Just as the Han army, Rome, and Parthians had estimated, Ganassis's reinforcements had arrived on the east coast of the Mediterranean before the Parthians had attacked Antioch.
"What? You said the Legion of Thirteen Roses was destroyed!" Ganassis roared directly at Ferruccio, this is the symbol of the Roman Empire!
Ferruccio told Ganassis everything that had happened before with a depressed expression.
"The Parthians and the Han army." Ganassis' anger surged, but he did not let his anger overwhelm his reason. "Order the fifth legion, the ninth legion, and the auxiliary legion to set up camp for me first."
"Duke Ganassis, has the Thirteenth Legion been destroyed?" Ludovic himself was on guard not far from the tent, so he also learned about the matter. After Ferruccio left, it didn't take long for him to find him.
Come over and ask directly.
"Yes, Parthia has given birth to a super elite army. What's even more troublesome is that the Parthia army is assisted by the Han army. Now our eastern province only has Antioch in Syria." Ganassis could hardly hide his eyes.
of anger.
"Then what should we do?" Although Ludovic was equally angry at this time, his duty prevented him from making any irrational actions, and he was just waiting for Ganassis' order.
"Novelli asked me to set up camp here first. Antioch is the capital of Syria after all, and it is impossible to defeat it in a short while. After resting first, I will engage in a pincer attack with the 14th and 15th Legion of Antioch." Ganassi.
Si opened his mouth and said, after serving as the Duke of the Eastern Border County for so many years, this is the first time such a big thing has happened.
"The Fifth Skylark Legion went to assassinate him first. After causing chaos, our entire army pressed forward. To be honest, I didn't really want to fight with the Han army." Ganassis explained to Ludovic.
Ludovic nodded without saying anything and left directly, while Ganassis ordered people to find Palmiro, the commander of the Fifth Skylark Legion, and informed him of the destruction of the Thirteenth Legion.
"The Thirteenth Legion was destroyed?" Palmiro looked at Ganassis in disbelief.
"Yes, it was destroyed." Ganassis was able to describe the matter calmly at this time.
"I want revenge!" Palmiro didn't say much, staring at Ganassis with eyes full of anger.
Fifth, twelfth, and thirteenth, although the people who controlled the legions back then were different, in reality, they were all legions established by Caesar. The Twelve Thunder and Lightning Legions lost the eagle flag that year. Although they all fought in the same battle,
He destroyed the opponent and snatched the eagle flag back, but it also declined inexplicably.
It can be said that the Fifth Skylark and the Thirteenth Rose are the last items left by Caesar. There is great competition between the two legions, but both legions also recognize the strength of the other and regard the other as their best.
Brother Tie, now the Thirteenth Legion has been destroyed.
"The first wave of attacks will be launched, and you will lead the Fifth Skylark Legion to execute it. The Parthians are very strong this time, and our troops may not have the advantage, so use your strength to avenge the Thirteen Rose Legion." Ganassis said solemnly.
.
"Yes!" Palmiro growled, suppressing his anger.
"Go and inform Tachito." Ganassis saw the anger on Palmiro's face, and felt equally sad and angry in his heart, so the Thirteenth Legion left.
After Palmiro left, the commander of the Ninth Spanish Legion rushed over not long after, "Duke, what do you want from me?"
Ganassis informed Tacito of the destruction of the Thirteenth Legion. Although the other party was also angry, he obviously did not have Palmiro's urge to kill and take revenge now. It was obvious that even these legions had a relative.
Far and near.
"Are you going to attack the day after tomorrow? The Fifth Skylark serves as the blade and I take advantage of the chaos to attack?" Tachito nodded and said there was no problem.
"Yes, although the Fifth Skylark Legion is very powerful in chaotic battles, this legion is not really a legion for direct decisive battles." Ganassis nodded and said, "And you are a legion for decisive battles, and you need to inflict heavy damage on the opponent."
"Okay." Tacito was obviously very happy about this evaluation and said that there was no problem on his side.
Afterwards, Ganassis called the few remaining auxiliary legion commanders over, informed these people of the news, and strictly ordered them not to spread the word, so that they could prepare for an attack the day after tomorrow.
"Novelli, are you sure this is okay? The other party must know that we have arrived at the port." Ganassis said after everyone left.
"Even if they don't know, they will know when we go there. It is so flat that you can directly see the horizon. The Parthians are not without brains. They must be well prepared for their military camps." Novelli said calmly.
"So it is better to make it clear and let them know that we are here and let them focus their attention here, which will make it easier to attack." Novelli said calmly, "Duke, you are too afraid of the Han army."
"That's right. If An Anxi investigates by himself, he may find more things. But if we put them out, they will ignore them. As for the Han army, the main reason is that the Han army is too strong and they did not conflict with them.
Necessary!" Ganassis said cautiously.
"In this case, the general should ask the tribune who fought with you last time to send a letter to the Han army. After all, Anxi and the Han army are not the same family." Novelli's eyes flashed with coldness.
"Those tribunes are mostly young nobles who are here for training. They can only do bad things. Let Usna Faso pass. If possible, I still hope that the Han army can withdraw." Ganassis said calmly.
"I'm afraid the Han army will not withdraw. Their goals are very clear, so General, you'd better not think about these things. But it's good to let Usna Faso pass. You'd better write a letter on silk cloth and send it.
To the Han Dynasty." Novelli shook his head and said.
"An empire will not accept the threat of another empire, and the empire will only succumb to strong power." Ganassis said calmly, "But the process that needs to be followed is still indispensable, even if it makes the Han Empire think more.
, go and notify Usna Faso for me.”
Speaking of which, Usna Faso was still the camp commander last time. This time, due to the large army fighting, his position has been moved down a lot.
"Duke." After Usnafaso arrived, he saluted Ganassis and stood aside silently without speaking.
"Here is this thing for you. Go to the Han army camp. I have sent envoys to Anxi. Although I don't want to do this kind of thing, as Rome, there is no shortage of due procedures." Ganassis will write
