Ma Chao pulled out his dragoon spear, and Edfu fell with a bang.
"Edver!" Tula let out a cry of grief and rushed out.
Seeing this, Ma Chao immediately whistled at the Shadow Divine Horse not far away, and the Absolute Shadow Divine Horse immediately ran over.
Ma Chao turned over and got on the horse to meet Tula.
The two sides fought for more than a dozen rounds without a win.
Ma Chao suddenly rode his horse out of the battle and rushed back to his own army.
Tula Zema came to the front of the Wei army's formation, and shouted with a sad and angry face: "Ma Chao, if you are a warrior, come out and fight me!" β
Ma Chao laughed, "Grandpa won't play with you anymore!" Yu Luo, he actually led thousands of iron horsemen to turn around one hundred and eighty degrees and left.
Tula was stunned for a moment and shouted, "Don't run! The horse chased after him.
Seeing this, Revier immediately led a large army to follow.
Soon after, thousands of Wei cavalry rushed straight into the transit station.
When Tula saw the gate wide open, he chased him in without thinking.
Then LΓ©vier and his army arrived, and when they saw the gate wide open, they rushed in without doubting it.
The army came to the open flat in the middle of the transit station, where Tula was shouting and cursing.
Revie Zema came to Tula's side and asked, "What about the enemy?" β
"I don't know!"
"Don't know?"
Tula explained: "When I came in, there was no one! I don't know where they are hiding? An angry look on his face.
Revier frowned, and suddenly his heart moved, "Not good! We may have fallen into the trap of the Wei people! β
As if in response to his words, a wave of rockets suddenly flew out of all around, and the rockets did not fall among them, but on the surrounding grain and straw stacks.
The Roman soldiers were shocked when they saw this, and Revier hurriedly ordered: "Hurry! Exit and go! β
The army hurriedly retreated towards the outside of the transit station.
However, at this moment, a large fireball suddenly exploded from the only exit, and the entire entrance and exit instantly turned into a sea of fire.
At this moment, the 20,000 local garrisons panicked and began to flee in all directions without obeying orders.
However, the Spartan soldiers still seemed very calm.
Levier grabbed the placket of the garrison general and shouted, "Take care of your people! β
Without fear, the general of the garrison stared at the famous Spartan warrior of Reviere, and retorted: "General, if you had not followed my advice, how could you have fallen into the trap of the enemy!" My men are only local garrisons, and there is no way to compare with you Spartan warriors, and you know that! It's no use getting angry at me! β
Revier couldn't help but be speechless, threw away the general of the garrison, and said to Tula on the side: "Rush out from the place where the fire is smallest!" "Yes!"
Revier turned to the general of the garrison and said, "Take your men and follow us!" β
Revier and Tula led 5,000 Spartan soldiers to rush to the south side, the fire on the south side was the smallest, and the garrison general led 10,000 garrisons to follow, and the other 10,000 garrisons were completely chaotic and could not be controlled at all.
However, the Romans rushed for a while only to find that the road was not open at all, and had to stop.
Looking around, I saw a monstrous sea of fire, the waves of fire rolled and whistling in mid-air, like monsters, several Roman soldiers were suddenly swept into the tongue of fire, and instantly turned into several human-shaped torches, which was extremely thrilling.
All the Roman soldiers were in despair.
On a hill not far away, nearly 10,000 black-clothed and black-armored iron horsemen looked at the raging sea of fire not far away.
"General, we're just watching?" Yang Meng asked boredly.
Ma Chao said angrily: "No, why don't you go to fight the fire!" β
The generals couldn't help but laugh.
Ma Chao glanced at the monstrous fire that was already out of control, and said, "Our business is done!" Let's go! β
Nearly 10,000 iron horsemen quickly retreated into a nearby mountain forest.
In the evening of the same day, the raging fire finally subsided.
Thousands of Roman soldiers who had been in a hurry for a long time immediately rushed into the fire.
Khedira, the great general, and tens of thousands of other soldiers waited anxiously outside.
Half an hour later, an officer rushed to the Khedira horse with a sad face and reported: "Your Excellency, General, they, they are all dead!" It's miserable!! β
Although he had expected it, when he suddenly heard the exact report, Khedira still couldn't help but feel a pain in his heart, and his whole body shook violently. calmed down his excited heart for a while, and said in a deep voice: "Be sure to find the body of every soldier!" β
"Yes!"
A subordinate general said with a worried face: "Your Excellency General, according to the current situation, we are afraid that the canyon side will not be able to resist for long!" β
Khedira frowned and nodded, "How are the city defenses of Kari City prepared?" β
The general replied: "Everything that can be arranged has been arranged!" β
"Excellent! It's success or failure! Leave it to fate! β
That night, the news of the heavy losses from the raid on the transit station reached the ears of the defenders of the Kari Gorge, and the morale of tens of thousands of garrisons was shaken, and even the Spartan army showed some signs of instability.
Although the Spartan army was strong, it was impossible not to fluctuate in the mood under the situation of consecutive defeats!
That night, the Wei army launched a fierce attack on the Roman defensive front of the Grand Canyon of Carney.
More than 100 catapults marched forward in three groups under enemy fire, while 20,000 light cavalry guarded their positions on both flanks, and 50,000 assault troops lined up outside enemy fire.
Finally, after losing a quarter of the catapults, the remaining catapults were able to shoot at the opposing catapult positions.
The catapults of the two sides fiercely bombarded each other, and the shells pierced the sky like a meteor shower in the night sky and fell into the positions of both sides.
The Shenwei cannons in the Wei army could inflict a fatal blow on the enemy beyond the enemy's range, but the only twelve Shenwei cannons in Zhao Yun's hand were all in the cities of Qinxifeng and Dura Europos due to their excessive weight.
The Wei artillery suppressed the opponent's artillery.
Zhao Yun pulled out the horizontal knife at his waist, pointed forward sharply, and roared: "Attack!" β
The 20,000 soldiers immediately shouted violently, broke away from the main formation, and rushed towards the opponent's city wall.
The Roman general in charge of the defense hurriedly urged the sergeants who were hiding under the city wall to go up the city wall.
The soldiers of the garrison looked very nervous, while the Spartan soldiers were much calmer, but there was a slight blank look in their eyes, and they were not sure if they could hold the pass in front of them.
The Wei assault troops surged under the city walls.
Crossbowmen on both sides rained down on each other with a torrential rain of arrows, and the Wei soldiers who shouted and charged fell to the ground one after another, and the Roman soldiers on the city walls fell from the walls one after another.
The Wei soldiers set up a ladder and rushed towards the city wall, and the rumbling city cart rushed straight to the city gate in the shouts of the soldiers.
At this moment, the boiling oil was poured down from the hole in the city gate, and the city car was drenched through, and the soldiers who were splashed with boiling oil could not help but scream and fell down, and then a torch was thrown down, and it landed on the roof of the city car and bounced, and the fire curtain suddenly spread out and enveloped the entire city car, and some soldiers were also engulfed in flames.
The Wei soldiers rushed to the head of the city like a tidal wave, shouting excitedly, and the opponent's boulders fell down like raindrops, only to see Wei soldiers fall from mid-air.
Finally, Wei soldiers rushed to the city, and after a short and tragic battle, all the Wei soldiers who rushed to the city were killed, but then more Wei soldiers rushed to the city.
The Wei soldiers roared and engaged in a melee with the enemy troops at the head of the city.
At this time, a group of Wei soldiers near the city gate dragged the burning city car out with iron chains, and then another city car rumbled up again, and Peng Lie crashed against the thick city gate with a bang.
As more and more Wei soldiers stormed the city walls, the Roman garrison responsible for defending began to waver, and at this critical moment, the Roman Spartan legions stepped up.
A fierce battle was fought against the Wei assault forces at the head of the wall. The soldiers on both sides roared, waving their blades in their hands, and blood flew in the air.
At the same time, the same bloody battles were going on on many sections of the city wall.
The fierce battle lasted for nearly half an hour, and the rumbling roar could be clearly heard even in the city of Kari dozens of miles away, and the flickering fires could be seen.
"It's so fierce over there! I don't know if our people can withstand it?! A drinker in the tavern looked at the sky to the east and said worriedly.
At this time, the tavern was crowded with drinkers, a very lively scene, but it was very abnormal, you must know that this time is the third watch in the middle of the night, and the tavern would have been closed at this time in normal times.
Everyone's faces were gloomy, and many people kept pouring wine.
One of the drinkers next to him shook his head, looking dejected.
Such a look immediately aroused the dissatisfaction of the surrounding drinkers, and one of them asked, "What kind of expression do you have?" Do you think we're going to lose? β
The drinker who was in the middle of the crowd frowned and shouted, "What are you all staring at me for? I'm not from Wei! β
The drinkers couldn't help but feel a little stupid.
The scene fell silent.
For a long time, a drinker said worriedly: "I heard that the leading general of the Wei army is Zhao Yun!" β
A drinker next to him nodded, "Not only that, I heard that 700,000 people, including the First Army and the Wei Army's iron cavalry, came!" "Who said that? I've heard that there are more than a million troops! As soon as these words came out, everyone present immediately became even more panicked.
The scene fell silent again, and it was a long time before someone spoke again, "Hey! I wonder how long our army can hold out? β
A drinker next to him said sadly and pessimistically: "I'm afraid it won't last long!" You may not know that before that, the Empire had already lost more than 400,000 main forces! There are only about 200,000 people defending this place now, and most of them are still garrisons that don't have much combat effectiveness! (To be continued.) )
