Chapter 743

"Damn Romans!"

About Marius What ugri said to Wang Meng, that is, one Roman citizen can turn three Persians... A hundred Roman citizens can be equal to two thousand Persians, it was not unexpected that it was spread to ecutia In the ears of Persians such as Bahram.

The so-called Roman citizens are professional warriors. They learn all kinds of martial arts from an early age. When they grow up, they have to learn how to cooperate with their companions. Because of the small population base of Rome, a large number of citizens will be recruited in every war. It can be said that the vast majority of Roman citizens have had the experience of going to the battlefield.

In contrast, whether in the Parthian Empire or the Sassanian Dynasty, there was really no professional soldier in the social system of Persia. The slightly elite troops were just armed and trained, unlike Roman citizens who taught their children how to fight from an early age.

The Roman civil system learned how to kill people from an early age. The Persians on the other side are not the same. Professional warriors fight with ordinary people. To tell the truth, Roman citizens can easily support three Persians.

The war between the Romans and the Persians almost never stopped. Usually, the Persians were on the weak side. But the fact is that, and it sounds like another thing. The Persians not only won't admit that they are weaker than the Romans, they will be angry when they hear similar remarks.

There were only 3000 Persian troops in pingman captain's Department, ergutai Even though bakhram represented Persia to some extent, he was still not qualified to participate in the battle plan formulated by the high-level of the Han army. They were informed to move to the front line. I don't know whether it was intentional or what happened. The Romans were arranged on the same route as them.

Huan Wen had no special idea about the Romans' participation in the war. Since the Persians could join in, it didn't matter if there were more Romans.

In fact, hundreds of thousands of people in the two armies fought fiercely, and thousands of people couldn't turn over any water at all. In view of the fact that one more person might consume some more strength and arrows of the enemy, Huan Wen won't refuse to bring his own dry food to his friendly forces. It's just that those foreigners don't want to spy on military secrets.

For more than two years, the pingman army has been expanding inland, not only opening up production areas, but also the construction of roads. That is, the defense depth of the later expansion is shorter, and most of them maintain their original appearance. In fact, the roads have not been repaired very well.

In such an area where plants grow very fast, there are not only plants but also plants in the eye. Although the road for the army to the front line has been cleaned up again and again, there are weeds and some plant roots in the soil. There are simply forests on both sides of the road, which is equivalent to the road march opened by the team in the forest.

Ugutai Among the Persians brought by Bahram, about 500 of them wore metal armor. It was a kind of armor piece perforated and inlaid with rope in leather. The difference from the armor pieces of various Xia Dynasties was the armor piece.

Due to the relationship between smelting technology and forging process, Zhuxia armour can not achieve the same size of each piece of armour for a long time, resulting in different sizes of armour pieces.

Persians have absorbed nutrition from the West in smelting technology and forging process, as well as a considerable number of technologies and ideas from ah San. They have mastered good smelting and forging technology as early as the Parthian Empire. Once the Parthian Empire's armor and riding gear can make each piece of armor the same size.

No matter in the period of the Parthian Empire or at this moment of the Sassanian Dynasty, the Persians have no change in the manufacture of armor. In addition to leather, they are cloth, and the outer armor pieces are strictly arranged in columns. Looking at the rows of armor pieces, there are barrels as a whole.

The metal armor that can wear all over the body can be regarded as a champion in any civilization, and the champion is the backbone and elite of every regime at all. No one knows how many warriors there are in Sassanian, Persia. To send 500 warriors to the lieutenant Department of pingman school is not only to show sincerity, but also to have a mentality of "brother is not empty at all".

Don't think of ugutai The 3000 Persians commanded by Bahram are soldiers. In addition to 500 armour soldiers, there are 800 soldiers. The rest are servants who can't fight, which is distinguished from their clothes.

Armor men with metal armor and soldiers wearing at least Leather Armor all use spears as their main weapons. A soldier with a spear will have a small round shield and a war knife with a scabbard across his waist. A soldier wearing leather armor holds a spear and has a blade about the same length as a dagger at his waist. Most of the servants did not carry weapons, and there was no trace of soldiers' clothes. They were purely civilian clothes.

The Roman troops walking behind the Persians looked very bright, that is, the most ordinary soldiers had a set of leather hard armor full of Roman characteristics, and those wearing metal armor were plate armor matched with metal plates one after another. The most puzzling thing was that every Roman had a red cloak, and individual officers led the team had a whole row of red shiny hair on their helmets.

The Romans were also very good at using spears. Watching the Roman troops marching in line, one side was holding a square shield, the other a short spear, and Marius in the middle Ugri is riding a majestic horse. In front of him is a row of Roman soldiers with shields and swords at his waist. A little ahead and a little later are Roman soldiers with swords at his waist but javelin boxes at the back.

The Han people will feel that the Romans deserve to be closer. The color of the Roman hair and eyes is similar to that of the Han people. The Romans, like the contemporary Han people, advocate red very much.

Look at the Roman troops in the March. They not only have red cloaks, but also their underwear and skirts. They even have a red scarf around their neck.

Let's see what kind of armor the Han Army had. In addition, except for armor and trousers, they were all red, even the cloak behind individual generals was also red.

If we look at the overall marching arrangement, only the Persians did not arrange the shield soldiers on both sides. For example, the Han Army and the Roman army arranged the shield soldiers on both sides. We can also see whether they have rich experience in jungle marching.

When marching in the woods, you basically don't expect to expand the troops. You can only take the formation of a long snake. This form of marching army has always been the easiest to be cut off. In fact, arranging soldiers with shields on both sides is that no one can guarantee that they will not be raided even if marching in the woods in their own control area. Then at the moment of a raid, the shield soldiers on both sides should organize a shield wall, which is not only the defense against long-range attacks in the forest, but also the key to stabilizing their position.

It's no wonder the Persians. Although there are forest areas in their area, most areas have been developed. In addition, most of the Gobi and deserts, like the Romans, often need to fight in the forest in central and Eastern Europe and Britain. The Han Army had the experience of fighting in the jungle. There were enough dense forests in the south of the mainland. Then, they marched into the Indochina Peninsula and accumulated enough lessons.

Huan Wen has ordered the navy to attack. Although it is necessary to fight a defensive war on land, it does not mean that it is necessary to wait for the enemy to attack.

Under the needs of the overall situation, Si Hongzhuang was ordered to lead the army to attack. The leading forces had long gone out of defense depth, and the farthest was close to the five mile range of the coalition camp. The two sides had long been engaged in fierce battle.

The Persians and Romans, including the subsequent Han Army, are now taking the road opened up by the vanguard forces. In fact, they have entered the war zone.

"It is necessary for us to learn from the Han people..." ogutai Bahram also rode horses, but horses came from the Han Army, unlike Marius Ugri brought his mount. He looked at the dense forest on both sides of the road. If it was closer, he could see clearly. If it was a little deeper, it was either blocked by many overlapping trunk lines, or the forest was too dense and dark: "be careful of the sudden attack of the enemy."

I don't know it's ogutai Bahram crow's mouth was still something. Almost as soon as he finished speaking, a whistle came out of the woods.

The whistle sounded by the Han army. The Han Army had already set up sentries in the woods around the road. Their role was not to block anything, but purely as a warning.

It wasn't long, ugutai Bahram saw three or two Han soldiers running out of the forest. When he was still stunned, two urgent bugles were issued one after another.

The Han Army sounded the horn, which sounded very strong.

In the Roman army, someone picked up the trumpet and blew it. The sound was a little crisp.

At the same time, both sides of the Han Army and the Roman army have organized the shield wall in sections. What's more wonderful is that both Han and Roman people erect spears at the first time after organizing the shield wall, which makes both sides look like hedgehogs.

Eguthai, who has returned to God Bahram yelled loudly, asked the armour to organize the shield wall, and ordered the rest to cooperate with the armour. Instead of foolishly riding on the horse as a target, he jumped off the horse, took out the machete at his waist, and watched the forest roaring.

Of course, the Sentinels who ran out of the woods were arranged in advance, and there were some people with colors on them. It's not that they run away from their posts because they are greedy for life and fear of death. They have been instructed in advance. Of course, in the face of a few enemies that can be solved, they fight with them at the same time, but when there are too many enemies to deal with, they naturally retreat and protect themselves.

"The quantity is hard to estimate?"

Cheng Shuo was the immediate commander of this force. He led 5000 people of his headquarters and Persian and Roman troops to the front line. He frowned at a village chief who reported, but he didn't blame him.

It's a forest area. There are trees everywhere, not to mention all kinds of plants. It's not a place with a wide field of vision. It's strange to be able to easily observe the number of enemy troops in this terrain.

There was a lot of noise in the forest. It was not only on one side, but on both sides of the road. As a result, Cheng Shuo had to doubt whether the front line was in trouble. Otherwise, it was several miles away from the battle area. How could the enemy have a large force infiltrating?

Cold arrows and strange things began to be shot or thrown from the woods. The shield wall kept crashing. The Han Army did not fight back, and the Romans were calm. Even the Persians who hurriedly organized defense had no impulse, and the troops who arranged defense in sections were so silent.

Perhaps the passive silence inspired the enemy. The first enemy roared out of the forest and jumped at the Persians who were easy to bully, and then a large group of enemy ran out of the forest.

Persians are really easy to bully. Xiaoyuandun has worked hard to arrange the shield wall, but it is not as good as the Roman square shield and the Han Army Tower Shield. As a result, cold arrows and strange things shot from the woods have achieved certain results for the Persians.

Then again, there were more than a thousand unarmed servants in the Persian team, who greatly disturbed egutai Bahram's defense. Compared with the Han and Roman troops, the Persians seem to be easy to bully?

Cheng Shuo found that many sections of the long snake team were attacked, and he could probably judge the number of the enemy. Anyway, it must be much more than their team. Seeing that the Persians were the most advanced in hand to hand combat, he had no intention of ordering troops to support. On the contrary, he calmly continued to observe the enemy's next move.

The Romans next to the Persians simply laughed when they saw the embarrassment of the Persians, but some Romans threw javelins at the enemy who bullied the Persians from time to time.

The Romans laughed, but their military quality was not bad. The Romans conquered too many nations. One moment is the enemy and the next is the friendly army. It's really not a little experience. Although there is no idiom of "lips die and teeth die", there are still relevant concepts. It's clear that once the Persians are finished, they will not be better.

Ugutai Bahram saw that the Romans had the behavior of supporting their own side. Although it was a support way that might be injured by throwing javelin, his sense of shame broke out.

"Fight back!" Ugutai Bahram killed an enemy who rushed to him with a knife. Regardless of the fresh blood splashing on his face, he didn't even wipe it. He roared ferociously: "the Romans are watching from one side! Fight back! Fight back! Fight back!"

The Romans can be said to be a "G-spot" of the Persians. It doesn't matter who looks down on them, but they can't let the Romans look down on them. It's worse than death. In an instant, the Persians were "raped". The armour disbanded the shield array and moved forward step by step, and the rest rushed to the nearest enemy with red eyes and fought fiercely.

Marius Ugri saw what the Persians did and pulled his mouth. What is the mentality of the Persians? As a hostile nation that has been fighting for hundreds of years, he doesn't know. It's just that standing on the strong side will feel that the other side's behavior is very funny. He turned to look at the "main flag" of the Han army. The Han Army still maintained a very stable defense, only reflecting with long-range weapons.

"Aren't the cyris deliberately consuming the Persians?"

"No reason?"

To be honest, Marius Ugri didn't understand what the Han Army meant.
