Yusuf turned his head to look at the procession outside the city, turned and descended the wall. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

About three quarters of an hour later, the grain convoy arrived at the city gate, and the officer leading the team shouted to the city gate, and then showed the paperwork to the general on the city gate.

The general confirmed that it was correct and ordered the city gate to be opened.

The gate was slowly opened, and the officer who led the team shouted behind him, and led the team into the gate, everything was the same as usual.

The soldiers at the city gate couldn't help but show contempt when they looked at the guards who were passing by lazily in front of them.

However, a soldier suddenly saw the 'garrison soldier' passing in front of him, and his eyes flashed with a palpitating cold color, and he couldn't help but be stunned. Just when he was stunned, nearly 1,000 'garrison soldiers' who had already entered the city gate suddenly launched and killed dozens of soldiers near the city gate with lightning speed, and those dozens of soldiers fell in a pool of blood before they could come to their senses.

Immediately, these men dressed in the armor of the Roman garrison rushed up to the city gate, and the Roman defenders were quickly routed by surprise.

At this time, the mournful alarm bell sounded loudly. Yusuf, who was about to have dinner, got up. The soldiers beside him couldn't help but show a blank look.

"Not good!" Yusuf shouted, hurriedly put on his armor, picked up his weapon, and rushed out of the office with dozens of personal soldiers.

As soon as he rushed out of the gate, he bumped into an officer who came in a hurry.

"What's going on?"

The officer hurriedly said, "Oh no! The enemy army has captured the East City Gate! ”

Yusuf frowned, "How many are there?" How did they capture the gates? ”

"Ten thousand people! It's those grain delivery teams just now! ”

As soon as he heard this, Yusuf completely understood, and said with a look of chagrin: "We are all fooled! Go and tell the Spartan Legion to fight back immediately! ”

"Yes!" The officer promised to leave.

"Come back! Order the Twelfth Legion to go to protect the granary immediately! ”

"Yes!"

Yusuf thought about it and led his own army towards the eastern gate.

When Yusuf arrived not far in front of the eastern city, he saw that his own soldiers were routing towards the city, and the Wei army's iron cavalry was surging in.

Yusuf frowned and muttered, "It's too late! ”

At this moment, an officer rushed over and reported: "General, the Spartan regiment has arrived!" ”

Yusuf's eyes lit up, and he immediately looked down the street to the side, and saw 20,000 Spartan soldiers hurrying over.

It should be noted here that these 20,000 Spartan Legion soldiers belonged to the Second Spartan Legion mentioned earlier, but only 20,000 were currently in the city, and the other 30,000 had participated in the siege of the Wei Iron Cavalry a few days ago the night, and were now on their way to Qinxifeng.

In addition to the 20,000 Spartan soldiers, the defenders here also included the soldiers of the Twelfth Legion, which had suffered considerable losses in previous battles, and now had less than 40,000 men.

Just as the Wei army entered the city, more than 10,000 Spartan soldiers rushed over from the side streets and hurriedly launched a counterattack.

The two sides scuffled near the city gates, and the sound of killing shook the sky.

The battle lasted about a quarter of an hour, and the surging Wei cavalry knocked the disorganized Spartan army back and forth.

Seeing this, Yusuv decisively ordered one section to be used as cover, and most of them retreated to set up a front.

The Wei army's iron cavalry surged through the narrow streets, like a mountain torrent surging in a narrow river, thrilling. The continuous surging impact finally completely defeated the more than 2,000 Spartan soldiers who were responsible for the break.

Immediately afterwards, the iron hooves swept by, and although the soldiers of the Spartan army resisted desperately, they still fell under the surging tide of iron horses, such a scene was like the tragic scene when the manpower and the heavenly power were fighting.

Just when the Wei army's iron cavalry broke through the more than 2,000 Spartan soldiers who were responsible for the break, nearly 10,000 Spartan soldiers finally laid layered, interlocking, and extremely strong defensive lines on the narrow streets.

More than six thousand shield-spearmen were at the heart of this defensive position.

Thousands of horsemen rushed towards the Spartan Legion line, and the roar of the iron hooves against the ground was like a rolling wave, and the whole city seemed to tremble.

The soldiers of the Spartan Legion looked a little nervous and even more excited when they looked at the wave of Wei cavalry in front of them. The general Yusuf, who was standing behind the military formation, only held the handle of the sword, his expression was firm, and his brows were furrowed.

The archers of the Spartan army fired arrows at the iron horse, and under the rain of arrows, the Wei soldiers fell from their horses, and the neighing of the horses came and went.

However, this did not stop the wave of attacks of the Wei army's iron cavalry, but only made this wave of attacks even more ferocious!

In the blink of an eye, thousands of iron horsemen were close at hand, their spears in their hands tightly, their lips pursed, their eyes wide and staring at each other; The Spartan Legion soldiers held their breath.

Rumble! The wave of iron cavalry slammed into the Spartan front, and the scene roared, and the whole city seemed to tremble violently, and the Spartan army line was shaken, but it did not collapse.

The Wei cavalry attacked the Spartan army in close proximity with spears, while the Spartan army attacked the Wei cavalry in front of them with spears under the cover of large shields.

One by one, the Spartan soldiers were stabbed by the spears of the war riders, and the Wei army also had people constantly stabbed and dropped off their horses.

The two sides were at a stalemate for a moment, and the iron cavalry took the initiative to retreat.

At this moment, the main force of the Wei army had all entered the city.

An officer covered in blood galloped to Xu Huang's war horse and reported: "General, the enemy Spartan regiment formed a defensive line on the main street, and our army attacked once, but it was not captured, and the losses were not small!" ”

Xu Huang frowned. didn't say anything, and immediately climbed the city gate tower, Xu Tie, Xu Yue and other generals followed Xu Huang.

Xu Huang glanced into the city, and saw that tens of thousands of Roman troops were converging on the three granaries, while more than 10,000 Spartan troops were blocking the main street, but there were two small alleys on both sides of the main street that only allowed two people to pass side by side.

"General, did you get around these two alleys?" Xu Tie suggested.

Xu Yue frowned and said: "This alley is extremely narrow, if there are a thousand people to defend, it will be difficult for our army to pass!" ”

Xu Huang frowned, carefully observed the situation in the two alleys, and said categorically: "Order the fourth and fifty thousand teams to bypass these two alleys!" ”

"No!"

Immediately, 20,000 troops of 50,000 or 6,000 men each rushed along the gallop under the city walls towards the two alleys, while the first and 20,000 men lined up in the streets to attack.

When the 40,000-strong team came to the alley, they saw many panicked people in the city running in and out of the city, many of them still dragging their luggage in their hands.

When these people saw the thousands of murderous iron horsemen, they couldn't help but be shocked, and they became chaotic as if they had exploded.

The 40,000-strong team led by Yang Meng didn't bother to pay attention to these people, and quickly entered the alley, and everyone raised their vigilance.

What was disturbing was that as soon as they entered the alley, the atmosphere was eerily silent, and only the sound of fighting in the distance could be heard faintly. The alley is so narrow that it can only be passed by two people side by side, or only by one rider alone, and is flanked by earthen walls of houses about two stories high, and the dust from the houses falls straight down when a gust of wind blows.

A moment later, the forwards of the 40,000-strong team led by Yang Meng went out of the alley, and there were no problems from beginning to end.

Perhaps Yusuf was in a hurry and simply failed to take these aspects into account.

More than 6,000 iron horsemen came out of the alley and immediately rushed towards the nearest warehouse.

Just as more than 10,000 Roman soldiers were busy arranging a defensive line in front of the big warehouse, 6,000 iron horsemen suddenly appeared in front of them.

Everyone couldn't help but be stunned, and then their faces changed, and the leading generals shouted at the top of their voices, and the soldiers hurriedly prepared to meet the battle.

In the blink of an eye, six thousand iron horsemen swept by, and the corpses of the unprepared Roman soldiers were scattered all over the field, and they hurriedly retreated towards the warehouse.

In the midst of the chaos, most of the Roman soldiers retreated into the warehouse.

Immediately, the Wei army's iron cavalry tried to attack twice, but due to the terrain of the warehouse, the iron cavalry could not break through the opponent's defensive line at all.

"General, the enemy army is huddled in the big warehouse, it will be difficult for us to break them!" An officer came to Yang Meng to report.

Yang Meng glanced at Okura, stared at the tiger, and roared, "Damn! Set me on fire! ”

Hundreds of horsemen rushed towards Okura with torches, some carrying clay jars filled with tung oil.

Hundreds of horsemen rushed to the front of the Okura, and threw clay jars and torches filled with tung oil into the warehouse. I saw that one by one the fires were rising, and there was a great tendency to be out of control.

At the same time, the 50,000-strong squad led by Duan Gang came out of the alley on the right and immediately launched a fierce attack on the rear of the Spartan Legion on Main Street.

Caught off guard, the Spartan Front was almost routed by the Wei army's iron cavalry.

As the men and horses of both sides fought fiercely on the main street, fierce flames jumped and shone in the western sky.

The morale of the Wei army was greatly boosted, while the more than 10,000 soldiers below Yusuf were surprised and inexplicable.

"General, let's hurry back to help!" A subordinate general suggested urgently.

Yusuf frowned, "It's late!" Besides, if we move, the front line will not be as strong as it is now, but I am afraid that it will be difficult to resist the rush of the Wei army's iron cavalry! ”

"So, then watch it like that?!" The ministry general is very unwilling to be authentic.

Yusuf said in a deep voice: "This is also a matter of no way! What's more, there are nearly 40,000 soldiers of the Twelfth Legion near the granary, they should be able to withstand it! ”

The flames quickly spread inside and outside the two fields, and some Roman soldiers tried to extinguish the fire, but in vain.

A few moments later, the fire had spread to the prairie and the whole warehouse was surrounded by flames, and the Roman soldiers trapped in the granary struggled in pain in the raging flames, and the terrible screams made the scalp tingle, and the scene was unbearable to witness.

A Roman soldier rushed out of the warehouse with a wail, and fell to the ground after not taking a few steps. (To be continued.) )
