Chapter 1227: their respective plans
The war two days ago caused considerable losses to Roman Persia. The Persian legion silently restored its strength under the protection provided by the Eastern Force. The Roman army also quietly licked their minions in their castle.
Neither side made too much moves, and some sporadic small-scale battles that did not affect the overall situation were constantly underway.
Both Diocletian and Alexander wanted to figure out the other party's intentions.
As for the majesty of the Roman Empire, Diocletian wanted to drive the invading Persians back to their hometown and reshape the Romans' invincible belief.
Alexander was different. He hoped to lead the Persian legion to flatten Rome and spread the power and glory of the Persian Empire across the Western continent.
Of course, without the help of the Central Plains army, Alexander would not have such an idea, so Alexander ran to the camp of the Suzaku Legion whenever he had time.
After coming over every few days, Dongfangqiang had a headache.
Because Dongfangqiang was not sure, Alexander visited so frequently, for drinking or fighting.
If you want to attack Rome, then as long as the Persian army has rested, you can start. The Suzaku Legion only provides long-range assistance and will not enter the frontal battlefield.
If he wanted to drink, he would only have two jars of immortal wines he brought from Kyoto.
He still has to keep some of this wine. Gao Shun and Zhang Liao are also good at drinking. They can't drink without wine after making contributions.
After eating and drinking, Persian King Alexander had no intention of saying goodbye, so Zhang Liao could not sit still.
"Your Majesty, how was your army resting? The Romans on the opposite side became more and more energetic." Zhang Liao said.
"Hmph, let them be proud for another two days, and wait until our Persian warriors recover their strength and look good as they do!" The Persian king said loudly.
After a cup of wine, the Persian king continued, "General of the East, I wonder if the Suzaku Legion is sure to break through the Romans' defense line? As long as their defense line is broken, I will send a virtuous and brave cavalry unit to directly break into the interior of Rome and to upend him."
The Persian king's expression was not like nonsense after drinking. From the murderous sentences, Dongfang Qiang could see that the Persian king was serious.
"The Romans' defense line is useless in front of me! As long as the Persian king needs it, I will do my best." Dongfang Qiang said.
Wu Shun had already set out from the sea, and Dongfang Qiang didn't want to stay here to confront the Romans.
"Hahahaha, I know that the Eastern General will not disappoint people!" The Persian king smiled.
Dongfang Qiang's confidence largely gave Alexander the confidence to make a decision!
With Dongfang Qiang behind and the Suzaku Legion behind, their Persian army would not be slaughtered even if they were defeated.
People in the Central Plains will not sit and watch their friends beneath their enemies!
"The King of Persia, I don't know when the return army will be ready to fight, and where does our Suzaku Legion need to be blown away?"
Dongfang Qiang wanted to determine both the goal and the time. Only when he knew the target to be bombed could he make corresponding arrangements and plans.
"How will it happen in five days? Your artillery arrangement will also take time." The Persian King Alexander Avenue.
Indeed, it took some time for the Suzaku Legion to build a cannon formation. In order to be foolproof, the Persian King made some considerations for Dongfang Qiang.
Only by obtaining the strong cooperation of the Suzaku Legion and tearing open the Romans' defense line can their cavalry rush in and implement his plan.
"Five days? Then there will be five days. Please ask the Persian king to formulate a position that needs to be bombarded as soon as possible! At the same time, pay attention to the infiltration of Roman scouts and do not disclose the plan." Dongfang Qiang said.
The five-day preparation time is a bit long, which is a challenge for planning confidentiality.
"Don't worry, General Oriental, it will not be revealed. Only a few people know about this plan!" Persian King Alexander laughed.
Send cavalry to stir up the interior of Rome to disrupt Deaucletian's deployment. This plan was something Alexander thought about for a long time before he thought about it.
Their advantage is that they have many cavalry and are powerful!
This time, Alexander wanted to use the high maneuverability of the cavalry to teach the Romans a lesson!
It is definitely not a wise choice to confront the Roman phalanx head-on! It is difficult for cavalry to break through the three-meter-long spear formation...
He chatted with Dongfangqiang for a long time, and until he drank a jar of immortal wine, the Persian king Alexander said goodbye with the help of his servant.
Gao Shun and Zhang Liao felt uncomfortable when they looked at the empty wine jar - after all, they are the kings of a country, so why do they go here to eat and drink every day?
"General Gao Shun, General Zhang Liao, and the King of Persia have very good plans. This time, some of the Romans were busy." Dongfang Qiang said.
"I don't know if the Romans are busy or not, our Suzaku Legion will have to spend a large number of shells," said Zhang Liao.
To tear open the Romans' defense line, it is not enough to rely on the Persian army alone. The Suzaku Legion also has to throw away a large number of shells and directly blow up the Romans' defense line. These shells also cost money.
Although the Vermilion Bird Legion had almost no casualties in the war, it was very scary to say that the amount of shells consumed.
If it weren't for the wealth of the Central Plains, how could the Suzaku Legion be able to fight like this? Throwing shells is like throwing stone bullets before, it is simply too boastful.
"The shell costs a little bit, and it is better for the Persians to fight it than we do it ourselves. It's not the time for us to do it with all our strength."
Dongfang Qiang said.
At this stage, when the Persians are willing to fight against the front battlefield, they will let them fight if they are willing to fight. If they are not willing to fight, they will have to tempt them.
Because Wu Shun was still floating on the sea, if the naval fleet arrived in Rome one day and the Persian army was not good, Dongfang Qiang would take action by himself.
"Oh, now I have to do this first. It's really worrying to watch Persians fight!"
Zhang Liao complained.
He saw a lot of Persian battles. The coordination between military formations, the cooperation between troops, and the fighting style between large armies made Zhang Liao want to rush over and command them.
But what's annoying is that this situation has to continue. Wu Shun is less than Rome for a day, and their Suzaku Legion cannot show its true combat power for a day.
"General Gao Shun, the Persian King may ask me to send an Iron Armored Battalion to help them conduct a frontal attack, but I am not able to refuse." Dongfang Qiang said.
"What the general means is that our Iron Armored Battalion refuses to fight?" Gao Shun asked.
The frontal offensive ability of the Iron Armor Battalion is almost unstoppable without corresponding arrangements.
Both the Romans and the Persians have a deep understanding of this.
"Yes, you don't want to fight in the Iron Armored Camp! The Romans are not stupid, they must be prepared for it. If the Iron Armored Camp fights, they will definitely be damaged, and it is not worth it!" Dongfang Qiang said.
"The last general understands!" The main general said that he understood so much, and of course Gao Shun knew how to do it.
It would be fine if the Persian king did not come and requested to fight. If he came, Gao Shun would have to lose face.
Chapter completed!
