Chapter 2558
Betting on a Possibility
...
After learning about this military promotion system, Sima Yi was able to better understand the former Parthia. It would not be an exaggeration to call it an empire.
The huge number of basic elite troops means that in a state of war, the opponent will definitely be able to send out elite troops with the second talent.
And elite troops with the second talent naturally also have the elite talent of Incineration, which can burn the enemy.
The talent of the Incineration Unit is destined to be able to directly lower certain over-standard troops to a lower level.
At that time, not only will the huge basic troops be able to output effectively, but they can also cooperate with the elite troops of the major nobles to directly cause cross-level attacks. It can be said to be a very good system.
Unfortunately, the nobility is both the cause of success and the cause of failure.
The seven noble families united as one, under the leadership of the royal family, they were definitely a well-deserved empire. However, when the noble families fell apart and no longer obeyed the call of the royal family, the system that had been built was left with only the afterglow of its demise.
Under Sima Yi's gaze, the subsequent changes on the battlefield could be said to be not much different.
The Parthian army displayed its elite talents and materialized them, and the fighting power it unleashed directly blocked the barbarian army and even gradually pushed it back.
However, facing the Roman Eagle Legion, the combat effectiveness displayed by the Parthian army can only be described as very average.
After a brief fight and feeling the momentum of the Parthian soldiers, Benito felt that he had almost understood the enemy's strength and could pack up and prepare to retreat.
The combat effectiveness displayed by the Parthian army was much stronger than he expected, but it was also within an acceptable range.
Although they are stronger than the auxiliary Barbarian Legion, they are still quite far from their level.
A frontal breakthrough may indeed lead to victory, but the cost may be a bit high. Instead, we can retreat according to the plan and use the river to reverse the situation.
Just as Benito was about to tell Giulia about this plan, he saw the
Gillia, became more distant from him.
"Notify Gillia to prepare for retreat!" Benito looked at Gillia, who was still following the previous orders step by step, and nodded with satisfaction. He then sent people to notify the commanders of each legion to prepare to implement the backup plan.
Without being broken through or divided, Benito's orders flowed smoothly and reached the hands of various Roman legion commanders at a very fast speed.
Dilina, who also received the information, glanced at the Parthian soldiers in front of him, but did not see the fear in their eyes that he had seen before.
We're in trouble. This mentality of the other party is definitely not the look a soldier should have during a normal counterattack.
"Retreat?!" Upon learning this information, Giulia glanced at the Parthian central army flag. In this chaotic situation, the distance between them had been shortened to within two hundred steps without them noticing.
For some fast people, this distance is just a matter of a few breaths.
Even some excellent archers could hit the target every time in this place. In other words, the legion he led was enough to threaten the enemy's central army flag.
In this situation, why retreat? Only those who are alone can retreat, and the truly excellent ones will attack!
"Notify Benito and Dilina to cooperate with me and launch an attack directly on the enemy in front of us to prevent them from returning to reinforce the central army. Watch me take down the enemy's central army flag and lead the army to victory!" Gillia wiped his face with the flag in his hand and issued the notice in an extremely proud tone.
After hearing this, the messenger immediately passed on the message.
After giving the order, Gillia drew the sword from his waist and pointed the tip of the sword.
The Rose Legion, which was originally holding large shields and was only responsible for blocking the defense line and colliding with the enemy, suddenly burst out with a stronger collision force. Many Parthian soldiers who were hit were directly knocked to the ground. The Rose Legion forcibly created a dent in the Parthian battle line, making the Parthian battle line look like it had been hit by a heavy punch.
Gillia was very satisfied with the space created by this attack, but as the Scarlet Rose, how could it be that it had only this ability?
"It's not over yet. Let me show you, trash, what a bloody rose is. Crush them and chop down their central army flag!" It can be said that the next moment after the collision, Gillia directly activated the Eagle Flag talent with all his strength and blessed it on the Rose Legion.
The eagle flag, fully activated, emitted a bright red light, covering every soldier of the Rose Legion.
The relics of Emperor Caesar, the 13th Eagle Legion of the Roman Empire, at this moment showed their strength to the world and announced their existence.
The surging momentum of the legion directly suppressed the momentum of the surrounding Parthian soldiers and rolled forward.
Before the Parthian soldiers had reorganized their defenses, the Rose Legion soldiers who were originally in the middle and rear of the Rose Legion but were already prepared instantly changed their formation.
The distance between the shields directly created a passage for people to pass through. One powerful javelin after another passed through the gap and pierced through the wooden shields of the Parthian soldiers, seriously injuring the Parthian soldiers holding the shields.
It can be said that the next second after the javelin reached the Parthian soldiers, the Rose soldiers holding spears crossed the front-line shield defense line and directly formed a forest of spears. The rapid and effective thrust caused a sharp increase in casualties among the Parthian soldiers in this place.
The death of a large number of soldiers in a short period of time also made it impossible for the surrounding Parthian soldiers to fill the vacancies, and the Rose Legion directly cut down a huge battle space.
Under the cover of medium and long-range attacks and the cyclical advance, not only did they effectively kill hundreds of people, but they also brought Gillia closer to the position of the central army flag by more than twenty steps before encountering a certain degree of resistance.
As the flag grew bigger and more visible, Gillia felt more and more that credit and victory were just around the corner.
Seeing this scene, Fars Sassanid, who originally just wanted to drive the Roman Empire into the river, suddenly became interested.
As a mature and steady general, he responds to any situation with caution, which is a reflection of his character.
But looking at the Rose Legion so close, Fars Sassan had the idea of taking a gamble in his mind.
The effect of the Rose Legion's eagle flag has been fixed, which means that it is difficult to change this battle. If they choose a more fierce attack, they will lose the opportunity to retreat quickly.
Take a gamble, a chance to wash away the shame!
"Order the central army to take turns to retreat, and prepare to move the central army flag back!" Even though he knew the danger of moving the flag back, Fars Sassan still chose to do it, just to gamble on a possibility. (End of this chapter)
