    When Emperor Constantine received the news of the defeat in the Mediterranean naval battle, he was stunned. Although he was mentally prepared to fail in the face of the powerful Jin navy, when it really happened he still  It's hard to accept.  This news also caused great shock in Rome and Persia.  I didn¡¯t expect that the seemingly powerful Allied fleet would become so vulnerable after encountering the Jin Empire¡¯s navy.  All Romans knew that after losing their maritime power, a large number of cities on the coast would become targets of the Jin Dynasty's navy.  This was a disaster for the Roman Empire with its long coastline!  But the defeat in the Mediterranean naval battle did not destroy the Romans' confidence in resistance, but instead made them more united.  Some Romans living by the sea were already preparing to evacuate to the central and northern parts, and Emperor Constantine was also ready for a long-term war of resistance. They believed that with the remaining nearly one million troops, they could completely stop the Jin from advancing on land.  attack.  While the Romans were busy building their own homeland defenses, the Jin Dynasty and the Arab coalition did not stop their advance. On September 20, the nineteenth year of Hongwu, 10,000 marines suddenly landed on the western coast of Syria under the cover of the fleet.  Successfully, more than 10,000 marines attacked various key points in the Roman province of Syria with lightning speed, catching the local defenders by surprise.  Syria, which had been panicked due to the defeat in the naval battle, was now in complete chaos. Within just a few days, the coalition forces took control of the situation in Syria, and then swept westward across Jordan, Jerusalem and other places, and successfully fought against the Arab army in the south.  Reunion.  At the same time, the allied fleets attacked in all directions and bombarded the Roman coastal cities, causing great losses to the Romans.  And then.  Reinforcements transferred from Hawaii continued to the Republic of Panama, and then entered Latin America through the Panama Canal, aiming directly at the North American continent.  Hongwu 19th, October 2nd, the main army force that had been stationed in the Hezhong area received intelligence that the Marines had landed in the rear of Persia.  The combat operation codenamed "Nuwa" was immediately launched.  In order to destroy Persia in the first battle, the Privy Council mobilized a total of 25 troops to attack Persia. If 50,000 Persian affiliated troops were added, the total strength of the coalition forces would be as high as 300,000.  At the same time, on the southern front, 100,000 Arab troops were assisted by 20,000 expeditionary troops.  They began to march north to attack Persia. Faced with a huge military force that was surrounded on all sides and overwhelmed by overwhelming force, the Persians forcibly recruited one million troops in an attempt to block the Jin army's attack.  The Persian military clamored to spread the blood of the Jin people throughout the Persian Gulf, and stated that the Persians would never surrender to the Jin Empire and would not give up even if they fought to the last man.  For the clamor of the Persians.  The Jin Dynasty will not underestimate them at all. Although the Jin army often looks down on the combat effectiveness of Persian soldiers, the Persian army does have its own uniqueness.  In particular, the Persian heavy cavalry had a profound impact on the Jin army.  Furthermore, being able to fight against the Roman Empire for hundreds of years without losing ground shows that the Persians are still very powerful in combat.  The most important thing is that the Persians are in danger of national subjugation.  They will definitely perform well!  People often burst out with incredible potential in desperate situations!  Therefore, before the war, the Privy Council repeatedly warned the frontline soldiers to be careful and cautious, to fight steadily and never to rush forward for the sake of success.  In order to destroy the Persians' will to resist, the frontline troops invested nearly a thousand artillery pieces, most of which were produced by the Hezhong Arsenal.  The weapons and ammunition produced by the current Hezhong Arsenal can fully support at least 200,000 troops in combat. If coupled with the ammunition previously hoarded in Hezhong, Jin Dynasty does not have to worry about logistical supply issues.  With the roar of nearly a thousand artillery pieces, the number and power of the Xiang army's artillery were completely beyond the Persians' expectations.  It turned out that the Persians were ready to fight for every inch of territory and die together with the Jin people. However, they found that they had to enjoy the fierce artillery baptism first.  Facing this circumstances.  The Persian frontline troops were suddenly stunned, and many people became at a loss. They didn't know what to do.  Taking advantage of the initial panic of the opponent, the Xiang army quickly crossed the Amu Darya River and rushed towards the Persian defense line, the fastest moving dragoon unit.  Ten thousand dragoons drove the Persian army out of the Khorasan area in one fell swoop and established a solid position there.  Subsequently, the main force followed up and continued to attack the hinterland of Persia. Within a week, more than one-third of the Persian soldiers were wiped out by the Jin army.  At the same time, 50,000 Jin-Afghanistan coalition troops, under the cover of the naval fleet, boarded transport ships, took a short rest in Cyprus, and landed directly in southern Asia Minor.  At this point, the road communication channel between Persia and Rome was in danger of being cut off by Xiang armies, and Persia was facing the dilemma of being attacked from the east and west.  In addition, since October 2, various areas along the coast of Rome have been frequently attacked by the Jin navy. The Jin navy, which dominates the world's oceans, has firmly controlledGained control of the sea.  In just a few days, the Romans suffered more than 100,000 casualties and nearly a million people became homeless.  By October 10, all forces had achieved significant results on the ground. 50,000 coalition troops and the Navy's Seventh Fleet occupied the south coast of Asia Minor and established a beachhead; the main force on the eastern front had controlled Persia, including Khorasan.  most of the region and allowed Hormizd III to establish a new rule in eastern Persia.  The reason why Hormizd III was brought out was simply to reduce the resistance of the Persians to the Jin people. Sure enough, when Hormizd III came out, most Persians chose to fight without seeing any hope of victory.  surrendered.  As a large number of Persian troops surrendered, Pulsidore, who was far away in Ctesiphon, was completely panicked.  Pucidore was very aware of Hormizd III¡¯s hatred for him. The other party could forgive most people, but he would never be included.  In order to survive, he had to humble himself and beg Da Jin for surrender. Only Da Jin could save his life now.  While Pusidore was anxiously waiting for the Jin Dynasty's response, the Roman emperor in Constantinople issued a decree for full mobilization.  On October 11, Emperor Constantine called on all Romans to stand up bravely and defend their homeland together.  Due to the prevalence of martial arts in Rome, many civilians began to use their own weapons to exchange fire with the coalition forces.  Faced with this situation, the frontline troops had to start killing people.  The war spread throughout Rome, and the Romans, unwilling to fail, had to fight bravely until the blood was shed.  In the history of history, the Romans have never encountered a more dangerous situation than today. It has always been their armed forces that slaughter other countries.  In the past, the Romans relied on their powerful armed forces to arbitrarily destroy countless countries and nations. Egypt, Carthage, Macedonia and other powerful and wealthy countries fell under the iron heel of Rome. But when this day came  When it came to the head of the Romans, many Romans actually had a very ridiculous feeling.  The Privy Council of Jin Dynasty really did not expect that the offensive of the frontline troops would be so smooth. The nearly one million Persian army collapsed under the artillery fire. The seemingly powerful Persian Empire collapsed like this.  In addition, the troops on the southern front who were responsible for the diversionary task were not to be outdone. They not only defeated the Persian army blocking the front, but also quickly advanced into southern Persia, approaching the Persian imperial capital Ctesiphon.  The unexpected changes in the battle situation on the southern front suddenly made both warring parties unexpected. The Persians did not expect that the southern troops were so vulnerable. Under the attack of the Shanxi-Afghan coalition, their own troops could only retreat step by step.  The success of the southern front also stimulated the troops in the other two directions. The main forces in the east and west have occupied most of Persia. When the east route army captured Susa, the Jin army finally achieved the strategic encirclement of Ctesiphon.  .  At this point, everyone knew that the Persians could not hold on for much longer. Even the Persians were divided within themselves. Some advocated surrendering to Hormizd III, while others advocated continuing to resist. Even if the country is subjugated, they cannot give up until they are forced to do so.  Jin retreated.  Persia is dying, and the Romans can't hold on for long. In recent times, the Jin navy has been attacking various parts of Rome, causing heavy losses to Roman coastal cities. In addition, the main force of the Jin army is still gathering in Asia Minor. All this tells Rome  People: The Jin people are coming, and Rome will be finished soon!  By this time, the Xiang army no longer paid attention to the Romans. In fact, in the Mediterranean war, when the Romans lost their maritime hegemony, it meant that the initiative in the war was no longer in the opponent's hands.  In fact, this is indeed the case. The Battle of the Mediterranean basically consumed all the elite navy of the Roman Empire.  The rest were small ships that were simply not enough to protect the coast of the Roman Empire.  Although Emperor Constantine then hurriedly formed a new navy, their combat effectiveness was simply not comparable to that of the old army.  It was simply fantastic for the Romans to expect them to hold the sea frontier.  It can be said that the Romans were really at the end of their rope.  As for the army of the Jin Dynasty, they were naturally not idle.  While the navy continued to attack various Roman ports, 300,000 Jin-Arab coalition troops began to pour into Asia Minor.  Facing the powerful front of the coalition forces, the Romans had no choice but to retreat again and again.  It's not that they don't want to resist, but the coalition's artillery fire is too sharp.  The only thing that caused trouble to the Jin army was probably the fanatical Christian believers in various places. Faced with these unreasonable "madmen", the coalition soldiers showed no mercy at all.  With the arrival of the Marine Corps, the fate of the Romans became tragic.  With the support of fierce artillery fire from naval warships, the Marine Corps landed in various parts of Rome one after another. Then they launched attacks on major cities such as Rome and Constantinople. After three months of hard work, they finally successfully conquered  Rome, Constantinople.
