The Romans were defeated and fled back to the camp in a hurry.

However, before they could take a breath, all the Han army troops had already caught up and launched a fierce attack on the camp.

Monica was shocked and quickly commanded her officers and soldiers to resist. The sound of the battle was earth-shaking, and the Roman army was completely at a disadvantage! Monica felt in horror that it was afraid that it would not take long before the entire camp defense line would be broken through by the powerful enemy!

At this critical moment, Monica had no choice but to continue to block the attack with one force, and at the same time ordered other troops to board the ship and retreat to the sea immediately.

As the order was passed, the entire Roman army became even more panicked. People rushed to board the ship, and many people fell into the water, and the entire shore was in chaos.

This kind of scene is even worse than that in Normandy during World War II.

After seeing the scene of rushing to board the ship in the rear, the pursuit troops in the front were unintentional to fight, and many people fled without authorization!

The Roman army's defense line was already very difficult under the fierce attack of the Han army, and it could not resist it at this moment. It immediately collapsed under the fierce attack of the Han army, and the entire defense line completely collapsed.

All the Han army units broke into the camp, and swept the troops straight ahead, killing the escaped Roman officers and soldiers' bodies blood-filled and violently!

Monica originally wanted to wait a while before boarding the ship, but suddenly she saw the Han army breaking into the camp and her army was defeated again. She was extremely frightened and could no longer care about anything else, so she quickly boarded her own boat.

The other Roman officers and soldiers had completely lost their fighting spirit at this moment, and everyone rushed to board the ship. Some even pushed their companions in front of them without hesitation in order to be able to board the ship!

Many ships, seeing that the Han army had already rushed to a distance, immediately started moving without considering that many people were boarding the ship! In this way, the pedals that were originally mounted on the ship were immediately suspended, and many officers and soldiers who were boarding the ship fell into the water!

The roars and scolding sounded one after another, and the scene in front of me was extremely chaotic!

The Han army swept and chased them all the way to the beach. At this time, most of the ships had left the shore and fled in a hurry!

On the nearby water, many Romans who fell into the water were swimming desperately in vain, trying to catch up with their fleet;

On the shore, corpses were everywhere, and the originally light yellow beach was dyed with blood. The captured Roman officers and soldiers were trembling, like lambs trembling under the claws of tigers and wolfs!

The Romans who escaped by chance all calmed down when they looked at the tragic scene on the shore, and many people felt guilty.

Monica looked at the shore blankly, her face looking very ugly. She felt like she had a very terrible nightmare!

It was finally dawn, a long dark night finally passed, and the Roman army returned to Nicosia.

When the local people heard that Her Majesty's army had returned, they rushed out to watch. They thought Her Majesty had already broken Antioch.

However, what caught their eyes was an unimaginable miserable scene. The army that drove out not long ago only half of the people came back, and many of them were injured. Looking at their dejected appearance, it was obvious that they had suffered a great defeat!

All the local people were shocked, and then the shock turned into fear, and a very uneasy mood quickly spread among the people of Nicosia.

Monica stood in the big tent, listening to the report on her losses, and felt dizzy and almost fainted on the spot.

The old general Hiller, who was wrapped in thick bandages and had a pale face, couldn't help but curse: "What's going on? Didn't the main force of the enemy have already gone to Asia Minor? Why did they all appear in Antioch?"

Everyone present also had this doubt and couldn't help but whisper.

At this moment, an officer led a young man exhausted and half his life to the tent and saluted Monica, "Your Majesty, we just found this man on the beach, saying that he was Lord Smith's messenger."

The officer's Lord Smith was the secret envoy sent by Monica to Asia Minor.

Monica's heart moved and immediately walked to the messenger and asked, "Are you Smith's messenger?"

The messenger nodded and barely stood up to salute Monica.

Monica helped him up and said anxiously: "Speak quickly! What's going on over Asia Minor? Why did Guan Yu's main force appear here? This is completely different from the previous information!

Didn’t your previous report say that Guan Yu and the barbarian coalition forces are in a bad situation?”

The messenger showed a confused expression and hurriedly said, "No! We have never sent such a flying pigeon letter! In fact, we sent all the urgent letters!"

Thinking of something, he quickly took out a roll of parchment from his arms, which had been soaked in water and presented it to Monica.

He said: "It was because we sent several urgent letters, but we didn't get a reply from His Majesty. The adults thought things were not good, so they sent me to report to His Majesty with the letter!

Monica quickly took the parchment roll, opened it and looked at it, her face changed drastically, and she shouted: "What's going on? Why is this not the case with the previous letter?"

The messenger looked confused, and he could not answer Monica's question at all.

Hiller couldn't help asking, "Your Majesty, what's going on?"

Monica looked at the sheepskin letter in front of her and frowned: "The previous letters said that our plan was successful, the barbarian army successfully conquered Byzantium, and the main force had entered Asia Minor and rushed towards Antioch.

Then Fei Ge passed on a letter saying that the army led by Guan Yu was at a disadvantage in fighting the barbarians in Asia Minor.

However, the letter said that the Duke of Asia Minor pretended to surrender and helped the Han army eliminate the surrendered Irving and others at the city of Antioch. Then the Han army took the opportunity to ambush the barbarian army. The barbarian army was frustrated and had temporarily stopped the attack!"

When everyone heard these contents, they couldn't help but look at each other and felt inexplicably surprised. The messenger hurriedly said, "How could this happen? The Fei Ge's letter we sent was clearly reporting the critical situation on the battlefield!"

Monica paced back and forth in the big tent, and no one spoke in the big tent, and the atmosphere seemed a little depressing.

Hiller couldn't help but say, "This is too strange..."

Monica stopped and said in a deep voice: "Although I don't know how the Han army did it! But it is certain that the Fei Ge sent by Smith must have been intercepted by them and then replaced!..."

When everyone heard this, they felt incredible, and they also felt that there was only one explanation at the moment.

Monica returned to the main seat and sat down, looking a little solemn.

Everyone present looked at each other, and the atmosphere of failure filled the entire tent.

Monica glanced at everyone and suddenly smiled: "You don't have to worry too much! Although the current situation is a bit unexpected, I still have a trump card that can turn the defeat into victory in one fell swoop!"
