Chapter 894: The Thirteen Eagle Flags Slashed
"Feel the wrath of Parthia!"
Ardashir roared and killed the Thirteen Roses soldiers in front of him with one sword.
Two guards plus three double talents, working together to burn is the defensive talent concept among the Thirteen Roses' elite talents, and they directly stripped off the Thirteen Roses' hard outer shell.
After losing their innate defense, the Holy Fallen Knights were able to withstand the resistance of the Thirteen Roses and began to continuously kill the Thirteen Roses' soldiers.
Many Roman city guardians were horrified and rushed forward to help the Thirteen Roses evacuate, but it was too late.
Parthia used all its national strength to plot against the Thirteen Roses. If the Thirteen Roses could evacuate at the first time, perhaps they could have left their seeds behind. But when the Thirteen Roses chose to proudly give Parthia an invincible back, everything was doomed.
Ten people with internal energy who had been waiting for a long time rushed out, leading the Undead Guards and Undead King Riders, cutting through the Roman Barbarian Army's assembly regardless of losses, and then directly cutting off the last chance of life of the Thirteen Roses.
The next moment when Gillia was advancing triumphantly, the Thirteen Roses Legion had already fallen into the abyss. Ganasis, who was far away, closed his eyes in despair. He could no longer bear to witness the destruction of the Thirteen Roses.
The hatred between the two sides for more than a hundred years, the hatred of being stationed in Judea and setting foot in the Parthian capital several times, and the powerless Parthia for more than a hundred years finally showed its due fangs this time.
"All hands attack, the Thirteen Roses are about to be destroyed, charge the entire army, break the eagle flag of the Thirteenth Legion, and let the Romans lose this legion that makes them proud forever!"
At the moment when the Thirteen Roses were surrounded, the voice of Fars Sassan was instantly heard on the battlefield. There was an unprecedented excitement in his voice. Even with his state of mind, he could not remain calm at this moment.
The Thirteen Roses are not only a powerful legion of the Praetorian Guard, but also a flag, a flag representing Caesar's relics, and also representing Parthia's greatest enemy for more than a hundred years, symbolizing Rome that has oppressed Parthia for more than a hundred years.
And now, they, Parthia, are finally going to flatten this mountain completely, and the veteran general Fars Sassanid is suppressing the madness in his heart.
He had to remain calm, because his goal was never just the Thirteen Roses, but the entire Eastern Roman Empire.
Annihilating the Thirteen Roses was only the first step. His real goal was to strike a blow to the morale of the Roman barbarian army and then drive Rome back from the east in one fell swoop.
He didn't tell anyone about his plan because he knew no one would believe him.
Even his grandson only wanted to use the corpse of Thirteen Roses as nourishment to make further progress.
The Thirteen Roses Legion was almost the jewel of the Roman legions. It was almost unstoppable on both offense and defense. It had won one victory after another from its establishment to the present. Even Ardashir could not imagine annihilating such a legion.
In their minds, destruction meant only crippling the Thirteen Roses and forcing them to withdraw from the stage of history for a dozen years.
And what he, Fars Sassan, wanted was to completely and thoroughly destroy the Thirteen Roses, directly break the eagle flag, smash the eagle emblem, and make the Thirteen Roses withdraw from the stage of history forever.
The Roman legions can be reproduced, but without their exclusive eagle flags and eagle emblems, unless Caesar is resurrected, the Thirteen Roses will be completely in name only.
In fact, when he saw the Second Trajan, he felt a little desperate, because with the Second Trajan, the probability of the Thirteen Roses escaping increased by 10%.
But as things turned out, the Second Trajan and the Han army fought to the death, and the last hope of survival for the Thirteen Roses was completely cut off.
You know, total annihilation is very rare. In world history, there are very few legions that have been completely annihilated.
When fighting against the Huns, Li Ling's lone army was surrounded and annihilated by the Huns' main force. They fought until they ran out of ammunition and food and were exhausted. In the end, more than a hundred people still rushed out.
If Fars Sassanid had called for the annihilation of the Thirteen Rose Legions and the breaking of the eagle flag of the Thirteen Legions earlier, I am afraid that no one in Parthia would have had any confidence.
They were confident that they could win, but they definitely didn't have the confidence to do so to this extent.
However, now, the Thirteen Roses had their iron bodies stripped off, and were trapped in absolute encirclement. Fars Sassan shouted out his thoughts without reservation.
When all the Parthian soldiers heard Fars Sassan's hoarse roar, they paused for an inexplicable moment and then launched a mad attack on the enemy in front of them.
They have endured for so many years using spears, scimitars and their bodies. Today they are going to turn the tables and completely destroy the pride of the Romans.
The Barbarian Legion fell into chaos, the Thirteen Roses soldiers fell one after another, and the other Eagle Flags were far away in the sky. Their opponents were like crazy, and they felt fear from the bottom of their hearts.
"Go in and rescue them! Gillia can die, but the eagle flag of the Thirteen Roses must not fall!" Ganasis shouted coldly. This was no longer an ordinary problem. The Thirteen Roses must not be wiped out.
When Ganasis thought of the various political positions represented by the Thirteen Roses and the glory of Rome, his scalp tingled. The Thirteen Roses Eagle Flag must not be broken.
Without saying anything more, Ganasis directly formed the Eagle Flag Legion into a sharp blade, and the Citizen Legion followed closely behind , determined to preserve the seeds of the Thirteen Roses at all costs.
At this moment, Ganasis had already given up hope of rescuing the Thirteen Roses. He only hoped to rescue the Eagle Flag.
"Hehe, you still want to save people now? Pass my military order to cut off their marching route. Even if the sniper legion is completely wiped out, you must block the Romans halfway!" Fars Sassan laughed like an eagle.
"Today, I will let you watch your pride being broken right here!"
"This road is blocked!" Kirkuk sneered. A series of Parthian generals including Nihawin, Turanshah, and Hafza also led their legions to block the Romans' advance.
Ganasis looked coldly at the Parthian Legion in front of him. They were all elite soldiers, and their leaders all had internal energy leaving their bodies. It was obvious at a glance that they were the absolute elite of Parthia.
But there is no point in saying anything now, Thirteen Roses must be saved.
Without any extra words, Ganasis fully unleashed his talents and rushed towards the Parthians who were sniping at them from the front like a torrent of steel.
Unfortunately, this time, Parthia was truly like a solid wall of steel, and it managed to hold on with its powerful attack.
"What a joke! How can I let you pass? Kill them!" Kirkuk deployed his defensive stance and looked coldly at the charging Roman army. Anger was written all over his eyes. The hatred between the two sides could only end with the death of one side.
The complete annihilation of the Thirteen Roses was the best proof of Parthia's turnaround.
"Rome is going to lose... That legion is finished. Even if they save it, they can only save the seeds. The outcome of this war is no longer in doubt!"
Li Shimin murmured to himself, what a super elite army, and that’s it, it’s all over, witnessed by them with their own eyes, and by everyone on the battlefield.
"It's hopeless. If the Romans insist on charging forward, then by the time Parthia is free, these legions will be doomed!" Jiang Wei sighed. He couldn't believe it. This was the empire that had been beaten to its capital.
In Huo Qubing's memory, Parthia was once weak, but now it seems that the situation has changed. There must have been various inside stories at that time.
"Get ready. Since we have already promised Parthia, let's get ready to take action!" Zhang Liao shook his head and led the wolf cavalry to advance towards the Roman flank.
"That heavy infantry corps is dead!" Gao Lan said silently, and began to reorganize the soldiers with Zhang He.
Based on his experience, the Thirteenth Legion was completely hopeless. Unless the Han Dynasty turned against them, Rome's current situation would make it impossible to save it, and they would easily get themselves involved.
Cao Ang looked at the armies mixed together in the distance, and his heart was filled with excitement. This was the first time he had experienced a war involving such an elite army.
Whether it was the enemy or the friendly forces, he was so shocked that he didn't know how to describe it.
"Zhongmou, you don't seem too surprised?" Liu Chan looked at Sun Quan beside him strangely. He was very surprised that when everyone was shocked, Sun Quan had a sneer on his face.
"Don't make a fuss. If you had seen those perverts on the battlefield in Japan, you would know what a strong army is. These legions are still far from it." Sun Quan said with a sneer.
He seemed a little intimidated before, but when the real purpose was revealed, Sun Quan was a little disappointed.
Mobilizing such a large army just to annihilate a legion was really petty. Every time the Han Dynasty dispatched a large army, it was to destroy the country. Even if Sun Quan did not participate in the battle against Cecilian, he also felt that Parthia was petty.
The crazy and bloody battle made Ganasis sober up a little, and he soon realized the sinister intentions of Fars Sassanid.
"...Retreat!" Ganasis almost covered his heart as he said this.
The Second Trajan was tightly entangled. Without this powerful spearhead, it would be a fantasy for them to save the Thirteen Roses from the Parthian army.
Moreover, the barbarians' hesitation was almost obvious. If the fighting continued, not only the Thirteen Roses, but also the other Eagle Flag Legions would probably die here.
Following Ganasis' order, all the legions returned along the original route. The Sixth Triumphal Legion blocked the path with its solid body, leaving no chance for the Parthian side.
In the center of the battlefield, as Rome withdrew, the barbarian troops surrounding the Thirteen Roses realized that the situation was hopeless, their morale collapsed, and they began to resist passively, or even surrendered on the spot.
"Let's go!" Ardashir laughed wildly, nailed Gillia to the ground with a gun, then cut off the thirteen eagle flags with a knife and took the eagle emblem in his hand.
Even though Gillia was nailed to the ground, he did not give up at all, and Ardashir showed him the final respect by piercing his heart with a spear.
He was still fighting at the moment before his death. This was the will of the Thirteen Rose Legion.
Unfortunately, facing the conspiracy of an empire, a single legion has no chance of turning the tables, and not everyone can be called the Marquis of Champion.
The entire Thirteen Rose Legion fought until the very last moment, and no one surrendered, which formed a stark contrast to the barbarians around them who were kneeling on the ground begging for mercy.
In fact, if it was the Han Dynasty that captured the Thirteen Roses, then Giulia would definitely take the lead in surrendering, because Rome did not prohibit surrender and would even pay money to redeem people.
However, if the target is Parthia, then only a fight to the death can gain the final glory.
"Hahaha, the Eagle Emblem, the Eagle Emblem of the Thirteen Roses!" Fars Sassan almost choked with tears as he looked at the Eagle Emblem that Ardashir gave him.
"Break it!"
After the ecstasy, Fars Sassan did not hesitate at all. He drew out his sword and cut off the eagle emblem with one blow.
At this moment, all the Parthian soldiers felt as if inexplicable shackles were being chopped off, and for a moment the momentum of the entire army became completely different.
Zhuge Liang also noticed .
"Great victory in Longcheng!" Zhuge Liang's pupils shrank slightly . The changes in Parthia almost instantly reminded him of one of the most important events in the history of the Han Dynasty.
The small victory at that time shattered the Huns' undefeated reputation, and now Parthia has done the same thing by destroying the eagle emblem.
"So this is the meaning? We have underestimated Parthia!" Lu Su sighed. He had the same opinion as Sun Quan before, but now he just put the Han Dynasty back in perspective and instantly understood the essence of this war.
The gains were meaningless to Parthia. The real purpose of this war was to completely shatter the shadow of Rome in Parthia's heart.
"It's also a reminder for us. Without the strength of the Military Soul Legion, it's better for us to stick together. Not sticking together means the possibility of being annihilated, even for a legion with extremely high survivability!" Zhuge Liang turned around and said to everyone.
Everyone present was shocked when they heard this. The facts were before them, and they clearly realized the consequences of not sticking together.
Naturally, no one dared to joke about something like life and death. They saw such a terrible war in the first battle. The super elite heavy infantry corps was wiped out without even a single seed left. They died so many that they could not die anymore. It was truly a horror.
War comes and goes quickly. After chasing for dozens of miles, the Parthian army chose to call off the battle. Ahead was the second line of defense set up by Rome.
If they were entangled and waited for the defeated troops to rest, they would be the ones to suffer. It would be better to quit while the going is good and wait for good news from Vogelges V on the other side.
The Han Dynasty also fought a favorable battle and gained a lot, killing nearly 7,000 barbarians and capturing more than 1,000 people.
"Generals, Commander Fars invites you to come for a meeting!" When Zhuge Liang and others were cleaning up the battlefield they had created, the messenger also notified Zhuge Liang and others to come for a meeting.
"Let's go and see what the Parthians are going to do next. I don't believe they will let go of such a good opportunity." Zhuge Liang said with a faint smile.
