On the hill, the wounded barracks.
In a free-standing tent.
Ma Chao has taken off the armor on his body, naked, lying on the wooden bed, there are many large and small wounds on his body, but the deepest wound is then his back, and a military doctor is carefully stitching up the deep wound on his back.
"Commander Ma, do you want to boil the hemp?"
"No, clean the wound and close it directly" "But it hurts," the doctor hesitated.
"It's okay, I can bear it" Ma Chao is not reckless, but Ma Boiling Powder is the same thing as Menghan medicine, the amount is too much, it will make people unconscious, and he, a person who uses force as the basic, is very disgusted with this drug.
"Commander" At this time, outside the tent, Il, the deputy commander of the Independent Army and also the chief of staff, opened the curtain and walked in.
"You wait a minute" Ma Chao didn't raise his head, and said lightly.
"No" Yier is also a super fierce general, but he has no arrogance at all in front of Ma Chao.
If Ma Chao wants to kill him, three moves are enough.
About a quarter of an hour has passed, and the military doctor has already completed stitching up the wound on Ma Chao's body, and has also applied medicine, and then instructed: "Commander Ma, there is no big problem with your other wounds, but the wound on your back is very deep, and it hurts your backbone, you must take care of it well, and within half a month, you must not move."
"Thank you, Doctor Luo, a certain family remembers" Ma Chao put on a long shirt, sat down directly from the plate on the wooden couch, took a sweat towel, and wiped the cold sweat off his body.
After the medic left, Ilr walked up.
"Report to the Commander, the report of the damage of the Independence Army has come out" Yir is a Parthian, but he has been obedient to the Wu Dynasty for two years, and at first he was very difficult to speak Chinese, but now Chinese is very smooth, that is, the accent is a little awkward, but he can listen to it and communicate, which is good.
"Say" Ma Chao heard the words and said calmly.
Killed a thousand, self-loss of 800, his tens of thousands of soldiers and horses rushed into the hundreds of thousands of Roman troops, although they hit them suddenly, but also let them bite back all over the body, he has been prepared in his heart, this battle will inevitably suffer heavy casualties.
"Our Independence Army suffered 18,000 casualties, the highest number of casualties of any army, 11,000 killed, 270 maimed, 1,100 seriously wounded, and 5,800 lightly wounded," Il's heart was a little heavy, these were Parthians, and although he was prepared, he was still sad.
"The first battle of Seleucia City, the first battle of Uruk City, two consecutive battles, our independent army can be regarded as disabled" Ma Chao's pupils were faint, and he sighed: "The casualties are all Parthians, Il, you regretted fighting with me" "The army commander often said that only those who work the battlefield can survive, and when we go to the battlefield, we have words of regret" Il, on the other hand, was very open-minded.
In the past, he surrendered to the Great Wu court, and he was a little unwilling.
But over the years, although the Parthians did not live very well, they were not bad, at least they were not treated as slaves, you must know that in the battle between Parthia and Rome, most of them were slaves after losing.
Now the land of the three states may be a little chaotic, but after the establishment of the three states governor's palace in Parthia, the order is much better, and the people's lives have begun to become much better.
He believed that there was nothing wrong with surrendering, and that if they persisted, the Parthians would face extermination.
The most important thing is that he has a role model today.
Singh, one of the five captains of the Snow Leopard Legion.
This is a Guishan man, although he is only a military commander now, but he has been awarded the title of Sanpin Duke, and he is still above the Marquis of Tai Shici, he was named the Duke of Guishan, because he has made many meritorious achievements, and in addition to the imperial court in order to appease the land of Guishan, so his title is a real duke, which also allows many Guishan people to get one of the Great Wu courts.
Today, 80 percent of the translators in the army are from Guishan Prefecture.
In the land of Kushan, the east and west are connected, and many of them understand Chinese, as well as many of them understand the Anxican and Roman languages, so they have become the best candidates for translators.
Singh can do it, he can do it, he believes that one day, he will also bring honor to the Parthian people, bring a better life to the Parthian people, so he has been fighting hard.
"Commander, there is something unknown in the last general" Yi'er looked at Ma Chao and said suddenly.
"Say" "Commander, you have always been just responding to battles, fighting for battles, fighting without fighting, not inviting battles, but since you entered Mesopotamia, you have been inviting battles, inviting battles again and again, and making many achievements, what is the so-called" Yier was a little disgusted at first by Ma Chao's parachuted into the Parthian Independence Army, although he was later subdued by Ma Chao's force and arrogance, but he always had to understand the past of this commander.
He knew that Ma Chao was not actually a pure general of the Great Wu Army, he was the defeated princes of the Central Plains, and he was also a criminal general who needed to wear guilt and make meritorious contributions.
"The past is the past, the present is the present" The corners of Ma Chao's mouth raised a wry smile, and said: "In the past, I didn't need to make meritorious service, but now, I need merit, I must make meritorious service, I need to make the court heavy, I need merit to be recognized by the people, I have made meritorious service, and it is also the credit of the Independent Army, the Independent Army now has a main force of 50,000 soldiers, far more than the strength of an army, and there are tens of thousands of reserve military service in Taixifeng Prefecture, I estimate that the Military Aircraft Department will soon expand the Independent Army into a legion."
There are three states in the territory of rest, and the state of Ctesiphon is the western part of the territory of rest, with Ctesiphon as the capital.
There were quite a few reserve troops in Ctesiphon, all of which were reserve troops for the Independence Army, and the Parthians were basically recruited from the Sabbath territory through the reputation of Il.
This is also the reason why the independent army continued to fight, fought first, and suffered such large losses, but it was still able to replenish its troops in time.
"Will it?"
Hearing this, Yi'er's eyes lit up slightly, but he was a little worried: "Under the establishment of the Wu army, there are only ten legions in the regular combat army, and the military aircraft department will not easily increase the establishment of a legion, and our Parthians still make the court a little jealous, and there were a lot of rebellions last year, and the court will not let our Parthians become an independent legion."
Expanding a legion is not only a matter of strength, but also status.
The Parthians were already subservient to the court.
However, in the vast territory of the former Anxi Empire, there were actually some guerrilla forces that rebelled against the imperial court, and there were also many Parthian young people in the mountainous areas who were pulling up a team to resist the rule of the Wu Dynasty, and for the Wu Dynasty, the Parthians were still a hidden danger.
"Yes" Ma Chao smiled, stretched out his hand, patted him on the shoulder, and said: "We have reserve troops, we can pull out 100,000 main forces at any time, we have won successive battles, and we have countless achievements, the Military Aircraft Department will naturally consider it, and our Majesty is not so small-minded, if he dares to use the Parthians, he will not be afraid of the Parthian rebellion."
"That's why the commander is willing to fight" Il's eyes narrowed slightly.
"Sort of" Ma Chao nodded and said, "I can't watch the independent army we built with one hand finally be promoted to the legion, but let others pick the fruit, it's best that my cooperation with you has always been very pleasant."
Although he is a criminal general, he is not alone.
Ma Yunlu would send him a letter every month, in which he would gather family and tell him some movements in the court, so that he could understand the movements of the court.

Behind Ma Yunlu is the mansion of Zhao Guogong.
The Twelve Princes of Great Wu, in the imperial court, both military and political, are all powerful political factions, and they don't know how many officials are vassals behind them, and Zhao Yun naturally doesn't talk about me.
She naturally knew what was going on in the court.
Ma Chao has also thought about it clearly over the years, he can't always live with the past, for the honor of the Ma family, he should also stand up again, if he wants to stand up, he must make merit.
"The last general is willing to follow the commander to conquer Rome" Ilr nodded, bowing his head.
Even if the independent army is expanded to the size of the legion, the position of the commander of the legion will not be him, because his prestige among the Parthians is too high, and the imperial court does not care about this, so it must be a Wu person to lead this legion.
He knows Ma Chao, Ma Chao is in the middle of the world, and he will not discriminate against him Parthians, if he changes to a main general, he may not be so kind.
"Il, the Parthians do not live up to me, and I will never fail the Parthians" Ma Chao looked at Yier's statement and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
He could only rely on the Parthian Independence Army here, this was his only chance, and it was also his hole card for a comeback, and he naturally hoped that the Parthians would be reunited with his sincere alliance.
"Commander, the Parthians value commitments, you have a promise, I am willing to do my best to help" Il's voice was firm.
"Then let's fight together" Ma Chao nodded, and he said softly: "Yier, after you return to the army, immediately go to appease the morale of the army, under the huge casualties, the soldiers will have complaints, we have made enough contributions now, plus the operation of the Zhao State Mansion and the Wei State Mansion in the imperial court, it is enough for the Military Aircraft Department to consider promoting the Independent Army to the City Independent Army, but the more this time, the more a test period, the Military Aircraft Department cannot promote a wolf who fights back, so they must investigate the attitude of the Parthian soldiers towards the imperial court, If the officers and men in the army complain and complain about the court, it will inevitably bring variables to this matter, we have paid so much, we have won many battles, and we have suffered heavy casualties, for the sake of this one hope, I will never allow anyone to cut off our hope."
"The End Will Understand" Yir nodded, clenched his fists and left: "Commander, please rest assured, I will definitely do my best to appease every Parthian soldier" In the empty tent, Ma Chao sat cross-legged peacefully, his tiger eyes burst out with a scorching light, and he muttered to himself: "Zhao Zilong, I have pinned all my hopes on you."
Three days later.
Among the city-states of Uruk.
In this city-state, which had been completely destroyed by the war and was in ruins, the Taishi Ci Department of the Wu Army and the Zhuge Liang Army, which had increased its strength from the north, entered the city from the north and south and joined forces.
After they met, they were surprised to find that the Roman army outside the western outskirts of the city-state of Uruk had already left the territory of the city-state of Uruk and began to withdraw its troops in an orderly manner towards the southwestern province of Syria.
"The last general Tai Shici, thank you to the chief of the general staff for leading the reinforcements, the last general is tens of thousands of soldiers of the Snow Leopard Legion, I am grateful" On a city wall with thousands of holes, Tai Shici bowed to Zhuge Liang.
He knew that the previous battle could be fought so smoothly, and part of it was willing to be Zhuge Liang's timely reinforcements.
If Zhuge Liang hadn't led his troops to entangle the Apollo Legion in the north in time, they would probably have to pay a lot of price to get out smoothly.
In fact, Zhuge Liang had already led his soldiers and horses to the Uruk battlefield the night before Tai Shici decided to attack at night.
But he didn't have many troops.
Throwing in it may not be able to counter the Roman offensive.
So he's been waiting for an opportunity.
The opportunity soon came, and when the Wu army came out of the nest and attacked the main camp in Rome at night, he sensed that this was a good opportunity, and immediately led the army to attack the Apollo army and entangle them.
Zhuge Liang's reinforcements were only 50,000 soldiers.
But it was because of these 50,000 soldiers that the victory of the Mesopotamian campaign was established.
Orvili also had to admit the defeat of this battle because of Zhuge Liang's reinforcements, and in desperation, he led the main force of the remnants to withdraw his troops in the direction of Syria.
"Commander Taishi doesn't have to be polite" Zhuge Liang was still wearing a blue and white robe, elegant, and graceful, he shook his hand and said with a smile: "In the first battle of Uruk, Commander Taishi fought more with less, and did not hesitate to suffer casualties, and fought to the death against the main force of Rome, it is really the honor of my first western theater, if it weren't for Commander Taishi to lead the Snow Leopard Legion to fight to the death, I'm afraid that the first theater in my western region would have been defeated."
The two exchanged pleasantries before getting to the point.
"Chief of the General Staff, in your opinion, has the main Roman force really given up on Mesopotamia and withdrawn its troops, or is a new offensive brewing" Tai Shici looked into the distance and asked in a deep voice.
Although the Roman army withdrew from the city-state of Uruk, it does not mean that they abandoned Mesopotamia.
The fist was withdrawn in order to punch out more forcefully.
It is difficult to guarantee that the Roman army is not an illusory blow, and then kill a back horse pistol.
"It's supposed to be a retirement" When Zhuge Liang heard this, he thought for a while, and said: "The scouts reported that their troops have begun to withdraw to Syria one after another, a few days ago, you fought back and completely hurt them, I guess that in a short period of time, it is impossible for them to organize a counterattack, and the Roman soldiers are not blowing in a strong wind, and they will be afraid of one less than one who dies."
"I hope it's a retreat" Tai Shici smiled bitterly: "My Snow Leopard Legion was disabled in this battle, the casualties were above average, and more than 30,000 soldiers were killed in the battle, these are all veteran soldiers, if you want to recover, there will be no two or three years, let alone impossible, if you continue to fight, you will really be wiped out."
"Not only the Snow Leopard Legion, but even the Guanzhong Legion also suffered heavy casualties" Zhuge Liang sighed: "This time, our first western theater resisted the main force of the Roman army, and the casualties were very large, but the second western theater won the final credit."
The "Second Western War Zone" Tai Shici is a little unclear.
The battle of the city-state of Uruk was fought too hard, and the perimeter was surrounded by the Roman army, and the news of Armenia did not reach their ears.
"The second western theater of operations was one step ahead of us, seized the province of Armenia, attacked by forcibly crossing the Caspian Sea, and pacified Armenia in just a few days with small casualties, so Lu Bu was rewarded by the imperial court as the first prince, King Lu," Zhuge Liang said.
"King of the King" "Lu Bu is the king, how can he be virtuous?"
"They took Armenia by themselves" When the generals heard this, they suffered a lot of blows.
"Shut up for me, what kind of chaos is coming, in fact, they are the great merit established one step ahead of us, and the court rewards them, and they deserve to let them."
If the most uncomfortable thing is Tai Shi Ci, Tai Shi Ci didn't even get a duke in the ceremony of Taishan Feng Chan because of the western disrespect, and he was still a marquis, but he didn't expect Lu Bu to be crowned king.
However, he was not jealous, he was a little thoughtful about the reason, and Sun Quan also understood that he would not reward a prince so casually.
"Chief of the General Staff, is there any reason we don't know about?"

Tai Shici asked in a low voice.
"Roman territory, divided among the princes" Zhuge Liang glanced at him and gave him eight words.
"I see" Tai Shici's eyes lit up.
The imperial court wanted to implement the feudal system of princes on the territory of Rome, and he had only heard a little rumor about it, but he never took it seriously, but he never thought that it was actually true.
"Commander Taishi, the imperial court has its own arrangements in this regard, I believe that the imperial court will not favor one over the other, what we have to do now is to stabilize the situation in Mesopotamia, and we must drive all the Roman troops out of Mesopotamia and end this war."
Zhuge Liang said: "Today's first war zone in the west urgently needs to recuperate" "The End Will Understand" Hearing this, Tai Shici calmed down, nodded, and asked, "Chief of the General Staff, what do we need to do now?"
"There has been news from the north, Zhang He led the Guanzhong Army, which is moving westward, and the Roman army has withdrawn its troops to the west, and this victory is stable, but we must force the Roman Empire to take the lead in negotiating peace."
Zhuge Liang said: "So although your Snow Leopard Legion and the Independence Army are very tired, you still have to move, unite with the reinforcements I lead, and approach Syria to the southwest."
"Chief of the General Staff, if we chase too closely, will it cause their dogs to jump off the wall" Chen Gong opened his mouth and asked, "It's not appropriate to fight again at this time."
"The dog jumped over the wall in a hurry to jump, they had already jumped, and they wouldn't withdraw their troops so easily" Zhuge Liang said confidently: "I guess the Roman army should be more anxious than us now, they fought much more tragically than us in this battle, especially in your previous battle, which burned most of their grain and grass, and now they have a lot of troops, but the grain and grass are definitely insufficient, force them, maybe they can get a little cheap."
"Chief of the General Staff, in fact, this is the credit of the Independence Army" Tai Shi Ci glanced at Ma Chao, whose body was as straight as a javelin among the generals: "If it weren't for Captain Ma Chao's lone army to fight in it and mess up its formation, I'm afraid we wouldn't have been able to fight this victory."
"Commander Ma, you are the leader in this battle, and I will personally ask for credit for Commander Ma in the first war zone in the west" Zhuge Liang smiled slightly, his eyes were sharp, as if he wanted to see Ma Chao up and down transparently, he wanted to know the reason why Ma Chao suddenly became heroic and good at fighting.
"What is the merit of the matter" Ma Chao arched his hand very calmly and said lightly.
Something to do As soon as these words came out, the eyes of many generals looked at Ma Chao.
There is no problem for everyone to say this sentence, because they are all soldiers of the Great Wu Army, but from Ma Chao's mouth, it is completely different.
"Haha" When Tai Shi Ci heard this, his face changed, and he suddenly laughed loudly: "What Commander Ma said is very true, my generation of Great Wu soldiers, fighting for the imperial court is a matter of duty." t1706231537:
