Chapter 261: The Great War Begins

The main force of the Queen led by Kochi and the Sicilian army led by Sheer accelerated their march after receiving Kaman's urging letters.

Kochi led the main force of 140,000 Queens, and when the three-day deadline that Liu Xian gave Naples was about to expire, he finally arrived on the sea west of Naples. Then the army landed and drove directly to the flanks of the Han army.

And at noon that day, I rushed outside the city of Naples.

When the Naples defenders saw the reinforcements all over the mountains outside the city, they all howled excitedly. The originally depressing atmosphere in the city of Naples was replaced by cheers.

Kaman stood on the top of the city and saw reinforcements all over the mountains under the scorching sun. He was so excited that he trembled all over. Naples had finally survived the most difficult time!

I couldn't help looking at the Han army camp outside the city, and a sarcastic expression appeared on the corner of my mouth, and said jokingly: "When the Han emperor saw the scene of the imperial army coming, he should regret giving us three days!"

Everyone around laughed.

Keqin immediately stood on the hill, looking at the quiet Han army camp in the distance, feeling relieved, feeling that he had finally arrived in time.

But he did not intend to attack the Han army immediately.

Ke Qin had a deal with the Han army more than once. He knew that the strength of the Han army was not enough to defeat the opponent in front of him. He only planned to curb the opponent's offensive and stabilize the current situation!

He turned his head and said to the generals around him: "Send the order and the army will camp on the spot. At the same time, all the scouts were sent out to closely monitor the enemy's every move!"

All the generals bowed and agreed.

Woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo w

Kochin and others were stunned and looked a little confused.

"General, look!" A general suddenly pointed to the dense forest in the southeast direction and shouted.

Everyone's eyes immediately looked at the dense forest, and they suddenly saw that the entire dense forest seemed to be moving. Kochin's expression changed, and then he saw nearly 100,000 enemy troops rushing out of the dense forest!

Everyone was surprised, but Kochi soon discovered that the sudden appearance of the army was not the real Han army, but the Persian army and the Wusun army.

The nervousness in his heart immediately subsided, and he shouted, "The only ones who came from Persians and Wusuns are not our opponents!"

The officers and soldiers also discovered this, and their originally panic calmed down.

"Let's array! Get ready for battle! The warriors of Rome, drink the blood of the enemy with your daggers and spears!" Kochi shouted with his sword in his hand.

The morale of the Roman officers and soldiers was greatly boosted, and everyone let out excited howls. Then, under the command of their respective generals, they quickly formed a square formation that was famous all over the world.

Just as the war in Naples was about to begin, in the south, the Sicilian army led by Sheer had already arrived about twenty miles south of Catanzaro.

Shiller's mission is to destroy Catanzaro to cut off his opponent's retreat. If this step is completed, even the strength of the Han army will be in a very dangerous situation. If it is not done well, the entire army will be wiped out.

Therefore, among all the Roman tactics, Hiller's attack on Catanzaro was the real trump card of Rome.

At this moment, Catanzaro was right in front, and the rest was to seize him in one fell swoop.

Hiller looked ahead, and the excitement in his heart was uncontrollable.

Because according to the news he received not long ago, the Han army had no idea of ​​his move at all. Now the entire Han army is in Naples, and Catanzaro has no other power except for a few thousand men guarding him.

At this moment, Catanzaro was like a beauty who was unprepared for him, waiting for him to ravage!

Thinking of the excitement, Hiller couldn't help but grin and swallowed.

At this time, a hurried sound of horse hooves came from the front. Hiller withdrew his imagination and looked forward, and saw that the scouts sent not long ago had returned.

The scout went straight to Sheiler and saluted: "Your Excellency, Catanzaro is in chaos now. All those who were originally outside the city fled back to the city!"

Hiller laughed loudly, he was not worried, Catanzaro's low city wall was not worth mentioning in his eyes.

"How many defenders are there in Catanzaro?" Hiller asked.

The scout said, "It shouldn't be many. Judging from the layout of the city wall, there are only a few thousand people. And judging from their outfits, it seems that most of them are Catanzaro's rebels."

Shearer's eyes showed a cruel smell and said coldly: "Porgil dared to surrender to the enemy! When I break the city, I must capture him in front of me to see what he said!" Then he shouted at his subordinates: "Enter the full speed!"

The army immediately accelerated, and the rumbling footsteps echoed between the mountains and forests. The ninety thousand army led by Shiller was like a yellow dragon, swam quickly towards the city of Catanzaro!

The sight turned back to Naples.

Speaking of which, the Roman army faced the sudden appearance of Persian and Wusun troops, and immediately formed a Roman phalanx and prepared to fight.

The Persian army and the Wusun army rushed out of the dense forest, and at the same time, a huge sound of cannons suddenly sounded, shaking the entire world.

The Romans were shocked and couldn't help but look around, and saw countless shells flying out of the dense forest behind the Persian and Wusun troops, flying towards them like a vast expanse!

Kochin's face changed drastically and he shouted: "Rise the shield! All the shields are raised!"

The shield player of the Roman army hurriedly raised his shield, and at this moment, countless shells crossed the sky and flew to the head of the Roman army with a heavy and terrifying roar!

Immediately afterwards, there was a loud bang, and a powerful rain of bullets suddenly hit the Roman phalanx. Countless shields were smashed, and many Roman officers and soldiers were torn apart by this terrible force and turned away!

Looking at this scene, Kochin turned his head and shouted at a general beside him, "Where is our artillery?"

The general said anxiously: "I'm still unloading the ship on the shore!"

Kochin couldn't help but curse.

At this moment, the opponent's second round of artillery bombs came again. This time, it was an explosion. The shells fell into the crowd, and then a bunch of gorgeous fireworks exploded, and the Roman officers and soldiers around were all blown away.

The shrill screams were heard, and even the roar of the cannons was still amazing.
