Rest on this side, it's not that the border counties in the eastern part of Rome haven't received the news, but the current situation in Rome is a bit bad. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

The Duke of Border County in this area, the Duke of Ganassis who fought with Li Wei, was the first to recognize the threat of the Han Empire, and the first Duke of Border County to personally go to Rome to support Severus as Roman Emperor.

No matter what Ganassis thought at the beginning, as the first Duke of the border county to go to Rome to support Severus, he was given enough impression points.

Severus, who came from North Africa at the beginning, did not have many supporters except for his own army, and as a border duke with military and political power, standing up for him was of great significance to him to stabilize the situation in Rome.

It is precisely because of this move that Ganassis avoided becoming the chicken that Severus kills and sets an example for, but is considered by Severus to be a trusted supporter, and as the first person, Garnasis is naturally considered to be Severus's hardcore.

It is precisely for this reason that when Severus swept away the northern barbarians, it was inevitable to take Ganassis with him.

That is to say, the current ruler of the eastern Roman provinces, involving Mesopotamia, Syria, Kari and other places, is not in his territory, and he is now accompanying his emperor in England and the barbarians, so this region is a little slow to react.

However, sluggishness is sluggishness, but it is not so bad that without the commander of the Duke of the border county, the commanders of the main defense will have problems in their brains.

In fact, after Ganassis left, the leaders of the three Eagle Banner Legions stationed in the eastern part of Rome were even more cautious, and after gaining a resting situation, on the one hand, they sent people to deliver a message to the Roman Council, and on the other hand, they actively deployed defenses, and the province was embarrassed when their own boss was not there.

Therefore, long before the rest of the attack, these Romans had already begun to mobilize hard, and for many years they understood the way the Rest fought very well, so even if Ganassis was not there, the various legions under the leadership of the legion commander steadily built their own defenses.

Of course, at the beginning, when the Roman side received the rest of the move, whether it was defensive, or the first strike, there was some confusion on the Roman side.

After all, in the eastern border counties of Rome, there are a total of eight integrated legions under the rule of Ganassis, of course, there are only three Eagle Banner Legions, and the other five are barbarians, although these barbarians are very capable of fighting, but relatively speaking, the Eagle Banner Legion composed of pure Roman citizens is more capable of fighting.

Coupled with the power of the Roman citizens themselves, it was said that the eight legionnaires were discussing the matter of the change in rest, but in reality there were only three people who were really discussed, and in the same way, the so-called defense or attack broke out between these three people.

A man named Marcus on the Roman side? Olelius? After receiving the information of the rest of the army, the commander of Gilia immediately summoned all the commanders, and it was he who immediately proposed the plan of attacking first.

In fact, the important thing is not to put forward a plan, but to put forward a plan, but to put forward a very executive proposal.

After gathering everyone, this guy directly suggested gathering all the troops, transferring the defense of various cities, with three Eagle Banner Corps as the core, five barbarian armies as auxiliaries, plus a large number of auxiliaries, and directly attacking the Parthian hinterland from Armenia - Medes and Ctesiphon!

Attacking instead of defending, forcing Anxibor to give up the plan of attacking Mesopotamia, putting the battlefield directly in the most prosperous place of Anxib, restraining the destructive power of the opponent's army, not seeking victory, only wanting to drag the Anxiban army, and waiting for the rear army to arrive, directly attack Ctesiphon, and force the Anxiphon army to fight a decisive battle with their Romans.

Of course, this proposal was rejected by the other two army commanders, Gilia was too young, although he was born into a royal family, and was naturally sensitive to war, but he was too far behind in seniority, and such a proposal was quite a bit of a desperate gambler.

Although the three captains of the barbarians thought this was a very good proposal, it was clear that the Roman structure was laid out, and the Eagle Banner Legion was much higher than the other legions, and naturally Gilia lost its meaning even if there were many reasons.

Naturally, after such a frenzied proposal was rejected, the three army commanders planned to join forces and garrison Mesopotamia.

Of course, the first garrison was placed east of the Tigris River at the strong request of Gillya, and after Gilia's first proposal was rejected, the two army commanders decided to listen to his second proposal after some consideration.

After all, the identity of the other party is too hard, and it is the Thirteen Eagle Banner Legion that he masters, and his ability is really good, if the two legion commanders are not willing to offend this guy if they are not for the sake of the overall situation, even if they are big nobles, they are very frightened when they encounter this kind of backstage that is too hard.

Of course, despite the second proposal of Gilia, the other two commanders also built a camp in the middle of the Euphrates and Tigris rivers.

After all, compared to the young and vigorous Gilia, who wanted to meet the resting head-on, these two experienced legion commanders still decided to conduct the first test east of the Tigris River first.

If it goes well, then in the first battle, it is not impossible to defeat the opponent's vanguard with a tough attack, boost our morale, and severely defeat the enemy, and then directly calm the army and attack it head-on, but who can say for sure that there is such a thing as war.

It was not only the Chinese who did not count the victory and the first defeat, but many good and experienced generals did this, so both army commanders decided to build a regular camp between the Euphrates and Tigris rivers.

Although doing so may result in the loss of fighters in the event of a big victory, these two are past that age compared to Gilia, who needs merit to forge their prestige, and they know very well what their most important role is.

In fact, if you really have to follow Gilia's proposal, maybe you can take it by surprise.

Of course, that refers to normal circumstances, but this time the situation is completely abnormal, even if Gillia convinces everyone and really leads his troops to Armenia, he will inevitably run into Vologis V, who led seven internal qi detachments and eight elite legions.

The Romans didn't know how much of a bargaining chip the Sabbatarians had bet this time, although Vologis V had a lot of problems, but there was still no shortage of courage, and if Gilia went to Armenia, it would be absolutely difficult for the two sides to distinguish the winner in a short time.

With the will of Vologis V, he would never let this group of Romans retreat, nor would he care about the life or death of the Armenian king, biting the Roman legions to the death, so that they had no chance to retreat.

And once this happens, the eastern part of Rome is afraid that most of it will fall, and the long-running army of Sabbath will definitely do everything that Rome did in Ctesiphon back then, and to that extent, even if Gillia does not die, it will not escape the judgment of the Roman Council.

In this way, under the orders of Dilina, the commander of the fifteenth eagle banner, Benito, the commander of the fourteenth eagle banner, and the commander of the thirteenth eagle banner, Gilia, the legions stationed in eastern Rome began to slowly advance eastward, and had advanced their lines east of the two rivers before they could rest in peace.

At present, there are a total of twenty-four eagle banner legions in Rome, and the seventeenth, eighteenth, and nineteenth have not been rebuilt since they were all destroyed, and the banner has been directly canceled.

Among these twenty-four legions, the combat effectiveness of the former Three Eagle Banner Legions is very fierce, and the combat effectiveness is equivalent to that of the Super Elite Legion without the Eagle Banner, but now it has been brought to England by Severus with two Army Spirit Legions to fight the barbarians.

After all, he was ruthlessly disgraced by the three major barbarians in Europe not long ago, if it weren't for the caution of the guard officer, maybe he would have lost another Eagle Banner that time, so Severus, who was forced to be anxious, went directly to the Army Soul Legion and the four super elite legions.

Generally speaking, the three Eagle Banner Legions and the Army Soul Legion are not lightly moved, and only the legions after the Fourth Eagle Banner are used normally, and a few of these legions are very capable of fighting.

The Fifth Eagle Banner Legion is not inferior in combat effectiveness to the first three legions, the legion once commanded by Anthony of the last three, the Ninth Eagle Banner Legion, the legion once commanded by Augustus of the last three giants, the thirteenth Eagle Banner Legion, and the legion once commanded by Caesar.

These three legions are also very capable of fighting, and their combat effectiveness is not inferior to the first three legions, and they are basically all born in the same period, after the recovery of the essence of heaven and earth, these three legions have almost reached the level of double talent super elite at the same time as the former Three Eagle Banner Legions.

This is also one of the important reasons why Gilia led the 13th Eagle Banner Legion, his family was born to the Roman emperor, his ancestor Lucius? Olelius? Cota was Caesar's maternal grandfather, and this legion was an important supporter of their clan.

"Rome's reaction was very fast, and they actually occupied the advantageous terrain one step ahead of us." Lü Meng looked at the Roman garrison on the map and was amazed.

"There is no good way to rest in peace, after all, this place itself is occupied by Rome, and we cannot be as casual as Rome." Zhuge Liang sighed and said, the other party itself has an advantage.

"Hey, why don't we try to tempt." Li Dao was eager to try, Guo Yan and Fan Chou were also like this, they hadn't done it properly for a long time, and they wanted to rub their hands when they saw the enemy inexplicably.

"No, let's not be tempted, although the terrain of the Romans is good, it is not the best terrain, and it is more of a test to come to the other party." Zhuge Liang directly rejected Li Dao's proposal, which was a judgment made by a group of people like them, and there was basically no possibility of error.

Since they are here to test, and they are putting on such a large scale to test, and more importantly, the camp is not so cautious, Zhuge Liang and the others have basically determined that those guys are not so much a temptation, but rather want to fight to see if there is a bargain.

Even Zhuge Liang and the others have now sent people further west to find out if there is a second-stage Roman camp, because from the perspective of these people, the more they look at it, the more they feel that this wave of Rome is just to see if there is a chance to make a profit.

"Then are we here to see, although we are here to see the world, but just stand here and don't do anything, what is it?" Li Dao was inexplicably a little unhappy.

"It's definitely going to be done, but we need to see the situation, and the Sabbatarians won't let us do it first." Zhuge Liang said with a smile, "It is impossible for them to let us intervene in the first battle, after all, they are the main force, we are the guest army, and it is impossible for us to move first." ”

Li Dao looked helpless, he really had itchy hands now, to be precise, this kind of military class of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry completely relied on combat to maintain its strength, because a large part of their training could only be carried out on the battlefield.

"We help the Sabbatarians to plunder, what is the conspiracy of the Romans in the province." Zhuge Liang said with a smile, "After all, as far as I know recently, the war between Rome and Anxi, in the past hundred years, there is no record of victory in any frontal battle. ”

"Although a large part of this is not only a matter of technique and tactics, and the commander, but also caused by a rigid and dogmatic combat mode, and now that the rest people have changed their combat methods, they may not be completely accustomed to it for a while" Zhuge Liang explained to Li Dao, he believed that Li Dao would definitely understand his words.

"In other words, if Rest can't beat Rome, we'll help him resist one or two, and if Rest can beat Rome, then there's nothing to say." Li Wei asked unhappily.

"Well, that's pretty much it." Zhuge Liang nodded, in fact, after Zhuge Liang and the others saw the rest of the generals, they were a lot more relieved, although the rest of the generals were a little arrogant, but the strength was still very reliable.

After all, the attack on Mesopotamia has really killed thirteen internal qi detachments, nine elite legions, and many soldiers who are very well trained, just waiting to go into battle to kill the enemy, and counting the sufficient supplies, as well as the magnificent morale, the arrogant but relatively cautious veteran Fars Sasani, Zhuge Liang can't see the possibility of losing at all.

In fact, Zhuge Liang's vision is indeed not wrong, the arrogant behavior of the veteran Fars Sasanid is only to boost the confidence of the rest soldiers, and the cautious scheduling of the march is more to find fighters, this is a very powerful veteran.

By the way, the grandson of this veteran, Ardashir, was the general who destroyed Kushan and the emperor who established the Sassanid Persian dynasty, and by the way, the reason why this dynasty was named after Sassanid was because of the veteran in front of him.

The veteran who was promoted to head coach by Vologis V was the one who brought their family to glory, and the efforts of his sons and grandsons made their family rise successfully, and even had the ability to defeat Kushan comparable to Rome.

Of course, the most important thing is that their family first absorbed the nutrients of the rest, and basically did not lose much, and established the Sassanid Persian dynasty on the collapsed resting land.

Although the Kushan had been completely divided at that time, as for the reason for the split, it was the previous Central Asian who forcibly separated the Western Kushan Dynasty with Khorasan and Khorezm, but it was destroyed not long after, and the Kushan King had to send an envoy to Sassanid Persia to surrender.
