Chapter 1251: The beginning of the Roman War in the Central Plains
The Roman investigators disappeared one after another, which attracted Zhang Liao's attention. He is now responsible for collecting the Central Plains army. Of course, he has to ask clearly.
However, no one he asked knew where those people had gone and how they disappeared.
According to the plan, Zhang Liao could have led his troops to fight against the Central Plains army, but Apudul felt that it was not an opportunity and did not agree with Zhang Liao's suggestion.
As a result, Zhang Liao felt that Apudul did not fully trust him. Therefore, he did not make any suggestions, so as not to be suspicious of Apudul and the subsequent plans could not be carried out.
...
...
The current monarch of Rome was Apudul, no longer Diocletian. The barbarians in the west of Rome took the conditions Diocletian promised to negotiate with Apudul, and were scolded by Apudul.
The barbarians who are busy in vain are not so easy to talk to!
They helped Diocletian. Although they failed to successfully drive away the Central Plains army, many of their barbarian soldiers were killed or injured.
If they do not receive compensation from Rome, they will not let it go.
Diocletian wanted to negotiate with the barbarians, but the attitude and practice of the barbarians had already made Apdul unhappy, and Diocletian had no way to stop the Roman army from suppressing the barbarians.
Suppressing the barbarians is not an easy task. Apdul originally sent his confidant to suppress the barbarians. Who knew that the confidant who usually performed well turned into a soft-legged shrimp when he arrived on the battlefield and was chopped by the barbarians.
They could not defeat the Central Plains army in the Mediterranean, but they were still defeated by the barbarians. Apudul was in a bad mood.
At the end of his life, in order to increase morale, Apdul had to send heavy troops to replace Zhang Liao in defensive army and transfer Zhang Liao to the west to deal with the barbarians.
Not to mention that as soon as Zhang Liao arrived, the morale of the Roman army immediately rose. There was no way, Zhang Liao defeated the Suzaku Legion in the Central Plains and was too famous.
Zhang Liao himself lived up to expectations and led the Roman army to sweep the barbarian army and drove the barbarians out of the territory of the Roman Empire.
It is worth mentioning that during Zhang Liao's campaign against the barbarians, Dongfang Qiang led a large army to attack, and none of the Roman generals could fight, allowing the Suzaku Legion to break through five castles and destroy a small principality.
Just now, Zhang Liao returned in triumphantly and was immediately sent to the front line by Apdul to face Dongfangqiang.
This can be considered a matter of helping Zhang Liao to solve his worries. After all, what Zhang Liao said himself wanted to beat Dongfang Qiang on the battlefield.
When Zhang Liao returned to the front line, the Roman army immediately stabilized its position. It was no longer as easy for the Suzaku Legion to continue to seize the castle.
In Constantinople, in Apdul's bedroom, seeing the military information on the front line, Apdul's gloomy expression for several days finally changed.
"Let the Second Army go to the front line and obey General Zhang Liao's order!" Apdul ordered.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" The soldiers outside the door immediately went down and sent an order. When Zhang Liao returned to the battlefield, their face of Rome was finally saved, so Apdul was preparing to give Zhang Liao another army force to let him play his freely.
The Central Plains army began to launch an attack, and the contradiction between Rome and the Central Plains was irreconcilable.
Of course, in Apudul's view, it was him who asked Zhang Liao to regain the castle torn apart, making the Supreme Emperor of the Central Plains know that Apudul was unwilling to be a puppet and wanted to resist.
But since he was about to tear apart sooner or later, Apudul would not sit still and wait for death, he had already prepared.
The Second Army was thrown to Commander Zhang Liao, and the attacking pace of the Central Plains army was dragged down. The Roman navy went around the Red Sea to block the return of the Central Plains navy, and then slowly used Rome's local combat advantage to slowly kill the Central Plains army.
The Central Plains fleet in the Mediterranean seems extremely powerful, but in fact it is rootless duckweed. If the supply is cut off, Apudul feels that they will panic!
As Apdul's plan unfolds and the battle on land, there was Zhang Liao in Rome focusing on the front line, Diocletian coordinated the overall situation and dispatched various resources.
On the sea, the Roman fleet went out on the strait west of the Mediterranean, circled around and helped the Red Sea up.
Of course, this plan has a chance to succeed, as long as Zhang Liao can resist Dongfang Qiang's attack.
At the beginning of the war, Zhang Liao fought vigorously, and Apdul felt at ease to let the fleet go out to sea.
Ten days, that is, when the Roman Navy had just left the Mediterranean, on the front battlefield, Zhang Liao fought with the Central Plains army, and was eventually captured alive! The army was defeated!
Zhang Liao was arrested, and this news was like a bolt from the blue for Apdul!
He had already relied on Zhang Liao to resist the Central Plains army, but now his most important question was captured alive.
There are not many people who can capture Zhang Liao alive when fighting alone, but the person Zhang Liao met was Zhao Yun of the Qilin Legion!
When he saw Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao was ready to be captured alive!
The Qilin Legion was dispatched, which means that the Central Plains army had launched a full-scale attack and began to occupy important places in Rome and force Rome to surrender.
On the day Zhang Liao was arrested, the Roman army was really "defeated thousands of miles and buried a million corpses!" The Central Plains army used bloody facts to tell Rome that when the strength gap came, the war was a battle.
The Qilin Legion is the main attack, and the Suzaku Legion is long-range support, and it is unstoppable.
Because the Dragon Fleet stayed in the Mediterranean had no opponent, they could only shoot two cannons on the shore every day to express their anger and loneliness.
"Grand Emperor, please let General Mo go ashore to fight the war!" Gan Ning begged on the flagship No. 1. Seeing that others could not go to fight, he felt like a little cat was living in his heart, and he was so furious.
"Xingba, you are the supreme commander of the navy. How can you envy the army?" Wu Shun said with a smile.
"The Supreme Emperor, the last generals don't envy them, they just fought without a war, they're very itchy." Gan Ning smiled wryly, he just envied others for fighting.
"I really don't understand you!" Wu Shun shook his head and said.
The navy was not fine. When the war was going on, they had to control the Mediterranean and could not allow Rome to obtain any assistance from the sea.
Furthermore, the warships of the Jiaolong Fleet were cruising in the Mediterranean, forming a powerful deterrent force, which made the Romans dare not approach the Mediterranean. The wounded soldiers in the Central Plains army who participated in the war could be safely recovered from nearby.
The Jiaolong Fleet can also send wounded soldiers back to the country, and then carry weapons and food to support the continuation of the war.
After all, the war has begun, and the Central Plains army cannot continue to obtain supplies from Rome, and it depends entirely on its own transportation by sea.
Overall, Gan Ning, who had no combat missions, actually had a heavy burden on his own. However, Gan Ning was a war madman and only wanted to kill the enemy, transport supplies, etc., and all of them were left to Su Fei to deal with.
