Chapter 1549 Unstoppable
Schneider led the remaining 150,000 troops quickly retreated towards Dura Europa in the west. At the same time, Rome received bad news about the loss of Qinxifeng City. The entire court was shocked.
"How is it possible? It was lost in less than a day?!" Julia seemed very angry and very confused. The ministers looked at each other, and Prime Minister Thomas frowned and said, "The specific situation is not clear!"
Julia said angrily: "Revoke General Schneider's post and take him to Rome! Let Yusuf hurry to Dura Europos to take over the command!" "Yes!"
"In addition, the various legions that were sent to reinforce must arrive within three days, otherwise the military will deal with it!" Julia ordered in an unquestionable tone.
Julia's mood eased a little, she frowned and said, "The fall of Qinxifeng, the entire eastern Assyrian region was completely exposed! The situation is not optimistic!~~" glanced at the ministers, "What do you think we should do now?"
A minister came out and said, "Your Majesty, we must mobilize troops to reinforce the Assyrian region as much as possible! The Qin army is in a state of tigers and wolfs, so we cannot be careless anymore!"
The ministers agreed one after another. Julia nodded slightly and looked at Thomas who did not express her attitude.
Thomas thought, "The Ross people are weaker than the Qin people! We should still defeat the Ross people first, and then concentrate our efforts against the Qin people!"
Zhu Liya nodded, "I understand what the Prime Minister means, but the strength of the Qin army exceeded our previous expectations. I am worried that we can't resist the Qin army's offensive!?" Zhu Liya looked a little worried. This was also the concern of most of the ministers present.
Thomas analyzed: "Your Majesty, although the Qin people are powerful, I think they must have taken advantage of this time. They did not attack them with their true strength!~~"
Julia agreed: "This is reasonable! The Prime Minister means that these five legions will still use to reinforce Assyria, and not send more reinforcements?"
"Yes!" Thomas responded.
Immediately a minister came out to object and said, "Your Majesty, this is a bit risky! What if the Qin army breaks the defense line of our Assyrians? By then, the Thirteen Eastern Provinces will be directly exposed to the Qin army's military front, and the Roman government and the people will be shocked!"
Juliya felt that what the minister said made sense, and hesitated. After a moment, Juliya raised her head, glanced at the ministers, and said, "What everyone said makes sense! But this is a dilemma! Who of you has the best of both worlds?"
The ministers began to discuss, and one minister came out and said, "Your Majesty, it is better to transfer one or two legions of defenders in Jerusalem to reinforce Assyria!"
Julia couldn't help but feel moved. Some ministers opposed: "No, no! There are still rebellious activities in Jerusalem, and Alex's rebels are eyeing each other nearby! Once the guardians in Jerusalem are weak, there will be big problems!"
The minister who made this suggestion explained: "Your Majesty, the rebellion in Jerusalem is not a big deal at present! As for Alex, you only need to defend the Red Sea! With the strength of our current navy, defending the Red Sea should not be a problem!"
The ministers started to whisper. Julia couldn't help but show her expression of consciousness.
Julia hesitated for a moment and sought the opinions of Prime Minister Thomas and the ministers. Most of the ministers agreed with this plan. Julia finally decided to adopt this opinion and immediately ordered the two legions of Jerusalem to rush to Dura Europa. In this way, there were only tens of thousands of local guards and a regular legion in the entire Jerusalem area.
That night, Rome received a letter from General Seth. A few days ago, an elite cavalry of Seth bypassed the Dele River and raided the heavy area of food and grass in Ross for dozens of miles, burning most of the food and grass that the Ross people had accumulated hard. After the Ross front army learned the news, the morale of the army was in turmoil. The Roman god Seth seized this opportunity to launch a rapid assault. The Roman army of fourteen regular corpses was dispatched in full swing and divided into three routes to attack the Ross camp.
The war finally defeated Ross' army. The Roman army took advantage of the victory to pursue. One day later, the army of both sides broke out again on the border between the two countries. The Ross army relied on two Spartan legions as the vanguard and won seven consecutive formations, repelling Ross' army again. The Ross army retreated to the country in fear. The Roman army continued to pursue. One day later, the two sides fought fiercely again on the banks of the Dele River. This time the Ross people blocked the attack of the Roman army. The two sides confronted each other across the Dele River.
This news was a huge surprise for the Roman government and opposition who had just learned that Qinxifeng had lost. It was indeed a great victory. Seth fought with less and more, not only repelled Ross' army and took back the entire province of Wright, but also invaded the Ross's Krit Province, which caused the Ross to pay an extremely heavy price.
"Your Majesty, this is so good! We can pull out our hands!" Prime Minister Thomas said excitedly.
A general clenched his fists and said fiercely: "This time it's time for the Qin people to know that they are amazing!"
Julia said, "I don't plan to transfer the main force to the east now!" She said coldly: "I want the Ross people to know the fate of betrayal! Transfer the Fifth Spartan Legion and the Twenty-Seventh Legion to reinforce General Seth! Tell Seth, fight me hard, and be sure to hurt the Ross people again!"
Many ministers couldn't help but meet excitedly. However, Prime Minister Thomas said: "Your Majesty, if the Ross people suffer too much, I'm afraid~~~"
Julia interrupted Thomas and said, "I understand what the Prime Minister is worried about? Don't worry! It will only benefit us if we properly weaken the Ross people!"
The Governor's House of England.
A general rushed to the Governor's Mansion and asked the guard beside the door, "Where is the Governor?" The guard pointed to the door and replied, "It's inside!"
The general rushed into the lobby, and Governor Alayang was handling the official documents.
"Governor General, Roman General Seth defeated Ross' army!" The general reported urgently.
Alayang suddenly raised his head, "Is the news reliable?"
The general replied: "It was the information from our inside line! It was absolutely reliable! Your Excellency, are we going as planned!"
Alayang stood up, walked for a moment, and thought, "At present, our army's land power cannot be compared with Julia. Judging from the current situation, we can only give up the original login plan!"
"Just give up like that?" the general said unwillingly.
Alayang sighed and thought: "At present, Julia's naval forces are all concentrated in the Red Sea in the south to defend against the Qin Empire's navy! The power here is very limited! Maybe we can use the navy to attack them!"
The general's eyes lit up, "It's true!"
Alayang asked, “How many gunships do we have now?”
"Eighteen shuttle ships! There are four more under construction! There are thirty-eight large crossbows! Governor, we have been hiding for a long time. It's time to teach Julia a profound lesson!" The general said with a hatred.
Alayang ordered: "Send the order and all ships are ready to attack!" "Yes!"
The sight returned to Assyria.
After the Qin army captured Qinxifeng, it left 50,000 Western Regions coalition forces to defend, and the large army immediately advanced westward. A few days later, the Qin army arrived at a place dozens of miles east of Dura Europos. Zhao Yun ordered Yan Yan to lead the Sixth Army and the Western Regions Army to go north to contain Arthad and the Roman army descending from Arthad.
