Conquering Myriad Worlds from the Mythical Three Kingdoms
Chapter 849 Rome and the Barbarians
"Did you really lose the fight?"
When Zhuge Liang received the news from Benito, he was not surprised at all, and he himself did not expect Benito and his men to win.
The Mongols were not the Qing Dynasty. This empire was very terrifying.
Zhuge Liang, Nero and Octavian once studied the military types and military structure of the Mongols and finally came to a conclusion.
That is, there is no possibility for Rome to defeat the Mongols. In fact, the absolute impossibility of victory here does not refer to the Mongol Empire, but to the Mongol detachment like the previous one.
Because Rome has already played all its cards, while the Mongols are still a mystery to Rome. They are even unable to determine the basic framework of the Mongol army.
The only thing we know is about the Mongolian cavalry.
The Mongolian cavalry is an all-round military force that has almost no way to be restrained and can only be crushed through hard power.
The result this time made Zhuge Liang even more convinced that the other side had already studied Rome thoroughly.
In that war, Rome tried its best and indeed burned itself out, but under such extreme circumstances, the characteristics and upper limits of each legion were fully demonstrated.
It becomes a very simple thing to take targeted action.
Moreover, Rome's military system needed reform.
Rome was so short of cavalry.
One of the main reasons why Benito was easily transferred away was that Rome lacked strong cavalry to stop the rampage of the opposing cavalry.
The Roman cavalry was not numerous to begin with, and the losses of the 4th Eagle Banner Scythian Imperial Cavalry, the 7th Eagle Banner, the 9th Eagle Banner, and the 30th Eagle Banner made the situation even worse.
Macrinus was beaten without being able to fight back, and the biggest problem was the difference in mobility.
The Tenth Knight is indeed a difficult problem for the Mongols, but the opponent's multiple three-talent legions are fully capable of restraining the Tenth Knight.
Whether the current Tenth Knight can defeat two fully-strength Mongolian cavalry is really a big question mark.
"Adapt to local conditions? This is really a headache!" Zhuge Liang pondered.
The defeat of Virgilio and his men made the Qing army, which had been hiding, become restless, but this was part of Zhuge Liang's plan.
It is really difficult to attack a city. After all, these cities have been operated for decades. It is unwise to force a siege when the enemy has sufficient troops.
If we can trick the opponent into revealing it, the fight will be much easier.
"How's the situation with Kirby?"
Zhuge Liang did not punish Virgilio and others. Everything was under his control.
"Karbi has sent news that the Qing army has begun to try to find the location of Karbi's army. Karbi is conducting mobile evasion and harassment according to your instructions."
"Let Kirby keep going and continue the harassment, prioritize protecting yourself, and if the situation is not right, you are allowed to retreat to the camp."
Zhuge Liang nodded. With Kirby's phantom soldiers around, they could always better implement suicide attack plans.
The Qing army retreated back into the city, thanks in part to Kirby's fantasy soldiers.
After all, a large group of guards launching a desperate attack at any time and any place would make people feel a little overwhelmed.
"Let's call everyone over for a meeting! The next step might be a decisive battle!"
Zhuge Liang summoned everyone in Rome.
Africanus sat in his seat with a distorted expression, looking at Maximinus, Macrinus, Maximin, Igor, Oleg and other barbarians across from him.
When will these barbarians be able to sit opposite them openly?
But except for Africanus, everyone understood that there was no other way. Without filling the city with these barbarians, Rome's strength would no longer be enough to support an empire.
In the Battle of Monro, too many Romans died.
The three former barbarians and the Roman barbarians have now obtained corresponding citizenship positions through their strength, and in fact they do not have much intention of opposing it.
Roma also retains the idea that the capable are promoted and the weak are demoted.
They did not object to the Roman barbarians being upgraded to become Roman citizens; they only objected to those weak barbarians becoming Roman citizens.
But in fact, after Rome surrendered to Xinghan, the shackles of the barbarians were broken and they regained their spirit.
The spirit that had been suppressed by the will of the Roman Empire regained its vitality and began to develop towards the spirit that had once opposed Rome.
It feels like a whale falling and all things coming to life.
The barbarians' special legions, such as the Celtic Knights of Lake Light, have begun to revive.
Although the Celts were badly beaten by the Mongols and even the Fairy Lake was drained dry by the Mongols, the Lake Knights should have been doomed, but for Zhuge Liang, this was not a problem.
It is said that without the Fairy Lake, the fairy blessing cannot be bestowed, and the Lake Light Knights cannot match the combat effectiveness of the Eagle Flag.
Why not just create another one?
Zhuge Liang relied on the Celts' retelling and the plan of summoning gods to recreate the Fairy Lake for the Celts from the mythology.
What kind of gift from heaven is that? It does not exist at all in front of Zhuge Liang. He will directly copy it for you and it is more useful than the original one.
Today, the Lake Light Knights are equipped with full body armor, large shields and broadswords. With the blessing of the fairies, their combat power is fully sufficient to enter the Eagle Flag Sequence.
But there are problems. The positioning of this legion is more towards cavalry, and it was really helpless to be kite-beaten by the Mongolian cavalry before.
This can be said to be the pride of the Celtics, but now that it has been created by Zhuge Liang, the Celtics feel that there seems to be nothing wrong with being a star Celtic.
The miracles in their eyes were directly replicated by Zhuge Liang. What does this mean? Does it mean that Zhuge Liang is a god?
Today, after being equipped with the full set of skills from Sharma and Xinghan, the Lake Light Knights' frontal combat capability is close to that of the Ninth Spanish Heavy Cavalry of that year, and they are only one step away from the third talent.
Zhuge Liang took a look around and also felt that the composition of the Roman legions under his command was rather strange.
Apart from the five cavalry corps, namely the 10th, 14th, 20th, 30th and the Knights of Lake Light, there are no cavalry.
Apart from these, there were only heavy infantry, and even the only pikemen were the new legions of Macedonia and Maximin.
There were no archers except Scythia.
Even Zhuge Liang couldn't help but feel a headache, what kind of god of war is this who is only good at one subject.
Fortunately, Rome also added some new legions, such as the Burning Guards inherited from the Persian heritage and the Slavic Heavy Axe Legion. "Next, we may have to go through an abrupt war process. I hope you can all be prepared to deal with any situation that may happen at any time!"
Zhuge Liang told everyone about the situation they were about to face. The Qing army might join forces with the Mongols, which was not good news for them.
In other words, they will fight on two fronts.
The Roman generals and officers had little interest in this news. They all wanted to fight the Mongols and had no interest in the Qing army.
However, the officers and soldiers on the barbarian side were quite serious about the news.
Zhuge Liang also knew what these people were thinking, and he had no good solutions to these problems left over from history.
It was as if the hatred between the Eleven Eagle Flags Legion and the Slavs was so strong that it could be called a feud, which even Zhuge Liang could not eliminate.
There is also the feud between the 20th Eagle Flag and the 30th Eagle Flag.
However, Zhuge Liang brought the two sides together very well, just like the yin and yang fish, although they cannot blend, they can continue to operate along the established trajectory.
"Report, Your Majesty, General Kabi reported that a large group of Qing troops are moving outward to establish a stronghold outside the city!"
"Report, Your Majesty, the Mongol army has moved!"
Palmiro was slightly alert, and then quickly informed Zhuge Liang of the latest news.
Zhuge Liang nodded. Although the action was earlier than expected, it was still within expectations.
"It's finally time to avenge our previous humiliation!" Alessandro stood up and said.
As a legionnaire on loan, he couldn't help but feel his blood boiling at this moment. Revenge was a top priority for every Roman Eagle Legion.
Nero and Octavian were also willing to pay this price in exchange for some support from Xing Han and Zhuge Liang, the Roman king.
At the same time, light and shadow appeared, and the bright red enemy movements were being updated in real time, with the approximate size and movement position marked on the side.
But the next moment, the real-time updating map suddenly stopped.
"Palmiro?" Marche asked in a low voice, frowning.
"I'm being disrupted. I can't break through the opponent's tactics for the time being. My soldiers can still see the opponent, but I can't project them out directly!"
Palmiro's forehead was covered with cold sweat. The opponent's move had too much interference effect on the Fifth Skylark, and it almost destroyed their means of auxiliary command.
"Give up the mental connection, use the most basic light and shadow projection, and use sign language to transmit signals!" Zhuge Liang was not panicked. He was not surprised by this situation.
The other side has already studied it so thoroughly, and it would be ineffective if they did not restrict the Fifth Skylark, who serves as Rome’s eyes and ears.
"Benito will be in charge of the center. The Fourteenth Unit is not allowed to directly participate in this battle. You will cooperate with the Fifth Skylark to assist in the command."
Although it is inconvenient without light and shadow, they can still command the army before light and shadow.
"Everyone return to your respective legions and prepare to receive military orders!" Zhuge Liang gave the order calmly.
Even the decisive battle cannot be started in an instant, but what follows is indeed a problem.
But fortunately, they are not on the main battlefield, so they can just delay the opponent first. This is a good opportunity to train their troops.
Although the progress on the Barbarian side is good, it will not do without a top-level legion.
Let's see how many of these legions that have reached the peak of the Royal Guards can break through the upper limit and reach the third talent.
The Roman side, with its small number of cavalry, was soon harassed by the Mongol light cavalry.
The lack of fast cavalry made these Mongol light cavalry even more unscrupulous.
"Assholes!" Luciano of the Eleventh Sacrifice Legion stared at the light cavalry outside the camp with great annoyance. If he left them alone, these guys would do disgusting things like setting fires and shooting arrows.
But no matter what, they can't reach the other side and can only watch the other side show off its power.
The arrows of the Scythian archers, the axes of the Teutonic axe throwers, and the stone blades of the Balearic slingers had little effect on the enemy.
So they could only hide in the camp and wait for the arrival of the enemy army.
Light cavalry would hardly be effective on a frontal battlefield, as they would just have to focus on beating the enemy's infantry.
Virgilio was quite happy. Once this light cavalry was locked by his will, he could kill them with just one arrow.
Relying on this trick, he killed dozens of light cavalry soldiers in a row and had a lot of fun.
"You guys should also learn some long-range attack methods. Look at the Fifth Skylark and the Third Illusion." Virgilio said to
Luciano raised his eyes and looked towards the other legions.
After the Fifth Skylark's position as glasses and ears was abolished, he immediately returned to his position as an assassin.
The light and shadow extended directly into the shadows of others. Without showing his face at all, he directly controlled the shadows, and several black shadows suddenly spread out under the feet of the light cavalry.
Carrying the color of the essence of heaven and earth, he slashed towards the light cavalry soldiers. The light and shadow controlled by Yun Que had already combined with the essence of heaven and earth and possessed real killing power.
The black shadow slashed past, and the light cavalry soldiers were caught off guard. They tried their best to parry, but there was no guarantee that they would remain unharmed. After all, this strange fighting method was also used for the first time by the Fifth Skylark on the battlefield.
Although the mortality rate is not high, it is better than them just standing here and watching.
On the other side, Kirby gave an order and ordered thousands of phantom soldiers to take off from the sky and rush towards the harassing light cavalry.
Even though the phantom soldiers have various drawbacks, Zhuge Liang still developed another means of attack, which is the mobile legion attack.
After arriving at the destination, these phantom warriors exploded directly on the spot. Using their own position as a traction, a ball of red flame was directly transformed, a large amount of clouds poured in, and a huge fireball exploded directly among the crowd.
Even though the light cavalry evaded the attack at the first opportunity, they could not escape the fate of being bombed.
The rolling heat waves and the terrifying sound effects directly shattered the area within a dozen steps of the fireball. Are the phantom soldiers not strong enough to fight?
Then I will just use the Fantasy Warrior as a self-destruct burner!
Even though it requires the support of one's own cloud energy to ignite it, it is the most suitable way of counterattack in this environment.
A huge fire zone will directly hit the face, and anyone with weaker strength will have no way to escape.
In particular, the defense of light cavalry is generally poor, and this kind of mobile legion attack can kill more than a dozen people with one shot.
Although Kirby's attack frequency is a bit low, his range is large and he can cause a lot of damage.
One after another, the fireballs killed about 500 people from the Mongols and the Qing court, using the actual losses to make the other side give up the option of continuing to harass them. After all, these fireballs can really kill people. (End of this chapter)
