Chapter 1924: Both the enemy and us
The abnormal movements in Anxue are not unavailable for border counties in eastern Rome, but the current situation in Rome is a bit bad.
The Duke of the border county in this area, the Duke of Garnasis who fought with Li Jue, was the first to recognize the threat of the Han Empire and the first to go to Rome to personally support Severu as the Roman emperor.
No matter what Garnasis thought at the beginning, as the first Duke of the border county to go to Rome to support Severu, he gave him enough impression points.
Severu, who was originally from North Africa, had no supporters except his own army. As the Duke of the border county with military and political power, standing up to support him was of great significance to him to stabilize the situation in Rome.
It is precisely because of this move that Garnasis avoided becoming the chicken that Severu killed a chicken to warn monkeys. Instead, Severu considered a trustworthy supporter. As the first person, Garnasis was naturally considered Severu's iron rod.
It is precisely because of this that when Severu defeated the northern barbarians, he naturally had to take Garnasis with him.
In other words, the boss who currently has the eastern provinces of Rome, involving Mesopotamia, Syria, Kari and other places is not in his territory. He is now accompanying his emperor to fight with the barbarians in England, so the reaction in this area is a bit slow.
However, it is dullness, but it is not enough to lose the commander of the border duke, and the commanders of the legion who are mainly deploying defense have problems.
In fact, after Garnasis left, the leaders of the three Eagle Flag Legion stationed in eastern Rome were even more careful. After obtaining a rest situation, they sent people to send messages to the Roman Parliament, and actively deployed defenses. The provincial government was embarrassed when his boss was not there.
Therefore, long before Anxu started, these Romans had already begun to mobilize. For many years, they had a very good understanding of the Axu people's fighting style. Therefore, even if Garnasis was not there, the various legions, led by the legion commander, steadily built their own defense lines.
Of course, when Rome received the abnormal movement of Absolute, it was necessary to defend or take action first, and there was some chaos in Rome.
After all, in the eastern border counties of Rome, there were eight reorganized legions under the rule of Garnasis. Of course, there were only three Eagle Flag Legion, and the other five were all barbarians. Although these barbarians were very capable of fighting, relatively speaking, the Eagle Flag Legion composed of pure Roman citizens was even more capable of fighting.
In addition, the power of the Roman citizens themselves was said to be discussed by the eight legion commanders about the recession. In fact, there were only three people who were really discussing. Similarly, the so-called defense or attack also broke out between these three people.
After receiving the information about the Alien movement, a commander of the Legion in Rome called Marcus Orelius Gilia immediately summoned all the commanders, and he immediately proposed a plan to take the initiative to take the lead.
In fact, what is important is not to propose a plan, what is important is that this guy’s proposal is very implementable.
After summoning everyone, this guy directly suggested gathering all the troops and drawing defenses in each city, with three Eagle Flag Legion as the core and five barbarian troops as the auxiliary, plus a large number of auxiliary troops, he went south from Armenia to attack Media and Tessifon in the hinterland of Parthia!
Using attack instead of defense, forced Anxi to give up his plan to attack Mesopotamia, and directly put the battlefield in the most prosperous place in Anxi, restraining the destructive power of the opponent's army, not seeking victory, but only seeking to hold Anxi's army back to arrive, and directly attacking Taixifeng and forcing Anxi's army to fight their Romans.
Of course, this proposal was rejected by the other two legion commanders. Gillia was too young. Although he was born into a royal family and was born with a sensitivity to war, he was far from qualifications. Moreover, such a proposal was quite a bit of a gambler's mentality.
Although three legion commanders leading the barbarians thought this proposal was very good, it was obvious that the Roman structure was clear, and the Eagle Flag Legion was far higher than other legions, so naturally even if there were many reasons, Gilia lost its meaning.
Of course, after such a crazy proposal was rejected, the three legion commanders planned to unite the troops and garrison in Mesopotamia.
Of course, the first garrison was placed east of the Tigris River under the strong request of Gillia. After Gillia's first proposal was rejected, the two legion commanders thought about it and decided to listen to his second proposal.
After all, the other party's identity is too strong, and he is the Thirteen Eagle Flag Legion, and his ability is really good. If the two legion commanders were not considering the overall situation, they would not be willing to offend this guy. Even if they were a great noble, they would be very scared to encounter such a tough backstage.
Of course, although he heard the second proposal of Gillia, the other two legion commanders also carried out camp construction between the Euphrates and the Tigris River first.
After all, compared to the young and energetic Jillia who wanted to fight back to rest, these two experienced legion commanders decided to conduct the first test east of the Tigris River.
If the progress goes well, then it is not impossible to defeat the opponent's vanguard with a tough attack in the first battle, boost our morale, and then directly rest the army and attack it head-on after it is severely damaged by the enemy, but who can tell the truth about war?
It is not only the Chinese habit to decide whether to win or lose first. Many excellent and experienced generals will do this. Therefore, both legion commanders decided to build a formal camp between the Euphrates and the Tigris.
Although doing so may lose opportunities in the event of a great victory, compared to Gilia, who needs merit to build their reputation, these two people are already past that age, and they are very clear about what their most important position is.
In fact, if you really need to follow Gilia's proposal, you might be able to beat someone unexpectedly.
Of course, that refers to the normal situation, and this time the situation is completely abnormal. Even if Gillia convinced everyone and really led his troops to Armenia, he would inevitably bump into Vollogis V, who led seven internal energy and eight elite legions, and led them to leave the body.
The Romans had no idea how big the Aries had bet this time. Although Vollogis V had many problems, he still had no lack of courage. If Gilia went to Armenia, it would be impossible for both sides to decide the outcome in a short period of time.
With the will of Vollogis V, they would never let the Romans retreat, nor would they care about the life and death of the Armenian kings, and bit the Roman legion tightly, so that they would not have the chance to retreat.
Once this happens, most of the eastern part of Rome will probably fall. The army of Rest, which has advanced straight into the world, will definitely do all the things Rome did in Tessifon to Rome. To that extent, even if Gilia does not die, she will not escape the trial of the Roman Parliament.
In this way, under the command of Dirina, the commander of the 15th Eagle Flag Legion, Benito, the commander of the 14th Eagle Flag Legion, and Gilia, the commander of the 13th Eagle Flag, the legions stationed in eastern Rome began to slowly advance eastward, and before arriving in peace, they had already pushed their defense east of the Two Rivers.
Currently, there are twenty-four Eagle Flag Legions in Rome. After the seventeenth, eighteenth and nineteenth are completely destroyed, they have not been rebuilt yet, and the banner has been directly cancelled.
Among these twenty-four legions, the combat power of the first three Eagle Flag Legions is very fierce. Without the Eagle Flag, the combat power is equivalent to that of the super elite legion. However, now it has been brought to England by Severu and two military soul legions to fight the barbarians.
After all, he was severely depressed by the three European barbarians not long ago. If the guards were not careful, they might have lost another Eagle Banner number that time. Therefore, Severu, who was forced to do so, went directly to the Military Soul Legion and four super elite legions.
Generally speaking, these three Eagle Flag Legions and Military Soul Legions are not easy to move. Only those who are following the Fourth Eagle Flag are the legions behind the Fourth Eagle Flag, and several of these legions are very capable of fighting.
The Fifth Eagle Flag Legion has no combat effectiveness, the first three legions, the legions once commanded by Anthony, the Ninth Eagle Flag Legion, the legions once commanded by Augustus, the Thirteenth Eagle Flag Legion, and the legions once commanded by Caesar.
These three legions are also very capable, and their combat effectiveness is not inferior to the first three legions. They are basically born at the same time. After the energy of heaven and earth has recovered, these three legions have reached the level of super elite dual talents almost at the same time as the first three Eagle Flag Legions.
This is also one of the important reasons why Gilia led the Thirteenth Eagle Banner Legion. His family had a Roman emperor, and his ancestor Lucius Orelius Kota was Caesar's grandfather. This legion was considered an important supporter of their clan.
"Rome's reaction was quite fast, and he actually occupied the dominant terrain first." Lu Meng looked at the garrison area of Rome on the map and said in awe.
"There is no good way to rest at this little bit. 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 himself had the advantage.
"Hey, why don't we try it?" Li Jue was eager to try it out. Guo Si and Fan Chou were both like this. They haven't done it well for a long time. Inexplicably, they want to rub their hands when they see the enemy.
"No, let's not test it anymore. Although the Romans' garrison terrain is good, it is not the best terrain. I think the other party is more testing it." Zhuge Liang directly rejected Li Jue's proposal. This was a judgment made by a group of people like them, and there was basically no possibility of making mistakes.
Since they are here to test, and they are setting up such a large scale to test, more importantly, the camp is not so cautious. Zhuge Liang and others have basically confirmed that those guys are trying to fight rather than temptations and see if there is any cheaper.
Even Zhuge Liang and others have sent people to the west to find out if there is a second stage Roman camp, because from the perspective of them, the more they look at it, the more they feel that the wave of Rome is just to see if there is a chance to make a fortune.
"Then are we here to see the world, but we just stand here and don't do it. What's the matter?" Li Jue was inexplicably unhappy.
"We must do it, but we need to see the situation, and the Sakura will not let us do it first." Zhuge Liang said with a smile, "They cannot let us intervene in the first battle. After all, they are the main force, we are the guest army, so we cannot do it first."
Li Jue looked helpless. He was really itchy now. To be precise, the troops like Xiliang Iron Cavalry completely rely on combat to maintain their strength, because a large part of their training can only be carried out on the battlefield.
"We helped the Rest men to plunder the formation and there was any conspiracy in the Romans." Zhuge Liang said with a smile, "After all, as far as I know recently, the war between Rome and Rest, in the last hundred years, there is no record of victory in any frontal war."
"Although there are big aspects of this, not only technical and tactics, but also commander issues, but caused by rigid dogmatic combat mode, and now the Sabre has changed its own combat methods, but it may not be completely used to it for a while," Zhuge Liang explained to Li Jue, who believed that Li Jue would definitely understand his words.
"In other words, if Anxi cannot defeat Rome, we will help him resist one or two. If Anxi can defeat Rome, there is nothing to say." Li Jue asked back with displeasure.
"Well, that's about that." Zhuge Liang nodded. In fact, after Zhuge Liang and others saw Anxi's military generals, they felt much more relieved. Although Anxi's general was a little arrogant, their strength was still very reliable.
After all, the attack on Mesopotamia has actually caused thirteen internal energy to leave the body, nine elite legions, and many of them are well-trained, waiting to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy soldiers, and then considering sufficient supplies and grand morale, with a arrogant and cautious veteran Fals Sassan, who is completely unable to see that Anxi has the possibility of losing.
In fact, Zhuge Liang's vision was indeed not wrong. The arrogant behavior of veteran Fals Sassan was just to help boost the confidence of the resting soldiers, and the cautious dispatch of the march was even more to find opportunities for fightership. This was a very powerful veteran.
By the way, the grandson of this veteran, Ardashir, was the general who destroyed the Kushans and the emperor who established the Sassanian Persian dynasty. By the way, the reason why this dynasty was named after the Sassanian was because of the veteran in front of him.
This veteran who was promoted to coach by Vollogis V was he who made their family brilliant, and his son and grandson worked hard to make their family rise successfully, and even had the ability to compete with Rome and destroy Kushan.
Of course, the most important thing is that their family first absorbed the nutrients of Alexis, and there was basically no significant loss, so they established the Sassanian Persian dynasty on the collapsed Alexis.
