The More You Don’t Follow the Rules
Chapter 2589 The more you don't follow the rules...
...
The orders issued after the decision was made spread quickly.
The Han Empire army, which had an independent military camp not far away, naturally also received relevant information, which was delivered personally by Parthian officials.
"How cruel!" After Xu Shu took a look at the content of the intelligence and what the other party was going to do, he directly collected the intelligence and handed it to the others present.
Xi Zhong took the information, took a look at it, smiled at Xu Shu, and then passed it to others.
Although Xu Yuanzhi is excellent in military affairs, he still has a long way to go in terms of character.
It looks like a long article, but it can be summed up in four words: burning, killing and looting!
Ten years ago, the Qiang people in the Liangzhou area and the Hu people in the north could not do this.
Even people like Dong Zhuo perfectly embody what it means to burn, kill and loot.
Killing innocent people to pretend to be meritorious, burning down the imperial capital, digging up the emperor's tomb, and forcibly relocating the people...
Compared with the above things, what Parthia did was nothing?
The Roman Empire and the Parthian Empire had fought for hundreds of years, and their hatred for each other was just like their hatred for the Huns.
When facing the Huns, let alone burning, killing and looting, even destroying their ancestral graves was not a big deal.
Despicable and shameless?
It's just the complaint of losers. Only the living can stand on the other's grave and write the life of the other's nation!
This is a war between empires, a war between races, and a war between cultures. Cruelty is the norm in this reality!
Simply putting himself in his shoes, Xi Zhong didn't think there was anything wrong with Parthia at all.
As for abiding by unspoken rules, it can be said that it is completely unnecessary. In this situation where it is obvious that only one of the two empires can survive, why should we abide by so many rules?
Rules are just constraints. Only by not following the rules can you gain more benefits and become stronger at a faster rate!
Sima Yi, who had also watched the show, did not think there was anything wrong with this behavior. Instead, he was somewhat happy to see it happen.
The greater the hatred between the Parthian Empire and the Roman Empire, the higher the chances of his plan succeeding.
However, by doing this, Parthia is likely to take advantage of the situation to achieve unification. It would be bad if the Roman Empire could not defeat Parthia.
When Sima Yi thought of this, another idea emerged in his mind, but he immediately suppressed it.
Although he didn't know why Liu Tong reminded him like that, he also knew that Liu Tong was not a talkative person, especially when facing someone like him.
Since the other party has already reminded you, you still have to comply.
Whether you are looking at the other person's ability or identity, you should still show due respect.
"But if we do this, the next mission of the Parthian army may not be to capture the city of Antioch." Based on this notice, Sima Yi also deduced Parthia's subsequent change of direction.
"Not attacking Antioch anymore? Then what are they going to do?" Duan Yun, who had already made preparations for the siege and was just waiting for the right time to break through the city of Antioch, asked directly with a frown.
Although siege is quite difficult, it is very effective in training personnel and strengthening their will.
The Flying Bear Army he led also had unimaginable advantages in siege. The heavy cavalry went directly to the city wall, which was absolutely a naked massacre for the sword and shield soldiers and archers stationed on the wall.
This kind of siege war is perfect for the Feixiong Army because it has a good training effect, it can hone their minds to a high degree, and it is unlikely to cause many casualties.
"This is not something we can decide. We are just a guest army and have the right to act independently, make decisions independently and observe independently. We cannot command the other side's subsequent war plans..." Sima Yi also pointed out the actual situation, explained the essence of the matter, and dispelled the idea of many people preparing to train troops.
Siege warfare is often brutal, and the shock it brings is incomparable to that of ordinary wars.
Even if you are just watching from the sidelines and not participating in the actual siege battle, it is a rare kind of training.
"So the next war is to delay the enemy's time?" Lu Meng took a deep breath and said thoughtfully. "Does this mean that Parthia still has no chance of victory under the current situation?"
Although considering defeat before the battle is indeed a prudent behavior and idea, what Padilla is doing now is just an action, and he is not pursuing victory at all.
"From what they said, it seems like this. The Roman Empire is as strong as ever, and it's not just these people we met..." Li Yan also said that this is a characteristic of this place.
When Sun Quan heard this, his face turned pale and he became a little uncalm, but despite his angry face, he did not blame anyone because the incident had not happened yet.
However, even if the incident did not happen, Sun Quan's face was gradually filled with worry.
After all, among the entire Han Empire's military camp, the number of cavalry is not small at all, on the contrary, the number of infantry units can be said to be very few.
If we really had to face the Romans and were forced to accept defeat because we couldn't defeat them, then whoever ran faster would survive.
With so many soldiers and legion talents, the speed of the infantry is simply not as fast as that of the horses.
That is to say, as long as they fail in the war they are facing, they will, to a large extent, lose the ability to continue fighting and evacuate.
However, the current deployment of the army made Sun Quan cautious and alert, and he prepared for the worst.
There are only a few infantry and cavalry in total. If something unexpected happens, most of the infantry will be the first to fall.
However, neither the elite soldiers of Danyang nor the transportation archers could give Sun Quan a fragile sense of security.
Rather than being in danger on the battlefield at any time and anywhere, Sun Quan really hopes that most of the time it has nothing to do with him, and he also hopes that these generals can be more reliable.
"That's good. Since the other party has a plan, we can just provide some assistance..." Xi Zhong, who had gathered back, directly analyzed the current situation in Syria and explained their subsequent operations.
Since we are going to encircle a point and attack its reinforcements, intelligence is indispensable. Only by knowing the intelligence in advance and making arrangements based on this intelligence can we more easily achieve the desired results.
The effect of the first-hand ambush has been very good so far, except when facing Zhao Yun...
