Ma Chao led tens of thousands of Canglang camp cavalry to bypass the pass between the border between the Ruina province and the Assyrian border to reach the camp.

"Zilong, I'm back!"

Zhao Yun raised his head and said in surprise: "Meng Qi, I'm worried about you!"

The two patted each other's arms and laughed. Ma Chao joked: "I'm not a sissy, why are you worried about me?"

Zhao Yun was stunned and smiled and said, "Meng Qi, when will you joke?"

Ma Chao smiled and looked straight, "This thousand-mile raid failed to do its best!"

Zhao Yun nodded, "It's already great to completely defeat the two regular Roman legions in the south!"

Ma Chao asked: "Zilong, are you attacking the city these days? How is the situation?"

Zhao Yun frowned and said, "We have been attacking for two consecutive days. Although the First Legion did not go up, our offensive was already very strong! However, no progress has been made! The Romans were well prepared, and the giant beast cannon collapsed two sections of the city wall, but the high earth slope behind the city wall can still play a defensive role! In addition, the Romans arranged traps and fortifications like honeycombs in the city, and the soldiers who broke into the city were unable to make any progress, and there were many casualties!"

Ma Chao said: "This is not surprising! It would be abnormal if there were no such things! Zilong, the reinforcements from the three legions in the west will be almost here! What are you going to do? Are you raiding?"

Zhao Yun shook his head and thought, "Since they are so vigilant when you raid, they must be even more vigilant now! The raid will not work!" Zhao Yun and Ma Chao came to the sand table and observed for a moment. Zhao Yun pointed to a Gaogang several miles west of Dura Europos and said, "This place is tightly linked to the main road entering Dura Europos from the west, and it is the commanding height of this area. Half of the legion can block the reinforcements of the three legions of the opponent!"

Ma Chao nodded and glanced at Zhao Yun, "Zilong, which legion do you plan to guard this place?"

Zhao Yun thought for a while and said in an inquiring tone: "I plan to let the front battalion, Zuoying and Central Military Camp of the Eighth Legion take on this task! How about it?"

Ma Chao nodded.

Zhao Yun returned to the front of the Shuai case and summoned the general Zhang Ren. Zhang Ren was good at this kind of mountain defense battle.

"General, what are the instructions?" Zhang Ren asked with his fists, looking eager to fight.

Zhao Yun said his decision and finally asked, "Are you sure?"

Zhang Ren clasped his fists very magnanimously and said, "If you don't succeed, please cut my head!"

Zhao Yun took out a command arrow and handed it to Zhang Ren, patted Zhang Ren on the shoulder, and said seriously: "Whether the general can defend Gao Gang is related to the success or failure of this battle, remember!"

Zhang Ren tightened the arrow in his hand, nodded, clasped his fists at Zhao Yun, and left the tent.

Ma Chao said: "Zilong, it's not that I don't have confidence! According to the current situation, our army does not have any advantage, and it is not easy to achieve Your Majesty's strategic goals!"

Zhao Yun nodded, took a letter from the commander's case and handed it to Ma Chao, saying, "Your Majesty has also considered this, so he has ordered the newly formed Ninth Legion and Tenth Legion to rush here to help!"

Ma Chao read the letter and laughed, "Okay! In this way, you will be sure!"

Zhao Yun smiled and said seriously: "I don't think so! Once the battle situation is unfavorable, the Romans will inevitably continue to increase their troops! In fact, our army cannot have an advantage in the Assyrian battlefield! After all, this is at the door of the Romans! By the way, there is bad news!"

Ma Chao hurriedly said, "Don't scare me! Say it quickly!"

Zhao Yun smiled and took another letter from the Shuai's case and handed it to Ma Chao, "This is a letter from Feige who came from the north this morning!~~"

Ma Chao took a look and said in surprise: "Ross?~~"

Zhao Yun nodded and frowned: "Ross' army was defeated by Roman General Seth, and suffered a great loss. Now he has retreated to the east bank of the Dele River to confront the Roman army!"

Ma Chao cursed: "Why is the Ross man so useless! This Cao Pi is also a waste!"

Zhao Yun analyzed: "It can't be said that! Although the Ross has the advantage in military strength, the overall combat power is not as good as the other party! Seth is indeed not simple! He is worthy of being the Romans' war god!"

Ma Chao nodded, shook the letter in his hand, and asked, "Does Your Majesty and the Cabinet know about this?"

Zhao Yun nodded and said, "I already know! The cabinet has ordered the messengers who stayed in Ross to launch an activity! The specific content is not mentioned, but I guess it should be to restore the confidence of the Ross people!"

Ma Chao snorted coldly, "I think it's so bad! Zilong, we have to prepare for the Ross to withdraw!"

Zhao Yun nodded, "I have written this into a memorial and sent it to Luoyang!"

Ma Chao thought: "If we can attack Dura Europos and Alta Saudi Arabia as soon as possible, then our strategic situation will be much better!"

Zhao Yun pointed at the old man and frowned: "But this may not be easy!"

Qin Navy Outpost.

A huge fleet slowly headed north. The Qin Navy's fleet at the outpost had all been dispatched, guarding nearly 2,000 large and small ships, which were loaded with Alex's 160,000 troops. In order to collide with such a large army, the Qin army overturned the entire Persian Gulf region.

Alex stood on the bow of the boat, looking at the vast vast sea, and couldn't help feeling excited, 'I'm back! I won't leave again this time!'

A few days later, the Roman navy camp.

A scout rushed into the tent anxiously and reported urgently: "God of General, discover the main force of the enemy fleet!"

Lielund raised his head suddenly, "How many ships are there? Where are they now?"

“There are thousands of ships!”

When he heard this number, Lielund suddenly stood up and screamed at the top of his voice: "Thousands of ships!?" Haha, no wonder he was so surprised. You must know that the main ships of the Romans did not exceed four hundred!

Lielund then understood and asked, "Is there a large number of transport ships?"

“That’s right!”

Lielund couldn't help but exchanged glances with the general next to him. The general said, "It seems that Her Majesty's concern has come true! General, attack! You can't let them succeed!"

Lielund nodded and ordered decisively: "Send the fleets to attack immediately!" "Yes!"

However, the Romans soon discovered that the Qin army had stopped advancing hundreds of miles from the expected landing site. Lielunde thought that the Qin army was playing tricks and sent all patrol clutches. Half a day later, Lielunde received information that the Qin army was unloading the army on the beach in the desert! This surprised Lielunde.

"God of General, what are the Qin people doing? Do you want to cross the desert? The desert is not a fun place!" the general asked in confusion.

Lielund said in surprise: "Not good! There are only complete legions in Jerusalem and more than 30,000 defeated soldiers. It is difficult to form a favorable sniper on the edge of the desert! You must notify General Batra of the Jerusalem of this situation!"

The general responded and ran away quickly.

Lielunde frowned at the suggestion sand table in front of him. He was a little puzzled. He didn't understand why the Qin army did this, and he didn't understand how the Qin army was so sure. It was normal for Lielunde to have such doubts, because the materials needed to travel through hundreds of miles of desert are an astonishing number, and for now, it seems impossible for the Qin army to complete such a task by the reserves of the outpost!

Also surprised and puzzled were Batra, who was in Jerusalem. Batra had just received a warning letter from Lielund.

Batra frowned and said, "The Qin people want to cross the desert? How is this possible!"

The subordinates exchanged glances, and one of them asked: "God General, should we take immediate measures?"
