Zhao Yun frowned and looked at the information from Jerusalem just now. He stood up and walked to the sand table. The sand table reflected the specific terrain and landforms of Jerusalem. The earth-colored flags representing the rebels on the sand table were intertwined with the eagle flags representing the Roman Empire. The fronts of the two sides were in a confrontation, but this was the previous situation. Zhao Yun replaced the rebel flags supporting the fortress on the south and east sides of Jerusalem with the Roman eagle flags. The situation on the entire sand table immediately became extremely unfavorable to the rebels. Jerusalem, the most important city, faced the danger of being fully surrounded, but the rebels did not have an army that could relieve the danger.

Zhao Yun thought for a moment, and moved his fingers on the sand table along the coastline eastward along the coastline until Jerusalem stopped. Zhao Yun frowned slightly and shook his head slowly.

At this moment, General Zhao Tuo entered the tent. "General, the urgent flying dove from Jerusalem to deliver a letter!", and then submitted a letter to submit.

Zhao Yun took the letter, read it quickly, and his brows became tighter.

"General, is there something happened in Jerusalem?" Zhao Tuo couldn't help asking.

Zhao Yun nodded, "Alex's army is almost unable to resist it! She said she would give up Jerusalem and retreat to the southeastern mountainous areas!"

"General, should we support them directly?" Zhao Tuo said anxiously.

Zhao Yun thought for a moment, shook his head slowly, and pointed to the Assyrian Eastern Front controlled by the Romans on the sand table. "The Roman army stationed hundreds of thousands of main forces on the Qinxifeng line. With the current strength of our army, it is almost impossible to break through this line of defense! Moreover, once our land forces are put into battle, it means a full-scale war. At present, the empire is trying hard to avoid this situation!"

"What should I do? Could it be that I just watched Alex's army be wiped out?" Zhao Tuo said unwillingly.

Zhao Yun thought, "We can't help them now, we just hope that this rebel leader can create miracles again!~~" His heart suddenly moved, "Maybe we can do this! Zhao Tuo, you immediately gather the 5,000 light cavalry of the Seventh Legion! Let's do this!~~~"

On the other side, Alex stood on the majestic city gate tower, looking at the Roman military camp that stretched for more than ten miles outside the city, and sighed. There were more than a dozen generals standing beside her, everyone looked unwilling.

"Sir, are you really going to give up like that?" General Reit asked very unwillingly.

Alex sighed and nodded softly, "There is nothing to do! We have lost the support fortress in the east and south! Dutt is almost unable to hold on!~~" The Dutt in Alex's mouth is located more than ten miles southeast of Jerusalem. It is the city closest to Jerusalem and a barrier to the northeast of Jerusalem. If this place is lost, then the entire Jerusalem will be completely surrounded. Currently, there are 50,000 people defending this important city, and the leading general is a capable general under Alex.

Alex returned to the palace surrounded by all the generals.

"Sir, we should ask the Qin Empire to send troops to help!" a general suggested.

The generals' eyes lit up and looked at Alex with hope.

Alex said, "No! The Qin Empire has given us everything they can provide at the moment! We can't ask them for anything anymore! We can only rely on ourselves!"

"But sir, our current situation~~~" a general said worriedly.

Alex interrupted him, "I know what you want to say! But we are not completely without a chance! We can retreat into the deep mountains in the southeast and rely on the support of the Qin Empire to deal with the Romans to wait for the opportunity!"

"Time? Is there a time?" General Mohammed said in a little frustrated.

Alex said firmly: "Yes! There will definitely be! The Qin Empire and the Roman Empire will surely have a war that determines the ups and downs of the fate of both sides! That is our opportunity!" Alex's eyes flashed with brilliant colors.

The generals looked at each other, and hope ignited in their hearts, but they were still worried.

In the evening of that day, Alex received an emergency letter from Dutt, and a 70,000-strong army of one and a half Roman legion began to attack fiercely.

Alex knew that she could no longer hesitate, so she immediately summoned the generals and issued an order to give up Jerusalem. Alex did not leave secretly, but told all the people of Jerusalem in the big square outside the capital that she, Alex and her army would return to Jerusalem one day. She asked the people of Jerusalem not to resist the occupation of the Roman army to avoid unnecessary casualties. Then she ordered the army to send all the supplies that could not be taken away to the people in the city.

That night, Alex led an army of 150,000 from the east gate. He broke through the unprepared Roman army line near the Mulberry Forest and headed straight towards Dute.

Batra received an emergency report from his subordinates. In his surprise, he immediately sent all scouts to investigate the movements of Alex's army and the situation in Jerusalem.

Soon after, the scout brought good news that surprised him, and Jerusalem was already a city without any guards.

However, Batra immediately became suspicious. He really couldn't believe that Alex would give up the city of Jerusalem. It was not until an hour later that another team of scouts reported to Batra that there were 150,000 rebels who broke through, that Batra ordered a legion under his command to occupy Jerusalem and ordered the main forces of each army to pursue Alex's army. However, at this time, Alex's army had already joined the defenders of Duter and repelled the Roman army besieging Duter.

After repelling the Roman army, Alex immediately ordered the burning of Dutt's food and grass. Nearly 200,000 rebels quickly advanced towards the mountains to the southeast in the surging flames.

Before the early morning, Alex led 200,000 rebels to the foothills, but tens of thousands of Roman cavalry were already close.

Alex had no choice but to order 50,000 soldiers to cut off the rear, and the rest of the army retreated into the mountains.

Fifty thousand rebels who were panicked in their hearts fought with tens of thousands of Roman cavalry. The war was one-sided at the beginning. Although the rebels had a slightly superior number of people, their morale, fighting spirit, equipment, and tactics were not comparable to those of the Romans. The war lasted less than half an hour, and the 50,000 rebels were almost wiped out, while the losses of the Roman cavalry were minimal. However, the main force of the rebels successfully retreated into the deep mountains and forests that were easy to defend and difficult to attack.

The Roman generals were unwilling to give up just like that and sent 10,000 cavalry into the mountains.

In the early morning, these ten thousand cavalry advanced outside a valley in the deep mountains. This was a funnel-shaped terrain with dangerous terrain around it, and the rugged terrain was very unfavorable to the cavalry team's combat. If the rebels set up an ambush here, these ten thousand Roman cavalry might be wiped out.

Suddenly, a loud rumbling sound came from the surrounding cliffs. The Roman soldiers hurriedly looked in the sound and saw countless huge rocks rushing down the cliffs, with momentum as if the sky had collapsed and the earth had sunk. The Roman soldiers were shocked and repelled outside one after another. Then they saw smoke and dust spread all over the sky, screaming one after another, and the Roman soldiers were knocked to the ground by the rushing down huge rocks.

The Roman soldiers finally withdrew from the other party's ambush circle, but only half of the 10,000 cavalrymen who entered were left!

The Roman general's face turned pale, but he could only order the army to retreat.

Then the Roman army left 10,000 cavalry outside the mountains to monitor, while the rest returned to Dute.

Not long after, the Roman general Batra, who had arrived at Dutt, received the battle report from the front. Although he was a little regretful, he was more excited. Batra couldn't wait to ask someone to send a letter to Rome.
