Chapter 1567 The army gathers

Zhang Ren asked jokingly: "General Ma, have you not brought us some spoils back this time?" The generals started to cheer.

Ma Chao glared at his eyes and said seriously: "Do you think I am a bandit?" The generals couldn't help laughing louder.

Zhao Yun smiled and said, "Meng Qi went deep into the enemy's territory to fight in depth. It would be rare to destroy the opponent's reserves! How could it be seized!" Ma Chao nodded and said with regret: "It's really painful to see so many things but can't take them away!" His expression of emotion made people laugh. The generals couldn't help laughing.

At this time, a messenger rushed into the lobby and reported: "General, General Yan Yan's urgent flying pigeon delivers a letter!" "Yan Yan?! Is there something wrong with him? Come on!" The messenger Yingnuo and took out a letter and presented it to Zhao Yun.

Zhao Yun looked at it quickly and his face changed. "What's wrong with Zilong?" Ma Chao asked urgently. Zhao Yun handed the letter to Ma Chao and said in a deep voice: "Yan Yan's defensive front is lost!" The generals were shocked. Zhang Ren said with a worried look on his face: "In this way, Dura Europos will be in danger, and our army is also at risk of being cut off by the other party!"

Zhao Yun said: "Our 100,000 reinforcements have retreated to Dura Europos! In addition, Yan Yan's remnants are also retreating to Dura Europos! Moreover, the city is well equipped! With the current troops in Yusufu's hands, it is impossible to break through the city defense!"

Ma Chao put down the letter in his hand and couldn't help but curse, "Zilong, why not just mobilize the troops to destroy this Yousufu first!"

Zhao Yun couldn't help but be moved. Based on the current situation, the Qin army could do this. Zhao Yun thought for a while and said decisively: "Okay! Since You Sufu wants to be a hero, let's help him!" Ma Chao said excitedly: "I will lead the cavalry to attack!"

Zhao Yun shook his head and said, "No! There are hundreds of thousands of troops under Yousufu's command, a considerable number of them are the main legion, and the cavalry alone cannot win! The first legion, Canglang Camp, and Xianbei legion all went up!" Ma Chao was stunned, "No need to be so many, right?" Zhao Yun said decisively, "Since we want to fight, we must do our best! Meng Qi, we don't have much time, are you sure to defeat Yousufu within half a month?" Ma Chao slapped his chest suddenly, "Zilong, don't worry!"

"Okay!~~" Zhao Yun returned to the position of commander and said seriously: "Ma Chao obeys the order!" "Here you immediately lead the First Legion, Canglang Camp and Xianbei Legion to Dura Europos to be responsible for the battle against Yusufu!"

"Yes!" Ma Chao took the order arrow from Zhao Yun, clasped his fists at Zhao Yun, and quickly withdrew from the tent. Zhao Yun immediately ordered the troops left behind in Kali to take strict defense. If Ma Chao led the army to leave, then the army left behind in Kali would be only one Eighth Corps, the Rest and the Western Regions Alliance. Although the total force was more than 200,000, the overall combat power was not strong. At the same time, the elite Romans led by Seth joined the urgently mobilized 300,000 local security forces in Macedonia, and nearly one million troops drove towards the eastern front.

Among these million armies, nearly 600,000 troops were the regular armies of Rome, including three elite Spartan legions, which were the core main force of the entire Roman Empire. If they were also defeated by the Qin army, the Roman Empire would collapse.

At present, Rome has invested in the thirteen Eastern provinces in an extremely large army. Not to mention Seth's army, there are hundreds of thousands of troops of General Yusufu and hundreds of thousands of reinforcements who arrived in advance. The hundreds of thousands of reinforcements who arrived in advance are the army that fought with Ma Chao before. There are two regular corps in this army. Although the Athenian garrison and Macedonian garrisons are only guards, their combat power is not inferior to that of ordinary imperial main corps.

The Roman Empire had mobilized all his powers, and the Qin army was afraid it would be difficult to gain a advantage! Just as the larger war clouds in the thirteen eastern provinces began to gather, the offensive and defensive war in Jerusalem was in full swing. The rebels attacked Jerusalem one after another. Although Jerusalem was high and the river was wide, it seemed to be crumbling. At the same time, the part of the Jerusalem defenders who were restrained by the partial division led by Alex on the edge of the desert launched a counterattack against Alex.

The two sides fought fiercely in the desert, and Alex led the army to retreat. The Roman army was overjoyed and pursued them relentlessly. The Roman army pursued a strange terrain, which was called the Demon Castle, and there were rocky mountains that were eroded by the wind. Whenever the wind blew, it made a sound like a ghost crying and howling, which made people shudder. Some people thought that this was a demon shouting, so they called the Demon Castle.

The Roman army entered the Demon Castle and couldn't help but feel panic when they heard the sound of ghosts and wolves crying in their ears. At this time, it was already late. A scout rushed to the general to report: "General, the rebels fled to the depths of the desert!"

The Roman general frowned and said in confusion: "Are these rebels looking for death?" "General, do we continue to pursue?" asked an officer next to him, looking a little hesitant.

The Roman general thought for a moment and said, "Our supplies cannot be guaranteed to go deep into the desert to fight! But it is too late now, so we will rest here for one night and rush back to Jerusalem tomorrow morning!" "Yes!" That night, the Roman army tossed and turned amid the howling of ghosts and wolves.

At this time, tens of thousands of black shadows were being distributed from all sides to gather towards the Demon Castle, but the Roman army did not realize it at all.

The sentinels to the west of the Roman army were first touched off, and then tens of thousands of rebels rushed into the Roman army camp under the cover of the wind. Screams rang out and the moon gradually turned red. The next day, Alex led tens of thousands of rebels out of the desert and broke through the city on the edge of the desert. Then Alex left five thousand people to defend, and he led the army straight towards Jerusalem. His vision returned to the Assyrian region.

The Roman army led by Yusufu arrived at the city of Dura Europos. Yusufu looked at the tall city wall and the Qin soldiers who were traveling back and forth on the city walls. "General, attack?" The general asked for advice with a distressed look. Without waiting for Yusufu's answer, a scout rushed over hurriedly. "God of General, you will find the Qin army dozens of miles west!" The scout reported. Yusufu was shocked, "How many people are there?"

"Hundreds of thousands! With the banner of the First Legion of the Qin Army and the Canglang Camp! The leading general is Ma Chao, the general of the Qin Empire's southern expedition!"

"Ma Chao?!" When everyone present heard the name Ma Chao, their faces changed. No wonder Ma Chao's reputation has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the Romans during this period.

"General, what should I do?" A general asked with a hint of panic. Yusufu glared at the general and shouted unhappily: "What are you panic?" The general couldn't help feeling ashamed. Yusufu hesitated for a moment, then looked at the city in front of him, frowned, and shook the whip suddenly, and said unwillingly: "Send the order and the whole army retreat!" When he heard this, the generals couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
