...

In fact, after realizing the effect of the Danyang army's buff, Leonardo's first thought was that he did not believe his army would lose.

Everyone has the support of their organization, but those with fearless talent are even more resilient. In this complex situation, what matters is resilience and personal qualities.

The overlapping of these lines of communication would lead to a complex and intertwined battlefront, significantly increasing the actual contact area in combat, involving more people, and resulting in higher casualties on both sides.

Driven by his passion and utterly unafraid of the situation, Leonardo failed to grasp Li Yan's intentions and opted for a direct counterattack, unleashing terrifying power with his shield and spear.

For Li Yan, the current situation was absolutely perfect.

After probing the enemy's military talent, Li Yan knew that conventional head-on confrontations were not very meaningful, at least not in this battle.

In a conventional war, Li Yan would naturally not engage in such risky and adventurous behavior, but would instead choose to fight cautiously and normally.

Without expanding the scope of the war, and by relying on cooperative talents to engage in small-scale battles, Danyang, with the support of his teammates' strength, vision, and other advantages, can gather the strength of the group and is by no means inferior to his opponents.

For Danyang, on the plains during the day, they would not fear any infantry of the same level, even if the opponent's talent was organizational demolition, they would still have a very high chance of winning.

Unfortunately, this war was clearly special, and Li Yan, the commander of Danyang, was well aware of this.

In most war scenarios, Danyang, relying on its organizational strength, can achieve a high win rate even without a commander, thanks to its past experience and teamwork.

However, this war requires observation and execution from a higher perspective.

And this is something that Li Yan is capable of doing, and is good at doing.

As the legion commander of the elite troops of Danyang, Li Yan can do more than just give his soldiers a legion talent that enhances their organizational abilities.

"Launch an attack! Cripple them out!" After observing the battle at the front lines of the Danyang elite troops and seeing one U-shaped gap after another, Li Yan's expression turned serious as he quickly issued the order.

The Macedonian legions were strong, but the truly powerful force was not Macedonians, but the massive Roman army behind them.

From the perspective of the entire central army, after gaining a slight understanding of the talents of the two heavy infantry units behind Macedonia, Li Yan realized that these two heavy infantry units were not ordinary heavy infantry, but infantry units with equally powerful frontal attack capabilities.

The main battlefront consists of a powerful yet resilient legion, flanked by two heavy infantry units skilled in attack, and backed by cavalry archers with a suppressive effect. If Li Yan still doesn't understand Rome's intentions, he's not qualified to be a legion commander.

Although he didn't understand why the Macedonian legions were advancing recklessly alone, Li Yan naturally wouldn't let such a good opportunity slip by. Rather than waiting to be suppressed by the enemy's horse archers and then attacked by three violent heavy infantry units, it would be better to deliberately expose a weakness, disable the enemy's strongest force first, and then create a stalemate.

This was also the point at which the Fourth Legion broke down. Li Yan directly instructed the Jiangdong Archer Legion to begin a sweep of the Scythian Royal Horse Archers Legion, even at the cost of exposing their strength and attack positions.

Upon receiving this notification, Lü Meng realized Li Yan's intentions and, without hesitation, chose to carry them out.

Unleashing the full power of the legion's talent, this power envelops the soldiers' arrows, giving them the effect of splitting clouds into strikes. With continuous splitting, a single volley can achieve the attack power of ten volleys. Of course, both the power and accuracy will be affected.

In order to thoroughly clear the area and reduce the probability of being countered by enemy arrows, Lü Meng directly ordered his soldiers to use split arrows to further increase the number of attacks.

His talent, combined with the split arrows, produces an effect that is absolutely no less powerful than the cloud arrows that clear the ground, and can be deadly to regular soldiers.

While the Scythian royal horse archers were indeed elite, this elite force was horse archers, and in terms of defense, they were not much better than regular soldiers!
The effect of a full-force charge and shot was that the sky above the central army was covered with arrows.

A single salvo can reach hundreds of thousands of units, creating a visual impact that seems to cover the entire sky, giving the feeling of dark clouds looming over the city.

As for Filippo, he chose to hide behind his horse rather than ride away from the shooting area or take cover on the spot.

The arrows don't take long to fall to the ground, and leading the entire legion away within that timeframe is something even horse archers would find difficult to do.

As for free evasion, with arrows almost forming a wall as they fall simultaneously, how can one dodge them? Therefore, the best method is to use the horse to evade. This is also the best way for cavalry archers to counter another type of archer.

Using horses to obtain temporary cover, although costly, ultimately allows soldiers to survive and gain the strength to fight back.

Arrows that strike by splitting are unlikely to penetrate a horse's body, let alone injure soldiers hiding behind it.

However, thanks to their sheer numbers, they still managed to wound quite a few Scythian royal horse archers, since not everyone was capable of hooking themselves to the side of their horse and using the horse's entire body to avoid arrows.

After confirming that their attack had been successful, Li Yan waved his hand, signaling the Danyang elite troops who were already prepared to begin clearing out the Macedonian legion soldiers in each U-shaped gap.

With the help of their comrades behind them, the Danyang soldiers easily drew their ten-stone bows, locked onto their targets using the vision of their comrades at the front, and predicted the actions of the Macedonian soldiers.

Just as the Macedonian soldiers were about to sheathe their spears and launch a spear attack or shield bash, the Danyang soldiers released their bowstrings. The distinctive sound carried the arrows past the Danyang soldiers in front of them, striking them directly at the very moment the Macedonian army launched its attack, with virtually no visibility.

The impact of that attack was quite significant. The arrows fired from the ten-stone bow possessed enough power and penetrating force to forcefully repel a heavy infantryman, and even without a shield, they could pierce through the Macedonian's armor, exposing the arrowheads to the soldiers behind him.
