Three Kingdoms Swept the World II

Chapter 727
Qin Feng conspired to seize the invincible fleet in the eyes of the princes, the Roman Mediterranean Fleet.

This created a huge shock in the hearts of the princes and their advisers.The impact lasted for a long time, and one wave was stronger than the other, only Cao Yuanliu and others were hit hard.

Along the way of the expedition, Qin Feng's miraculous schemes emerged one after another, repeatedly injuring the Romans.These many schemes have never appeared in China's military history of thousands of years.It is simply a miracle of war.

Although the princes refused to admit it, the shock in their hearts had gradually turned into fear and awe of Qin Feng personally.

War geniuses, who are rare in a thousand years, are born for war.

In fact, Qin Feng was very embarrassed. If Cao Yuan and Liu went to the later generations to gild, they should also do something.

But the fact is, Cao Yuanliu and the others don't have this chance.Qin Feng is destined to leave a strong mark in this era.His advanced concept of war has begun to affect this era, and if it is passed down, it will affect future generations.In this way, Qin Feng can't tell which came first, the chicken or the egg.But it must be an indisputable fact that there was Qin Feng first.

Capture the entire Mediterranean fleet, and the alliance of princes will have its own huge invincible fleet.Such a brilliant victory inspired the whole army.

Cao Cao immediately proposed to use the Huaxia Armada to hit Severus hard.

But Qin Feng objected.

The princes looked at each other in blank dismay, Qin Zijin disagreed, did he have unique insights?
"Why?" Yuan Shao asked with a big head.

Qin Feng began to explain, "The most important thing at this moment is to seize the important western town, the seaport city of Ephesus."

The princes are a little enlightened.

"The news of our seizure of the Mediterranean Fleet has not leaked yet, but the news of our attack on Severus will leak. Ephesus will strengthen its defenses. And we will attack Ephesus first before the news spreads, and we will be able to succeed. Severus’ food, grass and materials are all in Ephesus, and Severus will be a turtle in the urn if he captures Ephesus. His army is hungry and can destroy him without blood.”

"Wonderful!" Yuan Shao nodded.

"Double admiration." Liu Bei fanned his big ears.

Cao Cao's face darkened, and he said, "Zi Jin is right. When our Mediterranean fleet entered the port of Ephesus, the Romans thought their fleet had returned. At that time, we seized the opportunity to seize the area guarded by the two legions. Ephesus is as easy as flipping the palm of your hand." Cao Cao even flipped his palms deliberately.

So Qin Feng did not stop, and appointed Sun Ce as the commander of the Huaxia Fleet to lead the fleet to attack Ephesus.He also ordered the princes to rebuild the coastal defense offensive to prevent Severus' fierce counterattack after getting the news.

At this time, it was dawn and the fleet was gone. The morale of the soldiers of the Huaxia Alliance Army was high, and they began to build fortifications on the north bank in full swing.

The Romans on the south bank were a little dumbfounded.

"How did the Mediterranean Fleet go? Hurry up and report to Commander Severus!" The coastal defense commander panicked.

In a few moments, the tent of the Roman Chinese Army.

Severus came out wearing Roman underpants, scratching his legs, yawned, and said, "What's the matter?" Yesterday was the day he slept most soundly. With the presence of the Imperial Mediterranean Fleet, he had already stood in Invincible.

"Report to Commander-in-Chief, all the Mediterranean Fleet has left!" the messenger officer said, beating his chest.

"What!" Severus became alert and energetic, "Catullus is gone, he left without saying a word, what does he mean?"

Severus was anxious, "Is there something wrong with the Senate? Hurry up, send someone to chase Catullus immediately, and ask what's going on?"

After half an hour.

The glorious blood of Octavian, Caesar, Pompey, etc. were all concentrated in Severus' tent.Everyone brainstormed and came to many conclusions. The only thing that was recognized by everyone was that there was a change in the center of the empire.It should be an unfavorable change for Severus, and the Mediterranean Fleet was transferred away without passing through Severus.

Perhaps it was a coup against Severus' forces.

"Report..., Commander, General Catullus refuses to meet." The intelligence officer brought such information.

"Have you seen Catullus himself?" Severus asked.

"I see, Catullus is standing on the deck, refusing to meet me." The intelligence officer said.

Octavian and the others felt heavy in their hearts. From the looks of it, it was probably a coup d'état.It must be a political opponent, taking the opportunity to expel Severus from the core circle of imperial power.Even Catullus, who was loyal to Severus, rebelled, and the situation is quite serious.

Severus' face was gloomy, and the word coup d'état had already enveloped his entire thinking. He immediately sent his confidant intelligence officer to secretly go to Rome to investigate the specific situation.He also sent several intelligence officers, and he began to connect his forces in various provinces, as well as friendly forces.

On the other hand, after another hour's voyage, Qin Feng, his apprentice, the governor, and the general of the Jingzhou Jiangdong navy led the Huaxia fleet and approached the port of Ephesus.

The flagship Harvest Goddess takes the lead.The decks are full of bearded Roman soldiers.And the decks of the ships were also full of Roman soldiers.

And just below the deck, there were piles of Roman prisoners, all tied up and without hair or beard.

On the front deck of the Goddess of Harvest, Qin Feng and the others are here, and they also brought Catullus with them.

Catullus wanted to cry, "Qin Zijin is too cunning, he ordered his soldiers to dress up as imperial soldiers, and now, Ephesus is about to fall." He was terrified again, if Ephesus fell, Severus' The army ran out of food.Severus' army was wiped out, and the empire had no army to resist the Chinese from entering the core circle of the empire.

The Huaxia fleet approached Ephesus.

Ephesus sent a picket boat.

Behind Qin Feng was Catullus, who loudly conveyed the order to stop at the port of Ephesus.

The port of Ephesus did not suspect him, and even welcomed Qin Feng and the others to enter the port.

Ten minutes later, thick smoke billowed from Ephesus Port, and the sound of killings shook the sky.

"Wow, the Mediterranean Fleet has mutinied!"

The garrison at Ephesus was caught off guard, and those killed scattered and fled.

"What's going on, what happened, Catullus, you actually betrayed the empire!" Tiberius, the temporary governor of Ephesus, was furious.

"Qin Zijin, he's Qin Zijin, he doesn't care about my business!" Catullus finally mustered up his courage, and screamed regardless of the pointed head inside the door.

"Qin Zijin!" Tiberius' heart was broken, and he understood the cause and effect.

The [-] Chinese vassal alliance expeditionary force made a surprise attack, and the [-] Roman army of the two legions of Ephesus was defeated.

Qin Feng captured Ephesus.

On September 195, 9 AD, the day after the Roman Mediterranean Fleet entered the Kistet River, it was all captured by Qin Feng, and thus captured Ephesus.Known as the "Ephesus Victory" in history, the Mediterranean Fleet fell in one day, creating a miracle of war.As a result, Qin Feng achieved another miracle, leaving a strong mark in the history of China's expedition.
