The Three Kingdoms

"Attack, cut!"

"The generals of the Great Wu will advance when they hear the drums, and retreat when they hear the gold. Military orders are like mountains, and they will not be disobeyed even if they die!"

"kill!"

In the barracks, the training grounds opened up one after another are very lively, and the soldiers are facing the scorching sun's rays in the sky, and are in the process of intensive training with sweat on their backs.

The battle is imminent, and every soldier of the Snow Leopard Legion is very urgent. They know in their hearts that training is a drop of sweat, and then there is an extra chance of survival on the battlefield.

In a meeting hall of the barracks.

Tai Shici sat cross-legged in the first place, Yan Xing, deputy commander of the legion, sat on the side, Sun Ce, Minister of the Ministry of War, sat in his subordinate position, Zhao Yun, Pan Feng and the warlords sent by the two imperial courts sat in Yan Xing's subordinate position on the left.

Sitting beside Taishi Ci are Zhuge Liang and Chen Gong.

When Xizhou was established, Han Sui was dispatched from the military and served as the governor of Xizhou. Zhuge Liang took the opportunity to occupy the position of chief of staff of the Ninth Army, and Chen Gong was the deputy chief of staff.

The commanders, chiefs of staff, division commanders, and division chiefs of the other legions sat side by side one by one, with solemn expressions on their faces.

"Everyone, Zhou Tai just sent someone to send the news that the Sea Eagle Legion has crossed the Persian Gulf, entered the Asian province of Mesopotamia, and fought against the Roman army!"

After a while, Tai Shici raised his head, glanced at the generals, and said calmly.

"Did the Roman Empire have a navy?"

Hearing this, Sun Ce frowned and asked.

"Have!"

Tai Shici nodded, and said: "The scale is not small, and the combat power is not weak. According to the news from Jin Yiwei from the Roman Empire, the territory of the Roman Empire was built around this sea area. Ships are their important means of communication, so their The sea corps is very powerful!"

"What did Zhou Tai say?" Zhuge Liang asked with narrowed eyes.

"Zhou Tai only said that he can contain the Roman army, but his Sea Eagle Legion is no longer able to help in the battle of the Parthian Empire. We can only rely on ourselves to defeat the Parthian Empire, and we must fight quickly. Once Rome feels that we have come to attack the Parthian Empire, they will definitely dispatch a large army from the Roman Empire to the east!"

Tai Shici said: "They should not just watch us take down the Parthian Empire. Once their army joins the battle, it will be even more difficult for us!"

"I'm not very worried about this. The main force of Rome has already returned to their country. Even if they dispatch troops from the Roman Empire, it will take at least three months to prepare. Now it's more than July, and it will be early winter by then, and it will be difficult to march. , there is no half a year without being unable to fight!"

Zhuge Liang squinted his eyes, his eyes flickering with confidence: "We should have enough time to take down the Parthian Empire!"

"But according to Jin Yiwei's detection, the Anxi Empire has gathered as many as 30 soldiers, all of whom are deployed on the front line of the eastern border, fully defending us. If we attack by force, we will suffer great damage!" Pan Feng said in a deep voice with narrow eyes.

"It's the best strategy to catch the unexpected and attack the unprepared!"

Zhuge Liang said: "Fighting head-on, the damage is too great. We have to find another shortcut and raid Taixi Fengcheng, which is equivalent to winning the heart of the Anxi Empire!"

"Ctesiphon, the capital of the Parthian Empire?"

When the generals heard this, their eyes immediately brightened. (To be continued.)

[Chapter [-] of the text, Extinguishing Sabbath II]

The Parthia Empire, also known as the Parthian Empire, belonged to a slavery empire with a large territory, larger than the Guishuang Empire to the east of them, and larger in population than the Guishuang Empire.

As a large empire in the west that has existed for hundreds of years, the Parthian Army has a standing army of at least 15. If they are in danger of extinction, the Parthian Empire can quickly recruit a large number of serfs and slave soldiers.

In other words, they can at least form an army of 30 troops.

Faced with such a powerful force, even if the Snow Leopard Army had a sharp weapon to break the city and a large number of black powder bombs in their hands, they didn't really want to fight them head-on, because even if they won this battle, the Snow Leopard Army would at least be able to fight against them. It's going to hurt your spirits.

"Attack on Ctesiphon?"

"That's a good suggestion!"

"Catch the thief and catch the head!"

"If Taixifeng can be captured, and King Anxi can be beheaded or captured, the overall outcome of this battle will be decided!"

Zhuge Liang's strategy made many generals in the hall a little bit excited.

"However, Taixi closed the city. In the western part of the Parthian Empire, it was in contact with the newly established Mesopotamia province of the Roman Empire. The main force of our army is basically in the east. It may not be so easy to forcefully cross it! "

As the chief general, Tai Shici thought more, his eyes were solemn, he stared at the detailed map of the Anxi Empire, and refuted Zhuge Liang's statement with some doubts.

"What the commander said is true!"

Zhuge Liang nodded with a smile, he stood up, pointed at the map, and began to explain in detail, saying: "Based on the information we have learned so far, Anxi's standing troops, plus their newly recruited serfs and slave soldiers, are more than Thirty kings, they have deployed all their troops in Mulu City, Sucia City, and Tela City, the three northeast cities, facing us, forming a triangular staggered defensive battlefield, plus their strength in the triangular battlefield There are a large number of cavalry on the two wings, which can be regarded as the airtight defense of the east, and it is very difficult to kill them!"

"The cavalry on the two wings? The cavalry's defense is relatively weak. Can we use the cavalry to hedge, break through the cavalry on their two wings, and then kill them from the flank?"

Sun Ce said coldly.

"Sun Shangshu, you may not know the Parthian Army. Among the Parthian Army, their cavalry combat effectiveness is the strongest, accounting for [-]% of the Parthian Army's combat effectiveness!"

Yan Xing suddenly opened his mouth, and said bitterly: "During the First World War in Mesopotamia, when we fought Rome, it was their cavalry that the Parthians attacked us. Although there are many Parthians and horses, most of their combat power is Concentrated on their cavalry, whether it is marching speed or combat effectiveness, they are extremely powerful, and almost wiped out our entire army in the land of Mesopotamia!"

The strongest soldiers and horses in the Parthian Empire are armored cavalry.

Iron armored cavalry is a powerful cavalry composed of nobles in the Parthian Empire. This cavalry is the honor of the Parthian Empire. It once defeated the attack of the Romans. It is well-equipped and has a strong individual quality. Above the cavalry of the legion.

In the original battle, the Wu army was defeated by Anxi's cavalry, which allowed Anxi's armored cavalry to break through their camp, which eventually led to a tragic defeat, and the entire army had to withdraw from the Mesopotamia region.

"Aren't our cavalry their opponents?"

Sun Ce frowned.

Wu Jun originally started from the Jiangdong Army. Although the cavalry continued to expand, and many foreigners were selected as cavalry generals, the combat effectiveness of the cavalry was indeed not very elite. For Wu Jun, the most powerful combat effectiveness was the infantry.

"Bo Fu, although I don't want to destroy our Wu army's prestige, but as far as our Snow Leopard Army is concerned, the cavalry is indeed somewhat insufficient. In a head-on confrontation, it is no match for the Anxi cavalry!"

Tai Shici said: "We have fought against each other many times, but we have never defeated his cavalry!"

"This doesn't work, that doesn't work either, let's face the strong attack directly!"

Pan Feng said coldly: "I don't believe that their triangular battlefield can't be broken. Even with a strong defense, they can't stop the attack!"

"Hehe, General Pan doesn't need to worry!"

Zhuge Liang, however, was a little calm. He swept his eyes and said with a smile: "It is not impossible for us to break through Taixi Fengcheng. We just need to change the priority of this battle!"

"Primary?" The generals were unclear.

"The previous main attack was our Snow Leopard Army, and the auxiliary was the Sea Eagle Army, but we can change the concept!"

Zhuge Liang pointed to the distance between the province of Mesopotamia and Taixifeng, the capital of the Parthian Empire on the map, and said: "If we suppress the strength of the Parthian Army to the east, then the west side of the Parthian Empire will be empty. At this time, the Seahawks suddenly gave up on the province of Mesopotamia, turned their troops around, and attacked the city of Taixi from the west. The effect should be good. If they can successfully break through the capital, they can take down Vologassis V , then the hundreds of thousands of Anxi soldiers and horses in front of us will collapse in an instant, the dragons will have no leader, and they will do their own thing. At that time, we will be able to divide up the encirclement and destroy the Anxi Empire in one fell swoop!"

"This plan is easier said than done!"
