Chapter 973 Roman Legion Vs. Beifu Army
"The scuffle has lasted for five hours, that is, ten hours. Our army Gongsun Yue was killed, Di Qing and Zhao Kuo were injured. It is estimated that 230,000 people will be killed or injured..."
When Le Yi arrived at the front line of the Bishou Hall, it was already close to dusk.
The physical strength of each legion was really unable to support them, so Ming Jin withdrew his troops and retreated to watch Kexian.
The coalition forces on the opposite side were also exhausted. Ten Shi Lianjiu and Shi Shi Lianzhen of the Lihua family were killed in battle, and several generals of the Shimadzu family were also killed.
The two armies continued to confront each other.
The plan of the Koryo Allied Forces to lead the Xia army into the valley terrain that is not conducive to the use of large cavalry, and then annihilate its main force failed.
Xia Jun's intention to break through Koryo's defense line, quickly capture Kaijing, and occupy the entire Koryo country could not be achieved for a while.
"The terrain here restricts the cavalry to drive straight in. The King's City of Koryo is a dangerous place, and the offensive against Koryo may be protracted."
After counting the losses, Le Yi found that Kaijing could not be taken quickly, so he could only try to see-saw with the Korean coalition forces.
Fortunately, there is no need to use Le Yi's army on various battlefields in the pass. Chu Tian entrusts Le Yi with full authority to temporarily governor the military and political power of Koryo, and Le Yi has enough time to take down Koryo.
At present, Le Yi has completed the task that Chu Tian entrusted to Le Yi—occupying half of the country of Koryo.
"It's better to send a group of soldiers who dare to die, and burn the Longshan granary on fire."
Prince Yan, who was gloomy because of Gongsun Yue's death, pointed out on the map where Li Chenggui hoarded grain and grass.
On the coastal hills and mountain roads in the east of Langya Kingdom, two Roman legions, the 15th Apollo Legion and the 17th Doom Legion, served as the front army and attacked Xihai County, which was occupied by the Wu army.
Xihai County is an important sea salt producing area. After being occupied by Wu Jun, Langya Kingdom suffered a lot of losses.
Varus, the general of the Roman Legion, set out for the first time in the main world, and the target was the Wu army.
Wu Jun is not good at fighting on the plains, so he can only attack the hilly areas of Xuzhou and Qingzhou by tricks.
Xie Xuan's Beifu Army is stationed in Xihai County, restraining the troops of Langya Kingdom.
Langya Kingdom is the most important county of Chutian. The eastern part of Langya Kingdom is occupied, which can contain a large number of Chutian's troops.
Xie Xuan commanded 10,000 Beifu troops and 20,000 low-level archers to intercept the Roman legion on the mountain road in Xihai County.
The battle broke out between the Roman Legion and the Beifu Army in the eastern part of Langya Kingdom!
"Apollo Legion, attack!"
Valus drew his sword and pointed it straight ahead.
The eagle flag of the Roman legion was waving, and the orderly Roman heavy infantry held their spears and attacked the Beifu army at every step!
Xie Xuan wore a white cloak and rode a white horse to oversee the battle. The Beifu Army just blocked the Roman Legion!
The Beifu army occupied the terrain and blocked the exit of the mountain road, and the Roman legion could not rush to attack.
"The Apollo Legion retreats and replaces the Legion of Doom."
Valus frowned and had to rotate the legion before attacking the Beifu army.
After the Apollo Legion retreated, the Roman Eagle Flag triggered Apollo's protection effect, and the morale, physical strength, and injuries of the entire legion recovered quickly.
The Fifteenth Apollo Legion of the Roman Empire has the ability to "recover" and has a strong ability to continue combat.
However, Valus was unable to win against the Beifu army.
Because the Beifu Army is the most powerful legion in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, not inferior to the Roman Legion.
In the Battle of Feishui, tens of thousands of Beifu troops defeated Fu Jian's more than 200,000 former troops and turned their offensive.
As the founder of the Beifu Army, Xie Xuan is the most suitable for the Beifu Army, which has greatly increased the combat power of the Beifu Army.
Chen Qingzhi's white-robed army, Ran Min's begging army, Murong Ke's serial horses, these are all elite troops of the Southern and Northern Dynasties!
If Caesar, Octavian and others commanded the Roman legion, the Roman legion could explode with a stronger combat effectiveness than when Valus was in command. Valus is still slightly inferior.

"King Xia really has a western army. Liu Laozhi, break it!"
Xie Xuan asked Liu Laozhi, a fierce general of the Beifu army, to go out.
"yes!"
Liu Laozhi's complexion was purple, and he was brave and majestic. He commanded a group of officers of the Beifu Army, and with 3000 elite Beifu Army, he rushed to the 17th Legion of Doom of the Roman Empire!
Holding a knife and a shield, Liu Laozhi cut into the Legion of Doom and defeated the Legion of Doom!
As the name suggests, the Legion of Doom was unlucky and retreated backwards, and the Apollo Legion, who had rested in time, supported the Legion of Doom.
Liu Laozhi fought with more than 60 Roman heavy infantry in his hands. He retreated when he saw the heavy infantry of the Apollo Legion arriving.
"The Eastern Legion is so terrifying."
Valus' luck was not very good either. For the first time in his battle in the East, he encountered the Beifu Army, one of the most powerful legions of the Han Empire.
Although the Xuanjia Army, Zhongxiao Army, Cowardly Xue Army, and Huben Army are more elite, they do not belong to large-scale legions. Wei Wuzu, Qin Ruishi, and Beifu Army, like the Roman Legion, belong to tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of troops. Grand Army.
Valus encountered the Beifu army personally commanded by Xie Xuan and Liu Laozhi, and lost the first game.
Valus counted the losses of the two Roman legions. The Apollo legion had 700 killed, and the Doom legion had 1,800 killed. The loss of the Doom legion was far heavier than the Apollo legion.
"King Xia sent Shenji Battalion to help!"
Valus was blocked by the Beifu Army and could not break through. Chutian had to dispatch the Shenji Battalion and the Roman Legion to try to break through the Beifu Army's defense line.
Valus finally breathed a sigh of relief, otherwise he would not be able to defeat Xie Xuan even if he handed over the two Roman legions here.
According to Chu Tian's calculations, Xie Xuan, as the founder of the powerful army of the Eastern Jin Dynasty and the Beifu Army, should be the emperor's commander. That's why Tongque will safely send the Beifu Army to occupy the eastern part of the Langya Kingdom and contain the main force of the Xia Army.
Jiaozhou Bay in Qingzhou was also occupied by the Wu army. Zhou Yu burned down the walls of a city, and the defenders surrendered to Zhou Yu.
Zhou Yu's fire attack has a high bonus, and its destructive power is unimaginable.
After capturing Jiaozhou Bay, Tongque recalled Zhou Yu and went to attack Huang County, the seat of Donglai County.
"The stronghold of the Fubo Army is in Huang County. As long as we occupy Huang County and destroy the Fubo Army, we will be invincible in the East China Sea."
Tongque was not satisfied with taking down the coastal areas of Langya Kingdom and Beihai Kingdom, if it changed its goal to wipe out the Fubo Army.
The Fubo Army is undoubtedly a huge threat to the Jiangdong Navy.
Zhou Yu led the sailors to board the ship.
During the Three Kingdoms period, Zhou Yu's "Vulcan" ability had limited room to play, and basically could only be active in the Yangtze River area, but in "The Lord", the room for fire attack is not limited to the Yangtze River.
The battlefield of "Lord" can be the Yangtze River, the East China Sea, or the four oceans!
Therefore, Zhou Yu's and Lu Xun's fire attack abilities are actually quite versatile.
Thousands of warships sailed towards Huang County, cutting through the wind and waves, and huge building ships entered the Yellow Sea from the East China Sea.
In order to make use of Zhou Yu and Lu Xun's fire attack capabilities, Tongque specially brought two hundred small fire attack boats.
As long as the fire attack is successful, any navy will be defeated by the Jiangdong navy.
In Xiacheng, Chu Tian was deep in thought in his study, deciding whether he should mobilize the Fubo Army to fight against the Jiangdong Navy.
When the Fubo army attacked Koryo, tens of thousands of people were lost, and there were more than 200,000 soldiers and horses. The loss of warships was negligible.
According to the strength on paper, the Fubo Army and the Jiangdong Navy have the strength to fight.
However, it has only been a year since the expansion of the Fubo Army, and there is a huge difference in level from the Jiangdong Navy.
"Perhaps we should go a little further..."
Chutian hesitated again and again, and decided to order the Fubo Army to avoid the Jiangdong Navy.
The Fubo Army is the only army that can target the Jiangdong Navy. If the Fubo Army is destroyed by the Jiangdong Navy, then the Jiangdong Navy has no opponents on the coast.
"Let the Fubo army retreat to Liaodong to avoid the Jiangdong Navy. Build a high-level shipyard in Liaodong and expand the Fubo army to 400,000."
Chu Tian deeply felt the horror of the Jiangdong Navy, so he expanded the Fubo Army again and again, from the original 120,000 to 300,000, and then expanded to 400,000. Five naval generals, each in charge of 80,000 soldiers, 700 A large warship.
Regarding the Jiangdong army's plundering along the coast, Chu Tian chose to endure it for the time being.
As for several important cities along the coast, they are hoarded and heavily guarded.
"Let Cao Cao's Hebei army enter Jianghuai again, build warships in Guangling County, make a sneak attack on Jianye City, and put pressure on Jiangdong."
