At this time, Terry Pavilion was standing on the flagship located in the rear and watching the battlefield situation, "Strange? Why haven't you seen the opposing naval fleet attack until now? ”

Call an officer, "You immediately send a patrol boat to raid into the Wei army's water village!" ”

"Yes!" The officer said yes and then stepped back. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

"Wait! Send some patrol boats around to see if there's anything out of the ordinary! Report back as soon as you find something! ”

"Yes!"

Terek turned his attention back to the battlefield in front of him.

The other side.

"General, the infantry teams are ready!" An officer rushed to Zhou Tai to report.

"Excellent! Pass the order, let go of the defensive fronts, and let their fleet rush in! You can catch turtles in the urn! ”

"Yes!" The officer answered the promise and ran down.

No sooner had the officer left than a scout officer rushed over.

"General, the patrol team in the north has found a large group of Roman army troops landing on the rocky beach!"

Zhou Tai was taken aback, "What?!。 How many people are there? ”

"About fifty or sixty thousand!"

"Not good! The enemy has also given us a call! ”

Zhou Tai thought for a moment and resolutely ordered: "Order the catapults that are lying in ambush on the shore to shoot and repel the enemy fleet immediately!" Send six infantry troops of 1,000 men to support the left and right batteries! The cavalry immediately attacked and harassed the main forces of the enemy who landed on the shore! Remember! You can only harass, don't fight hard! ”

"Yes!" The herald answered and hurried down.

The Roman naval fleet destroyed the second line of defense of the Wei army with heavy artillery fire.

At this moment, who on both sides of the shore suddenly burst into flames, the sound of thunder was endless, and the rain of bullets whistled and fell into the Roman naval fleet, and the whole sea was boiling, look! A warship was hit by several stone projectiles at the same time, and several figures flew in the sky with sawdust when it landed, and then the warship tilted to one side and soon sank.

The Roman fleet suffered a sudden blow and suffered considerable losses.

Hurriedly retreated.

On the battery, the Wei support troops entered the battery and immediately launched a counterattack, which soon repulsed the Roman commandos, who were not superior in numbers.

Subsequently, the entire battlefield calmed down.

The Roman fleet also did not withdraw, but did not continue the offensive either.

The Wei army, on the one hand, used a considerable number of troops to defend the frontal Roman fleet, and at the same time urgently deployed troops to deal with the main force of the Roman army landing from the rocky beach in the north.

At this time, 3,000 light cavalry under the leadership of Li Tao, the general of Zhou Tai's department, arrived near the rocky beach, and the moon had already jumped out of the clouds. Through the hazy moonlight, I saw the crowd of people surging on the rocky beach, and tens of thousands of horses were gathering on the beachhead. All the Wei soldiers couldn't help but be surprised.

"General, assault?" An officer asked.

Li Tao shook his head, "The rocky beach is not conducive to the cavalry impact!" ”

Glancing back, "Follow me!" Then he beat his horse and ran in the direction he came.

Tens of thousands of Roman troops landed on the rocky beach, to be precise, it should be 60,000 troops, of which 40,000 were officers of the Eighth Legion, and the other 20,000 were naval officers.

A general rushed to the front of Lielund and reported: "Your Excellency, all the departments have landed!" ”

Lielund couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, "Good! The herald scout team did not have to be responsible for guarding the surroundings, and immediately moved in the direction of the Wei army's water village! "Yes!"

Accompanied by his generals and a group of personal soldiers, Lielund finally landed.

Leaving 10,000 naval soldiers to guard the beachhead and responsible for transporting supplies, he immediately led another 50,000 horses in the direction of the Wei army's water village.

This rocky beach is not too far from the Wei army's water village, only a dozen miles, and it is already in the desert, and because of this, the Wei army did not expect that Lielunde would land here.

At this time, the main force of the Roman fleet in the south was still facing off against the Wei army's coastal defense forces.

At present, the Wei army's strength to defend the water village is only 10,000 officers and soldiers of the Eighth Army and 10,000 naval officers, and the strength is at an absolute disadvantage compared to the Roman army, and the situation is very unfavorable for the Wei army.

Lielund led 50,000 soldiers across the border between the sand dunes and the green land, and half an hour later, the army approached the Wei army's land base. Lielund did not attack immediately, because the information fed back by the scouts showed that the Wei army was already on guard, and he had to wait for the catapult behind him to be transported.

An hour later, it was already dark.

Relund was still anxiously awaiting the catapult's arrival.

At this moment, an officer covered in blood galloped into the middle of the battle. Relund was taken aback by this, for this officer was the one in charge of escorting the catapult.

The officer rushed to the front of the Lielund war horse, rolled off the war horse, and reported urgently: "Your Excellency General, it's not good! Our catapults were all robbed by the Wei cavalry! Most of the escort team was killed! ”

"What?!" Lielund was shocked.

A general on the side said urgently: "Your Excellency, the catapults are heavy, they will definitely not be able to go far!" It should be pursued immediately! ”

Lielund nodded, and immediately sent his generals and all 5,000 light cavalry to pursue the Wei army. At this time, the Wei army was troubled by the difficulty of transporting the catapults.

Li Tao frowned and said, "This won't work!" Pass the order and give up the catapult! Pile all the canisters under the catapult and destroy it! ”

The five thousand Roman light cavalry were halfway through when they suddenly felt the earth tremble violently, and then an earth-shattering loud noise came.

Everyone was startled, and hurriedly reined in their horses and looked ahead, only to see that the sky not far away was fiery red.

The general immediately realized what was happening, and was startled, and ordered the teams to move forward at full speed.

By the time the light cavalry arrived, the Wei army was gone.

The site was a mess, littered with the wreckage of catapults.

The general led 5,000 light cavalry to the scene in a hurry, only to see the wreckage of catapults everywhere, and the Wei army had long since disappeared. The generals couldn't help but feel distressed and angry, catapults are absolutely precious weapons and equipment in this era, and these nearly 100 catapults are a lot of losses!

The general immediately ordered three thousand-man teams to stand guard around the perimeter, and then ordered the other two thousand-man teams to check the damage.

A moment later, his subordinates brought him good news, less than half of the more than one hundred and twenty catapults were really destroyed and could not be used, and the other more than half were only more or less destroyed by the base!

The general was overjoyed and hurriedly sent someone to report to Lielund, and at the same time sent someone to transport the catapult that could still be used to the front line.

An hour later, more than sixty catapults were transported to the front.

Relund felt a little glad in addition to his chagrin.

Lielund ordered the armies to attack immediately.

The war drums characteristic of the Romans rang out, and more than sixty catapults were pushed forward.

Immediately, the two sides fired at each other with catapults.

The battlefield was filled with gunsmoke and loud noises, the fences hit by stone bullets collapsed, and soldiers on both sides were thrown into the air by the power of catapults.

The artillery battle lasted for half an hour, and the fence in front of the entire Wei army's land camp was already in tatters.

However, nearly half of the more than 60 catapults of the Romans were destroyed by Wei artillery fire.

The Romans stopped shelling and immediately launched an assault with a force of 10,000 infantry.

The Wei army stopped with heavy artillery fire, but this did not stop the advance of the Roman army.

The Roman army roared and rushed to the front of the Wei army camp.

At this time, the horn sounded in the Wei army camp, and the Wei army, which had been waiting for a long time, shot together with bows and crossbows.

Under the rain of arrows, I saw that the Roman soldiers were shot to the ground.

After three rounds of arrows, the Roman soldiers were close at hand. The Wei soldiers dropped their bows and crossbows, drew their swords, and greeted them with a shout.

The soldiers of the two sides slammed into each other like a torrent of opposing waters.

Immediately, the sound of killing shook the sky, blood flew all over the sky, and the soldiers on both sides sacrificed their lives to fight.

The Wei soldier slashed a Roman soldier with a knife, and then was cut down by another Roman soldier, the Roman soldier was pierced through the chest by the Wei soldier, and the Roman soldier held his last breath and slashed at the shoulder of the Wei soldier, and then both fell down at the same time; A Wei soldier whose right arm was cut off by a Roman soldier roared angrily, and he fell into a trench full of stakes with his left arm, hugging the Roman soldier's body.

The soldiers of the Eighth Army of the Wei Army showed a completely different will to fight at this time than back then, and in terms of this will to fight alone, it is no longer weaker than the main army of the Wei Army, mainly because the composition of the Eighth Army is no longer the Yuan Shaojun of the year, the original ones have already retired, and the current soldiers of the Eighth Army are all passionate fresh blood, plus the grassroots officers who have been promoted from the first and second army corps, so the Eighth Army will have a new look.

A general beside Lielund said with some surprise: "It is said that the Eighth Army is the weakest of the main force of the Wei Army!" But"

Lielund said indifferently: "The weakest combat power is only relatively speaking!" But our Eighth Legion is no worse than them! ”

The general nodded, pursed his lips, and held the handle of the knife in his palm, with a look of boiling blood.

The Wei army and the Roman army were stumbling near the Yuanmen, the blood was raining all over the sky, the sound of killing shook the sky, and the eyes were full of tragic scenes.

At the same time, the Wei army's catapult bombarded the Roman soldiers, and a stone bullet fell into the Roman army with a roar, and more than a dozen Roman soldiers were lifted into the sky, and the scene was really spectacular.

However, the Roman catapults could not shoot at the Wei army due to problems such as shooting angle and distance, so they had to attack the surrounding targets, and the effect was not ideal.

The Wei battery did not shoot at the Romans, because the catapults were located in a position where the catapults could not shoot at the Romans in this place.

The fierce battle lasted for a whole hour, and the Roman army, exhausted and suffering heavy casualties, retreated.

At this time, the size of the Romans was half that of the previous attack, nearly 5,000 soldiers were killed on the battlefield, and the Wei army also paid a heavy price of 4,000 killed.

Immediately after that, another 10,000-man squad of the Romans began to attack.

The same fierce battle continued for nearly an hour, and the Romans, who had suffered heavy losses, retreated.

At this time, the 10,000-person team of the Eighth Army Corps of the Wei Army had lost nearly 8,000 people, and almost lost its combat effectiveness, and the current garrison strength of the Wei Army here was only 10,000 troops and 10,000 naval officers and men of the Eighth Army Corps.
