Li Jue was helpless. He knew that these two guys understood. The opponent was also an elite legion, but they were completely defeated. They had high defense, and now they have super high defense. However, the Roman archers actually had a super high rate of fire. And the extended shooting range was completely defeated by the Xiliang Iron Cavalry.
It can be said that if the Roman archers click on the enhanced attack, it will be somewhat useful, but for the archers who click on the rate of fire, for Xiliang cavalry, which is a heavy cavalry without armor, it is completely a gift. , even more food than the infantry, at least the infantry also has a knife.
"In other words, we treat them as food. If others had already killed them," Li Jue said, looking at his two comrades speechlessly.
Ten waves of arrows were fired at the battle. Normal troops would have died long ago, so the Xiliang cavalry regarded it as drizzle. Anyway, for the Xiliang cavalry, they are directly immune to attacks unless they reach a certain level...
"Who makes us the strongest cavalry in the world? These are the worst elites I have ever fought." Guo Bang laughed. He never thought that the first elite regiment he encountered after leaving the Han Dynasty's radiation range would be completely ridden by them. We have never seen an elite soldier defeated by cavalry in the Central Plains.
It can be said that the Roman archers were unlucky. Their original ability to make bows and arrows was mediocre, and their strongest forces were infantry and cavalry. However, they fought with Anxi for a hundred years and absorbed the combat arms that Anxi was best at.
When the country of An'an was at its peak, it had the best bow-making skills of its time, the best-equipped horse archers, and established archers. However, what these best combinations produced was not the most capable.
At least in the Hundred Years War with Rome, Parthia became increasingly miserable. At first, it could rely on mercenaries to carry out classic annihilations like the Calle War. However, as it went on, it became more and more desperate. It can be called a little expert in the empire. .
The powerful Rome knew how to absorb Parthia's sophisticated compound bow technology and copy Parthia's horse archer equipment. However, in the past hundred years, Parthia has become more and more mixed back. Not to mention that the original disadvantages have not been filled, and the original advantages have been absorbed by Rome. .
It would be weird if Anxi didn't die, especially since the Romans also discovered that the combination of archers and horse archers that had been established in Central Asia was very effective. So they also got one archer team after another.
The Romans were also good at adapting to local conditions. They discovered that covering the rain of arrows did not require a high level of archery. It was enough to be able to kill the Parthian horse archers who were light cavalry, and the light cavalry pursued speed. The defense is very poor, so there is no need for a very labor-intensive longbow.
In the end, the archers that the Roman quartermaster came up with according to local conditions were such excellent short bows that they could shoot light cavalry to death, were very labor-saving, and had a range that was one-tenth further than that of cavalry archers.
Because of its low effort, longbowmen who would normally get tired from shooting ten times can easily shoot a pot of arrows. With the help of this ultra-era weapon, the covering arrow rain killed countless excellent light cavalry in Anxi. However, Anxi's garbage military response ability has not been adjusted in a hundred years.
Think about it, a group of 5,000 elite archers shoots more than 200,000 arrows into a cup of tea. As long as the opponent is not a heavy infantry or heavy cavalry monster, the group will be absolutely wiped out.
Especially one day, the Roman archers realized a certain elite ability earlier than the Roman infantry because of their constant pursuit of shooting speed, that is, the shooting speed was doubled, and they could shoot ten waves in three breaths. After the elite ability as ferocious as the ten-shot burst was released, the Roman archers became the only choice for the Romans to hold down the battle.
However, all this is completely useless to guys like Xiliang Iron Cavalry, who are equipped with light cavalry equipment but are actually out-and-out heavy cavalry.
It's like shooting a gun at a tank, it's useless. Shooting ten waves of arrows in three breaths is really powerful, but it's useless if you don't break the defense!
Naturally, the Romans were demoralized and collapsed after seeing the ghost. Li Jue and others took a big advantage and just came over to let An An see what the heavenly army is.
"Your Majesty!" When Futro saw Vorogis V wearing royal robes and holding a royal staff, he hurried over to greet him.
"Where did you borrow the reinforcements from?" Vorogis V said to his ministers while looking at the fierce group of troops stationed aside.
Although he knew that this was reinforcements, in Vologis V's impression, no country near his country had such elites. The organic archers who beat the Romans were like beating their sons, charging with bows and arrows. Surprisingly, no one fell off the horse.
The overwhelming gloomy clouds and the chilling momentum clearly indicated that they were the ultimate national guard force. He couldn't think of any country that would send such elites here for their peace of mind.
"Your Majesty, this is the Han army. Guishang is unwilling to send troops. I heard from Wusun merchants that another Han army was sent from the Western Regions to take control, so I went to ask for help. After learning about it, Han general Li said he was willing to help us." He quickly reported back.
"What you promised them, no less. Give it all to them." Vorogis V said without any hesitation, not even asking what the envoy had made for Li Jue. "By the way, ask the other party, if Allow us to hire.”
There is no shortage of money, weapons, food and grass. The weather here is smooth and food has never been a problem. They are short of those who can fight, and this elite group from the Han Empire finally allowed Vorogis V to I understand that the Huns did not lose unjustly.
When the Huns mercenaries came out, they really overwhelmed the Romans. Although it can be seen that the Huns did not try their best, but even if they tried their best, look at the power of the Han army, they were just beating their sons. Well, the high-quality archers of Rome simply There's no room for a backhand, okay.
With this fighting power, the Xiongnu's defeat was not unjust at all. No wonder the Northern Huns, who were domineering in the Western Regions, refused to return to their hometown grassland in the east even if they were beaten to death. They did not dare to go back at all. Well, with a hundred thousand such terrifying cavalry, who would you see? Who can I crush?
Of course, the fact is that Vologis V overthought. When the Xiliang Iron Cavalry was at its peak, there were only a hundred thousand, and even fewer could catch up with the group of lunatics led by Li Jue.
"Thank you for the help from the Han Empire." King Anxi personally went over to bow to Li Jue.
However, Li Jue and others could not understand the words of the Parthian King at all, and they could not tell that this middle-aged man in silk was the Parthian King.
"Your Majesty, they don't understand what we are saying." Flot quickly explained to the king when he saw that Li Jue and others were ignoring their king.
"Envoy, we have settled it for you, who is this guy?" Guo Bang said immediately when he saw the Parthian envoy.
Flot was also considered a language genius. It took him a while to barely guess the meaning. He pointed at King Anxi, then took a few steps back, gave the king a salute, and said in stiff Chinese, "My Majesty!" (To be continued.)
