Chapter 1023: The Response of the Han Legions
The victory news from Parthia and Rome was obtained by intelligence personnel from the Han Dynasty and then passed on to various forces.
Looking at the sorted fragments of the picture, the commanders of all the Han army corps became solemn.
Since Yijing has decided to attack Parthia, the combat effectiveness of the Parthian legion has become the most worthy of attention.
In just a few years, Parthia's transformation is truly astonishing.
"Lao Guo, Lao Zhang, Lao Fan, how many do you think we can beat?"
Looking at the battle report and the secret images made by the immortals, Li Jue, who was in Beigui, asked with some excitement.
"You mean over there?" Fan Chou looked solemn. Although he also believed that the Divine Iron Cavalry was invincible, both the Parthian Legion and the Roman Legion should not be underestimated.
Both sides are real elites. Even though they killed seven people at the mountain pass, they were all pseudo-third-talented ones.
It is far inferior to the real three-talent military soul.
Or in other words, the Kushan military spirit can fight against their strongest state with a bunch of guards.
Ardashir and others are now a real top elite army. If a real fight breaks out, it is hard to say what their chances of winning are.
Of course, the chance of winning refers to one against many. If two legions fight one-on-one, the Divine Iron Cavalry will not take any of them seriously.
"Of course it's Parthia. Rome is our potential !" Guo Si rolled his eyes.
"If four of them attack us together, they will probably kill us!" Zhang Ji said with a sigh.
"The Iron Pagoda Legion is not a big problem for us. If Atratome fights us head-on, we have about an 80% chance of winning. Their biggest trick is something we can handle head-on."
Li Que recalled the legion in the image, simulated it in his mind, and then spoke.
"As for the rest..." Li Que fell into silence.
"That Mongolian cavalry is the soul of the Xiongnu army!" Fan Chou added, "It probably won't be our turn to fight them. Those bastards in the Yulin Army won't give this legion to us!"
"Yulin Army..." Guo Si had a constipated expression on his face. When they stepped into the miracle and then experienced the miracle's decline, they understood the nature of the Yulin Army.
It turns out that the Yulin Army was just teasing them before. If a real fight breaks out, they might be massacred.
This is no longer a question of strength or not, but the innate strength of the Yulin Army in the Han Dynasty.
In any era when the will of the empire is revealed, fighting against the Yulin Army is tantamount to fighting against the Han Empire.
No wonder Huangfu Song always looked strange every time he told them about Dou Xian. It turned out that he had known about this kind of thing for a long time.
Back then they did not have enough knowledge and did not understand, but now they understand. Dou Xian was a famous general who defeated the Huns and Shi Le of Yanran.
There are only two recorded shining legions in the history of the Han Dynasty. The first one was the champion marquis Huo Qubing, and the second one was Dou Xian.
But Emperor He of Han said to kill them, so they were killed. They didn’t understand it then, but they understand it now.
The Yulin Army is simply invincible when it comes to fighting internal strife. As long as there is a reliable monarch, all internal troubles can be quelled.
As for foreign enemies, at that time, except for the Huns, they were all trash.
Ban Chao could defeat the Kushan army with just a few men from the Western Regions, which shows how powerful the Han Dynasty was back then.
No wonder Dou Xian and his Miracle Legion failed to turn the tables. He was directly stripped of his military power and then sentenced to death.
Therefore, whenever the Yulin Army was mentioned, Li Que and others would have a look of gloom on their faces. They were inherently restrained, so there was no point in them fighting .
"What about Ardashir!" Zhang Ji decisively changed the subject. They could not understand the bug-ridden army like the Yulin Army at all. But since they were not committing treason, there was no point in discussing the Yulin Army.
"It would be a bit difficult if the opponent is fully staffed, but if it's not fully staffed, then let it be!"
Li Que said casually that he had met Ardashir, and that the young man had now grown to the same level as them, which was really amazing.
"On the Roman side , only that fanatic seems to be a bit threatening. It's hard to say about Fourteen's infinite transformation, but none of them are good enough for a head-on fight!"
Li Que thought about it and directly belittled all the legions. He was not talking about tactics or anything, he simply looked down on these legions.
Except for the Iron Pagoda and the Mongolian Cavalry, all others were defeated by the Shesheng Camp. The legion of Attolamei was indeed very powerful, but Shesheng could only exchange one for one at best.
If it is a first-strike attack beyond visual range, maybe you can get free damage.
As for the Holy Fallen Knight, it is even more so. The attack power is at its maximum, but the defense power is too poor.
The will arrows can still hold up, but the physical arrows can stun the Holy Meteorite Riders.
The Iron Pagoda and the Mongolian Iron Cavalry, both of which were obviously the Xiongnu legions, naturally could not have the defect of being suppressed to death by the sound of gunfire.
The gap in foundation between the two sides is obvious. The Han Dynasty, the Huns and Rome do not have this problem, but Shengyun and the Parthian Divine Cavalry have some problems.
Although the combat capability is indeed strong, it always seems a little powerless when facing a big gangster like Shesheng.
However, the image did give them a great shock. Not only was the Han Dynasty getting stronger, but Parthia and Rome were also getting stronger. As Li Que and others had participated in the First Mesopotamian War, they could hardly understand the current strength of Rome and Parthia.
Especially Parthia, whose strength is soaring like a rocket.
In contrast, the combat capability of the Han Dynasty seemed to have stagnated in recent years. Since defeating the Huns, except for the legions on the Nangui battlefield, other legions did not seem to have made much progress.
Of course, this was also caused by the special method used by the Han Dynasty to train the Imperial Guards. The ancient method was slow to take effect and had a solid foundation, so the strength of the legions stationed in the northern border and guarding the Bering Strait improved very slowly.
During the Hulao Pass period, there were double talents. Yuwen Chengdu's Xiaoguo Army, Xue Rengui's Xue Family Army... and other legions did not make much progress.
But Li Que also understood that what these people lacked was a war. By then, each of them would surely ascend to another level, and maybe one or two people with third-level talents would emerge.
War is always a stepping stone for military advancement.
However, Sima Yi was more concerned about the Roman barbarian legions. Sima Yi, who had some knowledge of Rome, was shocked.
The combat effectiveness displayed by the Roman barbarians was completely beyond the standard, and this excess was not the exquisite command ability displayed by the large legion commanders like the Han Dynasty, but a very simple and crude legion strength.
Every barbarian legion is a real elite. What is even more terrifying is Rome's attitude towards using these barbarians. They don't care at all, as if such barbarians are inexhaustible.
When Sima Yi and his men planned the war, they had to consider the casualties to some extent. After all, a tragic victory was also a loss for the Han Dynasty.
The life and soul of every soldier are the precious cornerstones of the Han Dynasty. Once the losses are too great, it is very likely that they will fall into a vicious circle and will be unable to continue the expansion process.
The lesson of the Thirty-Six Kingdoms in the Western Regions was fresh in Sima Yi's mind. He was very sure that if the Han Dynasty went to war with empires such as Rome and Parthia, both sides would end up suffering losses.
Those jumping clowns will definitely jump out from the shadows. If they cannot be suppressed with thundering means at that time, the current vast territory will become the most terrible quagmire of war.
But Rome seemed different. Sima Yi's wisdom had already seen the problem. The barbarians in Rome were just like the Hu people in those years. In the upper echelons of Rome, they were like leeks and grass and could be harvested over and over again.
However, Sima Yi, who had seen through the problem, felt that Rome was even more terrifying. Such a large number of Roman barbarians actually obeyed the Roman nobles. There was no doubt that the strength of the Roman nobles was at least greater than or equal to the combined strength of these barbarians.
"Could there be thirty-three with three talents? No wonder such a strong Parthia was beaten back to Ctesiphon, and that guy Kong Ming was directly hospitalized due to injuries. It turns out that Rome is so powerful?" Sima Yi felt a little heavy.
"Is Rome deliberately reducing the number of barbarians?"
Such a powerful empire was not good news for the Han Dynasty. Although the world was big, it could not accommodate two empires. This was not a joke, but a lesson engraved in the bones of the Han Dynasty.
In fact, Sima Yi was thinking too much. On the one hand, Rome had many internal problems, and on the other hand, Parthia's rise was very short.
The information asymmetry and the fact that Zhuge Liang was once seriously injured and in danger of having his skull opened made Sima Yi fall into conspiracy theories.
Although he didn't say it, Sima Yi was the one who recognized Zhuge Liang the most.
However, after Sima Yi got all the information, he wished he could beat himself to death. He was actually affected by Zhuge Liang's serious injury and was frightened by the empire he had created.
That's right, if Rome was really that powerful, why would it waste its energy on barbarians?
Besides, even the Han Dynasty couldn’t gather thirty-three three-talented ones, let alone Rome.
Yue Fei, who received the battle report at Congling, frowned and thought for a long time.
Then he called in his adjutant, Gao Chong. Just as he had promised, Gao Chong is now the commander of the Beiwei Army, and he is more responsible for battlefield command.
"What do you think? Fengshan? Tell me what you think!" Although Yue Fei was the commander of a large army, he also attached great importance to his strongest army.
After all, having a top-level legion that can break through can make many commands easier.
Just like someone as strong as Han Xin, facing the Miracle Legion, he still needs a legion that can hold out for three hours and a quarter to complete the siege.
Every path taken to the extreme will have a certain status in other levels.
As the saying goes, if you understand one law, you will understand all laws.
Just like Lu Bu, who has reached the limit of his military strength, he can defeat the super elite with just ordinary elite troops.
"Each legion is difficult to deal with!" Gao Chong looked through it and was shocked. The world is indeed big, and there are so many such elite troops.
"Haha, Fengshan, you still don't know enough about the Beiwei Army!" Yue Fei pointed at the Iron Pagoda with a smile.
"This legion will be our best breakthrough point!"
A gleam of light flashed in Yue Fei's eyes. He had not expected that a legion like the Iron Pagoda would appear. At that time, the chances of attacking Parthia would increase by 10%.
Defeating a super elite force head-on on the battlefield would cause the Parthian side's morale to plummet significantly.
This will be a key factor in their victory.
"Pengju, I don't understand. This legion should be the most difficult to deal with!" Gao Chong frowned and thought for a long time, but still didn't understand what Yue Fei meant.
The battlefield survivability of the Iron Pagoda is almost that of a slightly smaller Xiliang Iron Cavalry. When this kind of legion confronts heavy infantry like the Beiwei Army, it is not easy to determine the winner, but basically they can only fight a messy battle, like wrestling in the mud.
And who knows, the opponent might be able to gain the upper hand by taking advantage of the momentum of the charge.
"Hahaha, could it be that Fengshan has forgotten the cavalry led by Yue Yun!" Yue Fei smiled.
"You mean..." Gao Chong was stunned. He had always regarded the infantry led by himself and the cavalry led by Yue Yun as two legions.
But in fact, in Yue Fei's plan, these two legions were the same Beiwei Army, or the combination of the two was the elite Beiwei Army he had in mind.
"But..." Gao Chong still frowned. He still couldn't figure out how to quickly defeat the Iron Pagoda.
"It seems that it is time to combine the two legions for training!" Yue Fei looked at Gao Chong, who had a frown on his face, and smiled, intending to combine the two legions for training.
The war is approaching, so it is better to be prepared by doing some preparations in advance.
"Iron Pagoda! You will be my best breakthrough point!" Yue Fei's face was full of confidence, and he had even thought about how to target Iron Pagoda in his mind.
At that time, as long as he revealed a stage on the battlefield suitable for the Iron Pagoda to charge, the Iron Pagoda would rush forward like a moth to a flame, and then be directly defeated by the Beiwei Army.
"Jin Wushu... I hope you won't let me down!" Yue Fei looked at Jin Wushu in the battle report with a bright smile on his face.
As for the Yulin Army who received the battle report, they simply threw it away and began to accelerate the assault training of the Sun Cavalry.
At that time, they will definitely go find the Mongolian cavalry. This legion is obviously the soul of the Huns' army and must die. They are not confident in letting others go, and only they can completely kill the opponent by going themselves.
Last time, I actually let the opponent run away, this time I must make him die.
Zhang Yu's gaze lingered on Ardashir for a moment. Others could not see it, but he could see it at a glance that compared with other legions, this legion had performed a miracle.
Although it is with the help of external force, it has been achieved before, and maybe it will break through again in the future. However, it is not certain. After all, miracles are not something that can be achieved just by wanting to. It is normal that it will be stuck at the threshold in the future.
"Keep fighting! How can you protect the general if you are so weak?" Zhang Yu just took a look at it and threw it away. Even if it broke through, it would only be a threat, not a big trouble.
In comparison, the Sun Knights who were stuck at the peak of the Royal Guards were the real trouble. They also didn't understand why the Sun Knights couldn't break through to the third talent.
Even if he was a pig and got beaten every day, he should have learned something from them, but the Sun Knight made no progress.
It's not that there is no weapon at all, it's just that it's becoming more and more durable. But how can a cavalry unit become more and more durable?
Do we all have to change our jobs and become cavalrymen?
I heard that the Iron Cavalry became a miracle. Do you want to join the Iron Cavalry and become a miracle in a roundabout way?
