Chapter 6769 There are enemies(1/2)
2023-08-16 Author: Wandering Monkey
The Roman envoy knew that there would be many dangers in this trip, but at this moment, he had no more choices. If he could not return to the Roman Empire faster, more dangers would follow. The most important thing is
The Roman Empire may suffer even more losses in the coming war, which is intolerable.
The proud Roman Empire's achievements in the war were brilliant, and it had an absolute advantage when facing the Parthian Empire. However, it was precisely because of the emergence of the Jin Kingdom that everything changed greatly.
Danger is relative. The Roman envoy believed that as long as a team returned to the Roman Empire, the subsequent situation would be beneficial to the Roman Empire, and the Roman Empire would even get greater benefits from this alliance.
The Jin State hidden in the dark is really too terrifying, and the Roman Empire, which has little experience in fighting against the Jin State, will become even worse as long as it despises the Jin State.
Five teams, moving in different directions, can attract more attention from each other.
"Is there anything unusual around here?" the Roman envoy asked.
The general in charge of the scout shook his head: "There are no people nearby, so the envoy does not need to be too cautious."
"It's not that I am being careful, but that our opponent this time is very powerful. With our current strength, it is too difficult to defeat our opponent." The Roman envoy said with concern.
If it were possible, the Roman envoys would definitely equip the soldiers with the combat weapons they transported. The key is that the officers and soldiers in the army knew very little about these combat weapons. They only gave the Jin army soldiers a lesson and talked about some of them.
It's just a matter of attention.
If you are not proficient enough in using it, your combat effectiveness will be affected.
The time given to the Roman envoys was too short, and the Roman envoys knew even more clearly that if they did not oppose it as soon as possible and the Roman Empire attacked the Parthian Empire, they would suffer more hardships in the war.
"The Parthians have gone too far. When we attack Parthia in the future, we will definitely let the Parthians see the power of the Roman legions." A general said angrily.
The Roman envoy nodded. "In any case, the most important thing at the moment is to ensure the safety of the team. The materials in the team can reach the Roman Empire smoothly. Otherwise, our previous efforts will be in vain."
"I understand," everyone said one after another.
Although they knew that there would be many dangers in this trip, the Roman soldiers did not have the slightest fear. As elite Roman soldiers, they faced many cruel wars. They were the elite who came out of the war. Even if they were
Even in the face of complex situations, we will not give up easily.
And as Roman soldiers, they have their own glory.
Although the strength of the Jin army is strong, and it showed unparalleled strength during the drill, the Roman soldiers believed that they had no more concessions than the Jin army, and the Jin army only occupied equipment.
Just an advantage.
And when the soldiers of the Roman Empire also had these sophisticated equipment, they would show an even more terrifying side in war.
For the development of the empire, he would not hesitate to pay the price of his life.
It is good to have a thorough deployment and strictly explore the surrounding news, but if things go on like this, other situations will still arise, and the Roman envoys are aware of this.
The Roman envoy's choice this time was the most dangerous. He chose the opposite path to returning to the Roman Empire. This was also to confuse people with ulterior motives to a greater extent.
For three consecutive days, no accidents occurred, which caused the envoy team to gradually relax their vigilance. They operated at night and were able to stay hidden to a large extent, and they chose sparsely populated areas.
Even if someone discovers the trace, it may be several days before they pass on the news.
The night was as dark as ink, and in the pitch-black night, you couldn't even see your fingers.
This team of envoys was headed by the Roman deputy envoy.
After experiencing the initial caution, the Roman deputy envoy believed that the so-called danger in this trip was just the envoy's guess. With the powerful strength of the Roman Empire, if the Parthian Empire dared to attack the envoy's team, it would inevitably attract the empire's
attack.
The anger of the empire cannot be easily resolved. How could the Parthian Empire, which had experienced the failure of the Kushan War, do such a stupid thing?
The Roman deputy envoy gradually became lax about the safety of the envoy's team. The same goes for the soldiers below. Traveling like this is quite tiring. You don't have enough food and sleep. According to what the envoy said, if you are not careful, you may lose it.
Little life.
The long-term mental stress caused the scouts in the team to fall asleep in the night.
At this moment, under the cover of darkness, three teams quietly arrived around the Roman deputy envoy.
There are three cavalry teams, each with more than 80 people. From their clothes, it is not possible to tell which force they belong to, but if you look closely, you will find that their clothes are clearly the style of the Parthians.
The sleeping Romans were unaware of the approaching danger.
"Kill!" Looking at the cavalry team ready to go, the general in front roared.
The war horses immediately started galloping. In order to ensure the concealment of their actions, they had wrapped thick cotton on the horses' hooves, but now they were approaching and no more cover was needed.
The purpose of this trip is to destroy this team of messengers.
Even if there are survivors, it is based on planning in advance.
The ground was shaking gently, and a Roman scout woke up from his sleep. His battlefield experience made him wake up as soon as he felt such a movement.
Rubbing his sleepy eyes, the Roman scout was completely sleepy. Not far away, the dots of firelight were particularly conspicuous in the dark night.
"Cavalry, there are enemies." the scout shouted.
As soon as he finished speaking, several arrows hit him with precision, and the Roman scout immediately fell into a pool of blood.
However, the message delivered by the Roman scouts at the cost of their lives obviously had an effect.
And where the Roman deputy envoy was stationed, warnings sounded loudly, and cavalry appeared in all three directions, and they had a numerical advantage.
The cavalry will have a huge advantage in the battle. It will be very difficult to succeed against such an opponent.
What worried the deputy envoy the most was where the opponents came from this time and what kind of plans they had.
If it was sent by the top leaders of the Parthian Empire, then this time it would definitely be a disaster, and the most likely outcome would be that they would be silenced.
After all, such a thing is dishonorable, and the two armies are fighting without killing the envoy.
But when the opponent's actions are more crisp and clear, when they finish better, it is completely okay. As long as the information is not leaked, who can know that these things are done by the Parthian Empire.
"Get ready to fight." The Roman lieutenant shouted as he hurriedly walked out of the camp.
The Roman deputy envoy's team consisted of more than 300 elite soldiers, including 50 cavalry. With such combat power, even if they encountered three times the number of enemies, they would still be able to defeat them.
Confidence can survive for a while and then leave the battlefield.
The soldiers of the Roman Empire were extremely powerful, and they would not show any mercy when facing the enemy.
The roar of the Roman deputy envoy caused the envoy team to lose their initial panic and move closer to the deputy envoy.
At this moment, the unique sound of the three-eyed cannon sounded all around.
The three-eyed gun is a combat weapon of the Jin army. It is equipped with a lot of equipment in the Jin army. What it can show on the battlefield is amazing power, especially in a head-on battle. The three-eyed gun can cause great damage to the enemy.
The suppression caused the enemy to suffer heavy losses in the battle.
This time, Rome purchased a large number of three-eyed cannons. The Roman deputy envoy was well aware of the power of the three-eyed cannons.
In addition to shock, the Roman deputy envoy's expression also showed deep worry. The unidentified enemy was equipped with a three-eyed blunderbuss, which meant that the opponent would show more terrifying strength when attacking. The enemy was in
Dark and unknown in quantity, this encounter may lead to more uncontrollable situations.
"Immediately send someone to spread the news that unidentified enemies are attacking us. They use three-eyed blunderbuss and are extremely powerful. If there is no follow-up news, the entire army is likely to be destroyed." The Roman deputy envoy said in an urgent tone.
With the current size of the envoy team, it is very difficult to get out of the war quickly.
If he had not seen the enemy's offensive methods, the Roman deputy envoy would still have a certain degree of confidence, but the appearance of the three-eyed gun made the Roman deputy envoy give up immediately. Even if some people could escape from the battlefield, most people would definitely have to
Some of the combat weapons that were transported will inevitably fall into the hands of the opponent.
The Roman deputy envoy believed that this was the work of the Jin army. After all, it was no secret that the Jin army was equipped with three-eyed blunderbuss, a weapon of war. However, the Roman deputy envoy denied his view. In the Parthian army, there were probably three-eyed cannons.
After all, the relationship between the Parthian Empire and the Jin State was good. In order to make friends with the Jin State, Parthia paid the price of three cities.
There is no shortage of smart people in the Parthian Empire. How could they just watch the Parthian King give up three cities to the Jin State? There must be enough benefits for the Parthian senior officials to not let go.
In this case, it makes sense for Anxi to have three-eyed gun equipment.
The national power of the Jin State is strong. If the Emperor of Jin is angered by his speculation and allows the Parthian Empire to gain more support from the Jin State, it will be more than worth the loss.
Therefore, the Roman deputy envoy was more cautious when conveying the news.
As for whether the cavalry sent out can convey the message, it is difficult to know.
The enemy in front of us appears and disappears. Their whereabouts are so hidden that they are still detected by the opponent. The most terrifying thing is that the scouts did not detect the slightest situation before. The enemy is too well prepared.
The Parthian Empire has such conditions, and it is most likely that the Jin State also has such strength. However, it is not close to the Jin State. If people from the Jin State do this, it will be very difficult.
Besides, what benefits would it bring to the Jin State to be at odds with the Roman Empire? The people of the Jin State did not have many reasons to do so.
Of course, this is just the opinion of the Roman deputy envoy.
The battle started quickly, and with the speed of the cavalry, it could be said that it was over in an instant.
The sounds of fighting were everywhere, and what attracted the most attention to the Roman deputy envoy on the battlefield was the impact of the three-eyed gun.
It was good to have a certain understanding of the Jin army's combat weapon, the three-eyed gun, but there was a lack of intuitive feeling about the destructive power the three-eyed gun would show in war.
Now the wish of the Roman deputy envoy has come true. When these enemy troops equipped with three-eyed blunderbuss are fighting on the battlefield, the Roman deputy envoy finally understands the great value of the three-eyed blunderbuss. If the Roman legions can equip a large number of such combat weapons
, then the Roman Legion will achieve even more brilliant achievements in the war.
Relatively speaking, the losses that may be sustained during the transportation of these combat weapons are somewhat weak.
For the already powerful Roman legion, victory on the battlefield was the most critical. Failure to gain more victories from the war meant failure.
At present, the Roman Empire has more possibilities when dealing with wars, and these possibilities can allow the Roman Empire to achieve greater achievements. If the means of war can be greatly improved, the achievements of the Roman Empire will definitely be greater.
