The smell of blood raged over the field, and the slaughter was pervasive, mixed with the footsteps and shouts of the Romans in the field, who walked among the corpses, checking for possible pretense of death, or not dead, and then moaning. The wounded were killed, and someone picked up the blood-stained broken flag and delivered it to the commander.

"This is the script of the Cyrius, what a strange font......"

How did the generals of the surrounding small legions gather, the battlefield has come to an end, leaving only some auxiliaries to gather the spoils, when they came, on horseback, Freitensis was looking at the unfurled banner, his half-squinted eyes were full of disdainful smiles, "You say, did the cavalry of Celeus who escaped have been caught, let's guess?" ”

"There are not many Cylius who have escaped, and Tiberiuta's cavalry is strong, and I guess he is already on his way back to bring the commander news of victory." The general who spoke, called Aulus, was still bloodied, and this legion was known for its bravery, he wiped the blade of his blood, glanced fiercely at the corpses in the field, and after speaking, inserted his sword back into its sheath.

Freitensis nodded with satisfaction, and then gave an order, "Quickly clear the battlefield and gather the soldiers, too long has passed, reinforcements from the Cylius may come from other directions, we must leave, first go to the northern steppe to avoid the pursuers, and then go east to find the upper valley ......"

The words stopped abruptly, looking forward, in the direction of the east, everyone saw that he stopped talking, and they all looked at the sight, the sound of horses' hooves galloped from far and near, and a Roman spear cavalry of hundreds of people rushed towards this side in panic, bringing the message in a panic.

Reinforcements from the enemy came, and Aulus was split in half by a tall and burly Cyrius. The cavalry centurion who fled back witnessed all this, and his own number was not much, and the opponent's cavalry was full of 1,000 people, so he decisively chose to retreat, but was still chased and killed by the man with a long knife.

"In this way, the Cylius of the East already know about us, the other side is not very numerous, and the proud Roman eagle is never afraid of provocation, let's fight again, let Celeus remember the name of Rome."

After hearing the news of Aulus's death, all the surrounding generals fell silent, and Freitensis smiled and waved at them: "Let the flag bearer give the order, form a formation, and greet the Celeus." ”

However, more news came from the rest of the directions...... His words choked up, and the cavalry of the messengers continued to rush, and to the southwest of the river, thousands of Cylius troops were marching in this direction. To the southeast, a cavalry of 5,000 men was rapidly approaching. On the north side, a cavalry of about 5,000 people also galloped towards this side, and with the addition of the east side, it was basically surrounded on three sides.

The generals under the command of Freitensis suddenly exploded, and the messages were shocking to hear.

When he first came to Handi, he had 20,000 people around him, and after the first battle with the current Cyrius, there were still more than 16,000 people, and it was not bad to compare with the other party, but as an experienced army commander and commander, he naturally understood his own shortcomings.

"The Eastern Cylius really pay attention to cavalry...... Why is the news of the scouts only arriving now? There was a hint of anger in Freitensis's words, and in his tone, everyone had lowered their heads, so that they did not dare to answer. After a moment, Freitensis pursed his lips and pondered his tone: "Now that we have shown the Celeus people the strong muscles of the Empire, it is time to show our civility and courtesy. ”

"It is a misunderstanding to collect the corpse of the valiant general Cylius, send it to the other party, and send an envoy to express the greetings of the empire, there should be no personal emotional grudge between the two countries."

"If the other party doesn't believe it?"

"The Cylius don't want to die more." Freitensis spoke softly, looking at the neat military formations in the field that were converging, and his words were full of confidence.

Then he looked to the southwest, where soldiers and horses had arrived.

*******************

At the same moment, the army of the Xiliang Ma family swept in.

"Hurry up! Hurry up—"

The horse's hooves were churning, and the footsteps were roaring on the southwestern boundary of Yunzhong County, where spears were lined up, and these elite soldiers from Kansai carried iron spears and large oars (shields) that were longer than their heights, and the characters 'Han' and 'Ma' were written on both sides of the Daxu in a cool summer breeze.

Under the banner, a young general dressed in a silver-armored lion helmet urged the team forward, and soon after, in the distance, he saw in the distance the beacon smoke burning at the end of his vision, and the ground was full of dazzling colors and corpses.

It's late......

This thought flashed through his heart, and then he gritted his teeth and widened his eyes, looking at the army that had regrouped in the viscous red, and immediately stepped forward and roared savagely: "Array! ”

The trumpet sounded.

The team of the winding dragon began to move and line up in the footsteps under the banner, a strange iron spear was pressed, and a large shield stood on the ground with a bang, someone slapped the big shield with a weapon, and let out a roar before the battle, and the cavalry roared into two strands to protect the two wings of the phalanx.

The formation bears a striking resemblance to the phalanx of Roman soldiers on the opposite side.

"Ready to ......" gritted his teeth, raised his tiger head and swallowed a heavy gun, the word 'advance' had not yet been exported, and Pang De rushed to this side with a knife in the rear, shouting: "Young master, don't do it." ”

When he came closer, when Ma Chao looked over, he plunged his long knife into the soil under the horse and arched his hand: "There are too many people in Daqin, we only have five thousand, and if we start a war rashly, there will be too many casualties, the main force of this side should be Gongsun Zhi's people, we are just a guest army and should not take the initiative." ”

"When foreign clans enter the Han realm, they should be beaten in the eyes of my Ma family! There is no distinction between host and guest. Ma Chao raised his gun and pointed the tip of the gun at the other party: "They have come from a long journey and have fought for a long time, it is the best time to attack, if you are afraid, retreat to the side." ”

Ignoring the tip of the spear he pointed at, Pang De took a step forward, pointed to the military formation that was gathering and retreating over there, and shouted loudly: "The lord sent me to come with the young lord, just to persuade him, look at the other party, how can there be a declining appearance, Xiliang is already barren, and how many people are killed and injured are distressed." ”

The sun shone through the cracks in the sky, and the shadows of the white clouds walked on the ground, as far as the eye could see, the Roman army crossed and retreated in an orderly manner, and a large number of heavy guards defended this side.

Ma Chao clenched the barrel of the gun, slammed it on the ground, gritted his teeth and roared: "Since you don't fight, then follow them, keep your distance, send someone to find the white wolf's army, and come over to surround it together." ”

The cavalry galloped out.

When the sky is slanting in the west, the bow and cavalry of Xianbei lock slaves are pressed from the north, and the cavalry of the Huns to Bei in the south also have arrived at the designated place, and in the east, far away from the place where Ma Chao is, less than 20 miles away, there are also more than 5,000 cavalry phalanxes pressed over, with the words "Han" and the banner painted with a huge white wolf waving in the wind, hunting and whistling.

Gongsun Zhi finally arrived late on this day.

As night fell, a diplomatic envoy from Rome entered the camp almost simultaneously with a corpse and a fast horse carrying the news from Ma Chao.
