What a Xu Huang! In a melee with more than a dozen Roman generals, he did not fall behind, and the big axe in his hand struck left and right, his expression was as calm as water, and his courage was extraordinary. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Xu Huang shouted, and the big axe in his hand and one of the opponent's spears shot out at the same time, and the spears of both sides ran straight towards each other's chests.

The Roman generals suddenly felt frightened and withdrew their hands to resist Xu Huang's indomitable blow, but it was too late. With a pop, the big axe in Xu Huang's hand pierced the chest of the Roman general.

Xu Huang picked up the corpse of the Roman warrior and threw it at the three Roman generals who were rushing up behind him, and at this time, two other Roman generals rushed towards Xu Huang from the front, with a fierce momentum.

The bodies of the three Roman generals who rushed from behind Xu Huang couldn't help but be stunned, paused, and subconsciously dodged or picked up the corpses of their comrades.

At this time, Xu Huang urged the horse to meet the two Roman generals in front of him, and the divine horse galloped between the two horses, and at the same time saw that the two originally fierce Roman generals actually flew backwards violently, spurting blood from their mouths.

The two Roman warriors fell heavily to the ground, and then the horses trampled over them.

Xu Huang rushed into the encirclement of the Roman generals in one breath, turned his horse's head, and rushed up to the Roman generals who had already killed the red-eyed generals and fired several arrows in succession, and the two Roman generals fell off their horses.

Xu Huang laughed loudly and urged the war horse to meet him.

Dozens of rounds of battle, in the process, two more Roman generals were killed.

Xu Huang rushed left and right among more than a dozen Spartan generals, brave and fearless, and was truly invincible.

The commander of the Nerente army was very frightened, and hurriedly ordered the generals in front to retreat.

The remaining seven generals were already a little frightened, and they immediately withdrew after receiving Nerant's order.

Xu Huang did not pursue.

The seven generals returned to the formation, and all of them looked depressed and ashamed.

It is no wonder that more than a dozen Spartan generals of the Roman army, including a brave general Gru who shocked Rome, besieged a Xu Huang and ended up with the death of seven generals.

Xu Huang rode his horse back into the military formation, "General!" The generals clenched their fists excitedly.

Xu Huang nodded, turned his horse's head to face the Roman army.

Xu Huang raised the big axe in his hand, "The forward battalion is ready!" ”

The 10,000 iron horsemen were in high spirits, and their eyes exuded a strong fighting spirit.

"Iron Cavalry Charge! Kill!! ”

"Kill!!" The 10,000 iron horsemen shouted violently and burst out, just like a torrent. Ten thousand iron horsemen swept towards the Spartan army line in a cloud of dust, with a momentum of no return.

The Spartan legion was also worthy of being the ace elite of the Roman army, and even if it let out a shout, it slammed the rectangular tower shield unique to the Roman army, and made a loud noise, and the momentum was awe-inspiring, and it seemed that it was not affected by the defeat just now.

Xu Huang frowned.

In the blink of an eye, the iron cavalry galloped to more than 70 steps in front of the Spartan legion line, and the forward battalion suddenly sent out a wave of arrow rain, which submerged into the Spartan legion, hitting the tower shield and making a tinkling sound like rain hitting banana leaves, and more than 100 Spartan soldiers fell to the ground with arrows.

It is strange that the Romans did not return fire with bows and crossbows at this time.

The iron cavalry fired two arrows in succession, then put away his bow and arrows, and rushed towards the Roman line with spears in hand.

At this time, the front of the Spartan legions was not disrupted by bows and arrows. This is not unexpected, it would be strange if the cavalry shot disrupted the line of the Spartan army, after all, the Spartan army was the most elite in the Roman army, and it was known as the iron-blooded army of 'three hundred can break ten thousand'.

The Iron Cavalry rushed into the Spartan Legion line like a huge wave, and the entire Spartan Front paused backwards.

The Iron Knights swung their spears at the Spartan legionnaires in front of them, and the Spartan legionnaires attacked with spears while defending with rectangular shields. One by one, the iron horsemen fell from their horses, and at the same time saw the Spartan soldiers being nailed to the ground with spears.

The two sides roared angrily, fighting with high spirits, and were not afraid of death.

Such a scene is terrifying.

Seeing that they could not break through the Spartan army's line from the front, the Iron Cavalry broke away.

At this moment, the crossbowmen of the Spartan legion, who had not appeared before, suddenly sent a wave of arrows at the iron horsemen, and more than 100 iron horsemen fell from their horses. If the ordinary army was attacked like this at this time, it would be more or less panicked, but the iron cavalry did not seem to be affected in the slightest, and the more than 2,000 cavalrymen closest to the Spartan army line immediately returned fire with bows and arrows, and more than 100 Spartan army crossbowmen fell in the rain of arrows. At the same time, the other iron horsemen divided into two groups and galloped towards the left and right flanks of the Spartan army.

Immediately afterwards, the two torrents of cavalry slammed against the line of the Spartan army, but still failed to break through.

The Iron Rider tried several times in different directions, but failed to do so. The defensive front of the Spartan Legion was like a tortoise shell.

Seeing this, Xu Huang had to order a temporary retreat.

In this brief clash between the elite of the Roman Empire and the Great Wei Empire, both sides lost more than 2,000 men each.

Xu Huang temporarily retreated the army to a forest a few miles ahead of the Roman line.

"General, this Roman army is not simple!?" General Xu Tie said with emotion.

Xu Huang looked at the marching map in front of him and said indifferently: "There is nothing strange about this!" The Spartan legion was the elite ace of the Roman army! It's normal to have this kind of combat power! Damn it! It looks like we don't have much of a chance! ”

Turning his head, he asked Xu Yue, "Xu Yue, what is the movement of Dura Europos City?" ”

Xu Yue replied: "The scout hasn't returned yet!" ”

Xu Huang muttered: "If the Roman army in the city attacks, then we still have a chance!" ”

"General, what are your plans?" Xu Tie asked.

Xu Huang said: "Wait for the scout to report back!" ”

On the side of the Spartan Legion.

Gru glanced at the woods in the distance and couldn't help asking, "General, what are the Wei troops going to do?" ”

At this time, the Legion Commander Nelont was frowning at the woods.

Nelunt shook his head, "I don't know! However, I don't think they have any good solutions! It doesn't matter what they want to do! ”

Gru nodded, "General, should we attack?" ”

"Nope! The Wei army was all cavalry, and we were almost all infantry! They are better at field attacks, and we are better at positional warfare! If we break away from the position, it will be difficult for our army to control the situation on the battlefield! ”

"But it's not a way to do it?" Gru frowned.

Nerente shook his head, "No! That's the best! In this way, the Wei army can be contained and unable to complete the set task! Now is not the time to be impressed!! ”

Then he ordered Gru: "Pass the order, all the scouts will come out, I want to know their every move!" ”

"Yes!"

Dura Europos.

"What?! You say that a Wei army of iron cavalry is confronting the Second Spartan Legion of the Empire thirty miles away?! Yusuf listened to the scout's report in disbelief.

The scout nodded, "Yes! The Wei army has about 50,000 people, all of them are cavalry, and it seems that they are the elite iron cavalry of the Wei army!! ”

Yusuf frowned and asked urgently, "What happened to the Second Spartan Legion?" ”

The scout shook his head, "It's not clear! ”

Yusuf said angrily: "Go and reconnoitre!" If there is any situation, report it immediately! ”

"Yes!" The scout said yes and hurried out of the lobby.

Yusuf paced back and forth and muttered, "This Wei army must be coming for the grain and grass here!" They want to annihilate the Second Spartan Legion first!! ”

When Kupe, the cronies on the side, heard this, he said in disbelief: "This, this can't be, right!?" ”

Yusuf waved his hand, "Nothing is impossible!" The combat power of the Wei army's iron cavalry, you don't know it! At that time, 50,000 iron horsemen swept thousands of miles of Jinguo, like wolves and tigers! The iron cavalry of the Wei army is definitely the most powerful iron army brigade in field combat today! ”

"But our Spartan legion will never be worse than it!" Kupe was unconvinced.

Yusuf nodded, "You're right! However, the two are good at different, our Spartan army is good at positional warfare and storming fortifications, while the iron cavalry of the Wei army is good at long-distance running and field battles! So if Nie Lunte recklessly attacked the Wei army, then the result would be difficult to say!! ”

Kupe couldn't help but worry when he heard this.

"General, why don't we go out of the city to help the war!"

"No!! Our mission is to defend this city! This city is stockpiled with the food and grass of the 800,000 troops on the front line, and if it is lost, the whole army may be overturned! This is by no means comparable to the fall of a Spartan legion!! ”

Yusuf said categorically, seeing that Kupe wanted to say something more, he frowned and said unhappily: "I have already decided!" You don't have to say it anymore! ”

Kupe didn't say anything more when he heard this.

About half an hour later, a scout returned.

Yusuf and Kupe, who were anxiously waiting for news, hurriedly greeted them. Yusuf stopped the scouts who wanted to salute and said urgently, "Get down to business!" ”

"General, the battle between the enemy army and the Spartan army has come to an end!"

"How?"

"Both sides are evenly divided, each losing thousands of people!"

Yusuf and Kupe couldn't help but look a little gloomy. Yusuf asked: "Is Nelunt holding on to a position?" ”

"Yes!"

Yusuf breathed a sigh of relief and laughed: "This Nelunt is not confused!! ”

"But!" The scout said suddenly.

Yusuf frowned and asked urgently, "But what?" Say whatever you have to say, don't stumble! ”

"Before the two armies clashed, Xu Huang, the general of the Wei army, challenged our army!"

"How?"

The scout swallowed his saliva and said with a hint of fear on his face: "Seven members of our Spartan Legion will be beheaded by them!" Even Gru was almost killed!! ”

"What?!" Kupe on the side was shocked.

Yusuf frowned and said, "Xu Huang, this person is so powerful!" Zhao Yun before, Xu Huang now, there seems to be a person named Ma Chao, who is said to be more powerful than these two! How come there are so many brave and very brave generals in the Wei army!? (To be continued.) )
