Chapter 2551: The weight that overturned the balance
The harshness of its policies made those natural-born Roman citizens clearly realize how noble their status was. Once again, it greatly harvested a wave of people's hearts and made the Roman citizens who already loved this country deeply.
Realize how much glory I enjoy.
The European barbarians looked at the harsh conditions for Roman citizenship, which were so harsh that it made people's hearts hurt, and the indifferent conditions of the Romans, and they decisively sharpened their heads and dug in.
It’s not just about killing ten enemies on the battlefield, plus preparing a suit of armored weapons. Of course, there are no armored weapons. Please prepare enough iron ore to cast three sets of armored weapons. Although the requirements are a bit abnormal, at least there are no conditions compared to the previous three hundred years.
, the situation is much better if you don’t know what to look for other than your face if you want to become a Roman citizen. At least there are still many people who can fulfill this requirement.
As for what to do with what can't be done, let's just say it. What can be done is done. If you can't do it, then you can continue to be barbarians. Those who have done it are noble Romans, blessed by the heritage of Roman civilization, and enjoy the rights of Roman citizens.
Welfare, the position of Roman Emperor will also be open to you. You said the latter is very slim?
Pertinax, do you know, don't you know? Well, he is the son of a slave. He was lucky enough to become a citizen.
Because of his citizenship, his military merits were not discounted in the slightest, and he was successfully transferred to Britain to join the Sixth Triumphal Legion in the war against the Celts.
After the victory of the war, he was transferred to the rear because of his meritorious service. The next year he was promoted to the commander of the Rhine River Defense Line. In the following year, because of his outstanding performance, he was promoted to a senator in the Senate. About five years later, he successfully resisted the Germans' southward march and conquered the enemy.
The expulsion achieved considerable results.
This level can be said to be very terrifying. After all, going from the son of a slave to entering the Senate and becoming a powerful senator is already a very powerful thing. However, next, this man succeeded in ascending to the throne through a series of accidents such as luck and face.
.
Although he was killed not long after, his journey clearly told every Roman citizen that as long as you are a citizen and as long as you have military merit, you can become a noble, a senator, and an emperor. Of course, these things are only for Roman citizens.
Citizen development, slaves, barbarians, go to sleep.
Therefore, after Pompianus issued the regulations for the Roman citizenship of European barbarians, no matter how harsh they were, the European barbarians became excited!
After all, being a barbarian in Rome in this era has really no way out. After a lifetime of hard work, he became a commander of the barbarian auxiliary army and became a Roman citizen. Like some very capable guys, relying on military merit
You can even enter the Senate!
Relying on this, a large number of European barbarians brought their own dry food and weapons and ran from Europe to the Roman-Parthian battlefield to be cannon fodder. God knows if there will be such an opportunity after this time. Rome clearly stated the requirements for becoming a citizen. This is the first time.
once.
Therefore, Rome now has a steady stream of soldiers. Unlike the barbarians in the Han Dynasty who had their spines broken, these barbarians in Europe can basically make it to the second rank.
Of course, the Slavs are equivalent to the ceiling of the second sequence. The other European barbarians can be divided into the second sequence backbone and the second sequence floor tiles depending on the situation. But no matter what, they are still the second sequence. If they are cleaned up, their combat effectiveness is still quite good.
.
What's more, Pompianus is simply not well-intentioned and has never thought about allowing European barbarians to come to Anxi to kill people. Having said that, no matter how bad Anxi is, he is still the backbone of the first sequence. Although the first sequence only has
Two Zenith stars, two backbones, but they are still backbones anyway!
According to Pompianus's estimation, if most European barbarians do not cooperate properly, they will most likely not be able to defeat a Parthian army of the same size. If they want to compete with the current Parthian army, they will need at least the level of the Germans.
The barbarian.
As for Severus, he is generous and holds the idea of training several top-notch troops to supplement the country's Eagle Legion during the Parthian War of Destruction. It is somewhat unbearable to kill his own Eagle Legion, but to die against European barbarians, Severus
Lu doesn't feel any pressure at all.
Naturally, under the control of this kind of mentality and thinking, the Roman-Parthian War, which was supposed to be a steady and step-by-step battle, became much more tragic.
Although many people, including Pompianus, knew that there was no need for this battle to be so tragic. There was a lot of grass in the wall of Parthia, and there were many people who wanted to fall to Rome. Make a promise first, and after defeating Parthia,
If they fall out, they will definitely win easily.
However, in fact, all the upper echelons of Rome who knew the real reason kept it secret. Severus's strategy of strengthening the army and Pompianus's strategy of reducing the size of the army were almost all national policy-level things, especially the latter, which had enough influence.
This country has been around for many years.
Precisely because of so many political reasons, the intensity of the war between Rome and Parthia almost rose in a straight line with the influx of barbarians in Europe.
Of course, the will of the soldiers on both sides also became more tenacious as the intensity of the war increased. The barbarians of Rome were also rapidly consumed in this tragic war!
So much so that Pompianus even made crocodile tears, telling European barbarians not to come to Rome and the Parthian battlefield without sufficient strength and knowledge of the war, and even set up an anti-smuggling front on the border for this purpose.
.
Needless to say, the result was that the European barbarians wanted to squeeze in with their heads sharpened at this time. How could they listen to Pompianus's stop when they were already on top? In addition, Pompianus also particularly likes to promote certain things.
The barbarian successfully joined Rome and became a citizen.
One model after another was established. How could the European barbarians at the top care about Pompianus's dissuasion? This group of people now basically believed that they would inevitably become the next model. The status of Roman citizens beckoned to them, but in fact
Well……
Naturally, the Parthian Empire is now in full swing - Rome. The Roman battlefield is simply in full swing, but Rome has not yet shown its trump card. In fact, the Parthian Empire has exceeded the estimated limit of the previous day every day. This country is really in the hands of Vologis V.
It is constantly sublimating.
This is also an important reason why Vologis V may inexplicably make a comeback after struggling to support itself until now.
Any strong army is built by fighting, and the will is also strangled on the flesh-and-blood battlefield. The war that lasted from last year to the present has forged the will of the Parthians of Ctesiphon into steel. In addition, the Parthian nobles began to spontaneously provide assistance.
Ctesiphon even gave Vologis V a chance to win in a situation where he was bound to lose!
The Romans were very strong, but the Romans were not strong enough to break the backbone of the Parthians. The war between the two sides continued with the support of their respective wills. In the process, the Parthian Empire was defeated by Vorogis V.
Under the leadership of , we constantly push boundaries.
A few years ago, the miscellaneous soldiers led by Ganassis were able to besiege Ctesiphon. But now, with three boundary-breaking masters and tens of thousands of elites, Ctesiphon is still under the control of Volodya to this day.
In the hands of Si V.
This country is burning, but it does not mean to turn into dust. Instead, it means to be reborn in the flames.
However, just when Vologes V was holding a sword on the tower of Ctesiphon and dispatching the Parthian army to defend Ctesiphon, waiting for the arrival of reinforcements from all directions, the biggest joy in the Parthian-Roman war, or in other words, the crushing
The weights of the scales appeared.
"Report to the general, a large group of Roman cavalry was found about twenty miles ahead, suspected to be the Roman Ninth Spanish Legion and its reserve legion." The rest of the Scimitar Rangers scouted the cavalry to Jupa, the young commander of the Esvandeyar family.
Er saluted.
"The Ninth Spanish Legion." Yupal frowned when he heard this, his face was a little heavy. The Roman legion was centered on heavy infantry and there were very few cavalry. However, the Ninth Spanish Legion was an exception. It was a mixed legion of infantry and cavalry.
, and the cavalry is very strong.
"How about we try to take a detour." The staff officer said to Yupal with some hesitation. They led a reorganized heavy infantry regiment, as well as about 7,000 archer auxiliaries, and more than 2,000 auxiliary troops.
The Rangers, I really don't have to be afraid of them, but it's not worth fighting now.
"The opponent is a cavalry. Even the slowest cavalry is much faster than ours." Yupal said calmly, "Move the immortal guards to the periphery, gather the archers to the center of the formation, and swim around
The cavalry should not give the opponent a chance to sneak attack while flanking."
On the other side, Li Jue was eating dry food with his Xiliang cavalry, which had been tempered to some extent. The Qiang scouts ran back and reported to Li Juehui, who was eating dry food, "General, our army is about twenty miles ahead.
Found the Roman heavy infantry legion, equipped with two thousand rangers, and about seven thousand archers."
"Why are these Romans so everywhere!" Hearing this, Li Jue gnawed two mouthfuls of dry food fiercely, and then put it away. The recent killings have made Li Jue a little violent. Rest in peace - the Roman battlefield is too chaotic now, you
You never know when a wave of enemies will suddenly appear, but this place is really good for training troops.
"Continue the investigation." Li Jue glanced at the soldiers behind him, turned around and said calmly.
This was the same old group of veterans who knew nothing but killing. Li Jue went up to kill them with a knife without saying a word. However, although these people are now trained, they are still a little far from their peak. Even with Li Jue's three-man cover,
, the losses suffered by the Roman regular army were also quite high.
After all, Li Jue came here to train his troops, not to kill the enemy. Although killing the enemy was also a training process, there was no need to fight against the army that looked so powerful and troublesome to fight.
