After Vorogis V had been stationed in Armenia for a period of time, he prepared to lead his troops south and attack Rome with Fars and Sasanians according to the previous plan.
But what was different from before was that this time when the Karan family came with their troops, there were some other people present.
When Volojis V saw the other people hiding in the Karan family, he couldn't help but have a look of ridicule on his lips, but then disappeared. In any case, this was a good start.
If you don’t want the Karan family to dominate, right? Well, follow me, Vorogis V, and I’ll make sure you won’t be suppressed by the Karan family.
Nothing proves ability better than meritorious deeds, especially the destruction of Armenia, which was simply a shot in the arm for the Parthians who had been somewhat powerless in foreign wars for decades.
And nothing can build prestige faster than meritorious service. After all, the seven nobles of Anxi are not monolithic. If some are strong, others will naturally be weak. And with such an obvious behavior of Vologis V, how can the other five nobles
Do you understand?
Vorogis V did not meet those people. After the other nobles arrived, he led those men who were truly loyal to him south.
Armenia is very important, but no matter how important it is, it is not as important as Rome. As long as Rome can be defeated, there can be as many Armenias as there are. But if Rome cannot be defeated, no matter how much you gain now, you will inevitably lose it in the end.
"Omzada, you will be the vanguard, holding the shield first!" The magnanimity shown by Fars Sasan is simply terrifying. This veteran always makes people awe-inspiring, the kind of man who, if necessary, will fight to the death even if he fights to the death.
The momentum of not retreating is indeed a bit scary!
After hearing this, Omzada immediately ordered his troops to put on thick armor, take out huge thick wooden shields that could cover most of his body, and arrange them in a row, and then a large number of archers inserted into the team.
, other soldiers began to push giant logs into rafts one by one into the Tigris River, preparing to rush to the other side of the river in this way.
"Just force the crossing like this?" Lu Meng looked dumbfounded. He rushed over like this. Thousands of people will die in peace. Why don't you be so crazy?
"If we don't force it so hard, we can only kill time, and killing time is too dangerous for the Parthians." Zhuge Liang tilted his head and explained.
"Although it is dangerous to force the crossing, if you rush over in one go, it will be a major blow to Rome, and it will also be a great blessing to your own morale. However, looking at the preparations on the other side, I am afraid it will not be easy." Chen Gong looked at the dense crowds on the other side of the river.
Xiaodian couldn't help but shook his head, this river is not easy to cross.
"I see that the other side of the river is full of archers, spear-throwers and axe-throwers." Li Jue touched his chin and said, "Zhongming, you said that if you don't go over and catch the other side by surprise, the real danger is the hundred steps behind you.
And I see that the other side is full of barbarian archers."
Duan Xuan looked at Li Jue with a look of disgust, and then carefully observed that the people on the other side were really all archers.
With Omzada's roar, countless Parthians pushed the raft into the Tigris River, and then started water skiing vigorously. Similarly, a large number of small sampans rushed out from Rome and rushed towards Parthia.
come over.
The two sides soon collided in the middle of the Tigris River. The arrows flew towards each other crazily, all at a super high rate of fire. Both sides suffered losses. However, as the ships of both sides approached, it didn't take long for the Romans to
The Parthians were defeated.
Fars Sashan was almost furious, but just like when Guo Jia faced Zhou Yu on the other side of the Huaihe River, he was obviously stronger, but couldn't defeat him across the Huaihe River. After such a battle, Fars Sashan
Shan realized instantly.
"The gap between the two sides is too big." Sima Yi said with a hint of embarrassment.
The Parthians themselves did not understand water warfare, and they did not have much preparation. Originally, if they had prepared for a longer period of time and launched an all-out assault, the Romans would not have enough strength to defend, and it was possible to force a surprise attack, but now they were obviously not prepared enough.
"General Fals, just lay the pontoon bridge, and we will help block the rain of arrows." Zhuge Liang looked sideways at Duan Xuan. He couldn't just do nothing along the way. It would be better to do something within his power. Besides, the military soul cavalry itself would not eat it.
It's just good to use to block the rain of arrows.
Of course, Zhuge Liang also knew that all the noise here was actually to attract the Romans, so the bigger the noise, the better. The bigger the noise, the safer it would be for Ardashir to sneak away.
Fars Sasan, who was originally angry, was startled when he heard Zhuge Liang's words, and then he didn't ask Zhuge Liang what to do.
He directly ordered people to push the raft again and nail huge logs as the stakes of the pontoon bridge. Anyway, so many trees were cut down that it would be impossible to make a raft through it, so it would be better to follow Zhuge Liang's instructions and make a pontoon bridge.
Anyway, the so-called forced crossing was what Fars Sasan had in mind. After all, he didn't know the big gap between his own water warfare technology and that of Rome.
In this case, no matter how hard it is to attract attention, it is not impossible to switch to Zhuge Liang's method. Even if the other party just wants to give it a try, Fars Sasan will agree that the Han Dynasty is an ally worth doing.
Zhuge Liang called Duan Xuan and others over. There were more than 500 military soul cavalry. Blocking arrows was not a problem at all. Anyway, these things did not take long-range attacks at all. Let them stand on the pontoon to block arrows to attract attention and let the other side understand them.
This group of people's forced transfer is not a joke, they have something to rely on.
After that, Fars Sasan looked puzzled as Duan Xuan and others rode on to the large pontoon bridge. The pontoon bridge was constantly being repaired, and the cavalry kept moving up. The Romans didn't seem to have any intention of stopping it. Waiting until the Parthians overnight
When it was a third of the way through the repairs, the Romans rushed over in boats, shooting arrows at the people on the pontoon.
However, Duan Xuan just stood there expressionless, all the arrows were twisted by the attributes of the military soul into a powerful defense. After all, the military soul is not such a rigid thing.
The Romans were shocked when they saw it, and immediately understood that these people were not afraid of arrows. After Benito got the news, he immediately ordered Erclan upstream to release driftwood along the current. Zhuge Liang was already prepared to steadily attack these
The giant tree resisted.
The subsequent development of the situation was just like what Zhuge Liang told Fars and Sassanians. One brisk Roman boat carried a kind of stinky kerosene that could burn on the water and washed down the water. The burning kerosene even caused
The entire river looked like daytime.
It's a pity that Zhuge Liang is also experienced in facing this kind of thing. The Han Dynasty played too much with things like water and fire, and his experience is really too rich.
