After confirming the information brought by Zhang Liao, Diocletian was very happy. Without the interference of the Central Plains army, he had never been afraid of the Persians in his territory.

You know, the Persian invasions were repelled by Rome in the past.

However, for safety reasons, after Zhang Liao became a hostage, Diocletian was not in a hurry to make any battle plans. He had to figure out the true intentions of the Central Plains first.

The Persian king Alexander still did not receive help from Dongfangqiang. They wanted to go further, but unfortunately the Central Plains army refused to provide them with assistance for various reasons.

This situation angered Alexander, but he had no choice. He could not afford to offend the Central Plains army if it was left there.

The war lasted too long, and it was unsustainable in Persia. Persia hoped to end the war earlier.

They belong to the attacking side and were unwilling to continue fighting and could retreat quietly. The Romans did not dare to pursue them easily.

After confirming that Dongfangqiang is unwilling to continue to provide remote support, Alexander already has the intention to retreat.

Although the Roman Empire declined, its foundation was still there. It was very difficult for them to kill Persia to reach the Mediterranean.

Alexander meant to retreat, and the attack of the Persian army was reduced a lot. Over time, the number of active attacks of the Persian army attracted Diocletian's attention!

The Roman army tried to take the initiative to attack, and the Persians resisted strongly, but when the Romans retreated, they did not pursue them without normalcy.

All signs indicate that Alexander, the king of Persia, was about to retreat.

"General Zhang Liao, do you think the Persians will withdraw to Persia in three days?"

In a big tent, Diocletian looked at Zhang Liao with shock.

Today Zhang Liao came to him and brought him this exciting news.

"His Majesty Diocletian, have your scouts not noticed the Persians' recent abnormality?" Zhang Liao asked back.

He knew that the date of the Persian retreat was naturally sent by Dongfangqiang.

"The Persians have been a little abnormal recently, but this does not prove that they are leaving. The barbarian Alexander was determined to capture Rome, so how could he give up easily?" Diocletian still had doubts.

"Your Majesty, this news was sent by General Dongfang, so there will be no problem with the authenticity." Zhang Liao said.

In order to make Diocletian believe, Zhang Liao had to move out of Dongfangqiang.

"I want to know what will happen to General Oriental?" Diocletian said.

"Our Suzaku Legion will not follow the Persians to retreat to Persia. General Eastern means that after the war is over, I hope to follow His Majesty to return to the Central Plains from the Mediterranean." Zhang Liao said.

"So, your Oriental General had a quarrel with the Persians?" Diocletian was amused. If Oriental Qiang was very unhappy with Alexander, Rome would have some benefits.

"The Persians deceived us with fake news, and General Dongfang was very angry." Zhang Liao said.

Only this reason can make Diocletian believe what he said.

"If we pursue the Romans, can your army help intercept?" Diocletian wanted to know whether the Central Plains army would take some measures against the Persians after being deceived.

"Your Majesty is joking. I am already hostage in your military camp. Do you still know what General Dongfang means?" Zhang Liao said with a smile.

Wasn't his purpose here to provide courage to the Roman army in Persia?

"Okay, I understand. In three days, the Persians will not want to retreat easily! General Zhang Liao, if possible, I hope to get the assistance of your army. If you want to go home by sea, I can agree." Diocletian said.

"Thank you, Your Majesty. I am asking you to notify General Dongfang and provide assistance to Your Majesty when necessary." After Zhang Liao said that, he stood up and said goodbye.

Zhang Liao could not decide whether Dongfangqiang would assist, but it was a foregone conclusion that the Suzaku Legion returned from the Mediterranean.

I believe that in the near future, the news that the Central Plains Dragon Fleet arrived in the Mediterranean will reach Diocletian.

With the information provided by Zhang Liao, through recent contact feedback with the Persians, Diocletian decided to launch a large-scale counterattack against the Persians three days later.

After all, I have come here, so it is not that easy to go back.

...

...

In three days, there was no friction between the Persian and Roman troops, because the Persian king decided to withdraw his troops and the Persian army was about to return. However, because the Roman troops wanted to get accurate information, they secretly sent people to investigate in small batches.

That night, the Persian camp was quiet and surprisingly quiet.

Outside the camp, Persian troops walked out in teams, each of them with an excited smile on their faces.

But how well the war was fought, they were finally able to go home alive.

Not long after the Persian withdrawal began, a swaying swayed in the distance, and there were obviously a large number of people marching at a high speed.

In the darkness, Alexander could only order the army behind the palace to form a formation to meet the enemy!

The withdrawal of troops may be discovered, so Alexander also arranged to post it properly for the matter of closure.

When the torches were lit, rows of Persian troops behind the temple appeared. When the Roman troops who were advancing saw that the Persians were prepared, they were not afraid and chose to rush forward directly!

An offensive and defensive battle begins in the dark!

In order to delay the retreat of the Persians, the Roman army attacked very fiercely, and they used cavalry to attack the Persian army. In order to stop the Roman cavalry, the Persian army suffered heavy casualties for a while!

But don't forget that Persia is powerful because of the cavalry! Although most of their cavalry rushed into Rome and caused damage, there were still some cavalry left to follow Alexander.

The fierce attack of the Romans also angered Alexander. He didn't know who leaked the news and asked the Roman legion to dispatch them to intercept them.

In order to get rid of the interference of the Roman army, Alexander ordered the cavalry to attack the Roman wings, disrupting the rhythm of the Roman army's offensive and winning some time for the army to retreat.

In the dark night, whether it was Diocletian or Alexander, they didn't know how much troops the other party had invested, and they could only make a judgment based on the shouts of killing in front of them.

Of course, Diocletian got Zhang Liao's prompt, and almost all the legions that could be used were sent.

The fierce attack on the Roman side caused the troops left behind by the Persian king to be in a hurry. Even if the cavalry attacked, because of the dark night, the Roman soldiers could not see the situation on the battlefield and rushed with their heads in silence, and the Persian cavalry was also damaged a lot.

This may be the most fierce attack of Rome and Persian wars!
