God Three Group Chat: Three Kingdoms

...

After thinking for a while, Ganassis also felt that this was quite likely, in response to Usnafaso's speculation.

"I never imagined these people could be this crazy. If I had known they were capable of this, I should have made preparations in advance." Ganassis, who considered himself very knowledgeable about the Roman Empire, felt at this moment that he was becoming more and more unfamiliar with it.

It's quite surprising that the barbarians living in the Roman Empire longed for Roman citizenship.

However, the more these people yearned for Roman citizenship, the more it demonstrated the prestige and glory of this status. As Roman citizens, they were already blessed with this honor!
“It’s not too late to realize this now. We can use these troops to strengthen our forces and further enhance our combat effectiveness.” Usna Faso, who was able to accept the reality before him with optimism, also spoke with some joy.

If we rely solely on the Roman Empire's eagle-legion, even if we were to defeat the Han Empire's elite forces, the losses would likely be substantial.

The elite Han troops stationed in Armenia truly lived up to their name. Although they still have a long way to go to be considered a truly powerful army, who can guarantee that everything they show is the whole story?
"Now that we've gathered the general intelligence, let's go!" Joshua didn't have many requirements in this regard. As long as he could confirm the opponent's approximate strength, then they should fight.

After seeing the Seventh Legion, Joshua felt that the numbers on the flags could not represent the strength of each legion, much less the ranking of the legions.

In other words, even if the flag is number sixteen, their combat strength ranking may not necessarily be that number.

In this respect, Joshua himself has high aspirations. Without a positive attitude and desire, how could he be among the top?

Previously, there weren't many choices, but now it's completely different. Both Rome and Parthia have entered a period of great change unseen in a century.

Parthia, attempting to rise from the ashes, and Rome, striving to completely eliminate Parthia, both devoted considerable effort to bringing about change in the coming period.

This is both a test and an opportunity for everyone involved, including Joshua.

Prove your strength, prove the results of your efforts, live up to this opportunity, and seize this chance for transformation.

The Sixteenth Legion has been relatively unknown in the empire for so long that most people have almost forgotten about it.

"That's good. Dragging things out isn't a good thing. We can take advantage of this opportunity, when everyone is united, to further suppress the enemy's range of activities and living space." Realizing that there seemed to be no troublesome cavalry units among the troops supporting the Han Empire this time, Ganassis felt much more at ease.

Compared to the Parthian Empire's cavalry, Ganassis was more wary of the Han Empire's cavalry.

That's not just a difference in quality, but also a difference in tactics and skills.

Thanks to the mutual understanding gained during the Hundred Years' War, Parthian cavalry was nothing special. No matter how powerful their attacks were, they couldn't hide the fact that the enemy was inherently fragile. A few volleys of arrows were enough to wipe out the enemy's hard-earned cavalry.

The cavalry of the Han Empire was different. Not only were they numerous, but they were also diverse in type, with completely different roles. No one could guarantee that there weren't any strange or unusual members among them.

Simply relying on arrow rain to suppress the enemy is wishful thinking. If eliminating the Han Empire's cavalry were that easy, they wouldn't be facing such a headache in Mesopotamia.

While the Han Empire's infantry was strong, that was about it. The Roman Empire, which was primarily an infantry-based power, had various ways to deal with infantry, and even heavy infantry was still within their capabilities.

Armenia is only so big, and the Han Empire's elite troops are mainly infantry. They can be driven out by simply compressing the enemy's space for maneuver.

However, expulsion is based on the premise that the other party gives face. If the other party does not give face, then it is self-destruction, and there is no need for hesitation or regret.

As for Parthia's troops and personnel left in Armenia, after learning a little about them, Ganassis lowered his guard against them and focused his main efforts on the elite troops of the Han Empire.

Parthia did indeed leave a considerable number of personnel and troops in this area, but without exception, neither the commanders nor the troops under their command were particularly elite.

Even among many of the generals who commanded the troops, Ganassis had never heard of their names, and they did not match the surnames of the major noble families.

In this situation, to think highly of the other party would be to give them face, but it is clear that Parthia had little face in front of Rome.

Those with strength have a voice, while those without it find it difficult to even get a second glance from Ganassis.

This arrangement by the other side clearly indicates that the Han Empire's elite army will be the main force, with the Parthian army providing support.

To be honest, Ganassis himself looked down on this arrangement, but he had to admit that the other party's actions were not wrong.

Doing this would indeed easily affect the relationship between the Han Empire and Parthia. After all, it would be tantamount to using the Han Empire's army as a shield. If the Han Empire suffered too many losses, it would be a miracle if the two sides could maintain a good relationship.

However, Ganassis could understand Parthia's behavior. After all, Parthia's strength was undeniable, and the longer she could hold out, the greater her chance of survival. In this process, it was not a big deal for her to resort to any means necessary.

However, this is a place that Ganassis can take advantage of.

By disrupting the relationship between the Han Empire and Parthia, thereby breaking their alliance and causing the Han Empire to cease its support for Parthia, Parthia's army could easily and effortlessly defeat them.

Looking back on the first ten years of his life, he realized that he had basically spent his time beating up Parthia, even though each beating was carefully considered and planned.

However, the undeniable reality is that for many years, entering and leaving the Parthian Empire has been as easy as entering and leaving one's own home. They have even come to the vicinity of the Parthian Empire's capital several times, giving the Parthian Empire a severe slap in the face.

It can be said that Parthia, having lost the Han Empire, is very simple and easy to deal with. Even if the other side is changing, it cannot change this situation and status quo.

After all, the powerful nobles within the Parthian Empire wouldn't remain subservient to the royal family forever; such visible contradictions are always the best way to divide and weaken each other. (End of Chapter)
