Benito didn't have many ways to deal with the Xiliang cavalry, but coordinating the army to block them shouldn't be a problem.

On the one hand, the army under its command is large in number and has sufficient reserve forces for coordination and deployment. Even if it is relatively weak in terms of combat power and cannot effectively break through the defenses of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, it has no problem building a battle line.

On the other hand, the movement speed of the Xiliang cavalry was indeed relatively slow, even slower than that of some light infantry, which gave Benito ample time to respond.

"Although the Xiliang Iron Cavalry's attack is mainly based on breakthroughs, its speed of killing is essentially dependent on its own combat power. As long as the front-line soldiers do not collapse, the enemy's advance speed is actually not fast..." He pulled out two Hesha heavy infantry units in front of him and transferred them directly to Benito on the right flank to quickly command and dispatch them, while explaining the reasons for his dispatch.

Once the first line of defense can be established, and the Xiliang cavalry completely breaks through it, the subsequent defensive lines can also be built. At that point, the Xiliang cavalry's attacks will be no threat.

Even if they cannot stop the enemy's attack, they can still significantly reduce the speed of the Xiliang cavalry's advance.

"In other words, even if they intend to launch a surprise attack on us, it would take them an extremely long time to actually reach us?" Kirby stroked his chin, as if he understood Benito's thoughts and judgment.

"Block and slow down the Xiliang Iron Cavalry's advance, then accelerate the attack on the Padia army. Before the Xiliang Iron Cavalry can reach us, completely crush the Padia army. Then we can withdraw our troops, surround the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, and have the opportunity to annihilate them..." Looking at the current battlefield, Benito estimated the trend of the battlefield and thought about how to deal with the Xiliang Iron Cavalry.

As long as everything develops as he envisions, they will naturally be able to break through the Xiliang cavalry once they have surrounded them.

Whether it's changing your legion's talent to Burn, which would burn the Xiliang Iron Cavalry's defensive talent and give all units the ability to shatter the Xiliang Iron Cavalry's attack, or changing your legion's talent to Suppression, which would suppress the Xiliang Iron Cavalry's defensive talent...

There are many ways to counter this. As long as the Parthian army can be defeated and our own legion can be freed up to fight against the Xiliang cavalry, there will be no problem.

"In that case, I'll speed up the attack!" After understanding Benito's plan, Kirby abandoned his previous ideas and plans and directly ordered his troops to go all out in the battle to break through the Parthian army's defenses, so that the surrounding troops could attack more effectively and penetrate the Parthian defenses more easily.

Kirby's army, who have been playing with illusionary soldiers for years, instantly increased their attack speed and power after making up their minds. With a faster frequency, better attack time, and stronger area control, they quickly broke through and disrupted Parthia's defenses, creating a better deterrent effect.

"Are we going all out now? It was a trap all along." Feeling the pressure on the front lines increase dramatically, Farssasan's face didn't show any heaviness of pressure; instead, she seemed much more relaxed.

Being able to anticipate the opponent's thoughts and discover their weaknesses means that the opponent's strength and command ability are indeed not superior to his, which also means that they are not completely suppressed.

While discovering these things couldn't mask the overall decline on the front lines in terms of military strength, it certainly provided some reassurance, and most importantly, it stabilized those around them. Atlatomé's elite cavalry was not only a formidable fighting force, but also a possibility—a possibility for the Parthian Empire to continue its legacy.

For the Parthian Empire, the Military Soul Legion is the most important and needed legion. The most important aspect of the Military Soul Legion comes from the sublimation of will and the miracle of willpower.

In Farssasan's view, the Atlatomei Legion's fighting spirit and mentality far surpassed those of other legions. Their willpower was indeed outstanding, making them the legion with the best willpower among all the legions and the most likely to cross that threshold.

It is precisely because of this importance that Atlastomé's mindset and thoughts are something that Farssasan pays close attention to and guides.

If the legion fails to advance due to the general's own will, misunderstandings, and pressures, then the loss will be significant.

As Farssasan had imagined, after observing this scene, Atlastome came to accept everything Farssasan had said and gradually embraced Farssasan's ideas.

It wasn't out of fear of sacrifice, injury, or death, but because the empire needed them to exist and needed them to shoulder the burden.

“Our allies have launched an attack, so we must strengthen our defenses.” After surveying the battlefield, Farssasan directly ordered the troops behind him to begin a deep defense, creating a wider defensive depth to strengthen the defense and increase maneuverability.

Farssasan, who was very familiar with the fighting capabilities of his own army, knew very well that launching an attack under these circumstances would be tantamount to suicide. Only by holding back the Roman offensive could he better protect his allies.

Choosing to execute a defensive strategy puts less pressure on soldiers, making it less likely for them to break down mentally and causing a slower decline in morale. This also helps them maintain their organizational capacity and respond to orders.

If they choose to attack, but the attack is quickly thwarted, it will not only affect morale and organization, but may also lead to a counterattack. In that case, the soldiers will collapse at the first touch, and there will be no chance of recovery.

Without them delaying the Roman barbarian army on their side, the current momentum of the Han army will be directly disrupted, and both the Parthian and Han Empire armies will likely suffer heavy losses.

As far as the troops on the battlefield are concerned, even if the Parthian army is completely wiped out, it is still within the acceptable range for the Parthian Empire. Although it will be a major blow, it will not be a complete loss of life.

However, if the Han Empire's army were to be completely annihilated or suffer heavy losses, Farssasan could hardly imagine whether the subsequent cooperation would still exist.

The Parthian Empire, even with all its resources, couldn't muster so many elite troops, only to lose them on the battlefield. What would be the consequences...? (End of Chapter)
