The Three Kingdoms

In his cognition, the fighting power of the Roman army is very strong, and it will not be weaker than the army in the Central Plains.

Moreover, in terms of the quality of individual soldiers, the generals of the Wu army are inferior to the Romans in battle. The Romans are naturally burly, and they are superior to the generals of the Wu army in terms of speed and strength.

Now that the Seahawks are about to confront the Roman army again, Zhou Tai's mood is heavy.

If you lose once, you can bear it.

If he loses again, it will have a great impact on Xizheng's military spirit, and at the same time he will be named an incompetent general.

Zhou Tai pondered for a long time, and then shouted at the several lieutenants of the staff around him: "Come here, immediately pass on my military order to order all the fleets behind to stop marching from now on, and set up camp on the spot. After three days of rest , let’s move on!”

He needs to be cautious in this battle and not rush forward.

"promise!"

Several staff officers led the order and quickly communicated to the large troops of each warship with the professional semaphore of the Great Wu Navy, asking them to stop and rest, and set up the water village.

"By the way, have the scouts sent out come back?"

Commanding the cabin from the deck, Zhou Tai calmed down, fixed his gaze on the arrangement on the map, and asked.

This map is not very accurate. After all, this place is now the border between Anxi and Rome. There have been heavy troops intertwined for many years, and the Orientals who came to this place have strange shapes, language barriers, and communication is difficult. Drawing a map is difficult. It's even harder.

Jin Yiwei paid a lot of money to get these maps today.

"Commander, the vanguard ship released the day before yesterday has returned!"

A staff officer stepped forward and reported.

"pass!"

"Yes!"

"The third battalion of the final scout regiment, battalion commander Liu Ping, join the commander!" A young soldier strode in from the outside of the ship's warehouse and bowed his head to Zhou Tai.

"Don't be too polite, get up and talk!" Zhou Tai said.

"Yes!"

The commander of the scout battalion, Liu Ping, stood up, and then took out some of the map that the scouts had just drawn from the cylinder on his back: "Commander, this is the river area in front that our third battalion redrawn when we were investigating. distribution map!"

"How's the current ahead?"

Looking at the maps with detailed marks, Zhou Tai's eyes lit up slightly, and he asked hastily.

"Reporting to the commander, the front is the confluence of two large rivers in the province of Mesopotamia. The river area is very wide, but there are many places where the two rivers converge, so the river ahead is very fast, and the boat is unstable! "

"It's not a good place, but it's a good battlefield. Our battle ships are basically big ships. There is an open place where it is easier to fight. Do you find any traces of the Roman navy?"

Zhou Tai's eyes turned cold. He wasn't worried about the river ahead, but now he was more worried about where the hidden warships of the Roman army were hiding.

In water contests, Zhou Tai is not afraid of anyone.

With the equipment and combat effectiveness of the Great Wu Navy today, it is definitely the best in the world. Whether it is a contest on the still wide sea or an inland river contest, it is more than enough to deal with Roman warships.

But after all, this place already belonged to the Roman Empire, and he was playing away.

If the Roman navy cooperated with their land infantry, his warships were too obvious to be ambushed by them.

With mental calculations or carelessness, the battle can easily be overturned, and the river here is not too big. If his warship is entangled by Roman warships, and then ambushed by their land and shore infantry with crossbows and archers, His fleet may also face heavy losses.

Therefore, he must find the Roman water soldiers and destroy them before the Roman land infantry reacts, so that they can entangle with the main force of Rome without any worries.

"Report to the commander, our third battalion has not found any yet!"

"Commander, the soldiers of the first battalion of the scout regiment sent back a message earlier today. Last night, their scouts suddenly confronted an unknown warship in the dark. Clear the flag, I suspect it is a scout from the Roman army!"

A staff officer suddenly reported.

"So, the Roman water soldiers and horses are all around us, and even the Roman army may have known that our warships entered the province of Mesopotamia from the waters of the Persian Gulf. In this way, our situation Something's wrong!"

Zhou Tai's face became solemn. Their army was in the dark before, but now they are placed in the light, while the soldiers and horses of the Roman army are peeping in the dark.

This made him a little uneasy, he slapped the desk in front of him fiercely, and shouted: "Liu Ping!"

"exist!"

"The third battalion continues to explore the surrounding river area, no matter the cost, we must find out where the Roman navy is!"

"Yes!"

The cabin where the scout battalion commander Liu Ping was ordered to leave.

"Pass my military order, all warships are in a first-level readiness state, all trebuchets are loaded with stone bullets, and the crossbows are stringed!"

"Yes!"

The staff officer in the cabin began to move.

——————————————————————————————————————

The city of Seleucia, which is a relatively large city, used to be the western gateway city of the Parthian Empire and a fortress to prevent the invasion of the Roman army, but now it is the provincial capital of the newly established Mesopotamia province of the Roman Empire. city.

In the city, a palace with an unusual style.

A young Roman youth, dressed as a knight, with a handsome face, blue crystal eyes, and a personable demeanor, stood in front of the Roman generals with a dignified expression.

"Soldiers, the Orientals are coming, they are coming with weapons and anger, they want to invade the sacred territory of our Roman Empire, the will of the Lord tells me that we need to take up the sword in our hands and drive them all out !"

The deep Latin was spit out from the mouth of this Roman youth, which made all the Roman generals present feel a little excited.

This Roman youth is the eldest son of Roman Emperor Severus, Prince Caracalla.

He was also governor of the province of Mesopotamia.

The current military and political controller of the province of Mesopotamia.

"The Lord will not forgive these shameful invaders!"

"My Roman army is invincible, why have I been afraid of him from the East!"

"The Lord's knights are not afraid of war, we will kill them!"

Under the guidance of Caracalla, the Roman generals were full of fighting spirit.

In the previous war in Mesopotamia, the Roman army won the victory, and the victory gave them confidence in facing the Eastern army.

And they believed in God in their hearts, thinking that God let them come to the land of Mesopotamia, and God let them capture the territory of the Parthian Empire.
