Chapter 2661: Cannot Lose the Flag
...
The Seventh Eagle Flag led by Anlianus was directly pierced through by the cavalry led by Ma Chao, leaving behind a field of thorns and a broken passage.
The officers of the Fifth Skylark who were observing not far away suddenly changed their expressions when they saw this situation, and quickly passed the information back.
If the transmission had been slower, they might have been missing an eagle flag today, or a single-digit number of the country's famous eagle flags.
You have to know that the Roman Empire had been established for hundreds of years and had never lost even a single-digit number of eagle flags. The most terrifying loss was the Thirteen Roses that were lost some time ago.
The consequence of losing Rose is that we are still in the war and have not yet settled the matter. Only after the war is over will the settlement be made based on the actions during the war.
If another Seventh Eagle Flag is lost, the legion commanders of the entire Roman eastern province will probably have to go to the military court. As for whether they can survive intact, the result is completely unpredictable.
The damn Han Empire cavalry suddenly burst out with such power that it really caught people off guard.
On the front battlefield, Usnafaso, who was trying hard to attack, relied on the first-mover advantage and keen insight into the battlefield, combined with his own strength, to forcefully fight against Shapur and Fars Sassanid.
It can be said that after fighting for so long, Usnafaso also knows that these two are not simple characters, and humans are definitely not inferior to themselves.
In this situation, it feels really good to be one against two and still be able to suppress the opponent in terms of strength.
Even if the Seventh Eagle Flag is not in place, for Usna Faso it will just mean that they have fewer ways to attack.
As for the embarrassing situation faced by the Seventh Eagle Flag, it is not a big deal in the eyes of Usna Faso.
Anyway, the Seventh Eagle Flag is already in this state, so we might as well take this opportunity to train it well, hone the army and soldiers, and see if we can develop the flag talent of the Seventh Eagle Flag.
As long as the heavy infantrymen surrounded by several cavalrymen hold their ground, the situation will at most be a little ugly, but there will be no fatal problems at all.
Of course, just in case, Usnafaso still dispatched one or two auxiliary troops to provide support and share the opponent's pressure on the periphery, so as to prevent the Seventh Eagle Flag from being unable to bear it and doing the same stupid thing as the Thirteen Rose Legion.
If you hold on, you will win. If you launch an attack, you will be seeking death.
It can be said that after solving the problem with the Seventh Eagle Flag, Usnafaso became more skilled and methodical in both attack and suppression. He suppressed the Parthian army's activity space and combat area step by step, and pushed forward forcefully with the idea of driving the enemy directly into the river.
As long as we can drive the enemy into the river, they will be so tired and exhausted that they won't even have the strength to resist. At that time, any long-range attack will be able to make them pay a heavy price.
As for the floating bridge, it is impossible for so many people to evacuate in a short period of time. If everyone rushes onto the floating bridge, it will be impossible to evacuate successfully except for trampling each other.
Usna Faso, holding the momentum of future victory and firmly believing that he can succeed, saw Palmiro approaching with a very ugly face. His original excitement was suppressed and he returned to his previous calm look.
The fact that Palmiro could deliver the information in such a manner could only mean that the information was definitely not good news, and the bad news coming at this time was really bad.
"Something happened to the Seventh Eagle Flag?" Seeing Palmiro coming over to deliver the message, Ganasis directly expressed his guess. The current battle situation had long been judged and speculated by Nawili and others, and the pace of the battle was basically the same.
The only thing that could truly be called an accident was the Seventh Eagle Flag not arriving in time.
It can be said that after the destruction of the Thirteen Rose Legion, Ganashishi had a deeper understanding of human stupidity.
Although I don't quite believe that Anlianus is capable of doing such a thing, sometimes reality will shatter all delusions.
"Yes, Duke. The Seventh Eagle Flag Legion was breached by the desperate charge of the Parthian cavalry, and then pierced through the center by the Han Empire's armor-piercing cavalry..." Palmiro tried to express the danger that the Seventh Eagle Flag Legion encountered in as brief words as possible.
"Armor-piercing cavalry?" When Usnafaso heard these words, he turned his head to look at the armored cavalry with lances who were still standing there, then frowned.
Although I have never seen this kind of weapon after commanding the army for so many years, I can roughly guess its function and positioning. As for whether it is effective, I am not sure.
"The nature is different. The enemy is cavalry using long hammers. They are very strong in both speed and strength. This is very dangerous for the Loyalist Legion..." Palmiro explained all the information conveyed by the soldiers and emphasized the danger.
Unlike the sharp armor-piercing power of the lance, long hammer-type weapons are basically blunt strikes, with completely different effects.
Facing a purely blunt attack, without a sufficiently strong and excellent means of relieving the force, one would basically be courting death.
Unfortunately, the Seventh Eagle Flag has no similar means at all, or in other words, on the current battlefield, very few legions use this long hammer weapon, which is extremely physically demanding and has great limitations.
But it is also undeniable that this weapon is extremely effective against heavily armored targets.
"Duke...this..." Usnafaso turned his head and looked at Ganasis. He was unable to make a decision in an instant and could only wait for the real person in charge to make the decision.
As long as they don't go to rescue, according to the strength of the opponent and the current situation, there is a high probability that they will not have the chance to see Anlianus again.
But if they sent troops to rescue, the reinforcements they sent alone would not be able to withdraw the Seventh Eagle Flag from such an enemy.
You must know that in order to ensure the advantage on the battlefield and execute the final plan, most of the mobile forces that can be mobilized have been deployed on the battlefield. The only unit that was not deployed on the battlefield is the Duke's Guard. Although they are elite, the Duke's position, which is responsible for assisting and suppressing, has no way to deal with such cavalry units.
Once elite troops are withdrawn from the battlefield to provide support, it means that the offensive on the battlefield will slow down, and even because of the retreat, it is likely to cause a chain reaction and fail.
On one side is a stable victory, and on the other side is a high probability. If Ganasis is a bit more of a gambler, he might not be unable to give it a try.
Unfortunately, Ganasis could not do this and could only shake his head calmly. "Facing Parthia, we can win at any time, but the flag of the Loyalist Legion must not be lost from our hands..."
