"My lord, all the Roman soldiers at the city gate were killed, and not a single one of them survived!" One of his men reports to Alfald.

Although he encountered a little stubborn resistance along the way, which cost Afald a few men, he quickly cleared the resisting Roman soldiers, and when he got the report, he immediately said: "Gather all the bows and arrows, and set up barricades and barricades and barricades fifty meters in front of the city gate!" ”

"Yes, sir!" After the order was issued, everyone began to move, moving everything that could be moved to the front as a roadblock, trying to resist the attack of the remaining personnel of the 6th Wing station. This was discussed in advance, and the reason for making such a big move was to lure the left-behind personnel of the Sixth Wing to come over and create conditions for Qin Dong and the others.

Time was very short, the Sixth Wing was only a roley away from here, not far at all, and after Alfard and the others had eliminated the thirty defenders at the city gate, they had just had time to erect a barricade when they saw a group of men and horses running towards this side.

Alfold ordered the fifty guards under Gebuus to collect the shields of the Roman soldiers in front, with a shield in one hand and weapons in the other, and fifty of the remaining seventy men could bow and arrow, and Afalde made these people line up in five rows at the back, and there were twenty others, these people had no shields, only weapons, and he put these people in the middle as a reserve, and defended the attack of a hundred and twenty men, and if this could not withstand it, he really did not need to mess around, and he was very confident in this.

Due to the heavy rain and the fact that it was dark night, it was difficult to see people and things ten meters away, and the men and horses of the Sixth Wing had already rushed over. However, unable to distinguish between friend and foe, Alfald had to wait until he could see the identity of the person who had come before giving the order to attack. But by this time, a hundred men of the Sixth Wing had already rushed to the front.

Fortunately, Alfold had set up a barricade in front of him in advance, and a hundred men of the 6th Wing were blocked outside the barricade. After seeing the identity of the comer, Alfold immediately ordered fifty archers to shoot.

The deputy captain of the 6th Wing did not expect the enemy to capture the city gate so quickly, and there were archers on the other side, so he and his men suffered a big loss at the first wave of bow and arrow shooting, at least 30 people were shot by arrows, and at least 20 of them were hit by arrows and lost their combat effectiveness.

"Shield Defense!" The deputy wing commander yelled, and after the order was given. The Roman soldiers immediately formed a square tortoise shell, which was blocked by shields in front, on the left and right sides, as well as on the top of their heads. Arrows rarely hit those inside, only the rear did not have a shield to resist.

The turtle shell shield array slowly moved forward under the order of the deputy wing leader, and when it reached the barricade, it could not move forward, and the deputy wing leader could only order people to bend down and clean it up little by little. But the entire formation was attacked by Affard with even more ferocity. However, the men of the 6th Wing had few casualties due to the protection of the shield array, and the 6th Wing was blocked by the barricades and was worried about being shot by the archers of Afard, so they could not remove the shield array, and the two sides formed a stalemate at the barricades, although the people who were set at the front of both sides attacked each other, but neither could help anyone.

However, it was said that more than 100 people of the Sixth Wing went to support the East City Gate, and sent messengers to ask for help from the Fifth Wing. Qin Dong felt that the time was ripe, and immediately led the men and horses to swagger towards the Sixth Wing station.

"Stop. Who are you? This is the camp of the 6th Wing, and no one has to wait to get out of here! The sentry standing at the gate of the garrison was a little panicked when he saw hundreds of people striding by with weapons in hand, and the soldiers on the lookout at the gate were about to blow the trumpet to call the police, but suddenly an arrow shot from the darkness killed him, and the corpse fell from a high place and fell into a meat pie.

The two sentries were holding short swords, looking vigilant, their expressions were highly nervous, and their faces were a little pale because of nervousness, "Don't come, don't come here!" ”

Qin Dong held the hilt of the knife and forced him to pull out the knife and cut it down, the soldier who spoke was cut in two before he could scream, and the other soldier was so frightened that he immediately threw away the short sword, but was immediately hacked to death by the others.

Qin Dong waved his hand, and quickly four guards rushed over to open the gate of the camp, Qin Dong shouted: "Leave four people to clean up the corpses, disguise themselves as sentries and set up sentry at the door, once you find out the situation, report it immediately, and everyone else will follow me in to lead the horse!" ”

"Yes, sir!" Everyone agreed, and four people volunteered to stay and clean up the bodies.

Now the whole camp is empty, Qin Dong took these hundred people to walk in the camp for two minutes and didn't meet a single person, until he passed through a row of houses before he met a few old guys, these old people are also very clever, seeing Qin Dong and so many other strangers running around with swords, they immediately hid in the house to sleep, and a few people were still kneeling on the side of the road with their heads down, Qin Dong saw that these old guys were not threatening, and they were quite honest, so he didn't embarrass them!

The stables were quickly found, and there were indeed more than two hundred horses inside, after a simple inspection, it was determined that they were the horses they had lost, Qin Dong immediately asked everyone to go in and lead the horses out, and grabbed an old guy to ask where the harness of these horses was, and the old guy quickly said where the harness was stored under Qin Dong's threat, and Qin Dong immediately sent someone to fetch it.

After half an hour, all the horses had been led out of the stable, and the saddles and stirrups were loaded, when a guard who had volunteered to leave to clean up the corpses and pretended to be a sentry ran over and reported: "My lord, there is a situation, a group of people has appeared outside the camp, and their leader claims to be the steward of the city lord, and they say that they are ordered by the city lord to take away these horses and move them outside the city!" ”

After listening to the report, Qin Dong's eyes flashed, and he asked, "How many of them are there?" ”

"About fifty people, my lord!"

Qin Dong thought for a while and ordered: "You go and lead them to the school field to wait, and find an excuse to leave after bringing the people here!" ”

"Yes, sir!"

After the guard left, Qin Dong ordered loudly, "Everyone check their weapons, bows and arrows, and armor...... All on board! ”

Thankfully, Pedro didn't search their room that night, otherwise they would definitely find a large number of bows and arrows hidden, if the bows and arrows and weapons were taken away, Qin Dong really had to give up that batch of goods, and there were no horses, and they still used bows and arrows and weapons to find a way to grab a batch of horses. There is always a way to catch up with Pedro, but if even weapons and bows and arrows are robbed, then Qin Dong really has no choice.

It didn't take long. The guard came back and reported, "My lord, the villain has brought them to the schoolyard!" ”

"Alright, warriors, we don't have much time, now come with me to the school field, I can only give you one turn, you only have one turn to kill those people. Let's go! After Qin Dong finished speaking, he immediately rode his horse and ran forward, and the other hundred archers quickly followed.

After turning a few corners, they arrived at the school ground, and a hundred cavalry archers immediately divided into two columns and outflanked the more than fifty people standing in the school field from the left and right.

"Wind-" Qin Dong rode his horse and roared, taking out his riding bow. Shoot with a bow and arrows.

"Gale—" The other archers immediately shouted in unison, their horses galloping like a whirlwind, roaring and shooting arrows. It was less than half a lap. Before everyone could shoot two arrows, the stewards and subordinates sent by the city lord Holt were all killed, and they didn't even have time to scream.

"Target the East City Gate, let's go-" Qin Dong saw that he had killed these people who had come to look for death, and immediately led his troops to the East City Gate. Horses are also social animals, horses ridden by people run in front to lead the way, and horses that are not ridden behind will automatically follow the riders in front of them without being leashed, Qin Dong and others rode more than 100 horses and ran in front. There were more than a hundred horses following behind, as they passed the gate of the station. The sentry man quickly mounted his horse and followed, and the whole team quickly disappeared into the night.

…….

The main street, which was more than 20 meters wide, was also a very wide street in this era, about five miles from the east gate to the headquarters of the Fifth Wing, and the group that intercepted the messengers was ambushed about two miles from the Fifth Wing.

The interception team was divided into two parts, one squatting on the roof on the left side of the street, and the other hiding in the dark under the eaves on the right side of the street, according to the plan agreed in advance, if there was a messenger riding over, the archers squatting on the roof on the left would shoot the arrow, the best could be shot, the person hiding under the eaves on the right would go up to make up for it, if it did not hit, it was too late to shoot the second arrow, so the second part of the personnel hiding under the eaves pulled up the tripwire, tripped the messenger on horseback, and then the personnel pounced on it and slashed it.

"Dada, dada, dada" The sound of horses' hooves sounded in the heavy rain.

The voice was immediately heard by the ambushers, "Someone is coming!" The ambush personnel immediately became highly vigilant, the three archers squatting on the roof quickly opened their bows and arrows, the first archer shot the arrow, but unfortunately, did not hit, the second archer did not hesitate to shoot the arrow in his hand, soon heard a scream, the man running on the horse fell from the horse and fell to the ground, only to see the eaves below immediately rushed out, two people each slashed at the fallen messenger, confirmed that the body was dead and dragged the body in the alley next to it.

Because the deputy commander of the sixth wing saw that he and Alfed had been in a stalemate, and it was likely that the enemy's conspiracy would succeed after a long time, the deputy wing commander sent several messengers to the fifth wing station to ask for reinforcements, but what he did not expect was that these messengers were all ambushed in the middle of the road, and due to the influence of heavy rain, the fifth wing did not get any news.

East City Gate.

"My lord, these Roman soldiers used their shields to form a tortoise shell formation, we have no way to deal with them, and when we get close, they hide on the ground and poke with spears, we are all short weapons, and we will suffer in weapons! Now they are trying their best to clear the barricades, which will be done soon," one of his men reported to Afard.

Afald was also a little anxious after hearing this, the Roman Empire's infantry tortoise shell phalanx was notoriously difficult, arrows could not penetrate, they hid in the tortoise shell and could use spears to deal with cavalry charges, if the infantry approached, they would arrange the soldiers with short swords on the periphery to resist with shields, and fight with short swords, very flexible, and also easy to turn, the only drawback is poor mobility, if the speed of action is too fast, the formation will be disrupted, and the protection of the formation will be lost, the soldiers will be easily scattered by the cavalry, Needless to say, the ending is very miserable, but this turtle shell formation is not impossible to crack, in the military, there has never been an invincible formation, and there is no formation that cannot be cracked, it depends on how the leading general uses it.

Alfald used his brains and quickly made him think of a way to delay time, and he immediately ordered: "Reserve to carry some small stones to the city wall!" ”

The stones of the city walls were used to defend the city, and if there was a place to build a ladder to attack the city from the outside, the soldiers defending the city could push the stones down and kill the enemy soldiers, and each city wall had such stone reserves.

The reserve team quickly carried some small stones, and Alfald immediately ordered the stones to be thrown over, which were not large enough for an adult to throw about ten meters, just enough to throw them on the top of the turtle shell of the 6th Wing on the opposite side of the barricade.

There was a loud bang, and a stone was smashed on the top of the turtle's shell, and there was an exclamation from inside, which seemed to work, and then a continuous stream of stones were smashed over, and the Roman soldiers in the turtle's shell had to use all their strength to resist the shield above their heads, so as not to be hit by the stone.

This method really delayed Rome and cleared the barricades, and the deputy captain of the sixth wing had already scolded the captain of the fifth wing at this time, and sent several waves of messengers to ask for reinforcements in a row, but there was no movement until now, how could he do it, how did he know that those messengers were killed in the middle.

At this moment, suddenly there was a vibration from the rear, this, this is a cavalry? The deputy wing captain was overjoyed, he thought that the reinforcements had arrived, and immediately shouted: "Soldiers, our reinforcements have arrived, everyone work hard, and there will be a reward for killing Lao Tzu!" ”

disappointed the deputy captain, not only disappointed, but also afraid, the cavalry behind him was officially a hundred archers led by Qin Dong, Qin Dong rushed over and shot a few arrows in a row, and the archers behind him also opened their bows and shot arrows, there was no shield behind the turtle shell, and they lost more than 20 people immediately after this blow!

"Oh, my God!" There was an exclamation from inside the turtle's shell, apparently one after another people were shot, causing Rome in the turtle's shell to panic.

"Don't panic, don't panic! Line up in an all-round defensive formation and wait for reinforcements! The deputy wing commander immediately gave a loud order, and under his order, the gap in the rear was quickly filled, and the entire team was surrounded by shields from all directions, without any dead ends, this is the real turtle shell.

After several consecutive showers of arrows, the arrows landed on the turtle shell and made a clanging sound, but there was no result, Qin Dong looked at the turtle shell, and immediately ordered: "Two people in a group, use a lasso!" ”

Soon two cavalrymen rushed out, one of the cavalrymen threw a long rope to the other cavalryman, and threw a large bundle of rope in his hand to the turtle shell, the rope flew through the turtle shell and fell in front, the two immediately ran back, the rope was quickly straightened, swept from the ground, the Roman soldiers in the turtle shell were tripped and fell to the ground one by one, the shield array could not be maintained, and the whole turtle shell was cracked.

"Kill! Not a single one to stay! Qin Dong roared, his legs clamped between the horse's belly and drew a scimitar to rush over, slashing and slashing again and again, one charge, the rest of the Sixth Wing fell like cutting wheat, and only a few were left who could stand, and no one stood after turning the horse's head and rushing again.
