Chapter 1644 Fire Attack
"Sent to order all troops to step up crossing the river!" Seth ordered. "Yes!"
Seth led dozens of personal soldiers to the shore. At this time, the night was dark, and under the bright moonlight, a long line was marching eastward from the pontoon bridge, like a giant dragon.
"God of General, if the Qin army launches a large-scale counterattack at this time, our army will probably be unstoppable!" General Kampal said worriedly.
Seth shook his head, "No! If the main force of the Qin army is about to arrive, there will be no only the Iron Cavalry of the Canglang Camp hastily launched a counterattack during the day! I think their main force will not arrive until tomorrow at least!"
The crossing of the river was very smooth, and the Qin army never appeared, just as Seth expected.
It was midnight, and just when everyone thought that the Qin army would not appear again, a fire dragon suddenly emerged from the woods not far from the east coast, and then several fire dragons rushed from different places in the woods.
Seth, who was about to return to the camp, was shocked when he saw this, "No! They want to attack with fire!" turned his head and shouted to the generals beside him: "Immediately order the troops to stop crossing the river and order the troops on the east bank to withdraw immediately!"
Several fires spread rapidly, and in a moment they became a prairie fire. The pine forests in summer are particularly dry, and the pine trees are simply good torches. The whole sky is illuminated by the flames.
The Roman army hurriedly fled to the west bank, and behind them were the flames that were chasing quickly. The claws looked like terrible monsters. Soldiers were swept in by the tumbling flames and screamed shrillly.
The next morning, the fire still had no intention of stopping. The raging flames completely covered up the glory of the rising sun in the east, and the whole world was immersed in a very strange color. The entire forest on the east bank of the river was all wrapped in flames, and the original Roman army's outpost camp was completely submerged in the tumbling flames, and the flames continued to spread around along the forest.
Ma Chao immediately stood on a hill far away on the east coast, looking at the fierce flames raging in front of him. Tens of thousands of Iron Cavalry of the Canglang Camp were immediately behind him, and many generals surrounded him.
"Be good, this fire is burning~! General, what should we do now? Are we just watching this?" asked General Yang Meng.
"What else can I do if I don't look like this? I can't go to put out the fire, right?"
The generals couldn't help but smile.
Ma Chao turned his head and said, "I'm afraid this fire will not be extinguished for a while! All the troops will rest on the spot!" "Yes!"
The sight turned to the Roman army.
Carters returned to the tent and said with a shame: "God of General, I~~~"
Seth said: "You don't have to blame yourself! You can't blame you for this! You have tried your best!"
"Thank you, General!" Carters said gratefully.
Seth smiled, "Actually we are lucky! Such a big fire did not cost us anything!"
"God of General, now we can no longer cross the camphor River before the enemy's main force arrives! What should we do next?" asked a general.
Seth thought for a moment and said firmly: "Since that's the case, then we will attack Dura Europos with all our strength! Pass the orders, the sixth, seventh, thirteenth, fourteenth, and the second Spartan army defended the West Bank, and the rest of the troops followed me to attack Dura Europos!" "Yes!"
"Kampal, how is the situation in the north?"
Kampal replied: "General Yusuf is attacking Altashat fiercely, but I am afraid there will be no progress in the short term!"
Seth nodded and asked again, "What about the Ross people?"
"Ros' army has begun to attack the Luojia Mountain defense line! Another army is marching towards the Tunguska Fortress. This is the information from two days ago, and now it may have launched an attack!"
In the vast Western Regions and above the Assyrian land, the Qin army was moving at full speed, and their direction was the Luojia Mountain defense line in the northern line. At this time, the first batch of reinforcements, the Fifth Army and the 200,000 army of the 10th Army, had entered the territory of Kangju, and the subsequent 500,000 army led by Chen Chu had also passed Yumen Pass.
The Northern Protectorate, the Third Qin Army Corps, the Tiger Roar Camp, the Northern Protectorate’s Security Army and the local temporary recruitment of Xianbei and Huns have been assembled, and their target is the Rostonguska Fortress.
All the servants and protectors of the Qin Empire were mobilized, and hundreds of thousands of servants were rushing to various fronts.
On the official roads leading to the front line in the Central Plains, the long transportation teams connected at the beginning and end seemed to have no end. The people in the Central Plains were very nervous, and they all felt that this battle would determine the fate of the world and the future of the empire.
The palace lost its cheerful atmosphere, and Chen Chu's wives were silently praying for their husbands. The children were all listless, and even Su Su, who had always been over-energy, was no exception.
The streets and alleys of Rome are talking about the current war. What’s interesting is that many people do not have an optimistic view of the current war, probably because the previous war between Rome and the Qin army was almost defeated repeatedly. People are very worried that once the war is defeated, the next disaster may be the end of the world. Because of this reason, many people secretly contact each other to prepare for the arrival of this day.
Jerusalem.
"Master!" Alex's confidant came behind her to salute. At this time, Alex was standing at the highest place in the palace of Jerusalem, looking down at the city and people in front of her.
Alex turned around and raised the document in his hand, "This is what the Qin Empire envoy just handed over to me! The Qin Empire hopes that we will cooperate with them to fight back against the Romans in front of us!"
The generals were stunned and started to discuss.
"Master, we should not be involved in such a war. If you are not careful, you will be crushed to pieces in the battle between the two strong people!" Ret said.
All the generals agreed.
Alex frowned, "Have you ever thought about it? Once we do not act according to the requirements of the Qin people, what should we do if the Qin people win?"
The generals couldn't help but show a hint of embarrassment. Rett said: "But it is not wise to participate in such a war with our current strength! If we participate in it, we will almost certainly become victims, but if we do not participate in this war, then we may still survive!"
The generals originally thought that Alex was reasonable, but after listening to Reit's analysis, they felt that Reit's words also made sense, and they couldn't help but feel embarrassed.
Alex frowned and said, "What you said is not unreasonable! But you exaggerated the consequences of our participation in this battle! In fact, the Qin people did not expect us to collide with the main forces of the Romans, but just hoped that we would restrain the Roman army in the Jerusalem area. This group of Roman troops was similar to ours. We could restrain them while avoiding their own major casualties!"
"Master!~~" Reit wanted to persuade him again.
Alex waved his hand and interrupted Rett, "I have decided! I think the Qin people will definitely win! We must bet this! If the gods favor us, the Kingdom of Jerusalem can continue, even thousands of years later!"
Rett smiled bitterly and said, "Master, why do I think you did this for the sake of the emperor of the Qin Empire?"
Alex had no reason to look beautiful and then shouted unhappily: "Rett, we are discussing the matter, don't involve anything else! Okay, I have decided, if you ask me, go do it!"
"Yes!" Everyone responded and retreated.
Alex looked at the sky eastward and couldn't help but think of the words of Rett just now. A tall figure seemed to appear in front of him. Alex was stunned, and his beautiful face turned red, and shook his head vigorously.
Iberian Peninsula.
Alayang quickly walked to the hall of the Senate, and at this time the only elder, John Lek, was waiting for him in the hall.
"Elder, is there something urgent to ask me to come so urgently?" Alayang asked.
John Lek said: "Justice of Qin has just handed me the order of the Qin Empire, ~~~~" picked up the document beside him and handed it to Alayang.
Alayang read it once, handed it back to John Lek, took out a similar document from his arms, and said, "I just received the same order!"
John Lek glanced at the document in Alayang's hand and asked, "Governor, what are your plans?"
Alayang said firmly: "Old Elder, we have no choice now. We are already on the chariot of the Qin Empire, so we can only fight with him!"
John Lek nodded and said decisively: "Okay! I immediately ordered the troops to prepare to go north to fight! Humph, now all the main forces of Rome have reached the east, which is also our opportunity!"
The sight returned to the Assyrian battlefield.
The Roman army fiercely attacked Dura Europos. Looking from the city wall, I saw a vast ocean of people, which made people breathless. The shouts were shocking. Cannons roared, and the shells flew in the air like meteor showers. The shells falling into the bushes made waves of people. The shells hit the city walls violently, and the broken bricks and chips flew in the sky. The scene was spectacular and intense. At this time, the lives of human beings seemed so small and insignificant. In a blink of an eye, many people went from birth to death.
A team of Roman soldiers rushed to the city wall, and the two sides were in a fierce hand-to-hand fight. The Roman army desperately wanted to expand the bridgehead position, while the Qin army defended did not give in. Both sides roared and fought like wild beasts, and everyone put life and death aside, and there was only one thought in their minds to kill the other.
