Chapter 1236: Breakthrough (1)

As soon as he finished speaking, a thin, high-pitched whistling sound sounded in his ears, the sound of arrows tearing through the air as they flew at high speed. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 The faces of the seven changed as soon as they could react, and they fell from their horses almost simultaneously.

Immediately, a dozen people dressed in green linen clothes stood up from the grass not far away, and hurried towards the Wei scouts, these people were armed with strong bows, a scimitar at their waists, and their faces were painted with green resin, and their skills were abnormally strong, these people were not ordinary people, but hunters living on the border between Asia Minor and Jerusalem.

They are a Central Asian race, but they believe in Catholicism, and are good at hunting and warfare, and the Roman Empire organized them into a special army, somewhat similar to the Wei army's Jinyi Guard troops, numbering 10,000 people, called 'hunters', and the 'hunters' troops belonged to the Roman Empire's forbidden army.

More than a dozen 'hunters' came to the side of these horses that had lost their owners, and checked the corpses of the Wei soldiers, seven Wei soldiers were lying on the ground, each corpse was stuck with the above feather arrows, and three of the corpses had feather arrows through the throat, which showed the superb archery skills of these 'hunters'.

Just as the dozen or so 'hunters' were inspecting the corpses of the Wei soldiers, the two 'corpses' suddenly burst out and slashed a 'hunter' in front of them to the ground with a knife. The 'Hunters' were shocked and hurriedly drew their knives and fought with the two seriously wounded Wei soldiers.

The two Wei soldiers were seriously wounded and beheaded five more opponents in succession, and finally fell under the opponent's scimitar.

The 'hunters' hysterically stabbed the corpses of the Wei soldiers more than a dozen times before stopping.

One of the 'hunters' said with trepidation: "These Wei troops are really terrifying! ”

A person next to him nodded, and said with a pale face: "I have never seen such a fierce soldier!" No wonder the previous battle empires didn't take much advantage! ”

When the first arrow sounded, Xu Huang felt the seriousness of the situation.

The squadrons were immediately ordered to prepare for battle, and at the same time the 3,000 cavalry of the forward battalion were ordered to attack aggressively to the east.

Under the leadership of the general Yang Meng, the 3,000 cavalry immediately galloped out of the depression, and after only a few miles, they met the thousands of Roman cavalry that suddenly appeared. The two sides immediately started a big battle.

Under the bright moon, I saw the cavalry on both sides rushing and fighting like a torrent of surging water.

The battle lasted only a quarter of an hour, and the Wei cavalry routed the Roman cavalry in front of them.

Yang Meng led the cavalry to chase down the Roman rout.

When they chased them to the outside of a sparse forest, Yang Meng realized that something was wrong. Countless black shadows surged out of the trees, and there were faint groups of cavalry moving in the directions on both sides.

Although Yang Meng had the word 'fierce' in his name, he was not stupid, and he immediately led the cavalry to retreat towards his side.

Two quarters of an hour later, Yang Meng led his men back to the hollow.

"General, there are a large number of enemy troops to the east! I don't know how many people there are! Yang Mengyu reported.

Xu Huang frowned, and said with a cold expression: "What a Roman emperor, he actually played a trick for me to get away with!" ”

"General, the current enemy situation is unknown! Should be out of battle as soon as possible! Xu Tie said urgently.

Xu Huang said proudly: "Even if we withdraw, we will kill from the front!" ”

Xu Tie was startled and asked urgently, "General, are you going to kill from the east?!" ”

Xu Huang nodded, and Duan Gang and Yang Meng on the side were very excited when they stepped on.

"But isn't that too risky?!" Xu Tie questioned.

Xu Huang said: "Not necessarily! Maybe the east is the enemy's weak link! ”

"If the general's judgment is wrong, then"

Xu Huang said categorically: "The eldest husband's horse leather shroud is also deserved!" All right! I've made up my mind! ”

A quarter of an hour later, Xu Huang led nearly 50,000 Wei cavalry out of the depression, and the 50,000 iron cavalry formed three arrows on the left, center and right and surged straight towards the east.

When nearly 20,000 Roman cavalry discovered this situation, they showed a trace of panic, and immediately met the surging Wei cavalry.

The Wei army's iron cavalry roared and quickly smashed into the Roman cavalry, and the momentum was almost capable of pushing mountains and reclaiming the sea. In one go, he crushed the 20,000 Roman cavalry in front of him.

The 20,000 iron cavalry led by Xu Huang galloped to the outside of the woods, only to see that the Roman army had already built several infantry defense lines outside the woods, and there were many shadows in the woods, and there seemed to be many people.

Xu Tie, who was following Xu Huang, said urgently: "General, the enemy front is solid!" Let's bypass our army! The enemy, mainly infantry, can't stop us! ”

Xu Huang said proudly: "How is this different from running away? Besides, I'm going to give the Romans a little color! The order went down, and the cavalry team divided into three waves, alternating attacks! ”

Xu Tie was shocked, "General! ”

Xu Huang said confidently: "You don't have to worry! Although the Roman army's front was strong, it was still a little thin! And the army in the woods, I think eighty percent are suspicious soldiers, otherwise they would not have risked laying only three lines of defense! Alright, execute the order! ”

Six thousand horsemen slowly lined up in front of the Roman line, and the fourteen thousand horsemen behind it had been divided into two parts.

The Romans formed three lines of defense against the woods, each with the characteristic shield spearmen of the Roman army at the front, followed by a row of pikemen, the spears of which were like a forest, which made people shudder.

In the rear of the pikemen were archers, and by the way, the Romans were somewhat different from the Wei army in terms of long-range weapons, and they were basically armed with bows instead of crossbows.

Not because they didn't know how to make crossbows, but because they thought that bows fired more frequently and were more effective at killing, and that the longbows they made with a special method didn't have a range lower than those of regular crossbow arrows.

The Roman army's front did not refuse to resist the horse, and the battle flag of the Roman army was fluttering on the three fronts of the Roman army, which was written in Roman script, the words 'Third Spartan Legion', it turned out that the Roman army in front of Xu Huang was not an ordinary Roman army, but the elite of the Roman army, the Third Spartan Army.

The six thousand iron horsemen slowly moved towards the Roman army in a linear formation, the pace of the war horses was very neat, and the faces of the soldiers were cold, giving people a heavy sense of oppression. The Roman army, on the other hand, was as imposing as a mountain.

When the six thousand iron cavalry were still more than a hundred steps away from the opponent's front, the leading general shouted violently.

The six thousand iron horsemen shouted violently, like a flash of thunder.

Six thousand iron horsemen burst out, rolling up the sky full of smoke and dust, like a volcano bursting out, and like a huge wave rolling.

The Roman army couldn't help frowning, and the shield spearmen on the first line couldn't help but tighten the big shield in their hands.

Sun Jian, the 6,000 iron cavalry, galloped to a place only 60 paces away from the Roman army's line, and the thousands of cavalry who rushed in front of him sent a wave of arrows at each other, so that at the same time, the Roman army's crossbowmen also fired arrows at the Wei army.

The rain of arrows on both sides staggered in mid-air, nearly 100 Wei soldiers fell from their horses, and more than 100 Roman soldiers were shot to the ground.

The two sides fired three arrows in succession, and the Wei army was close at hand. Immediately afterwards, I saw that the two thousand Wei cavalry who were rushing to the front suddenly divided into two parts and galloped towards both sides of the line, and at the same time shot at the Roman army line with horse archery skills.

Almost at the same time, the Wei army's iron cavalry that followed behind violently pulled out the barrier knife, and a terrifying momentum that could destroy the world and the earth erupted, surging towards the Roman army line.

At this time, another wave of arrows rained in, and nearly a hundred iron horsemen fell violently, and they were instantly submerged in the torrent of iron horses on their side.

The torrent of death composed of 4,000 iron cavalry slammed into the Roman army line, and the entire Roman army line shook violently, and many Roman soldiers were knocked out by the huge impact force, but there were also many Wei army iron horsemen who fell off their horses because of the inertia of the impact.

The Wei cavalry slashed the Roman army with their swords, while the Roman shield spearmen and pikemen desperately attacked the Wei cavalry, and the killing sound shook the sky.

The iron cavalry of the Wei army slammed into the Spartan army's shield and spear front like a storm.

The two sides engaged in a fierce battle, the sound of killing shook the sky, one by one the Wei soldiers fell from the war horses, and the soldiers of the Spartan army were cut to the ground by the barrier knife, and the sky was covered with blood.

The first attack wave of the Wei army attacked violently for almost a quarter of an hour, and although the Spartan army's front was crumbling, the Wei army's iron cavalry, which had exhausted its impact power, could no longer break through the Spartan army's shield and spear line.

The first attack wave of the Wei army quickly circled to the sides and retreated.

At the same time, the second wave of attack of the Wei army set off a wave of attacks.

In the blink of an eye, the wave of attacks collided with the shield spear line of the Spartan Legion, and the entire front visibly shook.

The Wei army repeatedly attacked the shield and spear front of the Spartan army, and the momentum became more and more vigorous, like a landslide, like a tsunami, and even the timid did not dare to face the wave of attack of the Wei army.

At the same time, on a hill not far from here, thousands of men and horses were standing silently in the night, and the first person was the Roman general Schneider.

He's going to be here! It seems that the Roman army has indeed been planning for a long time to completely annihilate Xu Huang, the iron cavalry that went deep into their hinterland!

"General, the Spartan Legion front is about to collapse! Hurry up and let the main force of the Spartan Legion ambushed in the woods come out to meet you! One of the generals said urgently.

Schneider smiled bitterly and said, "If the main force of the Spartan Legion is really in the woods, how can I only lay down these three lines of defense!" ”

The general was stunned for a moment, and exclaimed: "General, what do you mean?"

Schneider nodded, "There are only twelve thousand Spartan soldiers in the woods!" The flags in the woods are just suspicious soldiers! Come! ”

A herald immediately appeared in front of Snyder and saluted, "General! ”

"Send someone to urge the leading generals of the various armies! The success or failure of this battle lies in this move, and you must surround the Wei army within half an hour! If anyone misses the plane, I will dedicate his head to Your Majesty! The surrounding generals couldn't help but feel a pang in their hearts.

The herald answered and hurried down. (To be continued.) )
