The Three Kingdoms

What kind of weapon is this?

Every soldier has some fears.

The questions these soldiers are thinking are also the questions that the leader of the legion, Maximinus, is thinking about today.

With a gloomy face, he stood alone on a hill, staring at the reputation above the night sky, his pupils were cold: "These Orientals seem to have mastered a terrible weapon, if they use this weapon recklessly in the future How terrifying it would be to use it on the battlefield!"

The army of the Roman Empire was very powerful, the most prosperous in the past few hundred years.

Today's Roman Empire has a total of seven main legions.

Septimius Severus, the emperor who was born in Africa, raised troops in the name of a provincial governor, and finally relied on the powerful army in his hand to force the Imperial Senate to bow its head and let him sit on the throne of Roman Emperor s position.

But Severus knew very well in his heart that he had no foundation in the Roman Empire, and the only thing he could rely on was military power.

He is a man above military power.

He was cruel and cruel to his political opponents, but he loved his generals very much. After he took the position of Roman Emperor, he expanded the army three times and spent most of the empire's finances on military expenses.

Today, the combined strength of the seven Roman legions has exceeded one million.

Although the population of Rome is not inferior to that of the Central Plains, for the Roman Empire with a somewhat chaotic economy, the number of troops is a heavy load.

But Severus insisted that only a strong military power could allow him to lead Rome to its peak.

Among the seven legions of Rome, apart from the Guards corps commanded by Roman Emperor Severus himself, the most powerful one is the Iron-Blooded Legion led by Maximinus.

Maximinus' full name is Gaius Julius Vilus Maximinus.

He was also of lowly barbarian origin.

The Roman Empire also fought south and north, and the integration of multiple races made it the overlord of the West. The barbarians marked in the empire actually have the same meaning as the barbarians in the Central Plains.

They are basically a race that has been left out of its self-proclaimed orthodoxy.

Maximinus, who was brave and good at fighting since he was a child, joined the Roman army when Severus just became the governor of your Pannoa province, followed Severus around, and has been fighting south and north with Severus. A small leader of five, then a leader of ten, a commander of a centurion, a commander of a thousand, a commander of ten thousand, and finally became the chief general of an iron-blooded army.

In just a dozen years, Severus, relying on the strength of a province, gradually expanded, and was able to unify the chaotic Roman Empire, where the princes rose together. Maximinus played an important role in the battle. .

He is one of Severus' most trusted generals, and the most trusted general of Severus' eldest son, Caracalla.

He once fought across the Roman battlefield, won more victories than lost, and was ranked among the top three generals of the Roman Empire. He is proud, and for him, although he successfully ambushed the Eastern army in this battle, he did not. To achieve the expected results, but hit a lose-lose.

This made him very dissatisfied and unwilling.

At the same time, the weird weapons used by the Easterners on the battlefield also made me a little frightened. When the warships exploded, they took away nearly a thousand of his soldiers in a short period of time. life.

Thinking about him shuddered a little.

"My lord general, are we going to retreat to Seleucia like this?"

A few ten thousand commanders came up and said unwillingly.

"In this battle, our casualties are too great!"

Although Maximinus was not reconciled, he was never impulsive. He said calmly: "Now we must retreat and let the Jagged Legion rest before fighting again, otherwise we will lose our battle against Mesopotamia." The control of the province, when we stabilize the Mesopotamian province in the future, we still have a chance to fight!"

The main force of the Roman Legion has returned to the Roman Empire with Severus, and the Mesopotamian province that came from the Parthian Empire and the Great Wu Empire of the East is only suppressed by the Iron Blood Legion.

In this newly established province, there are still many contradictions. The Parthians who have lived here for hundreds of years are very hostile to the Romans.

If the Iron Blood Legion suffers a serious setback at this time, they will lose their deterrent power to the Mesopotamian province. If they have not yet won the hearts of the people, if they lose their deterrent power, not to mention that the cities have already stood up Even the ordinary Parthians below will rebel.

"Have a good night's rest. Tomorrow the whole army will leave camp and return to Seleucia!" Maximinus gritted his teeth and shouted coldly.

"Yes!"

After hearing the words, even if the ten thousand elders were unwilling, they could only nod their heads and accept the order now.

On the midsummer sky, the moon is bright and the stars are dotted with stars, and the night becomes more and more quiet. Time is passing by bit by bit, and the only sound in the huge military camp is the heavy footsteps of patrolling soldiers and the sound of snoring.

At dawn, it was about to dawn, and it was the darkest moment of the sky. An army that had been on a long-distance raid overnight had quietly approached the Roman army's camp step by step.

After half an hour.

Boom boom boom...

On the plain, a cloud of flaming mushrooms rose up. These black powder bombs produced by Wu's excellence were extremely lethal. In a short moment, the entire camp was blown up and the earth was shaken, covered in flames.

At this moment, all the stocks of the Sea Eagle Legion were poured into it, bursting out with a destructive force and a powerful shock force beyond this era, destroying the fighting spirit of the Roman soldiers in a short time.

"Help!"

"God, what's going on here?"

"Lord, why abandon your faithful believers!"

"Ah~~~~~~"

A series of horrific shouts continued to resound in the camp, and one by one the Roman soldiers woke up from their sleep, as if they were in an endless hell.

"It's an Oriental!"

Maximinus ran out of the tent in a hurry. He saw that the camp had been reduced to a sea of ​​flames, and there were panicked soldiers everywhere. His face paled instantly: "Damn it, the Orientals actually turned around!"

"Boys, when it comes to our shame, for the honor of our Haiying, for the honor of our Great Wu Navy, follow me to kill!"

Like a poisonous snake in the darkness, Zhou Tai aimed at the right time, opened his fangs, and personally led more than ten thousand elite soldiers. At the most chaotic time, he rushed out in one fell swoop and defeated the formation of the Roman army head-on.

"kill!"

"kill!"

Tens of thousands of elite soldiers of the Wu army, facing the chaotic tens of thousands of Roman troops, rushed out like tens of thousands of tigers and wolves, and the spears in their hands were harvesting the lives of every Roman soldier.

The one-sided bloody battle is being staged mercilessly.

……

The Persian Gulf enters the inland river entrance, and the connection between the river and the sea has a great impact of the river. Amidst the ups and downs, warships sailed in orderly one after another.

"The latest battle report!"

In the cabin of the building boat, the corners of Lu Meng's mouth were cracked, and the corners of his mouth were raised slightly, revealing a smile, but his smile was obviously a bit bitter: "The commander first lost a battle, suffered a big loss, and then killed a carbine gun , won a big victory, each had casualties, and the casualties of the Sea Eagle Legion were unprecedented. Among the provinces of Mesopotamia!"

"Commander Zhou Tai was a bit aggressive before, so he was ambushed by the Roman army using the terrain, but it's good to shoot him back later!"

Chen Gong looked at the battle report above: "[-] Roman soldiers were annihilated in one battle, and a Roman legion was maimed. Although there was no Roman leader left behind, the Roman army should also stop for a while, unless their empire The internal reinforcements are here, otherwise they dare not go out of the Mesopotamian province, so we have enough time to take down the Parthian Empire!"
