Chapter 543: Capture Ctesiphon!
In the early morning of the next day, the three cavalry divisions directly under the Ninth Army totaled 37,000 Great Chu elite cavalry.
With the assistance of the Great Chu elite infantry, they came to the battlefield under the Taixi Seal City and lined up.
Just looked at these Great Chu elite horsemen, each of them wore a round battle helmet of stainless steel, with a black tassel on it, two layers of cotton armor inside the black fish-scale battle armor, and a leg skirt armor made of black tiny scales underneath, and a gardenia pattern brocade cloak embroidered with gold and silver leaves in light red behind them.
Even the horses on which they sat were wearing face armor and cotton armor with tiny scales.
For a time, the gorgeous appearance of the elite cavalry of the Great Chu Empire shocked the soldiers of the Roman Empire, especially the consul Osroto at the front.
"Is this the armament of the Great Chu Empire?"
Osrotto looked at the well-equipped infantry army of the Great Chu Empire in front of him, and couldn't help but be very jealous, but he was also shocked.
It seems that the armed forces of the Great Chu Empire are really "not ordinarily powerful!" Honestly, I was a little shocked to see this, huh? ”
Osroto looked at the lieutenant in front of him, Cameletos, and said with some weakness and confidence.
"Tell the Moors to charge me! Get a head start on the battlefield! In addition, tell the stone cart to give me a hard blow to these soldiers of the Great Chu Empire. ”
But before Osroto could finish speaking, he saw the hordes of artillery fire directly and accurately cover the catapults that had just removed the camouflage, and watched as a sea of fire turned around the carts.
"What is this? How can there be such a strange sound and so much power? ”
"Could it be that this is God's punishment? Oh my God! ”
Osroto looked at the dozens of stone carts in front of him, and instantly lost to the flames, and couldn't help but feel a pain on his face.
And those who survived the stone truck soldiers looked at the bombed in front of them and looked at those comrades who were talking and laughing with them one second ago, and the next moment they were scorched black, and some were blown in half, and they couldn't help but be even more frightened.
"Stop shelling! Archers ready! ”
Xiang Kun personally went to the front line, seeing that the heavy weapons in front of him that threatened his cavalry charge had been destroyed, and he couldn't help but give a combat order.
"Order the crossbowmen! Give me the archers of the Roman Empire to cover the walls of our cavalry while they charge! ”
"Whoa!"
Three battalions of 10,000 crossbowmen then took their positions, aiming at the archers of the Roman Empire who were stationed on the city walls, as well as some turrets and other military installations that could threaten the threat of their own cavalry charge from a distance.
"Soldiers, this is our first cavalry battle with the Roman Empire, everyone must show our skills and let them see the combat ability of the cavalry of our Great Chu Empire!"
The three division commanders looked at the officers and soldiers under their command in front of them and couldn't help but say loudly.
"Whoa!"
After the cavalry answered, all the cavalry looked at the Moors in front of them, their eyes were full of war, and they clenched the war spears in their hands.
"Charge!"
The three division commanders twitched their cavalry sabers, which were unique to their cavalry units, and gave the order to charge.
All the soldiers took the lead in raising the one-meter-long cavalry lance horizontally, and then charged forward with the help of horsepower, and watched the rows of fast-moving spears directly and easily stabbed many Moors who were originally going to fight in close combat.
"Change the knife!" Then a large number of horsemen immediately inserted their spears into the saddles of their saddles, carried them behind their backs, drew their sharp sabers made of stainless steel, and rushed over.
Just looked at a large number of elite horsemen of the Great Chu Empire, like tigers descending from the mountain, and began to confront the Moors.
Just look at the Great Chu elite cavalry, relying on the sharp and tough steel swords, the steel-forged fish scale chain armor, as well as superb horsemanship and rich experience in the war, from the beginning to the end of the war, they have always controlled the war.
And looking at the war horses ridden by the Moors of the Roman Empire Alliance Legion left on the battlefield in front of him, of course, the Great Chu Jingqi also pocketed all these war horses!
"It seems that we won this war very easily! Now we can capture Ctesiphon! ”
"Pass the order! Adjust the artillery Zhuyuan, we're going to war! ”
"Tom tom! Tom tom! Tom tom! ”
Just looking at the next large number of artillery shells, as if they didn't want money, they instantly began to smash into the walls of Ctesiphon like locusts.
A quarter of an hour later, the walls of Ctesiphon were blown to dust by the overwhelming artillery fire of the Great Chu Empire.
And in the next moment, all the soldiers of the Great Chu Empire rushed into the city, and it took less than an hour and a half to occupy Ctesiphon, and wiped out a full 8,000 soldiers of the Roman Empire and captured 1,500 soldiers of the Roman Empire.
And the soldiers of the Great Chu Empire lost only five hundred killed, and three thousand were wounded of various levels.
"Haha! It seems that the overall combat level of the soldiers of our Great Chu Empire is still good! ”
After Xiang Kun received the battle report, he couldn't help but laugh after reading it.
"Yes! It seems that the soldiers of the Roman Empire this time are not as powerful as your majesty said! ”
Some Chu army generals looked at Xiang Kun in front of them and couldn't help but say with a smile on their faces.
"This time we lost five hundred people, killed eight thousand of the enemy, and captured a thousand."
"Your Majesty, I think ours has indeed won?"
Hua Xiong looked at Xiang Kun in front of him and couldn't help but say.
"You think it's a victory! I think we're just borrowing the advanced equipment of our Great Chu Empire! ”
"You must know that these soldiers were killed by those soldiers of the Roman Empire. May I ask if the soldiers of the Great Chu Empire have no armor and make the weapons that are also bronze, will you still be so happy? ”
Xiang Kun looked at Hua Xiong in front of him and couldn't help but say with a smile.
"In this ......, the last general admits that those soldiers of the Roman Empire are very capable of fighting, but the soldiers of our Great Chu Empire are also very brave in battle!"
"Our soldiers are also one-on-one on the battlefield and have won a lot!"
Hua Xiong looked at His Majesty in front of him and couldn't help but say with a smile.
"I admit it! But you have to know that we are outsiders, and we must be careful in other countries! ”
"Because here we can be attacked at any time!"
"Next, I will order Zhang Ren's Third Army, Pan Rui's Sixth Army and us to join forces to sweep away the regular remnants of the area north of Tessifon!"
"This time, I will keep Sima Yi here as the commander-in-chief of the front! If you have something, listen to Sima Yi's opinion! ”
