God Three Group Chat: Three Kingdoms

...

Ganassis naturally knew that he could not defeat Ctesiphon with his own troops, but it would be very comfortable to be able to slap the opponent in the face and advance the strategic planning process.

Let the emperor of the other side completely lose his prestige and dominance in the hearts of the other side's people, and let the Parthian Empire continue to maintain a situation in which many great nobles are strong and the royal family is weak.

So, the Parthian Empire was just a combination of multiple kingdoms. There was a reason why the empire was called an empire.

Of course, an important reason for doing this was also because the people who sacrificed were not Roman citizens, but barbarians who were endlessly killing and dying.

Creatures like this, as long as the recruitment target is disclosed, can join the army with their own weapons, and the military expenses are relatively cheap. Naturally, Ganassis is equivalent to holding cannon fodder troops and consuming them unscrupulously.

Under normal circumstances, they would not count the battle losses of the Barbarian troops.

You only need to use a few Roman citizens after each victory in the war to reward those barbarians who fought bravely. The low cost and high harvest can't be better.

What's more, out of sensitivity to the country, Ganassis also sincerely feels that it is not good to have too many barbarians. He needs to consume part of the strength of the barbarians from time to time in order to provide better stability to the area he rules. .

Ganassis, who was not aware of this institutional issue, on the one hand implemented relevant strategic plans and on the other hand was to ensure the stability of the region he was in. He did not think deeply about the institutional issues between citizens and non-citizens.

But by this act, Ganassis did the right thing and allowed the life of the Roman Empire to continue.

Therefore, even if it was a brutal siege, Ganassis directly carried out the battle without caring about the life or death of his barbarians.

The barbarian didn't think there was any problem with this kind of behavior. After all, how could a siege be called a siege without attacking the city?

Isn't it normal for heavy casualties to occur during a siege?
Especially since the opponent is Ctesiphon, the winter capital of the Parthian Empire, it is normal that it will be difficult to defeat, but if it is really defeated, the benefits will naturally go without saying.

Great Roman citizens are waiting for them. As long as they can climb the city wall, they can become Roman citizens, complete the transformation of class, nationality, and life, and reach the pinnacle of life.

The beliefs of these Roman barbarians, in a sense, made the Roman citizens' own legions inherently possess this kind of pride.

The respect of other people is real respect, a respect that everyone can feel. This phenomenon that is highlighted in normal life can make a nation's self-confidence unprecedentedly expanded.

For more than a month, there had been almost no lull in the offensive and defensive battles. The number of people killed in the battle by Ganassis's army, especially the barbarian army, exceeded 10,000.

However, hundreds of Roman citizens' reward quotas were issued. However, due to the changes in the legion, they were not implemented in the first time. As a result, the vast majority of Roman citizens who were promoted on the battlefield were unable to survive.

However, when you die, you can still enjoy the relevant death treatment and death rituals as a Roman citizen with pride.

"Can this guy Volojis V still hold on? It's been so long that he hasn't sent an envoy to discuss with me and pay us money so that we can go back victorious." Ganassis looked at the distant city wall with a look on his face. A little more disdain.

If you cannot unite the domestic army, you will never be qualified to fight against him. The country of Parthia will always be his back garden, and you can come and leave whenever you want. It is also a good choice to come to Parthia from time to time to plunder some wealth and make up for the losses in your own territory.

The reason is that the silk sold by the Parthian Empire is too expensive. It is impossible not to buy it. Who makes him a Roman noble?

The grievances between the two countries are not so much the grievances between races as they are the grievances between silks.

The silk was sold at too high a price and too much profit was plundered, so it was natural to beat them up to make up for the economic losses.

The Parthian Empire, which had suffered too much economic loss, would naturally raise the price of silk even higher and continue to draw blood from the Roman Empire to make up for its own losses.

The increase in the price of silk naturally increased the Roman Empire's desire to continue beating the Roman Empire. This repeated cycle can be regarded as promoting the circular transportation and trade of the economy.

It's just that this process seems a bit speechless.

"Perhaps Vorogis V wants to support him a little longer. Several nobles have already sent messages. It seems that he won't be able to hold on for long." Ganassis's deputy, the actual commander of the army, responded to Ganassis's words. .

"Okay, then let's keep fighting. I want to see how long this guy Vologis V can last?" Ganassis heard a stable answer, but he didn't dislike it too much and prepared to Keep supporting it.

But when he thought about the possibility of spending a year in another country, Ganassis began to silently increase the amount of war compensation paid by the Parthian Empire for this war. He did not think there was anything wrong with such behavior. .

"This guy Ganassis really doesn't take me seriously!" Vorogis V looked at the barbarian army attacking the city with a livid face. He also knew that the other party planned to fight, but he was very unwilling in his heart. , very reluctant to bow.

The war compensation was indeed a small amount of money for the wealthy Parthian Empire royal family, but the meaning and cost derived from it were beyond what money could make up for.

Once the compensation is paid, the time it will take for him to take the Parthian Empire to the top will probably only be longer.

Faced with this result, Vologis V could not accept it and was unwilling to accept it.

At this time, there were very few troops in Ctesiphon who really obeyed his orders. It was extremely difficult to hold on to the city wall and resist tenaciously relying on the city wall.

As for the so-called counterattack, it is completely wishful thinking.

The nobles standing on the city wall in the distance ignored the nervous and worried soldiers around them and looked outside the city with playful smiles, their words full of jokes.

This seemingly random behavior not only affected the mood of Vologis V, but also affected the soldiers who firmly defended the city wall.

These are the country's nobles, these are the country's spokespersons. They fight to the death to defend this country just to protect these people. Is it worth it? (End of chapter)
