Facing the Hades Palace, I am afraid that the people who are the secret guards have the most right to speak.

When Tu Tianjiao appeared in front of everyone again, he once again regained his sallow face, and his voice was also a strong male voice. Of course, there are very few people who know the identity of Tu Tianjiao's woman, and if Yan Ruyu hadn't met the injured Shen Yun and Tu Tianjiao during the pursuit on the outskirts of the imperial capital, it is estimated that she would not have known this secret.

Tu Tianjiao's questioning of Fan Luopei was even more professional, and after just a quarter of an hour, Fan Luopei was already sweating profusely, as if he could not bear the pressing momentum of Tu Tianjiao's questioning. But Tu Tianjiao said a little lightly: "What he said is true, it seems that Bohai Hou is in big trouble." ”

Van Roopey couldn't help but slander in his heart, of course what I said is true, you can even know that the nest on the crooked neck tree in front of my house was taken out when I was thirteen years old, what else can I hide?

Shen Yun ignored this, asked Ouyang Fu to take Fan Luopei down to rest, and then asked directly: "How is the military quality of the Roman Hades Palace?" ”

"What do you think of the military literacy of our Secret Guard?" Tu Tianjiao asked rhetorically.

Shen Yun pursed his lips, looked at Yan Ruyu, and said cautiously: "General military quality." ”

Tu Tianjiao glanced at him: "That's not it." The Hades Palace, like my secret guard, is responsible for spying intelligence and assassination full-time, which is a general level for the battle array. ”

Without waiting for Shen Yun to breathe a sigh, Tu Tianjiao added: "However, according to Van Luopei, this new Hades Hall Lord Leona seems to have invited several military generals from the Roman governor of the province of Asia, Mano, and. It seems that the Roman god of war Rovinis was also sent back by her, and it is unknown whether he is among the horse bandits in Jidan Mountain at the moment. ”

Shen Yun was stunned: "Where did you know that?" What did Van Roopey say? ”

Tu Tianjiao said in a deep voice: "I asked in detail about the behavior of the Fan Luo Pei horse bandits in the past half month, including the entry and exit of personnel. Judging from it. ”

"Judgment?!" Shen Yun held his chin, a little disbelieving.

"You'd better trust my judgment!" Tu Tianjiao saw that he was skeptical, and added, "Most of the information that the secret guards hand over to the palace every day is summarized and sorted, and basic judgments have been made. ”

"Alright! I believe in you! Shen Yun touched his nose embarrassedly. Obediently, even the information that the Emperor of the Han Dynasty reads is judged by your secret guards, as the Marquis of the Han Dynasty. Can I disbelieve it? Wouldn't even His Majesty the Emperor doubt it?

"Then the great credit that Van Roope said was that Rovinis?" Shen Yun asked.

"It's not!" Tu Tianjiao pursed his lips, "He is just the small leader of Ji Xian Mountain, and he was only a low-level officer of the empire before. How much vision can be seen. The great credit he said was that there were only more than 200 old and weak people stationed on Jiyi Mountain, and Leona, that is, the 'King of Qitian', was there with a dozen Death Scythes. He wants you to divide your forces and take the back of the horse bandits. By the way, I caught the 'Monkey King'! ”

Tu Tianjiao obviously didn't think much of this credit. In her opinion. The identity of "King Qi" is far less shocking than the "Hades Hall Master".

But for Van Luopei, "King Qi" actually dared to be the enemy of the Han Dynasty and intercept the Han merchants, and this level of "horse bandits" was already the number one enemy of the Han Dynasty.

For Shen Yun, the "Qi Tianwang" horse bandit is just a horse bandit, and he himself does not value the significance of exterminating the "Qi Tianwang" horse bandit to the people in the Loulan area. However, from the point of view of a pure military general, Van Rope's advice is not undesirable.

This is because people are in different positions and have different modes of thinking. Maybe Shen Yun destroyed the "King of Qi". In the future, the people and merchants here will set up a shrine for him, and there will be different versions of the legend in a few hundred years. There was even a god who blessed the merchant traveler - but all this was not in his consideration at all for Shen Yun now, and he didn't value these things at all. The only thing he had to think about was how to defeat the tens of thousands of horse bandits commanded by Roman generals with more than 4,000 men!

"How many of the generals of the Roman province of Asia do you think will come here? And what are the capabilities? I need more detailed information. Shen Yun unceremoniously asked Tu Tianjiao for information.

Tu Tianjiao pondered for a moment and said, "Although I have always been in charge of Roman intelligence, and I also know a little about several well-known generals in the provinces of Asia, I still have to ask Ruyu to judge who will follow Leona's application to come here. She is now in charge of intelligence analysis of the Yue's rebellion and Roman collusion. ”

Shen Yun was stunned, well, there is really a clear division of labor.

After the concentrated analysis of Tu Tianjiao and Yan Ruyu, these two women who are now quite high-ranking in the secret guard made the following judgments: The most powerful in the Roman province of Asia is the Red Cloth Legion, stationed in the city of the sun, the commander of the legion is the governor of Mano, and the most famous thing under his command is undoubtedly to create a large encirclement in Moganhu and Feiyun Castle to the northern frontier front of the Han Dynasty, and almost made the Roman god of war Rovinis, who almost made the Han Hu Gong follow! This person was not caught after the rout of the Yue Clan's army, it should be that the Hades Palace specially sent someone to pick it up, and this person is also the closest to here, after all, it has been nearly three months before and after, and it shouldn't be a big problem to come from Dingbian and Jiankun. But considering the importance of Rovinis to the Yueshi, it is still a question whether the Yueshi will let him return to China, so it may not be him.

The next to be commanded among the horse bandits is the deputy captain of the Red Legion, Batias, and the owner of the Roman double-headed eagle badge Carmen. Gipurus. Dandy.

These two men, Batias was born as a slave in the province of Egypt, and was appreciated by Mano during the conquest of the province of Tunisia, and gradually promoted to the top, and now he is deeply involved in the strategic actions of the Great Han, and the possibility of him coming here is also very high. However, he is good at strategy, and his tactical achievements are not revealed, so it is difficult to tell whether he commanded or not.

Carmen, on the other hand, was a native of the Sultanate and believed in the religion of the Caliphate, and his mother was also a caliph, but his father was a high-ranking nobleman of the Roman Senate and was born into the family of Gipurus. He started as a chief in the Red Coats, fought against the Germanic barbarians, fought the Huns, and fought against the Viking barbarians of Scandinavia. A truly battle-hardened general, he was personally summoned by the Roman Emperor and awarded the Roman Double-Headed Eagle Badge. Promoted to the Grand Chief of the Red Cloth Legion, he is equivalent to the commander of the Han Empire! This time, there were many rumors within the province of Asia that Rovinis had not completed the plan of the governor of Mano and that it was very likely that he would be sent to the East to complete the next plan. Counting the time, he's probably already here.

Of course, there were many generals under the command of Governor Mano, including four high-ranking generals from Governor Mano's hometown of Bavaria. In addition, there were many high-achieving students from the military academy sent from the Roman capital, as well as generals who graduated from Aristotle's mentorship...... It would not be wrong to say that Mano's team is full of talent.

"A horse bandit is a horse bandit, not an army. No matter how powerful their generals are. Without a competent soldier, it is just a matter of paper. Yan Ruyu finally concluded.

Shen Yun had to admit that what Yan Ruyu said made sense. Especially after Wen Cui sent someone to report on the situation of the war.

Just when Shen Yun was discussing with Tu Tianjiao and Yan Ruyu, Wen Cui in front of him had already finished fighting with the horse bandits, and the horse bandits were now completely curled up by the three bridges next to the Ganges. Didn't go any further.

As mentioned earlier. The Ganges is not wide, the water is not deep enough to trek, and there was a wooden bridge over the Ganges before. Because the Ganges River is really not a natural hazard and the current is not urgent, the Han army has no intention of destroying the bridge. In addition, the horse bandits were familiar with the geography of this area, and after a night of emergency repairs, two more bridges were built to cross the river. In general, the banks of the Ganges are now connected.

And in the previous encounters. The military literacy of the horse bandits is much, much worse than that of the flying cavalry guards. The Red Fox Department under Shen Yun's command. The horse can bend the bow and ride and shoot, rush to break the enemy, and the dismounted horse can hold the shield and form a formation, and the one who is invincible. More importantly, the Han army's undefeated prestige gave the Han soldiers unlimited internal motivation. Just imagine, the two armies are facing each other, the Han army has no scruples, the momentum is compelling, raising the shield to block, and then it is to cooperate with the seamless flat knife and stab, and then block and then stab directly, without too many fancy tricks, all relying on the invincible momentum of the soldiers and the skillful killing skills of hard training on weekdays. On the other hand, there are horse bandits who are forced to fight in order to make ends meet, and there is no comparison between the two.

Therefore, although Wen Cui only has a song of men and horses, whether it is in a horse battle of thousands of people or a foot battle of dozens of people, the Han army has the upper hand. And as a group of brave creatures, the army is a "monster" that needs to be fed with uninterrupted victory! "Once you win, the next victory will become natural and easy, and once you lose, it will be a mountain of defeat.

No matter how strong the horse bandits were, they were only facing a merchant with insufficient protection capabilities, and once they encountered a well-organized group like the Han army, it was only a matter of time before they were defeated.

On a low hill beside the Ganges River, Shen Yun rode his horse and looked at both sides of the Ganges. The afternoon sun had turned to the west, the water of the Ganges River was a little golden, and on both sides of the bridge, four or five infantry phalanxes were densely displayed with horse bandits. Three in the shape of a product stood in front of Shen Yun, each phalanx was about a thousand people, and there were more than a thousand cavalry wings on both wings of the phalanx. And on the opposite bank of the Ganges, two dense phalanxes of cavalry, and scattered rangers on both wings. Plus the denser herd of horses behind the phalanx - well, horse bandits, horse bandits, how can you be called horse bandits without horses?

Speaking of which, the horses owned by these horse bandits are really amazing, and one person and two horses are not enough to describe. However, they set up infantry formations on one side of the Ganges and cavalry formations on the other, isn't this a clear intention to send these infantry to death?

The combined number of horses on both sides exceeded 30,000, and it looked like a sea of horses. From Shen Yun's point of view, he couldn't see where the end of the horse bandit army formation was. However, Shen Yun didn't think that such a phalanx could have any effect. Not to mention that the horses of the horse bandits are not as good as the Han army, even their knights' combat power is far inferior to the Han army. At this time, they placed the infantry in a square array on this side of the Ganges, and the cavalry phalanx on the opposite bank, this is not an obvious idea of running away if they can't beat it?

As we all know, the phalanx is the simplest formation in the military formation, a large group of peasants can put up a phalanx, and it is also the most suitable formation for people who do not have much military training. But it is undeniable that the phalanx is the most powerful formation in the army, especially in the infantry army. Because it is the basis of all formations, there are countless variations that can evolve from the phalanx. In the Great Qin Empire, which fought all over China back then, the most famous of its army was the invincible infantry phalanx!

However, Shen Yun was very skeptical that this gang of horse bandits could exert the true power of the phalanx.

In the upper reaches of the Ganges. Zhao Xin's song also swept the front here, and far away, the Han army showed a situation of being surrounded by two wings. Surround the horse bandits on the edge of the Ganges. Although there is no way on the other side of the Ganges, the nearly 6,000 horse bandits on this side of the Ganges do not want to cross the river smoothly.

Of course, the bandits' formation was not without merit. After passing through the battlefields of Feiyun Castle and Zimu, it can be seen at a glance that the real elite of the horse bandits is the most prominent cavalry phalanx standing on the other side of the Ganges, and among the infantry on this side of the Ganges, the infantry phalanx with the most zigzag shape is also the elite of the horse bandits.

Is it elite. It can be seen from the actions before the battle. The infantry phalanx at the head of the camp was very quiet, and the posture of holding the shield was also very peaceful, unlike the other two phalanxes, which had a bustling feeling.

I watched it for a while. Ma Jing said to Shen Yun: "Ministry commander, this horse bandit on the other side of the Ganges River is a headache." ”

Atletico also understood that the three infantry phalanxes were the victims, and the only thing to worry about was the horse bandits on the opposite bank. If only they were allowed to run. It's quite cumbersome to chase.

Shen Yun looked up at the sky. Said: "It's really troublesome, but I don't know if Zhongli's guy can come around from the flank in time to defeat the horse bandits on the other side." ”

Again, the Ganges is not wide and it is not difficult to cross. Therefore, Shen Yun had already arranged for Zhong Lisi, who was the Chinese army, to cross the river from the upper reaches with a group of cavalry, and then go around to the flank of the horse bandits to attack. In Shen Yun's opinion, the horse bandits in front of him were indeed vulnerable.

But what Shen Yun was really worried about was that with such an obvious balance of power, could it be that Leona, the master of the Hades Palace, couldn't be stupid and couldn't see it? Even if she can't see it. The generals invited from Rome can't see it? This is not scientific!

At this time, Ouyang Fu raised the military flag from a distance, and the prancing horse battle flag of the Red Fox Department of the Flying Cavalry Guard had already begun to flutter.

Atletico knew the time was up. Then he said in a deep voice: "Forget it, no matter what conspiracy the enemy has, defeat them face to face!" ”

Shen Yun nodded: "Martial arts in the world, only fast is not broken!" I'd rather see how many of these so-called Roman greats were. Command, cavalry rush! From the front, crush them! ”

Zhang Ji, the big man, suddenly screamed excitedly, personally took the giant hammer, and knocked it on the cowhide drum behind him.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! ”

The drums sounded, the wind was cold, and the Han army shot straight at the two wings of the horse bandits from the left and right like two disconnected arrows.

Since the phalanx in your middle is the strongest, then I will break through from both sides. War is not gambling, Shen Yun will not stupidly use his robe to attack the strongest point, defeating the enemy army is the king.

The Han army that shot in from both wings was not at all a match for the so-called winged horse bandit cavalry, and neither could those infantry arrays, the cavalry and infantry were easily torn apart by Zhao Xin and Wen Cui, and then the cavalry cavalry bows were constantly thrown, flat, and direct to continuously thin and crush the infantry arrays, making those infantry arrays even more chaotic, and then breaking through the formation first.

The whole battle process is as accurate as a textbook. Zhao Xin relied entirely on bravery, cutting into butter like a hot knife, while Wen Cui was like a precise arrow, cutting into the phalanx of horse bandit infantry that had been broken into a sieve. The first phalanx of horse bandit infantry wanted to support the two wings, but they were quickly cut off by Zhao Xin and Wen Cui's troops, and even broke through, and then easily crushed.

In less than half an hour, the entire battlefield was already shattered, and the horse bandits had begun to crumble. And it was only at this time that the horse bandit cavalry army on the opposite side finally made a move. And their actions really made Shen Yun "startled".

"Invitation to war?!" Shen Yun settled down, and finally confirmed that he was not mistaken, the horse bandits on the opposite side actually unfurled a huge banner inviting battle, and took the initiative to retreat ten miles, let the Han army cross the river, and fight to the death again!

Are they brain-teasing?

This was Shen Yun's first feeling.

All the Han troops were also stunned.

What's the situation? We cut melons and chop vegetables and wiped out 6,000 horse bandits, and the rest of the horse bandits still dare to invite them to fight? And took the initiative to retreat ten miles to give up combat space?

There must be a conspiracy here!

That's what everybody thinks. Whether it is Shen Yun or Fang Cheng, or Ma Jing, Yan Ruyu, and Tu Tianjiao, all the generals of the Han Army think so.

Because it is impossible that after the Han army showed such a powerful cavalry combat ability, they actually dared to invite battle? Is it really the birthday boy who hanged himself, and he thinks he has a long life?

However, I don't know if it's a coincidence, just after the horse bandits on the opposite side began to retreat ten miles in an orderly manner, Zhong Lisi's cavalry arrived, and when they wanted to pursue, they also saw the banner that had been conspicuous in the horse bandit cavalry formation. This made Zhong Lisi unsure for a while whether to rush forward first.

But this hesitation is all of a sudden.

"His grandmother's credit has been taken by Zhao Xianzhi and Wen Cui, and we can't run this trip in vain. Pang Fatty, you hold the flag and rush for a while! Zhong Lisi still made a decision.

Pang Tong has been following this brother who is not dealing with him, but in fact, he is close, and he is shaking his fat at the moment, and he begins to try to break through with a company of people.

But this time it went wrong. As soon as the cavalry of the flying cavalry approached, a company of cavalry on the opposite side also met them, and the two sides exchanged shots and slashes on their horses, and the two sides actually fought a draw!

Moreover, the cavalry on the opposite side was covered in armor, and his equestrian skills were also good, and the riding bow and bow power used was faintly higher than the first line of the Han army. This can be seen from the degree of arrows on the bodies of several wounded Han soldiers!

"Hey, it's actually two stones and a half bow!" Pang Tong grinned and pulled out an arrow from the crack in his armor and said to Shen Yun.

Pang Tong attacked this company, two were shot dead on the spot, two were hung off their horses when chopping, and sixteen of them were slightly injured like Pang Tong who relied on armor to resist arrows and chops, and were regarded as the only company that was seriously injured in this battle.

"It seems that this is their killer feature!" Fang Cheng whispered to Shen Yun.

Shen Yun looked at the arrow that was pulled from Pang Tong's body and was silent, and only said after a while: "This is not an oriental-style arrow, go and call Colonel Tu and Miss Yan to see if anyone knows the secret guard." I wonder who we're up against! (To be continued......)
