After Vincenzo and Gao Shun retired, the intensity of the fighting between the Han Dynasty and Rome dropped rapidly. The commander of the top legion was not a fool. The death-defying killings before were largely due to your failure to kill the opponent.
The Ten Knights and the Traps decide the outcome. They are easily affected, and of course they have to risk their lives in order to control their destiny in their own hands.
But now that the Tenth Knight and the Traitor have withdrawn, Rome's top legions have once again taken control of their own destiny, so the motivation to fight to the death with the Han Dynasty is not as sufficient as before.
Of course, except for Valery, who is still fighting to the death, the 11th Legion who was forced to fight, the 9th Spanish Legion and the Tun Cavalry led by Xiahou Dun, who have entered a state of madness, even Zhang He has calmed down now.
Marche hit Gao Lan's big shield with a hammer blow, and then he was pushed away by Gao Lan as if he was out of strength. Then a hole was torn open in the battle line that he had gritted his teeth to hold on to, and his super-heavy step quickly broke through Marche's battle line.
And Gao Lan also tacitly led the super-heavy steps towards the barbarian army on the opposite side to attack and kill them.
"Valery, you really think you can kill me by jumping up and down like this?" Luciano scolded angrily, wouldn't you open your eyes to see what the situation is now?
What is the real goal of the fight between Rome and the Yuan family? Is it to save face? Is it to beat the Yuan family to rest for what happened? There may be this reason, but what is the most fundamental reason? These top army commanders
, these guys who have a big-picture view know it all!
Strengthening the dominance of Roman citizens means strengthening the combat effectiveness of these main eagle flags, and then reducing the threat of barbarians to the Roman civil system, which means reducing the number of elite barbarians. This is the fundamental reason. The face of Rome is indeed very important.
But profit is the core!
"I will never be willing to kill you!" Valery said with a ferocious expression. Too many Slavs have died at the hands of the Eleventh Legion. Counting from a long time ago, there are tens of thousands of people now.
These are all young and strong.
"Okay!" Luciano glanced at Valery with a mocking expression, and directly stepped away from the opponent's attack, parrying it with a defensive posture, instead of continuing to expand the impact of the war.
At the same time, Huangfu Song also naturally divided his legion to attack opponents who were easy to kill, and Nigel also tacitly adjusted the layout of the army. While returning the elite and reducing the losses of the core legion, he also reduced the European barbarian army as quickly as possible.
.
"Look, this is the meaning of a fight to the death." Huangfu Song turned sideways and said to Chen Jie who was observing here, "Nigel is an impatient person, we all know that he is like this, but no matter how impatient he is, he can
When he becomes the commander of a large army, he will have a good view of the overall situation, but now our strength is enough to make them afraid, and we can't be said to be on the side of the bed!"
"I'm a little worried." Chen Jie hesitated and said.
"It is inevitable that there will inevitably be hidden dangers in promoting peace through struggle. Whenever we both really seize the opportunity, we will not mind giving the other party a hard blow, but equally as long as there is no way to overthrow the other party, we will
I'm willing to sit at the negotiation table." Huangfu Song said extremely calmly, "Nigel is okay, even I can win at most, but can't kill him."
"We insult each other and fight at the negotiation table, but we are trading with each other under the negotiation table, right?" Shen Pei suddenly appeared next to Huangfu Song and said, but for some reason Huangfu Song always felt that this moment of Shen Pei was a bit illusory.
"Yes, but why did you come here? What's the situation over there?" Huangfu Song said a little strangely, but he didn't ask the judge what the situation was.
"We won the battle, but we couldn't get rid of all the supplies." Shen Pei said with an ugly expression. Pabinian was too well prepared and cautious. He would rather waste some opportunities than fight with Shen Pei.
As for the trial match, the only option is to attack by force in the end.
"Have you killed half of them?" Huangfu Song asked.
"Probably." The judge thought of those blazing warships, his expression cold.
"That's pretty much it. I'm doing fine here too. Although Nigel was irritable, he was just as Xunchen expected. After finding out that we were not easy to chew, he decisively put down his face." Huangfu Song said with a hint of anger.
Said with admiration.
"That guy..." The judge pondered for a moment, but finally did not express his evaluation. Xun Chen's strategy has always been very stable, with almost no mistakes.
What Huangfusong was most worried about before was that he had a big fight with Nigel, and in the end the situation was completely out of control. After all, Nigel was not Albinus, and there was no Third Cyrenaica Legion among the legions this time.
The kind of legion that gives away people's heads.
Therefore, once Huangfusong exerts too much force, and Nigel only needs to perform normally, the losses of both parties will continue to accumulate, and the final result will inevitably be out of control, because if pushed hard, Nigel may even do things like turning the table over. Who will do it at that time?
Regardless of strategy or not.
Not long ago, Xun Chen gave Huangfu Song a suggestion, that is, attack head-on, don't grind, the Yuan family will put all their cards on the table, wait for Rome to come, and directly attack with all their strength, give Rome a head-on attack, and defeat Rome in a very short time
Pour a basin of cold water.
Even if Nigel had a bad temper, he was hit hard at the beginning, and if the Yuan family really showed the strength to fight Nigel's army to the death, then the irritable Nigel would calm down.
To think whether it's worth it, this guy is still a Duke after all.
Those in power will inevitably need to weigh the pros and cons, and the core of politics is simply the trade-off of interests. The so-called adults want everything, which is essentially unrealistic.
As the Duke of Rome, even if Nigel was easily defeated in the military, he was poured cold water on him. He felt that the Han army was inferior, but still capable of fighting, so he would stop and think about our goal.
what exactly is it?
Is it to save face? No, our goal is the stability and continuation of the empire.
Just like when Emperor Wu asked for Dayuan horses, was he really just fighting for face? In fact, no, asking for Dayuan horses was more to improve the Han Dynasty's horse breeds, so that he could kill the Xiongnu and let the Han Dynasty's country
Zuo lasts longer.
Similarly for Dawan, it witnessed the fight between the Han Dynasty and the Xiongnu, witnessed the bloody battle between the Han and Huns, and witnessed the Xiongnu who could hold down the thirty-six kingdoms of the Western Regions with only one hand and was suppressed by the Han Dynasty.
Considering the situation of the fight, do they really think they can defeat the Han Dynasty?
Let’s put it this way, those who think so are out of their minds, but the question is, can we just give in without fighting? It’s really not possible, because if we just give in, we won’t be sending the best horses in the country over later, and then changing the king.
Just sign a contract and that's it.
If you give in directly, there is a high probability that troops will be stationed at your home, and then your home will be gone.
Rome is in the same situation now. The Yuan family is easy to deal with, so there is nothing to say. Just press on and fight, push forward, and keep advancing while killing the barbarians. In the end, it will be reduced day by day. Every time the Yuan family gets weaker, Rome
The stronger you are, the more likely you are to die in the end.
The so-called covenant will be torn up sooner or later. There are no eternal friends between countries, only eternal interests. If you don't want this to happen, you must have enough power to be recognized by Rome, and this power cannot be too strong.
Is the power shown by the Yuan family now too strong? For Rome, it means that they can sit down and think about whether it is worth it, whether it is worth it or not. If you really want to say it is a slap in the face, who will be most embarrassed in whose family the war takes place?
.
Of course, if a war between the two countries could occur in a third party, the third party would probably lose its lives.
As for the current situation in Rome, foreign wars even in the Han and Tang Dynasties were back and forth. To put it too much, why did Chen Xi send Huangfu Song here? To put it bluntly, isn't it because the Yuan family can't lose one game now? Lose one game,
All of Eastern Europe is gone.
Just like the previous game in Albinus, Rome would lose ten times at most and it would only hurt its muscles and bones. But if the Yuan family loses two top elites, loses a legion commander and a large legion commander, well, the Yuan family behind him
No, let's forget about the death of one of the main advisers. If he dies in this way, the Yuan family will not be able to continue fighting.
If you lose a game, there is basically no hope of making a comeback. How can you fight if you don't have a way to control the situation?
Huangfu Song also knew this and was particularly hesitant, because Huangfu Song was not a god and could not guarantee victory in every battle. Losing was a normal situation for people like Huangfu Song, so Huangfu Song also had to calculate the use of the Yuan family.
These cards.
Although Huangfu Song is very aggressive, Huangfu Song is also very cowardly. Just like Nigel is really risking his life now. Huangfu Song uses the Six Mirror Flower to turn the cloud armor. He can win this battle, but after the Eastern Europe, will there be any more?
The ability to fight again is a problem.
When the Roman army comes again, it will be almost like accepting it, and the Yuan family may not even have the strength to resist. This is the biggest difference between the Yuan family and An'an. If An'an loses, even if they are about to be destroyed, they will not have a hundred thousand elites.
, as long as it can survive, it can be replenished quickly, but the Yuan family does not have this ability to form blood.
But the current situation is very good. When Nigel tacitly began to stagger the elite legions of both sides and try to bring back the Ninth Spain, Huangfu Song knew that Xun Chen was right in his bet, and the old Yuan family had already passed.
The most dangerous period.
Likewise for Huangfu Song, when the upper echelons of the Yuan family and the Romans came to Eastern Europe, they could start fighting life and death on stage and exchanging interests off stage.
"The most dangerous period has passed." Shen Pei reached out to catch the snowflakes and smiled. Huangfusong blinked involuntarily. Just as he was in a trance, Shen Pei was inexplicably translucent. When he looked carefully,
But found out it was just an illusion.
"Well, you are victorious." Huangfu Song mobilized his soldiers to form a defense and reduce the losses of the regular army while killing as many Roman barbarians as possible.
