Chapter 2658 The Great Parthia
...
With this in mind, Anlianus, out of caution, only used his full talent to attack when the two armies were extremely close.
Even though the attack was launched a little late, the corners of the army were hit by Ma Chao's army, resulting in some collisions and casualties.
However, the subsequent counterattack by the Seventh Eagle Flag also took away many soldiers of Ma Chao's legion and killed many horses.
This brief confrontation not only demonstrated the strong qualities and courage of both sides, but also enabled them to have a deeper understanding of each other.
After charging through, Ma Chao turned his horse around and launched an attack towards another corner without any disguise.
And Anlianus didn't even have the right to refuse, and could only stimulate his talent to fight back once again.
It can be said that under this kind of attack and counterattack, many people on both sides fell down.
However, Ma Chao didn't care at all. After each charge, he would quickly change direction and start the next charge.
The target chosen is never the front of the Loyalist Legion, but every corner on the edge. They must be suppressed and cut off continuously even at the cost of casualties among the soldiers.
Thanks to the heavy infantry's equipment, in the first few battles, the casualties of the Loyalist Legion were smaller than those of Ma Chao's Legion.
However, Ma Chao's expression did not change at all and he continued to attack.
However, Anlianus, who had a clear advantage in the casualties ratio, looked unhappy and increasingly indifferent.
As the outbreak continues, each outbreak takes longer and longer, and the power of the outbreak is gradually decreasing.
This talent effect, which has long been familiar, is enough to be fatal under such circumstances.
When the explosive attack power and offensive begin to decrease, the temptation to the enemy will become stronger and stronger.
When the killing lion shows signs of fatigue, the watching hyenas will also show their fangs and share the food.
Especially when he saw that the Parthian cavalry units were no longer obsessed with attacking the auxiliary legion and had withdrawn some of their strength to use long-range means to suppress the loyal legion, Anlianus knew that things were going to be troublesome.
If he doesn't explode, he won't be able to do anything to the opponent with his normal strength, but if he explodes, it will accelerate his death to some extent.
Of course, it will take a long time to reach the point of complete destruction. Even for this kind of explosive talent, with such long-term training and inheritance, it can actually be used for a long time.
As long as they could withstand the rising number of casualties, Anlianus felt that the Loyalists would be able to hold on.
Everything changed only when the Parthian Lancer General Iskakes gave up targeting the auxiliary corps and came to the rear of the Seventh Eagle Flag.
Looking around, they were basically his opponents, and the direction Anlianus was observing naturally had a corresponding focus.
The most targeted and important direction is naturally Ma Chao's direction, at least that's what Anlianus thinks.
The cavalry of the Han Empire was indeed extremely powerful and worthy of much attention and preparation. However, Iskak, who was loyal to Vologases V, naturally also had the idea of being loyal to the emperor and serving the country.
There was no way before, but after attending that meeting, Iskak also knew the best way to weaken the Roman Empire. At least from his perspective, this was the only way he could see.
Completely annihilate the Eagle Legion of the Roman Empire, destroy the opponent's foundation, weaken the opponent's vitality, and make the country's future smoother.
This is also the reason why Iskak chose agile cavalry, which focuses on speed and relies on absolute speed to greatly increase the lethality of cavalry. To a certain extent, once they start charging, they will definitely die.
There is no defense, no force dissipation, and no other recovery talents. When the spear hits the enemy, the recoil force of the combination of man and horse will probably kill the soldier.
But Iskak didn't care about it. As long as they could achieve their goal, the price they paid was nothing.
"The Seventh Eagle Flag of Rome is indeed dazzling..." Iskak thought about the Thirteen Rose Eagle Flags in his memory, and then looked at the Seventh Eagle Flag which was similar to it, and his words were full of calmness.
The other two Parthian generals, who understood Iskac's intentions, did not stop Iskac's actions.
Iskak, who volunteered to take on the task of stopping the Seventh Loyalist Legion, had a similar awareness from the beginning.
In other words, I had this awareness from the moment I joined the army.
As they all pledged allegiance to Vologases V, they naturally treated this country in the same manner. It was just that some left early and some left late, but in the end they all ended up in the same place. What was there to be afraid of?
Then, before Ma Chao's army attacked, the Parthian horse archers compressed the distance to within fifty steps and directly began suppressing shooting at close range. Even when they were counterattacked, they did not dodge or leave.
Not long after, Ma Chao's army rushed forward and attacked the loyal army at a slightly larger angle.
Anlianus, who had been focusing on Ma Chao's army, also noticed that the opponent's attack angle was wrong this time. Instead of being surprised, he was delighted and shouted loudly, "Stop the opponent and kill him!"
Only by intercepting the cavalry and slowing down its speed can they have a chance of winning. Otherwise, they will definitely fail in this kind of grinding knife-like consumption.
Through multiple small-angle cuts, the Loyalist Legion gradually formed a semicircle to deal with cuts and tears at various angles.
However, when Anlianus encountered the high-speed galloping cavalry in this formation, especially the sound of the galloping horses, his pupils contracted on the spot when he looked back.
Facing this kind of lightly armed and fast-moving lancers, it would be difficult to quickly mobilize troops and provide timely defense unless sufficient preparations were made from the beginning.
After all, how long would it take for the high-speed lancers to cross just a few miles?
In this time, who can change the army from a semicircle to a flat oval, and reverse the overall angle by ninety degrees?
Being able to do this means that the distance moved by some soldiers is basically equivalent to half the distance of a cavalry charge.
This does not include the time wasted by generals conveying orders, soldiers repeating orders, and the army changing its deployment.
"There has never been an absolute restraint between cavalry and heavy infantry, even if we are just light cavalry..." Holding the four-meter-long spear tightly in both hands and looking at the enemy getting closer and closer, the smile on Iskak's face became more and more excited.
Great Parthia...
