The first wave of attacks went very smoothly, Homsis's army was completely destroyed, he himself was killed by stray arrows, most of his soldiers were killed, and a few took advantage of the chaos to escape, and the black lights did not know where they had gone, anyway, the surrounding area was very empty, and they could run in all directions.

Ignoring Homsis' army, Helorius ordered his Fourteenth Legion to speed up and flee forward, but he did not know that this was exactly what Tolon and Muren wanted, so that Toloon and Muren could carry out their plan and keep cutting off the tail of the Fourteenth Legion until the Fourteenth Legion was completely wiped out.

After Herolius marched five miles with his army again, the march was attacked by another group of Hun cavalry in the last eighth, ninth and tenth wings, which numbered about 1,800 people, and a group of Hun cavalry came out of the grass on both sides and divided the more than 1,800 people into two, and the more than 900 people in the back were cut off from the way forward, while the more than 900 people in front fled frantically because they encountered the Hun cavalry again.

The nine hundred men who were intercepted behind were surrounded, surrounded by three hundred cavalry, and it was difficult to convey orders in the dark, and the supreme commander of these nine hundred men was the commander of the 10th Wing, and he shouted to his soldiers to keep calm, but to no avail, the soldiers had already become frightened birds, and at this time it was impossible to gather the army into a defensive formation, and the light cavalry in the Hun cavalry kept rushing back and forth, and the archers were shooting the fleeing Roman soldiers around.

Herolius soon got the news that the 10th and 9th Wings of the rear were being raided by another Hun cavalry, and he didn't think about anything at the moment. Immediately order everyone to move forward at full speed and quickly get out of the battlefield.

The second Hun cavalry raided the 900 cavalry with some difficulty, although its own casualties were negligible. However, after all, the opponent was three times as numerous as his own, but not long after the battle, the first cavalry had already finished destroying the army of Homsis and rushed to support the second cavalry team, and the two teams immediately joined together to deal with the tenth and ninth wings.

Thus at the back of the Fourteenth Legion were the other men of the Eighth and Ninth Wings, and there were nine hundred men here, who were only a mile away from the Five, Six, and Seventy-Three Wings, and where Herolius and his convoy and his subordinate army were. There was a team of about a few hundred people in front of the road.

There was no one to care about the 10th and 9th Wings who were intercepted and killed, and no one knew their ending, and after walking another five or six miles. The 8th and 9th Wings, which were left behind, were attacked by the third Hun cavalry, and the 300 cavalry attacked the 900 infantry, and in the dark night, the infantry suffered a great loss. In addition, the Roman soldiers had long since lost the determination to resist. When the Hun cavalry appeared, people immediately began to flee, and when the Hun cavalry rushed over, many Roman soldiers began to drop their weapons and surrender.

For the fleeing Roman soldiers, the Hun light cavalry did not care about them, naturally there were archers to shoot those people, their task was to attack the Roman soldiers who still had weapons in their hands and never surrendered, and rushed back and forth on horseback.

Helorius, who was ahead, soon knew that his troops behind him had again been attacked by the Hun cavalry. He grabbed the soldier who was reporting the news and shouted, "What did you say? Another Hun cavalry appeared? ”

"Yes, General. There is absolutely nothing wrong with it, the remnants of the Eighth and Ninth Wings are being attacked by their madness! ”

Beads of sweat appeared on Helorius's forehead, he had never been so anxious and impatient, "Impossible, the first Hun cavalry is about three hundred cavalry, the second cavalry is also three hundred cavalry, and the third cavalry is also three hundred cavalry, doesn't this add up to nearly a thousand cavalry?" There were only about 500 cavalry raiding Simi Town, so why were there so many more cavalry at once? Can anyone sue me, what the hell is going on? ”

The officers and staff next to them also felt that something was wrong, if calculated in terms of quantity, the number of Hun cavalry appearing here greatly exceeded the number of cavalry attacking the grain and grass warehouse, the first two Hun cavalry could not solve Homsis and the tenth and ninth wings so quickly, and the third Hun cavalry that appeared now is absolutely true.

At this time, an officer hesitated for a moment and said: "General, my subordinates have a conjecture, according to the information we have received, a group of Huns have captured the city of Carmen, according to the distance from the city of Carmen to here, the cavalry will not be able to arrive here in a morning, if this extra cavalry is from the city of Carmen, I don't think it is strange at all!" So it's also that they've already set up pockets here, just waiting for us to get in! ”

When the officer's words fell, everyone around him shuddered involuntarily, and many people couldn't help but wonder how the Huns could be so fast? Don't they need to control and digest the occupied city of Carmen?

The origin of so many Hun cavalry has been figured out, but it does not help them in the slightest about their current situation, there are still many hours before dawn, how to spend these hours, even if it is dawn, it does not mean that it is safe, there is still a long way to go from the Macedonian border, and the Huns must have a back-up move.

A staff member next to him said: "General, if my guess is correct, there will definitely be several Hun cavalry in the back to intercept our rear without stopping, and they will not stop until they intercept and kill us all, so that they can not only avoid huge losses caused by large-scale frontal battles with us, but also keep us all here at the least and easiest cost!" ”

The shouts and screams from the rear were endless, Helorius's face was cloudy, if it wasn't for the night, his face must have been very exciting at this time, he thought for a long time and said categorically: "Since we have insight into the conspiracy of the Huns, then we can't follow their routine, immediately upload my order, stop advancing, the seventh wing quickly turned around, and supported the remaining part of the eighth wing and the ninth wing behind as quickly as possible, and the other armies moved closer to our Chinese army and formed a heavy infantry shield defense formation, If the Hun cavalry that raided the rest of the 8th and 9th Wings retreated, order them to move closer to this side with the 7th Wing! ”

"Yes, General!"

The rest of the Eighth and Ninth Wings had lost most of their men and horses at this time, and many of them were killed in the darkness of the night, except for some who fled, and it was not known whether they were killed by their own men or by the Hun cavalry, in short, the scene was very chaotic.

No one had the heart to resist, the Hun cavalry's riding skills and charging speed were too fast, and some soldiers had formed a shield formation before, but due to the small number of people and the instability of the people, they were quickly dispersed by the Hun cavalry again, and the Roman soldiers who were scattered were quickly shot by the Hun archers.

Just when the Hun cavalry rushed back and forth, and the archers kept shooting the fleeing Roman soldiers, the seventh wing turned around and came to the rescue under the order of Herolius, and the Hun archers on the periphery soon discovered this situation, and immediately someone blew the horn, which was the horn of retreat, as long as the Roman army turned back to rescue, they got the order to retreat immediately.

The Hun cavalry retreated very quickly, they did not love to fight at all, even if they had the fat head in their hands, they were willing to throw it away, after the seventh wing rushed back, they found that there were not many survivors of the eighth and ninth wings that had been raided, and most of them were still wounded.

Toron, who was watching and commanding from a distance, soon got the news, and a cavalryman reported to him: "Lord Tolon, the enemy has sent a wing to turn back to the rescue, and the main force in the middle of the enemy army has stopped advancing, and all of them are assembling and arranging defensive formations!" ”

"Oh? I can't believe that they are only now discovering our intentions, which is good! Toron was not surprised to hear the report, and he commanded: "Keep looking!" ”

"Yes, sir!"

Tolong said: "Herald, go and report to Lord Muren, and say that the Romans are not leaving, they are forming a turtle shell to defend us!" ”

The herald replied, "Yes, my lord! ”

The remnants of the Eighth and Ninth Wings were saved, and with the help of the Seventh Wing, they quickly rushed to Helorius's side, and now all the remaining troops were gathered around Herorius, and after counting, Helorius sadly found that there were only two thousand men around him.

Helorius's face was very pale, he had never suffered such a crushing defeat, an army of more than 10,000 people, only two thousand men were left in just a few days, and he had not fought the enemy head-on, which could not but be said to be a kind of sadness!

A centurion reported to Helorius: "My lord, everyone is here, and there may be soldiers scattered by the Hun cavalry, but we can't get in touch with them for a while!" ”

"Let's go down!" Herolius waved his hand a little decadently.

What's next? Helorius really didn't know what to do, there were still hours before dawn, and he couldn't let all the soldiers line up in such a defensive formation until dawn, right? If this is really the case, I am afraid that when the time comes, he and his soldiers will be exhausted without the Huns to fight.

After setting up the defensive formation, Helorius gathered several of the main officers and staff members around him to discuss what to do next, and they were now in the middle of the defensive formation, which was relatively safe.

Everyone realized that they couldn't defend here all the time, and if they wanted to survive, they had to send people to ask for help, and with their own strength now, they were afraid that they would not be able to get rid of the pursuit of the Hun cavalry, so they had to send people back to Macedonia to ask for help, and the speed had to be fast, otherwise it would be too late.
