In fact, Qin Dong was not sure whether the Romans were really attacking the city or fake it, in short, whether it was a real attack or a fake attack, Qin Dong was not stunned at all, he had already made preparations, and waited for the Romans to attack.

Sure enough, as Qin Dong speculated, the Romans were heavy siege equipment at the beginning, sixty trebuchets and ballistas were fired together, and the overwhelming stone projectiles fell outside the city wall, on the city and inside the city wall, the city wall was smashed and shaken, and the roofs of the nearby houses were almost smashed out of large holes, and the officers and soldiers hiding under the city wall were very happy, if it wasn't for Qin Dong's order to let everyone hide, it is estimated that the casualties would be not small at this time.

The opponent's trebuchet and ballista fired for a while, Qin Dong took Batu and a few guards to stare at the big shield and carefully touched the city wall, stretched out his head to observe the movements of the coalition forces under the city, the coalition army just kept firing stone bullets, as if there was no sign of stopping, Qin Dong estimated that after half an hour, the other party was still firing, as if he would not stop firing the stone bullets, and the Roman army under the city did not have the slightest intention of attacking the city.

Qin Dong thought about it and immediately turned his head to Batu: "Order our trebuchets and ballistas to immediately fire fire at the enemy troops under the city with fire oil bombs, from near to far, and the speed should be fast!" ”

"Yes, sir!"

To be honest, Qin Dong was also very happy, these fortunately did not rain, if it rained, the fire oil buried outside the city would definitely be washed away by the rain, these did not rain, those fire oil must still be in place.

The trebuchets and ballistae that stood on the high platform inside the city were used by the soldiers to launch the first wave of fires outside the city. All fired were fire oil stone shells.

"Whoosh ......"

More than a dozen large fireballs flew up from inside the city and flew towards the coalition army formation outside the city, and in the blink of an eye, they fell into the coalition army formation, killing a large area. The fireball rolled a long distance on the ground, and every inch of land it rolled over, a fire was left behind, and the dead grass on the ground quickly burned, and the temperature rose instantly, igniting the fire oil in the ground, and there was a "bump". A large area was completely ablaze, and the fire consumed many Roman soldiers in an instant.

"Ahh Fire! The burnt Roman soldiers began to scream, some of them kept rolling on the ground, some of them were burned everywhere, but the fire continued unabated.

Once the oil is burned. Its smoke vine speed is very fast. In a few breaths, the entire Roman army burst into flames, and more than 3,000 Roman soldiers were all surrounded by merciless fire, and they couldn't run out if they wanted to.

The situation at the scene had already stunned the soldiers of the Roman siege camp who fired stone projectiles from the rear and operated trebuchets and furious cannons, and they stopped firing stone projectiles.

Qin Dong stood on the city wall and looked at the huge area of fire below, and walked down the city wall with an expressionless face, at this time Batu and Faisal had already sorted out the formation of the team. He walked over to one of the guards and said, "Go and give the order, the trebuchets and ballistas stop firing!" ”

"Yes. My lord! ”

Batu came over and reported: "My lord, it's all ready! ”

Qin Dong took a war horse led by a guard and stepped up, he rode his horse to the front of the three hundred guards and cavalry and stopped: "Brothers, the coalition forces blocking the road outside the city have been engulfed in fire, but their main force is taking the opportunity to retreat, they have no food, they have long been panicked, we have to go out to hunt them down, everyone remember, you must follow me closely, you can kill as much as you can, but don't fall behind because of killing, it is very dangerous to fall behind, only everyone together is the safest, you follow me, We rushed all the way through and scattered the fleeing Romans, with the light cavalry in front and the archers behind, all understood? ”

Everyone shouted, "Understood! ”

"Open the gates—"

With a shout, the city gate creaked open, "Ha-" Qin Dong slapped the horse's butt with a horsewhip, and rushed out of the city gate with a loud shout, and the other three hundred cavalry followed closely behind him.

The sound of horses' hooves sounded, and three hundred horsemen rushed out, and soon they were heading south from a fireless passage outside the city, and the sound of horses' hooves disappeared. The light infantry in the city, under the command of Faisal, also drove out of the city gate, trotted out of the city gate, followed behind the cavalry team in front, ready to pick up the bargain.

On both sides, there were raging fires coming out of the ground, and most of the Roman soldiers had been burned to death at this time, but there were still many people hiding in the middle passage specially set aside, which was a passage deliberately left by Qin Dong, in order to be able to pass through this passage in time to attack the coalition forces who were scared by the fire and fled, and this passage was also useful at this time.

Because this passage is more than ten meters wide, many Roman soldiers have run here to avoid the flames, they are retreating, but behind them there is the sound of horses' hooves, which makes these Roman soldiers who were not burned to death by the fire are all dead, I don't know who shouted: "The Huns are coming, run!" ”

Originally frightened by the fire, it was the time when the people were panicking, at this time suddenly the sound of the Huns came, but these Roman soldiers were frightened, they didn't even want weapons, many people also took off the heavy chain mail and threw it on the ground, only in this way to reduce the weight of the body to run faster, but unfortunately they forgot that they were only two legs, no matter how fast the cannon was, they could not outrun the Huns with four legs behind them.

"Kill-" Qin Dong held a three-pointed two-edged knife and rode his horse to chase and kill those Roman soldiers who were fleeing, brandishing weapons and continuously slashing, the Roman soldiers who fled in front were like straws by the three-pointed and two-edged blades in Qin Dong's hands and reaped their lives and fell to both sides of the channel, Qin Dong didn't have time to kill, the cavalry behind took over, the passage in the sea of fire was not very long, only a few hundred meters, when Qin Dong led the three hundred cavalry to rush out of the sea of fire channel, only the corpse of a place was left, Not a single Roman soldier escaped from the passage.

At this time, the soldiers of the siege camp of the 14th Army were still mourning for the more than 3,000 people who died in the fire, they didn't expect that Qin Dong would lead the cavalry out of the sea of fire, which made the sharp-eyed soldiers scream in horror after discovering it: "Run, the Hun cavalry is coming through the sea of fire, run!" ”

More than 1,000 soldiers of the engineering battalion ran back in a panic, but how could they outrun the cavalry? They were quickly caught up, Qin Dong immediately wanted to swing his knife and slash and kill, but he thought that these were soldiers operating trebuchets and ballistas, these are all technical arms, and it takes a long time to train, so it was a pity to kill them like this, he decided to capture the more than 1,000 soldiers of the engineering battalion who were close to 2,000 people, and shouted: "You can't run away, if you don't want to die, throw away your weapons and squat on the ground and wait for being captured, it's all good, we won't kill the prisoners, but if you are not honest and think about resisting or running away, you will die a miserable death!" ”

"Surrender, surrender!" The cavalry behind him saw that Qin Dong was going to capture these Roman soldiers, and immediately all shouted loudly, these siege camp soldiers had no real swords and guns to kill the enemy, and were yelled at by these cavalry, most of them were so timid that they lost their weapons and squatted on the ground, all of them trembled with fear, and a small number of people were originally unwilling, but now most of them are squatting on the ground and surrendering, they don't want to be killed, they can only surrender with everyone, in fact, in this siege camp of nearly two thousand people, those with weapons are legions, The soldiers who operated the siege equipment had no weapons at all.

When the light infantry who followed found out about this, an officer came with his own men and took the prisoners, tied them up with ropes, and then strung them together with ropes, so as to prevent them from escaping.

And Qin Dong naturally didn't care about these prisoners anymore, it had already been arranged, and the capture of prisoners was completed by Faisal and the light infantry, and they kept chasing and killing the retreating Roman army in front.

When the three hundred cavalry ran wildly through the coalition camp, it was brightly lit, but there was no figure, Qin Dong knew that the main force of the 14th Army was already on the way to evacuate, so he did not hesitate, and directly led the cavalry to pursue.

After only half an hour of pursuit, Qin Dong led his troops to catch up with the rear of the evacuated 14th Army Corps, Qin Dong yelled: "Kill, brothers follow me, kill—"

"Kill-" Three hundred cavalry immediately rushed over, the Roman soldiers originally wondered how they could retreat suddenly, and they retreated at night, and they didn't eat enough dinner at night, and now there were Hun cavalry suddenly killed from the rear, and there were quite a few of them, many soldiers immediately lost their weapons and fled in all directions, Qin Dong brandished his weapons and rode a war horse with the army all the way along the 14th Legion to kill the past.

The Fourteenth Army was quickly chaotic, the ranks were long during the retreat, there was no formation at all, and it was impossible to organize a defensive formation in a short period of time, even if some officers wanted to prevent the soldiers from forming a defensive formation, but before they could form a formation, they were scattered by Qin Dong's cavalry.

"General, general, the big thing is not good, the Huns caught up from behind and are now slashing our rear soldiers on a rampage!" An officer on horseback rode and shouted at Herolius.

Helorius's face changed drastically: "What? You say the Huns are catching up? How can it be? How could they have bypassed our besieging army and pursued us? ”

The young general said in a hurry: "General, this is all true, the Hun cavalry is really cutting and killing our soldiers in the back, and their rushing speed is very fast, general, if you don't think about it, I'm afraid our army will be completely dispersed!" ”

Herolius took a deep breath and shouted, "Homsis, you lead your men to form a heavy infantry defensive formation to stop here, and let the soldiers coming from behind pass, but you must not let the Hun cavalry take a step forward!" Even if all your soldiers are dead, you must not take a step back, or I will kill you!" ”

Homsis replied bitterly: "Yes, general, even if his subordinates die in battle, they will never let the Hun cavalry move forward!" (To be continued......)
