Congnes was one of the Roman crown princes.

The succession to the throne of the Roman Empire was different from that of the Han Empire. The Han Empire adhered to the Oriental tradition of father-to-son. The Roman Empire, on the other hand, was emperor as a family unit.

The royal family of the Roman Empire was the House of Caesar. The Caesar family held 40 percent of the seats in the Roman Senate's upper house, and could almost decide on the deposition of the emperor. The Caesar family consisted of five smaller families, namely the Roman Caesar, the Asian Caesar, the Egyptian Caesar, the Temple Caesar, and the Northern Caesar. Every Roman emperor was born from these five families.

The emperor who succeeded to the title of Augustus had to choose an illustrious child from the other four Caesar families to be his adopted son. These four adopted sons have the same right to inherit the throne as the emperor's own sons!

The Roman Empire, which learned the feudal autocracy of the Han Dynasty, still retained the parliamentary system of the Roman Republic, which is itself a mutation.

Congenes, formerly known as Blue Shield? Congenes? Caesar is the crown prince who was elected ten years ago by the Caesar family of Asia. For the education of the future emperor, the Han Empire was responsible for the Yulin secret guard, while the education of the crown prince of the Roman Empire was mainly arranged by the Caesar family themselves - of course, until the age of eighteen, Congnes had to stay with the Roman emperor.

This year, Conganes is nineteen years old. A year earlier, he had returned to the House of Caesar in Asia Minor and had participated in the Governor of Asia, Mano, in his plan to conquer the East.

In order to protect the crown prince, the Roman emperor arranged for fifty Death Scythes of Hades to be guarded closely, and on the side of the Asian provinces, Mano arranged for the most elite red-clothed soldiers in the Asian provinces to follow Congenes.

The Red Coats, whose full name was the First Legion of the Roman Empire in Asia, had a full strength of 35,000 men, and was named after the red cloaks worn by the sergeants. It belonged to one of the nine main battle legions of the Roman Empire.

……

Speaking of the Red Coats, we have to say that five hundred years ago, the Emperor of the Great Han Dynasty sent the Jin Gongma to the west to conquer the Caspian Sea. This was the most important battle that decided the territory between the Han Dynasty and Rome, and it was also the decisive battle between the two great powers of the East and the West 500 years ago. According to the ratio of troops and participating countries of the two sides involved in the war at that time, it can be said that it is the first world war in the era of cold weapons!

That war lasted for a total of ten years, and in ten years, the Han Dynasty dispatched a total of six first-class legions of flying cavalry, flying eagles, hussars, trapping, liewu, and rhino armor, twelve second-class legions, and the attached armies of nineteen large and small vassal states such as Burma, Gongbang, Siam, Kangju, Yueshi, and Yanqi, which were not conquered at that time, with a total strength of more than 3 million in an unprecedented amount!

The Roman Empire also did its best, drawing troops from Europe and Africa for ten years. Among them, the five most elite legions of the Roman Citizen Legion (stationed in Rome), the Templar Legion (stationed in Northern Xinjiang), the Imperial Legion (stationed in Western Europe), the Red Legion (stationed in Western Asia), and the Legion of the Dead (stationed in North Africa) all participated in the battle, and were on the battlefield from beginning to end. In addition, Rome also requisitioned the troops of vassal states from all over Europe and Africa, with a total strength of nearly three million!

Of course, I only fought with him for three or four years. Compared with World War I and World War II in the era of tens of millions of soldiers, there were only 6 million world wars. The scale is still a bit small. Not to mention the fact that this world war has been fought for ten years. Neither side could touch the core of the other, and it was only a war of attrition.

However, it should be noted that the Roman Empire at that time was already showing signs of division, while the Han Dynasty at the same time, under the leadership of the Holy Ancestor Emperor, comprehensively suppressed the leading Romans in terms of military system, political system and economic system. After ten years of war, Rome was almost brought down. But it is still limited to the level of science and technology. The Han Empire's Jiaolongwei was unable to directly attack the core of the Roman Empire, so the Romans finally had a little respite - there was no Suez Canal at that time, and if they wanted to reach the Mediterranean Sea from the East, they had to bypass Africa......

In the most critical battle of the Caspian Sea. After a series of careful deployments, the Han army led by Jin Gongma Chao has completely annihilated the Roman Empire's legions to the death, and the Templar legion and the Imperial legion have been completely disabled and withdrawn from the battlefield. The remaining Citizen Legion and the Red Coats are also struggling to hold on.

Seeing that Rome was about to be defeated in this ten-year war, the most outstanding statesman, strategist, and orator of the Romans at that time, Heyer? Merd didn't know what method he used, but he actually said that the Caliphate Empire would send troops, and at the same time, he also let five or six vassal states in the Han army, such as Kangju, Yueshi and Yanqi, rebel!

For a time, the situation on the battlefield took a sharp turn for the worse, and the Han army was in danger of being completely annihilated. At this time, it was still the Jin Gongma Chao who showed his courage, and the strong man broke his wrist and abandoned the four second-class legions before he could safely withdraw from the battlefield.

It was also this war that led to the later Han Dynasty launching a war of extermination against small Central Asian countries such as Kangju, Yueshi, and Yanqi, and they had to eat them all......

The impact of this war was extremely far-reaching, the most important point was that the Han army, which was in its prime, shrank back to the eastern shore of the Caspian Sea, and could no longer pose a military threat to European territory, and the Caucasus Mountains became the dividing line between Europe and Asia, and the Caspian Sea became shared by the Han Empire and Rome and the Caliphate. The Han Empire's strategy of conquest of the West shifted from military occupation to cultural aggression.

Another important impact was that Rome used this war to weaken the governors of various places who were ready to move, especially the destruction and cripplement of those main battle legions, which indirectly protected the integrity of the Roman Empire! Of course, it was also during this decade-long war that the Germanic barbarians began to rise in northern Rome, and for a time they were so powerful that they became a lingering nightmare for the Romans for 500 years. As for whether there is any instigation and support from the Han people, it is difficult to say......

……

Although the Roman Empire declined because of this, and had to admit that the Han Empire was the world hegemon at that time, objectively speaking, this war promoted the substantive unity of the Roman Empire. And because in the Battle of the Caspian Sea, the Han people showed the ambition and strength enough to annex the world to the entire West, resulting in the later Roman emperor's Eastern reforms, and did not hear too many opposing voices - people will always involuntarily learn from civilizations and races stronger than themselves, this is nature!

Of course, in the entire Battle of the Caspian Sea, the most brilliant of the Roman Empire was undoubtedly the Citizen Legion and the Red Coats. Not only did they block the attack of the Great Han Armor and other legions head-on, but they also survived to the end, which in itself shows that their strength is already world-class. And later in the Roman Empire several foreign wars. The Redcoats also played a vanguard role, and won many battles.

In the four hundred years after the Battle of Caspian Sea, the Redcoats were not defeated! It can be described as a military prestige!

……

The Redcoats, who are responsible for protecting Congenez, are the most elite guard army in the Redcoats. The Roman military system is similar to that of the Han Dynasty, but it is different (note: the specific will be added in the relevant works), this red-clothed army has a total of 3,000 people, and the main general is called the commander of the thousand (Chinese translation). This commander is Slivensson!

Since Rovinis already sensed that the battle was about to be lost, he gathered all the redcoats who had been scattered to serve as officers or guards in the various Moon Clans, and then protected Congenez to retreat from the north first.

I don't know if it's a mockery of fate. Or the luck of the Romans was too bad. This detachment in Yue's armor could not go north at all, as the Han army had already advanced south from the north and was engaged in fierce battles with Yue's army on both sides of the Zabhan River. To do this, Congenes had to go east first, around to the Chagan region. Then head north from Chagan Lake and enter the Orkhon Valley.

The Chagan region was nominally part of the Yueshi clan before. But in fact, it's the backyard of the Flying Guards. But now the Flying Cavalry Guards have received military orders to rush to Feiyun Castle, so it is the safest.

What Congnes never expected was that he would actually meet the Sixth Legion of the Moon Prince here! And what I didn't expect was that the prince of the Yue clan was actually here to ambush the Marquis of Bohai, who was the Han Dynasty!

Such a fun thing was met by nineteen-year-old Congnez, will he let it go? Of course not!

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

Zimu is a small village in Chagan District, Beihai Prefecture. It is located fifteen miles southwest of Chagan Lake. Ten miles away from Jinshan Forest. It was inhabited by only thirty households, one hundred and ten people – that was, of course, before the war – and now Zimu, except for the houses that have been burned to ashes. There are only clumps of sand trees, poplars and red willows.

To the southwest of Chagan Lake, there is a wetland and wilderness everywhere you look, and only when you reach Zimu, the terrain falls sharply, forming a small depression shape. An unnamed stream flows out of the Jinshan Forest and passes through here, turning Zimu into a small paradise.

Shen Yun and his entourage walked from the west to the east, this area is very close to the Gobi, but it does not look desolate at all, I heard the veterans of Feiyun Fort say that there are still many hot springs here, a year ago, they were still here in the winter to soak in the hot springs.

Following the guidance of the veterans of Feiyun Castle, the cavalry of the third battalion followed the dust in front of them and gradually came to Zimu and arrived at the unknown river.

At the end of the day, Shen Yun stopped and looked up, and there was a hill on the other side of the river, which just separated him from his line of sight from looking at Chagan Lake.

"That's all for the army. Take a break and head back to Flying Cloud Castle! Shen Yun saw that the Yue Clan's army was still advancing, but it was getting late, so he extinguished the idea of continuing the pursuit.

In this afternoon's pursuit, the three battalions led by Shen Yun still gained a lot. Several of the palaces or the slow-moving Yue's battalion headquarters were all leveled, and no less than 600 first-level military merits were awarded.

The whole army dismounted and prepared to refresh in front of the stream. Shen Yun, as the commander, led the team out for the first time, and took Pang Tong and a platoon of men and horses across the stream to observe the surrounding terrain.

"This Zimu is really a good place, you see that the surrounding five hundred steps are poplar forests and red willow forests, and there are hills and mountains in front, and the streams run through it, hiding the wind and water, it is a treasure land of feng shui!" Due to the withdrawal of the Yue clan and the many gains in the afternoon, Shen Yun was in a good mood, and couldn't help but point around, and said with a smile.

Pang Tong held the Panlong Flag of the Special Editorial Department, twisted his neck and said, "Master Hou still understands the way of Feng Shui?" My old Pang couldn't see anything, but there was no vision in all directions, and I always felt trapped and unhappy. ”

Shen Yun laughed, really wanted to taunt him a few words, but suddenly his heart moved, and his forehead sweated in an instant.

Yes, Zimu is indeed suitable for people to live here, but for the soldiers, isn't it a dangerous place surrounded by four battles? Surrounded by woods, hills in front and ...... behind

Shen Yun turned his head, but saw that he didn't know when it became foggy in the back.

"Quick, go back and join the brigade!" Shen Yun felt flustered for no reason, and hurriedly beckoned everyone to turn around.

As soon as I returned to the stream, someone came to report that the surrounding fog had risen and gradually enveloped the entire Zimu. However, the veterans of Feiyun Castle also said that there are several hot springs in the vicinity. It's no surprise that in the evening, the fog gets thick here.

Although there was a reasonable explanation, Shen Yun still felt that something was wrong. Scouts were immediately sent to reconnoiter the surrounding woods.

Fang Cheng came to Shen Yun's side at this time, looked up at the fog that permeated the surroundings, and said, "Yuan Rang, the veteran said that this fog came and went quickly, about a quarter of an hour before and after. When the fog clears, we'll be able to turn around! ”

Shen Yun frowned and replied indiscriminately. But the uneasiness in my heart became more and more obvious.

By this time, the fog had already covered the entire Zimu area. Three steps away, he couldn't see the figure clearly, and Shen Yun had to shout loudly, telling the soldiers to move closer to each other and not get separated.

Just then, a horn sounded. Accompanied by distant chirps and screams......

Shen Yun was taken aback. Really......

But then it was calm again.

"Don't panic, don't panic! The fog will soon dissipate. Pass the order down. Gather the horses, don't run around, and everyone forms a circle to protect the horses in the middle. Shen Yun was already sweating profusely, and he was still shouting loudly.

At this moment, Shen Yun can't see it. Presumably, the enemy is also invisible. Just survive this foggy time.

Fang Cheng was beside Shen Yun, and at this moment he also knew that he seemed to have walked into a certain trap. But the bow and knife in his hand were held tighter......

There was silence all around, except for the heavy gasps of horses and men. This silence is terrifying. Especially if you can't see things.

Suddenly, a cool breeze blew, and the fog finally gradually dissipated. Shen Yun and Fang Qian couldn't help but look at each other and smile, as long as the fog cleared and the vision was restored, with the mobility of the cavalry, the sky and the earth were big, where could they go?

But at this moment, the horns of the four sides whined, and the arrows sounded from four directions at the same time, and all of them were five arrows, indicating that there were many enemies.

Shen Yun turned over and got on his horse, looking around, but there was still a little time for the fog to dissipate, and it was hazy in the distance, and there seemed to be countless figures approaching, but they couldn't see clearly. In this case, Shen Yun had no choice but to order the soldiers to form a formation again and not to act rashly. The field of vision is unknown, the enemy situation is unknown, and it is undoubtedly stupid to fight on horseback in vain, and now only cavalry can be used as infantry.

Finally, the fog cleared, and the surrounding situation was in full view, but Shen Yun, who had seen the surrounding situation clearly, was not happy at all, but felt cold.

Pang Tong, the fat man, opened his eyes as big as mung beans in astonishment, and exclaimed: "Good girl, I really said yes, Ge Laozi, how many people are there?" ”

The surrounding poplar forests and red willow forests were full of Yue soldiers, they were all foot soldiers, flat bows and knives, and they were pressing towards Shen Yun and them step by step—the screams before were made by the Han scouts who entered the woods.

Just when Shen Yun's heart was cold, a horn sound different from that of the Han army sounded in another place, and everyone turned back in horror, only to see a row of cavalry figures appear in the high hills behind them! A large banner of the Bright Moon Floating Sea stands on the hills, and the other red double-headed eagle flag that Shen Yun has never seen before also stands side by side with the Bright Moon Floating Sea Giant Banner!

This is......

"Rome! It's the Roman Redcoats! A recognized Han soldier suddenly screamed in despair.

Shen Yun and Fang Cheng instantly felt cold in their hands and feet.

Although it had long been known that the Romans were involved in this war, it was the first time that the Roman double-headed eagle banner was seen!

"Aren't they going to be sneaky? Why is it so blatant this time!? Shen Yun exclaimed in his heart.

There were two thousand Roman cavalry, and one thousand Yueshi cavalry standing high on the hills. The dense knights stood neatly and solemnly on the high place, looking coldly at the Han army cavalry that was already a group of hedgehogs at the bottom of the slope.

At this moment, Shen Yun knew that he was in danger.

Not to mention the Yue's infantry that was approaching step by step, the cavalry on the hills alone was enough to kill. What's more, they did not get on their horses at the moment, but put on an infantry combat posture to encounter the enemy.

Some people will say, why don't you just get on the horse now?

Hehe, to put it lightly. Now in this situation, will the Yueshi people feel at ease to let you tighten the horse's belly belt, get on the horse array, and then impact them?

It can't be, it's clearly a trap, a well-planned ambush. Neither friend nor foe will make such mistakes.

For Shen Yun, the only good news was that he had just given up the mobility of the cavalry, but let the Han army gather together to form an infantry defense array, and there was still a fight. The bad news is that the enemy is coming prepared, and his forces are far outnumbering his own. It's impossible to break through!

The evening wind blew gently, and Shen Yun's back was cold.

Is it really surrounded? Are you going to die here?

Fang Cheng suddenly felt a wave of discouragement. The hand that clenched the sword gradually loosened.

"Brothers, do you see, there is the Roman Eagle Banner, as a Han soldier, it is your duty to defeat the Huns and the Yueshi rebels, but have you ever encountered the Roman army?" Shen Yun rode on his horse and suddenly laughed loudly, "Rome has always boasted of being the number one power in the world, standing side by side with my Han Dynasty. Why don't we try them today? ”

Just when everyone was a little puzzled why Shen Yun said this, Shen Yun turned over and dismounted, walked to the front of the team sonorously, holding the knife above his head with both hands, and the tip of the knife was eyebrow-raised. Silent determination to fight last. At the same time, he smiled and said: "As a Han soldier, I." Han Bohai Hou Shen Yun. Take on the Roman Redcoats! Ladies and gentlemen, who is with me?! ”

Fang Cheng's heart was hot, and he also raised his bow and shouted: "I am willing to go!" ”

Pang Tong stomped the Panlong military flag and shouted: "I am willing to go!" ”

"I'm willing to go too!"

"Go along! Let's go!! ”

Shen Yun laughed: "People die and birds face up, and they will not die for thousands of years." After eating the military salary of the big Han, you should do something for the big Han. Today you and I are bloody. That's my brother! Brothers, let them see, the Han army has no bad seeds! The Great Han is mighty! ”

"Mighty! Mighty!! All the Han soldiers chanted in unison.

Morale is high!

One, two. Three......

At this moment, there was no one to command, but the Han soldiers spontaneously lined up in two dense phalanxes, ten columns horizontally, twenty rows vertically, and two thousand eight hundred bloody Han warriors faced the Roman military flag on the hills so silently! The meaning is obvious, the Yueshi people on the two wings are not worth mentioning, in the eyes of my Han, there is only one enemy of you, Rome!

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

On the hill, in the middle of the horse, it was Congenez, and on the left was Slivensson. And on the right hand side is the prince of the Yue clan, Kungong, who laid this trap? Abbas.

At this moment, they looked at the Han soldiers who were chasing for a day, the horsepower was insufficient, and they had given up their cavalry identities, and they were preparing to fight on foot.

Congenes was respectful and admired, and said to Slivenson beside him: "Your Excellency Slivensson, the Han people are really brave, and they deserve to be a glorious empire on the same level as my Rome!" ”

Slivensson, however, was a little frightened, he saw Shen Yun, and saw the man who had made him lose face in the army, with an embarrassed smile on his face, and echoed Congenez. But there was some drumming in his heart, and he said in his heart: It turns out that he is the Marquis of Bohai of the Han Dynasty! Oh my God, are all the nobles of the Han Dynasty so brave? That's horrible!

But Abbas looked disdainful: What kind of bullshit Bohai Hou, didn't I lead out of Feiyun Castle with a little trick? Hmph, in this war, my Yue's people can't encircle and annihilate the Northern Frontier Front, and your little Bohai Marquis is also a good trophy.

Yes, this ambush was planned. This is the idea that Hillebyan came up with, that is, to send an archer to shoot or kill Shen Yun's favorite, Zhou Hui, the daughter of the Ying Duke of the Han Dynasty, and then withdraw the army to show the enemy to be weak, and the Marquis of Bohai will definitely be angry and chase out of Feiyun Castle.

It's hard to explain whether Shen Yun was in a hurry to pursue because Zhou Hui was injured, but no matter what the process was, the result was that Shen Yun really chased him out. With that, Hillebyan succeeded!

Conganes looked at the Han army array in front of him, and was full of emotion, this was the first time he commanded the army to fight, and his excitement was inevitable, so much so that even the Roman double-headed eagle banner was played, and this behavior was strictly forbidden by Rovinis.

As the crown prince of Rome, he is eager to prove that he is better than several other brothers, and the identity of the Marquis of Bohai of the Han Dynasty is enough to match his identity as the crown prince! If the Marquis of Bohai can capture the Han alive, then Augustus can't look at him differently!

Thinking of this, Congenes' heart was on fire, and he said: "For warriors, we Romans have always given the highest respect, His Royal Highness the Third Prince of the Yue Clan, can you send someone to recruit them?" I can promise that they will be treated as captives of the highest level! ”

In Congnes's eyes, when encountering such a situation, choosing to surrender as a soldier is not a shame, but a kind of wisdom. In the Western view, there is no shame in surrendering. Especially after a strong battle, it is an honor to surrender to someone stronger than yourself, and the captives are treated well.

It's a pity that they are not facing the Western army, but the Han soldiers of the East!

The word surrender does not exist in their minds! Either return triumphantly or die in battle, there is no other option!

Svenson was about to send someone down to persuade him to surrender, Gonkun? Abbas sighed and said, "Give them a chance to die in honor!" They won't surrender! Killed on the battlefield, the horse leather shroud is the highest glory of the Han soldiers! ”

Congenez was stunned, smacked his mouth twice, and then stopped speaking.

Gongkun? Abbas shouted: "Raise the flag and show war!" ”

This is a prelude to an offensive. The Yueshi and Rome sides were raised high at the same time, and then stomped down heavily, and all the Yueshi and Roman soldiers stomped their feet at the same time, and the momentum was clear, like a thousand pounds of hammer hitting the ground, and the murderous aura of the entire battlefield began to permeate.

After the Roman and Yue's Daxu military flags were unfurled, they crackled in the sassy wind, as if they were demonstrating to the Han army again!

"Raise the flag of my Great Han Emperor!" Shen Yun drank.

Pang Tong, the flag bearer, solemnly unfurled the banner of the Panlong Emperor, held it high to the sky, and danced towards the opposite Roman and Yueshi people.

The afterglow of the setting sun finally pierced through the thick fog and covered this group of great Han warriors who were about to die generously under their own glory!

"The Han army is mighty!"

I don't know who shouted first, and all the Han soldiers shouted along. The majestic voice drifted far and wide along the wind!

Everyone shouted loudly with all their strength, as if they wanted to use this voice to transmit the heroism back to the imperial capital and the land that gave birth to them...... (To be continued......)
