Just as Cao Cao urged his soldiers to storm Ecbatana day and night, the Roman Emperor Caracalla was also urging the Roman army to storm Qin Xifeng, which was guarded by Zhao Yun, day and night.

At this time, the city of Qinxi Fengcheng has been riddled with holes, broken walls, many places on the city wall have been collapsed by catapults, the city gate tower has long been left with only a few broken columns, and most of the houses in the city are also seriously damaged, which is caused by the long-range fire of the Roman army.

The entire city wall was almost blackened with gunsmoke, mixed with a thick dark red, which was shocking.

The Roman army shouted and poured like a tidal wave on the walls; The soldiers of both sides fought bloody battles on the city wall, the sound of killing shook the sky, and the stone bullets flew into the city with a roar, stirring up dust and wreckage, and the catapults of the Wei army did not return fire, perhaps they had lost all in the fierce battle during this time!

The fierce attack subsided in the evening, and the Karensa army immediately seized the time to clean up the battlefield and repair the walls as much as possible, while the Wei army seized the time to rest in anticipation of the onslaught of the Romans.

Now, the rebels under Karen Sa have been reduced to laborers cleaning up the battlefield, and the task of fighting has almost entirely fallen to the Wei army.

Zhao Yun and Karen Sa stood on the tower of the city gate, looking at the noisy military camp of the Romans outside the city.

Karen Sa frowned and said, "It seems that the Roman army will launch another assault soon!" ”

Karen Sa's face was darkly melancholy.

Zhao Yun said indifferently: "I believe that the Romans must be very tired, as long as they persist, they can hold on!" ”

Karensar appears to be lacking in confidence, not only because of the current unfavorable situation in the war, but also because several rebel forces in Jerusalem and Egypt are in the midst of retreat, which Karensa received earlier today.

The 70,000 rebels in Jerusalem have retreated into the city of Jerusalem and are surrounded by Roman legions, while the hundreds of thousands of rebels in Egypt are also in the midst of continuous defeat, and the situation is not optimistic.

Zhao Yun glanced at Karen Sa, and said indifferently: "Lord Governor, you should be full of confidence in the future!" For the Romans, there is simply no place for a traitor like you! ”

Karen Sa's heart was shocked, and a thought that had just risen disappeared without a trace in an instant.

Karen Sa glanced at Zhao Yun and smiled: "No need to be reminded by General Zhao!" I'm well aware! ”

Zhao Yun turned his head to look out of the city.

Half an hour later, the war drums and horns unique to the Roman army sounded again, and hundreds of thousands of Roman troops appeared in the field of vision of the defenders, like a surging tide, the momentum was terrifying, but the formation of the Romans seemed to be somewhat random.

Zhao Yun said to Zhang Ren, the general beside him: "The enemy army is frivolous, just a chance to take advantage of it!" Gather all the light cavalry and Hun cavalry of the Fifth Army at once! ”

Zhang Ren was stunned, "The general wants to attack!?" ”

Zhao Yun nodded, "Don't say more, go quickly!" ”

"No! Zhang Ren promised and hurried down the city wall.

"General, this formation seems a little inappropriate!?" One of the generals said to the general with some concern.

At this time, it was not the Emperor Caracalla who led the siege of the city, nor the general Schneider, but Terry, the most outstanding general under Schneider.

The reason why Schneider asked Emperor Caracalla to send Terry to lead the siege of the city was actually to give Terry a chance to perform in order to promote him.

Terry said proudly: "At this moment, at this moment, the Wei army has not collapsed, it is already commendable, where can you still lead the crowd to attack?!" Even if they have this mind, I'm afraid they don't have the guts! ”

Before Terry's words fell, he saw the gate of Qin Xifeng suddenly open, and 40,000 cavalry roared out from under the city gate. Terry couldn't help but be stunned, feeling as if he had been slapped in the face.

He said in a deep voice: "Hmph! I didn't think I would dare to come out and die! Cavalry on both flanks intercept them! ”

Immediately, 20,000 Roman cavalry attacked from the left and right flanks to meet the Wei army.

The iron horsemen of both sides fought in a wasteland under the city gates.

The light cavalry officers of the Fifth Legion had long been holding back their strength, and at this time they burst out, suppressing the somewhat absent-minded Roman cavalry as soon as they engaged.

The Roman cavalry couldn't help but be frightened in the face of the surging Wei cavalry.

The Roman cavalry finally reacted, but it was too late at this time, and the 20,000 Roman cavalry were completely swept away by the torrent of Wei army's iron cavalry.

The Wei cavalry crushed the Roman cavalry with one blow, and then rushed towards the Roman infantry line.

Terry was taken aback by this, and hurriedly ordered the shield spearmen to prepare for battle.

Equipped with a large round shield with a diameter of more than one meter and a spear nearly two meters long, this kind of shield spearman is extremely good at positional warfare, and the defense line composed of this kind of shield spearman is difficult for even the Wei army's Xuanjia iron cavalry to break through head-on.

However, at this time, the defense line of the Roman shield spearmen was very thin, and only 3,000 shield spearmen defended the entire frontal line.

The reason for this situation was entirely due to carelessness, Terry did not think that the Wei army would attack at all, so he only symbolically brought 3,000 shield spearmen into battle, and the rest were all assault infantry who were good at attacking cities.

The 40,000 iron cavalry of the Wei army swept towards the Roman front, and the momentum became more and more vigorous, and smoke and dust flew all over the sky.

In the face of such a scene, although the entire Roman army seemed a little nervous, it did not show the slightest fear, the main army of the Roman army is the main army after all!

The torrent of Wei cavalry rushed to the Roman shield spearmen's line. The three thousand Roman shield spearmen shouted in unison, and the whole person bowed slightly, and pressed the round shield with his shoulder. In the blink of an eye, the torrent of cavalry slammed into the line of the Roman army's shield spearmen, like a storm crashing on the shore, which was extremely amazing.

Nearly a hundred cavalrymen suddenly fell from their horses, and many more Roman shield spearmen were knocked away by the tremendous force of the impact.

The Wei army broke through the Roman army's shield spearmen line in one go, and smashed into the Roman army's formation, surging and killing, unstoppable.

Seeing that the entire Roman army was about to collapse, tens of thousands of Roman horsemen arrived in time.

It turned out that Caracalla received relevant information when the Wei cavalry had just left the city, and Caracalla, who was extremely afraid of the Wei army's combat strength, immediately ordered the general Schneider to lead tens of thousands of elite cavalry to attack, and at the same time ordered the Third Spartan Army to attack.

Tens of thousands of elite Roman cavalry met the wave of Wei cavalry attacks, and the cavalry battle began. The iron horses of both sides roared and galloped on the wasteland, fighting hard, smoke and dust stirring over the battlefield, blood and cold light reflecting each other, and the roar was earth-shattering.

The scene was thrilling.

I saw a Wei cavalry and a Roman cavalry rushing together, the two shouted, and handed over the blades in their hands at the same time, and then saw a flash of blood, and the two fell from their horses at the same time.

At the same time, another Wei cavalry galloped past a Roman cavalryman, slashing out horizontally, and the head of the Roman cavalry rose into the sky, but at that moment another Roman cavalry rushed from one side and cut the Wei cavalry off his horse with a sword.

The tragic cavalry battle lasted for nearly half an hour, and Zhao Yun saw that there would be no gain from any further fighting, so he ordered a retreat. The Wei cavalry immediately broke away from the Roman cavalry and quickly retreated into the city.

The Roman cavalry pursued them under the city gates, where they were beaten back by a rain of arrows on the walls.

The Great Tent of the Roman Army. Terry knelt in the center of the tent with a look of shame.

"How much did you lose in this battle?" Caracalla asked in a deep voice.

Terry replied, "The whole army has lost 20,000 people! ”

The Romans suffered nearly 20,000 casualties in this Wei raid, nearly half of which were inflicted by the Wei army after breaking through the Roman shield spearmen line.

Kara Kara abruptly said, "That's not all! Today's loss has caused a setback to the prestige of our army! Terry, how am I going to punish you? ”

Terry pleaded, "The last general is willing to die to apologize!" "This Terry is also a very responsible person!

"Excellent! Come on, drag him out for me, behead him!! ”

The generals were taken aback, looked at each other, and knelt down together to plead.

When the generals saw that Caracalla was going to move seriously, they couldn't help but be taken aback, and hurriedly interceded for Terry. Schneider said, "Your Majesty, although Terry is guilty, his guilt is not to death!" Please spare his life! The generals chimed in.

Caracalla's anger subsided a little, he glanced at Terry, and said in a deep voice, "Since the generals intercede for you, I will spare your life!" However, you must make meritorious contributions to the crime, otherwise you will still be unable to escape death! ”

Terry excitedly bowed, "Thank you, Your Majesty!" The end will definitely go to the soup and fight the fire! ”

Caracalla sat back in his seat and said to Terry, "Get up! ”

"Yes!" Terry said yes and retreated to Schneider's next position.

Caracalla glanced at the generals and frowned, "I just received Batra's flying pigeon message, and the Wei army's offensive is unexpectedly fierce!" They probably won't be able to support it for long! ”

The generals couldn't help but be surprised, and Schneider said, "How is this possible?!" Although Emperor Wei personally supervised the battle, the troops under his command were all second- and third-rate troops of the Wei army, so it should be impossible for such a situation to occur so soon!? ”

Caracalla pondered, "Batra is cautious and haughty! If it weren't for the fact that the situation was very critical, he would never have sent such a distress message! ”

After a pause, he frowned and said: "The basis for our previous conclusion that the combat strength of the second- and third-line armies of the Wei army is not strong is only based on our own experience, and at the same time, combined with the judgment of the combat strength of the Xianbei army and the Western Regions army, which are similar to servant armies, we have not witnessed the combat power of the second- and third-line troops of the Wei army!" No matter how you say these second- and third-line troops, they are also Wei people, and even if their combat power is worse, they are not far behind! ”

Caracalla glanced at Schneider and said in a deep voice: "Now is not the time to discuss the combat strength of the second and third line armies of the Wei army!" Our priority is to take the city we are holding! As long as it is captured, the initiative of the entire battlefield is in our hands! ”

That night, the Roman army did not attack the city as usual, and the entire Roman army camp was quiet. (To be continued.) )
