God Three Group Chat: Three Kingdoms

...

Following Ganassis's order, the banner of the Roman Empire was raised once again, just as it had been in every campaign many years before, as the Roman Empire's eagle-banner legions set foot on Armenian soil.

There was no concealment, no hiding, and no division of troops; the march was conducted openly and honestly, and everything appeared to be aboveboard.

Apart from the barbarian legions that continued their all-out offensive, the Roman legions' regular army advanced in full formation. The imposing presence they exuded made warriors realize what elite troops truly meant, and this army in the midst of their march was the elite.

"Even from dozens of miles away, I can feel the opponent's aura. It's truly domineering!" Gao Lan gripped his spear tightly, looking at the aura emanating from afar, and personally marveled at it.

On the battlefield, every action has its own reasons, and generally speaking, there are both advantages and disadvantages. The difference lies in whether the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.

Such undisguised momentum, while revealing the army's marching direction and movements, also greatly boosted the morale of the soldiers. This was especially true for Rome, which had a massive barbarian legion and was launching an offensive across the entire front, giving them an advantage that outweighed their disadvantages.

The momentum conveyed by the regular army can also radiate to the barbarian legions, thereby giving these barbarian legions a higher fighting will and morale, and even more hope for the future.

It can be said that the more magnificent the central army's momentum, the stronger the boost to the morale and morale of other units.

However, this positive boost also has a negative effect: the stronger the boost from the central army, the more severe the backlash will be when it is defeated. There has never been an exception since ancient times.

Especially for Gao Lan, who had experienced the defeat at the Yellow River, the opponent's momentum was tantamount to exposing his strongest and weakest side.

As long as they concentrate their elite forces and completely dismantle the enemy's central army before the main force can react, then this will be a piece of cake.

However, there are also many troublesome aspects to this. Doing it this way is indeed somewhat inappropriate, since they are only here to buy time, not to bring victory to Parthia.

With the Roman army pressing in, they had ample opportunity and pretext to relocate all the people of this area.

They won't have the opportunity or the time to achieve victory directly.

Understanding the importance of the overall situation, Gao Lan immediately urged his soldiers to speed up the relocation of the surrounding people.

The Gaolan Legion, which also drew inspiration from and learned from the Adaptive Force, acquired a number of capable warriors by utilizing the hunting grounds of the East European Plain, which greatly improved the soldiers' carrying capacity.

While they don't possess the same level of carrying capacity as the Qingzhou Steel Refining Legion, which specializes in transporting steel and thus gains far greater than their own weight, transporting supplies of equal weight to themselves is still no problem.

Not only does it have excellent transport capacity and a fast movement speed, but it is also less affected by terrain, making it perfect for moving houses over mountains and valleys.

As for encountering small groups of opponents, Gao Lan could personally take them down.

Gao Lan wasn't too worried about the possibility and probability of encountering a real enemy force.

On one hand, there are numerous reconnaissance personnel, and on the other hand, there are warplanes patrolling the sky, which can provide early warning and advance evacuation. Even if there is really not enough time to evacuate, Gao Lan is confident that if he leads his army into the mountains, ordinary people will not dare to come into the mountains to attack him.

On the one hand, the unique terrain of the mountainous area meant that only a very small number of armies were good at mountain warfare.

Not to mention other units, even Gao Lan himself was not good at mountain warfare.

Putting yourself on a battlefield you're not good at might seem like a disadvantage, but if neither side is good at it, then it's not such a disadvantage.

Once both sides' strength and explosive power are reduced to a certain level, and then relying on their own legion talents, even if only a small number of people are fully armed and put up a resistance, it will be enough to hold out until the main force completes its re-equipment and battle.

It can be said that for Gao Lan, the plans and tasks he needed to carry out this time were extremely simple.

It's true that I'm a little disappointed that I can't go to the battlefield, but I don't really have much resistance to it.

They were all doing it for the Yuan family, and for their own lord. They had different tasks, and each was simply fulfilling their duties.

Jiang Qi, who had also come to Armenia with these people, looked at the Parthian generals and civil officials around him with a very calm expression.

Perhaps recognizing the exceptional talent of Jiang Qi's army, Ju Yi dispersed the troops after arriving in Armenia, assigning them individual tasks to achieve the most effective and optimal results in the shortest time.

"I'm sure you all know why I've gathered you all here. If you have any objections, you can ask your king." After thinking for a moment, Jiang Qi spoke these words to the people present.

It wasn't because the matter was particularly troublesome or difficult to handle, but rather because they didn't know how to address Vologus V.

For Jiang Qi, addressing the other party as "Your Majesty" would be a challenge to his own values, while calling him "Emperor" would be a desecration of the current ruler. After much thought, he decided to address him as "King," since the other party had been a king before, so there was no difference.

The people of Parthia exchanged glances, seemingly understanding Jiang Qi's attitude towards Vologus V. The tension between them had dissipated, and they felt much more relaxed.

For these people, the Parthian Empire did not replace all the civil and military officials after conquering Armenia; in fact, it only replaced the top level, while the middle and lower levels remained in their original positions.

The reason for leaving such a huge hidden danger is entirely because the two kings are of the same origin and do not want to be too ruthless in this regard. On the other hand, it is also to show mercy and better stabilize the hearts of the people and stabilize Armenia.

However, to the Armenians, Vologis V was an invader, an unreasonable traitor, and naturally, he was hard to win their favor.

So when Jiang Qi revealed this attitude, everyone not only felt relieved, but also somewhat happy.

Although Jiang Qi was neither Armenian nor a member of the Roman Empire, the fact that the other party was at least not a follower of Vologius V was enough. (End of Chapter)
