutral. They only have Rome in their hearts. As long as Rome is not destroyed, Diocletian and Abdullah can do whatever they want.If their strength allows, they will forcefully ask the two to cease fighting and restore peace in Rome.

It's just that under the current situation, the middle faction is not welcomed, and is even attacked by the other two factions. Not to mention that its strength is not strong, it is constantly shrinking.

There are always some people who fall to one of the people who are fighting for various reasons.

Diocletian's actions temporarily stopped the war, and the Roman army took control of various places and stopped attacking.

Abdul, who successfully withstood the pressure, saw an opportunity to take advantage of it, and asked to see Wu Shun in the starry night. With Wu Shun's approval, the Suzaku Legion, led by Dongfang Qiang, began to ration Abdul to fight back.

In fact, it is Abdul's counterattack, it is better to say that Zhang Liao led the new army to counterattack!

After several battles, the new Roman soldiers have been tempered, and their ability to recognize and execute tactics has been greatly improved.

At the beginning of the counterattack, Zhang Liao did not ask the Suzaku Legion to help, but let the Romans attack the castle by themselves.

This is also what Wu Shun meant. The strength of Abdul can be seen from this counterattack.

In order to make Abdul more popular, the Suzaku Legion did not participate in the initial battle. Dongfang Qiang just led the Suzaku Legion to hang far behind the new army, giving them a kind of reassurance.

The initial counterattack was not smooth, but under Zhang Liao's command, some victories were achieved.Captured some places that Diocletian had previously controlled.

The continuation of the war had a relatively large impact on Rome, and the biggest impact was the soaring prices.

Because the war has been going on, the production of various industries in Rome has been seriously affected, various materials are scarce, and the social economy is on the verge of collapse...

In a turbulent Rome, yes, Diocletian's approval rating has dropped severely. As the current monarch of Rome, he can neither turn the tide and defeat Abdul nor introduce new measures to stabilize Rome's internal economy.

The Roman people are now eating their last meal, and many people fled to the area controlled by Abdullah with their families in order to survive.

Because in the area controlled by Abdul, hungry civilians can still receive enough food every day.

In troubled times, Abdul gave the Roman commoners a hope of survival.

Of course, this hope was also given by Wu Shun reminding him, and the food, of course, was also transported by merchant ships from the Central Plains.

With Wu Shun's unremitting support, Abdul won a lot of favor from the public.

After all, in the area controlled by Diocletian, such things as distributing rations had never happened.

In the army, food was extremely scarce, and Diocletian was no longer in the mood to care about the life and death of civilians.

But he also knew that if this situation continued, his situation would become more and more difficult!Soldiers in the army also have family and friends. If they know that Diocletian doesn't care about their family and friends, what reason do they have to continue to work hard for Diocletian?
The situation is grim, forcing Diocletian to fight a decisive battle!
But when he was preparing for the decisive battle, Abdul retracted his claws and stopped attacking the castle where the Roman army was stationed.

From the offensive to the defensive, the new Roman army completed the task of deploying defenses in a very short period of time.

In order to enhance the defense capability of the new army, Dongfang Qiang did not stand idly by this time. He sent the Suzaku Legion into various strongholds to assist the new army in defense.

With the addition of the Suzaku Legion, the unknown Roman new army seemed full of confidence.

The Central Plains people are very strong, go deep into their hearts!

They knew that every victory in battle came from General Zhang Liao's brilliant tactical arrangements and wise command of entering the field.

They often trade small losses for big victories!
Over time, the soldiers of the new Roman army have formed a kind of dependence on Zhang Liao in their hearts!
As long as Zhang Liao appears in the command position, they will be full of fighting spirit and confidence!

Now, General Zhang Liao's immediate superior, General Dongfang, is also here. For the attack of the Roman army, the soldiers of the new army are confident of victory.

Dongfangqiang's life, these soldiers of the new army are clear.Dongfang Qiang has never lost a single battle since he followed the Supreme Emperor of the Central Plains. Once the entire army was almost wiped out, but he survived in the end.

With such a general assisting in the battle, it is impossible to justify not being enthusiastic.

……

……

Diocletian, who was swayed by the current situation, reorganized the attack.At the beginning, he divided his forces and advanced, but unfortunately, under the artillery fire of the Suzaku Legion, his men suffered heavy casualties.

In the end, Diocletian had no choice but to concentrate his forces and attack selectively!In this way, there are really insufficiently prepared strongholds to be conquered.

But then Zhang Liao formulated a new battle plan. The new army avoided the surprise attack of the Roman army and went around to the rear to attack.Disturbing Diocletian's rear made him unable to fight in front with peace of mind.

decisive battle!Abdul's overall strength is not enough. If Diocletian was defeated because of the help of the Central Plains army, Wu Shun worried that Abdul would not be able to convince the crowd when he became the Roman monarch.

Abdul also hoped that he could keep his promise in the future, so he followed Wu Shun's suggestion and took out all the resources to strengthen the army!

As long as the strength of his army is strengthened and the Central Plains army provides support, Abdul can personally lead the army to defeat Diocletian and become a Roman hero!

For this purpose, Abdul also worked hard. He used all the relationships he could use, mobilized all the resources he could mobilize, and all those who could fight were incorporated into the new army to fight for the new Rome.

Abdul's various actions looked crazy, like a gambler, ready to play a big game with everything.

Many centrists shook their heads when they saw Abdul being so crazy. It would definitely not be a good thing for a crazy person to become the monarch of Rome.

In fact, they are not Abdul. Without the perspective of Abdul now, they don't understand why Abdul is crazy?

With Wu Shun standing behind, this competition is destined to win, a game that is sure to win, naturally the bigger the bet, the more money you will earn!
In half a year, Abdul's new army has been greatly improved. The weapons they are now equipped with are all customized by the Central Plains. They are produced by the Ministry of Industry of the Kingdom of Shu, and they must be high-quality goods!

Equipped with new weapons, the combat effectiveness of the new Roman army has been greatly improved. When encountering a Roman army of the same size, it can basically overwhelm the opponent.

Six months ago, Abdul borrowed ten teachers from the former Yizhou Military Academy from the Central Plains, and trained a large number of local military talents in the army.

With tactical guidance in battle, as long as you don't command indiscriminately during the battle, your winning rate will be much higher than fighting and rushing.

Zhang Liao was a senior general in the Central Plains, and Abdul knew that he could not keep it. If his army wanted to maintain such a strong combat effectiveness, it must first understand the tactical thinking of the Central Plains people.

Wu Shun didn't have the idea of ​​self-preservation, and he was basically satisfied with Abdul's pleading for strengthening his strength. With the current strength of the Central Plains, the two Romes combined are not enough to fight.

The secret guard came from the secret security, saying that the Ministry of Industry had already designed the tank that Wu Shun wanted, but it would only report it after all the functional indicators had to be strictly tested.

The evolution version of the chariot, the protagonist of land wars, the tank will be available.

……

……

"Commander Abdul, why are you so busy coming to me today?"

In the cabin of No. [-] flagship, Wu Shun warmly greeted him.

"Oh! Your Majesty, you don't know that Diocletian is crazy. He has assembled almost all the power of Rome and is going to wipe us out in one fell swoop." Abdul said exaggeratedly.

"Oh? But with the strength of the commander's new army, isn't it afraid of Diocletian's army?" Wu Shun said.

"Yes, with my current strength, I don't need to be afraid of that lunatic Diocletian, but if there is a decisive battle, I still want to hear your advice." Abdul laughed.

He didn't come here simply to listen to advice, what he wanted was a word from Wu Shun.

"A decisive battle. Since Diocletian is ready, the commander doesn't have to be timid. The next thing is, as for the support, Dongfangqiang will arrange it." Wu Shun said.

When Abdul came, he just wanted to get a word about the Central Plains army's participation in the war.Now that Wu Shun has said so, at least the Suzaku Legion will join the battle.

"Abdul thank you very much for your friendship, Your Majesty the Great!"

Abdul can be said to be full of ambition now, but he knows that everything he has is given by Wu Shun, so he is really very polite to Wu Shun.

"When are you going to start the war?" Wu Shun asked again.

"Dioclete sent the decisive battle letter first, and the date is one month later." Abdul replied.

"Your Excellency, Commander, before the decisive battle, you must pay close attention to the convenient arrangements, and don't give the enemy any opportunity to take advantage of it. You can discuss with Dongfang Qiang and Zhang Liao about what to do. As for the threat at sea, General Gan Ning and the Jiaolong Fleet I'll clear it up for you."

In order for Abdul to win the war, the Central Plains army can be regarded as benevolent and righteous, working hard and hard!
……

……

The decisive battle was about to begin, and Diocletian continued to make some small moves, intending to cause civil strife in the Abdul camp, but with Wu Shun's early prevention, Diocletian's small moves did not work.

On the contrary, rumors spread everywhere on his side, and people were panicked for a while.

Sitting on the throne, Diocletian's eyes were empty. He is still the most powerful man in Rome. This time, in order to eradicate Abdullah, he will do everything he can!
Several of his daughters got married in order to win over the various tribes of the barbarians. In order to stabilize the domestic situation, his sons made great sacrifices... Even his queen is working hard for the glory of their Diocletian family... …

"Apdul, this time, either you die or I die! This is a battle of kings, and the winner is king!" Diocletian said to himself.

……

……

One month passed quickly in the tense arrangement plan.

In the Mediterranean Sea, the Jiaolong Fleet and the Roman Navy acted together. All ships in the sea had to berth immediately. Before the decisive battle was over, if a ship was found to be going to sea privately, it was sunk immediately regardless of the reason.

This is the first time Abdul has issued such a harsh order.

Seeing this order, the people of Rome also know that the great battle that will determine the future direction of Rome is about to begin!

When the decisive battle came, both Abdul and Diocletian led the elites to the decisive battle!

This is the most glorious moment for the Romans!
Because this is the process of the birth of a king!

Whether Diocletian continues to rule Rome or Abdullah replaces it depends on the battle between the elites of the two sides.

On the main battlefield, no outsiders are allowed.

This decisive battle is actually more like a duel!Both Abdullah and Diocletian are on the field!The one who wins in the end is the king of Rome!
To be king in this way is the way the Romans look for in their minds!
Outside of the main battlefield, of course there will be battles, but these battles have little effect on the outcome.Except for one place, of course.

At the mouth of the Mediterranean Sea and the Red Sea, fleets of fleets rushed into the canal densely and fought fiercely with the Roman navy defending there.

The enemy is approaching fiercely, and the Jiaolong Fleet sent two warships to support it...

The barbarian army pressed against the Central Plains army again, and the artillery array of the Suzaku Legion consumed tens of thousands of shells every day...

The Suzaku Legion's garrison was attacked by unknown troops, and Zhang Liao led the troops to repel the invading enemy...

……

……

"The Emperor, when will our army arrive?" Gan Ning asked on the flagship.

"When they unite, our army will arrive." Wu Shun said with a mysterious smile.
