Chapter 1945: The Beginning of the Counterattack

Benito led the remnants of the 14th Legion all the way back, and from the moment the Sabbatarians dropped incendiary bombs into the city of Akkad, Benito understood why the Sabbatarians would not follow common sense and force their way across the Tigris without fear of sacrifice.

The other party already knew everything when he was on the other side of the river, and the other party had already crushed himself from the intellectual level, and all his plans were simply clear in the eyes of the other party, in this case, the more he calculated, the worse he lost.

As for the only way to resolve the conspiracy, which is the so-called frontal crushing, unfortunately, after losing the Thirteen Rose Legions, the Fourteenth Legion led by him alone would definitely not be able to do such a thing.

After all, the Fourteenth Legion is not a frontal assault at all, and the Fourteenth Legion is mainly assisted by the terrifying universality of the Legion and the ability to show a perfect degree of combat effectiveness on any battlefield, as well as the ability to restrain any Legion.

A super elite legion with the fourteenth legion, if it can be used, the combat effectiveness is definitely greater than that of two super elite legions, but a single fourteenth legion can definitely not beat a super elite legion in the front.

Now Benito's embarrassment is because of this, the front of the Fourteenth Legion can't withstand a super elite legion no matter what, and it can't withstand the opponent's front, how to parry the opponent's counterattack.

And Benito knows very well that since he is now crushing the opponent intellectually, it means that it is absolutely impossible for him to replicate the Tigris resistance battle in the Euphrates again, which also means that he is no longer in danger.

The biggest problem for Rest and Rome was this, except for the two rivers in the valley of the two rivers, and the Zagros Mountains to the east of the valley of the two rivers, there was basically nothing to garrison.

The Iranian Plateau is said to be a plateau, in fact, the center of the plateau is a vast inland basin, well, what does the word vast mean, compared to the earth, it is obviously round, why does it look so flat, because it is big.

The Iranian plateau is also in line with this situation, because it is too big, so that after this place crosses the mountain, it is directly flat, and there is no problem with playing the cavalry group on the flat.

Although there are no rivers leading to the sea, this is still one of the few places in the world with particularly good agricultural conditions, and by the way, it is also the birthplace of ancient civilizations.

This led to the awkward place of rest and Rome, with only three places to defend between the two countries, and the rest of the city was basically equal to the plain.

As for Armenia, it stretches east of Asia Minor, bordered by the Black Sea to the west and the Caspian Sea to the east, which of course was Armenia at the end of the second century, and by the way, the Taurus Mountains to the south of this place happened to be the dividing line between Rome and Armenia.

After this place, it is basically a flat river, and the Roman cities are planted on the plains, and the climate of this place is mild and humid, which is suitable for habitation, and you can get a good harvest if you plant the fields casually.

Of course, the biggest problem in this place is that there is no danger to defend, as long as you cross these two mountains and two big rivers, there is no danger in front of you.

This is also an important reason why Darius and his people fought directly from Iran to the west, and they were able to occupy a small half of the Mediterranean Sea casually, and finally stopped when they were blocked by Greek civilization.

This place is so terrible, after passing those places before, there is no danger to defend, and after touching the Mediterranean, as long as your shipbuilding level is high enough, the entire Mediterranean coast can be hit, and there is no sea in the world that is smaller than the Mediterranean Sea.

And to this extent, as long as you are crazy about shipbuilding technology, what land material transportation loss, what is difficult to transport troops, what distance is long, you can talk nonsense.

In this case, direct sea transportation was also the greatest logistical advantage of Rome, transporting grain from any port on the Mediterranean coast to another, and in the current era of the recovery of the spirit of heaven and earth, the Romans could guarantee that it would be delivered to any desired place in the country in two months.

You must know that one hundred and twenty days is the extreme wall of the empire, and hundreds of thousands of troops in two months can be moved, and the big advantage is simply against the sky.

However, there were disadvantages to everything, and the Romans had such a large advantage in the Mediterranean baths, which on the contrary meant that if any invader could reach the Mediterranean, the Romans could be attacked in any corner of the country.

Now that the Sabbatarians are about to achieve this, they have crossed two rivers and two mountains, and there is no danger in front of them, and they can plunge one foot into the Mediterranean Sea if they push to the eastern provinces that are blocked in front of them!

It can be said that the Mediterranean Sea is Rome's greatest strength, but it is also Rome's biggest weakness.

If the Sabbath man had one foot in the bath of Rome, all the prosperous areas of Rome would be mortally attacked.

However, until now, the Romans have not paid attention to this aspect, after all, since the Romans occupied the Mediterranean Sea and contracted the entire Mediterranean, to this day, no one has put their feet in the Mediterranean, so the Romans have not noticed this drawback.

And now Vologis V, who had crossed the Taurus Mountains, received that Fars Sassanid had crossed the two river valleys and completely annihilated the Thirteen Rose Legions, which had caused great losses to the Sabbatarians in history, Vologis V immediately prepared to go south and attack the eastern Roman provinces with Fars Sassanid.

When the front of the Sabbatarians finally stretched out from the two rivers and the fangs were about to pierce the eastern provinces of Rome, the internal qi detachment military commander sent by Benito before thought about it several times, hesitated and reversed several times, and finally chose to go to the Roman capital first.

Although Benito asked the other party to go directly to England to inform Severus, after arriving in England, he finally chose to return to the Roman capital, after all, the news of the great victory in the north had been received by Giuseppe when he arrived in England.

In this case, as long as the battle is steady, Rome will inevitably win the victory in the north, and there is no need to let the war in the north of Rome be defeated because of a momentary anger, and the destruction of the Thirteen Rose Legions is likely to make Severus change his original plan of steady and steady fighting.

It may even be because of the impatience after that, so that the barbarians can see hope, strictly guard against it, and force Rome to give up the good situation and negotiate peace with the three barbarians, which is more than worth the loss.

Although Giuseppe knew very well what Benito asked him to tell Severus directly for, as a general who had also commanded the legions, he also had his own understanding of warfare, and the Thirteenth Legion was very important, which was true, but it was not worth it for the Thirteenth Legion to change the strategy of the Roman Empire to advance eastward after stabilizing the West.

If the enemy in the northwest of Rome is completely conquered, then the troops that Rome can free up are as high as 300,000, in this case, it is even enough to sweep away the peace in a battle, and if it cannot sweep the northwest, then the Romans can only defeat the rest in the east, but cannot conquer!

"Giuseppe, what did you say?" Pabinian, the Roman magistrate, looked at Giuseppe in shock, thinking his ears had misheard.

"The Thirteenth Legion was completely annihilated, and the Eagle Banner was taken away." Giuseppe said calmly.

"How is this possible, as a relic of Caesar, this legion is unimaginably powerful, not to mention that with the assistance of His Majesty Nero's Fourteen Eagle Banner Legion, even our parliamentary guards cannot wipe it out." Pabinian directly stated a long list of reasons why the Legion of the Thirteen Roses would never be destroyed.

"But, even with so many conditions, in fact he has already fallen." Giuseppe looked at Pabinian and said bitterly, and then told all about the process of the destruction of the entire Thirteenth Legion, or Benito's response after that, of course, he didn't hide that Benito asked him to inform Severus about it.

In Rome, they are the guardians of the city, the guardians of the empire, they have no actual power, but all the resources they need will be provided by the country, they do not participate in civil wars, all they have to do is to try to improve their strength and make themselves stronger.

So these people enjoy super-citizen treatment in Rome, they can go directly to the people they need if necessary, they don't need to hide for anyone, their meaning is for the Roman Empire!

"This makes me how to give an account to the Parliament, how to give an account to His Majesty, how to give an account to the citizens! All those who recommend Gilia's pig should be hanged! Pabinian no longer had the slightest calmness of the chief justice at this time, and the whole person was crazy.

"It's useless to say this, I didn't go to inform His Majesty Severus, you know what the reason is, I was already informed of the situation when I went to England, so I went straight back to Rome to discuss the matter with you." Giuseppe said as he looked at Pabinian.

"You are doing this very right, at this time, you must not let Your Majesty know the news of the fall of the Thirteen Roses, we are about to completely end the enemy in the northwest, as long as we end these barbarians, there will only be one enemy left around our Rome to rest, and when the time comes, we will gather the power of the empire, and we will definitely be able to take down the entire rest in one go." Pabinian said with a deep breath.

After all, this commander, who is also in control of the strongest guards in Rome in the future, is not short of strategic vision, but does not inform Severus, and the current eastern border counties are in a state of emptiness, only the fourteenth and fifteenth legions, leading the barbarian army has no way to resist the rest.

"I don't have the power to mobilize the army." Pabinian calmed down as much as he could, looked at Giuseppe and said, "The only people who have the power to dispatch the army are His Majesty, the four dukes of the border counties, and the parliamentary group, and I am the Chancellor, I don't. ”
