"The national war is about to end, and all lords can return to their respective territories with their populations."

Chutian received a notification from the system that he could take the residents of eleven cities back to the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Chutian brought only 6,000 of the 10,000 main troops he brought. He also recruited a number of high-level units on the national war battlefield, including the Detachment of Women, Infantry Battalion, Xiliu Battalion, Cavalry Archers and other units to basically make up for the losses.

At the same time, Chutian also has about 30,000 servants, including about 12,000 special-type servants and 18,000 low-level soldiers.

"Except for the special arms, the other low-level arms are temporarily recruited soldiers. Back in the Eastern Han Dynasty, it would be difficult to maintain such a large army, so they will be turned into civilians and resettled."

Chutian decided to settle these people in various counties in Xuzhou.

"I didn't expect that we would not be able to fight the Roman legions in the end."

Chutian's only regret was this matter.

There is a price to pay for starting a war. In order to avoid unnecessary losses, both sides did not fight. If there was a big fight, generals on both sides might be killed, or more than half of the high-level troops would be killed.

These big lords all pay attention to stability. In order to deal with Zhang Dao, European lords need three people to join forces. Under the premise that the strength of both sides is about the same, both sides maintained restraint.

"There will be opportunities to fight the Roman legions in the future, and they will become powerful enemies."

Jiujiang Lao Qin also regretted not being able to fight the Roman legions.

"With the existence of the teleportation array, expeditions can be carried out. It is indeed possible to fight Rome in the future, provided that they can reconquer Europe. Europe may not be willing to see the rise of the Roman Empire. After all, this is not the era of Rome."

"We in the Eastern Han Dynasty also need to unify as soon as possible. Don't let the Three Kingdoms stand at odds with each other by then. Once the Three Kingdoms stand at odds with each other for decades, Europe might come over."

"Who knows what will happen in the future."

Chu Tian talked with Jiujiang Lao Qin. Both the East and the West are trying to speed up the unification. Europe does not have a tradition of great unification, but in the face of the threat from the East, Europe will probably be committed to the cause of great unification. After all, the larger the territory, the greater the unification.

The larger the population, the safer your civilization will be.

"Can you control Lu Bu? Join forces with Dong Zhuo. You don't want to take over Dong Zhuo's power after Dong Zhuo's death, do you?"

It is rare for Chu Tian to meet with Jiujiang Lao Qin.

After returning to the main world, the two sides will become potential competitors again.

If Jiujiang Lao Qin successfully takes over Dong Zhuo's army, he will undoubtedly become a strong enemy, Guanzhong is no less than Xuzhou.

"When I return to Guanzhong, I will try to get Dong Zhuo to make me the Sili Colonel."

Chu Tian, ​​Zhao Long, and Hu Ma were secretly shocked. Sili Xiaowei is a secret supervisor who supervises the capital and the surrounding areas. He is similar to the governor and has greater power. He is in charge of the seven counties of the capital.

If Dong Zhuo really moved Jiujiang and Lao Qin to serve as Sili Xiaowei, then the Eastern Han Dynasty would officially enter the stage of separatist rule, with the state pastor, prefect, governor, and Sili Xiaowei coexisting.

Jiujiang Lao Qin did not hide his ambitions at all. Even Chu Tian, ​​who was far away in Xuzhou, saw what Jiujiang Lao Qin was thinking.

"Get ready to return to the Eastern Han Dynasty."

Jiujiang Lao Qin, Zhao Long, and Hu Ma returned to their respective camps.

“I don’t know what’s going on over there in Xuzhou.”

Chutian was unable to know the situation in Xuzhou and was somewhat worried about Xuzhou. If Xia Liang could not suppress the aristocratic families in Xuzhou, there would be some hidden dangers.

Hua Mulan stood next to Chu Tian. It was rare to see Chu Tian show a concerned expression. Hua Mulan was a little envious of Xia Liang. She did not have such a chance because Chu Tian would take her with him every time he went on a campaign.

"That's the powerful Roman legion that my lord mentioned. Even my lord is very wary of the Roman legion. I heard that their heavy infantry phalanx is indestructible."

Xue Rengui and Zhao Yun led a group of high-level cavalry to patrol outside. They saw the Roman eagle flag and were eager to try.

"We can attack their scouts or grain trucks."

"good!"

Although Chutian strictly ordered the generals not to engage in battle with the Roman legions in order to prevent them from falling into a meaningless meat-and-blood battle, small-scale conflicts between the two sides continued.

Before the end of the national war, Xue Rengui and Zhao Yun wanted to join forces to do a big thing and meet Rome, whom their lord regarded as a great enemy.

They led a thousand white horse cavalry through quickly and penetrated deep into the rear of the Roman legions.

The white horse cavalry is very fast and can retreat calmly even if it is surrounded behind the enemy.

The Roman legion is counting the population of each city and plans to move the population of the seven cities back to Rome. Compared with the population of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the current Roman Republic is not yet an empire. The population is insufficient. It is equivalent to a state of the Eastern Han Dynasty. The seven cities are nearly

A population of one million was a huge asset to the Roman Republic.

In addition to ranking rewards, the population and gold and silver of the national war battlefield are also part of the loot.

"Population is a more important reward for us in Rome than points. If there is a sufficient population, the Roman Republic can annex other surrounding civilizations and become a large empire. However, they are not eligible to become Roman citizens and can only become slaves."

The Roman lord stood on the city wall and looked at the Eastern Han camp opposite.

One state in the Eastern Han Empire was equivalent to the size of a European civilization. He had to find a way to become the consul of Rome before he could start Rome's struggle for hegemony to unify the Mediterranean.

"A group of white horse cavalry left the opponent's camp and broke through our defense line. They numbered about a thousand people!"

The Roman lord received a report from a Roman general and looked surprised. He did not expect that the national war was about to end and the cavalry of the Eastern Han Dynasty would still dare to take risky actions.

Before annexing the nomadic civilization, the Roman legion lacked qualified cavalry and relied on heavy infantry as its main force. Facing the cavalry actions of the Eastern Han Dynasty, he could only send out the few light cavalry of the Roman legion.

On the plain, a Roman army gathered in the city where the lord was located after performing the task of counting the population and loot.

This Roman army had only three groups, about 1,500 men, including 100 cavalry. In addition to the Roman troops, there were more than a thousand civilians and escorted trophies.

The Roman general Scipio the Younger wore a Roman-style helmet and rode a horse to escort the spoils.

The Roman legion did not fight a decent enemy in this national war, and even eliminated a lord of Guiyang County in the Eastern Han Dynasty.

*Scipio the Younger, Roman commander. The adopted son of the son of Scipio the Great, destroyed Rome’s enemy Carthage, conquered Spain, and served as Roman consul.

"Why are the lords afraid of the Eastern Han Dynasty? As long as we draw the opponent out to fight in the wild, our Roman legions can completely defeat and destroy the Eastern Han Dynasty legions."

Scipio the Younger and Scipio the Great, two famous Roman commanders, were both in the Roman legion. They were confident that they could defeat the Eastern Han Dynasty legion. However, their lords refused their request to fight because Joan of Arc of France was captured.

He was unwilling to take risks. If he fought against the Eastern Han army, there was a chance that two famous generals, Scipio and Scipio, would be captured.

"General, cavalry! There is a cavalry approaching quickly!"

The light cavalry conducting reconnaissance in front suddenly issued a warning.

"Array up!"

Scipio the Younger immediately formed his troops and the three Roman cohorts quickly formed their formation.

A thousand white horse cavalry have roared in, following the Roman scout cavalry!

Two of the experienced Roman brigades formed their formations immediately, while the third Roman brigades seemed a little panicked when faced with the light cavalry from the east because they had new recruits joining them.

Xue Rengui and Zhao Yun teamed up to go deep into the enemy territory and quickly attack the third Roman brigade!

A round of arrows came, and dozens of Roman soldiers were killed by arrows. Both the white horse Yi Cong and the Tang cavalry were extremely good at mounted archery.

Roman soldiers rarely fought against Eastern cavalry, and they suffered heavy losses immediately.

Xue Rengui holds Fang Tian's painted halberd, and Zhao Yun holds the red tassel spear. They break into the chaotic Roman Third Brigade and are invincible!

When the Roman soldier saw the horse's hooves raised high, Xue Rengui's Fangtian painted halberd hit his head, smashing the Roman soldier's helmet and head into pieces!

The recruits of the Roman Third Battalion were attacked by white horse cavalry and suffered heavy casualties. When the first round of charge by the white horse cavalry ended, less than 200 of the 500 men of the Third Battalion remained.

"The cavalry of the East is so brave!"

Scipio was shocked when he saw that a large group of infantry suffered 300 casualties.

Although the Third Brigade was recruited on the battlefield of the National War, with the bonus of his commander, it was caught off guard by Xue Rengui and Zhao Yun.

After Xue Rengui and Zhao Yun launched the first charge, they gathered the white horse cavalry and only a few of them were killed.

They attempted to attack the remaining Roman army of less than 1,200 men.

"The Roman legions are nothing more than that!"

"Let's work together to destroy this Roman army and achieve military success!"

"good!"

Xue Rengui and Zhao Yun's confidence greatly increased after they destroyed a Roman brigade.

A thousand white horse cavalry, led by Xue Rengui and Zhao Yun, charged against the other two Roman brigades.

As long as the formation of the Roman army loosens, they will completely annihilate the Roman legion.

"Follow orders!"

The famous Roman general Scipio the Younger retracted his contempt for the Eastern Han Dynasty army. Faced with the impact of the white horse cavalry, if they were not dealt with carefully, their entire army might be annihilated.

The two Roman cohorts were attentive, with the soldiers in the front holding javelins and shields, and the Roman archers in the rear.

Xue Rengui and Zhao Yun led the light cavalry. After reaching a distance of forty or fifty meters, the light cavalry turned around and fired arrows on horseback.

The Roman army gathered its formation. The first row of infantry squatted with their shields on the ground. The second row of infantry placed their shields on top of the shields of the front row. The third row and subsequent infantry raised their shields above their heads, stacking them like tiles!

The arrow rain fell, many of which were blocked by shields. The losses of the Roman legions were less than Xue Rengui and Zhao Yun imagined.

"Fire the arrow!"

The Roman infantry archers fired arrows, causing casualties to the white horse cavalry.

Xue Rengui and Zhao Yun only used mounted archery as a test, and had not yet made the impulse to directly use light cavalry to attack the Roman legion, which was mainly heavy infantry.

The advantage of the light cavalry is that it can constantly interfere with the infantry phalanx. Once the infantry phalanx is in chaos, the light cavalry can go on a killing spree.
