The Three Kingdoms

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I will wait for the main force to defend the back line of defense, and will never let anyone threaten the formation of the main force!"

Ma Chao and Jia Xu answered in unison.

"That's good!"

Sun Quan smiled, then turned his head, looked at Lu Bu, and asked, "Feng Xian, next step, how do you think this city wall should be attacked!"

"Your Majesty, the morale in the city is too strong now!"

Lu Bu narrowed his eyes. The old tiger general is now not only because of his age, but also because he has served as the leader of the Wu army for a long time. He has become deep and not impulsive. After a long time, he said: "It's a good thing for us to be head-to-head. If conditions permit, I hope to freeze their morale before launching an attack on the city!"

On the battlefield, in fact, no matter it is the era of cold weapons or the era of hot weapons, one must pay attention to morale.

Strong morale means strong combat effectiveness.

Low morale means weak combat effectiveness.

Now the defenders in the city and even the morale of the people have undergone a qualitative change due to the annihilation of the Apollo Legion. At this time, calm down and stop, and use a calm time to wear down the morale of the defenders in the city and blood.

"But the conditions don't allow it!"

The corner of Zhuge Liang's mouth raised a wry smile, and he added something very simply and neatly.

"That's right, the conditions don't allow us to stop at all!"

Zhou Yu also nodded, and said: "The most important thing in this battle is time. We would rather pay casualties and break through the Tiber River within two days, just to buy time. Now we are facing a situation where we are about to be attacked. In such an environment, the pursuers behind will not be too far away from us, and it will take ten and a half months for them to catch up. If we can't quickly break through the city of Rome, we will lose our life-saving chips!"

"So I suggest that we immediately mobilize our most destructive troops, the Field Artillery Army, and the Thunderbolts in the hands of the major armies, to launch a covering and destructive offensive, forcefully open a gap, and fight in! "

Lu Bu said firmly.

[Text 510, Chapter Nine, Breaking the Tank, One Blow Twelve]

Lu Bu's voice was full of toughness and killing, and it echoed continuously in the not very spacious camp, making every general in the camp feel a little restless.

"Mobilize the Field Artillery Army now?"

"Have we gotten to this point yet?"

"This is the only thing we can rely on now. If we mobilize the field artillery army and fail to break through the city of Rome in the end, then we will be in trouble!"

"Should I be thinking about it?"

"This matter needs to be cautious!"

In the silence, the generals looked around at the people around them, and looked at each other. Their expressions were silent, but their minds were a little ups and downs.

"Mobilize the Field Artillery Army now?"

Sun Quan was also a little surprised. He raised his head, looked at Lu Bu, and asked in a deep voice, "Feng Xian, have you thought it through?"

The Field Artillery Army is now Wu Jun's only trump card.

The reason why the hole card is called the hole card is that it can only be turned out at a critical time.

It's a one-hit win.

However, if the hole card is turned out, it cannot defeat the enemy with one blow, then the force of this hole card will lose its due effect.

The 180 red-clothed cannons of the Field Artillery Army are Wu Jun's only trump card today, and it is also the confidence that Wu Jun insists on entering the Italian provinces and breaking through the city of Rome even after knowing that he has fallen into a tight siege.

Once Wu Jun used this trump card and was unable to break through the city of Rome in the end, it would be a devastating blow to Wu Jun's morale.

So this hole card needs to be used with caution.

"Your Majesty, the more we are at this critical moment, the more we can't be timid. Only when we go forward bravely can we win. We have been patiently holding back before the Field Artillery Army to no avail, just waiting for this moment!"

Lu Bu gradually became like a fierce tiger, leading by example, which aroused the fighting spirit of the generals: "Now is the time. Only by breaking through the city of Rome and capturing Severus alive can we have a way out for millions of us!"

"Your Majesty, I agree with the proposal of the first lord!"

It was Zhuge Liang who spoke next.

The generals were a little surprised.

Zhuge Liang has always been known as careful planning and careful planning. He acts as the chief of staff of the first war zone. He has a steady aura, but he did not expect that it is him who is charging forward now. His face has a stern look: "Your Majesty, we must continue to suffer from the chaos. We are under a lot of pressure now. We are afraid of wolves in the front and tigers in the back. If we want to deal with the tiger-wolf situation, we must break the situation as soon as possible. The field artillery army is our only means! "

"Break the game as soon as possible?"

Sun Quan glanced at the generals. They didn't say they agreed, but they didn't object either. Judging by their expressions, many generals agreed with this decision.

"How many shells are there in the Field Artillery Army?" Sun Quan asked.

"About five thousand!"

"Can you break the city in one fell swoop?"

"It is estimated to be very hanging!"

Zhuge Liang smiled wryly: "The city of Rome is very strong, I'm afraid it's not easy to bomb. If we have more than [-] shells and the power of thunder, we can break through the city of Rome. But now, it depends on the performance of the field artillery!"

"Your Majesty, even if you can't break through, you can still open a gap!" Guo Jia whispered.

"it is good!"

After Sun Quan pondered for a while, he immediately made a decision and said: "I will pass on my order, immediately mobilize the field artillery army, concentrate the main force, and break into the city in one fell swoop!"

"promise!"

When the generals heard the words, their spirits became excited, and their voices were excited.

*************************

the next day.

The morning sun shines on the earth, always full of vitality.

But today's sunshine is a bit dazzling, because this ray of sunshine has opened the worst endless hell in the city of Rome for hundreds of years.

When the sun was shining on the earth, the Field Artillery Army, under the escort of the Guanzhong Army in the first theater, had safely crossed the Tiber River and entered the east bank, less than 100 meters away from the Roman city wall.

This is the location of the most famous triumphal gate in the Roman walls.

The triumphal city gate is a city gate where the Roman Empire offered prisoners, representing the glory of the Roman Empire conquering countless barbarians and tribes, and now it is the Crusaders of the Roman Army who are guarding this position.

"The Eastern Devil came so fast!"

The chief consul Dio stood on the city wall, staring at the outside of the city, looking at the vaguely floating figures, and said solemnly: "All legions immediately enter the defensive state, no matter what, we must fight to the end!"
