Chapter 725: Cruel Revenge
The Kistt River is an important river in southern Asia, with a basin of nearly 1,000 kilometers, passing through the southern harbor of Ephesus and emptying into the Aegean Sea. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
At this time, the Romans were crossing the river in a big way, and the spacious river surface was densely packed with small boats crossing the river. The north bank was crowded with ants, full of Roman soldiers preparing to cross the river. And on the south bank, the Romans had gathered more than 10,000 troops to cross the river.
Just as the Romans were nervously crossing the river, the water left upstream gradually decreased.
I don't know when it started, the river is very deep, and you can wade through it waist-high.
The water flow upstream is getting smaller and smaller, and the water surface is getting lower and lower.
The Roman soldiers who crossed the river on a large scale cheered, and too many people no longer waited for the ferry, but went down into the river and tread water to cross the river.
"Just speed up across the river!" Many centurions gave orders to wade across the river.
"The gods are sheltered, and the river water is reduced, which is just conducive to us speeding up the speed of crossing the river and chasing Qin Zijin!" Caesar said with joy.
However, Severus's face was solemn, and he called a centurion and ordered: "Take a group of soldiers upstream at once to see what is happening to cause the river to become less water." ”
The centurion was ordered to go.
Pompey's heart tightened, and he hurriedly asked: "Commander, what do you mean is that this river has become less water, and it has something to do with the Chinese people?" ”
Severus kept an eye on the river and hesitated, but he quickly made a decision, "Give me the order to stop crossing the river immediately, stop crossing the river." ”
The generals were at a loss when they heard this, and said in their hearts that it was good to cross the river, and the speed had just been raised, so why didn't they let the river cross.
At this time, the length of the Roman crossing stretched for five miles, and at any given moment, tens of thousands of Roman soldiers crossed the river on the five-mile long river.
Before Severus's order could be fully conveyed, the sound of thunder could be heard from upstream.
He looked up, and a glossy white expanse appeared in his eyes.
Severus was shocked, "Oh no, it's a trick!" ”
"Wow, water!"
"The water is coming!"
"It's a flood!"
The screams of the Roman soldiers immediately resounded in the sky. Whether it is a soldier who has already crossed the river, or is crossing the river, or is preparing to cross the river, he is terrified.
For a moment, the faces of the soldiers turned pale.
At the moment of the arrival of the great water, the surging rush and roaring, and in the face of the devastating force of nature, most of the Romans were shocked and froze on the spot, not knowing how to advance or retreat.
"Retreat, retreat!" Severus ran to the shore, waving his arms and shouting.
In the next second, the Roman soldiers crossing the river were in chaos. There are those who rush forward, those who retreat, and those who collide with each other abound.
"Commander, go!" Pompey seized Severus and withdrew.
The water rushed down, and the waves that crashed on the embankment were more than one person high. At this time, the Roman soldiers were all sober. They all ran wildly, but it was too late. Two legs, how can they run through the rushing flood.
When the flood peak, which was more than one person high, pressed over, thousands of Roman soldiers were wiped out in a single shot. In a single volume, thousands of Roman soldiers were devoured.
Compared with the passage of the flood peak, the tens of thousands of Roman soldiers who had crossed the river just now were gone. The surface of the river has become clean, and there are no boats or people, which is cleaner than any major purge.
Not only within the river channel, but because the flood peak came too quickly and too big, it had already rushed out of the river, and the boundaries on both sides were affected by a large number of people.
When the flood peak passed, the whole ferry was covered with silt. The Romans in the distance on both sides of the river survived, and where the flood peak passed, there was nothing to see but water.
Hong Feng came and went quickly. In the blink of an eye, the flood water that had washed out of the river receded, leaving only patches of silt. There are also corpses stuck in the mud, and occasionally the limbs sticking out of the mud can be seen still shaking, and it is clear that there are lucky ones who are not dead.
Most of the Roman soldiers survived, and the Romans who were swept away were estimated to be more than 10,000, mostly soldiers who had just crossed the river.
The Romans who survived the catastrophe looked blankly at the calm of the river, and because it was so fast, it seemed that they were just dreaming about the tragic scene of the catastrophe just now.
Severus has become a chicken in the soup, and the glorious bloodlines around him are not much better. But I'm still alive.
At this moment, the muddy ground began to tremble after the flood, and in the distance on the opposite bank, with the sound of rumbling horses' hooves, a group of soldiers and horses appeared.
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! The soldiers who had crossed the river to the south bank shouted and became confused.
During the flood just now, these soldiers scattered to avoid the flood, and at this moment they are scattered on the south bank, scattered in a patch of sand.
A red steed took the lead, blood splattered everywhere it passed, and Roman soldiers spurted blood and fell to the ground.
Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao, Xu Huang, Yan Liang, and Wen Chou, they have been in ambush for a long time. Such a lineup was killed at this moment, and the Romans who were killed immediately turned on their backs.
The Romans had already been in disarray when the flood came, and now they were even more chaotic, and they could not organize the forces to resist at all.
It is said that it is late, that is fast, 20,000 Chinese iron horsemen, in a few minutes, plough the same land, and plow the more than 10,000 Roman soldiers who crossed the river cleanly.
And on the other side, Severus watched the whole process of the massacre of the army. Severus couldn't take it anymore at the time, clutching his throbbing chest and opening his mouth wide, trying to say something but being gagged again.
Hundreds of thousands of Roman soldiers saw the whole process of the slaughter of their compatriots.
The soldiers of the Confederate army on the southern bank, wielding bloody butcher knives, let out a roar of victory on the other side, venting their anger at the defeat of Ephesus. With this great victory, in the hearts of the princes and soldiers, Qin Feng's prestige skyrocketed.
The Union soldiers beheaded tens of thousands of Romans and threw them into the Kist. With the rush of thousands of heads in the river, the alliance soldiers came and went like the wind, and in the blink of an eye, there was not one left. All that remained on the south bank was a headless corpse and a corpseless head in the river.
The Romans on the north shore were mad, driven mad by this cruel act of revenge.
"I'm going to kill him, I'm going to kill him, cross the river, cross the river at once, chase, chase!" Severus roared, jumped, took off his helmet, and smashed it into the mud.
Two days later, Severus's army had finally crossed the river.
And Severus's frightened rabbit carefully guarded the south bank before the whole army crossed the river.
At this moment, the whole army crossed the river, and Severus was a little calmer, so he planned to rush to Ephesus, and at this time, the spies he had sent earlier to inquire about Qin Zijin's news returned.
"Commander, Qin Zi has crossed the river!" Roman spies report.
Now, including Severus, the whole Roman army is eager to tear Qin Zijin apart, and I don't know if Qin Zijin can be torn into more than 200,000 parts.
"Crossed the river? The river that crosses? Severus asked, glaring at the red eyeballs.
The spy swallowed his spit in fright and said, "Commander...... Commander, Qin Zijin's army crossed the Kistt River fifty miles to the west. ”
"The Kisst River!" After a while, Severus realized that Qin Feng had crossed back again, so wouldn't he Severus cross the river in vain.
"Together, more than 100,000 people have been working in vain these days!" When Severus understood, he rolled his eyes in anger. (To be continued.) )
