Mythic version of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1982 The Beginning of the Counterattack

Benito led the remnants of the [-]th Legion to retreat all the way. From the moment the Parthians dropped the kerosene bomb into the city of Akkad, Benito understood why the Parthians would not play their cards according to common sense. Afraid of sacrifice, he forcibly crossed the Tigris River.

The other party already knew everything when he was on the other side of the river, and the other party had already crushed him from the intellectual level, and all his plans were clearly visible to the other party's eyes. worse.

As for the only way to solve the conspiracy, which is the so-called frontal crushing, unfortunately, after losing the Thirteenth Rose Army, the Fourteenth Army led by him would definitely not be able to do this kind of thing.

After all, the [-]th Legion is not a frontal attacking legion at all. The [-]th Legion mainly relies on the legion's terrifying universality, its ability to show perfect combat power on any battlefield, and its ability to restrain any legion.

A super-elite legion combined with the Fourteenth Legion, if it can be used, is definitely more powerful than two super-elite legions. However, a single fourteenth legion can never beat a super-elite legion head-on.

Benito's embarrassment now is because of this. The Fourteenth Army can't stand up to a super-elite army in any case, and it can't stand up to the opponent's vanguard, how to parry the opponent's counterattack.

And Benito knows very well that since he is crushing the opponent on the intellectual level, it means that he is absolutely impossible to replicate the blocking battle of the Tigris River in the Euphrates River, which also means that he has no danger to defend. .

The biggest problem for Anxi and Rome lies in this point. Except for the two rivers in the Mesopotamia and the Zagros Mountains to the east of the Mesopotamia, there is basically no place to garrison other parts.

The Iranian plateau is said to be a plateau, but in fact the center of the plateau is a vast inland basin. Well, what does the word "vast" mean? Compared with the earth, it is obviously round. Why does it look so flat? Because it is big.

The Iranian plateau is also in line with this situation, because it is so big that after passing the mountains, this place is directly flat, and it is no problem to play cavalry groups on a flat level.

Although this place does not have any rivers leading to the sea, it is still one of the few places in the world with particularly good farming conditions, and by the way, it is also the birthplace of ancient civilization.

This also led to the embarrassment of Anxi and Rome. There are only three places for defense between the two countries, and the other places are basically equivalent to plains.

As for Armenia, it is in the east of Asia Minor, bordering the Black Sea on the west and the Caspian Sea on the east. Of course, this is Armenia at the end of the second century, and the Taurus Mountains to the south of this place happen to be the dividing line between Rome and Armenia.

After passing this place, it is basically a flat plain, with Roman cities on the plain. The climate in this place is mild and humid, suitable for living, and you can get good harvests by farming casually.

Of course, the biggest problem with this place is that there is no danger to defend. As long as you cross these two mountains and two big rivers, there will be no danger in front of you.

This is also an important reason why Darius and the others went directly from Iran to the west, easily occupying half of the Mediterranean Sea, and finally stopped when they were blocked by Greek civilization.

This place is so scary. After passing the previous places, there is no danger to defend. After touching the Mediterranean Sea, as long as your shipbuilding level is high enough, you can reach the entire Mediterranean coast. There is no place in the world that is less stormy than the Mediterranean Sea. sea ​​area.

And to this extent, as long as the shipbuilding technology is crazy, the loss of land material transportation, the difficulty of transporting troops, and the long distance can all be nonsense.

In this case, it is directly transported by sea, which is also the biggest advantage of Rome's logistics. It transports grain from any port on the Mediterranean coast to another port. In the current era of recovery of heaven and earth, the Romans can guarantee delivery within two months Any place in the country you want.

You must know that 120 days is the extreme wall of the empire. In two months, hundreds of thousands of troops can be moved by just moving, and the advantage is so great that it is simply against the sky.

However, everything has advantages and disadvantages. The Romans have such a large advantage in the Mediterranean bath. Conversely, if any invader can hit the Mediterranean, any corner of the Roman country may encounter a fatal attack.

Now the Parthians are about to achieve this goal. They have crossed two rivers and two mountains, and there is no danger in front of them. Feet inserted into the Mediterranean Sea!
It can be said that the Mediterranean Sea is Rome's biggest advantage, but it is also Rome's biggest weakness. If Anxi has the navigation skills of Guishuang who calmly ran from the Indian Ocean to the Pacific Ocean, and then went to the Central Plains to find help from the Han Dynasty.

So as long as the Parthians stepped into the bath tub of Rome, all the prosperous areas of Rome would suffer a fatal attack.

However, the Romans have not paid attention to this aspect until now. After all, since the Romans occupied the entire Mediterranean Sea and contracted the entire Mediterranean Sea, no one has put their feet in the Mediterranean Sea to this day, so the Romans have never discover this disadvantage.

And now Vologis V, who has crossed the Taurus Mountains, has crossed the Mesopotamia after receiving Fars Sassan, and wiped out the Thirteenth Rose Army that caused huge losses to the Parthians in history. Vologis V immediately prepared to go south with Fars Sassan to attack the eastern province of Rome.

When the Parthian soldiers finally extended from the two rivers, and their fangs were about to pierce through the eastern province of Rome, the dissociated general sent by Benito thought several times, hesitated and reversed several times, and finally Still chose to go to the capital of Rome first.

Although Benito asked the other party to go directly to England to notify Severus, after arriving in England, he finally chose to return to the Roman capital. After all, the news of the northern victory had already been received when Giuseppe arrived in England.

In this case, as long as they fight steadily, Rome will definitely win the north. There is no need to let the war in the north of Rome fail because of a moment of anger, and the destruction of the Thirteenth Rose Legion is likely to make Severus change. The original steady plan.

It may even be because of the subsequent impatience that the barbarians see hope, guard against death, and force Rome to give up the good situation and negotiate peace with the three barbarians. This kind of thing is not worth the candle.

Although Giuseppe knew why Benito asked him to tell Severus directly, but as a general who once commanded the Legion, he also had his own understanding of the war. The Thirteenth Legion is very important. This is true. But for the Thirteenth Legion to change the Roman Empire's eastward strategy after stabilizing the West, it's not worth it.

If the enemy in the northwest of Rome is completely conquered, then Rome can free up as many as 30 troops. In this case, it is even enough to settle down in one battle. If the northwest cannot be wiped out, then the Romans can only be defeated in the east. Rest in peace, unconquerable!
"Giuseppe, what did you say?" Roman Justice Pabinian looked at Giuseppe in shock, thinking that his ears had misheard.

"The Thirteenth Legion was wiped out, and the eagle flag was taken away." Giuseppe said calmly.

"How is this possible? As a relic of Caesar, this legion is unimaginably powerful. What's more, with the support of His Majesty Nero's Fourteenth Eagle Banner Legion, even our parliamentary guards cannot completely wipe it out." Pabinian directly stated a series of reasons why the Thirteen Rose Legion is absolutely impossible to destroy.

"But, even with so many conditions, in fact he has already been destroyed." Giuseppe looked at Pabinian and said bitterly, and then the process of destroying the entire Thirteenth Legion was still Benito's subsequent response. Having said that, of course, Benito did not even hide the fact that Benito asked him to inform Severus.

In Rome, they are the guardians of the city and the empire. They have no actual power, but the country will try to provide all the resources they need. They will not participate in civil wars. They will The only thing is to work hard to improve your own strength and make yourself stronger.

Therefore, these people enjoy super-citizen treatment in Rome. They can go directly to the people they need if necessary, and they don't need to cover up for anyone. Their meaning is for the Roman Empire!
"This makes me explain to the parliament, how to explain to His Majesty, how to explain to the citizens! All those who recommended Gilia's pig should be hanged!" Pabinian no longer had the calmness of the judge at this time. The whole person went crazy.

"It's useless to say these things. I didn't inform His Majesty Severus. You also know the reason. I learned about the situation when I went to England, so I returned to Rome directly to discuss this matter with you." Giuseppe looked at Papinian and said.

"You are right about this. At this time, His Majesty must not know the news that the Thirteen Roses have fallen. We are about to completely end the enemies in the northwest. As long as these barbarians are ended, there will be only one enemy left around Rome. When the time comes to gather the power of the empire, we will definitely be able to take down the entire Anxi in one go." Pabinian said after taking a deep breath.

After all, this commander who will also control the strongest guards in Rome in the future has no shortage of strategic vision, but he did not inform Severus, and the current eastern border county is in an empty state, only the [-]th and [-]th legions, Leading the barbarian army has no way to resist Anxi.

"I don't have the right to mobilize the army." Pabinian calmed down his mind as much as possible, looked at Giuseppe and said, "Only His Majesty, the four border county dukes, and the parliamentary group have the power to mobilize the army. I am Lord Chancellor, I have not."
