Chapter 1055: Galloping Chariots
"Bloom! Sun God!"
Pompeianus looked with heartache at the sun priest who was set on fire and thrown into the sky. What was set on fire was not only the believers of the sun god, but also the Roman treasury.
Do you really think that you can summon a ball of light to illuminate the battlefield by just clicking on a priest? A lot of auxiliary materials are needed.
It can be said that every order of that thing is burning money.
However, Pompeianus also knew that this thing was indispensable, so he could only accept it.
For the sake of greater benefits, it is worth investing a little in advance, Pompeianus kept comforting himself.
"Consciousness connected!" After simply sorting out his feelings, Pompianus also connected his mental power with that of others.
In this kind of imperial battlefield, everyone has to play their best role.
At the same time, the Han people who were resting on the spot were awakened by the sudden whitening of the sky. The secret techniques of the Roman Empire were generally known for being simple, crude and effective, and they truly illuminated the area within a radius of hundreds of miles.
"Just throw it at the sun, this method is quite novel!" Yue Fei began to comment subconsciously.
"Marshal Yue, be careful with your words!" Li Ru glanced at Yue Fei with a little dissatisfaction. The Han Dynasty had its own national conditions, and the sun now referred to something special in the Han Dynasty.
"Hehe, no problem. Let those people study it when we get back. This method is indeed worth learning from!" Guo Hao waved his hand.
"But if it's just for lighting, it doesn't seem to be very meaningful. Why don't we build one in Luoyang and call it the City That Never Sleeps Luoyang?"
Guo Hao said casually and called a Sun Cavalry soldier to ask about the results.
"Can you feel the blessing effect?" Guo Hao was surprised when asked. If this thing could feel the blessing effect, it could be used at night when he is not there, and the shortcomings of the Sun Knight would be made up.
"Well, I remember that Roman Eagle Flag came up with something last time. Let's see if we can add this method to it. If the Sun Knight is paired with this thing, it seems to work!"
Guo Hao thought about it instantly, and there was naturally an official responsible for recording it, who wrote down Guo Hao's thoughts in a book.
"Hmm, if I feel it carefully, it seems to be a sun god!" Guo Hao narrowed his eyes. If it is the sun god, then it is worth paying attention to. Devouring this kind of god will bring many benefits to the Three-legged Golden Crow.
"Report to the General! The troops have assembled!" Yue Fei suddenly bowed and reported.
"Pengju, this battle is left to you. You can command everyone, including me!" Guo Hao nodded and directly delegated the highest power to Yue Fei.
"Thank you, General, for your trust!"
Upon hearing this, Yue Fei clasped his fists in thanks, then began to issue orders in an orderly manner. The war had just begun, and now was not the time for them to intervene.
On the other side, as the white light illuminated the area within a radius of hundreds of miles, the speed at which the Roman soldiers organized their troops began to increase significantly. After all, no matter how good their vigilance and training were, their vision at night was obviously limited, and humans were creatures that moved during the day and hid at night after all.
Even if everyone is a superman now, it is difficult for them to change their nature.
However, the same is true for Parthia. Having rested more fully, they can perform better in daytime.
Vogts V walked out of the city gate and stared at the ball of light in the sky. He couldn't help but sigh. Even though he guessed that Rome definitely had the ability to turn night into day, such a big move was beyond Vogts V's estimation. It was really too magnificent.
Killing gods and offering sacrifices to heaven, this kind of great power is worthy of admiration at any time.
"It's really amazing. Should we say it's worthy of Rome?" Vogelius V looked up at the ball of light above his head with a slight sigh.
"But we won't lose!"
As Vogyses V finished his words, the Parthian clouds that were originally spread out in the sky and seemed extremely thick suddenly rolled up, and began to form Parthia's strategic secret method according to the direction of the flow of the Parthian advisers' mental power.
"Let us burn the damn future and burn out the bright tomorrow of Parthia!"
Vogelgis V roared, maximizing his own monarchical talents, and illusory flames burst out from his body.
As the monarchical talent of Vogygis V blossomed, the rolling clouds in the sky suddenly began to burn illusively, as if the entire world had turned into a furnace.
In an instant, the Parthian army, which had been lined up in battle array and as powerful as a dragon, suddenly became so powerful that even the wind was filled with an aura of iron, blood and murderous intent.
The Romans also saw the churning of Parthian clouds, but they did not feel anything special. At this point, Parthia would definitely use whatever tricks it had. Rome would feel strange if it did not have some large-scale strategic secrets.
However, Penilence frowned imperceptibly. You know, the outward momentum is actually the result of the combination of essence, energy and spirit.
The stronger the momentum, the stronger the combat effectiveness. The momentum shown by Parthia now has undoubtedly surpassed Rome, and this is just the beginning.
The difficulty of Parthia once again increased by several percentage points in his mind. The combination of spirit, energy and soul will not lie. This Parthian army fighting a desperate battle will be very strong!
"But we Romans are stronger!" Perennis looked at the Parthian army in the light and shadow, with a slight smile on his face.
"Let the Senate Guards start their military spirit, and let Parthia understand what the real Roman Empire is!"
Penelunus was just wary, but not afraid at all. Parthia had not fought the real Roman Empire for too long. It was time for Parthia to remember the true fear of Rome.
After receiving the news, the commander of the Parliament Guard raised his battle flag immediately.
A brilliant light burst out from the flag, covering the entire Roman legion in front of Parthia. All the soldiers, from the Roman emperor's guard corps to the barbarian army, were enveloped by this brilliant light.
"Glory to Rome!"
The military soul ability of the Parliament Guards. As an auxiliary military soul, the combat effectiveness of the Parliament Guards is only at the bottom, but just like the Kushan Imperial Scepter, its significance to the army far exceeds that of conventional combat-type military souls.
The Roman main camp's momentum was so overwhelming that it overwhelmed the Parthians.
The momentum of the two sides' back and forth attack amazed everyone in the Han Dynasty. It was worthy of being an imperial battlefield, and it was so exciting right after the war began.
"Auxiliary military soul, how great!" Guo Hao narrowed his eyes. This is a type that the Han Empire does not have.
Although they have the ultimate Xuanxiang military formation, which can achieve the same effect, what you don't have is the best.
The Han Empire still wanted a military soul like this. It would be a bit too weird to have so many military souls of the combat type.
The only two forces in the entire Han Empire that could be related to amplification were the Xiliang Iron Cavalry against the Qiang Cavalry, and the Yulin Army. Neither of them had universal applicability, and were very different from the Parliament Guards, a military spirit that specialized in auxiliary services.
Moreover, Han Xin, Bai Qi and others had no idea about this, and there has been no progress so far.
However, Wei Qing's awakening is good news. As a military god who also possesses an auxiliary military soul in historical records, he will surely bring them surprises in the future.
Uppal sensed something was wrong when Rome was overwhelming Parthia, but in a decisive battle of this magnitude, it would be impossible to withdraw once entering the battlefield. Moreover, as a chariot was already running, even if it did not reach its maximum speed, it would be a dream to turn around.
Moreover, this is the final decisive battle. If even the commander-in-chief cannot fight to the death, how can his soldiers fight to the death?
In this case, he might as well keep charging. Since he stepped onto the chariot, or should I say since the meeting, Upal has been thinking that he is going to die. Since he is already prepared for death, what is there to be afraid of?
"Burn the sky with anger!"
Vogelgis V bestowed his power on Upal, and illusory flames burned violently from the bodies of all the soldiers.
His monarchical talent, coupled with the flames of the burning clouds of the entire army, can awaken the inner will to the greatest extent, and then begin to burn, producing a blessing effect.
With the help of their secret techniques, they can project the will of the soldiers in the back half of the army who did not participate in the battle onto the soldiers in the front who broke through.
But Vogelgis V was somewhat sad. The flame on Upal's body was much weaker than that of others, and his will for revenge was extremely weak.
"Are you completely determined to die? General Upal, goodbye!"
Vogelgis V felt somewhat sad. No matter what, Upal and the chariot corps, who were at the forefront today, were doomed to die.
"Go, rush over and crush them!"
Following Upal's roar, the chariot troops that were originally at the front instantly accelerated.
As a special legion of the Zeke family, one of the seven great nobles, they used to be a chariot legion. After all, the plains like the Mesopotamian region are very suitable for the use of chariots. There are no obstacles, and they can be said to be invincible when charging forward.
"Bloom, Abyss of the Heart!" Upal roared and opened his own mind reflection. He didn't know why an old guy like himself could open such a thing.
He didn't care about these. He just wanted to atone his sins and complete his atonement to the Parthian Empire.
He was the first of the seven nobles to turn to Li Ru. The so-called family members were all killed, which was just a cover-up arrangement by Li Ru.
He could have left with them, but he ultimately chose to live and die with Parthia, and entrusted the future of his family to Li Ru. He was also a hostage used by Li Ru to restrain him.
He was not afraid of death, nor was he opposed to sacrificing himself for his country, but his originally hard heart completely collapsed after seeing his grandson who was only a few days old.
So he chose to side with the Han Empire, and at the critical moment, he changed Parthia's strategy to fight a desperate battle with Rome in exchange for the safety of his family.
This strategy cannot be considered wrong, because Parthia had only two choices: fight to the death with Rome or engage in guerrilla warfare against the Han Dynasty.
At the critical moment, he pushed the strategy towards a desperate fight with Rome.
This is exactly how Li Ru and Jia Xu controlled people's hearts. The Han Dynasty and Parthia were not the biggest enemies. Using this, they influenced more than just Upal.
The seven major nobles of Parthia were not a united front. They had always been scheming against each other in the past. One family even fell in the internal strife and was annexed by the royal family represented by Vogyps V.
Even if they were forced to reunite under Rome's pressure, they were destined to be unable to work together, as everyone had his own little plans.
However, all they did was entrust their affairs to others and then chose to live and die with Ctesiphon.
At this moment, Upal, who was charging at the front, had only one thought in mind, which was to fight his way out and let the chariot of destruction shine with absolute brilliance once again.
"Come on, let's fight. In this battle, either you die or I die!"
Upal raised his spear and axe and roared, his heart abyss opened to the limit, catalyzing his will to fight to the death to the extreme, continuously transforming it into the power to fight.
The power that he once thought he would never be able to control in his lifetime was now in his hands, but Upal did not feel the slightest sense of security. However, he did not need such a sense of security.
The Upal Tank Corps, which had already reached its limit, suddenly became more and more powerful, as if it had crossed a barrier.
At the same time, the Roman camp gate was opened directly, and more than a thousand chariots on both sides roared out from the camp gate.
How can we not guard against chariots in a place like a plain? Any commander with military knowledge will not let down his guard against chariots.
But to be honest, this kind of thing is really hard to guard against. Apart from modifying the terrain, other methods will have no obvious effect as long as the terrain is still flat.
However, there are many restrictions on modifying the terrain, and it may even affect Rome itself, so Rome simply simplified the problem and used chariots against chariots!
Come on, let's fight head-on. Anyway, the core of the chariot is the charging cattle and horses and the chariot. If you put them together casually, it will be a destructive machine. Even if there is no talent, it will not be a problem to fight against a double-talented legion.
They didn't have many Roman cavalry troops, but they had plenty of spare cattle and horses.
In that case, then come on, use chariots to fight chariots, and exchange them directly. It is worth it to exchange ten chariots for one of yours.
Thousands of chariots roared out and launched an attack directly towards Upal under the command of the Roman barbarian army. The Romans only wanted to stop Upal.
The biggest reason why chariots disappeared from the stage of history is that they were completely defeated by the mobility of cavalry.
Once the charge begins, even turning will be difficult, and it is easy to be defeated by cavalry from behind.
Even if the cavalry loses its speed, it will be quickly strangled by the infantry.
Therefore, Rome built a bunch of junk chariots, intending to use the wreckage of these chariots and pile them up to force Upal to stop.
However, Rome had not changed its military system for a very long time, and the various Eagle Flag Legions were basically fixed, with few fundamental changes occurring.
This also led to the fact that Rome had not seen a chariot corps of the level of the Praetorian Guard for nearly a hundred years.
They knew nothing about the chariot corps at the level of the Royal Guards, or even about the chariot corps with double talents.
After all, Rome would not go to the trouble of equipping the barbarians with chariots, giving them the power to resist them.
