Chapter 636: Scorching Wind (1)
The banners of men and horses with bows were held high in the sky, and arrows roared into the field of vision.
The earth is booming...... There was a sound of vibration, the hooves of the galloping horses swirled in mud and turf, the brass dragon head dragged a long red sleeve and fluttered in the advance, and in the rear, the heavy horsemen in scale armor or pierced armor wore iron helmets, and the two thousand horsemen in the horizontal and vertical poles rose and fell with extremely long riding spears, like a huge wave advancing forward, and in the left and right directions of their flanks, the light horsemen without armor were separated, and these cavalrymen wore only a light armor woven with a mane, and they were holding their bows and throwing at the scattered eastern cavalry in front.
"Hunt themβ"
A superintendent of the scattered Wuhuan cavalry shouted Chinese, and the direction of the reins increased speed, and the Wuhuan cavalry running around gradually moved closer to him, turning around from time to time to draw his bow, shooting an arrow, which was pierced on the opponent's shield, and then, arrows fell from the sky, splashing blood.
The Han Governor rode at the Wuhuan man who was dragged away by the falling horse hanging on the pedal rope, raised his hand and shot the crossbow arrow, nailed through the shield of the enemy horseman, looked across the corpse of the fallen horse, turned around and shouted: "Go and inform Lou Ban Dan Yu that the soldiers and horses of the Great Qin people have come, let him do a good ......"
Whoosh β
There was a whistling sound in the air, the sound of shouting stopped abruptly, the overseer's eyes widened, and he looked down slightly at the arrow poking out of his chest, the war horse ran violently and trembled, and fell off the horse's back crookedly, and hundreds of Wuhuan rangers nearby watched in horror as the Han horse fell from the horse, and the punishment for them would be terrifying......
"Ahhh
Some cavalry rushed to their heads, directly turned their horses' heads, and launched a charge towards the surging enemy, and some wandered left and right to keep a distance and draw their bows, and soon entangled with the opponent's light cavalry to shoot, the opponent's body was light, and the body was not as strong as a man, but the arrows shot were extremely accurate, and the dozens of Wuhuan riders who were running quickly broke and fled. And the ten Wuhuan people who rushed forward were crushed by the heavy cavalry in a blink of an eye.
Behind these cavalry, there is a continuous infantry formation, slowly advancing with footsteps, the bronze ornaments on the eagle banner reflect the cold light in the sun, showing the strong combat power of this army, it is one of the three Parthian legions formed by Severus when he conquered the Patian Empire, the hired barbarian cavalry is composed of Sarmatians, heavy cavalry, light cavalry is almost difficult to have an opponent, with the dragon head in front of the heavy cavalry, wearing heavy armor, war horses are equipped, so that the extremely long cavalry spear to the enemy array to attack, The light horsemen guarding the left and right wings were partly composed of Sarmatian women, who were good at bows and arrows, lassoes, and short swords, and to a large extent, more threatening than men who were also light riders.
There was no longer a running Wuhuan ranger in the open field, and the Wuhuan man who had fallen and not died opened his eyes with difficulty, and a horse's hoof fell in front of him, his gaze moved up, and a face with a brown face and a woman's outline looked down with a smile, and then pulled out the weapon on his waist, cut off his head with a sword, leaned out and tied it under the horse's neck, let out a hoarse, savage shout, and then approached in the direction of the dragon's head flag.
The battle came too suddenly.
Wu Huan Shan Yu Lou Ban and the big leader Gu Jin, who were originally chasing and killing the civilians of Daqin and collecting the property, hurriedly reacted after receiving the report of the rangers who fled back, but on the way they shot at the opponent's cavalry on a large scale, and at first they were not inferior to the enemy on the opposite side, but soon after, the Roman infantry array approached, and the dense short spear throwing avoided being surrounded, as Shan Yu, Lou Ban had to order a retreat, and the Sarmatian female knights followed closely behind, obviously not letting them go and leaving like this, For a moment, arrows and blood spread across the field.
At the same time, the Huns in the other direction of the northeast Ahunya were also attacked by two other Parthian legions with the banner of men and horses, and the cooperation between the infantry and cavalry had to make the Huns who only had more than 10,000 horsemen, give up the plan to fight, and in the retreat, the Kushan people on the flank rushed to reinforcements, even though they did not fight with the Romans, but these Kushan warriors still maintained confidence, on the one hand, as a Central Asian power, even if they were hired, the posture was never put to the point of escaping from the battle, on the other hand, after invading the Roman boundary, The three Roman legions were easily annihilated one after another, and they felt that the other side was nothing more than that.
Then, the 8,000 cavalry rushed straight up, and in the next second, the collapse of the whole system's main attack, the Salmatian shock cavalry directly cut through the Kushan infantry phalanx of 5,000 people, and then, the panicked Kushan soldiers were slaughtered almost unilaterally by the Roman infantry phalanx with spears and heavy shields.
"These headscarf-wrapped fools-" Ah Hun toothed red eyes, slammed a horsewhip, and under the language barrier, it was difficult to communicate with these temporary robes, and even issued an order, looking at the defeated Guishan rout, and roared: "Let's go!" β
The banners of dragons and eagles began to spread.
To the south, camels and several unseeable flags were unfurled in the skylight, and nearly 60,000 troops swept in, clearing the Roman civilians on the left, the Xianbei cavalry who scouted the scouts were like smelling bloody leeches rushing towards the enemy, the screams, the blood splashed under the arrows and blades covered the soil, and the charge, the bow and guerrilla shot stopped the Romans, and then they were repelled again and again by the opposing barbarian cavalry, and the huge army array pressed forward step by step again......
Under the bright sun, the arrows and beacons rose into the sky, and the knights wandering in many places, the Parthian cavalry and the Dawan cavalry all rushed to this side, and in the process of their departure, their positions were also rising at the same time with the rapid sound of arrows, and more Roman legions of different banners entered the battlefield.
A huge amount of information came from all directions, constantly rushing in the hands of the scouts, and the rear was their own army, which stretched for dozens of miles.
The news is summed up and brought together.
On June 11, one hundred miles northeast of the right flank, there were three armies of Daqin, Wuhuan and Xiongnu received the enemy, half a day later, the Guishan 8,000 army was scattered, half of them were killed, a day later, the Xiongnu Ahunya and Wuhuan Louban converged together, fought with the enemy again, and lost again.
On June 12, one hundred and fifty miles southwest of the left flank, the Xianbei Division engaged several Great Qin legions, and the mud was disrupted several times to block the advance of the enemy's formation, but they all returned in vain, losing nearly 3,000 Xianbei cavalry, which was retreating and regrouping......
On the same day, the Great Qin soldiers and horses appeared in the west of Palamir, and the rest cavalry and Dawan cavalry were defending against the enemy, and they could not reinforce the Xianbei department in the south.
Fifteenth, Wuhuan and Xiongnu fought again with the three Great Qin armies in the northeast, the Wuhuan department was defeated, the Xiongnu retreated, and two of the Great Qin legions went straight to the right flank of the Western Expeditionary Army, and the situation was dangerous!
Seventeen, the Dawan army was defeated and scattered, rushed to the battlefield, and the rest cavalry retreated to rest!
On the same day, Yu Zhuqi, the general under the command of Xianbei Gui Ni, rushed into the Great Qin army formation, killed the opponent's generals, and he and the two thousand cavalry accompanying him were lost in the enemy formation.
Eighteen.....
Nineteen.....
The breath of heaven and earth became ominous, and the emergency battle reports from all directions converged, looking strange in the huge army marching little by little, and the incredible noise, the scouts carrying the news were running, and the military horses who received the content hurriedly forwarded them, and there were war horses galloping everywhere.
Gongsun Zhi rode on the back of the Absolute Shadow, still holding the earliest information in his hand, and his eyes were usually looking ahead, looking quiet.
