    Catalonia.  A developed trade zone on the east coast of the Iberian Peninsula. Here is the most important port on the west coast of the Mediterranean - Bell Port. Goods shipped from all over the Atlantic coast through the Strait of Gibraltar are transshipped, distributed, subcontracted, resold and reloaded here.  Sent eastward to various locations along the east coast on merchant ships dedicated to navigation on the inland waters of the Mediterranean.  The location of Port Bell is equivalent to Barcelona in later generations. It was the settlement first established by the Carthaginians. However, after the Romans defeated Hannibal, Port Bell, along with the entire peninsula, was classified as a province of Rome.  .  This era of ignorance has just begun.  The sea route is the cradle of civilization. As for the land route, it is much more difficult. The continuous mountains between Gaul and Iberia not only block the flow of air, but also make the transfer of materials, technology and manpower difficult.  In Iberia, the first task of the coalition forces of Qin and Carthage is to recapture Bell Port.  Only by occupying this important port can the coalition forces ensure a smooth supply line, and at the same time, they can also successfully cut off the maritime connection between the Roman army in the Iberian province and the mainland.  The sea breeze of Gibraltar could not stop the coalition's march north. When Li Zhongxiang and Hannibal set foot on Iberian soil, in the Balkans of Eastern Europe, a great war between Qin and Rome began.  ¡ª¡ª.  The sight returns to the eastern front.  The Fortress of Sink in the eastern Balkans.  That is the pass that Philip IV and the Roman army fought for in the past, and now it has become the place where the Qin army and the Roman army fought.  The 150,000 soldiers of Scipio and Pompey paved the roads in the Milan Plateau and the Alps, and on the opposite side of them.  It was the Qin Army of 200,000 personally commanded by Li Yuan, the Shenwu Emperor of Qin.  In terms of military strength, the Qin State, which has always been dominated by elite soldiers, overwhelmed the opponent for the first time. However, the Romans were not completely helpless. After a year of counterattack, they finally captured Xinke from the Qin Army.  This important pass allowed Scipio to save a lot in the deployment of troops.  As long as the fortress exists.  The Qin army could not even hope to cross the Alps, and with stable rear support, Scipio firmly believed that he and his companions could win the final victory.  The city of Pella.  In the military council hall, several generals from the Qin Army on the eastern front were gathered, whether it was Luo Jia, Cao Xin, or Spartacus.  Their faces were filled with excitement and anticipation.  On the sand table.  Mountains and valleys are all visible. This is the result of several years of hard work by the Qin army's scouts. However, this clearly marked sand table map made Shenwu Emperor Li Yuan frown.  The coalition forces on the Western Front are still far away in Iberia. They can provide surprise troops, but they cannot rely too much.  The complex and rugged mountainous terrain of the western Balkans.  The tank troops of the later German Third Reich were trapped in it and could not extricate themselves. This area was very suitable for defense and guerrilla tactics, but it was also a natural barrier for the Qin army that wanted to invade the Apennine Peninsula.  To break this barrier, the Qin army needs to fight a tough battle.  At this critical moment, any luck is unacceptable.  "Generals. You have all seen that in the Cinque Fortress, the Romans stationed 50,000 elite soldiers. In addition, they also deployed defenses step by step along the road from the Alps to the Milan Plateau. What we have to do now is to eradicate these one by one.  Nail, plant the flag of Qin into the dome of the Colosseum in Rome. To achieve this goal, I need each of you to make a hundredfold effort, even including your lives¡ª¡ª" Hearing Li Yuan's deep and powerful voice!  As he spoke, the young captains standing behind him all looked excited. Among them were Han Anguo and Skedax, the young twins who had fought in Rome.  For Han Anguo and others with little qualifications, there is no need to consider large-scale strategic judgments in battles. What they have to think about is how to win meritorious deeds for themselves on local battlefields.  "Your Majesty, the Thracians, are willing to be the first to attack the Rishi and capture the Cinque Fortress to make up for the mistake of underestimating the enemy last time." Spartacus stepped forward and was the first to ask for orders.  "Your Majesty, Anguo is willing to lead his troops to take the Sink Pass together with the Thracian warriors to clear the way for our army to march westward." Han Anguo saw his old friend asking for a fight and immediately followed suit.  "Your Majesty!" "Your Majesty! Our troops have been recharging their strength for a long time, and I hope¡ª¡ª" The generals of the Qin army were excited and their morale was high. At this moment, the attack on Xinke Fortress was officially determined. The so-called Zhengqi  Combination, focusing on the positive. This time, Li Yuan did not think too much about strategies such as surprise troops. In fact, the special topography of northern Rome also determined that the best way to fight was to push forward with an upright front line.  .   ¡ª¡ª.  "Hula!" "Boom, boom boom!" In mid-air, the sounds of various weapons echoed over the Xinke Fortress. Wave after wave of attacks by the Qin army were like huge waves hitting the shore.  Continuously.  Thunders, couch crossbows, siege vehicles, repeating crossbows - all kinds of new weapons came on stage in turn, testing the will of the Roman defenders. The Thracian barbarians led by Skodacus were protected by the Qin army's new weapons.  Next, holding a big ax, like a dwarf warrior coming out of hell, he approached and crashed into the wooden door of the fortress.  As a defensive side, the Roman army was not completely passive this time. In order to strengthen the defense force of the pass, Scipio placed the newly developed trebuchet inside the pass. Its existence also gave the Roman army a  Another primitive mechanical ranged weapon besides the javelin.  The battle lasted for ten days.  After paying a price of nearly 10,000 casualties, the Thracians finally broke open the fortress gate of the Cinque Pass. Skedax's bravery was fully demonstrated in this battle. Eager to avenge his shame, he led the  Wave after wave of dead soldiers rushed into the Roman army like crazy. ? Hand-to-hand combat.  It is a severe test for soldiers on both sides.  After seeing the Thracian breakthrough, Han Anguo and other generals immediately followed suit. Their joining finally made the Romans gradually lose their support.  It is early morning on September 10th, the eighteenth year of the Qin Dynasty.  Part of the Roman army guarding the Cinque Pass withdrew from the pass, while the other part continued to hold on in the dilapidated castle. Although facing increasing pressure, Scipio obviously did not want to give up just yet. His strategy was to follow the  They resisted steadily from the Balkans to the Alps until the Qin army's energy was exhausted.  Rome¡¯s real trump card.  It was Yunis who copied the Qin Army's rear route from afar. Their position had already moved to the Hungarian plains in the middle reaches of the Danube River. Next, Yunis was preparing to continue marching eastward and kill important supplies from the Qin Army's rear from the north.  Place - Constantinople.
