Chapter 743 The Bully Persian

"Damn Romans!"

Regarding what Marius Ugli said to Wang Meng, that is, one Roman citizen can defeat three Persians...the words that one hundred Roman citizens can be worth two thousand Persians, it was no accident that it spread to Ecuador In the ears of Gutai Bahram and other Persians.

The so-called Roman citizens are professional warriors. They will learn various martial arts from an early age, and when they grow up, they will learn how to cooperate with their companions in combat.Because Rome has a small population base, a large number of citizens will be recruited into the army in every war. It can be said that the vast majority of Roman citizens have experience on the battlefield.

In contrast, whether in Persia during the Parthian Empire or the Sasanian Dynasty, the social system really did not have professional soldiers. The slightly elite troops were just armed and trained, unlike Roman citizens who would Teach your children how to fight.

Rome's civil system is to learn how to kill people from an early age. The Persians on the other side are not the same thing. Professional warriors fight with ordinary people. To be honest, Roman citizens can really easily stand up to three Persians.

The war between the Romans and the Persians almost never stopped, and the Persians were usually on the weaker side.But the fact is one thing, and it sounds like another thing. Not only will the Persians not admit that they are weaker than the Romans, they will also get angry when they hear similar remarks.

There are only 3000 Persian troops in the Pingman Captain's Department. Even if Urgutai Bahram represents Persia to a certain extent, he is still not qualified to participate in the formulation of combat plans by the high-level Han army.They set off to the front line after being notified. Whether it was intentional or what happened, the Romans were arranged to march on the same route as them.

Huan Wen didn't have any special ideas about the Romans participating in the war. Since the Persians could join in, it didn't matter if there were more Romans.

In fact, there are tens of thousands of people fighting fiercely between the two armies. If thousands of people fill it in, there will be no splash at all. Huan Wen will not refuse because one more person may consume more energy and arrows from the enemy. The friendly troops who bring their own dry food are those foreigners who don't want to pry into military secrets.

For more than two years, the Pingman Captain's Department continued to develop inland, not only opened up production areas, but also did not stop the construction of roads, but the defense depth of the subsequent expansion was shorter, and most of the Maintaining the original appearance, the road has not been repaired very well.

In such an area where plants grow extremely fast, plants are the only things that can be seen. Although the army's road to the front line has been cleared repeatedly, there are still weeds and some plant roots in the soil. There are simply forests on both sides of the road. It is equivalent to the team marching on a road opened in the forest.

About 500 of the Persians brought by Urgutai Bahram wore metal armor, a style in which the armor plate was pierced and inlaid with leather with ropes. The difference from the armor of Zhuxia was that the armor plate aspect.

For Zhu Xia's armor, due to the relationship between smelting technology and forging technology, it was actually impossible to make each piece of nails the same size for a long time, which resulted in the appearance of different sizes of nails.

The Persians have absorbed nutrients from the West in smelting technology and forging technology, as well as quite a lot of technology and ideas from Asan. They have mastered good smelting and forging technology as early as the Parthian Empire. The Tia Empire armor and riding equipment can make each piece of the armor the same size.

Whether it was during the Parthian Empire or the Sasanian Dynasty, the Persians have not changed much in terms of armor manufacturing. The inside is not only leather but also cloth, and the outer armor pieces are strictly arranged in columns and specifications. It looks like A piece of armor is arranged in rows, and the whole is round.

Anyone who can wear metal armor is considered a soldier no matter which civilization they are in, and a soldier is the backbone and elite of every regime.No one knows how many soldiers there are in Persian Sassanid. To be able to send [-] soldiers to the Pingman school lieutenant to help in the battle is not only to show sincerity, but also to have a mentality of "I'm not fake at all".

Don't think that the [-] Persians led by Urgutai Bahram were all soldiers. Apart from the [-] soldiers, there were [-] warriors, and the rest were servants who could not fight. distinguished.

There are armored soldiers with full metal armor, and there are warriors who wear at least leather armor, and they all use spears as their main weapons.A soldier will have a small round shield holding a spear, and a sheathed sword across his waist.A warrior in leather armor holds a spear, and at the same time, there is a weapon about the same length as a dagger at his waist.Most of the servants did not carry weapons, and there were no traces of what soldiers should have in their clothes, they were purely civilians.

The Roman troops walking behind the Persians looked very brightly dressed. Even the most common warriors had a set of hard leather armor full of Roman characteristics, while those wearing metal armor were matched with layers of metal plates. A, the most coquettish thing is that every Roman has a red cape, and some officers who lead the team even have a whole row of shiny red hairs on their helmets.

The Romans are also a nation that is very good at using spears. Looking at the Roman troops marching in line, one side is holding a square shield and the other is holding a short spear. In the middle is Marius Ugli riding a majestic horse. The front and rear are a row of Roman soldiers holding shields and swords at their waists, and a little ahead and behind are Roman soldiers with swords at their waists but with boxes full of javelins behind them.

Han people think that the Romans are more worthy of closeness, because the hair and eye color of the Romans are similar to those of the Han people, and the Romans, like the contemporary Han people, admire red very much.

Look at the Roman troops on the march. Not only are their cloaks red, but their underwear and skirts are also red, and they even have a red scarf around their necks.

Looking at the Han army again, what kind of armor is there? In addition, except for the armor and trousers, it is all red, and even the cloak behind some generals is also red.

If we look at the overall marching arrangement, only the Persians did not arrange shield soldiers on both sides. For example, the Han army and Roman troops arranged shield soldiers on both sides. From this, we can also see whether there is a rich jungle march. experience.

When marching in the woods, basically don't expect to be able to deploy the troops, you can only take the formation of a long snake.This kind of marching formation has always been the easiest to be cut off, so arranging soldiers with shields on both sides, in fact, even if marching in the woods in the area controlled by one's own side, no one can guarantee that they will not be attacked by surprise. The shield soldiers on both sides should form a shield wall, which is not only the defense against long-range attacks in the forest, but also the key to stabilizing the position.

It’s not the fault of the Persians. Although there are forest areas in the area they live in, most of the areas are still mainly developed, and then there are mostly Gobi and deserts. Unlike the Romans who often had to work in central Europe, eastern Europe and Britain. Fighting in the woods.The Han army has experience in jungle warfare. There are enough dense forests in the south of the country, and it has accumulated enough lessons from marching into Indochina.

Huan Wen had already ordered the navy to attack. Although it was necessary to fight a defensive battle on land, it did not mean waiting for the enemy to attack. It was very necessary to take the initiative to attack.

Under the needs of the overall situation, Si Hongzhuang was ordered to lead the army to attack. The vanguard had already gone out of the defense depth, and the furthest ones were within five miles of the coalition camp. The two sides had already been fighting fiercely.

The Persians and Romans, including the follow-up Han army, are now following the road opened by the vanguard, and they have actually entered the war zone.

"It is very necessary for us to learn from the Han people..." Urgutai Bahram was also riding a horse, but the horses came from the Han army, unlike Marius Ugli who brought his mount over.He looked at the dense forests on both sides of the road, and he could see them clearly if they were closer. If they were a little deeper, they were either blocked by many overlapping tree trunks, or the forest was too dense and appeared pitch black: "Be careful of sudden enemy attacks."

I don't know if it was Urgutai Bahram's crow's mouth or what, but almost as soon as he finished speaking, a whistle sounded in the woods.

The whistle was blown by the Han army. It was because the Han army had already set up guard posts in the forest around the road. Their role was not to block or anything, but purely as a warning.

Not long after, Urgutai Bahram saw Han soldiers running out of the woods in twos and threes. When he was still a little dazed, two bursts of bugles were issued one after another.

The Han army blew the horn, and it sounded very strong.

Someone in the Roman army picked up a trumpet and played it, and the sound was a bit crisp.

Also at the same time, both sides of the Han army and the Roman army were already organizing shield walls in sections. What is more amazing is that both the Han and the Romans erected spears immediately after organizing the shield walls, causing both sides to see Like a hedgehog.

Urgutai Bahram, who came back to his senses, yelled loudly, ordered the soldiers to form a shield wall, and ordered the rest of the soldiers to cooperate with the soldiers.He was not foolishly still riding on the horseback as a target, he quickly jumped off the horseback and drew out the scimitar at his waist, staring at the forest that kept roaring in disorder.

Of course, those running out of the forest were the sentry personnel who had been arranged in advance, and some of them were even wearing ribbons.It's not that they ran away from their posts because they were afraid of death, it was because they had been instructed in advance. When faced with the few enemies that could be dealt with, of course they would sound the alarm and fight with them at the same time. But when there were too many enemies to deal with, they would naturally retreat to protect themselves.

"The quantity is difficult to estimate?"

Cheng Shuo was the immediate commander of this force. He led 5000 people from his headquarters and the Persian and Roman troops to the front.He frowned and looked at a village chief who reported, but he didn't blame him.

That's a forest area, not to mention the trees everywhere, and all kinds of plants, it's not a place with a wide field of vision. It would be strange if the number of enemy troops could be easily seen visually in this terrain.

The chaotic shouting in the forest was very loud, not only on one side, but also on both sides of the road, so Cheng Shuo had to wonder if there was any trouble at the front line, or else it was still several miles away from the battle zone, and the enemy army How come there is a large force infiltrated?
Arrows and weird things have already started to be shot or thrown from the forest. The shield wall keeps making clashing noises. The Han army did not counterattack. The Romans were also very calm. Even the Persians who hurriedly organized defense had no impulse , The troops who arranged the defense in sections were so silent.

Perhaps it was the passive silence that encouraged the enemy army. The first enemy army howled and rushed out of the forest to the Persians who looked easier to bully, and then a large group of enemy troops rushed out of the forest.

The Persians are indeed easier to bully. The small round shield has worked hard to arrange the shield wall, but it is not as easy to pile up on the wall as the square shield of Rome and the tower shield of the Han army. Cold arrows and outlandish gadgets have achieved certain results against the Persians.

Furthermore, there were thousands of unarmed servants in the Persian team, and those servants disrupted Urgutai Bahram's defense to a great extent.Compared with the tight defense of the Han army and the Roman army, don't the Persians look easy to bully?

Cheng Shuo found that many areas of the long snake's team were attacked, and he could probably judge the number of enemy troops, anyway, it must be much larger than their team.Seeing that the Persians were the first to enter hand-to-hand combat, he had no intention of ordering troops to support him. Instead, he calmly continued to observe the enemy's next move.

The Romans next to the Persians simply laughed out loud when they saw the Persians in a panic, but there were Romans who threw javelins at the enemy who bullied the Persians from time to time.

The Romans laughed at it, but their military quality is not bad.The Romans conquered too many nations. One moment they were enemies and the next moment they were allies. Although there is no such idiom as "the lips are dead and the teeth are cold", there are still related concepts. It is clear that once the Persians are finished, they will not feel better. .

Urgutai Bahram saw that the Romans supported their own side. Although it was a support method such as throwing javelins that might accidentally injure them, the shame in his heart broke out.

"Counterattack!" Urgutai Bahram slashed to death an enemy soldier who was blindly rushing towards him, ignoring the blood splashed on his face, without even wiping it off, he roared ferociously: "The Romans will fight back!" Watch from the side! Fight back! Fight back! Fight back!”

The Romans can be said to be a "G-spot" of the Persians. It doesn't matter if anyone looks down on them, but you can't let the Romans look down on it. After disbanding the shield formation and stepping forward, the rest of them rushed towards the nearest enemy army with red eyes and started a fierce fight.

When Marius Ugli saw what the Persians did, the corners of his mouth twitched. What kind of mentality did the Persians have? As a hostile nation that has been at war for hundreds of years, how can they not be clear? If you stand on the side of the strong, you will feel that the behavior of the other side very funny.He turned his head to look at the "main flag" on the side of the Han army. The Han army was still maintaining its defense very steadily, only using long-range weapons to reflect.

"Wouldn't the Sires be consuming the Persians on purpose?"

"No reason?"

To be honest, Marius Ugli didn't understand what the Han army meant.
