Chapter 2670 Delayed Death

...

Recalling the efforts his family had invested, Sima Yi took a deep breath, then slowly exhaled. A dark light flashed in his eyes, and then he felt much more tired.

It seems that we still have to wait for Vologases V to take action first. As for them, they don't mind a little more time.

The Parthian army and the Han Empire army, which had successfully retreated to the east of the Euphrates River, both spent a smooth night.

However, this night was not so smooth for Ma Chao.

Relying on the army's bravery and the individual's spirit of leading by example and daring to be the first.

Ma Chao, who led the cavalry to attack the Seventh Eagle Flag, was, to some extent, indeed a bit crazy.

Using a long hammer to hit the armor of the heavy infantry legion could easily cause blunt trauma, and the Seventh Eagle Flag's own defense was simply unable to withstand this level of damage.

Before the arrival of Roman reinforcements, the so-called defensive and delaying strategies of the Seventh Eagle Flag did not play a very effective role except for suffering more casualties.

After the losses reached a certain amount, they completely gave up on themselves and chose to attack to regain the glory of the Seventh British Flag.

Under normal circumstances, the combat effectiveness of this kind of explosion with the determination to die is naturally self-evident, and the attack power is terrifyingly strong.

But this had no significant effect on Ma Chao's army.

The extremely responsive Ma Chao Legion, led by Ma Chao, directly avoided the desperate outburst of the Seventh Eagle Flag and took advantage of the weakening period after the outburst to inflict even more horrific damage.

After so many battles back and forth, the remaining number and combat effectiveness of the Seventh Eagle Flag were simply not enough to face the Han Empire Legion and the Parthian Cavalry Legion.

It can be said that if there were no other Roman troops present today, the fate of the Seventh Eagle Flag would most likely be destruction, which would be comparable to the complete annihilation of the Thirteenth Rose Legion.

However, there were indeed other Roman legions present. Even if their movement speed was not fast, as long as they appeared within the field of vision, they could provide support.

Neither Ma Chao's legion nor other Parthian cavalry legions had the ability to stop and delay the Roman army.

So after taking a look at the personnel of the Seventh Eagle Flag, Ma Chao turned his horse around and continued to gallop south with himself and the Parthian cavalry.

Without a pontoon bridge and unable to cross the river on horseback, Ma Chao's army and others could only quickly move south to create a safe distance between each other, and then find a suitable location to cross the Euphrates River.

Faced with the departure of Ma Chao's legion and the Parthian cavalry, Ganasis and Usnafaso did not send troops to pursue them.

For the Roman legions, which had few cavalry units, it was really helpless to pursue such a legion with a significantly higher movement speed.

The normal Ninth Spanish Cavalry Unit, due to its battlefield positioning, did not move very fast and could not catch up with this kind of cavalry unit at all.

Unless you make arrangements in advance and then encircle and intercept them, there is basically no way to deal with this kind of cavalry.

However, Rome did not pay too much attention to this, nor did it think that there would be any problem with having fewer fast-advancing cavalry.

Even if there is no way to perform a quick pursuit, there are other ways to win.

After all, there is no shortage of wars that have to be fought in this world. What's the point of running fast? Sometimes there is no way to run! "Hello, Duke!" Usnafaso saw Ganasis approaching, and with the help of the soldiers beside him, he slowly saluted to show his respect for Ganasis.

Ganasis, who also knew etiquette, did not return the greeting immediately, but glanced at the Seventh Eagle Flag at that time.

Compared to the high spirits when the Seventh Eagle Flag first arrived, the current Seventh Legion is filled with a sense of desolation.

After suffering casualties reaching a certain level, the Seventh Eagle Flag did not lack the will to continue fighting, nor the courage to fight to the death.

Theoretically, if I could always maintain this kind of will and courage, I would definitely not be in the decadent state I am in now.

Thinking of this, Ganasis returned the greeting to Anlianus and asked the reason.

As the Seventh Eagle Flag Legion, even though his internal organs were still emitting pain, Anlianus still told the process of the war, "Duke, we are following the established plan..."

Ganasis, who was listening to Anlianus' explanation, heard the unwillingness and shame in Anlianus' words.

Usnafaso, who was also listening to the entire process, roughly understood the reasons and process.

Whether it is for life and death or to show higher limits, if the power unleashed by the Seventh Eagle Flag can be effectively displayed and guided, it will definitely not be like this now.

The reason why it has turned out like this is that the power after the explosion did not land on the ground, but hit the cotton. The willpower and anger in the heart cannot be vented at all, and even feel more aggrieved and depressed about it.

The gap where only others were beating on them but they could not beat others at all resulted in the legion's morale not only not rising but also declining further.

From this perspective, the generals of the Han Empire Legion were indeed very strong, and not only in tactics, but even morale and people's hearts were taken into consideration.

"They are all outstanding talents..." Recalling the several Han Empire legion commanders he had seen, Usnafaso's words were a little lonely.

Among the people sent by the Han Empire, there are so many talents and heroes, but on their side, it is unknown when they can gather so many young talents.

He stretched out his hands to help Anlianus up, and observing the wounds on his body, Ganasis's face became much heavier.

In particular, some of the soldiers of the Seventh Eagle Flag who were still standing, could no longer hold on as the enemies had gradually gone away, and fell down spitting blood.

Ganasis, who had already guessed this situation, could only watch these soldiers fall.

The blunt force of heavy weapons did not kill the soldier immediately, but it damaged his internal organs.

If your physical fitness or personal strength is not strong enough, there is basically no cure for this kind of attack.

Moreover, unlike the Han Empire which still had a very small number of battlefield medical personnel, such things basically did not exist in the Roman Empire. This could only be achieved if one could successfully walk back to the city.

But now they are not close to the nearest city, and the price they have to pay is...
