Conquering Rome was not an easy task.

Because Rome in this era had a population of more than 5000 million, and through the accumulation of the Five Wise Emperors, Rome's heritage was not much worse than that of the great Han Dynasty.

The Chinese Empire and the Roman Empire collided, and the Chinese Empire might gain the upper hand in a short period of time.

But until the end of the war, it will definitely be a protracted tug-of-war.

The Chinese Empire's expedition was very difficult in terms of logistical supplies and personnel supplies.

In this way, the Chinese army will most likely be defeated in the end.

Fortunately, Wei Chu did not underestimate the Roman Empire, and he decisively won over Kushan and Anxi.

With Kushan and An'an taking the lead, not only can the casualties of the Chinese army be greatly reduced, but with Kushan and An'an providing supplies to the Chinese army, it can also reduce a lot of troubles for the Chinese army.

"Our Parthian Empire once fought against the Roman Empire. Their infantry was very powerful. They lined up in dense square formations and carried very long spears. As soon as our cavalry rushed in front of them, the spears could connect people and horses. Pierce together.”

After hearing what Vorogasis V said, Lu Bu asked with a hint of curiosity: "Don't your cavalry know how to roam and shoot arrows? They are lined up in a dense formation and should be the best arrow targets."

"Wandering and shooting arrows?"

Vorogasis V glanced at Lu Bu, shook his head and said, "We are cavalry. Only by constantly charging can the cavalry fully unleash its power."

"Besides, it's not easy to shoot arrows from a horse. Our soldiers haven't mastered this skill yet."

Lu Bu stretched out his hand and scratched his head, and then asked: "The cavalry is fast, you can also sneak attack the enemy's baggage and food. Launch an attack on the enemy's scattered soldiers."

Vorogasis V waved his hand towards Lu Bu again.

"You put it lightly, attacking the enemy's baggage and grain is not an easy task. First of all, we don't know the enemy's transportation route. Secondly, the enemy attaches great importance to their baggage and grain, and they often send heavy troops to escort them. Your own baggage.”

"It is not easy to train our Parthian cavalry. If you exchange one Parthian cavalry for one Roman soldier, you will lose money. If you exchange two Roman soldiers, you can barely save your capital. If you exchange three Roman soldiers, you can make a small profit. Use the lives of our Parthian soldiers to exchange the lives of the enemy. Cans of grain, this is a huge loss.”

After listening to what Vorogasis V said, Lu Bu and the others looked at each other involuntarily.

By this time, everyone knew that there was something wrong with the way the Parthians used their troops.

Although the Parthian Empire was a traditional cavalry power.

However, the Parthian Empire's use of cavalry was still limited to large corps operations.

It’s no wonder that in history, the Northern Huns and Mongolian armies could easily crush the Parthians.

Wei Chu waved to Lu Bu and others, and then said, "You continue."

Vorogasis V nodded at Lin Chu, and then continued: "The Romans were also good at using catapults and bed crossbows. The crossbow arrows fired by their bed crossbows could even penetrate the bodies of war horses."

"In addition, the Romans would also use a black liquid. This black liquid looks viscous, but it can be ignited, and after it is ignited, it is difficult to put it out."

Wei Chu knew that the black viscous liquid that Vorogasis V talked about should be the asphalt collected by the Romans.

Asphalt was already widely used when Rome was fighting Spartacus's slave rebels.

"Our Parthian Empire borders Roman Armenia, Syria and Egypt. Armenia is considered a protectorate of Rome, and Syria and Egypt have been conquered by the Romans for 200 years."

"In order to suppress the uprisings in Syria and Egypt, the Romans built fortresses and fortresses everywhere in Syria and Egypt."

"The Romans could hide in fortresses and fortresses to defend themselves against the enemy. They fired arrows from a high position, and our cavalry had absolutely nothing to do against them."

"And the climate in Syria and Egypt is completely different from your climate in China. I'm worried that you will become acclimatized."

Wei Chu frowned slightly after hearing these words from Volugasis V.

Wei Chu knew that in Rome in this era, slave owners and nobles liked to build castles, using castles that were easy to defend and difficult to attack to protect their wealth.

If the Chinese army invades Rome.

The large number of castles is indeed a big trouble.

"The most troublesome thing is that we are at war with Rome. If we want to completely occupy Rome, we still need to cross a strait. The Romans used a large number of slaves to build many defense facilities along the strait. It is difficult to cross the strait. It’s like ascending to heaven.”

The strait Vologasis V talked about should be the Turkish Strait between the Aegean Sea and the Black Sea.

In this era, it is indeed very difficult to fight across the sea.

When Vorogasis V said this, he quietly raised his head and took a look at Wei Chu.

Seeing that Wei Chu lowered his head and fell into deep thought, Vorogasis V quickly continued: "Your Majesty, the territories of the Chinese Empire and the Roman Empire are far apart. I think the best between the Chinese Empire and the Roman Empire is The way to get along is not to annex, but to form alliances and open trade routes with each other.”

The reason why Vologasis V persuaded Wei Chu in this way was not because Vologasis V was really thinking about the Chinese Empire. But Vorogasis V was a little worried that if China and Rome fought, China would sacrifice the Parthian Empire first.

In addition, if the Chinese Empire and Rome trade with each other. Goods from both empires passed through Parthia. This can also help you rest in peace and get a lot of extra tax revenue.

After hearing the words of Vologasis V, Wei Chu shook his head gently and said: "According to my understanding of Rome, Rome is aggressive. Rome is at its weakest now. If we don't seize the opportunity to take advantage of it, Go to Rome, in the near future, Rome will definitely become a major problem for the Chinese Empire."

Wei Chu insisted on attacking Rome.

First, because Rome is now weak, it is the best time to attack Rome.

Occupying Rome can establish China's status in one fell swoop.

Let China not have to worry about being invaded by foreign nations for at least hundreds of years in the future.

Looting the wealth of Rome can also help China completely get rid of poverty.

The second is because China successfully occupied Kushan and Anxi.

Attacking Rome now can take advantage of war to consume the power of Rome, Kushan and Parthia.

Third, Wei Chu, as a time traveler, naturally hopes to help China expand its territory and establish unparalleled achievements.

"Rome must be defeated, but how to defeat it still needs to be studied."
