Chapter 653: Stalemate

The breeze was gentle, the tender green grass was shining in the sun, the light and shadow gradually tilted past, the dust particles between the soil trembled slightly, and then jumped violently, and the horse's hooves that brought out the sound of the wind stepped down violently, and countless dust particles rose into the sky, spreading in the air, and suddenly, a war horse galloped and rushed out of the dust.

Immediately behind, several horsemen quickly passed by.

The knight who ran ahead early, short clothes and leather armor, a chain iron helmet covering his ears, a thick and short body, the war horse under him was not tall, and he kept dodging in the gallop, and the arrows flew to the front with him, and there were companions who joined him in the middle, skillfully holding the bow and taking arrows to return fire to the pursuing enemy behind.

Opposite the line of sight where the bow was drawn, the five Cylius cavalry unfolded in a row, with a ring-headed sword, a longbow, leather armor, and riding boots as their standard configuration, and Li Heizi, the leader of the wolf cavalry scout, glanced at the movement of the Roman scout on the opposite side, and pinched the bow and lifted it up: "Disperse!" ”

The four horsemen in a row pulled the reins in the gallop, and made a sharp turn in the gallop, and the three arrows went directly past them, stuck in the ground, and went far behind. When the three Roman scouts turned around and drew their arrows, the four galloping wolf horse scouts also roared, completing a huge arc, and the leader of the scouts grabbed an arrow and raised it towards the Roman scouts who were already parallel, shouting violently: "Give me down!" "The strings sounded.

Whoosh –

The black shadow flew out through the smoke and sunlight. In the light curtain, a Roman scout had just drawn an arrow and put on the bowstring, and there was a sharp pain in his neck, which was cold through a boiling heat, he let out a miserable scream, covered his neck and fell off the horse, and at the same time as he screamed, the other two Roman scouts quickly pulled the reins and turned, and in a low and short speech, it seemed that he had made a decision.

At this moment, the war horse attacked, and one of the Roman scouts drew his short sword to meet it with fierce shouts, and the swords slashed together, and the sparks jumped out of the edge, and the moment he gritted his teeth to resist it, he shouted to his companions: "Go! The wolf rider scout swung his knife again, he turned his horse's head, and directly threw the nearest Cylius off the horse's back, the blade also pierced into the body, and the blood rolled out in the tumble, and staggered to his feet, and the embarrassed wolf rider scout came from behind, put his arms around his neck, and grinned at the corners of his mouth to show his yellow teeth: "You hurt me......" The tip of the knife stabbed violently, and thrust it into the back, and the Roman scout's whole person twitched and trembled in the process.

"..... message to bring back .......... the cavalry of the Cylius ..... ..... nearby"

The blood-stained blade was pulled out violently, the scout shook violently, his bloody lips opened to the extreme, the sound stopped abruptly, and in the darkening vision, the scout cavalry of the Cylius had already chased after him, shook a little, and the person behind him also turned over and left, he took two steps and fell down.

The pursuit continued in the field, and soon after that, he joined up with his companions and ran wildly towards his own position, and the pursuing enemy cavalry became more and more, and after a small fight, the information was finally brought to the Roman Emperor.

In the original army of 100,000 people, the ecology and personal consciousness are incomparably huge, and nearly 60,000 people on the front line are engaged in fighting, and their nerves are tense to the extreme, and suddenly news comes that the enemy's Chinese army is gone, whether it is true or false, for the side of the battle, it feels incredible, and there are indescribable emotions, panic and doubts will ripple in the bottom of people's hearts, and then spread farther.

The last four Roman legions in the center and in the rear, with the responsibility of guarding the king's banner, are also the most sensitive positions, if it were not for strict discipline, such an atmosphere would have been shaken, quietly waiting, listening to the sound of fighting in front, scouts from outside with news back, causing a slight commotion.

"...... so, the main force of the Cylius did not disappear, but hovered around us?" Severus passed the information to the surrounding army commanders, got up and asked people to get the map, carefully swept around the battlefield marked above, and his brows gradually furrowed: "What a smart young commander, using the flexibility of the cavalry, in turn to surround us, interesting!" ”

"Your Majesty, do you want to take back one or two legions on the battlefield?"

"No need to ....." The old man waved his hand, but then the words paused, and he raised his gaze: "..... let the Macedonian army withdraw, there is no need to break through there." He looked at the slanting sunlight with his hands in his hands, and took a deep breath: "Don't the Eastern Commander know that I still have a legion coming?" Such an encirclement is as thin as a sheepskin. ”

The sky is shining, and the endless field is full of countless war horses.

The dust dragged out the gray long tornado into the sky, and the dense cavalry advanced in a long formation, and from time to time several horsemen broke away to assist the scouts on the field, chasing and killing the snooping enemy cavalry, and then returning to the rushing ranks, if there is a sky perspective to look down, around the huge battlefield of twenty miles, the cavalry roaring forward is connected end to end to form a huge circle, occasionally found that an enemy appears, several, or even dozens of horsemen separated out in small teams, driving or shooting each other.

"Chief, in this way, wouldn't the Great Qin Dwarf be trapped and killed by us?" Li Ke carried a mace, stained with the blood of the enemy, and rode back excitedly.

"No, it won't."

Gongsun stopped the shadow, stationed on a gentle slope on higher ground, and stared at the battlefield: "After all, ...... they still have soldiers and horses coming outside, and our number is a little less after all." ”

Although the use of tactics caused trouble to the other party, Gongsun Zhi knew his own weaknesses in his heart, and it was obvious that he could not do it at all to annihilate the opponent, and considering that the other party still had reinforcements, at the moment this tactic could not only get rid of the danger of being besieged, but also flexibly make adjustments.

At this time, just after an hour in a circular array, the temptations on the Roman side have begun to become frequent, half an hour later, the news of receiving the enemy came from the northeast, a Roman mercenary cavalry began to attack there, and they were engaged in the Parthian cavalry, the level was almost eight pounds and eight taels, the gap was not torn open, so far, the northwest also came to the battle report, but the raiding Roman cavalry this time encountered the state, the Huns, two cavalry, more than 1,300 people were disabled in the time of a stick of incense, was even almost chased by Lu Bu to the vicinity of their Chinese army camp.

Although victorious, Gongsun Zhi, who received the battle report, did not have a smile on his face, looked at Xiyun, who was gradually reddening, and then looked to the east: "That emperor is testing the combat power of every part of the circle, but what's the point?" Hehe......"

It's a pity that this formation is constantly moving, and even when he occasionally rests, the enemy is different from the position he fought before, which is also what makes Severu quite nerve-wracking. A battle, in fact, is more like a game of chess, the commander of both sides is the person who holds the chess pieces, before dark, and even at night constantly dropping chess pieces, probing, exchanging offense and defense, and striking east and west, after this series of confrontations, the elderly Severus is physically exhausted, and he almost faints in the big tent.

In the second half of the night, when it was almost dawn, he sent only three broken legions to hold back the Cylius foot soldiers and Kushan war elephants, and led seven legions, totaling 80,000 men, to break through to the west, and to use the numerical advantage to smash a way out. The battle unfolded when the sun rose in the clouds, the infantry advanced, and the brute cavalry was hired to protect the two wings to rush towards each other and shoot arrows, however, the Han cavalry first shot a few arrows, that is, the cavalry of the Romans began to ride and shoot, and did not engage with the foot soldiers, and then the Xianbei and Hun cavalry in the front and rear directions arrived, and the large-scale cavalry battle evolved into a small-scale melee, and the advancing Roman infantry phalanx was never able to attack the Celeus people in the real sense, no matter how to advance, the distance between them was always kept in a certain space.

A feeling of looking at the mountains and running a dead horse.

The time was close to noon, the Roman army of nearly 80,000 people stopped to rest and eat, Severus was also covered in sweat and sat in a makeshift tent drinking wine to quench his thirst, now he has basically figured out the other party's strange tactics, the circle is constantly moving, where his foot soldiers go, the other party is also walking, along the way, the trees and grass are pulled out and trampled by the other party, and the sky can't even see a bird, the only cavalry that can break the game is not the opponent of the other party at all, at the end of the day, three thousand will be lost in half, Even the cavalry of Numidia was only a few hundred people killed, and the thought of the knight of Cylius, who was almost about to rush that day, dressed in a fiery red cloak, golden armor, and red war horse, looked at the other party's eyes from a distance, and it made him tremble.

"Stop, give the order, and defend on the spot!" Severus put down the cup, suddenly realized something, and finally had a smile on his face: "Then change your attack, I won't leave." ”

…….

Flowing cavalry hordes.

When the news came that the Roman army had stopped advancing, on horseback, Gongsun Zhi put down the water bag, his thick brows furrowed, and after a while, he still let out a deep sigh: "It seems that Severus still sees my shortcomings, and the next battle is a little troublesome." ”

Earlier, he had received another message from the scouts - to the northeast, three Parthian legions were approaching.

The battle suddenly turned into a confrontation.
