"Father, there are only tens of thousands of soldiers left beside King Anxi, even if they are beside us, they are not the opponents of the Qi army!"

King Guishuang shook his head and said, "You don't understand!"

As he said that, King Guishuang slowly stood up and looked at the distant sky, and said helplessly: "The Qi army is extremely powerful, even if we and the soldiers of Anxi may not be able to fight. As long as we climb on the chariot of Anxi, even if we The whole country has fallen, and we can also retreat into the territory of rest."

Only then did the eldest prince understand his father's deep meaning after hearing the words.

Anxi and Guishuang were originally feuds, and they have attacked each other in recent years.

Now if they can retreat into peace, it doesn't matter even if the country falls.

The Qi army only has 30 troops to march west. As long as they can drag the Qi army and let their battle line continue to stretch, sooner or later, the Qi army will be defeated by them.

If only Guishuang resisted, it would be hard for them to win.

But now that they have rest behind them as a fortress, they will be able to stand upright and worry-free.

Just when their father and son were united, they fantasized about a bright blueprint for the future.

Outside the tent, a soldier suddenly ran in in a panic.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty Anxi invites you to come over and say that you have something important to discuss."

important?

King Guishuang and his son looked at each other with understanding in their eyes.

What else is the most important thing at this time, except to deal with Qi State, which is where the soldiers are heading, there is nothing else.

"You stay in the camp, and I will go back as soon as I go."

Chapter 1047 Fanwai Thirteen, Rome Attacks

In King Anxi's tent, King Anxi and his ministers whispered to each other, with anxious expressions on their faces.

After King Guishuang came in, he clearly noticed that something was wrong with the atmosphere.

King Anxi was also unambiguous, and said directly: "The Roman army is attacking our country."

When King Guishuang heard this, there was no more color on his face.

Like Guishuang, there is also an unfriendly neighbor next to Anxi, and this person is the powerful Roman Empire.

In terms of strength alone, although the Roman Empire is not as good as the current Qi State.But their overall strength is far stronger than Guishuang and Anxi.

Since the founding of the country in Parthia, Rome has continuously harassed the borders of Parthia.Most of Anxi's national power is tightly restrained by this neighbor.

Anxi's country is best at cavalry, and Anxi's cavalry is unrivaled in the world.Rome is famous for the Roman Legion, and the Roman Legion's forte is the Roman phalanx.The Roman phalanx can be said to be very powerful, mainly infantry, helping Rome conquer the Quartet and laying down a large area of ​​​​the country.

The war between Rome and Parthia has always been about more victories than defeats, and Parthia is generally in a passive position. The most exaggerated record is that Rome has conquered the capital of the country five times in a row, and there is only one major victory in Parthia's record. victory.

The only victory was because the Roman army was united into a phalanx during the battle. Because of the small number of long-range attack units and the insufficient number of cavalry, it could only be slowly consumed by the opponent. In the end, it collapsed at the touch of a touch, and the 4 army was wiped out.However, in the subsequent wars, Rome learned a lesson and incorporated a large number of long-range attack units in the phalanx. After the Sabbath cavalry archers approached and attacked, Rome immediately used long-range soldiers to drive and repel them, so that cavalry archers who had to approach and shoot could not approach , Coupled with the cooperation of the cavalry, Anxi never won any decent wars again.Later, after several great battles between Sabbath and Rome, Sabbath was beaten weak.

In recent decades, the Qi State has continued to attack, and both Anxi and Guishuang have threatened one after another.

In order to survive, Anxi even sent people to Rome many times, wanting to unite with Rome.

Unfortunately, the Roman Empire is now in the midst of civil strife.

The Han Dynasty was at a time when the princes were separatist, and the Luoma Empire also entered the Severus era.

After Severus became emperor, he immediately went to war with Nigel, who had already become emperor. In 194, Nigel was defeated in Issus. In 197, Severus defeated the rebellious British governor Albanus in Lyon, and the civil war that had started in 193 ended.Severus was a soldier, accustomed to arbitrariness, did not take the senate seriously, removed many senators from important positions, and replaced them with cronies and knights.Severus' rule was backed by the army. He aggressively expanded the army and expanded the Roman army to an unprecedented level. Most of them were foreigners.Severus achieved considerable military success. In addition to ending the civil war, he also defeated Parthia in 197, annexed northern Mesopotamia again and set it as a province.Severus transitioned the princely system to an absolute monarchy.

After Severus died, his two sons, Caracalla and Geta, came to the throne at the same time.Caracalla was another tyrant. In the second year of his accession, he killed his younger brother Geta and his associates. His wife, father-in-law and many famous people were also killed.Caracalla continued to implement Severus' policy of preferential treatment of the army. In order to increase income and expand tax sources, Caracalla issued the Edict of Antoninus in 212, granting Roman citizenship to all free people in the empire. In 217, Caracalla was killed by the guards when he went to Parthia.

After Caracalla was killed, the chief of the guards, Macrinus, declared himself emperor, and his son Diadumenian was co-emperor.After succeeding to the throne, Macrinus accepted extremely unfavorable terms, ended the war with Parthia, and reduced military spending, which caused dissatisfaction among the army. In 218, Severus' sister-in-law Julia Misa instigated a rebellion, and both Macrinus and Diadumenian were killed in Asia Minor.

Mesa made his 13-year-old grandson Elagabalus emperor.Elagabalus worshiped the gods of the East, was licentious, ignored state affairs, and had a very bad relationship with the Senate and the army. In 222, Misa tacitly allowed the guards to kill him, and made another 14-year-old grandson, Alexander Severus, emperor.

At present, the power of Rome is in the hands of Misa, and Misa is taking advantage of Anxi's energy to focus on the east, and mobilizes troops to attack Anxi.

Within a few days, they seized the territory of three Anxi provinces and killed more than 5 Anxi troops.

The situation in the country is urgent, and the prince stationed in the country hastily issued a message asking the resting king to return home quickly.

On one side is Rome, which is aggressively attacking, and on the other side is the country of Qi, which is facing the front.

The two countries caught in it can be described as miserable.

"Then... what should I do?" King Guishuang was at a complete loss. At first, he had hoped that King Anxi would help him, but now it seemed that his situation was not much better.

"Right now, there are only two paths before us. Either surrender to Qi, or find a way to unite with Rome and fight against Qi together."

"United Rome?"

Although King Guishuang hadn't dealt with Rome much, Rome had always been ambitious to attack everywhere, so how could it be possible to easily unite with them.

Moreover, the strength of the Qi State is strong, and a simple alliance, even with the power of the Three Kingdoms, may not be their opponent.

Only the two Guishuang and Anxi were integrated into the chariots of the Roman Empire, and there might be a possibility of a war.

"Is this thing feasible?" King Guishuang was completely at a loss. Seeing what King Anxi said, he also had no confidence in his heart.

"From the current point of view, the certainty is extremely low. If we want to talk to the Romans, at least we have to let them know that we are strong. Therefore, I plan to lead the army to resist the Roman army first. If we can win, we will also You will have the opportunity to have a detailed discussion with them." King Anxi said firmly.

When he said this, King Guishuang panicked.

Anxi withdrew, what should they do?

"Yes, but now the Qi army is on the side. If you leave, what should we do? You and I are allies. If I fail, you must be next to Qi."

King Anxi sighed, patted King Guishuang on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, my friend, I will never forget the friendship between the two countries. Although I have to return to the country first, I will hand over all the soldiers and horses here to you." you."

The worried look on King Guishuang's face quickly dissipated when he heard this.

Anxi's main force is all cavalry, which is the most lacking of them. With tens of thousands of cavalry, they still have the ability to fight against the Qi army.

Chapter 1048 Fanwai Fourteen, Weary Soldiers Attack Daxia

Outside the Lan's city, Qi's dragon flag fluttered in the wind, and soldiers of the Qi army were everywhere on the endless plain.

Daxia just broke away from Guishuang's vassal, and wanted to surrender to Qi State, but he didn't expect Qi State to ignore them at all.Only a few days later, the army quickly arrived, advancing directly in a crushing manner. The soldiers deployed by Daxia on the front line were defeated again and again. Now the [-] Qi army under the leadership of Xue Rengui came to the king's capital, just to defeat Daxia. Xia was completely wiped off the map.

King Daxia looked at the enemies below the city, trembling slightly.

"Your Majesty, the spies are here to report that all the troops of the Qi Army have set up camp outside the city." A general in military uniform came quickly, his whole body full of heroism.

This person is none other than Long Que, the number one fierce general of Great Xia.
