Chapter 2566
The Imperial Twins
...
"No need. The other side has informed us not to take action. This is their war. The victory and glory should belong to them, and cannot be taken advantage of by us." Facing everyone's gaze, Sima Yi shook his head gently and gave a plausible reason.
Xizhong naturally knew that this reason was misleading, and he also knew the meaning behind this reason.
However, it is precisely because he knows this that Xi Zhong feels extra satisfied in Sima Yi's eyes.
Helping is helping, calculating is calculating, but delaying one's own calculations because of helping is the basic quality that a wise man should possess.
From this perspective, Sima Yi's psychological qualities are indeed enough to match the other party's talents, and he is well-deserved to be called a genius of the world.
"In that case, can we go down the river and rescue the Parthian soldiers?" Seeing that no one else raised any objections, Duan Yun thought about it and decided to do what he could.
Sima Yi did not object to this request. After all, there was nothing wrong in saving his own soldiers. He nodded and agreed to the request.
After receiving the order of approval, Duan Yun turned his horse's head lightly and led his Flying Bear Army at the speed of regular light cavalry, all the way downstream of the river.
When Sima Yi saw this scene, a hint of satisfaction flashed in the corner of his eyes.
They were not wearing any armor, just a layer of ordinary cloth and leather armor. Combined with their movement speed, to an uninformed eye, the Feixiong Army would definitely be regarded as light cavalry.
If you treat the Feixiong Army with the same attitude as you would treat light cavalry, either your plan will fail or you will be killed by the Feixiong soldiers.
It can be said that Duan Yun did an excellent job in terms of early intelligence misleading.
Benito, who was on the river, never thought that being on the river and invincible was precisely the most dangerous time.
The Flying Bear Army, which did not launch an attack, did not attract much attention from Benito.
After all, the light cavalry had no way to cross the river. Even if they went down the river and found a good place to force a crossing, it would not be something that could be accomplished in a short time.
And within this time frame, it is easy to accomplish what you want to do.
"Retreat!" After casually killing a Parthian soldier who emerged from the river, Benito turned his head to look at the silent battlefield. Seeing that the momentum of the Rose Legion had been collapsed, he gave the order to retreat with a grim face.
As for the Parthian soldiers in the river, it would be useless no matter how many they were killed. If the Rose Legion was gone, it would be gone for real.
The legions left behind by Caesar the Great now lost one of their troops, and it was destroyed right in front of him.
After receiving the order, the soldiers of the Fourteenth Eagle Flag Legion simply ignored the Parthian soldiers in the river and quickly ran to the rear to execute the retreat order.
When he crossed the width of the river and stood on land, Benito directly disbanded the power attached to the eagle flag, restored to the state from the beginning, and then switched the soldier's talent to swiftness, running quickly to catch up with the friendly forces that had retreated in advance.
The second infinite talent bestowed by the Eagle Flag is not one's own talent after all. It not only consumes the power of the Eagle Flag, but also consumes their reserves.
Especially for talents as outrageous as walking on water, the energy consumed was not less, even more than some extreme combat talents. If they could transform the power of the eagle flag into their own ability, then their consumption would be much less, and their frontal combat ability would surely be enough to rank in the top five in the entire Roman Empire. Unfortunately, they couldn't do it, they couldn't do it at all.
"Did the Roman Legion really retreat this time?" Sun Quan looked at the Roman Legion that was getting smaller and smaller, turned his head to look at Lu Meng, and asked in a somewhat unconfident tone.
If it had happened before this day, he would have definitely used a firm tone to confirm that the other party had retreated.
But after witnessing all this with his own eyes, Sun Quan still felt that the world was quite big and that some strange things would still be born there.
Things that they had never seen before could actually be put on the table for them to visit. Besides being frightening, it was also very helpful in broadening their horizons.
Whether it is the decisive battle arms that are destroyed as a whole, or the all-round adaptable arms, the infinitely talented creation corps is truly eye-opening.
"After we retreat and lose the most effective front-line army, it will be pointless for the enemy to continue staying here. The premise of a fight to the death is to have enough strength to support it. If there is not even the strength to support it, then there will be no meaning of a fight to the death..." Lu Meng shook his head and explained the difference.
The combat between soldiers, their mentality and beliefs will not only be transmitted, but also strengthen and amplify each other.
When this mentality and will change, the final result will also change.
The mentality that the Rose Legion had at the beginning was definitely one of the best in the world.
However, as the war continued, the Rose Legion slowly declined from its peak. But as the war continued, the morale of the Parthian Legion's soldiers continued to rise, even surpassing the previous peak and moving towards another peak.
This special state of morale and the changing momentum of attack and defense, Lu Meng also had similar objects in his mind.
Battle of Dragon City!
This is a war that cannot be called a victory just by looking at the results, but the impact it brought is enough to be called a great victory.
Removing the shackles that bound the mind allowed the strong body to function normally, and then proving invincibility again allowed the mind and will to reach another peak, a peak that was enough to match the body.
It can be said that if this situation continues in this way, Lu Meng will have to doubt the future of Parthia. Will it be like the former Han Empire, defeating the strong, defeating the strong, and then becoming strong!
“Shouldn’t it be possible?” Thinking of the possible evolution of the other party, and recalling the contemptuous look he once gave to the other party, Sun Quan said in a skeptical tone, “They are the twin peaks of the empire, twin peaks of the empire that haven’t appeared in a hundred years. How could there be such a person in the Parthian Empire?”
Lu Meng shook his head slightly, looked at Fars Sassan in the distance, and then glanced at Ardashir, whose clothes were obviously different in color.
One is mature and steady, uses troops in a righteous way and is extremely stable; the other is young and vigorous, dares to fight and uses troops in an unconventional way, and is very capable.
How similar and how identical they are. The talent this young man possesses is probably even higher than I imagined.
Lu Meng withdrew his gaze, retracted the thoughts in his mind, and realized that the situation was unlikely, so he gave up some of his tactics.
