Mythic version of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1960
It's not that the border counties in the east of Rome have not received news about the changes in Anxi, but the current situation in Rome is a bit bad.

The Duke of Border County in this area, that is, the Duke of Ganassis who fought with Li Jue, was the first to recognize the threat of the Han Empire and the first Duke of Border County to personally go to Rome to support Severus as Roman Emperor .

No matter what Ganassis thought at the beginning, as the first Duke of Border County who went to Rome to support Severus, he earned enough impression points.

Severus, who was originally from North Africa, didn't have many supporters except his own army. As a border county duke with military and political power, standing up to support him was of great significance for him to stabilize the situation in Rome.

It is precisely because of this move that Ganassis avoided becoming the chicken that Severus killed, but was considered by Severus as a trustworthy supporter. As No.1, Ganassis was naturally considered to be Severus. Lu's hardcore.

It is precisely because of this that when Severus wiped out the northern barbarians, he naturally took Ganassis with him.

That is to say, the big guy who currently governs the eastern provinces of Rome, involving Mesopotamia, Syria, Cali and other places, is not in his territory. He is now accompanying his emperor to fight with the barbarians in England , so the response of this area is somewhat slow.

But dullness is dullness, but it is not enough to lose the commander of the Duke of Bianjun, and the chiefs of the main defense armies all have brain problems.

In fact, after Ganassis left, the leaders of the three Eagle Banner regiments stationed in the east of Rome were even more careful. After getting the rest situation, they sent people to the Roman Parliament on the one hand to send a message, and on the other hand actively deployed defenses to save money. Embarrassed when the boss is not around.

Therefore, long before Anxi started, these Romans had already begun to mobilize hard. Over the years, they had a very good understanding of the fighting methods of the Parthians. Therefore, even if Ganassis was not there, the various legions were steadily established under the leadership of the legion commanders. own line of defense.

Of course, when Rome received the Anxi change at the beginning, it was defensive or preemptive, and there was some confusion in Rome.

After all, in the eastern border of Rome, Ganassis ruled a total of eight reorganized legions. Of course, the Eagle Banner Legion only had three, and the other five were barbarians. Although these barbarians are very capable of fighting, relatively speaking, pure Roman citizens The Eagle Banner Legion formed by them is more capable of fighting.

In addition to the power of the Roman citizens themselves, it is said that the eight legion commanders discussed the change in Anxi, but in fact there were only three people who actually discussed it, and similarly, the so-called defense or attack also broke out among these three people.

A Legion Commander named Marcus Aurelius Gilia in Rome immediately summoned all the Legion Commanders after receiving the information about the Anxi incident, and it was he who proposed to strike first For the strong program.

In fact, the important thing is not to propose a plan, what is important is that this guy's proposal is very executable.

After convening everyone, this guy directly suggested to gather all the troops and deploy the defense of each city. With three Eagle Banner regiments as the core, five barbarian troops as the auxiliary, and a large number of auxiliary troops, go directly south from Armenia to attack Pati. The hinterland of Asia—Media and Ctesiphon!

Using offense instead of defense, forced Anxi to give up the plan to attack Mesopotamia, and placed the battlefield directly in the most prosperous place in Anxi, restraining the destructive power of the opponent's army, not seeking victory, just holding back Anxi's army, etc. The rear army arrived and directly attacked Ctesiphon, forcing the Parthian army to fight the Romans.

Of course, this proposal was rejected by the other two legion chiefs. Gillia was too young. Although he was born in the royal family and was naturally sensitive to war, his qualifications were too far behind, and such a proposal was quite Some desperate gambler mentality.

Although the three legion chiefs leading the barbarians thought this proposal was very good, it was clear that Rome's structure was clear, and the Eagle Banner Legion was much higher than other legions. Naturally, no matter how many reasons Gilia had, it would be meaningless.

Naturally, after such a frenzied proposal was rejected, the three legion commanders planned to join forces and station in Mesopotamia.

Of course, the first garrison point was placed east of the Tigris River under Gillia's strong request. After Gillia's first proposal was rejected, the two legion chiefs decided to listen to his second proposal after some consideration. proposal.

After all, the identity of the other party is too strong, and the [-]th Eagle Banner Legion is in his hands, and the ability is really good. If the two legion chiefs are not for the sake of the overall situation, they are not willing to offend this guy, even if they are big nobles. It's embarrassing if the backstage is too hard.

Of course, even after hearing Gilia's second proposal, the other two army chiefs first built camps between the Euphrates River and the Tigris River.

After all, compared to Gilia, who was young and energetic, and wanted to attack the rest of the peace head-on, the two experienced legion leaders decided to conduct the first test east of the Tigris River first.

If it goes well, then it is not impossible to destroy the opponent's vanguard with a strong attack in the first battle, boost our morale, and after the enemy is severely defeated, it is not impossible to directly rest the army to deal a head-on blow, but who can say about such things as war? allow.

It is not only the habit of the Chinese to count defeat before winning. Many outstanding and experienced generals will do this, so the two army commanders decided to build a formal camp between the Euphrates and Tigris Rivers.

Although doing so may lose the opportunity in the event of a big victory, compared to Gillia, who needs meritorious service to forge his own reputation, these two have passed that age, and they know very well what their most important duties are.

In fact, if you really want to follow Gilia's proposal, maybe you can make a surprise.

Of course, that refers to normal circumstances, but this time the situation is completely abnormal. Even if Giliah convinced everyone and led his troops to Armenia, he would inevitably bump into him and lead seven internal gas separation bodies, eight Vologis V of the Elite Legion.

The Romans had no idea how much the Parthians had bet this time. Although Vologis V had many flaws, he still lacked courage. If Gilia went to Armenia, it would be difficult for the two sides to win in a short time. burden.

According to the will of Vologis V, this group of Romans will never be allowed to withdraw, and they will never take care of the life and death of the King of Armenia. They will bite the Roman Legion tightly, so that they have no chance to retreat.

And once this happens, most of the eastern part of Rome will fall, and the Parthian army that drives straight in will definitely do all the things Rome did in Ctesiphon back then. At that level, even if Gilia survives, it will be difficult to escape Rome. Trial by Parliament.

In this way, under the orders of Dilina, the head of the Fifteenth Eagle Banner Legion, Benito, the head of the Fourteenth Eagle Banner Legion, and Gilia, the head of the No.13 Eagle Banner Legion, the legions stationed in the east of Rome began to slowly move eastward. Before Anxi arrived, he had already pushed his line of defense to the east of the two rivers.

There are currently 24 Eagle Banner Legions in Rome. After the [-]th, [-]th, and [-]th were completely destroyed, they have not been rebuilt, and the flags have been directly cancelled.

Among these 24 legions, the combat power of the former three Eagle Banner Legions is very fierce. Without the eagle flag, the combat power is equivalent to that of the super-elite legion. The savage is gone.

After all, not long ago, he was severely humiliated by the three major barbarians in Europe. If the guards were not cautious, maybe they would have lost another Eagle Banner designation that time. Soul Legion, and four super elite legions.

Generally speaking, the three Eagle Banner Legions and Army Soul Legion are not to be moved lightly, and only the legions after the fourth Eagle Banner can be used normally, and several of these legions are very capable of fighting.

The Fifth Eagle Banner Legion, the fighting power is not inferior to the first three Legions, the Legion that the last Big Three Anthony once commanded, the Ninth Eagle Banner Legion, the Legion that the last Big Three Augustus once commanded, the No.13 Eagle Banner Legion, Caesar once commanded Commander's Legion.

These three legions are also very capable of fighting, and their combat effectiveness is not inferior to the first three legions. They were basically born in the same period. The degree of sophistication.

This is also one of the important reasons why Gilia led the No.13 Eagle Banner Legion. His family was a Roman emperor, and his ancestor Lucius Aurelius Cotta was Caesar’s grandfather. This legion is considered Important supporters of their family.

"Rome's reaction is very fast. They actually occupied the superior terrain before us." Lu Meng looked at Rome's garrison area on the map and said in amazement.

"There is no good way to rest in peace. After all, this place itself is occupied by Rome. We can't be as casual as Rome." Zhuge Liang said with a sigh, and the opponent itself had the advantage.

"Hey, why don't we try it out." Li Jue eagerly said, Guo Si and Fan Chou were also like this, they haven't done a good job for a long time, and somehow they want to rub their hands when they see the enemy.

"No, let's not test it. Although the terrain of the Romans' garrison is good, it is not the best terrain. I want to come to the opponent to test it." Zhuge Liang directly rejected Li Jue's proposal. There is basically no possibility of error in the judgments made by people collectively.

Since it was a test, and it was a test on such a large scale, and more importantly, the camp was not so cautious. Zhuge Liang and others have basically confirmed that those guys are not so much a test, it is better to say that they want to fight Check it out and see if it's cheap.

Even Zhuge Liang and others have sent people further west to find out if there is a second-stage Roman camp, because from their perspective, the more they look at it, the more they feel that the wave of Rome is just to see if there is a chance to make money. a handful.

"Then why are we just watching here? Although we are here to see the world, but standing here and not doing anything, what is that?" Li Jue was inexplicably upset.

"We definitely have to do it, but we need to see the situation, and the Anxi people won't let us do it first." Zhuge Liang said with a smile, "It's impossible for them to let us intervene in the first battle. They are the main force after all. We are a guest army, it is impossible for us to move first."

Li Jue looked helpless. His hands were really itchy now. To be precise, the Xiliang iron cavalry relied entirely on combat to maintain their strength, because a large part of their training could only be carried out on the battlefield.

"We helped the Parthians sweep the battle. What conspiracy do the provincial Romans have?" Zhuge Liang said with a smile, "After all, as far as I know recently, in the last 100 years of war between Rome and Parth, Parth has not won any frontal battles." record."

"Although a large part of this is not just a matter of tactics and commanders, it is caused by a rigid and dogmatic combat mode. Now that the Parthians have changed their own combat methods, it may not be completely in a while. I'm used to it." Zhuge Liang explained to Li Jue, he believed that Li Jue would understand him.

"That is to say, if Anxi can't beat Rome, we will help him resist one or two, and if Anxi can beat Rome, then there is nothing to say." Li Jue asked angrily.

"Well, that's almost the case." Zhuge Liangliang nodded. In fact, after Zhuge Liang and others saw Anxi's generals, they felt relieved a lot. Although Anxi's generals were a bit arrogant, their strength was still very reliable.

After all, on the way to attack Mesopotamia, there are actually thirteen internal qi fragments, nine elite legions, and many well-trained soldiers who are only waiting to go to battle to kill the enemy, plus sufficient supplies and grandiose troops. Zhuge Liang couldn't see the possibility of Anxi losing due to his high morale and the arrogant but relatively cautious veteran Fars Sassan.

In fact, Zhuge Liang's vision was not wrong. The arrogant behavior of the veteran Fars Sassan was just to boost the confidence of the Anxi soldiers, and the careful dispatching of the march was to find opportunities for combat. This is a very powerful veteran.

By the way, the veteran's grandson, Ardashir, was the general who destroyed Guishuang and the emperor who established the Sasanian Persian Dynasty. Incidentally, the reason why this dynasty was named Sasanian was because of the veteran in front of him.

This veteran who was promoted by Vologis V as the coach was the one who brought their family to glory, and his son and grandson worked hard for two generations to make their family rise successfully, and even had a power comparable to Rome, destroying nobles. Frost ability.

Of course, the most important thing is that their family absorbed the nutrition of Parthia first, and established the Sasanian Persian Dynasty on the collapsed Parthian land without much loss.

Although Guishuang had been completely split at that time, as for the reason for the split, it was the former Central Asian who forcibly separated the Western Guishuang Dynasty with Khorasan and Khwarazimo, but it was wiped out not long after. King Guishuang also had to send envoys to Sassan Persia to surrender.

　In fact, the Fifth Eagle Banner Legion also has a title called the Skylark Legion. To be precise, these particularly capable legions have their own other titles. Well, I am late, but I have added content to this chapter
