Chapter 1233: Betrayal
Xu Chu, who was beside Cao Cao, couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "I can't imagine that these Fanbang barbarians are so heroic!?" ”
Cao Cao nodded and said in a deep voice: "It is not for nothing that the Roman Empire can become a great empire spanning three continents! ”
Cao Cao and his entourage came to the governance center, and at this time, the governance center had been simply cleaned up. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Entering the lobby, Cao Cao stood on the main seat and glanced at the generals, and said with emotion: "Everyone, this victory is not easy to come by!" ”
All the generals couldn't help but show emotional expressions.
"Wen Yuan, how much did our army lose in this battle?" Cao Cao asked.
Zhang Liao replied: "The total number of casualties in our army in this battle is nearly 150,000! 110,000 enemies were annihilated, of which less than 2,000 were taken prisoner! ”
Cao Cao couldn't help but take a deep breath, "150,000 dead and wounded!?" In less than half a month of the war, 150,000 people were lost!! ”
After a pause, "Leyang, you are responsible for taking care of the dead and wounded soldiers!" ”
"No!" Leyang made a promise.
Cao Cao asked Zhang Liaodao, "Wenyuan, how is the situation on Zilong's side?" ”
Zhang Liao shook his head, "I haven't received the latest report yet!" ”
Cao Cao thought for a moment and ordered: "Wen Yuan, you immediately lead an army of 200,000 to help Zilong!" ”
"No!" Zhang Liaohong agreed, and he was ready to retreat.
"Wait! Wenyuan, be careful! ”
Zhang Liao's eyes flashed with gratitude, and he made a promise with his fists, and then most of them left the lobby.
On this day, Qin Xifeng's offensive and defensive battles also reached a critical moment. The 3,000 warriors of the Fifth Legion of the Wei Army resisted the fierce onslaught of the main army of the Roman army, which was ten times their size, at the gap.
The face of the Mo knife warriors was like a rock, their eyes were like harsh winter, and the terrifying Mo knife in their hands was more than two meters long, constantly setting off a rain of blood, and in front of them were several layers of corpses, almost all of which belonged to Roman soldiers; The Roman soldiers were fearless and rushed towards the line of the Modao army, surging like the waves of the sea, and as tragic as moths to fire.
At the same time, the 3rd Spartan Legion of the Roman Army attacked the city wall near the city gate and engaged in a bloody battle with the soldiers of the 5th Legion defending the wall.
The ordinary soldiers of the Fifth Legion were slightly inferior to the Spartan Legions, the most elite of the Roman army, but their bravery was not inferior by half a point.
The soldiers of the Fifth Army of the Wei Army defended the glory of the Wei army and the dignity of the empire with their lives and blood.
Caracalla took a deep breath and sighed, "It's really uncomfortable to have such a tragic fight!" ”
General Schneider suppressed his excitement and said: "The Wei army is an awe-inspiring warrior, but our soldiers are not inferior!" I'm so glad! There are such strong and respectable opponents in this day and age!! ”
Caracalla nodded.
Just when the soldiers of the Fifth Legion of the Wei Army were fighting desperately with the Roman army, suddenly there was a huge noise in the direction of the south gate.
Zhao Yun, who had just retreated from the battlefield, turned his head sharply to look in the direction of the south gate, and saw a surging tide of soldiers surging towards the city. Suddenly startled, "What's going on?" ”
At this moment, a scout rushed to report: "General, it's not good! Karensa's army opened the gates and let the Romans in!! ”
"What?! This bastard!! Zhao Yun scolded angrily.
"General, the city gate has been broken, and it is impossible to hold the city with the current strength of our army! Retreat! Zhang Ren said urgently.
Zhao Yun glanced at the officers and men of the Fifth Army who were still fighting to the death with the enemy, slammed his fist on the battlement, and said in a deep voice: "All armies immediately retreat to the east!" The 5th Regiment of Light Cavalry will stay with me and break the rear!! ”
Zhang Ren was taken aback when he heard this, "General! ”
Zhao Yun interrupted him and said in a deep voice, "Execute the order!" "A look of determination.
Zhang Ren had no choice but to make a promise and rushed towards the city wall.
Zhao Yun looked at the wave of Roman troops outside the city like an ocean, twisted his eyebrows, and turned away suddenly.
The Wei army hurriedly rushed towards the east gate, and Zhang Ren and several other generals commanded from the side.
At this time, Zhao Yun led the light cavalry of the 10,000 Fifth Army to intercept the wave of the Roman army.
The two sides engaged in fierce battles in the streets and alleys of the city, and although the Wei army was far inferior in numbers to the other side, it was not weak in momentum, and the two sides held each other.
At the same time, two other groups of Roman cavalry rushed around the walls to the east.
Zhao Yun led the cavalry to resist for about two quarters of an hour, and then took the initiative to break away from the battle and ran towards the east gate.
It was at the gate of the city that he encountered two Roman cavalry that came around the wall, and after a fierce battle, they repelled each other. Then, Zhao Yun led the cavalry team out of Qinxi Fengcheng from the east gate.
Soon after, the cavalry of the Roman brigade caught up with Zhao Yun, who was in charge of the palace.
The two sides engaged in a fierce battle on the grassland at the edge of the woods. The cavalry of the Wei army rushed to kill without hesitation in the face of the cavalry of the Roman army, which was several times their size, and the battlefield was stained with blood, and the mountains and rivers were magnificent. In the end, the Roman cavalry, which was several times his own, was defeated, but when Zhao Yun led the light cavalry of the Fifth Army to retreat to the Aoki Bridge, there were less than 2,000 cavalry left of the original 10,000 soldiers, which shows the tragedy of the battle just now.
Zhao Yun, who was covered in blood, saw Zhang Ren on the Aoki Bridge and hurriedly asked, "Have all the armies withdrawn?" ”
Aoki Bridge is a wooden bridge over the small river on the east side of Fengcheng in Qinxi.
Zhang Ren couldn't hide his excitement and replied: "It's all withdrawn!" ”
At this moment, I saw a cloud of smoke and dust in the direction of Qinxi Fengcheng.
Zhao Yun frowned, and said categorically: "You guys go quickly!" I'll break it off!! ”
"General! Let me break off, you and your brothers go quickly!! Zhang Ren said excitedly.
Zhao Yun shouted: "This is an order!" Execute it now!! ”
Zhang Ren was silent for a moment and led the army to the east.
Zhao Yun glanced at the blood-stained cavalry soldiers beside him, and said in a deep voice: "You guys go too!" ”
Two thousand cavalrymen jumped off their horses, knelt down, and said in unison: "We are willing to live and die with the general!" ”
"Let's go!!"
Zhao Yun shouted angrily, but the two thousand cavalry just didn't move, everyone looked extremely resolute, and an officer said: "Please forgive the general!" This time we are going to disobey the military order!! ”
Zhao Yun glanced at the two thousand cavalry, and laughed: "Okay! He is worthy of being a warrior of the Great Wei Empire!! ”
Hundreds of thousands of Roman troops hurriedly pressed towards the Aoki Bridge, and when they saw the 2,000 Wei cavalry arrayed in front of the Aoki Bridge, they immediately stopped advancing. All the Roman soldiers couldn't help but swallow their saliva when they saw the general of the Wei army who was covered in blood and standing proudly.
Then the great array cracked, and the Roman Emperor Caracalla came to the front of the army, escorted by the ironclad guards. Seeing the heroic figure, I couldn't help but tremble in my heart.
"Your Majesty, please give the order!" General Schneider pleaded.
Caracalla hesitated for a moment, then nodded slightly.
The war drums and horns of the Roman army sounded loudly, and 10,000 cavalry came out of the battle and roared straight towards the 2,000 Wei cavalry not far away.
The Iron Rider kicked up a cloud of smoke and dust, like a swept torrent, and the momentum was amazing.
The Wei army was as steady as a mountain, and did not show the slightest nervous expression in the face of the surging torrent of Roman cavalry, everyone did not seek survival, but death, only for the glory of the Wei army's battle flag.
Zhao Yun raised the bright silver spear in his hand, and the soldiers couldn't help but tighten the blades in their hands.
The bright silver spear in Zhao Yun's hand pointed forward sharply, and the two thousand cavalry shouted violently, broke out, and rushed towards the Roman cavalry five times his size.
The two sides slammed into each other, only to hear the screams that were earth-shattering, the barrier knife in his hand slashed at the enemy, and the blood rain flew in the air, reflecting the frenzied ground of the soldiers on both sides.
The white dragon horse carried Zhao Yun forward in the enemy thicket, and the bright silver spear in Zhao Yun's hand picked up the enemy soldiers one after another.
The battle lasted about two quarters of an hour, and the 10,000 Roman cavalry could not resist the Wei army's life-for-death onslaught, and retreated.
The defeated Roman army quickly retreated into the formation through the cracked hole in the great array.
Zhao Yun reined in his horse and ordered the soldiers who had already killed the red-eyed to retreat.
Most of the Wei cavalry withdrew, but there was still a small group of more than 100 cavalry that rushed towards the Roman army.
These more than 100 cavalry galloped to the front of the Roman army, and then encountered an extremely dense rain of arrows, and in the blink of an eye, more than 100 cavalry all fell in a pool of blood, and the war horses under their crotches died on the battlefield with them.
Zhao Yun frowned and led the remaining cavalry to retreat across the Aoki Bridge.
Seeing this, Schneider hurriedly looked at Emperor Caracalla on the side.
Caracalla hesitated for a moment, then said absolutely: "Order the Third Legion to kill it!" The 3rd Spartan Legion attacked at the same time! ”
"Yes!" Schneider Hong promised.
The trumpets and drums of the Roman army sounded again, and sixty or seventy thousand Roman soldiers surged towards this side.
Zhao Yun glanced at it, ordered the cavalry around him to stay in place, and rode his horse onto the Aoki Bridge.
The Aoki Bridge is not large, and can only be crossed by three riders.
The soldiers of the Third Roman Army and the Third Army of Sparta are on the side of the road bridge.
Immediately, the commander of the Roman Third Legion roared, and hundreds of horsemen immediately rushed onto the Aoki Bridge with a loud shout, and rushed straight towards Zhao Yun, who was standing alone in the center of the wooden bridge.
Zhao Yun let out a loud shout and rode his horse into the enemy thicket. The bright silver spear in his hand flew up and down like a horse, and I saw blood flying in the sky with the dancing animation of the bright silver spear, and the enemy soldiers planted one after another from the warhorse.
Zhao Yun's face was as cold as an iceberg, his tiger eyes were condensed and murderous, and he kept killing the enemy soldiers with the bright silver spear in his hand, allowing the enemy's blood to splash on his body, and his silver robe had been dyed crimson with blood, which was shocking.
The battle lasted for a quarter of an hour, and a third of the hundreds of Roman cavalry fell under Zhao Yunfeng's spear.
The remaining Roman cavalry could not help but be frightened and retreated from the bridge.
I don't want Zhao Yun to rush into the Roman army, rushing left and right, and killing the Roman army on a single horse, unstoppable! (To be continued.) )
