...

He wouldn't let the other party take advantage of him in the same way if he did so himself; in this respect, Vincenzo was quite reliable.

With the power of miracles to unleash speed, they are not lacking in speed. Even if they are outpaced for a while, they can still catch up quickly.

Conversely, under their watchful eyes, the allied forces of the Han Empire and Parthia found it much more difficult to retreat.

Thinking of this, Vincenzo immediately ordered his soldiers to resupply on the spot, quickly replenishing their food in front of numerous enemy troops, so as to restore their strength and stamina.

Anyway, the pontoon bridge in the middle is only so wide, so let the other side come and charge at it if they dare.

Since the enemy dared not charge, they took this time to recover their strength. As for the Allied forces daring to take advantage of this standoff to recover their strength, then Vincenzo dared to lead his troops to charge forward and interrupt their recovery.

It can be said that overwhelming the opponent's strength brings the initiative and deterrent power on the battlefield, allowing one to continuously accumulate advantages and ultimately lay the foundation for victory on the battlefield.

And the reality was pretty much as Vincenzo had imagined. Whether it was Xu Huang, Wei Yan, or Parthia's Ardashir, in the face of this situation, besides strengthening security, they could only have the soldiers in the rear camp replenish their food and thus their strength.

The soldiers left on the front line could only keep a close eye on the Roman army to prevent the Romans from taking advantage of the opportunity to launch an attack or cross the pontoon bridge directly.

"Why don't we destroy the pontoon bridge while they haven't chosen to charge?" Wei Yan took some brown sugar from his chest and put it in his mouth. He stared intently at the pontoon bridge on the river, hesitated for a moment, and then voiced his idea.

In the current situation, destroying the bridge after crossing it seems to be the most hopeful and likely way to escape the pursuit. As long as the pontoon bridge can be destroyed, they will have enough time to leave.

“Under normal circumstances, destroying the pontoon bridge is indeed the best option, at least until the other side demonstrates their ability to cross the river. This method is quite good.” Xu Huang, who did not directly refuse, praised and appreciated the idea from another perspective.

However, neither Wei Yan nor Ardashir looked very pleased with such praise.

An army capable of traversing rivers was indeed a rare sight before; we had only heard of it, and had rarely actually seen it.

However, in this war in Mesopotamia, or rather, in the past year or two, both sides have seen each other many times.

Whether it was the Flying Bear Army of the Han Empire, the fourteen legions of the Roman Empire, or the floating talent that Rome trained for barbarians in order to carry out a full-scale invasion and harassment, they all possessed the ability to walk on water.

However, the former two are very reliable in combat, while the barbarian legion's combat strength is close to that of an ordinary soldier.

But precisely because of this precedent, even Ardashir dared not gamble on whether the other party actually had such capabilities.

After all, the strength and imposing presence displayed by the Roman army proved that they were indeed a miracle legion, a legion capable of distorting reality with sheer willpower to achieve their goals. For such a legion, was walking on water truly impossible?

The idea only flashed through his mind briefly before Ardashir completely abandoned it.

It's better to be safe than sorry. If the Roman legions really did have such capabilities, then they would be in serious trouble.

It was precisely because of this deterrence and threat that the allied forces could only watch the pontoon bridge on the river exist, without expending a large number of troops and soldiers to dismantle it, and certainly not giving the enemy any opportunity to take advantage of it.

After maintaining a stalemate for a period of time and confirming that Ma Chao's army was gradually moving away, Xu Huang led his troops to quickly leave to the north.

Not long after the army left, Vincenzo regrouped his troops, preparing to continue the pursuit and eliminate this opponent and the hidden risk.

However, Vincenzo had just organized his army and was preparing to demonstrate his strength during the pursuit after they had eaten and drunk their fill, so that the enemy would understand what kind of person they had messed with and thus gain corresponding merit and prestige, making the other Roman legions keep their distance.

"Report to the camp commander, an urgent report has come from the rear camp!" Before he could even set off, Vincenzo, who was still in place, received intelligence information from the experts in the rear.

Vincenzo glanced at the messenger, who appeared to be a skilled member of the barbarian legion, possessing considerable strength, but compared to the regular Roman army, the gap was simply too obvious.

"An urgent report has come from the main camp, but I don't know how urgent it is." Vincenzo shook his head slightly, and then began to listen to this so-called urgent report from the main camp.

"Reporting to the camp commander, not long after you left, the camp was attacked by arrows from the north. These arrows were not fast, but they contained oil and would ignite upon contact..." The expert who was explaining the situation to Vincenzo had dark circles under his eyes, his beard was burned off, and even his most prized hair was now just a few short hairs.

It's fair to say that after experiencing that kind of fire, this expert was left with some psychological trauma.

Faced with the arrows attacking from afar, he and the other experts in the camp issued warnings and advice, and quickly informed everyone, including the commander of the Tenth Legion, Knight Officer Virgilio.

However, the arrows were relatively slow, lacking the high speed of normal arrows, and appeared somewhat weak and ineffective, significantly reducing the alert level.

In addition, there was the flour dust tornado that enveloped the entire camp, which greatly affected the eyesight and vision of the people in the camp. It could be said that what you could see with the naked eye was either yellow sand or white flour dust, which made people feel that they didn't know whether to eat it or not.

However, the reality was beyond the expectations of the many experts in Rome. The arrows fell from the sky and made no sound when they hit the ground and walls, but after half a second to a second, they started to blaze again, a flame that was difficult to extinguish with normal water.

Although they weren't all eliminated immediately, the numerous gliding arrows, despite their relatively low accuracy, still landed within the general area of ​​the camp. Their distribution was quite wide and their numbers were substantial, so much so that after creating a mushroom cloud in the sky, the burning speed not only didn't slow down, but actually accelerated… (End of Chapter)
