The combat effectiveness of this legion is a mystery, but this legion and the 30th legion stationed in North Africa are very special cases.
To put it simply, the 20th Legion stationed in Great Britain does not like the Governor of Great Britain at all, and the 30th Legion does not like the Governor of North Africa at all. These two legions will always work like the same father, don't worry about the father, and don't ask why. , the question is that dad is beating people.
What's more important is that in official history, since the 20th Eagle Banner Regiment was stationed at Hadrian's Wall, the Celts have never broken through from where they were stationed, and this situation does not only refer to the current situation in the second century. , but also refers to the situation after Caracalla committed suicide and experienced a long three-century crisis.
However, at present, this legion is relatively mysterious. At least judging from the information obtained by the review team, this legion is indeed very strange.
As an Eagle Banner Corps, it's okay to be stationed in Great Britain, which currently has no enemies at all. It actually has no experience of returning to Italy to report on its work all year round. It feels like it is completely using Britain as its home base. The problem is that this is an Eagle Banner Corps.
Theoretically speaking, the Eagle Legion currently being compiled by Rome will not be too weak, and this should not happen in any case. However, in fact, the 20th Legion has really stayed in Great Britain and has not participated in the internal affairs of Rome at all. idea.
"This legion may be difficult to deal with." Shen Pei sighed and said. These days, for the Roman Empire, a legion with such great autonomy is definitely not an easy person to deal with. After all, these days, only strength can is the best pass.
"We have already prepared for this. In fact, when we detoured from the Arctic Ocean to Great Britain, we were mentally prepared. After all, the mistress also said that there is always a legion stationed there." Chunyu Qiong said calmly, he was indeed Come to sacrifice your life to accompany the gentleman.
After all, I have known Shenpei for so many years. In addition, I have experienced Yuan Shao and Yuan Tan in this life. I have endured many hardships and experienced too many things. The friendship between these acquaintances has become deeper than before. It was a lot, so Chunyu Qiong decided to send it for review and matching.
"Let's avoid the 20th Legion as much as possible and don't fight with each other." Shen Pei thought for a while and said, "Great Britain is not small. There is only one 20th Legion and two Barbarian Legions. As long as we are careful, it is actually the same. Can be avoided.”
"I think so too. Just be careful when the time comes." Chunyu Qiong nodded, but that's what he said, but what happens next will determine the fate of their Yuan family's country. How can you just get out of the way? The war horse definitely needs to be snatched back.
"Then let's sort out the supplies again and head there. Thank you that the winter in the north is long enough, giving us more time to go to Great Britain." Shen Pei had a praying look. Even the most determined wise man arrived here. Sometimes, I will also pray with some extravagant hope.
"They were caught off guard and they probably wouldn't have thought that we would go to the Arctic Ocean." Chunyu Qiong nodded and said.
At the beginning, the Yuan family's plan was similar to the idea of the former Celtic clan leader. Take a boat and come over by boat. But the problem with the Yuan family is that a full army requires a large number of ships, and the Yong family has There are no shipyards.
There were only dozens or hundreds of Celts at that time, so they could just use a small boat to float over on the ocean current. But how could a Yuan family legion be prepared to float across, so in the end the reviewer decided to take advantage of the winter to directly float across the ice. Walk over.
Not to mention that this era is in the Little Ice Age, even in later generations, the Arctic Ocean will be frozen solid in winter, and this kind of peripheral ice will last for several months, which is enough time for Shenpei, of course. There is also a big flaw in doing this. Once the weather warms up early next year, Shenpei and others will be trapped in Great Britain.
The possibility of this is not small, because the current Han Dynasty does not have the climate and hydrological data of Great Britain. All they can use is experience, and no one can guarantee that they will not make mistakes with experience.
But Chunyu Qiong finally agreed to this plan. Even though it was very dangerous, given the current situation, they did not have many choices. If they could get those war horses one day in advance, the Yuan family could accumulate their own combat effectiveness one day in advance.
The Yuan family has been quite exhausted from the battle in Eastern Europe. So far, the Yuan family's soldiers who have died in Eastern Europe have exceeded 25,000. Even though most of them are Slavs, this is not a good thing for the Yuan family. It is enough to call it a serious loss of vitality.
As for Rome, although the losses of the barbarians were greater and the losses of the citizens were not small, with the huge size of Rome, it could still sustain such a small loss. This is why Huangfu Song was forced to retreat. Reason, because Niggle's endless scout battles are really disgusting.
Compared with the previous Albinus, Nigel is a truly famous general. Even if he is one rank behind Huangfu Song, he will definitely not be able to beat Huangfu Song head-on. However, after training in rounds, the new second par After the arrival of the Tia Legion and the Fourth Lucky One, Huangfu Song seemed to be dragged into the rhythm after the war methods changed again and again.
This is very helpless. It's not that Huangfu Song is not strong. On the contrary, Huangfu Song can hold off this group of people for a period of time even if he does not have the advantage in military strength. It is powerful enough, but he cannot hold off the continuous elite legions of Rome.
The Yuan family does not have extra legions for rotation. If there were not a legion like Super Heavy Steps who were on duty every day and could get back up and become stronger even after death, the Yuan family might have been dragged to death.
The Yuan family is very strong, but like all top kingdoms, the Yuan family cannot afford to lose when facing the empire. As long as they lose one game, they will be in danger of national subjugation.
As a result, Huangfu Song, who is currently on the battlefield in Eastern Europe, has already retreated more than seventy miles and is already close to the tributaries of the Volga River. As for retreating further, that is impossible. After all, the distance between the Don River and the Volga River is only one hundred miles. Many kilometers.
If it retreats further, the Volga River will be exposed. The Romans have the technology to build this canal, and Rome has little interest in Eastern Europe. It is just because it is far away from the mainland and cannot be controlled. But if this canal can be penetrated, then Rome will We can now take a boat from the Mediterranean to most places in Eastern Europe, so it is impossible to retreat any further.
Huangfu Song understands this, and so does Yuan Tan, so the former is looking for tactics that can break into the battle and gain room for maneuver, while the latter is working hard to accumulate national strength, stabilize his own situation as much as possible, and wait for the opportunity to come.
But both Huangfu Song and Yuan Tan are currently under great pressure. In addition, Cao Cao has recalled Xiahou Dun, and a new vacancy has appeared in Eastern Europe. Even if Yuan Tan was prepared early in the morning and quickly used Guo Yuan The Yuyang Tuqi led by him took Xiahou Dun's place.
But it is only a part of the change in the war situation. With the analysis of Xun Chen, Xu You and others, Yuan Tan also knows what the future situation will be like - the Han-Gui war has reached this level, Rome will definitely want this war to continue. , which was of huge benefit to the Roman Empire.
For every day the war lasted, Rome could squeeze one more day of gold coins from Kushan.
Under this premise, both Xu You and Xun Chen explained to Yuan Tan in detail the situation that the Yuan family would face next. The Roman Empire would continue to test pressure in Eastern Europe, allowing the Han Dynasty to allocate part of its power to Eastern Europe. , and the Yuan family has two choices. One is to receive a large amount of support from the Han Dynasty and follow Rome's intentions, and the other is to find a way to hold it back.
Yuan Tan chose the latter. When the Han Dynasty attacked Guishuang as a whole, the Yuan family did not help. Now if they want to borrow troops to maintain the situation in Eastern Europe, it is almost equivalent to following Rome's intentions and dragging the Han Dynasty. hind legs.
In this case, it is better to say nothing and do your best to fend off Rome. If you really can't defeat Rome, then retreat to the east of the Ural Mountains and admit that you are weak and unqualified to occupy Eastern Europe.
This is why Yuan Tan didn't have any extra words and just asked Yuan Shu to gather all the strength of his family, but he didn't speak to the Han Dynasty. This guy was ready to continue the stalemate with Rome relying only on his own strength.
In Yuan Tan's words, if the destiny is with the Yuan family, then the Yuan family will naturally survive the most difficult period. If the destiny is not with the Yuan family, even if reinforcements are borrowed, Eastern Europe is still not the Yuan family's territory. In this case , then do what you think is right - we, the Yuan family, do not have the energy to help the Han Dynasty attack Kushan, but at least we will not divert the Han Dynasty's energy.
As for Zhang Ren and his headquarters, this is actually an unexpected surprise for the Yuan family. However, Zhang Ren is still on the road and it will take quite a while to get here. Even if he marches quickly, he may not arrive until next year.
On the ice cap of the Arctic Ocean, Li Jue and a group of people were heading forward in a blizzard. The most dangerous period was when they encountered the Arctic storm. Li Jue and others met the Eskimos and learned ice skills from these people. House skills, able to avoid disaster.
After that, this group of people once again started their plan to march south. Relying on their steel bodies and amazing will, this group of people crossed the Arctic blizzard. As for the ten guards of the Kou family, they were too lazy to talk about it at this time. What's the matter? They also followed the Xiliang Iron Cavalry all the way across. Although they were in a particularly embarrassing situation, their mastery of talents was even better.
There is no way. In such a broken place, heating requires sonic concussion. When a snowstorm hits someone, sonic concussion is also required. When ice slag flies into the face, sonic concussion is also required. You need to use your own talents throughout the process. That's right, I learned it from the cavalry, so that's how reckless it is!
