Mythical big man, champion soldier saint

Chapter 486 The Pride of a Race 【Ticket Request】

In the middle of the night, the city of Nordiali is brightly lit.

The Han army is conducting a thorough investigation of the entire city.

After the city was occupied by the Han army, people were panicked. There were several riots among the people, but they were all quickly suppressed by the Han army.

The Han army promised not to embarrass ordinary people without reason.

The young and middle-aged men in the city were separated from their families, and lived separately in the inner city and the outer city.

Both sides must worry about the safety of their families, and the number of people who dare to act recklessly will be greatly reduced.

After Gongsun Hong came over, he took over the internal affairs of the city.

He governs a city with the talents of a prime minister, with a handle in his hand.

After understanding the situation in the city, Gongsun Hong issued twelve government orders in three consecutive days, and allowed separated family members in the city to meet regularly.

Knowing that each other is safe in the inner and outer cities, the people's resentment dropped.

As time passed, the city became relatively stable.

But at this moment the night is dark, iron hoofs are like thunder in the city, scouts are everywhere, and people's hearts are panicked again.

The City Lord's Mansion, the sleeping hall of the back house.

After the subordinates were ordered to retreat, the two dead assassins slowly stood up again. The previously severed hand tendons and hamstrings were also healing. There seemed to be a force in their bodies that was promoting the recovery of their injuries.

Utis' pupils shrank slightly, and he was secretly startled.

These two people were obviously exhausted and died, and they were resurrected before their eyes? !
The young woman, walking behind the old woman, disappeared into her shadow.

The old woman's eyes opened and closed, and she reached out to grasp in the void. She actually took out another black robe and covered her body, restoring her original appearance.He was wearing a puppet's black robe, hiding himself inside, and there was a woman in the shadow.

Utis knew this old woman and knew that she was the hidden power of the Parthian royal family.

The lord Mithridates has a secret team, and this old woman is one of the two leaders, responsible for training and controlling the secret team.

The old woman practiced the forbidden dark magic and was also the most powerful assassin in Parthia.

As far as Utis knew, he had never missed a hand before today.

The young woman she brought was able to hide in the shadows behind her because both of them had practiced the magic of twins.

Only close blood relatives are required to meet the requirements for practice.

It's a pity that he met Huo Qubing and died together.

But the two men were resurrected from the dead at this moment, which was simply unbelievable to those who didn't know the art of reviving corpses.

Utis glanced at Huo Qubing.

The young Eastern commander was writing on a pair of sheepskin scrolls.

After he finished writing, he sealed the leather scroll, and the old woman took it, and his figure flickered, turned into a shadow, and disappeared without a trace.

Utis thought to himself: The champion should ask Jilia (the old woman) to deliver a letter to the king.

Not long after the old woman left, the people who thoroughly investigated the city came to reply: "Great Sima, a new secret passage has been found in the mansion."

After the Han army entered the city, they thoroughly checked the inside and outside of the city, especially the city lord's mansion where Huo Qubing stayed.

During the first thorough investigation, a secret passage was discovered and controlled.

After a thorough investigation again, I found out that there is a hidden mezzanine in the secret passage, and there is another more secret path inside.

Before the city was broken, this path was closed, so the first thorough investigation failed to find it.

Even though the old women used secret passages, they were still able to enter the City Lord's Mansion under tight defenses.

After Huo Qubing absorbed the consciousness of the old woman by using the dead body to revive his soul, he also discovered that besides the two of them, other people had sneaked into the city together, trying to incite riots among the people and cooperate with the external offensive.

That night, the city was in turmoil. A small team that followed the old woman into the city was thoroughly investigated and captured by the Han army, and many people were killed.

The night is fleeting.

In the following days, the situation in neighboring countries changed, and the Han army also made corresponding targeted deployments.

In the afternoon, Gongsun Hong came in from outside the hall and saw Huo Qubing buried in his writing, while Huo Guang was standing behind him.

Bai Nanyu was behind the low seat on the other side, flipping through various classics, as if helping Huo Qubing look up information.

Gongsun Hong came closer and asked, "What is the Marquis writing?"

"Summarize the characteristics of the soldiers and horses of each country, their strengths and weaknesses."

Gongsun Hong was immediately aroused interest.

With Huo Qubing's military talent, what would the tribes of various countries, their strengths and weaknesses, look like in his perspective?

"I was about to listen to the Marquis's opinion." Gongsun Hong was very interested.

"What does the old prime minister want to hear?"

"Let's start with the current opponent, Patia. What are the characteristics of their army, and how strong or weak is it in the Lord Hou's mind?"

Huo Qubing smiled: "The heavy cavalry of Parthia is the most prominent in the world.

They have experienced two military reforms. The cavalry is heavily armored and they are in the fourth battle area. They have no shortage of actual combat opportunities. They have rich combat experience, strong defense and great impact, making them the best unit for field charges.

With 1 people as an army, the three armies are unified, and battalions are set up under the army, which go down layer by layer. The smallest unit is a row of 15 people.

Parthia's annual expenditure on raising more than [-] heavy cavalry accounts for nearly one-third of the entire army's consumption, but its combat effectiveness is equivalent to half of the entire army. It has repeatedly performed meritorious deeds and is invincible.

There is actually a chance for them to fight against our Han army, but it is a pity that they did not pay enough attention to us in the early stage. "

"What Huo Hou means is that if they concentrate all their strength from the beginning, it will be difficult to predict whether they will win or lose against our Han army?" Gongsun Hong said.

Huo Qubing smiled: "That's their loss, I said there is a chance, it will cause us a greater loss.

There will be no force to march west for several years. "

Gong Sunhong asked: "Heavy cavalry is the strongest in Parthia, what about pawns?"

Huo Qubing: "Infantry is the arm with the longest history of development. The infantry of our Han people has always been one of the most comprehensive and powerful infantry for attacking cities and conquering territory."

"In addition to our army, another powerful infantry group is the Macedonian infantry that we just encountered not long ago.

The elite among them are real warriors with tenacious will and strict discipline. "

The famous Spartan heavy infantry was also a powerful army in ancient Greece, and it was the first professional army in history.During the Hippo-Persian War, Leonidas' [-] Spartan soldiers, led by [-] Greek coalition troops, fought fiercely with the [-] Persian army.

A record like a myth!

In the end, Persia barely won by relying on the guidance of the Greek traitors, which shows its combat effectiveness.

Huo Qubing said like a few treasures: "In addition to infantry and heavy cavalry, the most important military type in the world is light cavalry.

The cavalry of the Huns is highly mobile and can change horses many times a day to keep advancing.And since they were born, they almost grew up on horseback, and they are skilled in bowing horses alone, which is unmatched by anyone. "

At this moment, Su Jian and Gongsun He came in hand in hand, and nodded after hearing the words.

They have fought against the Huns for a long time, and they know that every Hun soldier can shoot back, left, and right on horseback.

"The Xiongnu lost at the hands of our Han army. What they lost was their lack of organization and power of practice. It was related to their lack of unified and strict discipline because they centered on the royal court and their respective tribes only gathered into an army during the war.

We excel in more professional training and strict military discipline.

The characteristic of our tactics is that in order to defeat the Xiongnu, the whole army must be united and have the courage to fight to the death without retreating.

The Xiongnu used grassland tactics, and they would migrate if they lost. They lacked the courage to fight to the death, so when our horse fighting ability improved, they were doomed to fail. "

What Huo Qubing said was not just his own conclusion.

There are military strategists in later generations who have analyzed the powerful arms of various countries in the period of cold weapons.

The light cavalry of the Han Dynasty truly frightened foreigners, became famous throughout history, and was the pride of a race.

"Uncle Gongsun is here, but the situation on the front line has changed?"

Huo Qubing looked at Gongsun He.

The topic of military discussion is not finished. In addition to the characteristics of each military branch, when it comes to mixed regiment combat, the strongest ones are the Romans.

Their mixed legion and the Qing cavalry of the Han army were called the two strongest troops at that time by later generations.

The Han army not only has strong combat effectiveness and strict organization.

In particular, the extensive use of crossbows gave the Han army an absolute advantage against the armies of other countries.

Rome developed from a city-state to a Mediterranean hegemon.

Since their republican days, the Roman legions have fought countless battles.

They successively defeated the Latin Confederates, the Iradaya, the Gauls, the Samonites, the Italians, Epirus, Carthage, Macedonia, etc.

The experienced Roman legion has super combat effectiveness.

Rome in this period has not yet completed all integration, but it has begun to kill the Quartet and is rising rapidly, plundering and occupying a large amount of land around the Mediterranean Sea.

...Huo Qubing began to listen to Gongsun He's report.

"The scouts of the former army and the embroidered tribesmen who came to Parthia have confirmed that the Macedonians have sent [-] troops, more than [-] infantry, and a combination of light and heavy cavalry, about [-], and are converging on the plains of western Parthia. ."

"Armenia is also going all out, mobilizing as many as 4 soldiers and horses, and setting off first, rushing to Parthia."

"Currently, only Seleu has not officially sent troops to join the war, and his attitude is vague."

Gongsun He said: "Parthia's native land, Armenia, and Macedonian support for food, can still gather [-] to [-] troops.

The three parties combined, nearly 15 soldiers, all of whom were elite warriors. "

Su Jiandao: "Our Han army is in Parthia, the Da Yuezhi area, and the total number of soldiers and horses is around [-].

In addition to the various defense lines and soldiers that cannot be mobilized, only 3 people can be mobilized for combat. According to Da Sima... Do we need to mobilize troops from the Western Regions? "

Huo Qubing came to the window, looking far away: "The other party is a coalition army, lack of training, and must be difficult to get together.

There is no need to be afraid of the temporarily assembled troops, no matter how many, our Han army has 15 veterans, and [-] enemies are enough. "

Gongsun Hong stroked his beard and said with a smile: "If anyone else could say 15 to [-], I would think he is too arrogant. Only Huo Hou said this, I am not surprised, and I believe it deeply."

Everyone agrees.

Huo Qubing's prestige is based on his past achievements, so he is very convincing.

If this battle is won, Parthia's National Games will be cut off... everyone is inexplicably excited and looking forward to it.

----

At noon in late May, there was a mountainous wilderness in the distance.

The [-] Macedonian elite, led by the second son of the king, Lor, marched to the northeast of the Parthian Plain.

The team raised dust, and the army advanced.

The priest team led by Afti was also among them.

Several generals headed by Lore deliberately slowed down and came to the side of Afti who was sitting on the horse.

As the two jewels of Macedonia, Aphti has always been the 'chief target' of many young nobles, and many people secretly want to get this glamorous and beautiful priestess on the couch.

You should know that not all priests have to be abstinent according to the gods they serve.

Lore also has a strong interest in Afty.

"Priest Afti, you have been in contact with the Han army. In your opinion, how long will it take for the coalition forces we gather to defeat the Han people?" Lol asked.

He asked how long it would take to defeat the Han army, not whether it could be defeated, showing strong confidence.

Afti didn't answer but instead asked: "This is also the question I want to ask you. As the commander in chief, how sure are you?"

Luo Er's majestic body sat on the horse with amazing pressure. His eyes looked at Afti unscrupulously and said with a smile:
“As a commander-in-chief, I will be very cautious and will not easily tell the winner without actually competing on the battlefield.

But from the perspective of personal confidence, I have the certainty of victory.

Just like when I Macedonians were under the leadership of Alexander the Great, we were intimidated and conquered the Quartet.It's the same now, the Macedonian Corps is in my hands and will regain its glory back then. "

Afti said: "You are right, my Macedonian Legion was indeed invincible, but you... you really should be more cautious."

She recalled the brief confrontation with Huo Qubing, the other party obviously had spare energy.

Although the time spent watching the Han army from a distance was short, it left a profound impression.

It will not be so easy for the coalition forces to defeat the Han army.

"In the last battle, Armenia and Parthia united, but were still defeated by the Han army.

Lore, if you are careless, I, the Macedonian, will die on the battlefield. "

Luo Er said politely: "Thank you for the reminder, Priest Afti, I will use victory to prove my judgment."

At the same time, the old woman who assassinated Huo Qubing returned to the Parthian capital.

She herself is a strong Parthian, able to enter and leave the court, and after reporting, she successfully met the lord Mithridates.

The two parties met in the main hall of the palace, where several ministers were discussing matters with Mithridates.

"The operation failed?"

Mithridates sits on the throne, holding a scepter.

Since being attacked by Kongsamadhi, he has become extremely cautious, always holding the artifact and the national destiny scepter to protect himself.

The old woman looked at the ministers in the palace.

All of a sudden, without warning, she exploded, her target was the Minister of Military Aircraft, her speed was like a ghost.

Snapped!
The old woman slapped the Minister of Military Aircraft between the eyebrows.

This was so sudden that no one in the hall was prepared for it.

The Minister of Military Aircraft's eyes widened in horror, he was hit on the forehead and died suddenly.

Without stopping, the old woman rushed to the next target with a gloomy expression on her face.

Ps: please vote, thank you
