Chapter 1036 Despair in Hope(1/2)

Severus came with his army.

Parthia discovered Severus, or in other words, Severus didn't even think about hiding it and directly raised his flag.

Well, it’s not important that he’s here. What’s important is that Severus brought the Army Soul Legion, the Three Talented Elites, the Fourth Legion of the Lucky, the Fifth Skylark Legion, the Sixth Triumph Legion, the Ninth Spanish Legion, and the Tenth Knight Legion.

, the 11th Sacrificial Legion, the 12th Thunder Legion, the 14th Combined Legion, the 22nd Devouring Legion, the 31st Parthian Legion, the 32nd Parthian Legion, the 33rd Parthian Legion

Theia Legion, as well as a large number of citizen auxiliary legions and barbarian legions.

Among them, the 31st to 33rd were actually Severus's former soldiers. Later, for the sake of power struggle, Severus inserted these three legions into the ranks of the Eagle Banner Legion.

Of course, I did not go through the back door, but relied on my solid strength to win three Eagle Flags.

Although it is ranked lower, the Eagle Flag is the Eagle Flag, and it carries part of the national destiny of the Roman Empire. Therefore, even if it is ranked lower, its combat effectiveness is higher.

In addition to the fifteen fanatics, sixteen paladins, seventeen, eighteen, and nineteen angel legions that were already here.

There were also those who suffered defeat: the Second Trajan Legion, the Seventh Loyal Legion, the Eighth Giant Legion, the Thirteenth Rose Legion, and the Thirtieth Undefeated Legion.

A total of eighteen legions of eagles, five ecclesiastical legions, and a total of twenty-three legions of eagles, carrying two-thirds of Rome's elites, all gathered here.

What does this huge military force want to do? Of course it wants to destroy the country!

When King Vogelges V received the news, instead of panicking, he felt as if a big stone had fallen from his heart.

Ever since the war with Rome began, he had been feeling uneasy in his heart. It was only now, after seeing the strength of Rome's troops, that he put his uneasiness into his heart.

Rome's military was very strong, but Parthia was no longer the one left to be ravaged by Rome. They were the Parthian Empire, and they also had the power to fight.

Unlike the Central Plains, the Mediterranean climate is very suitable for war except for a few months of the year when it rains. Therefore, at the end of the year Severus mobilized a large number of troops directly from Rome.

I have to admit that the Mediterranean bathhouse did greatly reduce the logistics and troop transport difficulties for the Romans. If there was no Mediterranean Sea, the Romans would transport troops to West Asia. With their poor road conditions, it would take about half a year. But with the Mediterranean Sea, they would

A month's company was sent to the province of Judea with men, weapons, and supplies and supplies.

The Romans were famous for their short legs on land, so they were quickly discovered by the Parthian light cavalry, but to be honest, Severus had no intention of hiding it.

With that kind of mighty military power, the Parthians once again felt the fear of being ruled by the Romans.

But after so many victories and wars, they no longer have the original fear.

"Hehehe, he is really a pillar of Parthia. I don't know what the other Temujin is like."

Severus stood in the middle of the parliamentary guards, looking at Ardashir from a distance, with a smile on his lips.

As a Roman emperor, he had the talent of a monarch, so after seeing Ardashir from a distance, he knew that Ardashir was not the savior of Parthia. On the contrary, Ardashir was a tyrant.

Even if Rome doesn't come to destroy Parthia, Parthia will end in the hands of Ardashir, who has the same ambitions as other border Dukes.

It was the desire for power and status. However, under the military power of Rome, Ardashir had no chance to realize his ambition, so he became one of the twin heroes of Parthia.

"The situation is a little bad!" Ardashir looked a little ugly. He really didn't expect that the Roman army would be so terrifying.

He had a hunch that the natural barrier of the mountain range might not be able to be defended.

But he did not flinch, but calmly stared at the Roman army.

Although it is a bit beyond imagination, it is the consensus of the upper class of Parthia that Rome will come with troops, so everyone has been desperately squeezing Parthia's potential and making use of all possible resources.

There was no danger to defend behind the mountains, so they built their own cities. On the vast plains, there were several simple forts.

Although it is simple, it is combined with the great secret skills of Parthia, and it is also one of their ultimate moves against Rome.

We don't expect to be able to make a comeback with the help of the Great Secret Technique, but we will still have to deal a heavy blow to Rome and consume part of Rome's military strength.

They knew very well that their arrangements could not really hinder Rome's advance, but even if they could allow Rome to launch one more legion attack, it would be meaningful.

"It's over!" After Temujin saw the information about the Roman military situation, he collapsed to the ground dejectedly.

He felt that all his previous efforts were in vain and that Parthia was doomed. The reason was very simple. He and Jin Wushu would not shed the last drop of blood for Parthia.

Without them, Parthia's defense would inevitably be full of loopholes, and the only way out would be defeat.

Even if they really shed their last drop of blood, they could not stop the Roman military power this time. The Roman military power could only remind Temujin of the tragic final battle on the grasslands of northern Xinjiang.

The final battle represented the complete demise of the Xiongnu.

"Do you think Parthia is doomed?" Hu Yanchu suddenly asked confusedly, "Are you thinking that if you can get your troops out of the mountains, you still have a chance of winning in the field battles in the Mesopotamia and Mesopotamia?"

"That's right!" Temujin admitted directly without hiding it.

In Temujin's view, the so-called natural dangers were one of the keys to Parthia's defeat. The cavalry that Parthia was good at could not be used in natural dangers.

In the face of natural danger, Rome only needed to divide its troops and go to Armenia, and it would be over for them all.

Parthia actually has many places to defend, and the two core defense circles are Armenia and Mesopotamia and the Zagros Mountains. Both of these places are strategically significant.

Relatively speaking, after the defenses of the two rivers are penetrated, Parthia can still rely on the Zagros Mountains for defense in the western part of the mainland. But if Armenia is penetrated, the Romans can go south from the northwest and directly invade Parthia.

Ctesiphon and Media are the highlights of the hinterland.

Therefore, for Parthia, the importance of Armenia is actually higher than that of the two rivers. Having the two rivers is the icing on the cake. Having Armenia is equivalent to having an extra layer of protection for life. It can be said that the war has been completely avoided.

on the territory of the country.

That's why Voggis V sent Fars Sasan to personally garrison Armenia, and he himself was always ready to support any place where the main Roman force attacked.

At present, most of Rome's troops are distributed near the two river basins, leaving a buffer zone for both sides. Even if the Roman military is strong, the conflict between the church and the Eagle Flag still needs to be resolved.

Therefore, Severus did not rush to attack Parthia, but concentrated on adjusting the cooperation between the church and the Eagle Banner Corps. Even if they could not cooperate with each other, they must not hold each other back.

After Severus arrived with his army, the originally arrogant barbarians were once again brought back to their original state, but the seeds of doubt had already blossomed in their hearts. Once Rome was defeated, they would suffer an unprecedented backlash.

"Well, I don't think the Armenian general Fars Sasan left by Parthia can hold Armenia. The Parthian emperor will definitely go there." Temujin said with a wry smile.

"Natural danger will become an iron wall for Rome to surround me and Ardashir. Even if we are willing to help Parthia shed the last drop of blood, everything will become a lie by then!"

Temujin was a little desperate. Although his defense zone was a detour, it was still enough for Rome to march straight into Ctesiphon.

Regardless of whether he chooses to support Armenia or not, the fall of the essence of Parthia has become a foregone conclusion.

"The Roman army is too strong, so strong that I can hardly see any possibility of victory for Anxi." Temujin shook his head, feeling a little desperate about the current situation.

Sometimes, even the God of War cannot change some things.

Now even if Han Xin takes action personally, it is a foregone conclusion that the essence of Parthia will be completely destroyed. Even if Han Xin can beat Rome back this time, Parthia will completely lose the capital to rise again.

It will go back to the era when Roman barbarians invaded at will. Even if Rome still has dual military souls and dual talents, it will be the same.

The final outcome was like that of the Xiongnu, who could only survive and then be reduced to historical garbage and withdraw from the stage of history.

Well, if Parthia can now produce three military gods in place and defeat Rome in three directions, that will be its only chance of victory.

However, this probability is lower than the probability that the Kushans and the Han Dynasty suddenly reconciled and then led troops to attack Rome.

"But your judgment is not accurate!" Hu Yanchu said to Temujin.

Temujin's eyes lit up, and he now preferred that there was a problem with his own judgment.

"Teacher, what's your advice?" Temujin's eyes were bright, hoping that Hu Yanchu could come up with some strategies to turn the tables.

But Hu Yanchu shook his head.

"I'm not accurate. It's not that I can win, but that your judgment of the situation is still too optimistic!" Hu Yanchu's words made Temujin feel like he had fallen into an ice cave.

Parthia is dead, is this still optimistic?

"It is not difficult for Rome to attack the Zagros Mountains, Armenia, and here at the same time!" Hu Yanchu said, and Temujin's expression became even darker.

Indeed, the possibility of a three-pronged pushback against Rome was only a dream, while the possibility of the Roman army defeating Parthia in three prongs was almost certain.

"Do you think Armenia will collapse first?" Hu Yanchu asked with a wry smile. Sometimes he would rather he was not smart enough.

"Could it be that on my side, the Romans want to regain their position?"

Temujin frowned and asked. This was possible. After all, Fars Sasan was also the first commander of Parthia, so he might be able to hold off Rome for a while.

On the contrary, the probability that he will not be able to hold on will be greater. After all, there are too many elite legions coming from Rome this time.

"No, Ardashir will be the first to retreat!" Hu Yanchu sighed.

"Impossible, the natural danger is in hand. As long as Ardashir holds on, even if Rome attacks the city without sleep, it will take a while!" Temujin shook his head in disagreement.

"Your heart is confused. You have taken on the identity of Parthia. I will not be affected by external things, nor will I be swayed by the strength of the situation, nor will I make one-way decisions based on the intelligence in my hand.

Judgment, I will only think about the simplest way." Hu Yanchu shook his head.

This is the saddest thing for him. The descendants of the Huns have begun to integrate into Parthia, and they think like Parthians.

He knew it, but he knew that this was the best ending.

Without relying on Parthia, they probably wouldn't even have the legions they have now.

"Wait a minute, you mean!" Temujin suddenly thought of something. Since the natural danger is the geographical advantage, what if the geographical advantage is taken away?

Which is easier, attacking a large army or attacking a motionless mountain range, I can tell with my toes.

"It seems that you have understood. If I were Rome, I would definitely attack Ardashir, and then attack with legions to open a broad road on the Zagros Mountains. There should be no Parthia as a country in the future."

This is the biggest strategy in war, which is the so-called using one's own strengths to attack the enemy's weaknesses. And just like this, the Romans' tactics were pushed to the extreme.

Since Rome planned to destroy the country, it did not intend to give Parthia any chance of survival. He forced Parthia to use its strongest army to face the front of their army.

Don't give Parthia any room to operate, just F2A, choosing the simplest and crudest way to drive straight in.
