Three Kingdoms open plug-ins everywhere

Under the bombardment of super trebuchets and other small trebuchets, the city wall of Boris was quickly smashed down, and this important pass city was quickly captured with [-] infantry.

After taking this place, the goods are in a hurry, and they continue to advance eastward, and expand the army along the way to recruit people to liberate slaves and serfs, and expand the main force from [-] to [-].

"Report! Commander, compare the generals to capture Polis, and is advancing all the way to the south of the Thrace province. At present, the fast attack has reached the coast of Marmara.

The general who shopped around sent me to ask the commander-in-chief, should we go north to assist the Thracians, first destroy the Eighth Army of Thracia, gain a foothold in Thrace, and attack other provinces, or continue to attack Byzantium in the northeast direction and cross the strait directly go east. "The confidant who shopped around ran back to report the battle situation on the front line.

Xu Ding waved his hand to let people take him down to rest, then asked Xiang Meng Yu and Soros, "What do you think?"

Chapter 704 How to Fight (Two in One)

"Commander, I don't think we can go north. We don't have so many troops and time to capture Thrace. It doesn't mean much to us to destroy the Eighth Army. We should cross the strait as soon as possible and go to the other side, so that we can go to the other side as soon as possible. There will be no more chasing troops, and we can expand our military in large quantities. If you want to-free-fee-watch-complete-full-version, please search on Baidu-" Soros said.

In the previous battle, there were only more than 4000 people left in his navy. Although he had been trained, the casualties were still a bit heavy.

Xu Ding looked at Meng Yu, and Meng Yu said: "We have a verbal agreement with the Thracians to attack the Roman army together, if we don't go north, we will be breaking our promise.

The Thracians will be hostile to us, and if we fight back in the future, the Thracians will no longer support us, and may even be against us.

Moreover, to attack Byzantium (Istanbul), we also need a safe rear. After all, Byzantium is the second largest city in the Roman Empire besides Rome.

It has a huge population, a large number of troops, a strong city, and there are also naval defenses. It will be difficult to defeat here for a while.

If the Thracian province is in our hands, we can attack Byzantium calmly. "

"Hey, General Meng, you are a bit wrong. The Thracians only recognize money and strength. If we don't have the strength and fight back in the future, they will definitely ignore us, and they will definitely not submit to our orders.

If we have the strength, it doesn't matter if they don't support us, until they are convinced, and the most important thing is that the Thracians don't talk about credibility.

When we go north, maybe they will come back with a retreat. They have always been punctual in marching and fighting. Can you guarantee that they will fight recklessly with the Roman army in the provinces?

If we never go north into Mercia or Dacia, let's not go north, or we will sink deeper. "After Soros finished speaking, he looked at Xu Ding.

He thought Xu Ding had already made up his mind.

Xu Ding said with a smile: "Our goal has never changed. Go east and east, and hit Armenia. We want to make these dozens of Roman provinces mess up. The more chaos the better for us.

Both of you are very reasonable. Byzantium is difficult to attack and it will take a lot of time. The Eighth Army in Thrace will definitely not be so easy to fight. We will not go north to take Mercia and Dacia.

So let's cross the Sea of ​​Marmara directly, cross over to fight Asia, pretend to attack Byzantium temporarily, and attract all the Roman navy of Marmara to Byzantium's side, and then we quietly go south to capture Troy. "

Instead of fighting Byzantium, attack Troy instead? (Troy was destroyed before BC, but later the Romans occupied it and rebuilt a new city. The specific name was not found, so this name is used as a landmark title)

Soros and Meng Yu quickly took a good look at the map on the table.

Troy is near the Dardanelles, one of the narrowest straits that run from the Black Sea to the Mediterranean.

To fight here, the infantry needs to turn a big bay and go south, and the road going south is not easy, far less feasible than going to Byzantium with the Roman road.

This poses a huge challenge to the logistical pressure on the military.

And once you go south and enter the narrow peninsula area, if you fail to cross the strait, you will be locked in the peninsula by the Roman army.

A more important question also appeared in Soros's mind. He hurriedly said: "Commander, if we cross the strait from here, all our ships will be abandoned and will not be able to be brought into the Black Sea. Our navy will no longer exist. value and significance."

Speaking of this, Soros showed a trace of bitterness on his face.

He managed to pull this navy together, the boat is the life of the navy, how would their navy survive without a boat.

Xu Ding patted him on the shoulder and said: "That's why I asked you to add the battle to eliminate Chuanpu just now, and your navy will be used as an army for a long time to come, and you need to attack from the ground with the infantry. I don't think you'll be able to survive without a serious battle as a preparatory exercise."

It turned out that the commander-in-chief had long planned for this.

Half of the naval forces were eliminated in the First World War, in order to adapt the naval forces to land warfare and prepare for the next eastward advance.

"Don't worry, there will be ships. Now we just give up these ships temporarily. We will have bigger ones in the future. When we arrive in the Black Sea, we will seize them and rebuild them.

When we came out of the city of Rome, weren't we also poor and empty, with nothing?

As long as we can win, we will get everything. " Xu Ding comforted.

Soros pondered for a long time, then raised his head and replied: "The commander-in-chief is right, as long as we can win, everything will be there. We are building new ones in the Black Sea."

Soon Shoppe received a new order from Xu Ding. In order to preserve its strength, it is not recommended to attack the Byzantium, and it will not go north to join the Thracians to attack the Eighth Army.

After understanding Xu Ding's strategic intentions, Huo Bi immediately assigned three generals under his command, and then attacked from three directions: northeast, north, and south.

And let them freely develop their forces, sweep all over the place, and grow their prestige.

Firmly attracted the attention of the Romans to the east of Thrace and Byzantium.

After Chuan Pu and his chasing army were wiped out, there was no trace of the chasing army behind Xu Ding in the following days.

Even the Roman navy didn't show up, and there was calm behind him, but Xu Ding knew that this was just the calm before the storm.

The Romans must have mobilized heavy troops behind them, but they can't know how many troops will come after them this time, and how determined the city of Rome will be.

The long road is always lonely, and the days without war are comfortable but boring.

Only then did Xu Ding remember that he should have won three battles, and he should have completed the mission.

So he quickly transferred Xiao Wu out.

"Xiao Wu, I should have completed the task, what about the reward?"

Xiao Wu replied: "Master, you have completed the task of defeating the Roman army three times, but you have not yet broken through the encirclement of the enemy."

"I haven't broken through the enemy's siege yet, but there is no enemy chasing me behind me. The pursuit force led by Chuan Pu has been killed by me. It will take time for the city of Rome to mobilize more troops." Xu Ding Some are dissatisfied.

Xiao Wu explained: "Master, you forgot, there are still enemies in front of you, and there are still a large number of Roman troops on the other side of the strait. Unless you can rush through their defense zone, the task will be completed immediately."

It may be that Xiao Wu can't explain in too much detail, such as the establishment and number of the Roman army on the other side, and so on.

Calculating the time, Xu Ding and the others had been fighting out of Rome for so long, and had been delayed for more than a month in the Macedonian province, the news had already spread to the other side.

The governors of the provinces on the other side and the standing army must have received orders and the like.

The strength of each checkpoint must have been strengthened, and I still have to go in this direction, which indirectly forms a semi-encirclement circle.

After thinking about it, Xu Ding knew that he had wrongly blamed Xiao Wu, so he didn't go deep into this topic, and quickly withdrew from it.

The march was very boring, during which Xu Ding withdrew twice and went back to the big man to deal with some official documents.

Generally speaking, nothing major happened on Weiyuan Island, and everything was developing in a positive direction.

It's just that as the autumn atmosphere is getting stronger, the princes have also started to move around, especially Yuan Shao's side is making more and more small moves.

This made Xu Ding think about Jizhou while rushing to the Strait, drawing maps of the northern states and counties in his mind, and then doing various deduction.
