Chapter 944: Activate the Roman Eagle Banner! (Addendum 18/100)

There are two candidates for the commander of the Liaodong Army, Chutian has two, one is Li Tao, who served as the military division of the Guanzhong Army, whether it is the commander or the resourcefulness, he can be called first-class.

There is also a candidate for Le Yi, who was transferred to the Praetorian Guard by Chu Tian.

Le Yi is also good at commanding soldiers and horses, as well as good at resourcefulness and internal affairs.

No matter which person you are, you have the ability to serve as the commander of the Liaodong Army.

In addition, among the Praetorian Guards, many commanders are qualified to serve as military commanders.

Chutian could even send Xiao Xuan to take over the Liaodong Army.

The Liaodong Army's bravery and good fighting were famous in the Han Empire, and with the strength of Liaodong, they could defeat the Goryeo Kingdom.

Therefore, it is crucial who to send to take over the Liaodong Army and eliminate the influence of the Mingguan forces in Liaodong.

"Li Tao surrendered, served me for less than a year, and was sent to Liaodong City, I am afraid that he will not be able to convince the public, and Le Yi will still be the commander of the Liaodong Army. Liaodong was originally the territory of the Yan Kingdom. ”

Chutian finally decided to appoint Le Yi to guard Liaodong.

Le Yi has been following Chutian for about ten years, and he is a veteran.

Chutian began to set up the Liaodong Army.

The Yanjia Legion, which was originally the Sixth Legion of the Praetorian Guard, was transferred to the Liaodong Army by Chutian as the first legion, with Yanjia as the main force, ruling the remnants left by the original Mingguan. Yanjia plus Liaodong infantry, mainly infantry, with a strength of 150,000 people.

Geng Yi and Zhu Neng formed the Assault Cavalry Corps, with the Youzhou Cavalry as the main force, as the second army of the Liaodong Army. Geng Yi and Zhu Neng's Youzhou Turquoise Cavalry combined, which can be used for both field and siege battles, and is the absolute main cavalry force of the Liaoning Army at present. Youzhou Turquoise Cavalry plus Liaodong Cavalry, mainly cavalry, with a strength of 100,000 people.

Zu Dashou formed the Guanning Legion, which was the third legion with an establishment of 50,000 people.

Gongsun Kang formed the Wuhuan Legion, which was the fourth legion with a strength of 50,000 people.

The entire Liaodong Army had 300,000 troops, far less than in the Ming Pass period. The opponent in the Ming Pass period was Chutian, so it was necessary to gather a large number of troops and fight to the death.

After the defeat of Mingguan, the Liaodong Army had no pressure, so it streamlined its troops and reduced financial expenditures.

Liaodong was originally part of Youzhou, and the Liaodong Army plus the Youzhou Army had reached 500,000, which was not a lot at all.

Cao Cao, as the commander of the Hebei Army, selected and trained 10,000 Wuhuan cavalry on his behalf, and transferred them to the world's famous cavalry.

As for Sun Chuanting, he was transferred to the Guanzhong Army by Chutian, and the source of his special troop "Qin Army" came from Guanzhong.

In addition, Chu Tian asked Qin Liangyu, Vulture Bone, and Zhang Yan to form a mountain legion to replace Le Yi's legion in the position of the Praetorian Guard.

The military is getting bigger and bigger, and the whole north has become a war machine, and an outlet is needed.

Chutian was already preparing for a westward expedition on the premise of unifying the Han Empire and conquering the surrounding civilizations.

Not long after the restoration of the country, the Goryeo Kingdom became one of Chutian's targets.

Before proceeding with the Great Conquest Plan, Chu Tian had one more thing to do.

There were also two Roman eagle flags in Chutian's warehouse, which were the trophies of the Third National War, and now they could finally be taken out, and then the Roman eagle banners could be used to form Roman legions.

The Roman legion is a unique class of Roman civilization, and there are three restrictions for lords of other civilizations to recruit their special troops.

First, it had a Roman eagle flag, each of which represented a Roman legion.

Second, there are military generals of Roman civilization.

Third, the Roman legions were drawn from Roman citizens.

Until now, Chu Tian has finally met these three conditions.

Although the Roman military general Varus recruited by Chutian in the battlefield of the National War was not a first-class Roman general such as Scipio, Marius, and Fabian, Valus helped Chutian meet the conditions for recruiting Roman legions.

Chu Tian returned to the warehouse in Xia City, found the dusty Roman Eagle Banner, and patted the dust on it.

The eagle flag, which was most cherished in the Roman Empire, was abandoned by Chutian in the past.

The Roman Eagle Banner is a special item, so you can see its introduction.

Chu Tian looked at the introduction of one of the Roman eagle flags.

Name: Roman Eagle Banner (15th Apollo Legion)

[Grade]: Special props, cannot be damaged

[Effect]: Used to form the fifteenth Apollo Legion of the Roman Empire

[Legion]: Participated in the Jewish War, the Dacian War, the Roman War against Persia, etc

[Legion Ability]: Protected by Apollo, the god of light in Greek mythology, after a legionnaire is injured, his injury recovery speed increases, his morale recovery speed increases, and his physical strength recovery speed increases.

Chu Tian read the introduction of one of the eagle flags, and knew that this eagle flag corresponded to the fifteenth legion of the Roman Empire, the Apollo Legion.

Chutian's establishment of various legions actually refers to the setting of the Roman legions.

It's just that the territory controlled by Chutian now is even larger, so there is also a military master above the legion, which is equivalent to the military district system.

Unlike the legions customized by Chutian, each Roman legion had its own special abilities.

This is one of the features of the Roman legions, as the Roman legions themselves are high-level troops, not custom legions.

Roman emperors could also customize legions, but they didn't have this special ability.

The carrier of the special ability is the "Roman Eagle Banner", and this item only works on the Roman legions.

Chu Tian thought about it for a while, the relationship between this was very exquisite.

The Roman Eagle gave each Roman legion different abilities, and even if the lords of other civilizations captured the Roman Eagle, they needed to meet other conditions in order for the Roman Eagle to be effective.

The conditions for recruiting the Roman legions were not met, and the Eagle Banner was useless.

The fifteenth Apollo legion of the Roman Empire, the ability is "restoration".

After the end of the big war, the injuries, morale, and physical strength can be quickly recovered so that they can be used for the next big battle.

This ability is very practical.

The importance of morale and physical strength goes without saying.

When the Arab Imperial army was hit by a meteorite and its morale collapsed, Khalid, the first general of the Arab Empire, also found it difficult to regroup his army.

There is also an eagle flag.

Name: Roman Eagle Banner (17th Legion)

[Grade]: Special props, cannot be damaged

[Effect]: Used to form the 17th Legion of the Roman Empire

[Legion]: Octavian was wiped out by the Germanic barbarians in the Battle of the Teutonic Forest

[Legion Ability]: A legion riddled with bad luck and poor luck.

“……”

Because Chutian recruited the Roman military general Varus, he knew that during the reign of Augustus Octavian of the Roman Empire, the Romans were annihilated by the 17th, 18th, and 19th legions in the Battle of the Teutoburg Forest by Germanic barbarians.

These three legions, even the Roman emperor feared, treated them as ominous.

They were indeed unlucky, among which the Eagle Banner of the 17th Legion was plundered by Chutian during the National War.

The 17th, 18th, and 19th legions, the three Roman legions with the least luck, may also be the weakest in combat, because they do not have their own abilities like the "Apollo" legions.

Still, it's better than nothing, and it's also a high-level legion.

After the two dusty eagle banners were removed, Chutian handed them over to Varus, who ordered him to form the fifteenth Apollo legion and the seventeenth unfortunate legion of the Roman Empire.

Siphias formed the Western Instruction of the Byzantine Empire.

Not only the elite legions of his own civilization, but Chutian also began to recruit elite legions of other civilizations.

He has more elite legions from other civilizations here, which is equivalent to indirectly weakening the strength of other civilizations and strengthening his own strength.

According to Chutian's estimates, it will take another year to form an effective combat force.

It took two months to recruit the Roman legions, with an initial level of 10 for recruits, and ten months for training.

Training can increase the level of the Roman legion, and the average level must reach at least 40 before it can be considered out of the recruit stage.

It will also take a year for the regiments to be reorganized, recruited, and trained.

Raising soldiers for a thousand days is not an empty word, in "Lord", the existence of rank makes the gap in training more obvious.

A Roman legion with an average level of 100 can crush a Roman legion with an average level of 10, because the former is a division of battles, and the latter is a new legion that has just been formed.

……

In Western Asia, a large number of Mongol, Turkic, and Persian cavalry launched an offensive against the remnants of the Persian Empire.

Mingguan, the king of Liaodong, participated in the conquest of the Persian Empire by Tulei.

The Golden Family is determined to destroy the ancient and powerful Persian civilization, and for this reason, Tuo Lei has bought many nobles and rebels of the Persian civilization.

A small team from the east arrives on the plateau of Western Asia.

The legendary lobbyist Wang Lang was ordered by Chutian to travel thousands of miles, risking the danger of being discovered by the Golden Family, starting from the Dawan Kingdom of the Western Regions Protectorate, all the way to the west, and finally found Mingguan.

Wang Lang was wrapped in a turban, disguised as a camel trader in the desert.

As a generation of economists, he braved a lot of hardships, just like Ban Chao, walking on the Silk Road.

He came here for one purpose......

"I have heard the name of the public for a long time, and I am fortunate to have a while. Han Zuo has ended, King Xia walked along the sky, swept the four seas, pacified the eight directions, and the destiny of heaven returned. Although the public is defeated, it is not a crime of war, but it is actually the civil and military of the Holy Spirit of the King of Xia. The public must not act against the heavens and waste their hard work. Instead of serving the treacherous evil, it is better to return to Huaxia and submit to the king of Xia, and still not lose the throne of the king. ”

Wang Lang saw the burly Mingguan, so he immediately persuaded Mingguan to surrender.

“……”

Mingguan frowned deeply.

He was very surprised to see the envoy sent by Chutian to lobby him in West Asia, but he couldn't help but wonder if Wang Lang, the genius sent by Chutian, really wanted to recruit him.

After thinking for a while, Mingguan said, "I already understand what he means, you can get out." ”

Wang Lang asked again: "How is the public reply?" ”

"Get out."

Mingguan gave Chang Yuchun a look, and suddenly lifted Chang Yuchun up to Wang Lang with one hand and threw Wang Lang out.

Wang Lang landed on the ground with a buttocks, patted the dust, and looked depressed: "How to report to King Xia when I go back this time." ”

Wang Lang spent a lot of time coming to West Asia, but he was kicked out as soon as he said a few words to Mingguan.

Chu Tian asked him to persuade him to return to the Han Empire, but for Wang Lang, it was an impossible task to complete.
