Chapter 2540
As long as Your Majesty is willing, I will not lose!
...
Faced with this change, Fengnuo Yunduan also chose to remain silent, and finally accepted this choice, then looked around and shook his head heavily.
Then, in less than a quarter of an hour, the door of the Milan family mansion in Ctesiphon was completely closed.
Hundreds of fine horses, along with a group of people, galloped wildly through the city of Taixifeng, heading straight to the west.
Kirkuk, having made up its mind, thought from the perspective of Vologases V and the Parthian Empire, how to quickly capture the two rivers and two mountains, directly advance into the eastern provinces of Rome, and completely complete its debt settlement.
As long as the debt can be repaid successfully, the profits gained will be enough to allow the Milan family to continue for hundreds of years.
And compared to the past, if we really want to fight back this time, there is still hope.
Kirkuk, who was also knowledgeable about military affairs, was well aware of the power displayed by the Han Empire.
But the army of the Han Empire was an outsider after all, and he was a member of the Parthian Empire.
The choice made this time would certainly mean submission to Vologases V, but regardless of winning or losing, it would at least be much better than the current situation.
If they won and achieved the goal mentioned by Vologases V, then needless to say, they would have completely settled their debts and could naturally enjoy the huge wealth that had accumulated with peace of mind.
If they failed, they would at least participate and assist Vologases V. Even if they were counterattacked and demanded debts from the Roman Empire, they could use the power of the royal family to help resist.
If it really doesn't work, the royal family can negotiate and give up the territory they have accumulated and replace it with another piece of territory.
Even if the losses are heavy, it is better than facing the attack of the Roman Empire alone.
The invincible Rome is, after all, the sword of Damaya hanging over their heads!
Kirkuk, who had already prepared himself for failure, traveled quickly with simple equipment, covering a thousand miles a day, and returned to his family. After retaining some of the manpower needed by the family, he relied on the huge wealth he had gathered to gather and assemble the army again.
With the two elite legions already in hand, the Milan Guards and the Milan Raid Forces, he directly called on the backbone members of the family to expand the army and piece together four auxiliary legions.
Kirkuk, who had completed the assembly and deployment of the army, learned that the Parthian royal army that had already advanced westward had been divided into two groups. After a brief look, he made up his mind.
"Armenia and Judea?" Kirkuk thought for a long time, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "Let's go to Armenia!"
In terms of apparent strategic planning, planning is carried out under normal circumstances, whether from an individual perspective or a national perspective.
Judea was actually more important. By deploying troops to Judea, we could gain a greater advantage, repel the Roman legions more quickly, and capture the Mesopotamian region.
Then, taking advantage of the mountains, directly harassing and attacking the entire eastern province of the Roman Empire and getting rid of these creditors was the most important thing for Kirkuk.
However, knowing that Kirkuk has a greater chance of failure, it is natural to prioritize calculating the failure scenario first.
The first one to lead an army to appear in front of Vologases V, no matter what the reason behind it, Vologases V would naturally help them.
Fighting against the Roman Empire is not a bad thing anyway. So even though we knew that going to Armenia might not be very effective against Rome, we had to do it.
"I understand!" Fengnuo Yunduan, who had also calmed down after a day or two of running around, looked much more serious.
He had no fear of going to the battlefield. For the continuation and prosperity of his family, nothing was unsaved and nothing could be preserved.
As long as the family exists, no sacrifice can be too great to be unacceptable!
This huge wealth accumulated in a short period of time, even if a small part of it was squandered, would allow each man in this army of less than 30,000 people to have a horse. The elite Milanese guards and Milanese raiders could even have two horses each.
With a closer distance and more suitable position, the army led by Kirkuk arrived in Armenia even earlier than Vologases V.
However, Vologases V and his army were, after all, a combination of infantry and cavalry. The actual speed of the army, which was composed of the slowest infantry units, was still slowed down by the marching speed.
However, under Shapur's precise command, both the quality of the army and the marching speed seemed to have improved a lot.
Make obviously elite soldiers even more elite, at least that's what it looks like.
"Your Majesty, there are troops of the Milan family ahead!" After receiving the intelligence information about the front, Atratome quickly handed it to Vologases V.
"Milan family?" Vologases V smiled when he heard this unexpected information.
"Your Majesty, yes, and the Milan family soldiers who came here include the Milan guards and the Milan raiders." Atratome emphasized the configuration of the Milan family and the strength of the other party that came this time.
Upon hearing that the Milan family had sent out all their own troops, Vologases V was stunned for a moment, and then he could no longer grasp the Milan family's mentality.
"Atratome, if you were facing them, would you lose?" Vologases V looked at Atratome and asked directly.
"As long as Your Majesty is willing, I will never lose!" Atratome's eyes revealed absolute seriousness, and a vigorous fighting spirit was evident in his body.
"Hahaha, come on, accompany me to see what the Milan family is going to do!" Vologases V laughed loudly on the spot, with a hint of nonchalance in his words.
His generals all believed that they would not be defeated this time, and he naturally had to repay their trust accordingly.
"Assemble!" Attratome pointed with the spear in his hand, and some scattered cavalry began to move closer within a few breaths, forming a standard cavalry formation.
Shapur, who was commanding not far away, instantly understood Vologases V's thoughts.
"Yes, it's just a Milan family!" Shapur then stepped out and began to command the remaining troops to advance in an orderly manner to face these people who once needed him to look up to.
It can be said that the moment the armies of both sides appeared, an atmosphere unique to the battlefield began to spread in all directions.
It was not until the Milan family army separated, Kirkuk and Fengnuo Yunduan, as well as the masters of the Milan family, lined up in a row and left the army and slowly moved forward that the atmosphere became much more relaxed. (End of this chapter)
