After Li Jue joined the war between Anxi and Rome, it became a complete pitfall. Rome has become accustomed to adapting to local conditions, and never thought that other countries would come to help Anxi. The only possible Hun cavalry did not appear. Another army came.

The current equipment in Rome is all for light cavalry. To be precise, their current military system can basically disgust most light cavalry, including Baima Yicong, the elite light cavalry.

However, Rome is not here to fight heavy cavalry this time. If they had known that there would be such super-capable cavalry joining the war, they would definitely bring Teutonic axemen and phalanx shield grabbers. , Temporarily reject these things.

It's a pity that the Roman Council has repeatedly confirmed that it is basically impossible for someone to help Anxi. The most likely reason is that the bastards of the Huns have come again. However, the Huns usually come to paddle, and it is impossible to risk their lives, so there is no need to worry too much. Just beat Anxi to death. The Huns would have left by themselves, and to hell with it.

"General, after the analysis of our side, the cavalry who despised our attack before should be heavy cavalry, and they are heavy cavalry at the level of the parliamentary guard." Gathering up the rout, the Romans retreated far away, making sure Set up camp when safe.

"Where did this heavy cavalry come from? Don't tell me that those guys in Anxi who have not been civilized for a hundred years will suddenly wake up?" Ganassis himself did not believe this. The military system in Anxi has not changed for a hundred years. The light cavalry shot by Rome and the addition of organic archers are now outdated by the Romans and better than the blue.

"According to our guess, these are not Parthian cavalry, and their language is not a language we are familiar with." The young tribune told the legion commander Ganassis what they deduced from all the battle situations.

Ganassis had a bit of a headache. Although there were unexpected reasons and being flanked, the fighting power and momentum displayed by the Xiliang Iron Cavalry showed that this was an elite team.

"Heavy cavalry at the level of the parliamentary guard." Ganassis said after a moment of silence, "There are not many regiments in the empire that can deal with this type of troops. We need to know more about this cavalry of unknown origin."

"Campmaster, what do you want to say?" Ganassis suddenly saw the campmaster who was about to speak and asked.

"This should be the Han army. We all know that there is an empire to the east of Anxi. It is said that a very powerful empire is called Han. The Hun Empire was defeated by the Han Empire. Compared with the Hun's combat power..." This world is not There is an impenetrable strength, just like Li You and others who are well-known and strong remember that they can say rest to welcome the Han envoys, and there are also people in Rome who have an impression of the Han Empire.

"Han Empire?" Only one person in the tent had heard of it, and the others were all confused.

"A powerful and wealthy empire. The silk we wear and the porcelain we use come from that empire, not Wusun, who is the king of the far east and has some contacts with us." The camp leader thought for a while and said. .

"Silk, porcelain?" All the Roman generals became excited. This is an extremely precious treasure in their country.

"Let us conquer that empire, the invincible Roman parliamentary guard, the mighty Teutonic axeman, and our catapults, heavy infantry, and archers, can defeat any country!" When the gilders heard this, their eyes reflected golden light. There is no way that silk is more expensive than gold in Rome.

"Hehe." The camp leader was not appointed by the nobles, he climbed up by his own strength. Hearing the words of the descendant of the nobles, he smiled mockingly.

"Usna Faso, tell me what else you know." Legion Commander Ganassis is completely different from those guys among the tribunes who have never seen the market. He is very clear about the country that can be named empire What kind of strength does it have.

Even Anxi, an empire that has been completely dragged into a pit by Rome, has passed a hundred years since it started fighting. Although Anxi is dying, he still exists on this continent, even with the long transportation lines of Rome. However, it can also be seen from this point that wars between empires basically last for several generations before the results can be seen.

As for the Han Empire farther away, Ganassis is very clear that even if Rome wants to fight, it doesn't have the ability. scale battles.

For this kind of super empire standing at the pinnacle of the era, Ganassis, who is already second only to the consul and the commander of the general army, knows very well that if you can't solve the supply problem, it's useless if you can win.

This is also the reason why Rome broke through Tessiphon several times, but Anxi has not been destroyed. The supply line is too long. If Anxi is on the edge of the Mediterranean Sea, Rome will definitely teach Anxi the principles of life.

"Legion Commander, I don't know much about this." Usna Faso said with a wry smile. He also read about it in a book, and then he explained what he knew.

"A country of thousands of miles, with nearly ten million people, can afford silk and porcelain." Ganassis repeated these words, although he knew that there must be moisture in it, but it was still scary to think about it.

"There is no other way. It seems that we can only stop here this time. Withdraw to Mesopotamia. The war with Parthia will come to an end first. Next time we will fight again when we are ready." Ganassis As the head of the legion, and a great noble who may be promoted to the head of the general army, it is much better to seek stability than to die at this time.

What's more, Ganassis can tell at a glance that with his current troop configuration, he can't do anything about the iron cavalry that may be the Han Empire.

Although Ganassis knows very well that as long as he forms an army formation, it will be difficult for the opponent to be like last time, but even iron cavalry can shoot arrows. If they shoot arrows against their arrow rain, even if they form an formation, they will be dragged down and their morale will be lost. of.

In Ganassis' view, the iron cavalry, which ignores long-range attacks, does not exist for combat. Although the attack is very sharp, it is not impossible to resist. Their Roman armored infantry can be killed as long as they form a formation. one.

Although there is nothing to brag about, but the opponent's cavalry is only in the thousands, as long as they are determined to fill in a camp of heavy infantry, they will be able to defeat the opponent, and even if there is no battalion of heavy infantry, they can still rest Press and beat.

It's a pity that Ganassis knows that there can't be any luck on the battlefield. This is the mystery of his position as the commander of the legion. He can always think of shooting against the rain of arrows. He only needs to kill a few archers every day, and the Han cavalry retreats completely. It won't be long enough to demoralize them.
