Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The war between Parthia and Rome turned into a complete trap after Li Jue joined the army. Rome had become accustomed to adapting to local conditions and did not expect any other country to help Parthia. The only estimated possible Hun cavalry did not show up, and the result was unexpected  Other troops came.

    The current equipment of Rome is all for fighting light cavalry. To be precise, their current military system can basically disgust most light cavalry to death, including elite light cavalry such as Baima Yicong.

    However, Rome is not here to fight with heavy cavalry this time. If they had known that there would be such super capable cavalry to join the war, they would definitely bring Teutonic ax throwers and phalanx shield grabbers.  , temporarily reject these things.

    Unfortunately, the Roman Parliament has repeatedly confirmed that it is basically impossible for anyone to come to help An An. The most likely reason is that the Huns are here again. However, the Huns usually come to paddle and cannot risk their lives, so there is no need to worry too much. Just beat An An to death.  The Huns will leave on their own, be damned.

    "General, after analysis by people on our side, the cavalry that defied our attack before should be heavy cavalry, and it is the heavy cavalry at the parliamentary guard level." Gathering the broken soldiers, the Romans retreated far away, confirming  Set up camp when it¡¯s safe.

    "Where did this heavy cavalry come from? Don't tell me that those guys in Anxi who have not been civilized for a hundred years will suddenly wake up?" Ganassis himself didn't believe this. The military system of Anxi has not changed in a hundred years.  The light cavalry cavalry and archery that beat Rome to pieces were added to the organic archers. Now the Romans are superior to their masters and have not replaced them.

    "According to our guess, these are not Parthian cavalry, and their language is not a language we are familiar with." The young tribune told Ganassis, the legion commander, what they had guessed based on all the battle situations.

    Ganassis had a headache. Although there were unexpected reasons and being flanked, the combat effectiveness and momentum shown by the Xiliang cavalry showed that they were an elite force.

    "Heavy cavalry at the level of the Parliamentary Guards." Ganassis was silent for a while and said, "There are not many regiments in the empire that can deal with this kind of troops. We need to know more about this cavalry of unknown origin."

    "Camp Commander, what do you want to say?" Ganassis suddenly saw the camp commander who wanted to speak and asked.

    "This should be the Han army. We all know that there is an empire to the east of Anxi. It is said to be a very powerful empire called Han. The Huns Empire was defeated by the Han Empire. Compared with the Huns' combat power" This world is different.  There is an airtight force. Just as Li You and others were able to tell the story of peace and greet the Han envoys, there were also people in Rome who had an impression of the Han Empire.

    "The Han Empire?" Only one person in the tent had heard of it, and everyone else was confused.

    "A powerful and wealthy empire. The silk we wear and the porcelain we use come from that empire, not Wusun, the king from the far east who once had some dealings with us." The camp director thought for a moment and said.  .

    "Silk, porcelain?" All the Roman generals became excited. This was an extremely precious treasure in their country.

    "Let us conquer that empire. The invincible Roman parliamentary guards, the powerful Teutonic ax throwers, and our slings, heavy infantry, and archers can defeat any country!" The tribunes were appointed by the nobles.  The gilder's eyes reflected golden light when he heard this. There was no way that silk was more expensive than gold in Rome.

    "Haha." The camp leader was not appointed by the nobles. He climbed up by his own strength. Hearing the words of the descendant of the nobles, he smiled mockingly.

    "Usna Faso, tell me everything else you know." Legion Commander Ganassis is completely different from the guys among the tribunes who have never seen the market. He knows very well the country that can be named the Empire.  What kind of strength does it have.

    Even the Empire of Parthia, which has been completely dragged into the pit by Rome, has been a hundred years since the war began. Although Parthia is destined to die or live, it still exists on this continent, even with the long transportation lines of Rome.  The reason, but it can also be seen from this point that wars between empires basically last for several generations before the results can be seen.

    As for the Han Empire that was farther away, Ganassis knew very well that even if Rome wanted to fight, it wouldn't be able to fight it. Similarly, Rome was not afraid of the Han Empire. The long supply line allowed both sides to fight only a small army of about 50,000 people.  Scale battle.

    For this kind of super empire that stands at the pinnacle of the times, Ganassis, who is second only to the consul and the commander of the army, knows very well that if the supply problem cannot be solved, it will be useless even if you win.

    This is also the reason why Rome has attacked the Parthian royal city of Ctesiphon several times, but Parthia has never been destroyed. The supply line is too long. If Parthia is on the edge of the Mediterranean, Rome will definitely teach Parthia how to behave.

      "Legion Commander, I don't know much about this aspect." Usna Faso said with a wry smile. He also read this in a book, and then told what he knew about the situation.

    "A country thousands of miles away, with nearly ten million people, can afford silk and porcelain." Ganassis repeated these sentences. Although he knew there must be moisture in it, it was still scary to think about it.

    "There is no other way. It seems that we can only stop here this time. We will withdraw to Mesopotamia and end the war with Parthia. Next time we will be ready to fight again." Ganassis  As a legion commander, and a noble nobleman who might be promoted to the rank of commander-in-chief, it is better to seek stability than to seek death at this time.

    What's more, Ganassis could see at a glance that with his current troop configuration, there was no way he could defeat the cavalry that might be the Han Empire.

    Although Ganassis knew very well that as long as they put up a military formation, it would be difficult for the opponent to do what they did last time, but even the cavalry could shoot arrows. If they shot arrows against their rain of arrows, even if they formed a formation, they would be dragged down and their morale would be completely lost.  of.

    In Ganassis' view, the purpose of the cavalry, which ignores long-range attacks, is not to fight. Although the attacks are very sharp, they are not unstoppable. Their Roman armored infantry can be killed as long as three of them form a formation.  one.

    Although this is nothing to brag about, the opponent's cavalry only numbers in the thousands. As long as they are determined to fill up a camp of heavy infantry, they can cripple the opponent. After that, even without a battalion of heavy infantry, they can also defeat Anxi.  Press and hit.

    It's a pity that Ganassis knows that there can't be any luck on the battlefield. This is the secret of his position as the commander of the army. He can think of shooting against the rain of arrows, killing only a few archers every day, and the Han cavalry retreats completely.  It won't take long for them to lose their morale.
