Chapter 694: Meng Yu's Demotion and Separation of the Rebel Army (Two in One)
"Kill!"
The fire spread rapidly, especially the sea breeze blowing from west to east, which accelerated the expansion of the fire.
Although Xu Ding and the others only had more than 200 riders, they could gallop freely.
Hack and slash at will, without worrying about falling off your horse.
At this time, the benefits of saddles and stirrups are more vividly reflected, and all cavalry can exert their strength as much as possible.
The combat effectiveness is several times stronger than usual.
For example, when they stab with a spear, they can stab harder, faster and more accurately.
For example, if you use a knife to slash and slash, you can slash and repel enemies who are usually much stronger than you.
And their back-and-forth fights are smoother, even if an enemy pounces and intercepts them.
They can also easily dodge, and then swing up with a single wound, scratching the person who pounces.
The cavalry was like the wind, and it was even more rampage in this chaotic scene.
From south to north, all the way to light fire and kill, the two hundred horsemen did quite beautifully.
When Xu Ding looked back through the camp, the entire Roman military camp was in flames.
The Romans fled, and only a few calm generals fought the fires under the organization.
Materials, materials, what hurts them the most is the equipment and supplies.
These are all money spent for nothing.
Without these things, what would they do to fight?
"Are you happy?" Xu Ding asked everyone.
Everyone replied violently: "Happy! ”
Xu Ding raised his spear and said, "Happy!" We will go back to the slaughter, and after the slaughter we will go into Durakium to rest, and then I will invite you to drink wine, in a big bowl. ”
"Kill through the past, drink, drink in a big bowl!" The riders smiled heartily.
Seriously, they haven't killed Yin tonight.
"Let's go!" Xu Ding was still in front, and the horse turned back again, and I urged the horse to follow.
The Romans didn't expect Xu Ding and the others to dare to come back, and they didn't even hold the weapon in their hands in a hurry, and they were rushed over again, and countless casualties were killed.
"Stop them, stop them for me!" A legion commander shouted angrily.
Several guards armed with broad knives tried to intercept them, but they were directly knocked away, and those who stood in the way were hacked to death by Xu Ding and his subordinates.
The cavalry burned like the wind, like a fiery dragon.
The Roman soldiers who had no intention of responding to the battle ran farther, and those soldiers who were fighting the fire were also taken care of by Xu Ding and others, and there was no one in the entire camp to fight the fire.
The sea breeze was still blowing, and soon the fire ravaged the entire camp.
An hour later, the fire was almost gone, and the entire camp was scorched.
Xu Ding came back with more than 200 horsemen, and there was no big hindrance, and he quickly disappeared into the fire camp.
In Durakium City, Meng Yu, who had just closed his heavy eyelids, was pushed awake by his subordinates.
Stepping up the walls, I saw the Roman army camp in the north blazing into the sky, shouting incessantly.
Confused like all the soldiers, but then ecstatic.
Whatever the reason, such a large fire broke out in the Roman camp to the north, which was a good thing for the defenders.
Maybe tomorrow the Romans in the north will not be attacking the city, and then they will only have to deal with the Romans in the south.
It's a lot easier.
At that moment, someone suggested: "Master Qianfu, we might as well go after the commander while the enemy camp is on fire and has no time to take care of us." ”
The others also looked at Meng Yu expectantly.
No one wants to die, they all want to leave Durakium.
Yijing has been said more than once, but Meng Yu resolutely refused.
This time was no exception, Meng Yu said: "No! Our task is to hold the city of Durakium, and we have to buy time for the commander, and when the commander takes Macedonia, he will return with a steady stream of troops to pick up the Romans.
We can keep the city for a year and a half, and as long as we don't admit defeat, no one can take the city of Lakium. ”
The crowd fell silent.
They are not afraid to defend the city, but is there any hope for guarding it like this?
What did the commander not promise when he left?
They were only asked to delay the pursuing Roman army a little, but they completed their task with the scriptures.
Shouldn't we be able to go?
Will the Commander-in-Chief come to our rescue with a great army?
The people were uncertain, for they knew that someone had gone to the east for help.
This was acquiesced by Meng Yu.
He did not support or refuse.
Because only in this way can we stabilize the morale of the army as much as possible, and if we don't give everyone hope, everyone will despair.
A desperate army can't hold a city.
Terrible things can happen to a desperate army at any moment.
"Look, my lord, someone is coming towards us." Suddenly, someone pointed to the north.
Everyone stared at it, but there were not many dark shadows coming from this side.
It was still cavalry, and although there was no sound, the speed of the black shadow's movement did not prevent them from guessing.
Meng Yu hurriedly drew his sword and said, "Inform everyone to prepare for battle and transfer the archers." ”
But soon Meng Yu and the others knew that this was a false alarm.
Because the other party stopped at a stone's throw and howled at the city.
"I'm Alexander Qin! Let Meng Yu roll over and talk back to me! ”
Xu Ding slowed down and slowly leaned up, and with the help of the torches in the city, everyone in the city finally saw some of Xu Ding's appearance clearly.
I couldn't help but be shocked and happy.
Even Meng Yu couldn't believe it, although from the voice and tone just now, he could tell that it was Xu Ding.
But without seeing people clearly, he still didn't dare to bet on this probability.
At this time, he could see more and more clearly, the hand holding the sword became more powerful, and his body trembled with excitement.
"It's the commander-in-chief! It's really a commander-in-chief! ”
All the soldiers in the city exclaimed, and all of them were boiling and excited at once.
Alexander Qin did not abandon them, he came back to save us.
"I haven't seen the commander of Meng Yu!" Meng Yu's dry lips opened, and his vocal cords were a little moved and couldn't let go.
Xu Ding, who was outside the city, snorted coldly and said, "If you don't open the city gate when you see me, do you want me to wait outside the city all the time?" ”
Meng Yu hurriedly said: "Open the city gate, open the city gate quickly!" ”
Only then did a group of soldiers hurriedly remove the wooden bolt and push open the city gate.
The heavy gate slowly opened, and two teams of soldiers armed with torches came out to light the cave and cover the horses.
Xu Ding and his horsemen rushed in, and there were no Roman pursuers behind them.
Soon the gates were closed again.
Meng Yu was waiting under the city, and before he could speak, Xu Ding jumped off the horse directly and said: "Meng Yu did not listen to the general's orders, and withdrew from Durakium in a hurry, according to military law, it should be punished heavily, but you have meritorious service in defending the city, and you have dragged the enemy army to buy some time for our army to advance eastward, and the death penalty can be avoided, and the living crime cannot be escaped."
You are now relieved of the post of commander of a thousand commanders, and you will be given a heavy rod and five military sticks to set an example. ”
Everyone was stunned when they heard this.
Commander Mon was dismissed.
What does the commander mean by this, how can he suddenly give such an order.
If you want to withdraw, it will be after this battle.
And it doesn't look like a fake.
Meng Yu is the commander's most loyal confidant, and he has to be punished.
Meng Yu said: "It's the commander, Meng Yu is willing to be punished!" ”
As a retainer, Meng Yu was very clear about his position, and he also understood Xu Ding's intentions.
In troubled times, we should use heavy codes, and in the army, we should strictly enforce military law.
There is no military law to restrain the army.
Although his intentions are good, he did violate military law.
At the same time, he also understood that this was Xu Ding's protection in disguise.
Otherwise, most of these soldiers who stayed behind to defend the city would complain afterwards.
Now, although he has been relieved of the position of commander, he will let the subordinates cry out for him.
In fact, it is Meng Yu who benefits.
Soon two people came out of the cavalry team, pulled Meng Yu aside, and beat the five army sticks with sticks.
After the fight, Meng Yu came back to report to Xu Ding.
Xu Ding said to everyone: "The deputy commander will temporarily take over the duties of the commander, go and gather all the soldiers in the city, and carry the injured ones to me." ”
Immediately, a deputy came out to receive the order, and then went to assemble the team.
Xu saw that everyone was gone, so he patted Meng Yu's shoulder and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Zhongqing!" ”
"Do things for Childe, Yu is willing." Meng Yu replied sonorously.
Xu Dingdao: "Zhongqing, it's not yet time for you to sacrifice, I have no other relatives in this world, so I will save you a brother, if you leave me, I know how sad I will be."
Even if you don't have an accident, in case you get injured or something, who will help me in the future, who will create glory with me, and who will enjoy glory with me. ”
"It's Yu's mistake, he shouldn't have made his own decisions and disrupted Childe's plan!" Meng Yu could hear that Xu Ding was sincere, and the two helped each other to get to where they are today.
The Qin family is inseparable from the Meng family, and the Meng family is inseparable from the Qin family.
Xu Ding shook his head and said: "No, I don't blame you for being the master, but you didn't see the situation clearly, you didn't see the situation clearly, you didn't see the situation inside our rebel army, you didn't see it clearly, you know that you made me very passive by doing this."
The rebels have always had disagreements, I need you to support me by my side, and when you're gone, I'll have a broken arm.
I guess now that the rebels are all heading north, I'll be left with your team and a few hundred horsemen. ”
Speaking of this, Xu Ding showed a self-deprecating wry smile.
Starting a business in the West is far more difficult and difficult than that of the big Han.
Don't look at the fact that he has a lot of fame in the Colosseum, but in the Roman Empire, he can't do it to the point where he raises his arms and gathers the clouds.
If he hadn't had a circle of friends, he wouldn't have known how many people he should trust.
In Rome or in the Western world, there are too many ethnic relationships.
"This ...... Childe means that they betrayed Childe! Meng Yu seemed to suddenly understand it.
Xu Ding only brought more than 200 horsemen to save himself, what about the infantry army.
Shopping, Vera Tuoli, and Meng Du must not have supported Childe to save him.
There will definitely be a split, and if they secretly leave while the son is leaving, the consequences will be serious.
"It's not a betrayal, it's just that people have their own aspirations, and sometimes they can't force them, and their subjective will is different, and they want to take Mercia, and then swallow Dacia, so as to fight against the Roman court." Xu Ding smiled:
"That's fine, let them play, let them fight, what I want is a messy Rome, what does it matter who messes up."
"They will regret it, the rebel army without a son is doomed to perish." Meng Yu said dissatisfiedly.
Xu Dingdao: "Don't say it's useless, maybe people can live a more nourishing life, and we can still meet or cooperate in the future."
Now that you are not a commander, I will wronged you to be the captain of my guard, the number is a little less, but it is good to take care of dozens of cavalry, and when I am not there in the future, you will also take good care of the cavalry for me.
Your Meng family is the commander of my Great Qin's iron-blooded cavalry, and I'm sure you won't let me down again. ”
"No, I will not do a good job, and I will not insult the Montessori family." Meng Yu grinned.
The captain of the guard is still Childe's henchman.
Unique.
It's just a thousand people.
Xu Dingding nodded, appreciative: "Yes, the attitude is okay, but this cavalry will not be good in the future, seeing that they have no equipment on the horse, this is my secret weapon, I originally wanted to find a place to develop and slowly use it."
For the sake of you kid, I won't mention that I can't expose it before, so in the future, your kid will work hard for me, and the ability to do it right away can't be carried, so let's wipe these two artifacts first! ”
Xu Ding took Meng Yu around the city, and after chatting, he turned down the city.
Meng Yu saw that the saddle on the horse's back and the stirrup, his eyes couldn't help but shine, and then he turned over and rode up, his feet were fixed on the stirrups, and he urged the horse to trot back and forth for dozens of steps, and the expression on his face was even richer.
If it's really a good thing, could it be that Gongzi can overturn the Roman military camp with two hundred horsemen tonight.
The restoration of Great Qin is hopeful.
The deputy quickly gathered all the men and horses in the city.
Counting the light and serious wounded, there are less than 600 of Meng Yu's more than 1,000 people.
Seeing the rest of the soldiers, Xu Ding jumped on a wooden box, and then said: "Brothers, your commander Mengyu told you, saying that you should trust the commander and that the commander will come to save you.
Now I want to say that your commander of the Thousand Commanders of Mengyu is not lying, I am here, and now I will take you out of the city and into the hinterland of the province of Macedonia.
I don't care if you're slightly or seriously injured, you won't leave me alone, just let me go. ”
"Long live the Commander! Long live Captain Meng! ”
The more than 500 soldiers below burst into tears, almost bursting out of their eyes, excited and moved.
The commander is still the commander-in-chief, and he always does not give up or abandon him.
Everyone knows that with Xu Ding's ability, he wants to escape, he wants to save his life, and he can leave very easily.
This is true from the Colosseum, from the city of Rome, and from the peninsula on the opposite coast.
But he never gave up anyone.
Although he will leave temporarily, he has never given up and is even less likely to abandon us.
The morale is very high, the fighting spirit is very high, and Xu Ding is quite satisfied.
These are all old pawns, this is the fire that has survived the test of blood and fire.
There are not many people, but they are loyal, reliable and experienced.
Xu Ding didn't ask for any jars and jars, but only asked everyone to bring some dry food to eat on the road, as well as weapons for self-protection, and then left the city at night to the east.
After daybreak, the enraged Romans learned that the rebels in the city of Durakium had withdrawn.
To the north, the two legions, which had been swept in the middle of the night in the wilderness, took over the city and waited for new orders and supplies of supplies and equipment.
The Roman army, encamped in the south, immediately pursued it eastward.
