Autumn 516, October 15, around four o'clock in the afternoon.

Listening to Yamazaki's analysis, Midaiko came up with an idea with a wicked smile, and then recalled the golden eagle Nika, tied eight small oil cans to her paws, and released it.

If you want to watch a play, act for me first.

When the Gelong Army slowly approached the other party, the golden eagle Nika dropped the bomb.

Eight small oil canisters fell on the king's tent and the seven surrounding tents one after another, and suddenly a thick smoke rose up, and the fire quickly grew in size and became a sea of fire.

The spectators were choked with tears and embarrassed, showing that they were not in the slightest position.

The fire in the rear suddenly affected the morale of the front, and many people couldn't help but look back.

Golden Eagle Nika flew back to receive the prize, tender beef, and then loaded again and flew away.

Twenty-four wheeled trebuchets, and after three rounds of bombing, the golden eagle Nika set them all on fire.

At this moment, the horn sounded, and King Vandal, in annoyance, ordered an all-out attack.

Yamazaki ordered a retreat, and took his troops to three kilometers away to take advantage of the difference in speed between the cavalry and the infantry, and it would take some time for the hoplites to get on their horses.

When the Gelong army formed up three kilometers away, the other side came to charge.

Charging forward was a regiment of slave cavalry, holding a large wooden shield in one hand and a wooden crossbow in the other.

At this time, there is no mercy to talk about, but to send them to Hades, kill!

They used segmented sprints to attract firepower.

The Gron army fired in sections, and Yamazaki divided the two legions into six sections and two thousand crossbows in a row according to the formation that the golden eagle Nika saw in the sky, so he divided the two legions into six sections and two thousand crossbows.

The training of the Gelong army is a group of 100 people, and a regiment can be divided into 60 groups, which can be combined at will.

The advantage of a crossbow machine is that it can be used by normal people, so it can be effective in a short time.

So, the two sides fired at each other, and the slave cavalry regiment fell in pieces, and none of them broke through, and their crossbow arrows were still some distance from the crossbow cavalry.

After firing the first crossbow bolts, the Gronn army retreated, or rather advanced, because it was facing away from the enemy.

While retreating, on the other hand, on the crossbow string and arrows.

The crossbow string on the alloy crossbow is hand-cranked, and it can be done easily.

And beside them, the second stage is launched, then the third, the fourth, the fifth, the sixth.

At this point, the first stage is in place again, and it is ready to fire the crossbow bolts that have been prepared long ago.

However, the slave cavalry regiment withdrew by itself, did not collect its troops, and scattered in a hurry, losing 2,000 troops, without touching the other side, and its morale fell to a low point, and it did not want to fight at all.

Behind the slave cavalry regiment were heavy cavalry, who hurriedly stopped their horses, and many of them fell off their horses.

"Turn around and fight back!"

"A shot!

"Second shot!"

......

The Gelong army reflexively, under the command of Yamazaki Honjin, also a six-stage attack.

The bolts of the alloy crossbow may not be able to penetrate the thickened shield in the hands of the hoplites.

The strengthened version of the shield is estimated to be tested based on the confiscated alloy crossbow, specifically for the defense of the alloy crossbow.

But the crossbow bolts of the alloy crossbow are still easy to penetrate the horse armor of the heavy cavalry, and it is not so easy for the heavy cavalry without horses to run.

The opponent's heavy cavalry was in disarray, and the rear team simply retreated first without waiting for the order, leaving behind their companions.

The 6th and 7th Legions of Gelong pursued from a distance of 300 paces on both flanks, so as not to be wounded by the crossbows of the enemy who were not dead.

The heavy troops of the Gron, Frow led the slave guards to open the way, which was originally a military army, but rebelled, and those who did not rebel were killed.

The hoplites were chased for a kilometer and a half, and when they were still more than half a kilometer away from the Ostrogothic hoplites who had arrived to meet them, the whole army landed.

Not many people died, but the horses were gone.

The hoplites hurriedly dismounted and formed a wall with a reinforced shield to block the road.

At this time, the golden eagle Nika threw bombs, and all eight oil bombs fell on the hoplite formation, the fire was not much, but it also disintegrated the hoplite formation, and the metal armor transferred heat, which was too hot.

Before a rain of crossbows could be fired, the Ostrogothic hoplites surrendered on the condition that they be ransomed.

I don't trust them, but use them for now, let them take care of the prisoners, the wounded of the Vandal's heavy cavalry and slave regiments, and rest in place.

The Gronn army pursued the fleeing upper echelons of the Vandals, and when they saw that the situation was not good, they immediately fled. ......

On the other side, the 2nd Army of Gelong joined up with the 3rd Army of Gelong, and decided to attack the army group of the Moorish Roman Kingdom because it was relatively close.

There is nothing to occupy in the Hadra region, the city of Hadra is gone, the population is scattered, and the city of Aures in the Ores region is to be occupied in the east, and it is four hundred kilometers away from the original Hadra city.

The Vandal Second Army was supposed to go directly east when it entered the Hadra region, and now they were at least eight hours away from it, and it was too far to catch up.

On the contrary, it is better to go west, and if one person rides more, it will take about five hours to bump into the army group of the Moorish Roman Kingdom. ......

On the other side, City of Aurez.

Yamazaki's letter bird arrives again and delivers a letter with the current situation.

The Vandal Second Army was still about thirty hours away, and the Fifth Wing of the Gronn arrived about twenty hours later.

If the city of Aures wants to help, it will dig trenches to block the horses in the mountain pass at the junction of the Hadera region and the Ores region, defend it with wooden crossbows, and use mobile city defense crossbows to suppress the formation. ......

In the evening, at sunset.

Yamazaki found a suitable place and led the Gelong army to camp and rest, and the upper echelons of Vandal's were all good horses, and they couldn't catch up, so they simply didn't chase them.

Rest, recuperate, and continue the fight tomorrow.

When King Vandal returned, he would probably give an order to mobilize, and the population of the Carthage region and the fortress area of Western Kavinia would be enough to gather fifty legions.

But those who are useless, not hoplites, don't even want to stand in front of the Gron's crossbow cavalry.

It's hard to say that Vandal, in the face of ultra-long-range mounted crossbow cavalry, if you want to find a class that can fight on the frontal battlefield, your head should want to explode, and you can't find it.

Of course, the other party will choose yin, and Yamazaki didn't expect it.

Playing conspiracy, I've seen it on TV, it can be said that it's rotten, but I really haven't encountered it, let alone played it.

This time, I saw it again. ......

October 16, 1 a.m., Wassenice area.

The 2nd and 3rd Legions of Gron, in the moonlight, slowly passed through the forest in fear, and then took a nap before they continued their advance, and before dawn, rushed to the unbuilt forest fortress.

Three mercenaries of the Visigothic kingdom, three regular legions of the Moorish Roman kingdom, two multi-slave legions, having previously lost a part, the army group of the Moorish Roman kingdom resting.

The vigil patrol is naturally the slave legion.

More than 50,000 people, more than 100,000 horses, could not live inside the fortress, and many people built tents outside, or simply slept on the ground.

The army group of the Moorish Roman kingdom did not expect that the second and third armies of Gronn would come back and attack, and they led their horses to approach before charging on their horses.

"Enemy Attack ......"

A heart-rending warning sound caused more than 50,000 people to fry the pot.

At this time, the heavy armor was not on his body, and the enhanced shield was not in his hand, and the camp tent had no defense against the alloy crossbow arrows, let alone sleeping directly in the open air.

The power of the alloy bolts was brought into play, and 9,000 bolts killed and wounded thousands of people at once.

The 2nd and 3rd Legions of Gronn did not target the slave legions who patrolled the vigil, and the main target was the hoplites of the six regular legions.

When the second round of crossbow bolts rained down, the hoplites also picked up their shields to resist.

However, the target was not them, it was the horse, but the horse started running before they could do it.

It would be a shame that Yamazaki woke up Midaiko and asked Midaiko to drive the horse so as not to be killed.

However, there are still a lot of horses that have been killed, and that's because of the lack of communication, but there is no way, I can't say.

And when the army group of the Moorish Roman kingdom recovered from the chaos, they could only accept one reality, they were trapped.

Just like the rebels besieged the Gelon army before, and their situation was even worse, the Gelon army had crossbow arrows.

Either insist on waiting for reinforcements to arrive, or surrender and ransom yourself, which is the only option that can be thought of. ......
