God Three Group Chat: Three Kingdoms

...

The front lines collapsed even faster than Konmi had imagined.

The demigod led the Legion of Souls, cutting through the Roman cavalry like a knife through tofu, penetrating directly into the heart of the Roman cavalry, as if entering an empty field.

The stomp effect caused by the Youzhou heavy cavalry further destroyed the cavalry's organizational capacity and its important formation.

The Bingzhou wolf cavalry, who followed closely behind in the attack, demonstrated excellent ability to suppress their opponents from all directions.

Seeing this kind of cooperation from Konimi, he instantly fell into despair.

The combined legion soldiers, who were originally mixed in with the army and were supposed to play a significant role, failed to demonstrate the backbone capabilities they should have. Like the barbarian soldiers around them, they were killed and driven away at will.

As for switching talents, it's completely useless. When facing Lu Bu's Trapped Camp, any talent counters are nonsense.

Having been taught that even a lion uses its full strength to hunt a rabbit, Lü Bu could fully unleash his legionary talents on the entire Trapped Camp, allowing them to shine and suppress any opponent with power surpassing the world's limits.

However, Lu Bu did not do that at all, nor did he want to. His opponent was simply too weak, so weak that he couldn't even muster much interest in fighting.

As for the experts hidden within the Roman army, they were easily knocked unconscious or sent flying with a few blows; I had no interest in them whatsoever.

However, this lack of interest also meant that the entire legion's breakthrough speed was basically equal to its normal marching speed. Although this situation is common for cavalry units, it also reflects the difference in strength between the two sides.

"General Gongsun, do not exterminate them..." Seeing the rapid breakthrough of his allies, Xu Huang instantly thought of the follow-up measures and hurriedly used a secret technique to transmit his voice to Gongsun Zan.

The Trapped Camp quickly broke through, the Youzhou heavy cavalry split the battle line, the Bingzhou wolf cavalry completely scattered the enemy, and the White Horse Cavalry, which came last, ensured that not a single enemy soldier would desert.

It can be said that the current situation is fully capable of realizing this future, a future in which no Roman soldier can escape.

But this future should not have happened, or should not have happened at this time.

It wouldn't be a problem if the Romans realized this, but if the Parthians did, things would be really troublesome.

If we invest too much effort, what will Parthia think? Won't all their previous efforts be wasted?

As for their confrontation with the Romans, it demonstrated their strength and also allowed them to express their stance.

Everyone has their own trump cards and their own strengths, and only those with strength are qualified to sit at the table and negotiate.

Gongsun Zan glanced back at the direction Xu Huang was in, then at the Roman army in front of him. After hesitating for a moment, he changed the banner, put the straight sword he had been carrying back on his horse, and ordered the entire legion to continue using shortbows to drive them away. At the same time, he gave orders to the rear to have the army retreat.

Ardashir, who had just deployed his formation and hadn't even had time to prepare to continue fighting, received orders to continue retreating, leaving them somewhat puzzled.

However, remembering the pursuing Roman infantry, he provided cover for Xu Huang and Wei Yan as they remounted, and then joined the continued retreat. Lu Bu and his men, who had originally planned to advance further, also expanded their battle lines and reduced their depth under orders.

Therefore, the Roman barbarian legions, having suffered heavy casualties in a short period of time, collapsed immediately.

The already exhausted army, which had marched a long way, was only keeping up with the momentum of victory. As a result, it not only failed to win, but was also dealt a heavy blow in a short period of time, and the army collapsed directly.

Without any concealment or even prior notice, they began their escape.

Seeing the enemy troops begin to flee, Gongsun Zan did not plan to pursue them. Instead, he regrouped his troops and began to retreat along the predetermined route.

"They collapsed before they could even wipe out a single legion. Their fighting spirit is hardly that of an elite force. They're not even as good as the barbarians..." Gongsun Zan said with a hint of disdain as he watched the Roman army flee.

Upon hearing this, Gongsun Yue smiled and didn't take it to heart.

In the past, the nomadic peoples of the grasslands, when faced with the White Horse Cavalry of equal size, were absolutely able to obey orders and be fully prepared for battle.

Even if they suffer 20% or more casualties, they will maintain their formation. In this respect, the Hu people are indeed much better than the army in front of them.

However, the main reason why the Hu people were able to do this was probably because they had a high level of understanding of the White Horse Cavalry.

The fear of the White Horse Cavalry was no less than the fear of death.

Those Hu people who couldn't prepare for battle would surely die facing the White Horse Cavalry. Those Hu people who could prepare for battle and form a circular formation might have a chance of survival, though not a great one.

Cornimi, who was retreating with his remaining troops, soon encountered pursuing Roman infantry.

Seeing Cornimi's defeat, the Roman infantry did not have the intention to continue the pursuit for a short time, and eventually reported the course of the war and its outcome back to the rear.

"Damn it, is the Han Empire really crazy? They still have so many elite troops. They must have something big planned by waiting in comfort..." Benito made no attempt to hide his malice as he reprimanded the Han Empire's actions.

Others had differing opinions on Benito's remarks, with both supporters and opponents.

Waiting for the enemy to tire themselves out makes it easy for a weaker army to defeat a stronger one. There's nothing inherently wrong with this method, but if you're not the one who falls for it, it's certainly not a good time to complain.

“Even if they were well-rested and waiting for the enemy to tire themselves out, the fact that they were able to defeat our cavalry in such a short time suggests that they are indeed elite. However, the fact that they did not pursue and wipe them out further suggests that the Han Empire may have some ulterior motives…” Perennis, who was extremely skilled in tactics, immediately formed his own judgment after hearing the entire course and outcome of the war.

Given that the Han Empire's army consisted entirely of cavalry, their defeat and complete lack of organization made it impossible for them to suffer such losses in a truly fierce battle against the enemy.
Let alone losing less than two legions, if a full-scale pursuit were to take place, anyone who survives even half a legion would be considered incredibly lucky.

After all, the Han Empire's army also had auxiliary legions that could increase movement speed and slow down the enemy's march, and it also had a large number of light cavalry units.

Without strong enough organization, it would be a miracle if the Roman cavalry could escape, especially if the enemy didn't hold back. (End of Chapter)
