In fact, the cooperation of the Roman legions was not only terrible, it was simply a disgrace to that level. The internal levels of each legion were pretty good, at least at the level of the empire. The cooperation between legions, just go to sleep. The so-called cooperation simply means no cooperation.
.
To put it simply, the Scythian Royal Cavalry Legion and the Macedonian Legion are both the Fourth Eagle Banner Legion, and both legions are reorganized legions of 6,000 men, each with a legion commander.
This legion can be regarded as a historical problem caused by Caesar, Antony, and Augustus. First of all, this legion is not a pure Roman citizen. The Scythians are barbarians in Rome. Well, this is not important. What is important is that these two legions belong to
An eagle flag means that mutual support is a matter of course.
However, in the previous battle, the Macedonian Army fought against Cao Zhen's warriors, and Cao Zhen killed the Macedonian Army with a wave of attacks.
With a burst of lethality in a short period of time, Duan Jiao's imitation of the Reishi Legion definitely stands at the pinnacle of all legions. Although the heavy infantry of the Macedonian Legion is very powerful, in the face of this short-range burst sprint, it can be as fast as a war horse and can also perform slashing attacks.
Of course, the violent troops were cut off all the way.
But when it comes to this, I have to say that even if there are soldiers, the Cao family's ability to train Duan Jue's warriors so quickly is entirely due to Cheng Yu's mental talent.
The ultra-high lethality of Rui Shi is based on the ultra-high burst speed and the powerful lethality of the sword. There is nothing to say about the latter. The main problem lies in the former. Duan Jiao's Rui Shi can reach the speed of horse sprinting in a short-range burst.
The speed of swinging the sword at this speed, combined with the strengthened blade itself, can cut through shields of average quality.
Isn't it very violent? With such a strong attack power, there is no problem in killing one or two defensive heavy infantry legions when they are not prepared. The lethality of its high-speed stabbing combined with blade slashing is almost at the limit of the dual-talent legion.
, but in addition to the key point of defending against garbage, this legion also has another problem, and that is reaction!
That was the speed of a horse charging in an instant, and at the moment of charging, he swung his sword to strike. This became the problem of Zhao Yun's white horse back then. He could only swing his sword quickly based on his feeling, and it was very likely that he would cut it out with one strike.
Cut something empty or something.
Cheng Yu spent about a year and energy, using his mental talent to make all the warriors adapt to this kind of ultra-high-speed slashing, so that Duan Jiong's biggest headache was forcibly solved. Many gadgets were
Yes, as long as you get used to it, it won't be a problem at all.
So when the Macedonian Army was defeated by Cao Zhen's warriors, what was the other half of the Fourth Eagle Banner Army doing?
At this time, the Scythian Archer Legion seemed to have not seen the actions of the Macedonian Legion. They were wandering around the periphery looking for opponents. They probably fought against the Danyang and Jiangdong archers soon after, and then even started to fight with the Xiandenshishi.
Rain of arrows.
Finally, needless to say, the Scythian Horse Archers were almost wiped out by the archers of the Han army without the cover of the Macedonian Army. Of course, when the Macedonian Army was killed by Cao Zhen’s warriors, the Scythian Horse Archers
The legion also failed to fulfill its responsibility to suppress the sharp warriors.
Speaking of the sharp warriors led by Cao Zhen, even the Scythian Cavalry Cavalry Corps using short bows to shoot ten shots was enough to suppress the charge of the thinly armored warriors, while the heavy infantry of the Macedonian Legion was not just a rain of arrows from a short bow.
Those who can kill, the covering arrow rain is enough to turn the Macedonian army from defeat to victory.
These two are still an eagle flag. With this cooperation, Pipponsianus almost got angry after receiving the mutual accusations from the two legion commanders. Are you mentally retarded?
And Trajan's Army, you know what your mission is, you are here to fight with the Han army, didn't you notice that your rear was blown up by the Kuai Xiliang cavalry?
If it hadn't been for the action of the First Auxiliary Legion later, God knows how Rome would have fallen from power.
There are also other Eagle Flag Legions, what do you call cooperation? You almost caused accidental damage to friendly forces, okay? We haven’t fought with more than six Eagle Flag Legions in coordinated operations for decades. Is your current level of cooperation like this?
"Ahem, Finance Officer, you know, in the past, in order to ensure our combat effectiveness, we used two or three legions to fight against several times our strength. This level is considered a training for us." Benito explained carefully.
He could also feel the poor cooperation between the Boro Roman Eagle and Banner Corps.
"So, after a long time, you can't even fight with a large army?" Pipponsianus said with a sneer, thinking of this, he was very angry.
Even if he knew that Benito was telling the truth, Pipponsianus was still sneering. A large army fighting together is the hard power of an empire.
No matter how strong a single legion is, it can only rise to the battle level at most. But when the war rises to the level of the empire, it is difficult for even a military spirit legion to have the final say. The cooperation between soldiers and the art of commanding war are very difficult.
It greatly affects the direction of the war.
A war between one or two legions is not called an imperial war. Even if one or two legions are dual-talented super elites, it is nothing more than local friction for the empire.
"We have been slack for too long, this time is just a training exercise." Pipponsianus calmed down and said with a sneer, while Benito nodded silently.
"Then we don't care about the Han army?" Benito changed the topic silently, not daring to continue to dwell on this aspect.
"The army that commanded us has passed. If the Han army doesn't chase us, they won't have to chase us in the future. If the Han army chases us, can they beat us outside the camp? The Han army can't make decisions by themselves, so let's help them.
Make a decision." Pipponsianus said coldly.
"Are we offering too generous conditions to the Han army?" Benito hesitated and said. He always felt that it was like Rome was afraid of the Han Dynasty.
"The opponent's strong strength is their willful capital." Pipponsianus shook his head and said, "What's more, the Han Dynasty is probably suffering at this time. It doesn't matter whether we attack or not. What's important is that before we
It’s hard for them to behave otherwise under this kind of behavior.”
"There is no chance of winning if we fight. Letting us go to the Zagros Mountains without fighting means that the Han Dynasty has actually given up the covenant with Anxi. We don't need to provoke the Han Dynasty, we only need to show our will.
Pipponsianus said with a touch of self-confidence.
"So the barbarian army is still besieging the Han camp, or is it just exerting pressure on the outside?" Benito asked with a hint of curiosity.
"Just put pressure on the outside." Pipponsianus said with a smile, "What's more, we also have Palmiro looming outside the Han army camp."
Benito held his forehead. This kind of behavior is simply disgusting to the Han Dynasty. However, under the pressure of the Roman army, it would be difficult for the Han Dynasty to make any move, especially since the Fifth Skylark still stayed there and refused to leave. A large number of
The barbarians looked around, it was really disgusting.
"That's it. We plan to march in the army the day after tomorrow. We have almost spent a month here. We have not launched a country-destroying war in so many years. There is really a problem with our cooperation. By the way, I will tell you some news. Perun
The Emperor's Guard Corps led by Nice has captured Armenia." Piponsianus said as he walked.
Benito was stunned when he heard this, and then looked surprised. Perennis captured Armenia. He was worthy of being the commander of the Guards. This speed was simply beyond imagination.
If the goal of this battle was not to destroy Parthia, then they should now go south from Armenia to attack Ctesiphon, and capture the Parthian capital once again as before.
However, the goal this time is to destroy Anxi, so we must cut off the last lifeline of Anxi. Then we have to cross the Zagros Mountains and remove the last traces of Anxi. And Perennis defeated it.
Armenia, which means that the war in the second half of Parthia began.
But no matter what Benito thought, he felt that Perennis' victory over Armenia in less than a month exceeded his expectations.
In fact, it was not just Benito who felt that the reinforcements of Vologis V were even more shocked when they received this information when they just arrived at the Armenian border. He did not expect that even after spending some time to gather troops, the Romans had actually already
Defeated the capital of Armenia.
This rapid speed made Vologis V certain that the opponent was the main force of the Romans, and this was also one of Perennis' goals.
To put it simply, the victory in the Battle of Armenia had nothing to do with how well the Romans were able to fight. It was basically a victory of Perennis' tactics.
The Emperor's Guard Corps led by Perennis used the power of Hannibal's army to lead the barbarians through the mountains. They used a frontal feint attack to attract attention. They gave up attacking the fortified city and led the barbarians to bypass it from the northwest.
They broke into Elebuni, the capital of Armenia at that time, and then directly attacked the capital before the Armenians could react.
Then, while sending a message to the provincial officials who wanted to regain Rome, they turned back and united with the army that had been supporting them in the front. They blocked the Parthians' defense points that were tightly defended, solid, and resisted tenaciously. Finally, they were forced to death, and finally with extremely low pressure.
The casualties killed the Parthians.
How do you describe this tactic? It looks simple, but in fact it is a classic tactic that is still used in World War II and even today. When broken down, it is basically the current doctrine of maneuverability and flexibility, roundabout tactics, key breakthroughs and other tactics.
When the Romans and Central Plains people were the most unreasonable, they both used tactics from the 20th century to defeat their enemies in BC.
Of course, the tragedy of the Romans is that they were the target of being beaten. Hannibal used twentieth-century tactics to kill several consuls and beat them to the gates of Rome...
