...

However, this incredibly powerful legion, despite having two legion commanders, only had one eagle banner.

Neither of the two legion commanders had given up on this eagle banner; both hoped to become the sole decision-maker for the entire legion, thereby making the battle process and command smoother and more efficient.

However, although both sides had the same idea, the final results were completely different. In one case, the Scythian archers obeyed the Macedonian army, and in the other case, the Macedonian army obeyed the Scythian archers.

These are two very simple and straightforward choices, yet neither of them wants to give up this idea, much less this opportunity.

This situation was particularly unacceptable to Filippo, the commander of the Scythian Legion.

As the West Asian legions, equipped with horses, possessed faster movement speed, higher load capacity, and longer continuous combat capability, they naturally had higher priority than the Macedonian legions and were the optimal choice for commanding the Macedonian legions.

The Scythian archer legions, responsible for a range of tasks including attack, pursuit, and reconnaissance, were clearly much stronger than the Macedonian legions, which could only defend and fight head-on.

"Leonardo, maintain the defensive line and stop advancing!" Filippo frowned as he watched the Macedonian legion commander Leonardo continue his advance, and finally shouted the order without hesitation.

With their formidable long-range sustained attack capabilities, the Scythian archers were able to launch attacks that covered almost everyone in the central army of the Han Empire.

It can be said that without any interference, Filippo, with his Scythian archers, could completely crush the entire central army of the Han Empire. He had both the confidence and the capability to do so.

However, this is only based on the premise that no one interferes.

The Scythian archers, who were carrying out their attacks and providing cover as usual, quickly created a huge gap in the front of the battlefield, and Leonardo's fearless Macedonian legion advanced in that direction without hesitation.

The spear and shield in one's hands can be not only the most powerful weapons, but also the strongest shields.

On the contrary, it was precisely by attacking this huge gap that a certain defensive vacuum appeared in front of the Scythian archers.

Seizing the opportunity, Li Yan deduced the possible area of ​​the enemy based on the direction and starting and ending positions of the arrows fired by the Scythian archers. He then ordered the Jiangdong archers to counterattack and continuously retreated his troops, allowing the enemy to close in directly.

Faced with the elite archers of the Han Empire, Filippo could only curse and do his best to maintain his troops, allowing them to continue their offensive, harass, or even eliminate Lü Meng.

Leonardo, who was already fired up and had been leading the charge, didn't even notice that his army and the archer legion had separated again. But it was good that they were separated, as it helped him to calm down.

Fortunately, the Triumph Legion and the Thunder Legion, which were also attacking in the central army, realized that something was wrong and sent a part of their troops to assist Filippo's Scythian Archer Legion.

It was thanks to the protection of these soldiers that the Scythian archers were able to continue to recover their combat capabilities and relentlessly wear down and attack the Han Empire's army.

"Damn Han Empire army, where did all these arrows come from? Do they really have that many archer legions? And Leonardo is still attacking!" Filippo, who had just sprung from his horse, looked at the two friendly legions rapidly approaching, his words filled with anger. But his anger didn't last long, as Filippo looked down and saw the arrows stuck in his horse.

Fortunately, the arrow wasn't too deep and wouldn't endanger the horse's life. However, the arrow was rather unusual. Filippo glanced at it but didn't immediately make a judgment based on the arrow's tail. Instead, he pulled it out, ignoring the horse's screams. Looking at the much smaller arrow, he seemed to understand the opponent's attack method in a daze.

Upon reaching their designated positions, the Scythian archers immediately began their long-range attacks. However, before they could even unleash a few volleys, they were met with a counterattack from the elite archers of the Han Empire. The sight of arrows scattering across the sky, turning a single arrow into more than ten, was enough to demonstrate its awe-inspiring nature.

It can be said that within just a few breaths, the Scythian archer legion suffered tens of thousands of split arrows.

Fortunately, the Scythian archers were essentially horse archers, and they carried a fair amount of equipment. Although they had less armor, the number of wounded was not high thanks to their horses.

So much so that after this blow, the officers and generals of the Sixth Triumph and the Twelfth Thunder, who were in command at the front line, all diverted a portion of their troops to protect the Scythian archers.

This was especially true for Marche of the Thunder Legion.

As long as the fourth lucky one still exists, and as long as the Scythian archer legion still exists, then the targets of the Han Empire's arrows will naturally be the Scythian archer legion, and the probability of them being hit will decrease.

In any case, the Thunderbolt Legion is a heavy infantry force that counters heavy infantry. Even just relying on their armor, they can provide considerable defensive capabilities.

It's only a fairly good defensive capability, but it's never been a Wailing Wall.

None of the Legion's talents are related to defense.

It can be said that among the legions of the central army, apart from the Scythian Archer Legion, the legion with the weakest defensive capabilities is the Lightning Thrower Legion.

After sending a portion of his troops to assist, Marche began to regroup his forces and prepare for the next offensive position.

A hasty and forceful attack might lead to failure, but we cannot delay making a decision either, since this is a battlefield and hesitation will only cause trouble for others.

Without the Macedonian legions, Marche imagined that the likely outcome would be that the Triumphant Legion would take over the Macedonian legions' position and serve as a temporary protective force for the Scythian archers.

However, even the Sixth Triumphant Legion would probably not agree to continue doing this.

Meanwhile, the conflict between the two legions of the fourth lucky one was keenly noticed by Sima Yi, who had been watching the battlefield closely. Recalling the intelligence he had previously obtained, he then targeted the legion's weaknesses and temperament, and launched a fierce attack to force one or more of the opposing legions to leave the battlefield so that they could retreat more easily.

"The battle isn't over yet, but their intentions have already been revealed. How interesting." Severus, who also recognized the problem with the central army, didn't continue steer the conversation in that direction. Instead, he tried to persuade those involved… (End of Chapter)
