Chapter 1172 Victory and Defeat
"That's really beautifully done!"
While the wild beast was wreaking havoc, Lu Meng's backup plan arrived at its destination.
Cao Ang and Sun Quan looked at Liu Chan who was retreating step by step, and a trace of fear flashed in their eyes. Liu Chan's foundation was too strong. Even a corps of imperial guards could only force Liu Chan to retreat, rather than directly cripple him.
However, on this kind of battlefield, the stronger Liu Chan and his men are, the better.
The ten veteran Yulin soldiers played an extremely important role. They advanced layer by layer, sniping the advance of the Mad Beast Legion in batches, while also covering the retreat of Liu Chan and others.
The right wing has been killed and scattered, and someone must hold back these wild beasts so that Liu Chan and his men can regroup and fight back.
"Tiger and Leopard Cavalry! Charge!" Cao Ang led his cavalry and aggressively charged into the battlefield, rushing straight towards the soldiers of the Mad Beast Legion.
“Bang!”
In an instant, more than a hundred wild beast soldiers were knocked flying, although Cao Ang's Tiger and Leopard Cavalry was far inferior to the regular Tiger and Leopard Cavalry under Cao Cao.
However, Cao Ang's army also had two hundred veteran Tiger and Leopard Cavalry soldiers, who served as the vanguard and caught the mad beast off guard.
"It's up to you , Sun Zhongmou, prepare for the legion attack!" Cao Ang roared, and angrily slashed out a legion attack at the wild beast soldiers in front of him. Dozens of tiny light blades flew in all directions.
"Checks and balances!" At this moment, Sun Quan also sprinkled the brilliance of his monarch's talents on the elite troops of Danyang under his command.
The Danyang elite, who had been well prepared, directly pulled the ten-stone strong bow, and shot arrows with sharp whistles towards the wild beast army.
Cao Ang's legion's attack did not cause any casualties, but it completely weakened the cloud protection of the Mad Beast Legion to the extreme.
At this moment, the attacks of Danyang's elite troops all fell on the wild beast soldiers in front of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry.
Each arrow shot from a ten-stone strong bow was powerful enough to kill a soldier. The five thousand Danyang elite soldiers only shot one thousand arrows. The Danyang elite soldiers worked together in groups of five to maximize the power of the bow and arrow.
Either the arrows missed the target or went straight through the body. The concentrated fire from such a powerful rain of arrows caused the casualties of the Wild Beast soldiers to rise sharply.
"Continue!" Seeing that the attack was effective, Sun Quan immediately ordered another attack.
However, a sudden force emerged. Justinian, who had been following the Wild Beast Legion, burst out with astonishing speed and ran towards Sun Quan quickly in a phantom-like manner.
"Damn it, it's a legion of sharp warriors!" Sun Quan was a little crazy. He said that he felt there was a huge danger here. He originally thought that the threat was the Wild Beast Legion, but he didn't expect it to be the legion hidden behind the other side.
High speed and light equipment, these two symbols assembled in Sun Quan's mind form a sharp warrior with high attack and low defense.
Moreover, at a glance, there is no way to determine the opponent's exact position, all is blurry light and shadow.
If we really wait for the enemy to get close, I'm afraid the entire Danyang elite army will be killed instantly.
"Retreat!" Sun Quan chose to order the retreat without hesitation, and then bestowed his monarchical talent on his own people, intending to give up something else in exchange, but then he changed his mind and thought that it might be too late to bestow any talent at this time.
"You must do it!" Sun Quan's eyes were blazing, and he shone the light of a monarch's talent on his opponent.
The high-speed army that had originally created an illusion suddenly found it difficult to move forward under the light of Sun Quan's monarchical talent.
"It's done!" Sun Quan was overjoyed.
He directly equalized the speed between his opponent and himself, so that both sides would always maintain a safe distance!
At such a distance, it is obvious that the legion capable of long-range attacks has the advantage.
Lu Meng, who was originally planning to dispatch troops to rescue, suddenly had a bright look in his eyes. His opponent's surprise was interrupted by the rise of Sun Quan, so he could gain more insights.
Lu Meng led his troops to attack fiercely, and the right wing indeed collapsed, but the Roman armies in the other three directions did not seem to be in such a good situation either.
Especially Caracalla who was besieged by Jiang Wei, Deng Ai and Zhong Hui. Even though Belisarius tried very hard to save Caracalla, it was still of no avail.
After all, it was a weakened version of the Thirteen Rose Legion. No matter how good at defense it was, it fell down in hatred under the siege of several elite troops of the same level.
Just like the fate of the first Thirteen Rose Legion, Caracalla and his bodyguards were hacked to death at the same time.
The battle situation on the right wing was completely broken with Justinian's outbreak. Realizing that he could not catch up with Sun Quan, Justinian turned back and attacked Cao Ang's Tiger and Leopard Cavalry.
The Tiger and Leopard Cavalry were not spared and were directly defeated by Justinian's shock corps and wild beast corps.
Cao Ang fought hard, but was still defeated from both sides and then beheaded by Justinian and his personal guards.
After Sun Quan had created a safe distance, he fired crazily without distinguishing between friend and foe, sending Justinian to accompany Cao Ang.
The positioning of the Assault Legion and the Sharp Warriors is basically the same, and their main features are short-range burst and high-speed movement. However, once they are caught in a position, they will instantly become a sieve after a round of arrow rain.
The deaths of Cao Ang and Justinian dragged the war into its later stages, and both sides began to fight to the death.
Romulus led the Wild Beast Legion to break through all the defense lines on the right wing, rushed into the empty rear army and went straight for Lu Meng. Lu Meng did not dodge, and when Romulus rushed to him, he directly drew out the clouds and condensed a big sword that pierced through the sky and the earth, and chopped it down with himself as the landing point.
The rear army and the wild beast army were destroyed by the greatsword almost at the same time, but when the smoke and dust cleared, Romulus ran out with his seriously injured body and hundreds of remaining soldiers.
However, when Romulus looked up at the situation on the battlefield, he found that the situation was already over.
He did kill his way through the right wing and killed Lu Meng, the commander of the army, but Lu Meng did this on purpose, in order to take away his difficult-to-handle Imperial Guard Corps.
Under the previous continuous command, most of the soldiers had been deployed by Lu Meng according to their camps to the vicinity of Jiang Wei and others.
After Lu Meng died, the three men instantly led an army each, and cooperated with Xu Sheng, Zhao Guang and Zhao Tong who launched a sneak attack from behind, and directly surrounded Belisarius.
Liu Chan, who had retreated earlier, had also reorganized his army and rushed towards Romulus with two legions composed of remnants of his defeated troops.
"Defeated!" Romulus smiled bitterly.
However, Romulus did not give up at all. He roared and rushed towards Liu Chan with his remaining troops.
Finally, after risking his life to take Guan Xing and Zhang Bao away, he died at the hands of the crazy Guan Ping.
"I've lost completely!" When Romulus was resurrected in reality, he had already seen Justinian, Caracalla and others.
He smiled bitterly and shook his head at the two of them. It was not unfair for them to lose this time. It was not fair between the two sides, but it was fair nonetheless.
Even Romulus understood that the moment he looked up, they had already lost the war.
The final resistance could only cause huge casualties to the Han Dynasty, and victory was completely impossible.
After Belisarius was stabbed to death by Jiang Wei and resurrected in reality, he also made a gesture to others with difficulty.
The final outcome of the war was that their entire army was wiped out, and only less than 30% of the Han people survived.
The fight was extremely brutal, but both sides still lost, and the remains of heaven belonged to the Han Dynasty.
"The Han Dynasty is indeed very strong!" Belisarius sighed. Although Lu Meng was killed before him, what happened afterwards was completely within Lu Meng's calculations.
In general, they had a fight, but even with the absence of Saladin and Lucius who was sent away at the beginning, it was difficult for them to win.
What's more, the opponent was only half as strong as the young people of the Han Dynasty. It can be said that they lost miserably this time.
The battle situation was soon brought to Penilence's desk from all angles.
"Not bad!" Penilence nodded as he looked at the analysis and reflections above. More sweat in peacetime means less bleeding in battle. As long as there is progress, it is a good thing.
But they lost in the end. Penilence thought about finding a place to fight back from other places, so he planned to send people to deal with the Yuan family, and by the way, let the legion commanders such as Graz and Leonardo, who were not old guys, have some good training.
However, the battlefield on the Yuan family's side cannot be dealt with in a small way like these young people.
After thinking about the Yuan family's lineup that he had seen in heaven before, Penilence selected seven Eagle Flag Legions and a million barbarian troops, intending to strengthen the Yuan family and find some ground to fight.
After thinking it over for a while, Penelence stuffed Belisarius and others into the expeditionary force.
Anyway, the main purpose is training, so just cram them all in. The battlefield on the Yuan family's side is always more reliable than such a simulated war, and the intensity of the battlefield on the Yuan family's side is also low, so there won't be too many casualties, which is just right for these young people.
"However, if this is the case, we need to find a stabilizer..." Penilence hesitated for a long time and sent the Rose Legion out. It would be more meaningful to give the job of being a nanny to the defensive troops.
Moreover, the Military Soul Corps will not touch the sensitive nerves of the Han Dynasty too much, so it is the most appropriate one.
As for the central commander, Penilence did not intend to send him. He just let the young man do it. It would be the same anyway if he sent a million barbarian troops.
The fact that dual talents can be formed quickly makes the threat of the barbarians increase sharply. They must consume the young and strong barbarians as soon as possible, and then absorb the surviving elites to prepare to use them as cannon fodder in the larger war between empires.
…
On the other hand, Sun Quan, who was discovered to have amazing talents, was transferred to the sea and became the Governor-General of the Four Seas. For Sun Quan, this was definitely a promotion.
In fact, the significance of this place for breeding Gu lies in this, to improve the strength of these young people in the constant wars and battles, and then arrange them to suitable positions.
The remains of heaven were taken away by Luoyang, and then the merits were recorded according to the contributions. These merits can be redeemed from Chen Xi, and there is almost no upper limit to the exchange. It can even be a shield guard army, or a Yulin army to quell a rebellion, or the god of war to take action.
However, these things require a lot of merit.
However, only Sun Quan's was cleared out, and all were counted as part of the promotion expenses.
As for Cao Pi, he asked Chen Xi for an immigration permit, intending to migrate some tribes from the American continent directly here, which could be regarded as a roundabout way to strengthen his power.
Cao Pi, who had already gone down a path to the end, had no intention of turning back. He planned to continue on this path and eventually rule his kingdom according to the political system of Roman citizens and barbarians.
As spring came to the east, most of the remaining wreckage of paradise fell into the hands of Rome and the Han Dynasty. Even though the three American countries were not very shameless, there were very few wars that they could win in the end.
Although the three countries formed an alliance, large numbers of their people were moving towards Kushan and Great Britain, and their strength was gradually declining.
Although the border defense network is strong enough, everyone knows that one day they will be defeated by the undead.
Therefore, almost all tribes and nobles were trying to move to another continent.
Although the Han Dynasty also had the idea of suppressing the Undead from occupying an entire continent, it could only let Zheng He and Gan Ning harass the Undead Empire on the ocean and create a little chaos for the Undead from the coast from time to time.
However, the Han Dynasty, unable to free its hands, could only watch as the undead devoured the entire American continent bit by bit.
The Han Dynasty was waiting, waiting for Rome and Great Britain to fight, waiting for the decisive battle between the undead and the American continent. Only at this time would it be the time to launch a general attack on the Kushan Empire.
Before that, we can only wait. There are only a few top forces in this world, and any move will affect the entire body.
Everyone was on high alert, fearing that if a small accident happened that day, the war would completely burn the entire world.
But these had nothing to do with Guo Hao, he was holding his own children.
Liu Ying gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl, and Dong Bai gave birth to a son. This was a cause for celebration for the Han Dynasty.
The son of Liu Ying and Guo Hao obviously had the most legitimate right to inherit the Han Empire.
Both in terms of legal principles and strength, the future that no one wants to see has been avoided.
The eldest son is named Liu Ji, the second daughter is named Guo Huixin, and the third son is named Guo Kaiye.
This name was picked out at random from the paper balls that were written by various advisers in the Government Affairs Hall. I don't know who wrote it, but the name was decided happily.
As the saying goes, God blesses us. Guo Hao, who carries the will of the empire, feels that these may be arrangements by fate, so he happily accepted these names.
He took his three children with great enthusiasm and played with Tuanzi in Shanglinyuan every day. Since there was no war, he didn't need to worry about most things. Accompanying the children was the most important thing for him at the moment.
"General, the Prime Minister invites you! A meeting has been held in Weiyang Palace!" Just as Guo Hao was jumping up and down in Shanglin Garden, holding one in each hand and riding another on his head, an old soldier interrupted this warm moment.
"Got it!" After sending the three children back to their mother, Guo Hao came to the Weiyang Palace with a frown.
"What happened!" Guo Hao frowned. The Weiyang Palace was usually only opened for court meetings and would not be used unless it was a major event.
"Rome is sending troops!"
