sweeping the world

Chapter 1038 Maybe Understandable
A strong country naturally needs to have the demeanor of a strong country, and some things will make the small country and few people feel baffled, and they can't understand what they are doing.

Before the start of the fight, Marus never thought about winning the duel. He intended to use his own death to retain the dignity of being a general of a powerful country, that is, he died on the battlefield of fighting the enemy, not in a desperate situation that was destined to be impossible to escape. journey.

As a general, it is an honor for a soldier to be able to die in the hands of the supreme commander of the opponent when he is defeated in a battle. If he dies in the hands of his own people, he will be infamous for thousands of years. It is a kind of joke to be bitten to death by wild beasts. Behavior.

Unable to turn the tide of the war, under the watchful eyes of tens of thousands of soldiers from both armies, lives were harvested in a fair fight, which was the last dignity of a defeated general.

"Kill me!" Marus didn't see any fear, what he didn't expect was that he would lose, and lose so quickly: "You won."

In the fight just now, the sword blades of the two sides slashed against each other's armor more than once. Facts have proved that as the supreme commander of the army, the armor on his body is not an ordinary thing. The friction between the blade and the armor is basically a scratch. If there are sparks, it is difficult to cause actual harm to the human body.

The weapon in Malus' hand is a dagger, and his main fighting method is stabbing.He stabbed Qin Song two or three times, and even the tip of the sword was blocked by the steel plate, leaving only a dent and some scratches after sliding away.

Of course, Qin Song also stabbed or slashed Marus, and he couldn't break the armor when he hit the iron plates that looked like lobster shells, but the leather parts penetrated into the flesh and blood.His last sweeping leg was the result of hitting Marus on the shoulder, which caused Marus to lose his balance and was instantly swept down.

The soldiers on both sides of the battlefield have quieted down. The soldiers who are close can naturally see the commanders of both sides on the battlefield clearly. The soldiers who are far away can only see the blurred outlines of the two. People can't see anything.

When the translator came over at this time, the two sides had a basis for communication.

"It's really boring." Qin Song didn't stab the point of the sword pointing at Marus's forehead. He was really dissatisfied with this "to the teacher (single-handed)" match, thinking that he won easily because the opponent had already wanted to die. Didn't try my best: "You are my prisoner now."

"Why..." Marus was surprised that Qin Song didn't kill himself: "You Siris should hate us. We provoked the battlefield on our own initiative, and I was defeated, so I should be punished by death."

Qin Song will not explain too much, he is just the commander of one of the partial divisions, not the general commander of this battle.

In fact, even Li Kuang, the commander of the campaign, did not have the authority to deal with it on his own under the condition that he was able to capture the Roman general alive. It was Chang'an who could decide the life and death of the Roman general.

"You will be sent to Chang'an, and what kind of results you will get depends on what you have done." Qin Song stared at Marus for a while and said with a smile: "Did you order them to disarm, or I order the troops to advance?"

Marus is a little dazed now, his wish to die in the hands of the commander of the Han army is obviously difficult to realize, but suicide does not meet the desired result, and he is a little stunned for a while.

Just when Qin Song waved his hand to let the people who confronted Marus's soldiers come to escort him, Marus finally came to his senses.

"Dear General Siris, can you guarantee that after surrendering..." Marus asked with a gray face, but with anticipation: "Can my soldiers be treated fairly?"

"You are very strange. You obviously wanted to die just now. After you die, you must have no control over how we treat surrendered soldiers." Qin Song's face was more or less ridiculed. In fact, he thought that the horse who came to seek death Russ is a coward who abandons his soldiers: "What kind of justice are you going to talk to me about now?"

The Han Empire was not the first to provoke this war. The Han Empire was the party that passively responded to the invasion.

Although the battlefield is outside the borders of the Han Empire, the Han Empire is still on the victim's side. It is an extremely funny thing for an invader to talk about justice after a defeat, let alone the current world. There are no treaties of belligerence.

Marus lowered his head and roared something loudly.

Qin Song didn't need to listen to the interpreter's explanation, but he could tell from Marus's voice full of sadness that it was the Romans who surrendered.

Although it was ironic at this time, the quality of a powerful country was reflected again. The Roman soldiers who received the order to surrender lined up at the order, and after becoming a long queue of people, they walked slowly. When they reached the designated position, they put their weapons and shields , Armor classified and put away.

One after another, the Roman soldiers disarmed themselves, and it seemed so orderly. After they lost their weapons, they went to the temporary guard point planned by the Han army very cooperatively, without any confusion in the process.

"We still have a large group of soldiers supervising the various tribes." Pales was the adjutant of the Roman army, and he spoke to Liu Shen, who led the team to receive the camp: "Those soldiers of all tribes didn't know that we were going to surrender. .”

There are about 2000 Roman soldiers in this camp, more than [-] Roman vassal races and more than [-] miscellaneous soldiers of various ethnic groups.

The more than 1 people belonging to the Roman vassal race walked out of the camp one after another under the orders of the Roman soldiers. They were not as orderly as the Roman soldiers surrendered, but there was no trouble. in disarming.

What the Romans can't control is the other 2000 miscellaneous soldiers of various ethnic groups. They have monitored these 2000 people in advance, and they must be handed over after surrendering.As for how the Han army treated the more than 2000 miscellaneous soldiers of various ethnic groups, the Romans couldn't control it.

"According to your tradition, you should take orders from me now, right?" Liu Shen was young, but his physique was much taller than his peers, and he wore a mask. Although his voice was soft, there were many people with strange voices.He got the other party's acknowledgment and said: "Then, those people refuse to surrender, you will participate in the extermination."

Palles had no extra thoughts, he was just surprised that the Han Empire officer in front of him knew so much about Roman customs, and he tapped his right chest to express his willingness to obey the order.

It may seem strange to obey orders in certain things after surrendering, but that is a habit of the Romans, especially when dealing with barbarians who do not seem to be civilized, Rome never minds waving their hands in the weapon.

"Tun chief..." Ji Hai seized the opportunity and muttered: "A brigade consists of nearly [-] Roman soldiers. It is not appropriate to let them cooperate without disarming them?"

The organizational structure of the firearms troops of the Han Empire has not undergone major changes, and there are only 250 people in a village.

"You know what a fart, shut up!" Xu Guang has already decided that he must smash Ji Hai's ass after the war: "The general of the Romans has surrendered, and more than 700 people are hostages. The remaining 300 or so People know exactly what kind of situation they are facing, and don't know what to mutter about!"

In fact, that was the case. The more than 300 Romans who had not been disarmed did not dare to make any rash moves against the Han army.What's more, there are three other villages around, and if something happens, they can be double-teamed within 5 minutes.

Receiving [-] surrendered troops is considered a feat. Liu Shen knew that this task was to take advantage of him, and Qin Song must have made a perfect plan, so it was impossible for him to be in any danger.

The more than 300 Roman soldiers cooperated extremely well. As the more than 2000 miscellaneous soldiers of various ethnic groups who were monitored in advance and later learned that the Romans and their vassal races had surrendered, after they knew that there was nothing they could do to save and that resistance was the end of death, even though they were There was chaos, and it stopped after dozens of people were killed.

The final result of this local annihilation battle was only 34 soldiers from small countries and small tribes died. The Han army did not even have a single wounded, and only Marus was injured on the Roman side. In this way The curtain fell.

After Li Kuang learned of Qin Song's report, he didn't show his inner thoughts on his face. He asked Song Ping, "The adjutant of the Romans made a suggestion, take a look."

Song Ping took the official document and read it seriously.The more he looked at his face, the more strange he got. After reading the document, he put down the official document in his hand, and said with such a dumbfounding expression: "This Roman named Pales, he expressed his willingness to accept our employment and stand on our side to participate in the next step." war."

This kind of thing actually has its own way of understanding for Zhu Xia. In history, Zhu Xia did not lack examples of defeated troops being incorporated, but it usually happened under the premise of civil war.

Since it is a civil war, the soldiers on both sides belong to the same clan, but the military rations they ate before were different. Unless they are a person with a special status or a stubborn person, otherwise they will change their identities and continue to eat military rations, turning from hostile to victorious Efficacy, I don't think it's an outrageous thing.

The current situation is different. The Han people and the Romans are not of the same race, and the ongoing war between the two is not a civil war.Under the premise of improving the international image of the Han Empire, they intended to treat the defeated and surrendered enemy soldiers as morally as possible, but they never thought that the Romans would propose to transfer their weapons to deal with their former allies.

"Lieutenant Qin is talking about employment?" Li Kuang was recalling his understanding of Rome, and he only found a few examples after deliberation: "Roman soldiers were paid for their service. In the era of their officers' chaos, the soldiers worked for this day. It seems to be a very common thing to serve on the one hand, but to serve the opponent who was killed before tomorrow?"

Song Ping didn't understand the Romans at all, so he couldn't say what advice he could give Li Kuang.

"Maybe this is a good proposal." Li Kuang thought about it very seriously, and then slowed down and said, "Although I didn't understand that it was the personal move of Pales, the Romans had already been defeated. The final response plan. Accepting his proposal will be a heavy blow to the Persians."

There is no need for Li Kuang to be too clear about some things. The Romans are one of the two giants in the anti-Han axis. If the well-organized Roman legion becomes a vassal fighting force of the Han army, it will not only cause a heavy blow to the Persians, but also It may also lead to the disintegration of the alliance between the two countries. At the same time, those countries that voluntarily or were forced to join the anti-Han axis should jump and curse if they know such a thing.

"Rome is very far away from the Han Dynasty." Song Ping could only give Li Kuang some advice on the overall situation: "The South is building a fleet and plans to expedition to Rome by sea, but it will be next year at the earliest."

The land of the Han Empire and Rome was separated by many countries, tribes, and tribes. When the Han army attacked from the east of the world island to the border of Rome, God knows when it will be.

At present, the only way for the Han Empire to attack Rome is to take the sea, which is just a long-distance cross-sea expedition, especially a cross-sea expedition that requires more than one year of sailing. Although the center passed the resolution of the cross-sea expedition, its attitude is not so in fact. resolute.

"One year..." Li Kuang only considered his own theater, and it was not his turn to consider the overall situation, so he did not hesitate to make a decision: "I agree with the proposal of the Romans, but there is no employment. They can only be used as slave soldiers " Paused, and then continued: "Externally, publicize the news of the breakdown of the alliance between the Romans and the Persians, complete the control of the Roman legion as quickly as possible, and arrange them to the front line. on the offensive."

Leaving aside why Pallos made such a request, it would indeed be a very good thing for the Anxi Protectorate, and there are really too many places that can be manipulated.

In fact, if the Romans hadn't suggested it, Li Kuang would have made a fuss about those Romans in the future, but it was not as convenient as the Romans' active cooperation.

"What?" Liu Shen was summoned by Qin Song, thinking he heard it wrong: "I am in charge of organizing the Romans who are willing to fight for the big man?"

Today is the fourth day of their easy victory, and the troops have moved to the camp that has been converted into an advanced base.

The scale of this camp is quite large, enough to accommodate all the current Han troops, and it can also specially plan an area to house prisoners.

"This is a direct order from the guardian." Qin Song was a little dazed when he received the order, and it took him a whole night to figure it out. It was to create a "halo" for Liu Shen.He was very happy to see this situation, and said: "Your headquarters will be expanded to 500 people. The Roman soldiers who surrendered are very cooperative, but you should not let your vigilance because of their cooperation. As long as you can do this thing well , It is a very good thing for His Highness."

Liu Shen didn't think much about it before, but he immediately reacted when he was reminded.

Incorporating the Roman Legion will inevitably involve many political-related tasks. Even if Liu Shen does not achieve any results in the end, the Protectorate has plenty of ways to arrange other results on Liu Shen in a reasonable and reasonable manner.

If this time can take advantage of this opportunity to break the alliance between Rome and Sasanian, Liu Shen will have a commendable political capital, which will undoubtedly be a big step forward to the crown prince. At the same time, whether Liu Shen understands it or not, he must admit that The favor of the Anxi Protectorate.
