Chorbolin drew his sword and said with the same anger: "Everyone, teach the rebels who don't know the height of the sky a lesson, capture Alexander Qin alive, and destroy them for me in front of the Macedonian people, our Roman Empire is invincible and cannot be provoked!" ”

"We Rome, invincible! Don't be provocative! The generals shouted.

"Attack!"

"Attack!"

"Rush over and smash their ......!"

Each legion in Rome had a cavalry corps, and the number of people varied depending on the size of the corps.

The province of Macedonia was a large province above the middle level, with a large area and a large population, so there was a cavalry guard under this regular army under Cholbolin.

If Cholbolin wanted to end this seemingly ridiculous battle beautifully and perfectly, then he naturally put the cavalry in the first sequence of the attack.

As long as the cavalry rushed over and scattered the rebels, the Roman infantry behind them could pounce and take them in the most perfect posture.

In order to achieve this strategy and tactics, Cholbolin transferred 20,000 men to the left and right flanks, and these two divisions were responsible for outflanking in a roundabout way.

The 20,000 troops were the worst troops, they were all improvised troops of slave owners and nobles.

These people are similar to the private soldiers of the Han family.

A group of sturdy family members were armed as a force, and then their slaves and debt farmers were incorporated into it, most of whom were not trained at all, and did not know how to cooperate, in short, they did whatever they were ordered to do.

It is a typical patchwork, and the combat effectiveness is a weak scum, and it can be used to defend the city.

Of course, it can also be used to fight against the wind and strengthen the prestige.

Now it was the case, and the Romans, on their part, thought they were in a position to win.

A main force of more than 10,000 troops, with 20,000 auxiliary defense troops, to deal with the rebels composed of mud legs, does not do what it thinks at all.

However, a corps was equipped with only ten detachments of cavalry, a team of 32 people, a total of more than 300 people.

The combined legion totaled about six hundred.

These 600 horsemen were armed with cavalry spears and small round shields in the other.

This small round shield is two sizes smaller than the round shield of the infantry, and it is light and convenient to hold in the hand, but it is not very strong.

"Kill!"

Jorbolin directly sent a henchman to lead the six hundred cavalry to Xu Ding's military formation.

The cavalry of the Roman army that was not from the cavalry legion was generally not very strong in combat.

Because they were only responsible for transmitting orders and letters to the infantry corps and scouting the enemy.

Fighting a war is generally the work of the main infantry force in the legion.

You must know that the structure of the Roman army is somewhat similar to that of the Western Han Dynasty or the Qin Dynasty in China.

That is, the soldiers are all compulsory soldiers, and they must bring their own equipment, whether it is armor, weapons, or horses.

Therefore, the families who can become cavalrymen are relatively wealthy.

The type of soldier he wants to be is also determined by his wealth.

So in fact, the combat effectiveness of the Roman legions was not as strong as the legend suggests.

As for the formation they were proud of, the rest of the battles did not show as god as later generations boasted.

Of course, this will be talked about later, but I will not show it at this time.

Now six hundred horsemen rushed towards the rebels.

Xu Ding didn't rush out with his few cavalry to intercept it, because he sneered.

The commander of the other party is a pig's brain, and as soon as he comes up, he charges the battle with cavalry, and it is only so little, he really doesn't take himself seriously.

I really thought that the 6,000 men and horses of the rebel army were vegetarians.

After Xu Ding, there was no large-scale expansion of the army, which was also considered by him.

One is that he has not yet found a fixed territory, and the more men and horses there are, the more disadvantageous it is, because it will weaken the mobility of his mobile guerrillas.

Second, his backbone subordinates have not been trained well, and the number of men and horses has expanded, which is not conducive to command.

There is no time to train during the three marches, and the expansion of the troops will only be a bloated fat man, and the real combat effectiveness is not strong.

Soldiers are not expensive.

A soldier with faith, and a soldier with conviction is a good soldier.

At this time, blind expansion is absolutely doomed.

So he marched all the way east, expanding to 6,000 men, which is a lot.

"Shieldmen! The sword men move on both wings, the spearmen engage, and the archers cover! Xu Ding was also the first time to go head-to-head with the Roman army, although the other party's consul was a little confused and arrogant, but Xu Ding still commanded seriously and calmly.

With his order, Veratoli and Montu each moved forward to the flanks with a thousand men of swords and shields, exposing the spearmen behind.

At the same time, they sprinkled thistles on the ground where they left.

A kind of four-spiked pimple, with three horns standing on top of any throw, and a black bump with the thorns facing upwards.

Villatuli and Montoo had no idea what it was.

This was made in a hurry by Xu Ding to Alexandria.

It hasn't been officially used in the West yet, so no one knows if it's dry or not.

However, it was sprinkled on the ground as promised.

The horses rushed to the front, and the spearmen were suddenly nervous without shields and swordsmen in front of them.

Although there are not many six hundred war horses, they are also on a scale, and they are rumbling and rushing, and the momentum is still very strong.

The ground shook, and many people's hands holding guns began to sweat and couldn't hold them.

In the end, it is a unit that has not undergone hard battles and has not been trained in formation.

Xu Ding found this problem, and immediately shouted: "Compare goods, stabilize me, if you spearmen are cowardly at this time, Lao Tzu will cut you, and hundreds of horses will follow, if you can't withstand it, my army will be over, hold on to me!" ”

The goods blushed by half, the spearmen were all trained by him, as one of the five centurions in the past, and now the commander of the thousands, his pressure is also increasing.

Standing in front with a gun, he shouted: "Don't be afraid of anyone, if you want to die, Lao Tzu will die first, in the northern battlefield, Lao Tzu did not die in the hands of Roman miscellaneous people, and in Macedonia he also asked for my life." ”

Taking the lead, as the voice of the goods compared, the spearmen suddenly changed, and they all looked at him.

"Woo woo woo ......"

The Roman cavalry, with six hundred horsemen, shouted for joy and exuberance.

Especially when I saw that the shield soldiers and sword soldiers of the rebel army had withdrawn to both flanks, and opened the middle road to kill themselves, I was really overjoyed.

The smile on his face was even brighter.

Even the others in the back, Djoel Bolin and the others were slightly stunned, and then smiled one by one.

"Hahaha, the rebels are finished, I originally thought that this Alexander and I * Qin would know how to use the art of war, and they could train the rebels into cavalry, archers, swordsmen, shield soldiers, and spearmen in batches.

Now it seems that it is just a showmanship, it is okay to scare those soft eggs, but in the face of my regular Roman army, it suddenly exposes their cowardly, bullying the soft and fearing the hard! ”

"Yes, Alexander Chinbutir, a stupid fool!"

But just as they were laughing unscrupulously, the cavalry horses that suddenly rushed forward neighed one after another, and then raised their front hooves with a howl, or raised their hind hooves violently, and lifted the cavalry off their horses.

Or maybe the harness of the people and horses is down.

For a moment, the expressions of Jolbolin and his men froze in place, and they couldn't laugh anymore.

"Shoot the arrows!" Xu Ding gave another order, and thousands of archers and thousands of bows and arrows were shot.

At this time, the charge was affected by the front load, and the Roman cavalry who were delayed became a live target.

The flying arrows instantly took the lives of many people and horses.

There are countless people who have fallen for a while.

"Shooting!" Xu Ding then said: "The spearmen attack!" ”

The order flag waved, and the goods were ordered, and with a roar of rage, he rushed towards the enemy cavalry with the spearmen.

Shopping around did not expect that the little thistle terrestris was so powerful, and he intercepted the enemy horse, and was overjoyed at the moment, and then rushed up, and stabbed an enemy horse off the horse with a spear.

Not to be outdone, the spearmen behind him finally overcame their fears, and as soon as the spears were delivered, one or more people dealt with the Roman knights.

A spear and a gun, one by one, stabbed off the horse.

The cavalry and spearmen were engaged in a mixture, and the soldiers on both sides found a terrible howl.

In the end, the last column of the Roman cavalry saw that the opportunity was wrong, and urged the horse to turn around and run back to his own army.

The rest who didn't run away were basically stabbed to death.

Bibi hurriedly organized his men to return the captured war horses to the rear.

This small victory directly helped Xu Ding capture more than 300 war horses.

Xu Ding immediately asked the cavalry without horses to take down the equipment of the Roman army, and then turned over on their horses and joined the cavalry sequence.

Joelbolin here was stunned.

The cavalry on the other side was thus killed and defeated.

It's also too fast.

It's not the same thing as what they think.

"Your Excellency, this ...... What's next? One of his men asked Joel Bolin, who was a little stunned and had not yet come to his senses.

Joel Bolin came back to his senses after being asked, took a deep breath and said: "The Ninth Legion is attacking, and the auxiliary legion is advancing behind the palace, and the loser is the enemy who escapes the net." ”

"Yes, Lord Governor." One of his men replied.

The Ninth Legion, which is a standing legion, is an imperial establishment.

The Auxiliary Corps was the local stable unit of the Macedonian province and was responsible for assisting the standing army in combat.

The two units were combined to form the Combined Corps.

With the command of the commander of the army, the phalanxes with the brigade as the unit moved forward in a flexible and orderly manner.

It has to be said that the phalanx of the Roman army was more convenient and flexible than that of Macedonia, which was famous and famous.

They take the brigade as the basic unit of operation, but they can be combined into a large formation, or they can fight independently into a small formation.

On the opposite side, different enemies, different terrain changes from time to time.

This was one of the great characteristics and advantages of the Roman army.

Combined with the large population base of the Roman Empire, they were invincible in battles with the various ethnic groups and countries of the West.

So this is the same as the Han in the East, with a huge population advantage, which can crush the barbarians around it.

Even in the case of the loss of the main forces, it will soon be able to pull up a large army, which can be continuously replenished for operations.

Therefore, at this time, whether it is the East or the West, the essence of fighting is population and money and food.

Population is the most critical factor in a country's development.

In the face of the real Roman army, the phalanx began to move and pressed over.

Xu Ding glanced at the wings, and then made a new decision.

"All the cavalry will follow me to the enemy on the right flank, the spearmen will follow, the sword men will follow, the archers will be in the center, and the shield men will be behind, and they will attack the enemy on the right flank with all their might, and together with me will crush this group of enemies and drive them to the center." Xu Ding naturally also saw the difference between the strength and weakness of the Roman army.

The enemy on both flanks was clearly disorganized and under-armed.

Both the banner on the front and the mental outlook of the army are far behind the two wings.

He guessed that this was a standing Roman army, and that it should be the strongest in combat.

Because if he came to set up the formation, he would also put the strongest army on the front, and then break through in the middle and encircle it on both flanks.

However, the other party's strategy is right, the mistake is that it is in a hurry, in order to cooperate with the cavalry, the enemy on both wings came out first.

So it was a good opportunity, Xu Ding seized the fighter, and the six thousand men and horses rushed directly to the right flank.

Instead of being beaten in formation, it is better to impact Yibo.

At this time, Xu Ding had five hundred horsemen, although they were all amateurs, and there was not much training.

However, many of them themselves are also captives from northern tribes, and their horse skills are okay.

Moreover, now the Roman army had no cavalry to confront it, so Xu Ding took the lead and swept into the enemy army with a spear that he had prepared.

"Shoot the arrows! Shoot ......"

Commanding the army on the right flank was a large slave owner, who saw the cavalry of the rebel army rushing towards him, and hurriedly shouted.

The men hurriedly released arrows to block the attack.

Xu Ding waved his spear, blocked a wave of arrows, and then rushed first, and the war horse rushed, and directly rushed into it.

Suddenly, several soldiers flew upside down.

Then Xu Ding swung his gun and swept it, and there was a lot of blood, and several people fell to the ground in a miserable howl.

"Die!" Picking left and right stabbing, Xu Ding shot frequently, and no one could stop him, and all of them died under his gun.

Although the five hundred horsemen behind them were a little unable to keep up with the rhythm, and dozens of people died under a wave of arrows, they still rushed into this gap and killed them.

Cavalry is too advantageous against infantry.

Especially these miscellaneous armies, the weapons are all light infantry equipment, how can they stop the cavalry.

"Kill!"

The sword and sword shadow, the spear was like a dragon, and the five hundred horsemen were infected by Xu Ding's spirit as a pioneer, and they were also brave and invincible, killing the miscellaneous army on the right flank to retreat to two to dodge.

They followed Xu Ding to the deep hinterland of the right-wing Roman army, and the place they passed through was a mess and full of corpses.

Soon Xu Ding rushed to the position of the headquarters, and the big slave owner was still in shock.

How could the rebels be so strong, and the leaders were so able to fight, but no one could make a move in the battle, and they were all defeated and killed.

Seeing Xu Kill coming, he was so frightened that he hurriedly urged the horse to retreat.

"Where to go!" Xu Ding stabbed the gun, directly through the man's chest, and then held the gun and picked it up.

The big slave owner did a nice backflip in the air and smashed into his own team.

As soon as the great slave owner died, the slaves had no leader, and seeing that the rebel army was so fierce, they all fled and retreated, and the whole army was even more chaotic.

At this time, the other four divisions of the rebel army also rushed in, and then the spearmen stabbed with their indomitable guns, and the swords slashed in the back to completely solve the undead.

Archers and shieldmen took cover in the rear, and archers sometimes shot enemy troops fleeing from both sides of the formation, reaping the lives of the enemy.

"Damn! Speed up and catch them up, and don't let them mix in the right flank legion. "It is too ironic that Choel Bolin was in a hurry, his cavalry was finished by the other side, but the opponent's cavalry broke his right flank at once.

You must know that most of the war horses boasted by the other horse's cavalry have just been captured from his cavalry, which makes it uncomfortable for anyone to see it.

Moreover, the defeat of the right-wing army also suddenly woke him up, and the rebels were not as weak as they imagined.

Although the number of people is small, although there is no training, but the organization is very high, especially the courage of that Alexander Qin is too strong, he rode first and rushed all the way over, smashed the Yellow Dragon, and killed the big slave owner.

If this is on his own side, whether the Chinese army can stop it makes Jorbolin a little worried.
