In eastern Anatolia, the Eagle Banner and the Wolf Banner come from the east and west directions.

The morning light rises into the clouds.

Countless spiked sandals crossed the dry earth, and near the eagle banner covered with bronze ornaments, the centurions in the cross-maned helmets shouted with iron spears, and then hundreds of voices rang out from all sides, and eight Roman legions advanced in several layers, and all the mercenary cavalry and archers merged on the left and right flanks to protect the foot soldiers in the center.

Layers of figures, in front of the crowded heads, left and right, are arranged with young stragglers, rangers, used to consume the opponent's arrows, or the buffer zone for the first round of charge, followed by the first layer of the Roman youth army, then the adult army, and finally the veteran array, and the rear is the royal banner of the Roman Emperor Severus, and the Praetorian Guard of the arch guard, the number is not large, but almost all of them are composed of centurion-level veterans.

Float and sink at their feet.

The mighty 110,000 soldiers and horses, including the auxiliary soldiers, all followed the eagle flags of each team, slowly moving forward in this golden morning, and the eagle king flag with a red background and golden spikes was surrounded by soft vocal accompaniment, and Severus, who was in a purple robe and a half-body muscular cuirass, rode on horseback, raised his white head, and looked at the information that had just been passed in his hand, with a slight frown.

"How come there are only so few people in the Celeus' main formation?"

The content of the intelligence seems to be a good thing, but it is inevitable that there are some doubts in my heart about the commander of an army, the emperor of a country, after approaching the battlefield, and the number of enemies he estimated. The commander of the Praetorian Guard, Cesarus, approached on horseback: "Your Majesty, there is no way for the armies of the Celeusians in the north and south battlefields to be withdrawn to this side, and the armies of Parthia, Dawan, and Kushan have lost a lot of people in the previous battles, and this time they see that it should be the last strength of the Celeus." ”

"Look at my memory...... Haha, I just read the information yesterday, and I forgot it. Severus looked into the distance and laughed, and said softly: "However, this should not be the last strength of the Selius, but it is too scattered to gather back." There should be one or two that are hidden, ready to attack the rear, right? ”

In the distance, at the same time as the sound of shouting to stop, he put on an iron helmet: "I have already made arrangements in the rear of the ......, prepare the scorpion cannon and torsion catapult, and bulldoze the Celeus people directly head-on!" ”

The flag-bearer waved the flag, and in the stretching phalanx, the trumpeters around the eagle banner blew the battle horn, and the centurion in the front row gritted his teeth and glared at the oncoming army opposite, afraid of hitting the armor in the chest, and let out a fierce roar: "Defeat the enemy on the opposite side, glory as a warrior!" ”

"Roar! Roar! ”

In the distance, the fierce and shaky field of vision, the huge white wolf flag was clearly unfurled, and the number of carriages moved slowly, the wheels ran over the rugged road, and the shirtless soldiers above struggled to wave their arms. The drumsticks struck again and again, the drum surface vibrate, and the syllables spread majesticly and passionately in the advancing military formation. Dozens of horsemen weaved through the crowd and shouted: "-Prepare to meet the enemy!" ”

Rumble!

Rumble!

Boom Boom!

With a passionate drum beat, the advancing eight thousand Xiliang army formation, dense footsteps shook the field, with the screams of the herald cavalry, Qi Qi stopped, the front row of the sword and shield soldiers smashed down the big shield with a bang, the dust was filled, the wind blew here, raised up and rolled to the rear, fifty huge bodies swept the proboscis and occasionally made a long roar, the soles of the feet were heavily pressed on the ground, a stone flew out, and the thin armor on the body was rattling in the walk, and the short arrow tower on the back, There were two soldiers at the helm and two soldiers who were archers, shouting to keep a distance between each other, and then Qi Qile stopped behind the Han army formation in front, like an iron wall, surrounded by two thousand Guishan steps and bows to fight together.

With the footsteps of the Xiliang army in front of the stop, the two wings that extend to the left and right of the wolf flag are the Parthian cavalry and the Dawan cavalry, the previous battle was chaotic, and the part was damaged, and now the two sides add up to only more than 20,000, and the tiger and leopard cavalry after the reorganization has only 2,400 people, of which the tiger cavalry is only 800, at this time with the four thousand archers of Gongsun Zhi, divided into two groups of Gongwei army in the banner, around the wolf king, is five hundred of the most elite, but also fanatical guards cavalry.

Not counting the Xianbei, Wuhuan, Xiongnu, and Bingzhou armies that did not arrive, as well as the two armies of Jingzhou and Jiangdong that lost contact, Gongsun Zhi has taken out all his family resources at present, less than 40,000 people. 40,000 against 110,000 Roman main forces, it's a bit crazy. For the Romans, daring to take the initiative to fight under weakness is a naked humiliation for them.

Between the dust.

Hua Xiong, Bi Basket, Sekesh, Pi Meng, Xiahou Yuan, Guo Yan and others will gather under the wolf flag, quietly listen to Gongsun Zhi's deployment, and then return to their respective armies.

"It's a fool to go head-to-head with them, I don't have many people, but most of them are cavalry......" Behind him, Li Ke and Dian Wei didn't speak, just listened quietly.

"Order, put the ten-stone rhubarb crossbow rack on the car and push it over, and withdraw after one round......"

In a deep voice, the herald galloped away, waving the flag as the carts without horses began to push in the hands of several people. The dense formation of the Xiliang army in front of him got out of the way, and at this time, Guo Yan also rode back to the army, jumped off the horse and patted the big yellow crossbow that passed by him, and said casually: "Good thing!" Turning around and walking into the formation, when the eyes around him looked over, he slowly pulled out the ring knife on his waist as he walked, held it in his hand, and shouted: "There is nothing to say, we are the Xiliang Army, and we have made mistakes with Dong Gongrong, but when we meet the enemy, it is your life and death-"

In the battle, he didn't need to ride a horse, he took a shield from the side, walked up to the third row with his own soldiers, held a sword and a shield, and waited in formation.

Nearby, the creak came to a halt with the wheels, and the brown-haired, short-quartered Han Romans skillfully pulled the strings and crossed the crossbow, when they were still free civilians, they also did this in the Roman army, but now they have changed sides, and there is nothing uncomfortable.

On the opposite side, the Roman stragglers and youth soldiers held shields to escort the ballista and slowly advanced over, Guo Yan measured the speed of the opponent's movement, calculated the distance in his heart, and was about four hundred zhang, he suddenly raised his knife, and a voice shouted nearby: "-Shoot!" ”

Bang Bang –

The strings sounded one after another, and dozens of black shadows flew over in rows. Over there, the young Roman foot soldier who was still pushing the ballista or raising the shield almost subconsciously tightened his body, and the spear-like crossbow bolt was directly nailed to the shield, and in the next second, the shattering and splashing opened, and the body behind it was pierced together.

Some crossbow arrows landed on the opposite side of the ballista, only to hear the sound of banging, the entire crossbow body was smashed apart, the escort team looked at the distance, after being stunned, immediately turned around and ran, there is still a maximum distance of dozens of zhang, there is no chance to fight back, continue to move forward, basically send to death.

"The ballista cannons of the Celes can shoot so far...... Severus was also stunned at this moment, and he laughed slightly: "Then just push it over, dozens of crossbows can't stop my warriors." ”
