Chapter 1150 Adapting measures to local conditions
Li Jue was helpless. He knew that these two guys understood. The opponent was also an elite legion, but they were completely defeated. They had high defense, and now they have super high defense. However, the Roman archers actually had a super high rate of fire.
And the extended shooting range was completely defeated by the Xiliang Iron Cavalry.
It can be said that if the Roman archers click on the enhanced attack, it will be somewhat useful, but for the archers who click on the rate of fire, for units like the Xiliang Cavalry, which are heavy cavalry without armor, they are completely free of charge.
, more food than the infantry, at least the infantry also has a knife.
"That is to say, we treat them as food. If others had already killed them," Li Jue said, looking at his two comrades speechlessly.
Ten waves of arrows were fired at the battle. Normal troops would have died long ago, so the Xiliang cavalry regarded it as drizzle. Anyway, for the Xiliang cavalry, they are directly immune to attacks unless they reach a certain level...
"Who makes us the strongest cavalry in the world? These are the worst elites I have ever fought." Guo Bang laughed. He never thought that the first elite regiment he encountered after leaving the Han Dynasty's radiation range would be completely ridden by them.
We have never seen an elite soldier defeated by cavalry in the Central Plains.
It can be said that the Roman archers were unlucky. Their ability to make bows and arrows was mediocre. Their strongest weapons were infantry and cavalry. However, they fought with Anxi for a hundred years and absorbed the combat arms that Anxi was best at.
When the country of An'an was at its peak, it had the best bow-making skills of its time, the best-equipped cavalry, and organic archers. However, what these best combinations produced was not the most capable of fighting.
At least in the Hundred Years War with Rome, Parthia became increasingly miserable. At first, it could rely on mercenaries to carry out classic annihilations like the Calle War. However, as it went on, it became more and more desperate. It can be called a little expert in seeking death in the empire.
.
The powerful Rome knew how to absorb Parthia's sophisticated compound bow technology and copy Parthia's horse archer equipment. However, over the past hundred years, Parthia has become more and more mixed back. Not to mention that the original disadvantages have not been filled, and the original advantages have been absorbed by Rome.
.
It would be weird if Anxi didn't die, especially since the Romans also discovered that the combination of archers and horse archers that had been established in Central Asia was very effective, so they also built one team of archers after another.
The Romans were also good at adapting to local conditions. They discovered that covering the rain of arrows did not require a high level of archery. It was enough to be able to kill the Parthian horse archers who were light cavalry. In pursuit of speed, the light cavalry had poor defense.
, so there is no need for a very labor-intensive longbow.
In the end, the archers that the Roman quartermasters came up with according to local conditions were such excellent short bows that they could shoot light cavalry to death, were very labor-saving, and had a range that was one-tenth further than that of cavalry archers.
Because of its labor-saving, a longbowman who would get tired after shooting ten times can easily shoot a pot of arrows. With the help of this super-era weapon, the covering arrows killed countless excellent light cavalry from Anxi, while the rubbish Anxi’s
Military response capabilities have not been adjusted in a hundred years.
Think about it, a group of 5,000 elite archers can shoot more than 200,000 arrows into a cup of tea. As long as the opponent is not a monster like heavy infantry or heavy cavalry, the group will be absolutely wiped out.
Especially one day, the Roman archers realized a certain elite ability earlier than the Roman infantry because of their constant pursuit of shooting speed, that is, the shooting speed was doubled, and the shooting speed of ten waves in three breaths was as fast as ten consecutive rounds.
After the brutal elite ability of Tutu was released, the Roman archers became the only choice for the Romans to suppress the battle.
However, all this is completely useless to guys like the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, who wear light cavalry equipment but are actually out-and-out heavy cavalry.
It's like shooting a gun at a tank, it's useless. Shooting ten waves of arrows in three breaths is really powerful, but it's useless if you don't break the defense!
Naturally, the Romans were completely demoralized after seeing the ghost. Li Jue and others took a big advantage and came over to let An An see what the heavenly army is.
"Your Majesty!" Futro quickly went over to greet him when he saw Vorogis V wearing royal robes and holding a royal staff.
"Where did you borrow the reinforcements from?" Vorogis V said to his ministers as he looked at the fierce group of troops stationed nearby.
Although he knew that this was reinforcements, in the impression of Vologis V, no country near his country had such elites. The organic archers who beat the Romans were like beating their sons. They charged with bows and arrows, but they didn't.
See the fallen horse.
The overwhelming gloomy clouds and the chilling momentum clearly indicated that they were the ultimate national guard force. He couldn't think of any country that would send such an elite force here for their peace of mind.
"Your Majesty, this is the Han army. Guishang is unwilling to send troops. I heard from Wusun merchants that another Han army was sent to the Western Regions to take control, so I went to ask for help. After learning about it, Han general Li said he was willing to help us." Futluo.
He quickly reported back.
"What you promised them, no less, give it all to them." Vorogis V said without any hesitation, not even asking what the envoy made to Li Jue. "By the way, ask the other party, if
Allow us to hire.”
There is no shortage of money, weapons, food and grass in Anxi. They have good weather here and food has never been a problem. They are short of people who can fight, and this elite group from the Han Empire finally made Vorogis V finally
I understand that the Huns did not lose unjustly.
When the Huns mercenaries came out, they really overwhelmed the Romans. Although it can be seen that the Huns did not try their best, even if they tried their best, look at the power of the Han army, they were just beating their sons. Well, the high-quality archers of Rome simply did not
There's no room for a backhand, okay?
With this fighting power, the Xiongnu's defeat was not unjust at all. No wonder the Northern Huns, who were domineering in the Western Regions, refused to return to their home grasslands in the east even if they were killed. They didn't dare to go back at all. Well, if there are one hundred thousand such terrifying cavalry, who will see them?
Who can I crush?
Of course, the fact is that Vologis V overthought. When the Xiliang Iron Cavalry was at its highest, there were only a hundred thousand, and even fewer could catch up with the group of lunatics led by Li Jue.
"Thank you so much for the help from the Han Empire." King Anxi personally went over and bowed to Li Jue.
However, Li Jue and others could not understand the words of the Parthian King at all, and they could not tell that this middle-aged man in silk was the Parthian King.
"Your Majesty, they don't understand what we are saying." Flot quickly explained to the king when he saw that Li Jue and others were ignoring the king.
"Envoy, we have settled it for you, who is this guy?" Guo Bang said immediately when he saw the Parthian envoy.
Flot was also considered a language genius, and he could barely guess the meaning. He pointed at King Anxi, then took a few steps back, gave the king a salute, and said in stiff Chinese, "My Majesty!"
