Li Dao, Guo Yan and others led the troops to pursue not very quickly, their single-shot crossbows have been wound, just waiting to concentrate firepower, after so many years, they have done this only a few times, but the vanguard of the empire is not something that can be withdrew.

The crossbow bolts of the strong crossbow were pressed, the three three-foot short spears were well backed, the charging arrows were replaced with Dawan Liangju, draped in Ma Kai, and took the super spear that was a foot long, and all the others were replaced with spears for charging, and then equipped with spare horse chopping knives and machetes for melee harvesting.

It can be said that this is the most well-equipped time since Li Dao followed Dong Zhuo, except for the time when he beat Liangzhou Haoqiang Beigong Boyu and Bian Zhang, but thinking about that time, that time may be a rare defeat for the iron cavalry.

Similarly, Li Dao and the others also put on a whole body of armor for themselves, and put on two layers, because this time they were the ones who were the leaders, and unfortunately, if you only talk about combat effectiveness, they are not very good.

The speed of Xiliang's iron cavalry is not very fast, but after all, it is a man and three horses, and it is much faster than the short legs of the Roman infantry, and it didn't take much time to see the black line on the horizon.

In the same way, the Roman scouts also saw the cavalry on the horizon surging at a speed that was neither fast nor slow, not the wildness of the storm, but the sense of power that neatly pushed made the Romans feel that the waves were rolling over.

After the scouts reported the news to Ganassis, the entire Roman army came to a halt, and unlike the ordinary Roman legions, the infantry of the Roman legions of Ganassis were all experienced and well-equipped middle-aged soldiers, and there were also veterans who had participated in a large number of wars and assisted the command.

Under the step-by-step passing of these people. Before Li Dao rushed to the Roman legion, the entire legion was ready for battle.

Rows of spears were spliced together in a continuous array of guns. All the heavy infantry outside, coldly looking at the iron cavalry charging towards them. It was as if a big war was about to break out.

Li Dao and the others are not fools, after seeing the uniform movements of the Roman infantry, they knew that this battle was not easy to fight, this kind of infantry that could automatically find their position without the command of others, the last time they saw it was when they were in the Pingxi Liang Rebellion with Tao Qian.

But since it is a vanguard, even if there are hard bones, it needs to be gnawed, Li Wei stopped a mile away with the leading heavy cavalry, Guo Yan and Fan Chou fought out from behind Li Dao with a heart, and went around the Roman soldiers' military formation left and right, and did not attack.

Almost at the same time, the Roman soldiers were under the command of the veterans behind them. All of them lowered their bodies and pressed down with their spears, shrinking their formations and preparing for defense.

At this time, Li Wei no longer looked at the dispatch of the Romans from the perspective of the enemy, but remembered every move of Rome from the perspective of a recorder, and he would record every point exposed by Rome in this battle.

After Guo Yan and Fan Chou fought left and right, they did not quickly approach the Roman soldiers, but circled around the Roman soldiers at a slightly faster speed than before to find flaws.

This speed is not too fast, there is no pressure on the iron horse, and the distance between the two sides is about a mile, unless it is something like a chariot. Otherwise, no weapon of this era, except for the bulky trebuchet, could project this distance, except for the elite archers, of course.

However, trebuchets can only be taken away after dismantling, or they are made on the spot during the siege, and hauling them is basically a dream. It's too difficult.

Therefore, the Romans did not do anything radical about the encirclement behavior of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, but only silently defended themselves.

A simple circle is something completely different when used by different people, just like now in the hands of Ganassis, it has almost shown the power to turn decay into magic.

A silvery-gray glow surrounded the Roman defensive line. The power of the cloud qi was also condensed on the spear, which was the same as Li Dao's estimate. The Romans were able to fight their own country, and the legions they brought were at least at the regular elite level.

Guo Yan and Fan Chou did not complete the task of making a detour. When the two of them went around to the quarter position, one left and one right, they understood that there was no way to do this matter well, the commander of Great Qin was quite good, and there was no flaw in the military formation.

At the same time as the horse turned around, Guo Yan and Fan Chou both made the same move, squeezing the distance between the two sides little by little, while the Romans stood there like a silent reef, without the slightest movement.

Until it was squeezed to sixty steps, a dangerous distance that only one breath was needed to rush and kill, countless arrows suddenly erupted in the Roman military formation, and Guo Yan and Fan Chou also pulled back as if they were sensing danger, dodging all the arrows.

Even if the Romans' short bows could not penetrate their defenses, Guo Yan and Fan Chou kept in mind Li Ru's teachings not to use their own defenses to test the attacks of others unless there was no way to avoid them.

Ganassis watched with great solemnity as the two black torrents slid over like a tide, and the caution of the Han army made him clearly understand that this battle was not easy to fight.

[No, the Han army is too cautious, and the longbowmen in ambush have no chance to use it at all. Ganassis could already see the sweat on the foreheads of the infantry, even if it was an elite soldier, in such a situation where such a strong enemy was surrounded but did not attack, the psychological pressure was extremely heavy.

Guo Yan and Fan Chou advanced and retreated, and recently they had even made a charge, and the pressure on the Romans under this behavior was also increasing, and the butcher's knife was raised, and it was more uncomfortable than swinging it directly.

After Guo Yan and Fan Chou converged, a big flick was merged into Li Dao's back, both of them were extremely dignified, and almost all the skills given to them by Li Ru were used, but there was no result, so there was only one last way.

"Childish, no, Daqin is a very difficult bone to gnaw." Fan Chou stared ahead and said without squinting.

"If it's not strong, there's still value for us to test, hard bones, then smash him!" Li Wei coldly picked up the crossbow from his horse, "The infantry configuration of the Romans is really good, but if you want to stop us like this, it will be too much!" ”

All the Xiliang iron horsemen held the spear in their left hand, held the barrel of the gun with their arms, and the crossbow in their right hand, their eyes were extremely resolute, the wind and sand swept over, Li Wei roared angrily, and the Xiliang iron horsemen turned into a black angry dragon and charged at the Romans.

Almost at the same time, the Romans made adjustments, and the Romans facing Li Dao formed a spear formation and prepared to defend against the cavalry charge.

However, at this moment, Fan Chou and Guo Yan led two cavalry to kill at a faster speed, and a horn extended out in just a few breaths, and then when the Roman arrow rain shot towards Li Dao and the others in the front, everyone raised their right hands, and the collision of empires began!
