Thank you for the tip!

Thanks to the Soviet Heavy Hammer Boy for a monthly pass!

A moment later, under the hazy moonlight, countless figures were rapidly approaching Xu Huang's location from the north, south, and west, and there were about a hundred thousand people. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

At this time, Xu Huang had already gone into battle in person, wielding a big axe and rushing to the front of the attack wave. The Spartan Legion front has been shattered, and I have to admit that the bravery of these Spartan Legion soldiers is still unwavering under such circumstances, and their expressions are firm and high-spirited.

A big axe in Xu Huang's hand flew up and down in the enemy bushes, just like a dragon that overturned the river and the sea, only to see that the brave Spartan soldiers were picked up and flew out, in front of Xu Huang, these Spartan warriors seemed to be vulnerable, in fact, Xu Huang was not easy, these Spartan warriors who did not want to die made him feel very heavy pressure.

Just when Xu Huang led the iron cavalry to attack the Spartan legion line, the two iron cavalry in the north and south had already broken through the defense line of the Roman legion.

The iron cavalry led by Xu Huang finally broke through the defense line of the Spartan army, and the scene was like a torrent breaking through the embankment. The Wei soldiers shouted violently, and quickly swept the scattered Spartan warriors into the boundless torrent of iron horses.

The Iron Rider brandished his sword and rushed past the Spartan Legion's shield spearmen, only to see the heads rise to the sky; The Spartan shield spearman frowned, used the shield as a cover and attacked the Wei cavalry galloping past him with his spear, only to hear a sonorous sound, and the barrier knife in the iron rider's hand slashed heavily on the shield, and at the same time saw a surge of blood, and the iron horse fell from the horse; The Iron Rider tossed the Spartan warrior to the ground like a huge wave that crashed into the embankment, and then trampled it over.

The fierce battle lasted two quarters of an hour, and the remnants of thousands of Spartan warriors retreated into the woods.

At this time, hundreds of thousands of Roman troops were about to surround the Wei army, and there was a violent wheezing sound in the night, it seemed that these Roman soldiers were running very hard, and more than 100,000 people were surging rapidly.

Xu Huang, who was able to kill, prepared to lead the iron cavalry into the woods. At this time, a scout officer hurriedly rushed to Xu Huang. The scout officer reined in his horse and hurriedly reported: "General, more than 100,000 enemy troops have been found in the north, south, and west, and they are about to surround us!" ”

Xu Huang was shocked, and then he thought that the main task at present was not to destroy the enemy but to break through.

"Did the two cavalry teams of Xu Tie and Ma Yue break through the enemy's defensive line?"

The scout officer replied, "It's already broken!" ”

"Excellent! Immediately send them an order to rendezvous at the northern sand wall! ”

The so-called 'sand wall' is a wall-like landscape formed by sand and stones on the edge of the northern desert, which is completely natural and can be described as a ghostly workmanship.

The scout officer answered, and immediately turned his horse's head and galloped away.

Xu Huang glanced around, and decisively ordered: "Retreat with me!" ”

Immediately, Xu Huang led his iron cavalry around the woods and swept towards the north, rushing out before the encirclement of the Roman army was about to form.

"Your Excellency, General, the enemy troops have run away!" The scout officer came to Schneider to report.

Schneider frowned and shook his horsewhip fiercely, "Send scouts to spy on them!" The armies rest on the spot and count the casualties! Message to Your Majesty! "Yes!"

Soon after, casualty figures were reported.

The Roman army suffered more than 23,000 casualties, including nearly 10,000 casualties among the Spartan warriors.

In this battle, the losses of the Wei army's iron cavalry were not small, with a total of more than 14,000 people, of which nearly 10,000 cavalry were caused during the attack on the Spartan army.

Schneider listened to the report and couldn't help frowning, and he had a feeling that stealing chickens and rice would not be successful.

Before the wee hours of the morning, Emperor Caracalla received a message from Schneider and frowned, although he was very upset, but not surprised.

Caracalla muttered, "In this way, I am afraid that I will not be able to go east in a short time!" ”

The next day, Caracalla received an urgent news from Rome, the rebels of the Senate raided Sardinia and surrounded the city of Sardinia, while the English rebels ransacked the Augusta warehouse on the other side of the English Channel due to the lack of Roman troops, looted more than 100 catapults and a large amount of grain and grass, and burned the entire warehouse!

Caracalla was shocked and hurriedly called everyone to discuss the matter.

The generals, exhausted from the fierce battle, suggested retreating, but Caracalla was hesitant.

In the end, Caracalla decided to continue the confrontation with the Wei army, and at the same time handed over the task of reinforcing Sardinia to the general Hetila, and let the general Seth, who had remained in the province of Leite, lead a group of men and horses to Augusta.

It seems that Caracalla is in a hurry to recover Ekbatana and Susa.

Later that day, Xu Huang and his tens of thousands of troops retreated to the desert near the sand wall.

"Is the tail still there?" Xu Huang asked.

Xu Tie nodded, frowned, and said, "It's still there!" It's still two teams! General, why don't you let us finish them off? ”

Xu Huang smiled: "Keep it, it's useful!" ”

In the middle of the night that day, the Roman scouts who were monitoring around the Wei army suddenly found that the main force of the Wei army was heading east, and the two teams of scouts hurriedly followed without thinking about it.

Soon it was quiet again.

In the woods not far from here, countless dark shadows were quietly hidden.

After a few moments, they headed west.

At noon the next day, Dura Europos. The sun was very strong at noon, and although it was already late autumn, Yusuf still had an inexplicable dryness.

Dura Europos was very calm, many of the defenders were chatting, and wagons full of grain and grass were being transported out of different warehouses, a busy scene.

Just when Yusuf was restless, Caracalla's biography from Schneider arrived, which said that Xu Huang's cavalry had escaped the encirclement by luck and was now fleeing eastward.

Yusuf couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, but there was some inexplicable worry in his heart.

On the same day, Cao Cao, who was far away in Ekbatana, received Xu Huang's flying pigeon biography, and after reading it, he immediately summoned the generals.

"Your Majesty, are you going to attack?" Ma Chao asked excitedly.

Cao Cao smiled, "Now is not the time to attack!" ”

raised the book in his hand, frowned, and said, "Komeito was ambushed by the Roman army last night!" Fortunately, Komeito broke out! ”

Zhao Yun pondered: "Your Majesty, do you want to answer General Gongming?" ”

Cao Cao smiled and nodded, then shook his head again, "Zilong guessed half right!" We are going to answer Komeito, but this is the task later, what we have to do now is to cooperate with Komeito to create the illusion that they are retreating eastward! ”

The generals looked at each other.

Cao Cao explained: "Gongming used a force last night to divert the enemy's scouts and create the illusion that the army was retreating eastward! In fact, Komeito led the main force towards Dura Europos in the west! ”

Hearing Cao Cao say this, Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao understood.

"I decided to go out with the main force to the front of Qingshi Ridge and go down to the village!"

Zhang Liao nodded and said: "Since then, the other party must have thought that our army was coming forward to suppress them in order to meet the cavalry of Gongming, and they are even more convinced of Gongming's eastward retreat!" ”

"Not bad! That's exactly what I wanted! Zilong,"

"The last general!"

"You led 300,000 people out to the lower village of Qingshi Ridge! Remember, all you have to do is take on the enemy! ”

"No!"

Cao Cao glanced at the generals under his hall, "The rest of the generals are sitting here with me, ready to support Zilong at any time!" ”

"No!" The generals agreed in unison.

After the generals retreated, Cao Cao rubbed his forehead, feeling a little exhausted.

Two days later, Zhao Yun led an army of 300,000 troops to the vicinity of Qingshi Ridge.

The temporary palace of Qinxi Fengkarakala.

Just as Caracalla was discussing the military with the generals, a scout rushed in and reported: "Your Majesty, the Wei army has arrived at Qingshiling!" “

Everyone couldn't help but be stunned, and Caracalla asked urgently, "How many people?" Who is the leader? ”

"About three or four hundred thousand people, the leader of the army will be Zhao Yun, the general of the Wei army!"

As soon as he heard Zhao Yun's name, Caracalla's heart couldn't help but tremble, he came back to his senses, hurriedly looked serious, glanced around, and found that no one noticed him, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

At this time, a general said puzzledly: "Three or four hundred thousand people are running to die?" ”

Caracalla said in a deep voice: "He won't come to die!" It must have been the Emperor of Wei who asked him to lead his army to temporarily suppress our army, so that their iron cavalry could safely retreat into their sphere of influence! ”

"So what do we do? It's better to defeat the Wei army in front of you in one go! ”

Caracalla thought for a moment and decisively ordered: "Order the 3rd, 7th, 10th, and 14th legions to attack the enemy camp!" Let Schneider lead the army back immediately! ”

"Yes!"

On the same day, the Roman army launched a fierce attack on the Wei army camp opposite the Qingshi Ridge, which relied on the hilly terrain.

Fierce fighting lasted a day, both sides paid a significant price, and the Romans temporarily ceased their forces.

The news that Zhao Yun led the army out to Qingshi Ridge reached Yusuf's hands that night, and Yusuf couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, only to feel that the big stone that had been pressing on his heart all these days had completely disappeared.

At the same time, Schneider, who had received an order from Caracalla, led a large army towards Qinxifeng.

A day later, in the evening. A convoy of about 10,000 men marched towards Dura Europos, and the procession dragged on for a long time, looking a little scattered.

Yusov, who was standing on the tower of the city gate, glanced at the team and said dissatisfiedly: "The waste of these local garrisons! The war isn't over yet! It's so lazy! ”

Turning his head, he asked a clerk on the side, "Is there a grain delivery team to receive the food notice?" ”

The clerk immediately replied, "Yes!" The notice said that a grain convoy consisting of 10,000 garrisons arrived around this evening! ”

As he spoke, he took out a copy of the book and presented it to Yusuf.

Yusuf took it, looked at it, and nodded, "Hmm! Yusuf said to the subordinate next to him: "You contact them, don't bother me with such a trivial matter!" ”

"Yes!" The ministry will answer the promise. (To be continued.) )
