Chapter 1044: : The demeanor of a powerful country?

No one will give up showing their value to the emperor, and as a prince, he will not give up the opportunity to make his father feel that he is an excellent heir.

Liu Shen is young, but it depends on what kind of family he grew up in and who he has come into contact with.

Some teachers who taught Liu Shen all explicitly or implicitly taught Liu Shen that as the eldest son of the prince, he should be the best prince, and expected Liu Shen to take on more responsibilities.

The so-called taking on more responsibilities is nothing more than becoming a prince and being the one who will lead the country in the future.

As Liu Shen's biological mother, Cui Wan taught Liu Shen that she must run to the throne of the prince. Whether she can sit on the throne of the prince is not only related to Liu Shen's life, but also determines whether she can sit down as the queen. . She also mentioned more or less how much effort and price the Cui clan had put in for Liu Shen.

Liu Shen, who has carried the hope of countless people since his birth, will never be ignorant no matter how young he is.

Of course Liu Shen longed for the throne of a prince, and he was taught that he should express his desire to become a prince without disguising, but the desire alone is obviously not enough, and he has to make his own efforts.

The Han Dynasty, whether it is the Western Han or the Eastern Han Dynasty, is obviously not able to sit on the throne of the prince when they were born earlier than other brothers, but needs to show their abilities so that the emperor thinks that they can inherit the Datong.

Shouldn't the Han Empire have a blood relationship with the former Han's hometown Liu? Even Liu Yan couldn't judge this.

However, regardless of whether the old Liu family of the current Han Empire has anything to do with the old Liu family of the pre-Han, it is obvious that Liu Yan's behavior will not hand the country to a mediocre heir.

Liu Yan's sending Liu Shen to the army was an obvious move. Once Liu Shen arrived in the army and did not show what he wanted to see, his impression score would definitely be lowered.

On the contrary, if Liu Shen's performance in the army is very good, not only will he be able to integrate into the army, but he will also be recognized by the soldiers, and even make some meritorious services, it will definitely make Liu Yan feel happy and gratified.

"Father won't want to see a son who retreats in battle!" Liu Shen clenched his fists and said firmly: "I will be here until I break into Sassanian territory!"

Xu Guang breathed a sigh of relief immediately. The words he would say to Liu Shen were actually not his own thoughts, but were explained by his father Xu Zheng before he came.

And Xu Zheng is definitely not just expressing his will, it should be the common idea of ​​the military?

The military certainly hopes that the best candidate for the crown prince of the empire will be close to him. There is no more effective way to deepen friendship and impression than to have more experience in the military.

The emperor sent the eldest son of the emperor to the army itself is an excellent opportunity for the military to establish friendship with the future prince, and then let him go to the battlefield to participate in combat, excluding pure "traffic" and forging a true "relationship" with the military. If he is allowed to participate in another big battle and make some merits, will he succeed in being branded as the army?

The Han army on the east bank of the Penchi River opened up successively.

As the firearms behind, there are five thousand riflemen and one thousand three hundred artillery as a group. Their task is to destroy an enemy army located in the upper and middle reaches of the Penchi River.

"Our target is the remaining Roman legions and their vassal servants." Liu Shen learned the news from his immediate superiors: "Compared with other enemy troops that fleeed successively, this group of enemy troops seems to have given up running away. ."

In fact, it was not that Malus fled without taking the troops, but that they had received one bad news one after another before preparing to break through.

The more than 200,000 anti-Han Axis coalition forces on the main battlefield completely collapsed, and it seems that they were also blocked by the Han army. There were originally hoped to regroup the anti-Han axis coalition forces. After being blocked, they were really different. Run each.

The main force of the anti-Han Axis coalition forces is only one piece of bad news. As far as Marus, a unit that still maintains an organizational system, the third line of defense garrison that has been painstakingly built has undergone a devastating rout. , It’s the bad news of five thunderstorms, so you don’t need to care about other bad news.

It took two months to build a line of defense that consumes no idea how much manpower and material resources are needed. They had expected that even if the war ahead was not going well, they would be able to hold on for about a month after retreating to this line of defense. They did not expect that the line of defense built with painstaking effort not only did not play a deterrent effect, but it was very likely that the Han Empire would continue to go west. Advance base for advancement.

Knowing that the garrison on the third line of defense had fled without a fight, Marus, who guessed that Erbata must have also escaped, knew very well that he and others were over.

They are the Roman army. Everyone knows that even if it is a forced march, the short-legged troops can only run 30 miles a day. It is absolutely impossible to safely evacuate into Sassanid territory.

After Marus knew that he would not be able to withdraw, while cursing the Persians was really useless, he was calm.

They really have short legs, and on the premise that they can't get rid of them, they are better off staying in a temporarily reinforced camp because they are overtaken by the Han army when they go out into the field.

"Tell the Han army that I want to meet with the highest commander they are there." Marus watched the Han army pull over, and watched the arrival of the Han army unfold the front without any action: "As the world's first power Believe that the nobles of the Han Empire won’t refuse?"

A strong country has the pride of a strong country. Even if it is destined to face failure, the hope is to get a dignified result of defeat.

Marus did not think that Rome was a weak country. Even if it was to be defeated, it must be defeated frankly. It is best to fight with the enemy who is also the highest commander, and then fight in the eyes of everyone. die.

"Huh?" Qin Song received the person from Rome, thinking that the other party was about to surrender, but he did not expect to invite a duel: "You are destined to be defeated, why should I agree to the request for a duel?"

"Seris is undoubtedly a powerful country, and Rome is also a powerful country." Jon Bass has a strange look: "We are not the same as those ignorant countries. As a powerful country, we should have our own universal laws. The highest is given to the warring parties. Commanding a decent ending is due to mutual respect."

Qin Song was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "I will meet him."

Jon Buss bowed respectfully, turned and left.

The Han people have the concept of "knowing heroes and emphasizing heroes", and they also have the concept of respecting those who are strong, but in many cases it is difficult to meet enemies who can be respected, especially when fighting foreign races.

"Romans, very interesting." Qin Song said to the left and right: "They are worthy of a race similar to ours, and at the same time they have the tolerance of acquaintance with us."

They interpreted the meaning of the Romans as that the Roman general on the opposite side was very clear about the outcome of the next defeat, and planned to end this war here with their own dignified disappointment, and exchange their own death for the Han army to be able to properly. The meaning of treating the Romans after the defeat.

"We are in victory..." Zhao Ping said with disapproval: "Why should the school lieutenant take the risk? Besides, the other party may not be deceived, and wants to kill the school lieutenant to try to cause chaos in our army. ..."

"We are different from the army in the conventional sense." Qin Song was very aware of the risks, and said without paying any attention: "Killing me can cause chaos in the army? That is because the other party thinks too much. If I really get caught Kill, and ask Zhao Changshi to use all the enemy soldiers to bury me."

In the Han Empire, the army of counties and counties would not collapse as soon as the chief general died. The next-level officers were automatically replaced by new commanders. Although a certain degree of chaos cannot be completely avoided, there is no possibility of fatal chaos at all.

Soon after Jon Bass returned, their camp gates were all opened, and groups of flaming red Roman soldiers lined up, and soon formed rectangular formations one after another in front of the camp, one after another. The military formation forms a horizontal array of lines.

After the Han army arrived, the five thousand riflemen dispatched three thousand to arrange the array line in front. The other two wings each had 500 riflemen to cover the artillery to build a position, and the remaining thousand riflemen stayed behind. As a reserve team.

The two armies stood at a distance of 500 meters until a dozen or so people in the two armies moved forward, and then their respective array lines began to move forward. They stopped and advanced to stand in place at the same time until they were about 120 meters apart.

At a distance of 120 meters, even a person with good eyesight can't see the other person's appearance with the naked eye, and can only recognize the general style of the other person's dress.

"Do they dress like us?" Ji Hai lowered his voice and said to Cai Hao, who was standing next to him, "They are red, we are red."

Cai Hao, Cai You’s youngest son, wondered: "Are there problems with your eyes? Except for the similar colors, do we show two thighs? Are we wearing that hard leather armor? Short spears, shields, and short swords?"

Of course they contrasted with the Han Empire's standing army uniforms with cold weapons.

The regular army of cold weapons of the Han Empire had a scarlet battle robe on the upper body, black trousers on the lower body, leggings on the calf, and the armor evolved from zha armor to plate armor, some of which would wear willow armor or fish scale armor.

The regular army in Rome has been wearing a short robe or shirt for thousands of years, with hard leather armor or lobster-like metal forged armor on the upper body, skirt armor on the lower body, but no pants, and metal leggings on the legs. .

As Cai Hao said, apart from the similarity in color, what are the same points between the two?

"Temperament, I mean temperament!" Ji Hai forcefully defended: "Look at them, even in the face of the current situation, they don't seem to be counseled, they are half of our demeanor."

When Cai Hao heard this, he nodded in agreement.

"Shut up!" Xu Guang has warned Ji Hai more than once, but he hasn't changed after repeated teachings: "The next time I don't even need to hit the army stick, I will let you charge alone!"

What Xu Guang was speechless was that their firearms were not traditional uniforms for a long time, they were replaced with more stiff uniforms, and the color of the uniforms was also changed to dark green. What are the two scums talking about?

In the middle of the battle, Qin Song was already facing Marus about five meters apart.

"Dear General Sirius." Marus turned from his horse back to the ground, unfastening the shield tied to the horse, and drew the dagger around his waist, and said: "It's an honor to be with you under the attention of the two armies. , Engage in this battle that is destined to be recorded in poems."

None of them brought an interpreter, and Qin Song couldn't understand what Marus was talking about under no one.

Qin Song didn't plan to dismount at the beginning, he was planning to engage in a riding battle. Seeing Malus dismounting and inviting foot battle, he thought about turning over and dismounting.

Because he was planning to fight a horse-riding battle, Qin Song wore a knight-style armor. After dismounting the horse, he needed to return the knight-style skirt armor to facilitate the battle.

Marus saw that Qin Song was standing there and waiting when he returned the skirt and armor that would become a burden. He somewhat understood that the opponent wanted to fight on horseback before.

Cavalry warfare is more suitable for long weapons. Qin Song was holding Ma Jian just now.

Since it was replaced by foot combat, Ma Jian was definitely not so suitable. Qin Song handed Ma Jian to the guards, and also removed the shield from the battle horse, but compared with the large-area tower shield held by Malus, His shield was a smaller round shield, and then he drew out the war sword from his waist.

The two protagonists of the duel (gladiator) walked a few steps forward when they were ready, and the soldiers from both sides who followed followed by retreated.

"In fact, it is to satisfy your wish before death." Qin Song knew that Marus couldn't understand, or said: "I could shoot you to death with a crossbow on horseback just now."

Marus has studied Chinese before, but the time of study is too short, and he can only understand a few words. He just happened to understand the word "riding a crossbow", and nodded in agreement: "You have the pride of aristocracy."

It means that they agreed to a gladiatorial fight, followed the fighting style of the former commanders of the two armies, and did not use outside moves.

During the conversation, the two had already stepped forward to charge, and when they got closer, there was a metal knocking sound initiated by the intersection of the sword body and the shield.

The two are fighting each other, and their respective armies speak out to cheer for their leader.

The Romans shouted the name of Marus~www.wuxiaspot.com~The Han army shouted in unison: "Wan Sheng!"

With so many people looking at them and shouting and cheering, Qin Song and Marus in the fight were all stimulated to be more excited, and the fighting became more fierce and exciting.

"Is it necessary to do this?" Liu Shen asked Huang Xin, his immediate boss: "Push directly and destroy the opponent, isn't it over?"

Huang Xin did not neglect Liu Shen and explained patiently: "Due to the Persian and Roman propaganda, Dahan's reputation among all ethnic groups is very bad. Duhu and Song Changshi believe that it is necessary to improve Dahan's reputation. Qin. The reason why the school lieutenant agreed to the request of the Roman general was that there was a way to achieve the goal."

For the two people who were fighting, Qin Song seized the opportunity to swept Malus down to the ground with his sweeping legs, and did not let himself be bullied and pressed him up. With a sword, he smashed the short sword in Malus's hand with the tip of the sword. Refers to the center of Malus' forehead.

The Romans' cheering and enthusiasm stopped in an instant.

The Han army yelled more excitedly: "Wan Sheng"
