Not surprisingly, Duoyin and Faisal's opponents were also killed by the two of them, Duoyin used to be the co-captain of the Western Empire, both in terms of military command and personal force, if it weren't for the fact that he didn't have a backstage and was framed, his achievements would definitely be more than a co-captain.

And Faisal was the leader of a strong horse bandit before following Qin Dong, who had been king of the mountain for many years, and the Huns and the army of the Eastern Roman Empire had nothing to do with him, which shows that his strength and resourcefulness are not comparable to ordinary people, otherwise, he would not have been a horse bandit for so many years without anyone being able to control him.

Starting from the fighting generals, Qin Dong killed five generals of the Western Empire, Duoyin and Faisal each killed one each, and a total of seven Roman generals were killed, which not only caused heavy losses to the coalition army, almost to the point of being unavailable, but also made the morale of the coalition soldiers fall to the bottom.

After the last two were killed, Helorius knew that today's siege battle would not be able to be carried out in the afternoon, not to mention that the morale of the army was not good, even if there was morale, there were not enough generals to command the troops to attack the city, and five of the seven generals who were killed by Qin Dong and others were wing captains, and the other two were centurions, how could these five wings fight without a wing leader? The top priority was to quickly withdraw the battalion, let the troops rest and recuperate, and at the same time reappoint five wing commanders, and the new wing commander would be familiar with and control the troops, once it dragged on for a long time, the army was likely to have problems, and Herolius immediately ordered: "Pass my order, everyone retreats to the camp in an orderly manner, and the first wing is responsible for breaking the rear, and the cavalry protects the two wings." Prevent the Huns from taking advantage of the situation to attack, once the Huns pursue, the first wing must desperately block them! ”

"Yes. Checkmate! ”

After the order was given, the drums of retreat sounded, and the coalition forces began to retreat slowly, with the first wing staying in place to cover the main retreat, and the cavalry on both flanks withdrawing in batches.

This situation was immediately discovered by Qin Dong and others, and Faisal immediately said, "My lord, the Romans have withdrawn. Why don't we take advantage of their retreat and chase them for a while? ”

Qin Dong nodded and asked Duoyin: "Duoyin, what do you think?" ”

After saluting, Duoyin said: "My lord, my subordinates are not building yì to pursue now." Not to mention that our army is at an absolute disadvantage in terms of strength, let's just say that judging from the current orderliness of the Roman army's retreat, it is not appropriate for us to pursue it, if they are in chaos. We'll be able to chase it. But the wing that they blocked our army when they had killed so many generals was still not chaotic, but retreated in an orderly manner, which shows that this army is very disciplined and well-trained, and if we pursue and they turn back and fight back, we will suffer a lot of casualties! ”

"Well, Duoyin is right, herald. Return! Qin Dong said and waved his hand and gave the order to return to the city.

After this fight, although there were no casualties to the 14th Army of the Western Empire. However, the killing of seven generals caused a great demoralization to the 14th Legion, this morale can not be raised in a short period of time, if Helorius wants to attack the city again, he must find a way to improve morale, this takes time, this is exactly what Qin Dong needs, his intention is to delay time, create enough time for Muren's Second Route Army to capture Carmen City, and then he can implement the tactics of flanking before and after, and defeat the coalition army in one fell swoop.

The idea that after the coalition army had safely withdrawn from the camp, every soldier in the entire camp was as lifeless as his father and mother had died, made Herolius worried, and he immediately summoned the remaining captains and some important centurions to his big tent, and he needed to reappoint the commanders of those wings that had lost their captains.

Before lunch, after some deliberation and consultation with some people, Helorius reappointed five wing commanders, only then relieved, after the appointment, he instructed: "Now your main task is to immediately stabilize the morale of the army, try your best to improve the morale of the soldiers, absolutely not let this lifeless atmosphere continue to spread, this time the Huns will cause us too much damage, this method is too effective, I didn't think so before, But now I finally know the power of this fighting general, Qin Dong is really not a simple person, he is not an easy person to deal with, he has defeated one of our legions with his own strength! Next, we must not take it lightly and must be cautious! Do you all know? ”

Everyone stood up and shouted, "Yes, General!" ”

After everyone sat down, one of the staff members asked, "Shogun, I have a question that I am very confused about, and I hope that the Shogun will help me solve my doubts."

Helorius stretched out his hand: "Sir, excuse me!" ”

"Lord General, the shape just now is indeed very unfavorable to us, the morale of the soldiers has dropped, this is all caused by Qin Dong, if Lord General orders an attack at that time, what do you think will be the next situation? At that time, we had an absolute advantage in numbers, and Qin Dong only had a total of 600 people under the city, including 300 cavalry and 300 heavy infantry, and our number of troops was nine times that of them. ”

Herolius smiled bitterly: "Sir, think I haven't thought about this problem? In fact, I have thought about it for a long time, but I still decided to retreat, there are many factors that determine the outcome of the war, the number of troops is only one of the aspects, it is not that we will be able to defeat Qin Dong with more troops, at that time, the morale of our army was low, and the combat effectiveness could not be brought into play, and the morale of the other party was high to the peak, and it could exert several times more combat effectiveness than usual, so that our advantage in numbers was offset by their high morale, and this was only one aspect. On the other hand, at this moment when our army was in the city, Qin Dong dared to lead his troops out of the city to face the battle, I think they must have some tricks to ensure that he returns to the city safely, and before I can figure out what hole cards he has, I decided to retreat first, although this is a bit of a nest, but at least it preserves our vitality! ”

After listening to Helorius's words, the generals present couldn't help but nod their heads, expressing their firm support for his decision, because it was right to carry out the positive results, and they returned to the camp safely, which was more important than anything else.

But it was said that Qin Dong returned to Razlog City with three hundred escort cavalry and three hundred heavy infantry and was warmly welcomed by the officers and soldiers, and Qin Dong's prestige suddenly increased a lot in the battle just now, and the officers and soldiers who were not convinced by him because of his age were now convinced, still not convinced? You go and kill five generals at the level of Wing Captain and try it!

The main generals and staff accompanied Qin Dong back to the council hall in the city, which was previously used by Odoaser and is now occupied by Qin Dong.

Pethius smiled: "My lord, this time the first company of the Fourteenth Army was killed by us seven generals, including five wing commanders and two centurions, which almost made Herolius almost unusable, which is also the reason why he hurriedly withdrew his troops, according to the opinion of his subordinates, I am afraid that the coalition forces will not attack again in these days, and we have more time to consolidate the city defense, and at the same time buy enough time for the Second Route Army!" ”

"Yes, yes, my lord's move is indeed clever!" The other officers and staff members were all in agreement.

In fact, when Qin Dong was outside the city just now, he had been worried that Helorius would be angry and angry, and he would attack regardless of it, so that his plan would fail, and he might also put himself and the six hundred men and horses who went out of the city with him in a dangerous situation, but in the end it turned out that he had used this trick correctly, Helorius was cautious by nature and did not dare to take risks, so he finally chose to retreat in order to preserve his strength. However, even if Helorius launched an attack regardless of one qiē, the final outcome would be a defeat for both sides, and no one would be able to bargain.

Qin Dong nodded and asked, "How is the situation of the Second Route Army?" ”

Liu San came out of the class and said: "My lord, there is the latest news over there, Muren is attacking the city with all his might, and half of the captured slaves died in the siege battle, and now the city of Carmen is already in danger, and the time to break the city should be within these two days, in order to prevent Odoaser from sending people out of the city to move rescue troops, Muren let the army besiege the city, and the city of Carmen can't even fly out of a single mosquito!" ”

After listening to Liu San's report, Qin Dong thought quietly, and in his thoughts, he suddenly thought of a question, he immediately said: "Immediately send a message to Tuolong Feige, and ask him to immediately send several cavalry teams to ambush on the road from Carmen City to the coalition camp, whether it is from Carmen City to the coalition camp, or from the coalition camp to Carmen City, the messengers will all be blocked, and the roads leading from the coalition camp to other places will also be blocked, and no messenger will be allowed to pass through Guò, even if it is not a messenger, but an irrelevant person, all will be killed, They must not be allowed to go over and report the news! ”

After listening to Qin Dong's order, everyone realized that they had neglected a very important thing before, that is, to cut off the connection between Carmen City and the coalition camp.

No matter how tightly the Second Route Army besieged the city of Carmen, no one dared to guarantee that there would be no secret passage from inside the city to outside the city, once Helorius learned that the city of Carmen was under siege, he would inevitably send troops over to relieve the siege of the city of Carmen, because as long as people with a little military common sense knew that if the city of Carmen was captured by the Second Route Army, then the coalition army would fall into a situation of being attacked on the back of the enemy, and if Helorius did not want to be attacked from the front and rear, he must keep Carmencheng from being broken by the second route army, otherwise he would definitely be defeated.

In the next three days, the passage from the coalition camp to other places was blocked by a small group of cavalry sent by Tolon, and the coalition army had lost contact with the outside world, until three days later, the food of the coalition army was almost exhausted, and there was no logistics transport force to transport food, and Herolius and others realized that something was wrong.
