Chapter 629: Fars Sassan’s Plot
Although it was outrageous, Ju Yi was shocked for a short time and then it passed.
For the Han Dynasty, this kind of operation is normal.
In the Han Empire, what was advocated was that those who learn from me will live, and those who imitate me will die.
Since Di Qing decided to give it a try, if he succeeded, then even if their army on the western front was defeated, it would be worth it.
An oversized legion can be very intimidating on its own, especially if it can be combined with the command of a large legion.
The chain reaction that would result would bring about a drastic change in the entire thinking of the war.
The Han Dynasty did not prohibit this kind of suicidal behavior at all. In order to achieve the goal, countless double-talented legions were dismantled just to try to achieve that possibility.
What about the Five Schools of the Northern Army and the Three Rivers Cavalry? These stable double-talented legions can be disbanded when they are told to, and can be re-talented when they are told to.
You know, once these legions are formed, they will develop something similar to will, and with this thing, training new recruits will be much faster.
Qualified recruits can even reach normal heights through training.
It is similar to the eagle flag in Rome, which is fixed through some means and then passed down.
But it was different in the Han Dynasty. Times were changing, and the things created by the predecessors were still usable. They could just be repaired and molded into their own shape.
If you don’t like it, change it. If you think it’s inappropriate, change it. No matter whose thing it is, as long as it doesn’t suit your taste, change it.
The result of this was that the Han Dynasty was more likely to produce military gods than any other empire.
Because everyone's path is not fixed, without shackles and without an upper limit, it is sometimes easier to walk your own path.
The traces left by his predecessors are likely to affect his future development.
Of course, for ordinary people, imitation is enough, but for Chinese civilization, surpassing the past is the most worthwhile thing to do.
The general is the courage of the soldiers, and only the Han Dynasty emphasized the personal legion, while other empires emphasized the universal legion.
Similar to the Undead Guards Legion, what is important to them is the legion, and the emphasis is on the Undead Guards Legion Commander.
But on the Han side, it is directly the headquarters of so-and-so.
Of course, no matter how much emphasis is placed, the Han Dynasty's basic troops fought very solidly.
The Wolf Cavalry, Danyang, Shesheng, Changshui, Ruishi...are all frozen legions, all the essence of the Han Dynasty and the Xiongnu after a fierce battle.
However, the Han Dynasty had this elite type of soldier, but it was not popularized and was just used for fun and waste.
If everyone has to practice on their own, to be honest, Xu Huang and Pang De's headquarters may not be as useful as the Central Guards and other fixed-frame legions.
However, the power that these headquarters legions can exert under the leadership of military generals is far stronger than these fixed-frame legions.
There are also more possibilities to reach a higher level.
It is like being the first to ascend the mountain. It is not within the scope of the frozen legion, but it surpasses these frozen legions one step ahead and achieves the military soul.
The big guys never say that they inherited something from someone. They just rely on themselves to do things, regardless of whether they have talent or not, or whether they have theories or not.
With the right combination of will and quality, and by killing a lot on the battlefield, sooner or later the power I pursue will be manifested.
We can come back and summarize it when the time comes.
Therefore, the Han Dynasty generally not only did not prohibit this kind of training method, but also encouraged it.
In previous years, people might have considered costs and other things.
Ever since Liu Ying came to power, the Han army had only one concept: as long as they can't die, they will do it.
Anyway, the court has money and can afford to waste it. As long as I don't engage in corruption, even if I empty a warehouse of supplies in a day, it is still within the permitted range.
Of course you have to gain something. If you just mess around without any gain, you will be thrown into a battlefield to mess around.
Since you want to mess around, I'll give you a stage to do so.
So, in the face of Di Qing's grand plan, Xu Rong sent a letter to the main army and then prepared to start a war with Parthia directly.
…
The number of Parthian troops this time is not too large, but not too small either, but they are all the elite among the elite.
In order to take over all the belongings of the Northern Huns, or to take over the legacy of the Hunnic Empire, Vogysius V was very ruthless. He sent out all the soldiers he could.
At the same time, they also hoped that the war with the Han Dynasty would help certain legions take another step forward, as their time was really too tight.
Vogelius V knew without even thinking that after the Roman civil strife ended, the first target would be Parthia.
How can a newly appointed Roman emperor quickly stabilize his position? That is to attack an old enemy empire. As long as he achieves enough results and gains, the Roman emperor will quickly consolidate his position.
In other words, if Parthia wanted to develop further, Vogels V had to fight Rome and get enough benefits from Rome to revitalize the entire empire.
Although it sounds outrageous, this is the truth.
Just like the Han Dynasty used the Northern Huns to gain merit, Rome and Parthia were the best tools for the other side to gain merit and build the confidence of the empire.
As for who can successfully gain merit, it depends on the methods used by both parties.
Of course, the Han Dynasty did not know how much stakes Vogtius V had placed this time, so it was a big gamble for Vogtius V.
If it succeeded, not only could they acquire the Northern Huns' technology, but they could also acquire their manpower. The two sides would exchange what they had and take off directly.
If they lost, they would not only have to face Rome, but also the Han Dynasty. Fighting on two fronts would mean certain death.
Even by then, Great Britain and Kushan might take advantage of the situation and gain certain benefits from it.
"The Han Dynasty's Xiliang cavalry is heading towards the Dingling people with the new reinforcements. Should we remind them?" Ardashir asked in the camp.
Fars Sasan, who was sitting in the main seat, smiled.
"Ardashir, my dear grandson, tell me, why should we help the Dingling?"
Fars Sassan looked at his slightly overexcited grandson with a smile. Even though the young Ardashir had become the commander of the Royal Guards, he was still a child in his eyes.
Even though this child has surpassed him in strength, he still has not changed his attitude towards his grandson.
"But, Grandpa, aren't they our allies?" The young Ardashir was strong enough, but he knew nothing about the filthiness of the adult world.
"No, my dear grandson, our mission is to open a passage to help our allies, the Northern Huns. As for the Dinglings, they have never been our allies."
Fars Sassan began to try to teach his grandson. He had high hopes for his grandson. He hoped that Ardashir would not only be a simple legion commander, but also a commander.
"Alright, Commander Ardashir, go gather everyone. Since the Han Dynasty has revealed its flaws, there is no reason for us to keep waiting!"
Fars Sassan changed the subject and spoke majestically, and Ardashir's heart immediately sank.
"As you command, General Fars!"
With a command from Fars Sassan, the entire Parthian camp began to move, and all the officers came to the main tent, waiting for Fars Sassan's arrangements.
"I plan to launch a fierce attack on the Han Dynasty tomorrow afternoon. The Undead Guards and Undead King Cavalry will lead the charge, followed by the Holy Fallen Cavalry and Milan Guards. The rest of us will stay in the center and wait for orders. We will do our best in this battle, without any reservations, and attack with the entire army."
Fars Sassan, a veteran with deep knowledge of the ways of war, is a man of both ability and experience.
In the Han Dynasty and Rome, there were also mainstays like Huangfu Song and Penilence.
The only difference is that his grandson Ardashir was much more ambitious. He established the Persian Dynasty, destroyed Parthia, swallowed up Kushan, defeated Rome, and was known as the "King of Kings" and the "Light of the Third Century."
From another perspective, he was also the person who laid the foundation for the founding of the Persian Empire.
"Just send the entire army forward?" Omir was shocked.
"General Sassan, please forgive me for being blunt, but we don't have any information about the Han army, and we can't know the focus of each of the enemy's legions. This can easily cause heavy casualties on our side."
Their current understanding of the Han Dynasty is still only on paper. The only real confrontations they had with the Han Dynasty were the previous encirclement and suppression and the even more distant encirclement and suppression of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry.
Fars Sassan’s decision seemed extremely irrational, even a little crazy, to him.
"You have all seen the Xiliang Iron Cavalry. We don't know the strength of the new reinforcements yet, but judging from the movements of the Han army, they are confident that they will defeat the Dingling troops."
Fars Sassan briefly explained that this was a decision he made after careful consideration.
Unlike people like Omir who focus on preserving strength and winning, Fars Sassan has never focused on this.
His eyes were always focused on one thing, that is, the Military Soul Legion.
Rome's short legs doomed everything. Even if Parthia was destroyed, Rome would not be able to occupy this vast land.
In other words, as long as Parthia can produce a military soul corps, all sacrifices will be worth it, and they will have the capital to make a comeback.
To be honest, Parthia now seems to be thriving.
But in the eyes of veterans such as Fars Sassan, this was just a flash in the pan. All the seemingly powerful troops now were not enough to support Parthia's continuation.
Even the three gifted legions could not completely change their current situation.
Parthia now has only two options. One is to find a way to replicate high-level military forces and pass them on. The other is to have an invincible legion to directly defeat Rome.
To put it simply, what they need is a military soul corps, or a miracle corps like the Yulin Army.
