"In the end, something went wrong!" Luga let out a long sigh and placed the parchment on the table.

There were five generals of the Eastern Empire sitting beside them, and the corresponding seats opposite them were long gone, they had been gone with Aetius for too long, and they were probably already in the Apennines.

"Luga." Beside him, Areobindes asked, "What the hell is going on?" Why did the army of the Western Empire leave the north like this just when the expedition was about to be launched? ”

"They feel like the Western Empire is bound for us, right?" General Anlasis was in a hurry, and he was even more angry when he saw the current situation, he slapped the table suddenly, pointed to the opposite side of the empty wall, and scolded: "We have come thousands of miles to help these bitches, and they will leave as soon as they say so!" Are we willing to be their slaves and lackeys? They go, we go, and see who is uncomfortable when Africa is lost! ”

"Anlasis, you are not allowed to be so rude, don't forget that you are a Roman nobleman, and you can't lose your etiquette at this time!" Beside him, Innobinders pestled him by the shoulder and reminded him, "You can't just lose your temper now, don't forget Flavis. His Excellency Luga was still thinking, and he must not be interrupted or disturbed at this time. ”

Speechless, Allaxis shook his head to the side and did not speak, although he did not speak, but he could see that he had great opinions about what the current Western Empire and Aetius were doing.

"Huns!" Everyone present was stunned when Luga said this term, and they all looked at each other in surprise, as if they did not understand what Luga was saying.

"I said, Aetius left in a hurry this time because the Huns came!" Luga sighed, put the parchment on the table, and continued: "They are going to build a line north of the Tiber, because the Huns have sacked a village in the southern part of the province of Pannonia on the border with Roman territory, and the purpose is not clear, so they are going to protect the capital Ravenna and Augustus Valentinian III, and there is nothing they can do. ”

"Then, Lord Luga!" Arintius spoke, and he asked, "So what are we to do?" Is that the end of it? After all, this drama is missing a lot of actors. ”

All of them present, even the guards standing guard on the sidelines, all looked at Luga, and they were all waiting for the adopted son of Augustus to make a decision.

Luga took a deep breath, as if he had mustered up his courage, God knows how much simulated training he had done in private before making such a choice. He spoke: "Go, even without the help of Aetius, we will go, after all, this is the territory of the Romans." As soldiers of Rome, it is our duty to regain lost territory. ”

"Then what do you mean?" Although Hermanus asked, the result should be self-evident.

"Regardless of Aetius, he said in the letter that he should not care about them, we will go on an expedition, according to the original plan, a quick battle, and go straight to Carthage!"

Everyone present looked at me, I looked at you, as if they still had some doubts about this decision, but after only a moment, they actually looked at Lu Jia at the same time and said "yes" in unison!

Soon, the huge army of the Eastern Empire was divided into two routes, one way from the port of Trapani, with 500 warships carrying 30,000 men.

Syracuse, on the other hand, had 650 warships, a team of more than 30,000 men, and the navy was still an army of 100,000 men. With such a huge army, Luga was naturally full of confidence, and he didn't care about the question of whether he was an opponent of the Vandals. Presumably, after all the men they have drawn, it is impossible to form such an army that can compete with it. Everyone was in high spirits, and they were gearing up to teach the Vandals a good lesson, but the only guy on this expedition was not very happy, and he was Andrew, who was known to be so sick with seasickness.

After five days of sailing, Luga's fleet joined the army that had set out at Trapani, and the huge fleet of 1,100 ships stretched for thousands of miles.

"Lord Luga!"

Because he was on the flagship of the Combined Fleet, Luga was still on the same ship as Hermanus and his son Berialiu. Of course, the officers who were in command this time were

Of course, strategic deployment is necessary, Carthage is, after all, a coastal city, an attack from a dock or from a land? How to attack? How to allocate troops? These are all very critical issues, and Luga doesn't dare to be sloppy at this point, after all, this is tens of thousands of lives, not a game that can be squandered at will.

"We will first land 20,000 men on the beach outside Carthage, and we must ensure that they are not eaten by the Vandals when they come ashore!" Luga said, pointing to a beach on the map that looked a little gentle, and continued, "The army on land is a very important siege force for us, and they must have an experienced veteran to command and contain as many Vandals as possible. Then select a thousand men to take the port and disrupt the Vandals in the city, while we landed outside the city and took the walls. Lay down the cavalry units in advance and make a detour outside the city, stopping all the Vandals who thought of escaping from the city. ”

"His Excellency Areobindes and His Excellency Anlasis are up to the task." The generals unanimously recommended the two of them, and in the face of public expectations, the two old generals also nodded firmly.

"That's good," said Luga, though he didn't know them, except that they were the right-hand men of Augustus Theodosius II of the Eastern Empire.

Although this was all on paper, and Luga did not know the details of Carthage, maybe such a simple plan would not work at all on the real battlefield, but he still felt that it was much better to plan early.

They have never seen what Carthage looks like, they are all half-catty guys, and no one dislikes anyone, and the generals present all nodded in agreement.

"Then it's decided!" Luga seemed to be confident, and he stepped out of the cabin door to look at the endless sea, the hull was still so jolting, and as soon as he stopped, he heard the sound of Andrew vomiting outside the ship.

"Hold on a little longer!" Luga said secretly in his heart: "Soon, we are going to end everything!" ”
