Chapter 2556 There are only two hundred people at the beginning
Ma Chao turned his head coldly and looked at his camp leader. Thinking about what he had done in the past few months, Ma Chao felt quite incredible.
In short, now riding on the flying sand inside, Ma Chao, who was indifferent to the army, was the commander of the Seventh Eagle Flag Legion of Rome, and was the commander of the legion who was killed by his military achievements. He established his position with his military achievements in the Zagros Channel War several months ago.
As for why the Romans have never thought that Ma Chao was a Han Chinese, on the one hand, he was protected by the Armenian prince Edra. After all, her father was a former Armenian king who was pro-Rome, and he was also the kind of monarch who had always been in sync with Rome.
On the other hand, it is Ma Chao's own problem. Ma Chao himself is a mixed-blood of Han and Qiang, known for his wild beauty, and has a high nose bridge. In addition, he has the same black hair and black eyes. The Romans actually never doubted Ma Chao's origin.
In addition, after Adela had no choice but to show his identity, Ma Chao was considered to be the husband the Armenian king found for his daughter.
Of course, although Ma Chao had his understanding at that time, he still couldn't understand the Romans if he didn't pay attention to it. Although Adra didn't say that clearly, others saw that the princess brought tea to Ma Chao, and there were hints in this regard, all the Romans thought so much.
After all, the descendants of the Romanian kings were almost killed, and Edra was the first heir. Although Edra actually wanted to go to a place where no one was to live by herself, her fate was sometimes so unpredictable.
No matter what, Ma Chao is a handsome guy, and he is also a very strong handsome guy. He has been at a high position. Although he has been in a second-class mode for a long time, he was betrayed by the Qiang people half a year ago, and he happened to be in a melancholy mode.
One is handsome and powerful, and even when he is speechless, he can see a faint sadness in the other party's eyes that reflect the soul. Didn't this just hit the heart of the flower girl?
Although Edra was already seventeen or eighteen years old, when she was in the palace, she met only those vulgar noble sons who had covetousness for him, and were incomparable to handsome men like Ma Chao who were as powerful, handsome as well as the melancholy of life. Edra decisively fell.
Besides, Edra herself did not have a very correct concept of migration at that time. She just wanted to go to an ideal village far away from the world under the protection of her guard Nehemiah.
Although this concept is actually correct, how can I say it? It’s just that before seeing Ma Chao, now when I see Ma Chao, Edra has been shaken. Her natural fragile mentality makes her naturally want to use Ma Chao as a support.
Ma Chao was saved by Edra at that time. Although this guy was a slut, he was still very reliable in some aspects, especially when he was sure that Edra had no malice, he just hoped that Ma Chao could take him to a safe place and stay away from his already captured hometown.
Of course, Ma Chao agreed without hesitation because of the other party's life-saving grace. However, how to say that Ma Chao had never been to Anxi. Although he had a way to go back to the Pamir Mountains, what he did before was too embarrassing, so Ma Chao wanted to calm down.
So he let Li Feisha take her away. Although Edra found out that she was in the wrong direction, Edra, who was already in love at the time, did not care.
The turning point of the matter was when Ma Chao ran around. The envoys sent by the Kushans to Rome left shortly after the Han Dynasty envoys left. However, unlike when they came, this time the Kushan envoys did not want to go to Egypt to take a boat back to Kushan.
The reason they wanted to go on land was very simple. They also wanted to see the war between Rome and Anxu to make a reference for their next development. Severu naturally agreed to this request. After Zhuge Liang and his group left with Jian Yong and others, Severu ordered the three centurions of the Seventh Loyal Legion to take people to protect Kushan from the battlefield by land.
At that time, the war between Rome and Anxu had not become so crazy. The nobles of Anxu were still watching the fun. Ardashir and Atratome were stationed in the Zagros Mountains.
It has to be said that Ardashir is indeed worthy of the glory of the third century and defends against the mountain. Even Severu has no good idea for a while, especially Ardashir successfully seized a truly imperial guard from the Gupatlan family, and the strength of the Zagros defense line began to rise sharply.
Even though the Guupatlan family's Imperial Guards were not guards who were good at defending, but rangers and heavy cavalry known for their mobility and lethality, relying on their own grasp of fighter jets, Ardashir harassed the rear of Rome while defending the defense line tightly.
In the end, Rome could only cut a straight passage from the Zagros Mountains while blocking Ardashir as much as possible.
This method is no longer a solution that wisdom can resist. Even Ardashire can only watch Rome's plan to penetrate the Zagros Mountains and advance day by day.
This feeling is like a person who fell into the water holding the last rope tightly, but someone is cutting it off bit by bit. Even Arda Hill can't stand the feeling of the empire being pushed to the doomsday little by bit.
However, after leaving the Zagros Mountains, Ardashire was unable to fight against Rome at all. This place can be defended by the mountains or by the danger. With the advantage of the advantage of the land, Ardashire could barely fight. However, even if Ardashire was born king, he would have no choice but to face the Romans who now occupy the general trend.
Therefore, Ardashir had only one choice, that is, to mobilize the nobles, chiefs, and city-states east of the Zagros Range. He did not believe that there were no smart people among these people and could not see the current situation.
This is also why even the nobles in the easternmost part of Anxi have led their troops to rescue. Although Aldashire failed to defend the Zagros Mountains, Aldashire's advance arrangements have given Anxi a glimmer of hope.
However, at that time the Romans also tried to bypass the Zagros Mountains from other places and enter the eastern plateau of Aquila, and the total war between Rome and Aquila started at that time.
Although Ardashire wanted to stop this situation, he also understood that only this war across the Zagros Mountains could awaken the nobles in the east, what kind of enemy they were facing.
In this situation where Ardashire was half free and half helpless, some regular Roman troops successfully crossed the Zagros Mountains, and chaos east of the Zagros Mountains began.
It was also at this time that Ma Chao successfully reached the position of commander of the legion.
Let’s talk about that day, Ma Chao randomly killed a group of opponents who were unknown, and his inner aggrievance was relieved again. However, the frequent occurrence of chaos in recent times made Ma Chao know that he could not continue running, and he was preparing to take Edra back to the Pamir Mountains with him.
Although Ma Chao was still angry and did not vent his anger, Ma Chao still couldn't do such a thing as joking about the life of his savior.
"Cho, do you like to kill enemies?" I have to say that Edra is quite powerful. After only a month, she could barely communicate with Ma Chao in sign language and stuttering Chinese. Of course, Ma Chao also saw this girl's thoughts.
After all, Edra did not hide her intentions at all. Compared with the openness of the Han Dynasty in the Central Plains, Armenia was even more overwhelmed, so naturally she fell in love with it, just liked it.
"Apart from drinking the enemy's blood on the battlefield, I can no longer express my grief and anger!" Ma Chao roared in grief, but this sentence was too difficult for Edra, so that Edra could only look at Ma Chao's Yan Yi and smiled in a daze.
"It means I didn't say anything to you." Ma Chao rolled his eyes and pulled Edra who was smirking, "Kill another day, after fighting this fight, I'll take you home to get married!"
Although this girl looks stupid, Ma Chao, who was betrayed just now, was in a time when he needed a silly sweet comfort. Adela even spoke Chinese, but when facing Ma Chao, he was really stupid and sweet.
However, before the day was over, Ma Chao encountered more than 200 Roman infantrymen surrounded and suppressed by about 300 Rangers, and of course the Kushan envoys.
Because his father was pro-Rome, Edra hurriedly asked Ma Chao to save the people. Ma Chao saved the group of people and received a thank-you gift from the Kushan envoy, which is the bead he knew about. Only then did Ma Chao clearly know Edra's identity.
"Is this Super? Mamikonian." Edra introduced that Ma Chao didn't want to reveal his identity. He just wanted to kill some enemies and vent his anger. What's the point of being called "does not matter". After that, the matter will go away, and hide his merits and fame. Well, that's the attitude.
Therefore, Ma Chao pretended to be indifferent. The Kushan envoy had been cheated and decisively gave up on land. On the current land route, there was no protection from the legion, so he had to choose to cross the Zagros Mountains again.
Ma Chao was not interested in such things, but Edra finally communicated with Ma Chao and realized that Ma Chao was a natural warrior. For himself, Edra, who had already been tempted to restrain Ma Chao from leaving here, could not do anything like this.
Therefore, Edra asked Ma Chao for help in his own name, and Ma Chao himself proposed to go back to his hometown to get married only to take care of Edra's emotions. Now that Edra is willing to stay here, Ma Chao, who had long wanted to kill a lot, naturally agreed.
