God Three Group Chat: Three Kingdoms

...

The Romans knew their own business, so they were cautious in dealing with the new reinforcements.

Eleven is auxiliary, twenty-one and twenty-two lack the experience of war, not to mention the seventh. There is essentially no big difference between having an eagle flag or not.

In other words, if there is no way to spread the eagle flag, the elite troops on their side will basically be the same as the coalition forces of Parthia and the Han Empire.

But the Parthians and the Han Empire people didn't know that anyone who heard that the number of the opponent's elite troops, especially the Eagle Flag Legion, had doubled would be terrified.

Especially after confirming the information, Vologases V of Parthia directly gave the order to prepare for retreat.

After all, the Roman army was too powerful. If they stayed on Roman soil, even if they really defeated the Legion of Military Spirit, they might not be able to withdraw.

Of course, things have also changed in the Han Empire.

"Can we still fight like this?" Sun Quan looked at Lu Meng with an unpleasant expression, asking about the possible outcome of the battle.

"If every Eagle Flag Legion is like this, then I'm afraid we're in big trouble. The Thirteenth Rose Legion's enhanced attack and defense limits, the Fourteenth Combination's infinite talents, the Fifth Skylark's chaotic suppression, the Ninth Spain's frontal breakthrough, the Fifteenth Initial Creative Ice and Snow Defense, none of them is simple stuff..." Lu Meng's face calmed down a lot. After all, he had seen a lot and his mentality was much more stable.

The full strength standard of a Roman legion was completely different from that of the Han Empire. Not only were there more people, but they also had their own auxiliary legions. If the two fought, it could be said that the outcome was extremely obvious.

After the Roman Empire added more elite troops and armies, the pressure they faced did become greater.

Especially for their Jiangdong faction, which was mainly composed of infantry, it was difficult to guarantee that they would not be caught up by the enemy during the retreat.

"The enemy has reinforcements, so we retreat. How could they not pursue us?" Li Yan simply shook his head and denied the other possibility with his words.

Once they were pursued, if Sima Yi did not activate his talent, they would have to face siege from several times their number of elite troops. However, if Sima Yi activated his talent, they would also face no fewer opponents.

Moreover, it was indeed very difficult to hide their whereabouts since they were in the eastern provinces of Rome.

In any case, these Roman citizens and barbarians are still very loyal to the country of Rome.

It cannot be said that all of them love this country, but there are only a few who betray it.

Just based on the phenomena shown by these civilians, we can infer the state of the Roman Empire.

If an empire is not thriving, prosperous and strong, such a situation will basically not occur.

"So sometimes, what we infer based on the most basic information is often the most surprising. As long as we retreat, we will definitely not be able to cover our tracks. The difference is how long we can delay. What we need is time. In a sense, this is also one of the tests we have to accept." Sima Yi had a blank expression on his face and used other words to describe the current dilemma he was facing.

If you don't make a decision quickly, you will suffer the consequences. If you can't make a decision quickly, the result will be endless trouble.

As for how to retreat, that was a question they needed to consider. Of course, if they wanted to retreat regardless of the cost, it would be easy as pie.

However, as generals and commanders who brought the soldiers here, they naturally have to retreat successfully at the lowest cost. If they can't even do this, then there is no point in them coming here.

"If we abandon the supplies and evacuate directly on horseback, we will be back at the Euphrates River in less than three days. Taking into account the pontoon bridge and the Tigris River, the wasted time will probably not be less than ten days. With our current reserves, if we travel light, I'm afraid we'll need two horses per person..." Xi Zhong thought about their current supplies and gave a direct result and answer.

"Horses are not a problem. We have enough horses to satisfy all of us. But the problem is that if we do this, it would basically be equivalent to abandoning the Parthians and leaving them to face the Roman force." Xu Shu directly denied this possibility.

Regardless of their position, they would not suffer major losses if they evacuated directly through this method. However, whether facing Parthia or the answer given by the forces behind them, it would probably be an unsatisfactory one.

"That's true." Xi Zhong narrowed his eyes, knowing that this kind of thing should never be done.

When facing a strong enemy on the battlefield, abandoning your teammates and retreating is indeed not a friendly behavior.

If the opponent is too strong and they collapse, that's no big deal, there are plenty of reasons to explain it.

But the problem is that the opponent is too strong to crush them in all aspects. If the goal is to retreat, it is not impossible.

It can be said that abandoning teammates in this situation will seriously damage the credibility of the force.

If it were in the past, Xizhong would basically not care about this. After all, how much is credibility worth?

As long as the benefits gained are great enough, a little reputation is not worth mentioning.

But now it is different. With the Han Empire behind him, doing this is equivalent to severely damaging the political credibility of Cao Cao's forces. For Xi Zhong, this result is absolutely unacceptable.

Cao Cao has already been blamed for many things. If more blame is laid on him, will anyone come to him? Will there be financial support? Can the Han Empire behind him really trust them?
In a sense, even if they all died here, they had to ensure the stability of their power.

What's more, with such a huge gap in strength, as long as the plan is proper, not to mention a safe retreat, even victory is not impossible.

But after all, retreat is the priority, so there is naturally no need to take too many risks.

"Since you all have no objection, then take the Parthian soldiers and retreat together. I will control the changes in the celestial phenomena." Xu Shu looked at everyone present and directly stated what he was going to do.

If he was not surrounded, he would not be able to use his talent for retreat. It would be better for him to use his mental power to control the celestial phenomena and rely on the knowledge taught by his teacher to control and utilize the celestial phenomena.

"In that case, let me plan the retreat route." Looking at Xu Shu's serious face, Xi Zhong replied with the same confidence.

When it comes to military strategy, he is confident that he is as good as others.
