Cavalry has always had an advantage over the infantry, even if the shield wall is erected in the face of the infantry, as long as the cavalry dares to bear the loss, use the first batch of cavalry to attack, break through the shield wall of the infantry organization, and the cavalry behind will inevitably make the battle turn into a massacre on horseback and slaughter standing on the ground.

Ki Bru Wei. Luce. Scipio. Calvers' mouth opened wide, and a hint of fear appeared in his eyes.

The Imperial cavalry suffered some losses, mainly the first to charge the knights, some of whom were killed while in the air, and only a few who were able to get up after rolling to the ground were killed.

From the moment the shield wall was breached, the battle was actually decided, but the knights had no intention of stopping, they waved their weapons and carried out a long-overdue killing, until the last Roman who could still stand, and the battle stopped.

After the battle, the knights on horseback partially dismounted, checking on their companions and making sure that the enemy was really dead. When encountering a Romans who did not lose their breath, they would use a dagger to kill them. When they encounter a companion who has not died in battle, they will beckon someone to come and carry them away.

"Nine people were killed, and twelve were seriously wounded."

When Tang De heard the report, although he had been prepared in his heart, his face still gloomy. If he hadn't retired from the military rank of military marquis, understood what it meant to meet races with races, and knew that he should not back down when provoked, how could he be a mercenary to do such a seemingly unprofitable thing?

At the end of the battle, the Romans did not make any drastic moves because all their men were killed, and they seemed to accept the facts calmly.

"This is the gold coin they gave, and the saying is to ask for the collection of the warriors who died in battle." Wu Shao was holding three money bags in his hand, he shook them, and said, "A total of one hundred gold coins." ”

Donde didn't say anything, he looked at the Parthians and Bactrians.

It was their custom for the Romans to hand over gold coins, and in a sense recognized the power of the imperial cavalry. In their values, the victor can have everything, including the disposal of the spoils of war, so that the Romans who die in battle, whether they are armor, weapons, or corpses, belong to the winning side. Handing over the gold coins is actually a kind of redemption.

After a seemingly meaningless fight, Don felt more, including Parthia, Bactria, and Rome...... and other non-imperial people, who showed a more respectful attitude than before.

"The general." Ki Bru Wei. Luce. Scipio. Calvers toasted a glass of wine and said, "We are from the Roman Republic, and this time we have come to the East for the purpose of carrying the envoy. ”

"I'm not a general." Tang De had to explain his identity, since Li Xin did that great thing in Loulan Kingdom, pretending to be an identity that did not match his empire outside was also included in a violation of the law. He said calmly, "You are not looking for us. ”

Ki Bru Wei. Luce. Scipio. Kalvers was stunned for a moment, then said no more.

The Parthians and Bactrians seemed to be worried about what Donde might misunderstand, and came together to explain and promise to prepare everything that Donde needed. Finally, they asked some questions together.

"Entering the country of Kangju?" Tang De shook his head and said, "We didn't receive a similar order. ”

In fact, Tang De's team only knew that they had taken a fork in the road after entering the Kangju country, they needed to go to the North Sakya District, but there was no way to go straight from Wusun, and there was a large swamp between Wusun and the North Sakya District.

Miratis and Apollodas seemed a little disappointed and a little glad when they heard the answer.

The current Parthia and Bactria were fending off the attacks of the Seleucid Empire, and there was no extra strength to look to the east. At such a juncture, Maudon pounced on the east with his army, which was actually quite uncomfortable for Parthia and Bactria.

The combined forces of Parthia and Bactria had resisted the Seleucid Empire's onslaught, and the war between the two sides gradually reached a stalemate. The Ptolemaic dynasty to the west of the Seleucid Empire seems to be unwilling to lose Syria, and the Ptolemaic dynasty is preparing for a new round of war? In this case, the Seleucid Empire would soon need to turn west again, as the Ptolemaic Empire was a greater threat to the Seleucid Empire than Parthia and Bactria.

Why did Milates and Apollodas be so respectful to the Romans? This was because the Roman Republic was engaged in diplomatic activities in the Seleucid Empire and intended to persuade Antiochus III to temporarily suspend war with Parthia and Bactria. In this case, Rome's actions were clearly more favorable to Parthia and Bactria.

The Roman Republic was wielding the big stick of money by financially supporting countries that they thought they should support, so that not only in the Balkans, along the Aegean Sea, but also in many countries in Central Asia, the Romans could exert influence.

It's almost Kirusrivi. Luce. Scipio. While Calphus was on his mission to the east, the Second Punic War between the Roman Republic and Carthage was set in motion and entered the ********** phase. Because the Romans wielded money, there were obviously more people wielding weapons against the Carthaginians on the side of Rome this time.

By the end of the feast, Kirusrivi. Luce. Scipio. Calvers once again found Donde, and he said, "We are the envoys who are going to your country, and we are responsible for our own safety until we meet the warriors of the Empire, and after meeting you, you should protect us according to custom." ”

It's pure nonsense, even if the social circles of the Romans have such conventions, if there is no one on the imperial side, then Gyruslivi. Luce. Scipio. Calvers is also nonsense.

"......" Tang De hesitated, in his capacity, he didn't know if there was such a convention on the imperial side, so he had to ask for help and looked at Wu Shao.

Wu Shao was obviously also hesitant, and after a while, he said, "Then they can follow us to the station, and the chief officer there will make the determination." ”

In this way, the Romans and the Don De group went from fighting to death to being companions of a team. They had been searching for nearly half a month before they came across another cavalry team that had gone out.

"Romans?" Song Tian was confused: "Where did you come from?" ”

Tang De didn't introduce too much, just asked: "Where is the big camp?" ”

Song Tian didn't ask any more questions, and said, "It just so happens that we are going back too, and we will go together." ”

The Romans found something from the mutual contact of the imperial cavalry, and they were puzzled by it.

"It's strange that they belong to the same army, but they don't seem to belong to each other?" Ullius said something strange and then added, "They also differ in their uniforms. ”

Ki Bru Wei. Luce. Scipio. Calvers observed this, such as Tang De and Song Tian, although the flag patterns of the two cavalry teams were roughly the same, they still had different insignia.

It should be said that so far the Romans have not figured out one point, that is, whether it is Tang De or Song Tian, they can't actually be regarded as the regular army of the empire, but a mercenary team that was unified after being hired by King Qin.

A camp is built next to a small lake, and from a distance you can see the smoke rising into the sky. The camp looks quite large, with neatly arranged tents, but there is a more obvious arrangement.

"On the left is the garrison of the envoy corps, and on the right is the garrison under the command of King Qin." Song Tian put down his raised hand and said, "We need to enter through the gate on the right." ”

After the people in the camp found out about them, a team came over, and they learned that in addition to Tang De and Song Tian, there was also an envoy from Rome, and they quickly went back to make a report.

The person who led the envoy troops was Yu Fanjun, and the commander on King Qin's side was Feng Zheng, and the two were reported in no particular order because they were staying in the same tent.

"Rome? Where is the country? Feng Zai looked at Yu Fanjun and said, "We are considered a feudal army, and I don't have an imperial position, so you should come forward." But you don't mind if I go and watch it along, do you? ”

Yu Fanjun knew what Feng Zai was thinking.

Qin Fengguo has always hoped to make more friends to get more help in the construction of the feudal country. In addition, they also know that they should not make enemies with too many local forces, and they should maintain a certain level of friendship even if they are cheating.

"Let's go together." Yu Fanjun stood up with a smile.

Ki Bru Wei. Luce. Scipio. Calvers saw Yu Fanjun and Feng Zheng in front of the gate. He paid close attention to the decorations on Yu Fanjun and Feng Zheng, hoping to distinguish them from them.

Yu Fanjun is wearing a very orthodox imperial suit, because he is not a nobleman, he will not have any badges on his body.

Feng Zheng was wearing the suit style of Qin Fengguo, he was a nobleman in the feudal state, because the empire began to popular family crests, and the Feng family actually designed their own family badges.

In addition, the military flag of the empire is a phoenix pattern, and the military flag of Qin Fengguo is a Xuanniao pattern. Luce. Scipio. When Calvers was observing the garrison, all he saw was the phoenix battle flag hanging high on one side and the Xuanniao battle flag hanging on the other.

Ki Bru Wei. Luce. Scipio. Calvers originally thought that the person with the family badge would come to contact, but what he didn't expect was that the non-nobleman felt insulted for a while.

"What's that? Insult??? Yu Fanjun didn't know where Rome was, and which onion it was, he used not so proficient Greek, and said: "I am a genuine imperial officer, although he is a nobleman, but he is a nobleman of the feudal country, and he does not belong to the imperial officer sequence." ”

Ki Bru Wei. Luce. Scipio. Kalvers was obviously stunned, and couldn't quite tell what the difference was.

Feng Zheng was extremely unhappy with Yu Fanjun's statement, but he did not refute it.

In fact, if you count it seriously, Yu Fanjun is indeed more "noble" than Feng Zheng, all because Yu Fanjun can represent the empire in some aspects, but Feng Zheng can only represent the feudal state of King Qin, and King Qin's feudal state is only one of the feudal states of the empire from the legal system.

Because I can't tell the difference, Kis Srivi. Luce. Scipio. Unable to do the trick, Culvers once again identified himself and said, "We deserve to be treated in a way that matches who we are." ”

Yu Fanjun nodded in approval very seriously, and then looked at Tang De and Song Tian who were escorting the Roman envoys, with deep meaning in their eyes.

The number of Roman legations was not large, including those hired halfway, and the number of the entire legation was about 500 people.

"What's that card on them?" The person Yu Fanjun asked was Tang De, and he had just figured out that it was Tang De's cavalry who first encountered this group of Romans.

"It was a kind of flag of the Romans," replied Donde. ”

"Huh? Something like a plaque is a military flag? Yu Fanjun had an incomprehensible meaning: "Sure enough, there are more races in the world, and there will always be all kinds of strange things." ”

Don described in as much detail as possible how his men came into contact with the Romans, and what happened after the contact. What he said would be recorded, and after being verified, it would be sent back to the Hongru Pavilion in the imperial capital.

"You're very nice!" Yu Fanjun's face was full of seriousness, and he said: "Those knights who died in battle, they will get all the treatment that the Wehrmacht deserves, and even get more in terms of treatment." And you ......" he looked at Don De and asked, "If I'm not mistaken, you're a lord, right?" ”

Tang De raised his head slightly and replied, "Exactly." ”

"Then congratulations." Yu Fanjun laughed: "Someone will find out what kind of country Rome is, and the rewards you will get are also linked to the strength and weakness of Rome." All in all, you have maintained the dignity and pride of the Empire, and you will be rewarded accordingly. ”

"That's the beauty of empire, isn't it?" Tang De looked satisfied, and he said: "So the people who go abroad will always stop thinking about the empire all the time, and are willing to pay everything for the empire, isn't it because our efforts will always be rewarded?" ”

The word "always" is a bit untrue, but as long as it can be verified, it is true that you will get as much as you give. This is also a national policy formulated in the era of great expansion, and it has the same meaning as encouraging the people to explore outward, and in some ways a set of policies have been promulgated in order to achieve a kind of willful influence that is linked and meaningful.

"Rest well!" Yu Fanjun looked at Feng Zheng who was approaching, and said to Tang De: "We will pull out the village soon, this time we will directly enter the demarcated battle zone, and it is rare to have a relaxed time." ”

Tang De was stunned for a moment, he hesitated for a moment, and said, "That Roman envoy? ”

Yu Fanjun said indifferently: "I will arrange for someone to be sent to the Western Regions." ”

Tang De had to care, because whether the Roman envoys could reach the empire, just like Yu Fanjun said before, how much they paid in order to get how much they were rewarded. (To be continued.) )
