God Three Group Chat: Three Kingdoms

...

As long as one is human, one experiences fear; even well-trained soldiers are no exception.

As Padia lancers were trained specifically to deal with special situations, they were already mentally prepared for such situations from the very beginning of their training.

Anyone looking at their own weapons and equipment—a long spear, a warhorse that can run, and clothing with virtually zero protection—should be mentally prepared.

However, even with all that, there will still be corresponding mental pressure when it comes to actually achieving all of this on the battlefield.

However, under the influence of the spirit of the civil officials of the Han Empire, the extremely low visibility of the night did not bring too many restrictions, and even became an aid.

The inability to see the enemy may bring a sense of unknown fear, but it can also breed the fearlessness of the ignorant.

We don't know who's ahead, how strong the enemy is, or what we're waiting for. We just need to grip our spears tightly, follow our comrades, and charge forward.

No matter what kind of opponent or enemy they are, it doesn't matter!

"No!" Seeing the Padia lancers growing larger at a visible speed without any deviation in direction, Munnix's face no longer showed indifference and arrogance, but only a trace of fear.

"Padia, who has been in decline for so long, has actually managed to regain some composure. Not bad, very good!" Severus, who could also see this situation, praised his enemy and unusually acknowledged Patia.

However, while acknowledging the importance of this, the command and control of the battlefield cannot be neglected.

Having assessed the destructive potential of this massive lancer force, Severus began directing his army to prepare for the chaos that would follow.

Instead of thinking about how to break up this lancer unit, or how to deal with what was about to happen, he was thinking about how to deal with the situation after it was about to happen.

The orderly charge of lancers may seem a bit old-fashioned, but that doesn't mean it's useless.

With courage and sufficient order, a lancer charge is enough to face the vast majority of legions and the vast majority of enemies.

Even if the spear fails to pierce the enemy, the galloping hooves will crush one enemy after another.

With sufficient numbers and sufficient depth, any legion that stands in the way of a cavalry charge is committing suicide.

It's just that there might be differences due to differences in strength.

The noble cavalry, precisely because of this, is fundamentally different from the infantry.

As long as one holds the corresponding belief, the will to fight, and embraces the charge, the cavalry's own charge and lances are enough to bring about a deadly killing effect.

Noble cavalry, when they are prepared, are capable of exchanging blows with their opponents, and doing so quickly within a short period of time.

A charge without skill does not mean weakness. When the scale is large enough, the opponent is no longer important; they are merely obstacles and slowing objects on the road.

Seeing Benito charging like this, one could say his expression wasn't much better. The soldiers of the Combined Legion were distributed throughout the entire army, naturally including those of the Munix Legion and those in the surrounding area.

On the one hand, it was to transmit orders and information and strengthen information transmission capabilities; on the other hand, it was also to appease the Roman barbarian legions and convey a sense of solidarity.

After all, the Roman barbarian legions were also human beings, capable of thought, not truly mindless.

Although some people may be blinded by the huge profits in front of them, there will always be some cautious people who will notice something not so good.

In this situation, the soldiers of the combined legion will greatly suppress such sentiments, conveying the message that the behavior is normal, just a normal order from the Empire, rather than being treated as cannon fodder.

Of course, even if they were used as cannon fodder, the barbarian legions wouldn't care. As long as everything promised by the Roman Empire could be fulfilled, they could turn a blind eye to being used as cannon fodder.

After all, being used as cannon fodder doesn't necessarily mean you'll become cannon fodder. There's still a chance you'll survive. If you don't survive and can't become a Roman citizen, it just means you're unlucky.

As for those who survived, met the promotion requirements, and became Roman citizens, would they still support their former comrades-in-arms? Would they support those who were once part of the cannon fodder legion?
It can be said that a considerable number of soldiers from the 14th Legion also gathered in the direction in which the Padia Lancers were charging.

The soldiers of the combined legion are all veterans, skilled in using their combat talents and abilities, identifying their opponents' talents, and then switching to the corresponding counter talents to fight, thus becoming almost invincible among their peers.

However, even with such outrageous abilities, they were basically useless against the charging Padia lancers.

Whether it's the ability to eliminate enemy soldiers with ranged attacks before they are attacked, the ability to parry and counter-attack during an attack, or the ability to close in and kill to seize a horse, etc.

The efficient and orderly methods demonstrated an overwhelming advantage over the enemy, but were they effective?

It's useless. Killing one or even several lancers is of no use to the charging lancers. Anyone or any army blocking their path is like trying to stop an unstoppable torrent.

Fortunately, the damage and corpses still had a slowing effect, so the first wave of Padia lancers only charged a few dozen meters before being forcibly stopped and losing their charging speed.

Once they lose their charging speed, the Padia lancers are less effective at fighting than even a single infantryman from the barbarian legion.

At least the barbarian legions still had their own helmets and armor, possessing a certain level of protection. Against the Padia lancers who had lost speed and control, they could kill them quickly and effectively.

For a moment, the barbarian legion's gaze toward the Padia lancers was no longer filled with fear and dread, but with greed.

The military merits and achievements that could be earned through military service were simply there, and all one had to do was charge forward to gain the hope of becoming a citizen, which truly aroused people's desires.

The first wave of Padia lancers, already suffering heavy losses from collisions during their charge, were not only unable to maintain their formation, but also lacked the ramming power to continue their assault.

For the barbarian legions, killing such opponents is even easier than killing Parthian infantry.

However, before the barbarian legions could begin slaughtering the remnants of the first wave of Padia lancers, the second wave of Padia lancers charged in through the gap that had been opened. (End of Chapter)
