家园 尼禄时期的帕提亚军

名将科尔布罗(Domitius Corbulo, AD7-67)进军亚美尼亚,赶跑了帕提亚人。尼禄将一个长期在罗马当人质的帕提亚王子扶上亚美尼亚王位,科尔布罗调任叙利亚总督,庸碌无能的帕伊图斯被委派指挥亚美尼亚驻军。沃洛吉西斯一世抓住机会,亲率部队击败帕伊图斯,两个罗马军团丧失了战斗力(第四和十二)。

有人用这段史料来证明帕提亚军的强大,不错嘛,击垮了2个军团哦。

好吧,看看细节。

主要史料是出自塔西陀的《编年史》

1、罗马军队只有2个军团,而帕提亚国王是全国主力。

罗马将军帕伊图斯给帕提亚王写的信:“你以举国兵力来对抗的只是2个罗马军团”。

("Peace was an interest of both parties alike: the king must not look solely to the present — he had come up against a couple of legions with the full forces of his realm. Rome had the world in reserve, with which to support the war.")

即便如此,

罗马人还是自信满满,

不准备采取坚守大营的拖延战术

准备用野战打垮帕提亚王军。

庸将嘛。

罗马人摆的阵型是3000步兵摆在山上,

精锐骑兵驻守平原,

1个中队驻守要塞,

再扣除留守大营的,

野战总兵力估计不到6000人,

还准备2面夹击。

“he posted three thousand picked infantry on the neighbouring heights of the Taurus, where they were to bar the passage of the king: the Pannonian squadrons, also, composing the flower of his cavalry, were stationed in a part of the plain. His wife and son found concealment in a fortress known as Arsamosata, to which he allowed a cohort by way of garrison; thus dispersing a force which, if concentrated, might have coped more effectively with its shifting adversary.”

结果被帕提亚王率领大军各个击破。

史书说道:

“吓跑了骑兵,打垮了步兵”。

于是乎,

两个罗马军团丧失了战斗力。

罗马将军居然想只用2个军团不到兵力,

来和帕提亚王军野战,

结果可耻的失败了。

罗马人固然狂妄自大,

但是,帕提亚王军被如此轻视,

是不是也说明了什么?

帕提亚王军乘胜包围罗马军大营。

如此危急时刻,

名将科尔布罗当然要来救援了,

他对付帕提亚举国兵力的援军出动了多少呢?

步兵3000,骑兵800。

“Still, he ordered a thousand men from each of the three legions, with eight hundred auxiliary horse, and a body of similar strength from the cohorts, to prepare themselves for the road.”

罗马名将准备用3800兵力来对付帕提亚王军,

罗马庸将准备用6000兵力来对付帕提亚王军。

不知道这些帕提亚人有没有脸去面对卡莱的列祖列宗?

最后,尼禄时期的帕提亚人有一个细节:

“帕提亚军和罗马军总是保持在投枪投射不到的距离上,时而采取想要进攻,时而又采取假装害怕的姿态,指望用这种办法分散我们的队伍,然后再分别加以攻击。”

然道这时候的帕提亚骑射的射程比标枪还近?
