Chapter 1659 Pressure
More than 100,000 rebels in the Senate attacked Narbon in the southern pass of the Gaul province. At this time, only 40,000 local guards were present. In order to resist the attack of the Senate rebels, the entire Gaul province and two nearby provinces were mobilizing reserve forces.
The battle lasted for several days, and the Senate rebels paid a considerable price, but the important pass Narbon was still in the hands of the Roman army.
The progress of the English rebels was much smoother. They used gunfleets as the main force to loot important ports and cities along the coast. The insufficient number of Roman defenders had no choice but to defeat a fleet sent by the Romans on the coast of Rotomacus. In fact, the Romans were too anxious. They should not send such a fleet that was obviously inferior to the other side to fight at this time. After Alayang annihilated the Roman fleet, his confidence immediately burst out and led his army to land on the coast of Rotomacus and captured Rotomacus City with one go. This was his second time to capture this city. Unlike the last time, he felt that this time might not be needed to withdraw.
Julia, who learned that the city of Rotomacus was lost, immediately mobilized nearby guards and reserve troops to fight, and ordered General Khedira to go to the north to take charge.
On the other hand, after capturing Dura Europos, the Roman general Seth led a million troops to push towards Qinxifeng. Half a month later, the army arrived at the city. Seth looked at the city in front of him with a serious face. Although the troops of the two sides were several times different, he did not think that the next battle would be easy. The previous bloody battle of the Sixth Legion had hurt him. Not only did the city in front of him have nearly 300,000 troops, but there was also an absolute elite force known as the world's number one. The Qin Army's First Legion, Seth couldn't imagine what kind of losses the Qin Army's First Legion would cause to his own army.
"General, attack?" General Custer asked.
Seth looked at the Qin army battle flag flying on the city gate tower, frowned and shook his head, "I ordered all troops to rest for a day." "Yes!"
Seth returned to the tent. Then he received a letter. Seth smiled calmly after reading it. This was the first time he had smiled in so many days.
Seth glanced at the generals under the tent and smiled: "The six hundred thousand guards and the two hundred thousand guards have been assembled and will arrive here soon! There are five hundred artillery pieces!"
All the generals were happy when they heard this.
General Caster thoughtfully said: "It seems that your Majesty is very determined!"
Seth nodded and frowned, "The current situation is actually not optimistic for us! Don't look at our absolute advantage, but this advantage is like a water drop in the desert, fleeting! What's the situation below?"
The generals exchanged glances, and the general Kampal replied: "The soldiers are very motivated!~~"
Seth frowned and said, "Tell the truth!"
Kampal hesitated for a moment and sighed, "The morale of the soldiers is a little worried! They don't have much confidence in the battle below! Only a few Spartan legions have different conditions. They are very morale and look forward to a contest with the First Legion of the Qin army!"
Seth thought for a moment and stood up, "Follow me downstairs and take a look!"
After coming out of the big tent, Seth suddenly stopped and asked, "I asked you to closely monitor the direction of the wings. Have you done it?"
Custer replied: "Fifty thousand cavalry have been sent to take on this mission!"
Seth said decisively: "Fifty thousand cavalry is not enough! The cavalry is not very useful in siege battles. He dispatched 120,000 cavalry to prepare for the two wings to fight, and sent enough scouts to monitor the two wings!" "Yes!"
The sight turned to Fengcheng, Qinxi.
Zhao Yun stood on the city gate tower and looked at the lights outside the city. The scene was like the stars in the sky.
"The enemy has brought millions of people, and I don't know how many follow-up troops are! This battle is probably very difficult!" General Yan Yan said with some emotion.
Zhao Yun ordered the generals: "You will go to the defense zone where you are responsible for later to inspect it again to ensure that everything is foolproof!" "Yes!"
At this time, a commander rushed to Zhao Yun. "General, the flying pigeon of the Great General of the Conquest of the South!" The so-called Great General of the Conquest of the South was Ma Chao.
Zhao Yun took the letter, read it, thought for a while, and ordered: "Tell Meng Qi, don't act rashly!" "Yes!"
The war on the front line was in full swing, and the rear was also a busy scene. Convoys from Okura from all over the country came toward the west. Sima Yi, the chief of the Western Regions, was very busy.
Sun Ce led 100,000 reinforcements to the Pamir Fortress. Almost all the 100,000 reinforcements under Sun Ce were not Han people, but servants gathered by the East and West Kushan. The army stopped at the Pamir Fortress and drove towards Qinxifeng. At the same time, the 100,000 guards from the Pamir Fortress had entered Aikebatana in the northeast of Qinxifeng.
Katharine stood by the railing of the attic and looked at the magnificent Luoyang City, and she couldn't help but feel mixed feelings, and various complex emotions echoed in her mind.
"Did you miss home?" Zhang Rui's voice came from behind.
Katharine turned around and saluted to Zhang Rui and said, "I've seen the Queen!"
Zhang Rui took charge of Katharin and pretended to be angry: "Didn't I say it? We are sisters in private!" He held Katharin's slender hand and sat down on the side of the small table in the attic. "Katharin, say anything in his heart, just say it to his sister!" Katharin couldn't help but show a weak look and said sadly: "Sister, why does the Qin Empire and the Ross Empire have to fight?" Zhang Rui was stunned, "Well! This matter is complicated! Maybe it's the so-called so-called "one mountain cannot withstand two tigers!" Then he said angrily: "Sister, this is their man's business, let's not think about these things! Besides, the Ross Empire now has nothing to do with you. The one who controls the empire is your father-killing enemy, that vicious woman!"
Kathryn sighed.
Zhang Rui pulled Catherine up, "Sister, don't be stuck at home, let's go out for a walk! I heard that there are a lot of good things coming from the jewelry pavilion of Qin Yue's family!" Speaking of this, Zhang Rui couldn't help but show her longing, "I really want to see it early!" Catherine couldn't help but ask curiously: "What is it?"
Zhang Rui gestured, "I heard from Sister Qin Yue that it seems to be a carved veil and some other gadgets, very beautiful!"
After hearing what Zhang Rui said, Katharine couldn't help but become interested. It's also a big deal that women have this problem, that is, they are particularly interested in shining things!
On the other side of the palace, Su Su, Tianhe, Yishan was discussing the war in front of him fiercely with the generals and the minister's children. Su Su looked like a general who was pointing in the country. Lu Bu's precious son looked very dissatisfied, but he didn't dare to say anything. His little butt was still hurt because he openly challenged the authority of Su Su's head. A group of children surrounded a large sand table. The sand table was made now. Although it looked a little simple, he marked out all the key points. This was the masterpiece of the barbaric girl Su Su.
After Su Su talked with her, she stomped down Petersburg, the capital of the Ross and Romans, the capital of the Romans, with her chin proudly raised her chin and said proudly: "If I were my dad, I would have beaten them down long ago!"
The children couldn't help but shivered. After taking the leads, Su Su was hit on the head. Several children hugged their heads and their cheeks, staring at Su Su angrily. Seeing Su Su swung her fists like a threat, the children immediately deflated like a leaking ball. Haha, these oppressed children have resisted, but they only ended up with a bruised nose and a swollen face in front of Su Su, who had full violence index.
Luoyang City is still as prosperous as it looks particularly brilliant under the sunshine. However, the atmosphere in Luoyang City at this time seemed a bit depressing, and the battle situation on the front line always touched people's thoughts.
People in the teahouse and wine shop were discussing the war in front of them. A drunkard said sadly: "I heard that the Sixth Army was wiped out!" His companion nodded, "The Sixth Army faced a million troops alone! That battle was so tragic! All 100,000 soldiers were all bloody on the battlefield, and they were all strong men! General Zhang Ren resolutely committed suicide in the enemy's siege! His courage was touching the earth!" Everyone could not suppress the excitement in their hearts, and raised their heads to pour the wine in their cup into their mouths.
At this time, several people came in from outside, with their heads raised. The waiter quickly greeted him, looking very respectful. Seeing this, a drinker said unconvincedly: "Who are these? It's amazing!" The companion whispered: "They are all General Zhang Ren's fellow countrymen!" Everyone suddenly realized, and the expression in their eyes changed from contempt to respect.
The sight returned to the fortress of Kelet.
The Qin army gathered in all directions at the Keret Fortress. Looking out from the fortress, there were flags surging and the army was as powerful as a tide. The scene was so hard that it made people's feet weak. The Ross soldiers on the fortress looked pale and their army was in turmoil.
Realizing the seriousness of the problem, Julia immediately took many measures, including promising land and money rewards, and exempting all soldiers from various taxes and labor services. These measures had a certain effect.
