The surging cavalry wave of the Wei army passed through the Roman army, and the Roman army, which was already in a chaotic formation, was even more scattered. Pen ร— fun ร— Pavilion www. ๏ฝ‚๏ฝ‰๏ฝ‘๏ฝ•๏ฝ‡๏ฝ…ใ€‚ ๏ฝ‰๏ฝŽ๏ฝ†๏ฝ

The Wei army turned its horse and attacked again, and the Roman army was not afraid to usher in the wave of Wei cavalry.

The Wei army swept through with iron cavalry, and this time the Roman army was almost powerless to fight back.

When the Wei cavalry was about to launch a third charge, the Roman army finally showed a hint of fear.

Ma Chao, who was immediately at the forefront, raised the dragoon spear in his hand high, and the soldiers covered in blood couldn't help but exude excitement and bloodthirsty killing intent.

"Kill!" The dragoon spear in Ma Chao's hand pointed forward sharply.

The Wei army's iron cavalry rushed towards the uneasy Roman army like a storm. In the blink of an eye, the two sides fought, the momentum of the Wei army's iron cavalry was even more amazing than before, and the Roman army showed a look of fear, but they were still struggling to resist.

The balance of victory gradually tilted in favor of the Wei army, and the Roman army gradually turned into lambs under the claws of the wolves, and the Roman army began to collapse, just like the dominoes that fell on the first side.

The Roman army finally collapsed completely under the ferocious rush of the Wei army.

Carters was shocked and personally led all the soldiers and horses as reserves to meet him.

At this time, the main force of the Roman army, including the Second Spartan Army, was fighting with the main force of the Wei army in front of the camp, although the Roman army had a certain advantage in numbers, but the combat effectiveness of the first army of the Wei army was too fierce, especially the Mo Dao army wearing a new type of heavy armor and wielding the Mo knife, they were simply the grim reaper from hell, cold-blooded and ruthless, stepping on the blood of the enemy's corpse and advancing unhurriedly, and the Mo knife in his hand flew up and down like the sickle of death.

Cartes's more than 10,000 reserves were no match for the Wei army's iron cavalry, and they were routed in less than a quarter of an hour after the battle, and Carters himself almost died under Ma Chao's gun.

Carters led the defeated army to retreat near the Chinese camp, trying to use the Chinese camp as a basis to block the onslaught of the Wei army's iron cavalry, but he himself knew that this could only be delayed for a while, but he could not resist it.

Carters climbed to the lookout of the Chinese army camp and frowned as he looked at the Wei army's iron cavalry in front of him who was preparing to attack.

"Look, General!" The sentry beside him shouted in surprise as he pointed into the distance.

Carters hurriedly looked in the direction of the sentry's finger, and saw countless cavalry appearing on the horizon, it was their army, and it looked like there were at least 100,000 cavalry!

The 100,000 cavalry roared with smoke and dust, and the whole earth trembled.

A moment later, the sentry shouted again: "General, the Wei people have retreated!" They retreated! โ€

Carters hurriedly looked down, only to see that the Wei army's iron cavalry, which was originally preparing to launch an attack, was rapidly retreating, and at the same time, the Wei army in front was also retreating in an orderly manner.

Zhao Yun shook the horsewhip with some regret, "It's just a little bit!" Falling short! โ€

Turning his head to Zhao Tuo, he said: "Order the catapult to prepare!" Order the other two 10,000 men to prepare to respond! โ€

"No!"

Soon after, the Wei army withdrew one after another.

A Roman cavalry attempted to counterattack, but was bombarded back by a Wei catapult.

Cartes couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw Kampal, and said with great joy: "It's good that you came in time, otherwise ยทยทยทยทยทยท" Carters shook his head.

Kampal said: "Your Excellency the Great General is worried that your side will fail to send us!" โ€

glanced around, saw corpses all over the field, and said in shock: "The number of the other party is smaller than yours, unexpectedly!" โ€

Custer took a deep breath, subconsciously glanced at the east bank, and said with palpitations: "The Wei Army's Iron Cavalry and the First Legion really live up to their reputation!" The iron cavalry of the Wei army is as unstoppable as the flames in the forest, and the Mo Dao army of the First Legion is like a demon in hell! I now finally understand why our army has been defeated again and again! โ€

Custer and Kampal urged their men to rearrange their defenses, and they kept busy until dawn before returning to the big tent.

The two of them sat down on the stools, looking very tired.

At this moment, one of the generals hurried into the big tent.

"Two generals, the casualty count is out!"

The two of them showed a look of concern, and Custer asked urgently, "How is it?" โ€

The general said with a heavy face: "There are more than 70,000 casualties, including more than 40,000 killed!" โ€

Custer and Kampal exhaled heavily, and Custer said bitterly: "I didn't expect that 70,000 soldiers would be killed or wounded in less than a day!" He shook his head.

Kampal said: "I think the result should be pretty good! At least the Wei army was repelled by us! โ€

Custer nodded and said with a wry smile: "I can only comfort myself like this!" โ€

He asked the officer, "What about the casualties of the Wei people?" โ€

"The casualties are also estimated to exceed 40,000, most of which are the Xianbei regiments of the Wei people!"

Kampal frowned and asked suspiciously, "Could it be that the main attack is not the First Army?" โ€

Custer shook his head, "No, it's the First Legion!" โ€

smiled bitterly, "But their combat power is too strong!" โ€

Kampal was silent for a moment and muttered, "So it seems that with our current strength, we can't launch a counterattack?" โ€

Custer nodded, affirmingly, "As long as we can hold this hole, it's enough!" Attacking rashly is only afraid that the gains outweigh the losses! Kampal, does Your Excellency the General have an order for me? โ€

Kampal said: "Your Excellency the Great General wants me to tell you to command the army with confidence and boldness, and he believes in you!" โ€

Custer couldn't help but glow with gratitude.

The Wei army battalion.

Zhao Yun, Ma Chao and other generals gathered in front of the sand table to discuss, on the bank opposite the Mulberry River in an arc planted eight flags, each flag represents a legion, that is to say, Zhao Yun The Roman army in front of them has eight legions, in addition to the previous Wei army, there are also more than 300,000 troops, and the strength is extremely strong.

Zhao Tuo frowned and said: "Now in addition to the nearly 200,000 infantry troops on the opposite side, there are 150,000 cavalry, and the strength of our cavalry is already difficult to play!" โ€

Ma Tie nodded, pointed to the sand table, and said with some annoyance: "These guys are hugged together, like hedgehogs, so we have nowhere to start!" โ€

Zhao Yun looked at Ma Chao and asked, "Meng Qi, what do you think?" โ€

Ma Chao frowned and shook his head, looking up at Zhao Yun, "Zilong, I don't think we seem to have any chance now!" โ€

Zhao Yun looked at the sand table and fell silent.

The gaze turns to Dura Europos.

The Roman army continued to storm the city, like a raging and boundless tide, and in the middle, Dura Europos, was like a small reef in the ocean, which was flooded by the tide from time to time.

The battle is more fierce than ever!

The officers and men of the Sixth Legion of the Wei Army resisted the continuous wave of attacks of the Roman army with the greatest courage and will, and the Assyrian servant army who fought with the Sixth Legion of the Wei Army was all terrified, and if they were not mixed into the battalions of the Sixth Legion, they would have collapsed. The wolf smoke was billowing in the sky, and the catapults of both sides were staggered in the wolf smoke, and the rumbling roar was intertwined with the earth-shattering killing sound, forming a thrilling music.

The day's battle was finally over, and the exhausted soldiers were asleep in the sea of corpses and blood, while others were cleaning the battlefield, but their figures were simply disproportionate to the scene of corpses piling up in front of them.

Zhang Ren, accompanied by more than a dozen personal soldiers, inspected the city wall and cheered up the soldiers.

When I came to the city gate, I looked out, and my brows were furrowed.

A herald hurriedly rushed to Zhang Ren's side and reported: "General, Your Majesty's message!" โ€

Zhang Ren's eyes lit up, snatched the handbook, and read it quickly, but his brows tightened.

"The heralds will come to the council chamber at once!"

"No!"

Zhang Ren glanced down at the handbook in his hand, took a deep breath, his eyes were fixed, and muttered: "It seems that it is time for me to be loyal to Your Majesty and the court!" โ€

Glancing towards the east, the tiger's eyes revealed a look of absolute color.

Zhang Ren looked at the generals under the hall, the generals of the Wei army seemed to realize something, everyone had a sad look on their faces, and the five Assyrian generals all looked uncertain.

Zhang Ren frowned, raised the handbook in his hand, and said, "This is the handbook just sent by His Majesty!" โ€

All the generals looked concerned.

Zhang Ren said: "Your Majesty has already led an army of 600,000 on the way here!" โ€

As soon as these words came out, the crowd boiled, and those Assyrian generals all showed a look of relief.

After the account was dispersed, Zhang Ren left two of his closest generals.

"General, I don't know what to order?" A subordinate general asked with his fists clenched, both of them looking emotionally high, perhaps because they heard that Cao Cao would personally lead an army of 600,000 to the battlefield.

Zhang Ren did not speak, but handed the letter in his hand to the two of them.

The two of them took it and looked at it suspiciously, and were shocked, "General, this?" There was a deep look of incomprehension on his face.

Zhang Ren said indifferently: "This is the real situation!" Your Majesty is determined to deal with the people of the Jin Kingdom with all our strength first, so we will have to rely on ourselves! โ€

The two generals frowned, and one of them said worriedly: "The Roman army outside the city is ten times larger than ours, and there are many more catapults than us!" In two days, our army has already paid a lot of casualties, and these Roman troops seem to be different from the past, and their attack is quite fierce and fierce! We're afraid we won't be able to resist for long! โ€

Zhang Renhu's eyes froze, and he shouted: "We are soldiers of the Great Wei Empire, we can only die in battle, and we must not retreat!" โ€

The two generals couldn't help but straighten their waists, "Don't worry, general!" We will not let the flag be disgraced! โ€

A subordinate general asked puzzledly, "General, since His Majesty's order is like this, why did you ask for it just now?" โ€

Zhang Ren frowned, "I am very relieved about the soldiers of the Sixth Legion, but it is different for others!" โ€

The two generals were moved. (To be continued.) )
