Three Kingdoms Bandits

Chapter 1178 The Tactics of the Overlord, the Courage of the Korean Empire
One hundred thousand troops fought on the Roman border, and the daily consumption was huge.Fortunately, the Jiaolong Fleet controlled the Mediterranean Sea to such a degree that the fish and shrimp in the sea could alleviate the food problem.

Furthermore, most of Rome has already fallen into the hands of the Qilin Army and the Suzaku Army of the Central Plains. During the war, Dongfangqiang naturally did not leave too much for the Romans. day required.

From various ports in the Central Plains, there are also merchant ships that transport food, grass and military equipment for the army. However, they are easily affected by sea winds by sea, and they may not arrive on time every time. Therefore, Wu Shun ordered that when the supplies are not in place, the various legions Find ways to be self-sufficient.

In this regard, the Jiaolong Fleet did the best. Every time they fished, they had a good harvest!Others fish with nets, but the Jiaolong Fleet fishes with shells!
Just blast a round of shells into the sea, and then go to pick them up and fish them!
The Jiaolong Fleet changed jobs to fish, which made the soldiers of each legion throw up at the thought of fish!I really ate too many kinds of fish and shrimp...

There is a solution to the logistics, and the rest is how to defeat Rome at the least cost.

Regarding this, Wu Shun's thoughts are in a hurry!
That is to eliminate the more than [-] troops guarding Rome layer by layer. Of course, if Rome is willing to fight decisively, Wu Shun is of course willing.

After fighting once, Diocletian was unwilling to fight another big battle.

The more people there are, the more powerful the artillery of the Suzaku Legion will be. No one will be happy just to be bombed.

But the reality is quite cruel. Rome's various castles and defense lines are not capable of defending against Puyuan cannons!
When the shells fall, their castle will be riddled with holes!
In order to cope with the advance of the large army in the Central Plains, Diocletian chose to use the familiar terrain to disperse the army and confront the Central Plains army in various locations!
In other words, because of the fear of artillery, the Roman army chose the strategy and tactics of multi-point blooming!

Their army is not strong enough, but they have a large number, and more people are more powerful!
In local wars, because of the number of people, the Central Plains army cannot fully suppress them. In some places, there are few soldiers, and they will always fall into the unfavorable situation of passive defense.

However, Rome's strategy coincides with Wu Shun's strategy of stripping cocoons!

Wu Shun is also worried that fighting a large army will cause a lot of casualties in his own battle, and it will not weaken the overall strength of Rome.

There are a lot of them, and they are fighting a defensive battle. If they can't be killed all at once, they may rebound. This is not what Wu Shun wants to see.

Therefore, when Rome changed its strategy and chose to fight multi-point expansion, multi-faceted restrictions, and pull and contain small-scale wars, Wu Shun was very cooperative.

Why do you say that?

Because under Wu Shun's order, the Central Plains army pretended not to adapt to the sudden change of Roman tactics, and actively or pretended to be passive to give up some places to the Romans.

This allowed Rome to regain some territory!
After regaining the territory, it is natural to divide the troops. If there are many divisions, each defensive castle will not have a large number of troops. In this way, if the Central Plains army wants to fight back, it will be much easier.

……

……

"General Dongfang, why did the Supreme Emperor ask Wu Shun to give up so many castles? They were built by the soldiers." In the camp of the Central Plains army, Ma Chao found Dongfang Qiang and asked him about his doubts.

When other people fought wars, they were trying to occupy more enemy territory and oppress the enemy army. When it came to Wu Shun, they did the opposite and voluntarily gave up many castles.

Ma Chao doesn't quite understand the practice of surrendering vested interests.

"General Ma Chao, what the Supreme Emperor did was using tactics. The Romans knew that it was a tactic, so they would definitely do what the Supreme Emperor wanted." Dongfang Qiang explained.

"Tactics? What tactics?"

This time, not only Ma Chao, Zhang Liao, Zhao Yun, and Gao Shun all pricked up their ears, ready to listen carefully to how Dongfang Qiang understood Wu Shun's tactics.

"Everyone, there are more than [-] enemy troops guarding Constantinople. We have a total of [-] troops in the Central Plains, and [-] are in the Mediterranean. If we attack with all our strength, can we take Constantinople? How long will it take? Can you take it?"

Dongfang Qiang asked.

"Although it costs 50 to fight [-], but our ships are strong and the guns are strong, and the soldiers work hard. If we attack by force, we can break the city in three months!" Zhao Yun calculated secretly in his heart.

"The general thinks that if the Romans swear to defend the city, as long as they have supplies, it will be difficult for our [-] army to break through Constantinople." Zhang Liao said.

He had been to Constantinople, where the city walls were extremely strong, and the artillery could suppress the Romans, but it still required the lives of the soldiers to break through the city.

The 1:5 gap in the number of people left Zhang Liao with little confidence to predict.Naturally, the Roman army couldn't beat them in a field battle, but now the Romans are defending their capital, and they will do their best.

"There are so many Roman troops concentrated in Constantinople, even if we stand still and let us kill them, it will take a long time." Ma Chao said.

That's 50 people, not 50 pigs!If you attack by force, give some time, the Central Plains army does have a way to win, but it will also pay a huge price for it.

And Wu Shun never liked to make indifferent sacrifices in wars!Every general in the army knows this.

"The Supreme Emperor also knows that if he storms the capital of Rome, he can win, but this will cause many soldiers to die... Therefore, the Supreme Emperor chose to use tactics." Dongfang Qiang said.

He was the first to follow Wu Shun to fight the world. Regarding Wu Shun's temper, none of the generals present could gather as many as he did.

"Then general, please tell us what is so good about the Taishanghuang's tactics." Ma Chao said.

He always likes to fight head-to-head in battle, crushing his opponent with a strong posture, and he is not that keen in understanding tactics.

"It's rare for General Ma Chao to ask, so the general will talk about my assembly." Dongfang Qiang said with a smile: "The Supreme Emperor gave up some of the more important castles to Rome by taking the initiative to retreat or let us pretend to be defeated. Get these The site, Rome must divide its troops to garrison to limit and stop the men. Because of those castles lying in the middle, we cannot directly threaten Constantinople. But, they ignored one thing!"

"Did the unconscious division of troops weaken the defense of Constantinople?" Ma Chao asked.

"Yes, the Romans divided their troops into various castles. Naturally, they had to divide their troops. Once they divided their troops, their defense against Constantinople would be weak, and the defenses of other castles would not be very strong because of the division of troops. " Dongfang Qiang said with a smile.

"Then when we attack again, will they abandon the castles outside Constantinople and stick to it with all their strength? If so, isn't the Supreme Emperor's tactics useless?" Zhao Yun wondered.

"Zilong, what we can think of, how can the Supreme Emperor not think of it? Besides, the Romans regained the lost land from us, and it is unlikely that they will take the initiative to give it up. That is something they regard as glory!" Dongfang said strongly.

"This is not the case!" Zhao Yun insisted.

Indeed, this kind of situation will happen. If the Romans are smart enough to deal with it in this way, then the Central Plains army has no other better way than to attack.

"Zilong, we will continue to retreat and let Rome continue to divide its troops!" Dongfang said strongly.

"Refund?" The general thought it was inconceivable.

"Yes, what the Supreme Emperor meant was to lure the Romans out of Constantine, and use our active retreat as a bait to lure Rome to divide its troops. After that, our Central Plains army was dominated by the Qilin Army and supplemented by the Suzaku Army. Enter Constantinople and destroy Rome! As long as Rome is destroyed, the armies everywhere will be in a state of disunity, which is nothing to worry about. This kind of warfare is called by the Supreme Emperor——removing cocoons!" Dongfang said strongly.

At first, when Wu Shun told him about this method of warfare, he was still skeptical, but after careful deduction, he found that this method of warfare has a high success rate, and the casualties will be much smaller.

After Rome divided its troops, they led their soldiers to launch a sudden attack, and it was difficult for the Romans to react quickly.Even if he reacted, there was no time.

If Rome's scattered army attacks the rear of the army, don't forget that there is still a navy of 5 people in the Mediterranean!
The navy of the Central Plains is not only invincible in the sea, it is also a rare elite when it goes ashore.

"After listening to General Dongfang's explanation, it's like enlightenment, which made the Mosai suddenly enlightened!" Gao Shun cupped his hands.

"The Taishanghuang's tactics are really a conspiracy!" Zhao Yun said with emotion.

Wu Shun did this, even if the Romans knew it was a big pit, they had to jump!Because they fought the Great Patriotic War, how could they not do such an inspiring thing of repelling the invading army?
Every castle that the Central Plains gave up, the Romans will recover immediately, and at the same time promote the glory of Abdullah...

Wu Shun had calculated the virtues of the Romans before formulating this tactic to delay his time.

"Generals, now that you have comprehended the tactics of the Supreme Emperor, please work hard to win Rome as soon as possible!"

Dongfang Qiang cupped his hands to several people.

"The last general will wait and do his best to live up to the Supreme Emperor, the emperor's expectations!" All the generals returned the salute.

"Ha ha ha ha……"

In the handsome tent, the general's hearty and heroic laughter came. Hearing this kind of laughter, the soldiers were extremely refreshed!
Whenever the generals laugh so much, there will be a hearty battle coming!

He was delighted to hear about the war, and he was talking about the soldiers of the Central Plains Legion...

……

……

Roman capital, Constantinople.

Abdul found Diocletian and asked Diocletian to advance forward.

"Your Majesty, this is a trap of the people of the Central Plains. We cannot fall for it!" Facing Abdul's order, Diocletian had his own opinion.

In his opinion, there must be some ulterior motive behind the sudden retreat of the Central Plains army, and the sudden and unrestrained attack.If they advance rashly, they will definitely be hit suddenly by the Central Plains army, and this kind of blow will definitely be fatal.

"Your Excellency, our speed cannot be slower than that of the barbarians. Now outside Constantinople, the barbarians have captured ten castles from the Central Plains. Your soldiers have not moved yet. I am very angry!" Abdul said .

In his domain the barbarian had an unforgivable tendency to turn against the guest.

"Your Majesty, I understand what you mean, but I am really worried that this is a conspiracy of the Central Plains people. My proposal is that if the barbarians are not counterattacked by the Central Plains people, then we can accept them as masters." castle, let the barbarians go on."

Diocletian suggested.

His suggestion is relatively safe for Rome. Let the barbarian army interview in front. If something goes wrong, the barbarian army will suffer first, and they will have time to react.

"Your Excellency, you must know that the barbarians are our friends now, and I don't want you to use them like this!" Abdul said.

What he said was right, the barbarians had indeed helped them a lot now, if they rashly asked for those castles back from the barbarians, it would probably make the barbarian leaders unhappy.

Foreign enemies are still eyeing them, and Abdul doesn't want to cause dissatisfaction among them because of a few castles.

After all, the barbarians are their own people, and the battles and disputes between the barbarians and the Romans can actually be regarded as internal struggles.

As for the Central Plains people, they are lions from the east, and they may swallow them if they don't pay attention!
"Your Majesty, I understand what you mean. Next, I will let the soldiers speed up the recapture of the castle." Diocletian said.

He knew that his proposal was the best, but Abdul's worries were not unreasonable.

The barbarians are now the allies they must try their best to win over.There was no other way, Diocletian could only divide his troops and go to retake the castle from the Central Plains people.

Once this soldier is divided, it will be out of control!
The army of the Central Plains gave up more and more castles, and the troops distributed by the Roman army also increased, while the defense of Constantinople plummeted!

"Dear Your Excellency Commander, I think I know why the Central Plains army suddenly shrank."

One day, Abdul happily found Diocletian and wanted to share a piece of good news he had just received.

"Your Majesty, what makes you so happy?" Diocletian asked.

"Oh, take a look at this first, it's really good news." Abdul handed Diocletian a piece of cloth, and the cloth was covered with densely packed small characters.

"Your Majesty, this is really good news!"

After reading the contents on the cloth, Diocletian also became excited.

"Yeah, this news is the reason why the Central Plains army suddenly shrank. They want to go back part of it to suppress the rebellion!"

Abdul said.

The content on the cloth said that civil strife broke out in the powerful eastern kingdom of the Central Plains, and a new country was formed, but this country did not intend to respect the Central Plains as the suzerain, which angered Wu Hao, the current Emperor of the Central Plains.

Wu Hao asked Wu Shun, the supreme emperor of the Central Plains, to use troops against that foreign country and suppress it!And Wu Shun also agreed, and it was unforgivable for the Fan country to dare not respect the suzerain country.

"Speaking of which, that newly established small eastern country really has the guts to say that the Confucius sage in the Central Plains is theirs, and the Dragon Boat Festival in the Central Plains is also theirs... Really, in the words of the Central Plains, it's a bit self-defeating!"

Diocletian laughed.

He didn't know where the small oriental country called the Korean Empire had the courage to dare to attack his suzerain country.
