The cluster charge of the barbarian light cavalry was never a threat to the Roman army, whether it was the Macedonian phalanx of the barbarian phalanx legion or the shield wall defense line of the Roman legion, it was easy to stop the cluster charge of the barbarian light cavalry.

The barbarian light cavalry, which lacked the use of cavalry tactics and did not know how to take advantage of the advantage of size, was simply a chicken rib class that was tasteless and discarded in the eyes of Bai Feng; if Nelson had not made great contributions to the city of Rome, his cavalry corps would not have survived to this day.

The purpose of Bai Feng's dispatch of Antio to form the Hammer Legion was to create a truly capable cavalry force for the city of Rome, and compared with the heavy cavalry armed to the teeth, the light cavalry with limited combat power was very disparity in all aspects.

It is no exaggeration to say that in a head-to-head confrontation or assault charge, the Hammer Legion, which is only 4,000 heavily armed cavalry, is absolutely complete with the Roman Spear Legion with a full size of 10,000 horsemen.

Of course, the official name of Nelson's cavalry corps is still the Roman spear, on the one hand, because of Bai Feng's commitment to Nelson, and on the other hand, because the Hammer Legion has not had a chance to show its strength on the battlefield since its formation.

Otherwise, even if Bai Feng insisted on placing the number of the Roman spear on the head of Nelson's cavalry corps, Nelson himself would be embarrassed to accept it;

Natsukawa Heikyo and Nishimura were both shogunate figures in the shogunate system and knew a lot about the situation of the Roman army, but the monotonous classes of troops and the single tactics of the warriors under their command limited their playfulness, and they could not cope with even the 7,000 light cavalry.

The disarray of the soldiers on both flanks greatly disturbed Nishimura's command, distracting him back and forth between the main army and the two wings of the army, until the enemy's 3,000 cavalry attacked, and the thousands of soldiers he had drawn from the front of the battle hurriedly met him.

From fighting the enemy at the front line of the battle to turning around to meet the enemy cavalry, where could the thousands of foreign soldiers who had not had time to catch their breath stop the cluster charge of 3,000 cavalry; the roaring enemy cavalry broke the defense line of these soldiers with only one wave of charge.

First, the two flanks were disrupted by the enemy's cavalry, and now his main army was rushed in by the enemy's cavalry; in order to stabilize his army, Nishimura had to directly abandon his original concave front and instead shrink his forces to strengthen the main force.

Fortunately, the lethality of the barbarian light cavalry was not terrifying, and Nishimura, who had retracted his forces in time, quickly stabilized the position of his own army and did not give the rescued enemy vanguard a chance to take advantage of it.

Looking at the smoke and dust rolled up by the enemy cavalry in the distance, Nishimura Jun, who was holding back the fire in his belly, after receiving 15,000 reinforcements, once again divided his forces more powerful than the two wings that had shrunk back, and killed the two wings of the enemy in a crescent-shaped battle formation.

In the series of encounters just now, Nishimura's strength has dropped from the initial 30,000 to the current 29,000, which also includes the 15,000 soldiers who have been reinforced, which means that in just one and a half hours, 16,000 soldiers have been killed in the Lucy Kingdom.

Of the 15,000 vanguard soldiers under François, only more than 8,000 soldiers were killed, and nearly 7,000 soldiers were still fighting desperately and bloodily.

Seeing that the rebels once again wanted to besiege François's vanguard army on three sides, they had just used cavalry to attack Gregory who was unprepared, and this time sent 10,000 soldiers as reinforcements to reinforce François on the battlefield.

The battle between the two armies on the battlefield returned to the bloody life-and-death struggle of the soldiers, and the time passed gradually faster, and the bloody battle continued until half past three in the afternoon, when François's department, which had suffered extremely heavy casualties, was once again on the verge of danger.

Nishimura, who had finally succeeded in playing a concave front, had formed a three-sided encirclement of François's headquarters, and François, whose buffer margin was becoming more and more narrow, was forced by the change in the situation of the battle to take the initiative to ask his teacher Gregory for help for the first time.

Gregory, who had witnessed the changes in the situation of the battle, naturally understood how difficult the situation of François's army was, and Gregory, who had never been disdainful of the fighting power of the rebels, knew that he had no way out but to fight with all his might!

Without much hesitation, the remaining 20,000 elite soldiers under his command were all sent by Gregory to the battlefield to reinforce François, while he himself personally led only 6,300 light cavalry, cruising to the periphery of the battlefield without hurry.

"My lord. Yamashita Yangxi, who had watched the battle for nearly four hours, sighed to Bai Feng with a smile on his face: "If this situation continues to develop, before dark, there is a chance that the 100,000 troops of General Xia Chuan and General Nishimura will be able to complete the defeat of the enemy army independently!"

"I don't think so. Without waiting for Bai Feng, who was engrossed in watching the battle, turned around, Luculus on the side took over and said: "The enemy's 20,000 elite troops and more than 6,000 cavalry are about to join the battle, and it is difficult to defeat this enemy army in just two hours." ”

"General Luculus, just because it's difficult doesn't mean it's impossible, doesn't it?" Yamashita Yoshipi smiled and said, "I believe that General Xia Chuan and General Nishimura will definitely be able to defeat this enemy army on their own and complete the task given to them by the main bus." ”

"King Yoki Yamashita, you may have misunderstood. After feeling the deep meaning contained in Yamashita Yoki's words, Luculus said without giving in: "The task given by the governor to General Natsukawa and General Nishimura is only to hold back the enemy army until nightfall. ”

"General Luculus, can't General Natsukawa and General Nishimura exceed their mission?"

"King Yamashita Yangxi, defeating the enemy army and annihilating the enemy army are two concepts, you don't want to lose a big one because of a small one!"

"What do you mean by losing big because ......of a small thing?

"That's enough!" Bai Feng, who was a little upset by the dispute between Yamashita Yoki and Luculus, interrupted them: "One of you is the lord of a country and the other is the lord of an army.

"His Majesty (the last general) knows his mistakes, and the lord (governor) forgives his sins!" Seeing Bai Feng's anger, the two of them recognized their mistakes in unison.

"Think about who you are before you speak. Bai Feng, who glanced at him coldly, turned to continue to look at the battlefield and said, "As for Xia Chuan and Nishimura's performance, I am already very satisfied that they can fight Gregory in this situation." ”

"Yamashita, you immediately send someone to send an order to Xia Chuan, telling him that he only needs to send troops to reinforce Xicun to stabilize the battle line. After Bai Feng gave the order for the battle, he explained: "For a low-hanging fruit, we don't have to pay some more unnecessary casualties. ”

"No!" Regarding the order given by Bai Feng himself, Yamashita Yangxi had no objection.
