God Three Group Chat: Three Kingdoms

...

The level of the battlefield exceeds everyone's expectations, and the pressure everyone can feel will become greater and greater. If they are not careful, they will most likely be left dead in the wilderness.

"Should we chase them then?" Wei Yan looked at the silent crowd and said something as if he had gained something.

"Forget it. Now that things have come to this, there is not much point in chasing after them. Parthia can win..." Sima Yi shook his head and rejected the proposal to continue the pursuit.

War makes people stronger, whether it is the opponent or yourself, the result is the same.

The actual gains that Parthia gained from winning on this battlefield were far less than the victory blessing at the conscious level.

One victory after another was won, like an empire rising against the odds, ready to defeat the strong with its weak body.

At this moment and in this scene, isn’t this just another Dragon City?

"What a pity for the great victory in Longcheng..." Sima Yi, who understood the reason behind it, shook his head slightly.

The name of this battle made many people fall into deep thought, and then many people looked at the Parthian army with shocked eyes after they thought about it.

"Is the war on the level of consciousness greater than the level of reality?" Xi Zhong's mind instantly flashed with the judgment of this war, but then he put it behind his mind and directly denied it, "Does the Padiya Empire really have such a foundation? Like the foundation left by Emperor Wen and Emperor Jing."

"If we just talk about wealth, maybe it is true, but as for the political environment, I think it will be basically smooth sailing after this victory..." Sima Yi said with a cold face, talking about Parthia at that time.

He has no shortage of money, is able to settle politics, and further unify the seven major nobles, while the people's hearts are further consolidated. It can be said that it looks not much different from the period of Emperor Wu.

The opponents faced by both sides seem to be very similar if the same substitution is made.

"Vologases V is not Emperor Wu, Atratome and Ardashir are not Captain Huo Qiaoyao, Shapur and Fars Sassan are not General Wei, they are far from it." Compared to such possible events, Wei Yan believed more in his own vision and judgment.

The power during Emperor Wu's reign was not just the power of one individual, but the power of everyone from top to bottom.

How could someone that powerful be matched by anyone?

"Maybe." Sima Yi did not refute Wei Yan and glanced at the pursuing Parthian army.

The same decades of desolation, the same experiences, Emperor Wu of Ganquan Palace, Vologases V of Ctesiphon, the same wealth, the same powerful opponents, the same rise against the odds, would they lead to the same result?

And this pursuit ended before the sun set.

Ganasis retreated to the camp and refused to defend it, ignoring the provocation of the Padian army and relying on the stable camp to defend and counterattack on the spot.

Some of the Parthian soldiers in a leading position, after being forcibly counterattacked once, suddenly became much more sober-minded. They no longer recklessly attacked the camp, but retreated step by step and found a new place to set up camp.

In the previous camp, there were enemy troops inside the city and enemy reinforcements outside the city. After their strength had been demonstrated, they had no choice but to give up.

Fortunately, the loss was not particularly serious this time, but if it happened again, the cost would be incalculable. However, the Parthian army at this time felt like they were stuck in a dilemma.

On one side was the main force of the Roman Empire, camped outside the city, and on the other side was Antioch, the capital of the Syrian province, a city that was obviously not small in size.

No matter which side they attack, they may be attacked by the other side, and with their strength, it is difficult to take down any of them by force.

As for relying on the Han Empire's army to attack cities and capture strongholds, even Vologases V had never thought of this.

The Han Empire's army was an ally, and even a relatively steadfast ally, not cannon fodder to be consumed. In such an obviously asymmetric battle, asking the other side to join the war was simply not treating the other side as a human being.

When the other party obviously respected him and was willing to help him, Vologases V would not be foolish enough to use this method to consume the feelings between them and destroy the alliance between the two sides.

Parthia still needs the help of the Han Empire until it has built a military spirit of its own and possesses top elite troops that can be passed down. It will not be too late to discuss other things then.

So based on this subjective judgment, Vologases V also led his army to take the initiative to lift the siege of the city of Antioch, and then led his army eastward to find an excellent place to station.

As for continuing the attack and capturing Antioch, it was no longer within Vologases V's consideration.

Failure to capture Antioch in the first place meant losing the opportunity to completely take over Rome's eastern provinces.

Vologases V, who was more focused on the present and worked hard, naturally would not make unnecessary gambles in this regard.

It can be said that after resting for a period of time, Vologases V ordered his soldiers to frequently provoke the Roman legions and then fight with the enemy.

As for whether this intensity was high or low, Vologases V didn't care at all.

For the ultimate goal, Vologases V can pay a huge price, even if this price is something he cannot afford now.

But for Ganasi, the Duke of Eastern Rome, the current situation could not continue for long.

In order to avoid being consumed by the Parthian army of Vologases V at a high frequency, a part of the main force was concentrated to open up the road from Antioch to the outside of the city, and then settled in the city of Antioch, which was regarded as a new beginning.

Faced with the towering walls, Vologases V had even less room to maneuver, and the probability of taking the city became even lower.

In this reality, Vologases V could only change his plans and goals, stick to the existing work judgments and methods, change and develop goals, and never change his goals from beginning to end. Naturally, he would not destroy his own strategic planning strategies during the strategic implementation process.

In comparison, all the officers and soldiers of the entire Han Empire were much more relaxed during this period of time. Apart from being on guard against the possible appearance of the Fifth Skylark, they basically just stayed there to sightsee.

See the scenes on the battlefield, strengthen yourself, increase your knowledge, improve your ability to respond, and have stronger battlefield survival ability.
