Although the battle situation is constantly tilting, the casualties on the Parthian side are not small, even if they can get a little blessing from this environment that burns the essence of heaven and earth.

But overall, the defenses of both sides have been reduced to historical lows.

In any case, the heavy infantry of the Roman Eagle Legion had a fairly adequate armor, a shield of good quality, a long spear, and three short spears for close combat and spear throwing.

Therefore, although the Sixth Triumph and the Eighth Giant were deceived at first and were not very adaptable to the completely declining environment, they recovered after a while.

Akino and Africanas followed suit and began to launch spear-throwing strikes at some of the Parthian battle formation nodes.

Although they didn't bring enough things, the lethality of these things was still sufficient.

Moreover, as Roman eagle-banner soldiers, their skills in throwing spears and other skills were all on the line, and the Parthian soldiers also fell one by one.

As for the heavy infantry of the barbarians, except for the best ones who have weapons and equipment similar to those of Rome, most of them have an oak shield and a spear with an iron tip. As for other equipment, Rome said that you can solve it yourself.

.

By the way, to be a bit exaggerated, except for the iron spearhead which may have been provided in batches by Rome, the oak shield and other items were most likely made by the barbarians themselves...

Therefore, the barbarians had no other choice but to charge. Precisely because they charged so violently, the number of deaths was even greater.

The meat grinder-like battlefield lasted for a long time, and an army slowly stepped out from the Zagros Mountains.

The visitor is the Fourth Eagle, an elite among the Roman Eagles. The Fourth Eagle was once the main battle legion, capable of attack and defense, pursuit and reconnaissance, frontal confrontation, and guerrilla warfare. It is almost perfectly adapted to all situations on the battlefield.

.

Moreover, it was composed of two legions, the Macedonian Infantry Legion and the Scythian Archer Legion. Together they were very powerful.

But that was in the past, and now the Fourth Eagle Banner can no longer even inherit the title of its own legion, the Fourth Lucky Legion. However, they have no way of inheriting this title now.

It is obviously a legion that is second to none and can compete with the three talented military souls, but due to internal divisions, it cannot even activate the Eagle Flag.

But even so, the Fourth Eagle Banner, which was split into the Macedonian Infantry Legion and the Scythian Archer Legion, was still at the forefront of the Roman legions in terms of combat effectiveness.

Just like the undefeated Trajan, he split into two parts, but his fighting power is still the same.

"Qi, Iachino, Graz, and Africanas are really shameful. They fought as funny as these barbarians!" Filippo, the commander of the Scythian Army, sneered as he looked at the army that was completely suppressed by Parthia.

Filippo was very unhappy to be temporarily transferred to wipe the butt of Iacino and the others, especially when he saw Iacino and his three Eagle Flag Legions usurping the vanguard duty and then beating them horribly, which made him unhappy.

reached the extreme.

"It sounds like you are not a barbarian." The commander of the Macedonian Legion, which is also under the Fourth Eagle Banner Legion, looked at the other party with a sneer, and then pointed at the Scythian archers in front of him who were among the barbarians, "

I saw your people."

"Shut up! Leon, you idiot, are you looking for death?" Filippo, the commander of the Scythian Legion, turned around and roared at the commander of the Macedonian Legion. The traces of Scythian blood on his body could not be erased.

But these people have already been completely Romanized. They are all Roman citizens recognized by Rome. They are the Royal Cavalry of Archers!

Even by the standards of Africanus, Filippo was an absolute Roman citizen.

Scythia is also divided into two parts: east and west. One part is where Filippo and others planned the Roman Empire very early, and the other part is relatively late.

So Filippo and the others were able to reach the Fourth Eagle Banner by relying on their merits and achievements, while the Scythians that Leonardo was referring to were classified as barbarians.

This kind of thing is an issue left over from history, and only people from the Macedonian Legion would talk about it.

After all, the person who knows how to hurt you will always be the person closest to you.

Macedonia and Scythia were almost one legion, but they were divided and mocking each other almost all the time.

What Leonato talked about the most was the problem of the Scythian barbarians, for no other reason than to disgust Firepo.

"Tch, looking for death?" Leon sneered twice with disdain, "I think that if we separate, even if you die, I won't die!"

"Stop talking nonsense, if you don't move forward, you will wait to go to the Senate to be judged!" Veins popped up on Filippo's forehead, and he roared angrily.

This is the reason why the fourth eagle flag split. Scythia and Macedonia in this generation did not like each other.

Especially Leonardo and Filippo, the legion commanders of both sides, were unable to activate the Eagle Flag at all.

Originally, the Roman Senate only wanted to liberate the capabilities of the Fourth Eagle. After all, the biggest problem faced by each generation of the Fourth Eagle was the lack of frontal infantry command.

Once the cavalry began to wander, the infantry in the front row would lack a clear command, so the Roman Senate made up for this shortcoming.

But I didn't expect that after making up for this defect, Macedonia and Scythia split instantly. The snake was not good without a head, but it was even more impossible to grow two heads.

By the time the Senate discovered the problem, the Fourth Eagle Banner had already split. At this time, they could not even undo any of them.

Otherwise, it will turn into the most troublesome political faction issue, coupled with a series of historical issues in Scythia and Macedonia, so the people in the Senate can only endure it.

Penirens had no choice but to split directly or maintain the status quo.

After all, the issue of the ownership of the fourth eagle flag involves not just a tiny bit of power, but thirty-three eagle flags, and even Severus could only allow him to form three legions despite all his efforts.

The full names are the First Army, the Second Army, and the Third Army of the Conquest of Parthia, which occupy the 31st, 32nd, 33rd, and three eagle banners respectively.

The establishment of the top thirty cannot be easily split, and behind every split there is a lot of bloodshed.

That is to say, those from fifteen, sixteen, seventeen, eighteen, nineteen and five are relatively special, and they can only fall into the hands of the church. More importantly, it is because of the need to urgently weaken the number of barbarians.

I originally thought it wouldn't be a big deal, but I didn't expect that the death of St. Peter III would trigger such a troublesome awakening of the barbarians.

As a result, they had to raise troops to attack Parthia, turning Parthia, the best place to kill barbarians, into a one-shot deal.

Leonato was very unhappy, but he also knew that Filippo was telling the truth and that he was dilly-dallying. Filippo definitely did not recommend going to the Senate to interfere with him because he refused to save him and delayed the military plane.

Although it will certainly not lead to a serious crime, it is still an ugly stain.

"A bunch of idiots, show me what a real infantry is!" Leon's voice was deafening, with an extremely ferocious look on his face, the tower shield in his hand hit the ground hard, and he roared.

He had the momentum of a lion.

Along with Leonardo's roar, all the soldiers of the Macedonian Army roared, and the tyrannical momentum directly stunned the barbarians who were overwhelmed by Parthia and were on the verge of collapse.

It also gave a sudden surprise to the anxious Yaqino and others.

The Macedonian legionnaires who followed had a fearless aura with their eyes burning like flames, and they began to advance frontally under the cover of the gun array with neat steps.

"Don't come in!" Iachino shouted urgently, "Elite talents will be suppressed!"

"Idiot! Of course I know!" Leon Naduo didn't pay attention to it at all. Of course he knew that stepping into this barrier would be weakened, but if he didn't step in, how could he fish out idiots like Yaqino.

This powerful and fearless momentum made all the barbarians who were suppressed by Parthians' arrows and spears tremble. This was a shock to the brave.

The barbarian army was originally in panic due to mutual contagion. Faced with the fearless eyes of the Macedonian soldiers, which were like burning flames, they suddenly calmed down. Just as fear can be transmitted, courage can also be transmitted, not to mention that this is the nature of the Macedonian army.

The fearless Macedonian Legion is not afraid of any challenge.

Even if the talent is weakened, courage can still be passed on, because the Macedonian soldiers choose to be fearless not because they are afraid, but because they are truly fearless, so they spontaneously form this talent that is most suitable for them.

"Forward! Forward! Forward!"

Leonardo roared, leading the Macedonian soldiers to press forward like an indestructible mountain.

Babak's expression was heavy. He was worthy of being the fourth eagle of Rome. With such a move, he far surpassed the three eagles of the sixth, seventh and eighth.

Because Macedonia mobilized the morale and status of the surrounding barbarian legions with just a few simple actions. This kind of legion that can move the area from point to point is in line with the positioning of the Roman Eagle Banner Legion.

It's like the flag held high by the Parthian army. Unlike the eagle flag, it has no actual bonus effect at all, but it is still an indispensable thing because it is a symbol that the army needs.

"What a disaster!" Babak's eyes were solemn.

"Omzada! Ahemene! Get ready to retreat!" Babak immediately sent a message to the other two people.

"Yes!" Omzada and Ahemene's hearts trembled, and then they quickly responded to Babak's message.

He clearly had the upper hand, but Babak suddenly said this, and something obviously went wrong.

"All the barbarians are guarding the two wings. Iacino, follow me and charge inside!"

Immediately after stabilizing the barbarian army, Leonardo issued a new order. Regardless of whether the barbarian army was weak in combat effectiveness, the barbarian army must be allowed to stabilize the situation. Only by stabilizing the barbarian army can the flanks of the formation be protected.

The barbarians cannot be allowed to come and join forces from the front, and the barbarians must be driven to both sides. Otherwise, instead of helping them, they will become a stumbling block.

"Filippo!" Leonardo roared to the rear!

"Leonado, does your elite talent only have such a limited range?" Filippo mocked and fired a wave of arrows.

Although the two of them did not get along, their judgments were the same. What Leonardo needed at this time was the support of Arrow Rain.

The bursting rain of arrows instantly suppressed the Parthian archers from lifting their heads.

As a legion comparable to super elites, they are not something that Babak's half-hearted men can fight against. If they really want to compete with Scythia, they must at least let Attolame come over.

For Filippo, who was proficient in battlefield command and mastered various tactics, killing a certain series of soldiers was very helpful in destroying the tactical performance of the large army command.

And their positioning is also the same, with Macedonia facing the line and suppressing it, and Scythia suppressing it with firepower.

In the absence of arrow rain confrontation, the advantage of the Macedonian phalanx is very obvious.

Of course, if the opponent's arrow rain can suppress the arrow rain cover equipped by the Macedonian phalanx, and the opponent's cavalry can go around and penetrate behind, then the Macedonian phalanx will be destroyed almost easily.

Even if this military formation has been improved by the Romans and become more excellent, it cannot cover up the shortcomings left by that almost god-like commander.

Of course, the advantages gained from this obvious disadvantage are also very clear. The frontal combat capability of the Macedonian phalanx is second to none among all formations.

As for fire suppression and flank protection, this is exactly the purpose of the Scythian Archers.

"Hmph! Shut your mouth! Do your job!" Leonato roared, and the golden glow that originally shone on the Macedonian army suddenly strengthened by three points, and the coverage area suddenly expanded by a full circle.

Although it soon began to subside with the burning, it is undeniable that under the leadership of Macedonia, the barbarians were pulled back from the brink of collapse.
