In the spring of the 90th year of the year of China, the border of the Great Wall on the western front was repeatedly alarmed, and Shuzhou (east of the Ural Mountains to the central Siberian region), Muzhou (now Kazakhstan), Xingzhou (Daxia, now Afghanistan), and Yinzhou (northern India) were attacked along the Great Wall. Xiongnu Xindan led 200,000 troops in Shuzhou and Muzhou to attack in Shuzhou and Muzhou, and after the defeat of the Anxi Empire in Central Asia lost the eastern region, it was defeated by the Roman Empire and became part of the Roman Empire, and I don't know how the Romans contacted the Huns, the Roman Empire general Pompey led nine legions, a total of 200,000 troops launched a powerful attack from the territory of the original Anxi Empire to Xingzhou and Yinzhou in China, and landed on the Caspian Sea 100 miles west of Manzhou (east of the Caspian Sea), Four legions of 100,000 men led by Pumars launched an attack on the Chinese border. After plundering the city-states that had sprung up as a result of trade outside the border, he attacked the Great Wall.

This time is a big test of Xian Yushun, along the Great Wall laid down 400,000 troops to focus on defense, heavy artillery hard crossbows, high walls and deep ditches, effectively blocked the joint attack of the Huns and the Roman Empire, but because the border line is too long, or a 10,000-person Roman legion from the edge of the desert to a weakly defended place, through the long ladder across the Great Wall into the country, although in the end by the Chinese military and civilian joint encirclement and suppression, the losses are relatively heavy, several villages and towns were looted by the Romans. When the battle report was presented to Ouyang Xuan, Ouyang Xuan was unusually calm, for the border between the north and the south, it was a million to arrange a hundred people for a mile, and it was normal for there to be omissions. Giving up the idea of punishing the Han family's Wang group, he studied and judged the map for a few days.

Finally, at the court meeting, he overrode public opinion and announced that the imperial drive would be personally conscripted, headed by Li Mu, and the cabinet would be the auxiliary superintendent of the country, and he would lead 10,000 Yulin troops and 100,000 elite divisions from all over the country to personally conquer the area west of the Great Wall, and the logistics would be in charge of Zhou An and the household department.

In this expedition, Ouyang Xuan only brought Ling Huzhang, the general of the Yulin Army, Zhang Hui, the commander of the Jiazi Army of the Southern Army, the commander of the Jiazi Army of the Southern Army, the deputy governor of the Qiang Army, the general of the Zhenjun Army, Feng Ji, the commander of the Northern Army, the general of the Sima Fujun of the Northern Army, Gongliang Tang (Gongliang Shu's great-great-grandson), the former Yulin Military Captain of the Military Department, the Zhenjun General Wei Kui, and the general of the Burmese Army on the march of Sima Fujun, Zhou Zhiyang. In addition, the four brave generals Fei Ji, Sun Zhongshu, Geng Yi, and Zhuo Liang who performed well in the assessment of the Ministry of War.

With Ling Huzhang as the general of the unified army, the Yulin Army and the Chinese Army were directly led by Ouyang Xuan, Wei Kui was the commander of the Left Army, Fei Ji and Sun Zhongshu were the commanders, Feng Ji was the commander of the Right Army, Zhang Hui and Zhuo Liang were the commanders of the rear army, and Gongliang was the commander of the rear army, and Zhou Zhiyang and Geng Yi were leaders. At the same time, it was ordered that the Haibu Army, which had been renamed the navy, send fifty large warships to bypass the Burmese Strait, assemble at the port of Suyue in Inju (present-day Jask, Iran), and enter the inland sea along the coast through the strait to shell the Roman troops on the shore.

A month later, he assembled in Shayin City (now Nukus, Uzbekistan), the seat of Manzhou, and after a short period of running-in training, he swore to set off. The navy also arrived at Suyue Bay earlier, and when Ouyang Xuan headed south, the naval ship formation entered the Persian Gulf through the strait. For the royal expedition with Ouyang Xuan, the whole country of Huaxia has long been accustomed to it, and the ceremony is very simple. After the oath was completed, the 100,000-strong army, with the left army as the vanguard, the rear army behind the palace, and the right army on both sides of the wing, rode south and went straight to the Guanyang Pass (now the northwest mountain pass of Zaland, Iran).

After hearing that Ouyang Xuan was personally driving, the Xiongnu directly withdrew their troops back to the west of the Volga River. Sending an envoy to negotiate peace was sternly rejected by Ouyang Xuan, and the envoy had to go back in a gloomy manner, telling Ouyang Xuan's attitude to Han Xie Shan Yu. In order to preserve the population that had been restored for more than 80 years, Hu Han Xie and his subordinates had to continue to move westward to today's Ukrainian plain, and wrote a letter to Ouyang Xuan, indicating that the attack on China was caused by the coercion of the Roman Empire, and said that the Xiongnu would not attack on the border from now on, to ensure the safety of the Chinese caravan, and sent some valuable gifts with the letter.

The Romans have not learned the Chinese army, especially the arrogant Romans, for the rich Chinese country has long coveted, just secretly crossed the Great Wall after the escape of the hundred Gauls obtained the property has made these Roman nobles crazy, the southern Great Wall along the crazy attack, the dead of men and horses have filled the ravine, and they are still attacking, just under the Great Wall, they have lost five legions and 100,000 people.

Standing at the head of the city of Jiangyangguan, looking at the eagles flying and circling on the Gobi Desert, the smell of rotting corpses under the city hit for a while. He ordered the corpses outside the city to be burned with a large number of incendiary bombs, and the fire burned for three days before it was extinguished. Fortunately, this is only a pass for customs clearance, and only a small number of residents do business with merchants. For the passes on the Gobi Desert, life here is more difficult than in other places, and a division of 15,000 people is stationed here. Guarding the three-hundred-mile Great Wall defense line, looking at their chapped lips, dark faces, and dried arms, Ouyang Xuan felt an indescribable emotion. He bowed deeply to these soldiers guarding the Great Wall, ordered people to erect rows of stone tablets in the city, and made a decree that all the soldiers who came to guard here could engrave their names and places of origin on the tablets. The sword was carved on a black stone tablet: The dust of the Xiongguan Pass is flying at sunset, and the soldiers are loyal and brave to the border pass; Thinking of the clouds on the dust, the city is not moving; The hometown is peaceful and strong, and the wind and sand build a monument; In the coming day, there will be no folding willows, and the dream will be vaguely on the battlefield; Zhuang I Huaxia resisted the revenge, loyal to the country and raised the country's name; Zhuangzai, my Huaxia son, Zhuangzai, I am a border soldier, he will return to his hometown to drink together, and laugh at the wine and dust; In April of the 90th year of China, Ding Mao went out to fight on the border, and saw the hardships of Erlang, and the inscription was here, and he was grateful for his loyalty; Huaxia Emperor Ouyang Xuan inscription.

A poem is written in a chic and free manner, with a feeling from the heart, the font is vigorous and powerful, and the lines are beautiful. After 2,000 years, this stele group has become a world-class cultural heritage, a national treasure guarded by heavy soldiers, and a place where future generations must come to the Great Wall, adding a bright color to the desert Gobi. From now on, it is called the Huangbei Pass, after a hundred years of Ouyang Xuan's inscription, the soldiers of the border led water into the Gobi 100 miles away, planted trees and grasses, and built a city, the name of which is: Huangbei Town (near Kerman in Iran)

After the fire stopped, Ouyang Xuan did not rush to send troops, but patrolled thousands of miles south along the city wall, and finally ordered to send troops to attack the rear of the Roman army at Nanluo Pass (now Sirkhan, Iran), 800 miles south of Jiangyang Pass.

Ten days later, the 100,000-strong army was assembled in Nanluo Pass, which was a pass built on the plain, followed by the border city of Nanluocheng, which was also a trading city. After more than 80 years of development, the population here has reached 500,000, and it is a town founded by Chinese. Because the city was fifty meters high, and because there was a town in the rear, the artillery fire on the Great Wall was relatively dense, and the Romans, after suffering heavy losses, abandoned this place and turned to the Yangguan Pass, leaving only a small number of surveillance troops stationed hundreds of miles outside the city to block trade exchanges.

At dawn, the Huaxia army, which had eaten well in battle, galloped out at the moment when the heavy city gate opened, and Wei Kui led the left army in front of the Roman army of less than 5,000 people outside the city. By the time the strikers arrived at the barracks, the five thousand Romans had already lined up, and Wei Kui did not rashly launch an attack, because they had never seen this formation. Ordered the whole army to line up in a phalanx of archers outside the land of two arrows, and ordered to wind up. After carefully observing the opposing camp again, Wei Kui ordered the whole army to be divided into two parts, left and right, keeping a distance of one stone's throw away, beating horses and attacking with crossbow arrows from both wings, sparing the middle. With Wei Kui's sword pointing forward, 20,000 Chinese soldiers were led by Fei Ji and Sun Zhongshu and outflanked from both wings. Before the Romans could react, the crossbow arrows from both sides rained down in the formation, and the strong kinetic energy of the crossbow arrows easily penetrated the chain mail of the Romans, and the Romans who reacted in the middle began to turn to throw the javelins in their hands on both sides, but the distance of the javelin throwing was less than a quarter of the range of the crossbow arrows, and they could only be beaten passively. The bolt easily pierced through the plank-pressed shield and into the body. It was only one round of attacks, and there were less than three thousand left of the five thousand Roman troops, and the two teams of men and horses crossed their positions behind the Romans, running from the left side to the right and the right side to the left, and the horses did not slow down, turned a corner and continued to gallop towards the two wings of the Roman army, and the remaining Romans immediately formed a tortoiseshell formation with shields. This can't help but remind the Huaxia army of its own infantry phalanx, this expedition, in order to run for a long distance, Ouyang Xuan led 80,000 light cavalry, 20,000 heavy cavalry. Although the tortoiseshell array was raised, the power of the crossbow arrows remained undiminished, and the initial velocity and bullets were a battle of crossbow arrows, constantly penetrating the shield and shooting into the body of the Romans. Due to the protection of the shield, the losses of the Romans were small, and the tortoiseshell formation was still as stable as a rock. When the men and horses on both wings returned to the main formation, Wei Kui ordered that the rear battalions of the left and right armies and the middle army should hold long knives, and the front battalions of the left and right armies would cover with crossbow arrows first, and attack the tortoiseshell formation with long knives from both wings while the other party was unclear.

Wei Kui returned the sword into the sheath, and took off the two-and-a-half-meter-long broadsword from the winning hook, this kind of knife and spear are now the standard configuration of the Chinese light cavalry, plus the sabre made of stainless steel for close combat, the crossbow arrow made of tough iron, and the special aluminum alloy light and high protection armor with famous color, the total weight of the armor is not more than ten catties, and the horse is made of a lighter horse armor made of brown-red special aluminum alloy, with a total weight of only eight catties, which constitutes the standard equipment of the light cavalry. The heavy infantry cavalry is based on the light cavalry, equipped with a set of better protection heavy armor, the total weight of the heavy armor of horses and people is 30 catties, and the protective ability is the same as the soft armor of the Yulin Army, which is used for chiseling formations and fighting in special situations. Due to the special activation metal required by the soft armor to be purchased by the Duliba people through the exchange of graupel energy, and the Duliba people do not have much left, they are also looking for it in the asteroid belt, so it can only meet the needs of the Yulin Army, and cannot be fully used.

As Wei Kui's blade pointed forward, the crossbowmen on both wings came out again, and then missed the distance of the three horses, Wei Kui led the Chinese army and the cavalry with long knives on both wings to kill the Roman army in a wedge formation. The Romans were still in tortoiseshell formations, and because they were facing cavalry, their commanders had to hide in the formation and command, revealing banners with crossbow arrows outside the town. The flag is a wooden crocodile head with a tail made of colored stripes.

Before the Romans could catch their breath after the crossbow bolts, their long broadswords cut through the wooden shields, and the cavalry that followed them then slashed at the exposed Roman soldiers. Wei Kui rushed to the front of the formation, holding a knife in both hands, using the tip of the knife to pick up the shield and kill into the formation, the long knife in his hand was so impenetrable that the Romans in front and on both sides were killed, and the Chinese soldiers who followed behind quickly expanded to the two wings. The already fragile military formation only collapsed in just ten minutes, and when the army passed through the formation, there were less than a thousand Romans who could still stand. Wei Kui pointed at the blade, and the Huaxia cavalry completed the final charge, and the circle horse stopped. Wei Kui ordered the surviving Romans to be mended to save them from suffering. As soon as the battle here ended, Ouyang Xuan came with a large army and asked about the results of the battle, but it was not bad, only more than 100 people were slightly injured when they rushed into battle. After inspecting the battlefield and looking through the equipment of these Romans, he called the officers above the rank of lieutenant to the battlefield.

"Lords, don't be deceived by these Romans, they are nothing but Roman light infantry. It belongs to the lowest combat power class. The equipment of the Roman soldiers was all provided by themselves, so the degree of wealth can be seen according to the quality of the equipment, these people are obviously poorly equipped, the shields are light, the armor is rudimentary, they should be the light infantry of the Roman legions, they are usually untrained, the armor is rudimentary, equipped with javelins, shields of about fifteen inches, and short knives for close use, and there is a habit of wearing wolfskin helmets over helmets. Roman legions consisted mainly of infantry, usually meeting the enemy in phalanxes. The detachment is its basic combat unit, the formation is three horizontal columns, each column of 40 to 60 people, each column is about three steps apart, the detachment commander is on the right side of the middle column, the first row is the weakest combat strength of the young soldiers, the second row is the stronger combat strength of the young soldiers, the last row is the strongest combat strength of the reserve soldiers, this is the most basic detachment battle formation. The Corps operations are basically similar, with a dense formation in front and a loose formation dominated by detachments in the rear, and the dense formation is generally 10 to 15 rows, with 40 to 60 men in each row. When attacking, according to the strength of the opponent, the front row is responsible for melee attacks, and the back row is responsible for throwing javelins, just like General Wei just saw. In each array, there are flag bearers, musicians, and commanders together, and as long as they see the flag, they will be destroyed first, and the morale of the army will be scattered. Every Roman soldier was armed with a short sword, axe and other hand-to-hand weapons, and it was important to take care to protect the limbs of their horses when charging into battle. In the future war, do not rush to kill, you must be like General Wei, from the side bow and crossbow strike, our army still has firearms available. Don't be stingy, take things and people as the basic essentials, do you know? ”。

"No! We will follow His Majesty's teachings." All the generals replied in unison.

"In addition, the infantry formation of our army is evolved from the Roman army formation. The method of breaking the formation, I think you and others already know a lot, so I won't go into details. When encountering the enemy, you must be improvised, the Roman army is slow to unfold, and it can be used". "No!".

"Pass on my order, the whole army continues to move forward, don't open too far distance." From the mountain pass 500 miles ahead (southwest of present-day Arnar, Iran), turn to the rear of the enemy".

The army had just set off and had not yet gone out of a hundred miles, and the Malay newspaper reported that there were already 100,000 Roman mercenaries waiting for sixty miles ahead. Ouyang Xuan had to order the army to form a fan-shaped array of wartime marches, and move forward slowly, Yulin Tanma released a hundred miles with a communicator, not afraid of anything else, what Ouyang Xuan was most afraid of was to use the terrain to sneak attack. But what you are afraid of, you will come.
