Chapter 654: The Game-Breaker and the Game-Breaker
The four field horses galloped wildly, the roaring hooves of the horses were still galloping in the field, the weapons collided, and then someone fell, and the corpse was dragged away by the panicked horses, most of the morning, the Roman infantry stopped, formed a defensive formation, and several mercenary cavalry continued to attack, wanting to test the resilience of the Han army's wolf cavalry in a way that hit the bottom.
The constantly moving and changing formations were also covering up the weak points, and the scattered mercenary cavalry fled back, and after regrouping, they fought again, from the early morning to the noon sun, almost never stopped, and the rotating front line, you could see the corpses of men and horses stretching everywhere.
The seven Roman legions trapped in the formation and the Legion of the Praetorian Guard of the King's Banner did not make any moves to break through, and stopped to rest at a distance of several miles, and the silence made people suspicious, but for most of the Roman foot soldiers, the news was not very well-informed, and they were still in a panic and confusion. This old man can still hold his breath, and he still has something to rely on in his heart.
Severus sat under the improvised awning, the sound of fighting and horses' hooves outside was still faintly ringing in his ears, surrounded by regimental commanders dragging red cloaks, standing on the left and right and behind him in military uniforms, watching the development of the situation, stopping from time to time to pass on the news to the soldiers, asking a few words, and then waving away in disappointment, the news outside was almost truncated, which was very embarrassing.
"Don't be in a hurry, the eagle soars in the sky, you need to wait patiently for the prey to come out of the burrow, the Cylius cavalry is strong, they have been hiding without it, the Parthians are compared to them, it is a lamb meets a buffalo, but with such a strange formation, there are not enough troops, it is difficult to eat us in one go."
Outside, the cavalry melee who repeatedly wanted to break the encirclement, Severus didn't care about the death or injury of the barbarians, got up and dragged his purple robe and looked at the northeast: "I can't eat it in one breath, it's hard to say who wins and who loses this war, I still have more than 70,000 people here in Rome, even if there are losses, there are more than them, and outside, there are more reinforcements coming, once contacted, you say, how long can this strange formation last?" β
There was firmness in his cloudy eyes.
"..... soon the balance will tip again in favor of the great Rome, and we will triumph with honor!"
The surrounding generals nodded in unison, and then returned to their respective regiments to urge the soldiers to prepare for defense, and also secretly organized men to prepare for the breakout.
In the northeast, twenty miles away from the wilderness, three armies spread rapidly in the form of a rapid march, Roman infantry on horseback, stragglers and young soldiers on foot, eagle flags on red backgrounds with bronze ornaments in the surging sea of people hunting and displaying, the three Parthian legions formed by Severus to conquer Parthia at the beginning, had fought against the trapped camp for several days before, leaving behind the wounded who were damaged and could no longer fight, there were still more than 27,000 people, and the three teams marched side by side. The Sarmatian cavalry closely guarded the flanks between the three, while constantly conveying the instructions for coordinated combat and marching, and at a distance of fifteen miles, after the scout battle took place in front, they gradually stopped to rest, and began to blow the battle horn while hurrying to replenish their strength.
The trumpet extended.
At this time, the rotating circular front line was in a short period of tranquility, and when the faint trumpet came, Gongsun Zhi's mouth of chewing jerky stopped, and he heard the sound of the battle horn in the distance, at this moment, his expression became indifferent, and Li Ke and Dian Wei next to him naturally felt this change, and they both stopped drinking and the dry food in their hands, and then, the tall figure got up from under a crooked neck tree, turned over directly and ran on the horse, the second general of the guard hurriedly lost something and followed closely, and the five hundred guards wolf riders got up and followed behindIn a moment, the horse's hooves roared, and the movements of hundreds of people attracted the attention of the surrounding Huns and Xianbei cavalry.
"Wolf King, just now it was the battle horn of the Great Qin people, it seems to be from the northeast...... It's their reinforcements, right? Ahunya is willing to fight them again, and this time there will be no defeat. β
He didn't say anything, just quietly looked at the tall back in front of him.
"The direction of the battle over there may be the Bingzhou cavalry, where Wenhou is." On horseback, Gongsun Zhi's eyes didn't seem to have any emotion, just looking at the northeast direction, pinching the reins of his fingers, slightly rubbing the leather, as if he was thinking about something, and everyone around him didn't speak rashly now.
"Lord...."Dian Wei couldn't help but shout softly.
"It's okay, Severus has already rested, I think I'm going to prepare for a breakthrough......"
Gongsun Zhi waved his hand and said lightly, his eyes swept over everyone calmly, but his eyes slowly became fierce: "Immediately order Wuhuan Cavalry, Xiliang Cavalry and Wen Hou to stop the Great Qin people who are coming from the northeast, and not let them kill to pick up Severus, otherwise all their efforts will be wasted, hurry upββ"
The last sentence was almost squeezed out of his throat, and when the herald cavalry galloped away with the order, Gongsun Zhi turned the direction with the reins, and the horse's hooves began to accelerate while pulling out his twin swords from his waist.
The Bow Wolf Rider, the Guard Wolf Rider, Dian Wei, Li Ke, Hui Gui Ni, Ah Hun Ya, and even Xiahou Yuan, who was a little farther away, were also rushing over.
Ahead, the shadow hissed, the figure cloak on his back flew over, turned around and raised the seven-star sword, and looked at everything indifferently: "The Huns, the Xianbei two divisions, and the Cao army tiger and leopard cavalry will follow me to attack the formation, and extinguish Severu's intentions, the white wolf cavalry and the Xiliang iron cavalry will attack from the side and back, and attack the Great Qin King Banner at the fastest speed. β
He clamped the horse's belly, and the words immediately rang out to the extreme: "...... chisel through them!" β
In an instant, the sound of horses' hooves turned into thunder and trampled on the earth.
β¦..
The sound of battle horns was faintly heard.
Severus stepped out of the airy tent on all sides, stretched out his hand and rubbed the blonde hair of the boy beside him, looking in the direction where the battle horn was sounding, the white head was stained, the tips of the hair were swaying slightly in the wind, and at this time his cloudy eyes brightened, he raised his hand, and then gave the order.
"All the legions are in a tight formation, forming a circle, defending every angle, moving in the direction of the king's banner, joining the Roman warriors outside, breaking the myth of the victory of the Cylius all the way, and I am going to ......."
He lowered his head and looked at the little boy who was looking up, and a smile appeared on his face: "....... Capture your father, the scales will always be on the side of the chips, little one, you have to remember that you may be able to use it in the future. β
Soon after, the trumpet of the assembly sounded, and the army all over the mountains marched in neat steps, assembled towards the king's banner, followed the direction of the breakthrough, and moved again, this time, it would be a real battle.
At the same time, five miles away from the Bingzhou army, Lu Bu summoned the Bingzhou Iron Cavalry, and turned around to see the girl who was carrying a crescent halberd and riding a curly-haired red rabbit, and his eyes were fixed: "Your injury is not healed, don't mess around, immediately return to Gao Shun to stay." β
"Oh....." Lu Lingqi rode on horseback, her high-spirited demeanor suddenly stopped, and even Hongling turned to the side, wanting to speak again, but the sound of horses' hooves had suddenly risen, and she galloped towards the field, so she had to drag the crescent halberd and trot back to the trapped camp.
In the formation, the soldiers of the trapped camp have begun to check the equipment, Gao Shun patrolled with his own soldiers for a while, and was also ready to take more than 2,000 people to intercept the three Roman legions that had fought each other, the girl here had just come back, and the young man in the crowd saw Lu Lingqi who had dismounted, and his eyes were full of brilliance, and he hurriedly trotted over.
"How? Did the Great Qin reinforcements come over? Am I right? That Emperor of Great Qin definitely had such an idea, did your father ..... Wenhou receive the order of the military governor and have already greeted him? So what about our side? I think General Gao seems to be preparing. β
After talking a lot without stopping, Lu Lingqi, who was sitting on horseback, snorted: "What can I do, if the Great Qin dwarf comes, of course he will be beaten." β
"Naxun is with you, the soldiers and horses are chaotic, and one more person by your side can always protect you."
"You...... Again. The girl's cheeks turned red, looked at the man standing in front of the horse's head, and turned her face away from the horse's head quite uncomfortably: "You can't even beat my own soldiers....... forget it, follow up, I can't say who protects whom." β
The last sentence was still as thin as a mosquito, Lu Xun still heard it clearly, smiled honestly, and then quickly ran back to the back of the camp, hurriedly put on his armor, rode out on horseback, and chased the girl.
The atmosphere of the war became more and more intense, the Roman royal flag began to extend in the field of vision, and the loose phalanx of foot soldiers everywhere was also gathering intensively, towards the west, there were scouts running everywhere, and the order riders who conveyed the order were also among them, half an hour ago, Zhao Yun had already received the military order, pinching the cloth, he looked indifferently at the Roman foot soldiers who also formed a circle.
"Herald! Prepare to attackβ"
"Yes!"
The tilted scales are in the tranquility before the war, gently swaying, on countless strings that are extremely tight, and may fall to the bottom.
At this time, under the same sky, a forgotten army stood fifty miles northwest of the battlefield, and a queue of 20,000 foot soldiers walked slowly, in the desert field, as if there was no end in sight, but at this time most of them were sitting on the ground, and only a few patrolled around.
Bury the pot to cook.
Everywhere was the sound of snorting and drinking hot water and soaking dry food, along the way, as a new army that had not been established for a long time, not a single battle was caught, and I didn't know what the specific situation was on the battlefield, let alone scouts looking for them to pass on the news, just like they were the only people in heaven and earth, but the mood of rushing to the battlefield and marching blindly made everyone nervous, and experienced generals were no exception.
Wu Anguo, who had a broken wrist and a hammer, sat down with the porridge soaked in sticky dry food and sat down: "Old Pan, are there any people from Daqin?" Or did your mother take the wrong path? Like Liaodong. β
With a mushy beard and a shake, Pan Feng turned his big round face and squinted at him: "I'm afraid, let me tell you, back then, if I didn't get lost without my old Pan, Xianbei and the Xiongnu would have been sinicized so quickly?" Then Bingyuan and Guan Ning have a chance to settle down in Shanggu County? Then Wang Lie has a chance to run to my lord's house? β
"Can it be the same? Now we're on our way to the battlefield......."
Pan Feng patted him on the shoulder with a serious expression: "Don't be afraid, my mother said that I am blessed...... Eat, eat, eat! Then he continued to bury his head in the porridge and eat the porridge.
Just as the team was eating, the scouts released outside ran back quickly, sending out warning signals along the way, Pan Feng raised his head: "Make a fuss, don't treat the fleeing civilians of Daqin as enemy soldiers and horses." As he spoke, he licked the bottom of the bowl, and someone had already run over in front of him: "General Qiqi Pan, the army of the Great Qin people has discovered us." β
In the direction that the scout pointed, there was a black line at the end of the skylight, which was quickly pushed towards this side, and the army on the right was also rushing towards this side. The soldiers of the new army who were still eating here hurriedly got up from the ground, and the guys who were eating didn't want to eat, picked up their weapons and began to line up under the cheers of the captain and Sima, in the midst of the noise, Pan Feng directly threw the pottery bowl, grabbed the giant axe on the ground and ran towards the war horse with Wu Anguo, when the latter turned over and got on the horse, he suddenly turned back again, Wu Anguo shouted: "The enemy is fucking coming, what are you doing?!" β
"Helmet! I forgot to take the helmet! β
The big-waisted figure picked up the horn helmet on the ground, buckled it on the top of his head, and then came back and got on the horse, holding his head high and touching the beard that was still stained with dry food residues on his mouth, his eyes swept majestically over the soldiers around him, and waved his arms: "...... sons!" Today, the ...... of meritorious deeds
The words were sonorous and powerful, and he looked ahead, two Roman legions, totaling 30,000 people, were in formation two miles on the opposite side, and the eagle banners were lined up.
Pan Feng opened his mouth slightly: "...... chance to ....... my mother, so much?!" β
