These 30,000 Wei cavalry were all cavalry units in the garrison. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Seeing this scene, the Roman cavalry had to abandon the plan to attack the Wei artillery array and instead meet the Wei cavalry. The iron horses of the two sides are surging forward, and the dust is flying all over the sky, and the sight makes people's blood boil.

In the blink of an eye, the iron cavalry of the two sides met violently, and in the intertwined torrent, only the cold light flashed, and the cavalry continued to fall from the war horse and drowned in the boundless tide in a blink of an eye, the sound of fighting resounded in the sky, and the blood rain flying in the sky made the sky hazy.

The cavalry fought fiercely and was imposing. The fierce battle lasted about half an hour, and the Wei army gradually showed that it was overwhelmed, while the Roman army became more and more courageous.

Cao Cao frowned and ordered, "Let the Eighth Legion Light Cavalry attack!" ”

Immediately, 20,000 light cavalry of the Eighth Army rushed out of the cracked array and rushed to the battlefield, while at the same time, more than 10,000 Roman cavalry also galloped away from the city.

The scale of the battle of the cavalry of both sides was further expanded. The battle has intensified.

Soon another half an hour passed, the battle was in a stalemate, and the battle between more than 80,000 cavalry was magnificent, which made people's blood boil and at the same time made people sweat.

Gradually, the balance of victory shifted to the side of the Romans, and the situation of the Wei cavalry, which had been divided into three parts by the Roman cavalry, became more and more disadvantaged. I have to admit that the combat power of these main Roman legions is indeed extraordinary.

"Your Majesty, do you want the catapult to withdraw first?" Jiang Tai, the deputy general of the Royal Forest Army, asked.

Cao Cao shook his head and said in a deep voice: "Now they are supporting with their will, if they see the catapult retreating, I am afraid that they will collapse for a thousand miles!" I can't imagine that the combat power of the troops on the second and third lines is so much worse than the main Roman legion?! ”

"Your Majesty, it's better to let the infantry line go up!" Zhang Liao suggested.

Cao Cao shook his head, "No! Dian Wei! ”

"Your Majesty!" Dian Wei Hong promised.

"You immediately lead five thousand royal forest troops to attack!"

Dian Wei's eyes lit up, and he roared and promised: "Order!" Before he could finish speaking, he was impatient to go on.

"Wait! Just crush the enemy, don't go into pursuit!! ”

"Understood! Your Majesty, I'm going! ”

Cao Cao nodded.

Dian Wei galloped to the front of the Imperial Forest Army with a pair of large iron halberds on his back, and shouted: "Brothers, follow me into battle to kill the enemy!" ”

"Roar!!" The five thousand Imperial Forest Soldiers couldn't help but let out a shout together, and everyone's face was excited.

And no wonder! A good man should make immortal feats on the battlefield of iron-blooded battle, and leave a legend that will be passed down through the ages!

Upstairs at the city gate.

"General, if we continue like this, our army will definitely be able to defeat the Wei cavalry! I didn't expect the Wei cavalry to be so flashy!! A Roman general said excitedly.

Batra shook her head, "Don't be careless! These cavalrymen who fought against us were obviously not elite! ”

"Look, General!!" Another general shouted as he pointed out of the city.

Everyone looked in the direction of his finger and saw five thousand Wei army iron cavalry roaring towards the battlefield.

These five thousand iron cavalry are completely different from the previous two groups of Wei cavalry, first of all, the costume, everyone wears a chain of heavy armor, even the war horse is no exception, wearing a dark cloak, running is like a black cloud surging, people, horses are extraordinary, people, majestic and extraordinary, horses, such as dragons and tigers, are very strong.

Batra frowned, and asked a general beside him urgently, "Do we still have cavalry?" ”

The general was stunned, shook his head and said, "No!" ”

Batra's brow furrowed even tighter and she muttered, "Hope I'm wrong!!" ”

The 5,000 Wei Imperial Forest Army slammed into the enemy's cavalry group, and it actually pierced through it with all its might, like a hot knife cutting cream. Immediately, the Wei army turned the horse's head and once again kicked off the smoke and dust in the sky.

The monstrous wave of cavalry slammed into the oncoming Roman cavalry group, killing the Roman cavalry group like a surging sand bank, and the previous surging momentum of the Roman cavalry was no longer there, as if it had suddenly changed its style.

Seeing this, the rest of the Roman cavalry rushed in droves.

In the blink of an eye, the iron cavalry of the two sides fell into a scuffle. The Iron Cavalry of the Imperial Forest Army galloped across the army of 10,000 horses, invincible and unstoppable. Especially one of the generals, wielding a pair of large iron halberds to set off a rain of blood in the enemy army, like a tiger entering a flock of sheep, he is none other than Dian Wei, the general of the Wei Army's Imperial Forest Army.

Immediately, Dian Wei set his sights on a brave Roman general, who wielded a long knife and fought very bravely.

The corners of Dian Wei's mouth twitched, revealing an excited smile, and he hit the horse and rushed towards him.

At this time, the Roman general also discovered Dian Wei, and he urged the horse to come without even thinking about it.

In the blink of an eye, the two sides met, and the Roman general roared, and slashed straight at Dian Wei with a long knife.

Dian Wei grinned, a little hideous, and at the same time, the big iron halberd in his left hand held the opponent's long knife, and then the big iron halberd in his right hand ran straight towards the chest of the Roman general like a poisonous dragon.

The Roman general was taken aback, and hurriedly dodged sideways, and with a snort, the iron halberd grazed the Roman general's breastplate. Before the Roman general could come to his senses, Dian Wei kicked out, right on the horse's buttocks.

The war horse screamed and was kicked over. The Roman general was thrown out and fell heavily to the ground.

I couldn't help but feel horrified, and hurriedly wanted to get up.

At this time, Batra, who was standing on the tower of the city gate, couldn't help but shout: "Be careful!! ”

The Roman general who was getting up subconsciously looked ahead, and saw a huge figure roaring, it was Dian Wei who knocked him off the horse, Dian Wei held a pair of iron halberds in both hands, shouting, and the momentum was like a tiger and a dragon. The Roman general's heart couldn't help but tremble, and he subconsciously dodged to the side, but in a flash of cold light, the Roman general's whole person was picked up in the air.

Batra and others, who were watching the battle from the city gate tower, couldn't help but feel a huge shock in their hearts.

This was not an ordinary Roman general, but a famous general in the Roman army, Togo, who once killed several Jin generals in the battle against the Jin people.

Before he could gain momentum, the Roman general with a look of fear on his face hurled at a group of Roman cavalry in front of him.

They were overwhelmed. Dian Wei took the opportunity to kill and killed this group of Roman cavalry.

At the same time, the cavalry of the garrison and the cavalry of the Eighth Legion, which had previously been pressed and beaten by the Roman cavalry, took the opportunity to counterattack.

The Roman cavalry was slaughtered and retreated.

Seeing that any further fight would only increase casualties, Batra ordered a retreat and ordered the archers to hold back the Wei cavalry.

The remnants of the Roman cavalry fled into the city in a hurry.

The Wei army pursued to the city gate, but was forced to retreat when it encountered a rain of arrows on the city wall.

Dian Wei returned to Cao Cao and clenched his fists excitedly and said, "Your Majesty, I did a good job, right?!" ”

Cao Cao patted Dian Wei's shoulder and laughed: "Okay! Very good!! ”

Dian Weihan smiled. pleaded excitedly: "Your Majesty, why don't you let me be the vanguard of the siege!" ”

Before Dian Wei's words fell, the generals loudly objected.

Someone hurriedly said, "That's not good!" The credit can't be taken by General Dian Wei alone!! ”

Dian Wei glared menacingly: "Your Majesty hasn't spoken yet, what are you anxious about!" ”

Ma Chao was not afraid of him, and shouted at him with a needle: "Anyway, you can't be the vanguard of the siege!" ”

Duan Tao couldn't help but feel amused when he looked at the two people who were on top of the bull, signaled everyone to be quiet, and said, "Jiang Tai is still the vanguard of the siege!" ”

Jiang Tai on the side couldn't help but be pleasantly surprised.

Although Ma Chao and Dian Wei were a little disappointed, they didn't say anything.

They glared at each other.

Subsequently, the Wei artillery team carried out another blow to the walls of Ekbatana, and Mingjin withdrew.

That night, the Romans rushed to repair the city wall overnight, but it was impossible to repair the wall that had been knocked down by the Wei army's catapults in one night.

At the same time, the Roman army tent outside the city of Qinxifeng.

"Is the intelligence true?" Emperor Caracalla asked in a deep voice. The generals standing under the tent also looked worried.

In the center of the tent stood a scout.

The scout officer replied: "The information is indeed! ”

Caracalla said with some emotion: "I said, why did the war develop to this point and still not see the elite figure of the Wei army?" It turns out that they are actually playing this idea! ”

General Schneider frowned and said: "Dura Europos is now an extremely important grain and grass transit base for our army, and it is also the only way for our army to return home, if it is lost, the front line will be dangerous!" Whether it's true or not, don't take it lightly! ”

Caracalla nodded, "You're right! Then transfer a Spartan legion back, plus the original garrison of 40,000, should be able to deal with this threat! ”

He cast an inquiring glance at General Schneider.

Schneider nodded and said, "Actually, with the strength of 40,000 garrisons, plus the walls of Dura Europos, there should be no problem. But it's even more foolproof! ”

"Since the general agrees, let's do it!" Caracalla then summoned the herald and ordered the Second Spartan Legion to return to Dura Europos immediately!

At the same time, Xu Huang and 50,000 Iron Horsemen, lurking in the Dura Europos Forest, were waiting for their chance.

They had been lurking here for half a month with the aim of raiding Dura Europos, but there had never been a suitable opportunity.

The garrison of Dura Europos consisted of 40,000 men, and all of them were regular Roman legions, which, combined with the strong defenses of Dura Europos, made it almost impossible for this cavalry force to penetrate hard.

As a last resort, Xu Huang had to wait quietly for the opportunity.

Two days later, Xu Huang received a report from the scouts that the Roman army, which had been 50,000 men, was heading towards Dura Oropos, and that it was only thirty miles away from Dura Oropos. (To be continued.) )
