Chapter 218: Rest of the Unfortunate
Jiang Wei watched Huo Qubing and the Yulin Army running wildly for several days, and finally couldn't help but ask.
"Champion Marquis, where are we going?"
"I don't know, but I smell the scent of a large number of Hun troops gathering!" Huo Qubing said firmly. Idealism was reflected in him vividly and exquisitely at this moment. I feel that I can find it, and I can find it.
Jiang Wei covered his face, silently calmed down and continued to feel Huo Qubing's idealist system. Because he started to analyze directly from the person himself, the progress was quite fast. Even Huo Qubing was surprised at Jiang Wei's growth.
After all, Jiang Wei was a man known as the young genius, and his talent in warfare was beyond reproach. Now that he had met a famous teacher, he naturally felt like a fish in water and made rapid progress.
Thanks to the various small legions encountered along the way, the Yulin Army had plenty of food and fodder. After all, encountering a Yulin Army team in the wild would not end well.
Huo Qubing led the Yulin Army and ran on the plain at the normal speed of a white horse for several days, and finally arrived at the place that Huo Qubing sensed.
What made Jiang Wei feel a little suffocated was that there were substantial clouds floating over the battlefield in the distance. It was obvious at a glance that the scale of the battlefield was definitely no less than one million people, and it was definitely the direct battlefield between Parthia and Rome.
"Marquis Guanjun, are the Huns you mentioned here?" Jiang Wei felt uneasy as he looked at Huo Qubing, who showed no sign of changing his mind.
That's a huge battlefield with hundreds of thousands or even millions of people. Wouldn't it be courting death if only one legion rushed in?
In fact, there was nothing wrong with the place Huo Qubing was looking for. The place in front of them was exactly the capital of Parthia, Ctesiphon.
The previous action of Parthia and the Huns joining forces to drive Rome away angered Rome. The Parthia, which they had originally regarded as a ready meal, seemed to have revived again, which was a bit unacceptable to them. Several Eagle Flag Legions originally stationed in Rome, along with various auxiliary legions , ran over through the convenient passage of the Mediterranean.
The Huns finally began to retreat. They just wanted to get food from the Parthians to feed their people. They didn't want to fight to the death with the great empire. Otherwise, they would have gone back to the prairie and fought to the death with the Han Dynasty. Why would they travel thousands of miles to such a place to be provoked?
The Huns began to slack off and were not willing to fight to the death, especially when Rome lost several eagle flags stationed in Africa to the front battlefield, the situation in Parthia took a sharp turn for the worse.
Rome sent in nearly eleven Eagle Legions. It should be noted that Rome only deployed fifteen Eagle Legions on the battlefield in Great Britain.
Although most of the legions on the Parthian battlefield were ranked lower, there were still some Eagle Flag Legions that were ranked higher, such as the Third Eagle Flag, Seventh Eagle Flag, Ninth Eagle Flag, Twelfth Eagle Flag, and Thirteenth Eagle Flag.
You must know that no matter how weak the Roman Eagle Flag Legion is, it is always backed by double-talented elite troops, or even a legion at the level of the Royal Guards, coupled with countless barbarian auxiliary legions. The scale of a million is still the reason why the Roman Senate stopped mobilizing troops because it was worried that it would directly crush the Parthian Empire.
The Roman Parliament was still very conflicted. The wealth of Parthia was a good choice for them, but the problem of the barbarians was difficult to deal with.
However, the Roman Senate could not clarify the issue between citizens and barbarians, and could only comply with the Eagle Legion's request for war, restricting the deployment of troops while praying for peace and honor.
If all else fails, they can attack the Kushan Empire. After all, the Kushan Empire is also an empire. Although the distance is too far, it is still entirely possible to fight a low-intensity war and consume the barbarians.
However, it may be really difficult to mobilize the enthusiasm of the barbarians by attacking the Kushans. After all, the Kushans are not Parthia, and there is no feud between Rome and the Kushans. The barbarians are not fools, and not many of them will take the bait.
If the population ratio problem cannot be resolved, Rome will sooner or later be defeated by the barbarians.
As for Great Britain, which is against them, they really don't dare to cause trouble.
On the battlefield of Great Britain, the barbarians are a little unreliable. After all, the opponents are also barbarians. If they are not handled properly, there may be traitors among them. If the troops are defeated by the barbarians at that time, the Romans will be in trouble.
On the battlefield of Great Britain, Rome relied more on local citizens, Christian Crusaders, and the Eagle Legion as the main force , and the Barbarian Legion as an auxiliary to deal with the United Empire of Great Britain.
Over there, they dare not try any tricks like letting the barbarians occupy 80% of the total number. If they are swept back, they might have to repeat the scene of the Senate being burned down in Rome.
Compared with the Roman military strength, the Parthian side seemed extremely shabby. Apart from a military soul, a royal guard, and three double-talented full-strength legions provided by the lazy Huns, the Parthians only had the Parthian royal cavalry and a royal guard, and the rest were all double-talented legions.
Again, the Parthian Empire was not without guards. The Undead Guards led by Yupal were the most vivid example. Even when the main battlefield had reached Ctesiphon, the Undead Guards were still in the wild killing the European barbarians who had sneaked in and the various rebel forces who had taken advantage of the chaos to revolt.
You can't say that the Undead Guards didn't contribute to the country, but compared to the crisis of the imminent fall of Ctesiphon, the Undead Guards' achievements seem more like a perfunctory effort.
It's not just the Esfandyar family, the same is true for several other big families. Each family has a royal guard, but they are unwilling to send them to the main battlefield, for fear that something might happen to their own guards, and then the family would be swallowed up by others.
Logically speaking, if Rome really flew all thirty-three eagle flags to the Parthian battlefield, then even if Parthia evolved into the Parthian Empire on the spot it would still be dead, and at most its death would be delayed.
The eight guards of Parthia combined are useless. The lack of military spirit has always been the Achilles' heel of Parthia.
In terms of top-level combat power, Anxi is really lacking. There are no miracles, no military souls, and no three talents. Even among the Royal Guards, there is only one light cavalry guard who is completely obedient and is suppressed to death by the Roman infantry.
Despite heavy disadvantages, the Romans arrived at the city and surrounded Ctesiphon. If the Hun legions had not been constantly roaming outside, they would have smashed all their legions against the walls of Ctesiphon.
"It's on the other side. It's not easy to get around!" Huo Qubing said indifferently.
"Military soul? Hun military soul!!" But when Huo Qubing felt the familiar fluctuations, he quickly entered a state of excitement.
"Wow, wow, Marquis Guanjun, you don't want to go straight through, do you?" Jiang Wei was a little overwhelmed. Should he be so provocative? There were millions of people fighting on the battlefield. Miracles were not gods, and they would be destroyed by the pressure of the clouds.
"The Yulin Army carries the will of the Han Empire. Once the Xiongnu Army senses it, they will definitely run away. Only with the help of the clouds can we catch them!"
Meeting the Huns' military spirit obviously put Huo Qubing in a good mood. Facing Jiang Wei's questions, he gave a rare explanation. Before, he had completely ignored Jiang Wei's opinion on commanding the Yulin Army to fight.
After all, in Huo Qubing's cognition, except for his uncle Wei Qing, no one else is worthy of supporting him in military affairs, so how could he listen to other people's opinions?
