God Three Group Chat: Three Kingdoms

...

With the official arrival of winter, Rome's attacks on Parthia and Ctesiphon officially began.

For Rome, fighting in the spring and summer is the easiest, while fighting in the winter is the most difficult.

Therefore, Rome chose to start the war in winter, ignoring the additional difficulties caused by the weather, and launched an attack directly.

On the one hand, they didn't want to give Parthia more time to recover, and wanted to continuously put pressure on her.

Another factor is the weather. Since winter is already the most difficult season, as long as the fighting continues, the weather will eventually get better, just like the war they are about to begin, which is progressing in a positive direction.

Parthia, having anticipated this situation, implemented its defenses and interceptions according to plan, attempting to achieve its desired outcome during the winter.

In this wartime environment, no one thinks about what will happen next year, nor what to plant next year.

Given that most people won't survive this winter, no one will think that far ahead.

The screams and shouts were the main theme of the battlefield, especially the main battlefield of Ctesiphon, where the protracted war had officially entered its final chapter.

Even the Kushan Empire, which was deeply mired in war, spared some personnel and energy to observe and understand the Ctesiphon War at that time.

With winter approaching, the pace and pressure of war in the Han Empire lessened considerably, allowing the Kushan Empire more energy and time to devise strategies to counter the Han Empire's next offensive.

As for getting the Han Empire to stop its offensive, that idea is no longer held.

From the start of the war until now, the Han Empire has been proving one thing through its actions: the words it once spoke were not a joke, nor were they meant to tease them.

After learning about the growing strength and fighting power of the Han Empire, even the once incredibly confident and resolute Kushan Empire had to start thinking of more ways to cope with the Han Empire's war pace and pressure.

In addition to researching more secret techniques, developing better equipment, training more soldiers, and leveraging the advantages of their geographical environment, etc.

The war between Rome and Parthia made the Kushans realize that they could learn from the wars of other empires, using their war models, secret techniques, coping methods, and war strategies to attack from the sidelines and thus become stronger.

Moreover, the Han Empire itself was involved in the war between Rome and Parthia. If they hadn't participated, wouldn't they have suffered even greater losses?
There's no need to deploy more troops; simply sending people to observe is sufficient. Based on the observations, they can learn a great deal.

You don't need to learn more than the Han Empire; you only need to know what it was.

There was no way around it; the Han Empire was becoming increasingly ruthless, and its pace of progress was accelerating.

The strength of the Han Empire's army in the past was still within an acceptable range, but the Han Empire's army that has entered the battlefield this year is really hard to accept.

Especially after arriving at the battlefield between Rome and Parthia and seeing the Han Empire's army on the outer field, the Kushan observation group fell silent. "If I remember correctly, the Han Empire has already deployed over a million troops to deal with us..." Mayaro, one of the observation group members and also a master, put aside his previous mission and led several people to this battlefield, and immediately fell silent.

They once thought that the Han Empire had deployed all its elite troops to deal with them, but now it seems they were just overthinking it.

Putting everything else aside, if this elite Han Empire force supporting Parthia were to be deployed in the war against the Kushans, they would need to deploy at least three times the number of troops just to hold them off, and even then, they would only be able to hold them off.

“I’ve only ever heard my ancestors say that the Han Empire was brutal, but I never imagined it could be this brutal. I remember there were a large number of Han troops stationed in the Pamir Mountains, I heard it was about 100,000 cavalry…” As one of the experts in the north and also a supporter of Vasudeva I, Vaklaisi carefully described the scene he had heard in his memory.

Unlike his lack of understanding of the Han army in other places, Vacrysi truly understood the actual deployment of the Han army in the Pamir Mountains region.

All of this was thanks to the friendly exchanges between the two sides, which enabled many people to have a clearer and more accurate understanding of the actual situation of the Han Empire.

If it weren't for his unwavering loyalty to Vasudeva I and the influence of some southerners' thinking, Vaklaisi might have already fled with the rest of the group.

Participating in such a demonstration nowadays is itself a way of showing loyalty and expressing one's feelings.

"A hundred thousand cavalry troops?" Mayero turned to look at Vaclaisi, but ultimately did not inquire about the source of this information, nor did he deny its authenticity.

He certainly wouldn't have believed it in the past, but after fighting for so long, he had a good idea of ​​the Han Empire's strength and capabilities.

While the sheer number of cavalrymen was frighteningly large, considering that the Han Empire could deploy tens of thousands of cavalry units in the desolate south, it seems understandable that they could do so in the north, a region more suited to cavalry warfare.

I wonder who this huge cavalry force was intended for, given the location and purpose of deploying it there.

They did not advance further west to support the Parthian army in its fight against the Roman army, nor did they deploy troops south to further intimidate the Kushan forces in the north.

It is truly difficult to understand, and it is impossible to discern the specific combat intentions and thoughts of the Han Empire.

Such a large cavalry force, no matter which battlefield it is deployed on, can create an absolute battlefield advantage and put enormous pressure on any enemy.

"It's alright. There are only a few hundred thousand cavalry in the Pamir region, while the Han Empire has even more cavalry units. I think I heard a reply that there are a million warhorses..." Vakresh waved his hand casually, casually stating a huge number.

"A million warhorses?" Milarepa, who had been silent until now and was also a master of the Vasudeva lineage, was completely dumbfounded.

Under normal circumstances, the understanding of warhorses is that an excellent warhorse means that there are a larger number of auxiliary horses.

Millions of warhorses mean horse farms with millions of horses... (End of Chapter)
