God Three Group Chat: Three Kingdoms

...

Before he could think for long, the sound of horses' hooves coming from behind, the orderly sound, reached Ardashir's ears.

Ardashir, who had lived and trained with horses since childhood, was naturally familiar with this sound.

However, this orderly and synchronized movement still greatly impressed Ardashir.

Keep in mind that this is cavalry, not infantry. Compared to the uniformity of infantry, cavalry's ability to achieve this is significantly more terrifying and better reflects the opponent's physical fitness and combat skills.

The sheer awe and wonder of the Miracle Legion's cavalry, especially since they were cavalry within the Roman Empire, was something Ardashir I would never forget.

"Damn, they're actually chasing us! Their horsemanship is even better than ours. If they catch up, we're doomed." Ma Chao, who had also heard this voice, turned around and looked back, his words filled with emotion.

Having grown accustomed to the heavy infantry and various types of infantry in the Roman Empire's army, each person has a different understanding of the Roman cavalry.

However, compared to the Ninth Spanish Army, this army was clearly stronger and more well-rounded.

If you have an advantage in some aspects, you might be able to put up a fight, but if the opponent is strong in all aspects, it means that the suppression of them will be stronger and more ruthless.

Being all-around often means being all-around incapable, but if you can truly be all-around, then your combat power will be among the top in your class.

"Tell Grandpa I've disappointed him." After hearing Ma Chao's words, Ardashir was silent for a moment, then said with a serious expression, "Don't worry, I'll definitely buy you some time."

As a general, Ardashir knew very well what saying those words meant, but he still chose to say them without hesitation and was prepared to carry them out.

The attack and operation were originally proposed by the Parthians. The Han Empire simply chose to assist them from the sidelines because they didn't trust them. Although the assisting forces were already quite strong, they couldn't withstand the superior power of Rome.

Ardashir didn't see any problem with making certain choices or bearing certain consequences.

Moreover, as the grandson of Farssasan, he should shoulder his responsibilities and obligations.

In this situation, by choosing to let their allies retreat, they can gain even more allies.

From the perspective of the nation, this is arguably the most correct course of action.

From a personal standpoint, this behavior is not so friendly. After all, the other side is the Miracle Legion, and they are no match for them. Even if they are prepared to die, they can probably only delay for a while.

As for abandoning national interests and choosing personal survival, that's indeed very simple: just split up and run away.

Of the six cavalry units present, whether they were Parthian Rangers or Burning Cavalry, they were essentially a variant of light cavalry. Being lightly armed and unburdened, their speed was naturally not slow.

As for Xu Huang and Wei Yan, their positions were already relatively far back, and thanks to the Legion talent, their troops' speed was actually not slow. The Tenth Knight Legion, being a fully armored legion, would only have a moderate marching speed unless they significantly expended stamina to warp reality and increase their movement speed.

However, the troublesome thing is Ma Chao. Ma Chao's army is also a fully equipped cavalry corps, but compared to the Tenth Army Corps, its speed is really not fast.

The Tenth Legion also has a way to increase movement speed, while Ma Chao's Legion talent does not increase movement speed.

It can be said that the 10th Eagle Banner Legion is fully capable and powerful enough to catch up with Ma Chao's Legion and then completely wipe them out.

If a group of imperial guards were wiped out in the Han Empire, but those who accompanied them did not suffer major casualties, how would the Han Empire help them afterwards?
Although it's hard to admit, that's the reality. They are now completely dependent on the Han Empire as an ally. Without the Han Empire, they would be severely lacking in terms of top-tier power.

Putting everything else aside, Ardashir couldn't think of any way to stop or block this Miracle Legion alone.

Even if we use a large army to surround the enemy, we probably still won't be able to defeat them, especially since the enemy also has a large army. If we encounter them, we will definitely lose, because they can't take them down or stop their momentum.

Therefore, under these circumstances, Ardashir chose to protect his ally and continue their alliance.

Upon hearing this, Ma Chao was initially taken aback. Then, turning to look at Ardashir's serious and earnest expression, which showed no sign of joking, he realized that the other party was serious.

"I was just joking earlier. It's not like we can't get out of here. Besides, with us here, how could we let you cover our retreat? Follow us and learn properly!" Ma Chao chuckled lightly, easing the serious atmosphere. Then, his face was full of confidence, and his words carried a hint of seriousness and approval.

For Ma Chao, someone who would cover the retreat for his brothers was definitely someone he could respect. Moreover, he had already respected him before, and now he could only say that he respected him even more.

“Your army is not as fast as theirs, we will be caught up sooner or later, and then…” Ardashir felt comforted and warmed, but then he still spoke of the current reality and became even more determined in his heart.

"Don't worry, not all of us who came this time are generals!" Ma Chao said, turning to look at Xu Huang in the distance, revealing his trust and approval.

The current situation is one of the futures described by Xu Huang. Although it is only a general direction, Ma Chao believes that the other party has the ability and will definitely be able to lead them out of their predicament.

"Aren't they all generals?" Upon hearing this, Ardashir pictured Sima Yi in his mind, then shook his head.

Even the wisest minds cannot solve their current predicament, since their current situation is entirely caused by the difference in strength. If the difference in strength between the two sides cannot be changed, then this problem will continue to exist.

"It seems to be better than I expected. The only force truly pursuing us is this Eagle Legion." Xu Huang glanced back at the Roman army's flags, and after confirming that no other flags had appeared, a smile appeared on his lips.

Using the flour thrown by Ma Chao's army to create a smoke screen, although they failed to intercept the 10th Legion, they at least managed to stop the massive barbarian army and prevent them from following up.

Although the barbarian cavalry is not very strong, it would be quite troublesome if they were entangled by the barbarian light cavalry.

However, it seems there's still a possibility of achieving the tactical objectives! (End of Chapter)
