For Xu Huang, once the goal was identified, he began to make arrangements and plans for that goal, while other things could be postponed.

Xu Huang was very clear about the difference between what was important and what was urgent.

Choosing the direction of the Parthian army was the optimal solution after considering multiple perspectives.

On the one hand, although the Roman army in this area was large in number, its quality was far inferior to that of the opponents faced by the Han Empire. This meant that it would be much easier for them to break through this part of the army.

On the other hand, it was also due to Ardashir, or rather, the right choice made under the overall strategic perspective.

Although on the surface the Han Empire was stronger among their five legions, and theoretically the weak should submit to the strong, Ardashir should naturally obey their commands and arrangements, this was only in theory, not in reality.

Everyone in reality has feelings and their own thoughts, and these feelings and thoughts will not change because of the strength of one's power.

Which person who has reached their level doesn't have their own stance?
Moreover, the commander of the Parthian army was Ardashir's grandfather, Farssasan, a true relative.

Whether it was out of filial piety or loyalty, Ardashir's choice of the direction where Parthia was located was justifiable, and perhaps even necessary.

Given this precondition and difficulty, Xu Huang naturally wouldn't ignore it and forcibly lead his army to attack the right wing of the Roman Empire.

Doing so would not only sow the seeds of discord in Ardashir's heart and weaken their relationship, but also affect Sima Yi's overall plans in Parthia.

In addition, there is the most realistic and troublesome point: even if all five legions go all out, they may not be able to break through the rear of Rome's right flank.

If this goal is unlikely to be achieved, then naturally you should choose a slightly better one.

Judging from all angles and directions, Xu Huang believed that Parthia was the best direction.

After speaking, Xu Huang glanced at Ardashir out of the corner of his eye to check on his condition before looking away.

Judging from the results he observed, Ardashir seemed to be less stressed and silent than before, and appeared more relaxed. From this perspective, Ardashir was quite happy with his current choice.

In this way, Xu Huang knew that his judgment was correct.

Although this will not effectively alleviate the pressure on the elite troops of the Han Empire in the short term, it will be relieved sooner or later as long as their mission goes smoothly.

Prioritizing the rescue of Parthian troops, regardless of whether it is the optimal solution on the battlefield at this time, will inevitably gain the approval and mindset of the Parthian army.

Furthermore, during this rescue operation, Ardashir and his Parthian cavalry will undoubtedly go all out, and their combat effectiveness will be enhanced.

Of course, this is a judgment made from the perspective of the nation and the battlefield. For Xu Huang and others, their choice to do so was also partly motivated by gratitude. They participated in the attack on the Roman army's large camp in the west, and even encountered the Roman Tenth Knight. However, during the final retreat, the losses suffered by the Han Empire's army were not actually severe. The real damage came from Ardashir's cavalry legion.

In just two engagements, they lost over 1500 men; it could be said that 30% of their strength was wiped out.

So whether it's to repay a favor or to make the right choice on the battlefield, as long as it solves the current predicament, it's not a loss for Xu Huang at all.

"In that case, I'll be the vanguard!" After seeing Xu Huang confirm the main attack direction, Ardashir stepped forward and took the lead without waiting for Ma Chao and Wei Yan to speak.

Although the legion's numbers have fallen below 4000, under the current circumstances, even if there were no one else, Ardashir would still take on this task without hesitation.

For no other reason than that he was a Parthian, the grandson of the Farssasans, and that was enough.

If even he is unwilling to step forward and act as a vanguard, then how can we expect others to save Parthia?

Ardashir doesn't even think about saving himself, relying entirely on others. He doesn't see this as a good thing, nor does he think it's the right choice.

“Mengqi, since General Ardashir has already said so, then I’ll trouble you to back him up.” Although Xu Huang was satisfied with Ardashir’s answer, there were still some things that needed to be handled carefully so that the other party could understand his attitude and the attitude of the Han Empire.

"I will obey the general's orders!" Although he was not very intelligent, Ma Chao was still a person who obeyed military orders. After sensing the atmosphere, he directly clasped his hands in salute and replied.

"Thank you!" Ardashir, who was very clear about the situation of the Han Empire's troops, nodded seriously.

Having Ma Chao lead his cavalry to follow behind him and advance along his route was already a great help.

As for Xu Huang and Wei Yan's legions, Ardashir was well aware of their weaknesses. He knew that these two legions were not particularly strong in cavalry, and that if they were to charge into battle alongside them, they might just be swallowed up by the vast Roman army.

Even if they can hold out for a while with their strong and elite strength, what good will it do?
"Let's go!" Xu Huang patted Ma Chao on the shoulder, pointed directly ahead, and calmly commanded.

Seeing this, Ardashir led the Parthian legions and began to advance gradually!

In this situation, Xu Huang and Wei Yan, who should have stayed where they were, did not stop, but instead followed Ardashir and his cavalry for quite some distance.

"We're close enough now. If we keep getting closer, the clouds will probably collide directly, and we'll be exposed even if we don't want to." Xu Huang looked up and saw that the clouds hadn't yet intersected with the Roman army's clouds, so the chances of being discovered would be lower.

"Thank you!" Ardashir was well aware of Xu Huang and Wei Yan's idea of ​​moving the army forward, and understood their plans.

Xu Huang, who possessed atmospheric deflection and interference capabilities, forcibly moved the army forward to further amplify the effect of this deflection on everyone, reducing the probability of the Romans discovering them and delaying their discovery.

Under such intervention, the time Ardashir would have taken to reach the point of attack, and the methods of resistance he would have faced from the Romans, would have been completely different. (End of Chapter)
