The Three Kingdoms

But this time, the Wu army regrouped and marched westward again. Zhuge Liang personally led his troops to land up, and the war naturally came to the Greek province again.

The strategy used by Zhuge Liang is the same strategy used by Sun Lang.

After he led the army to land, he immediately captured the city of Sparta, and then he relied on the city of Sparta to resist the attack of the two legions of the Roman army, but this time, he did not have the luck of Sun Lang. Standing firm, because of the support of the Seahawks at sea, he was able to use the Gulf of Patras and the Gulf of Corinthia as natural dangers to stabilize his plan to capture southern Greece.

Moreover, in this battle, except for one army, the other main forces of the Sea Eagle Legion have basically been transferred to the north to assist the main force in the eastern theater to break through the Severus Fortress. He has lost the help of the navy and can only rely on the Peloponnese The terrain of the Sa Peninsula was to fight against his own soldiers and horses several times.

But the battle got off to a good start.

Zhuge Liang first used the sea terrain to get rid of a golden cicada, and after throwing off the pursuit of the Holy Angel Legion, he quickly landed from the port of Sparta to join Cao Zhang's army that had entered the Greek province, and then he took advantage of the Holy Angel Legion. This time difference, ambushed the pursuers of the Greek Legion.

In that battle, he took the lead and ambushed, annihilating the Greek First Army in one go.

At the same time, the cavalry led by Cao Zhang was also frantically plundering the territory of the Peloponnese Peninsula in southern Greece. Not only did they take down the city of Sparta, but they also killed more than a dozen towns around the city of Sparta in one breath. It won, and almost seized most of the territory of the Peloponnese Peninsula.

In this way, it was natural for the Roman army to form the illusion that their Wu army had gathered heavy troops and landed in the Greek province, and took Greece by force.

His purpose was achieved.

Because of the outbreak of this battle, he used two armies and one cavalry regiment to not only hold back the main force of the Roman army on the Eastern battlefield, the Greek Legion and the Holy Angel Legion, but also let the Crusaders leave the Fortress of Severus and go south. The reinforcements won the best offensive opportunity for the army in the Eastern theater.

But at the same time, he also put himself, the 37th Army of the Sea Eagle, the 42nd Army of the Snow Leopard, and the Cavalry Regiment directly under the Snow Leopard. Tens of thousands of Wu soldiers were completely trapped in a desperate situation surrounded by the Roman army.

The Legion of the Holy Angels quickly returned to the right track after realizing that they were going around in circles, and led the main force to land and go straight to the city of Sparta.

The Greek Legion was wiped out by the First Legion, but there was no fear. The ruling leader of the Legion, Wahlberg, personally led the main force to go south. Corinthia Gulf, heading south to the city of Sparta.

All the warships of Zhuge Liang's 37th Sea Eagle Army were burned by themselves, and they could not escape by sea. However, there were Roman main forces in the north and south, and there was no way to retreat. With the pursuit of troops, the situation suddenly became precarious...

……

Spartan city.

In the city, queues of Wu army officers and soldiers are holding shields and spears, and patrolling the streets one by one at a neat pace, implementing the strict military order of the whole city.

This is the territory of Rome. The Romans hated the Orientals extremely. The city of Sparta is still the main city of Greece with a large population. In order not to affect the army, Zhuge Liang ordered the whole city to be under martial law, and no one was allowed to come and go, so as to prevent the people from revolting from the root. source of restlessness.

In a circular hall.

Zhuge Liang sat cross-legged, sitting on top of the head, and on his left and right were Cao Zhang, commander of the Cavalry Regiment, Ling Cao, commander of the 37th Haiying Army, and Liao Hua, commander of the 42nd Snow Leopard Army.

And under their four main generals, there are also the chief of staff of the military department, the chief of division, the chief of staff of the division, and more than a dozen generals gathered together to discuss the military situation.

"Chief of the General Staff, the scouts just came to report that the main force of the Greek Legion has already started going south!" Liao Hua cupped his hands and said, "We have crossed the Corinthian Gulf last night. We don't have warships to support us, so we can't stop them. The division has retreated thirty miles away, watch them!"

"This is expected!"

Zhuge Liang narrowed his eyes slightly, the feather fan in his hand was still shaking slightly, his calm expression made the generals ask: "One legion, or two?"

"Three!"

Liao Hua said: "Look at the flags of the Greek Legion. The second, third, and fourth. The main forces of the only three remaining legions have all gone south!"

"My plan has been accomplished!"

Zhuge Liang smiled: "The more they attach importance to it, the more they will ask for help from Severu Fortress. This proves one thing. As for whether the soldiers and horses of Severu Fortress will go south for reinforcements, it depends on our luck!"

His face became serious: "Now we have done what we should do, and the next step is to survive!"

With the army under pressure, although his mood was stable, he also felt a little uneasy.

After all, he is a human being, and careful calculation is not God's will. Whether he can survive the Roman army's attack and survive for more than half a month depends on whether God will help him.

"Chief of the General Staff, the Legion of Holy Angels has also begun to land one after another. It will take at most one day to reach Sparta City!" Ling Cao said.

"It's also expected!"

Zhuge Liang said: "Sooner or later they will converge and attack us back and forth!"

"Then what should we do now?"

"Attack front and back, their soldiers and horses are several times more than ours. If they defend the city, they can hold it for three days at most. If there is no reinforcements, they will definitely lose!"

All the generals became a little worried.

The army is under pressure, life and death, they are not as confident and stable as Zhuge Liang.

"Perseverance is the next strategy!"

Zhuge Liang shook his head, his eyes sparkled with stars, his voice was calm and with a tone that could appease the generals, and said: "This is the territory of the Roman Empire, and the people in the city are even more hostile to us, but they just succumb to our will." Under the front of the army, once our main force is dispatched to defend the city, they will definitely make trouble for us. At that time, we will be defeated, but I have a better strategy, so that we can survive in the cracks!"

"Please tell the Chief of Staff!"

The eyes of the generals are clear and bright.

"Sand table!"

Zhuge Liang waved his hand, and a dozen soldiers launched a huge sand table that had just been built, which marked the geographical situation of the entire Peloponnese Peninsula.

"Look, we are in southern Greece!"

"This is a peninsula surrounded by the sea. We don't have naval support, so we can only stick to the land to deal with them!"

"But I'm sure I won't be able to keep it!"

"Defend the city, the people in the city are against you, you can't hold on!"

"It is even more impossible to guard the mountains and rivers. After all, our army is familiar with the geographical location. They are definitely more familiar with them than we are. They know some trails and small rivers, but we don't. Once something happens, the whole army will definitely be wiped out!"

"So the right time, place and people for this battle are not in our army!"

Zhuge Liang stood up, pointed at the topography of the sand table, and began to speak eloquently.

Wu Jun once fought against the Roman army in Greece. He is not very familiar with the terrain here, but he is definitely no stranger to it.

Coupled with Jin Yiwei's ability, it was enough for Zhuge Liang to have a clear understanding of the terrain here before starting the battle. The location of mountains and rivers, the distance between cities, and the trend of rivers have all been engraved in his heart.

"But our army is not without chance!"

Zhuge Liang swayed the feather fan, as if making everyone in the world play with the self-confidence in the applause, and lifted the spirits of the generals. His voice was deep but full of burning passion: "In this battle, I will not defend or attack. I will set the frame as one A sports battle!"

"In the martial arts hall, Jijiu said that the so-called mobile warfare is a new way of naming battles, but this kind of warfare has existed since ancient times. It is to use space in exchange for time movement to fight. The advantage is that Flexible movement, the disadvantage is the lack of troops, and the attack is difficult!"

A staff officer with a professional background said in a low voice.

"That's right!" Zhuge Liang smiled: "What we have to do is don't care about the gains and losses of a place, don't care about the success or failure of a battle, lead them along, fight if you win, fight if you can't win, run for your life, avoid the main force of the enemy army , and gather the advantages of our army to annihilate them!"

"Chief of the General Staff, your strategy is very good, but I have a question, how about our food supply?"
