"The war of nations is coming to an end, and all lords can return to their respective territories with their populations."

Chu Tian received a notification from the system that he could bring the inhabitants of the eleven cities back to the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Of the 10,000 main forces brought by Chutian, only 6,000 remained, and a number of high-level troops were recruited in the battlefield of the national war, including the women's army, infantry battalion, fine willow battalion, archers and cavalry, which basically made up for the losses.

At the same time, Chutian also has about 30,000 servant troops, including about 12,000 servant troops of special classes, and 18,000 low-level soldiers.

"Except for the special troops, the rest of the low-level troops are temporarily recruited soldiers, and when they return to the Eastern Han Dynasty, it is difficult to maintain such a large number of troops, so they will still be turned into civilians and resettled."

Chutian decided to settle these populations in various counties in Xuzhou.

"I didn't expect to be able to start a war with the Roman legions in the end."

Chu Tian's only regret was about this.

There was a price to be paid for the war, and both sides did not fight in order to avoid unnecessary losses. If there is a big fight, there may be generals on both sides who will be killed, or more than half of the high-ranking troops will be killed.

These big lords all pay attention to stability, and the European lords need three people to join forces in order to deal with Zhang Dao. On the premise that the strength of both sides is about the same, both sides have maintained restraint.

"There will be a chance to fight the Roman legions in the future, and they will be a formidable enemy."

Old Qin also regretted not being able to fight the Roman legions.

"There is a teleportation array, which can be carried out on expeditions, and it is indeed possible to fight Rome in the future, provided that they can reconquer Europe. Europe would not necessarily want to see the rise of the Roman Empire. After all, this is not the time of Rome. ”

"We in the Eastern Han Dynasty must also be unified as soon as possible. Don't come to a situation where the three kingdoms are in full swing. Once the three kingdoms have been in power for decades, the European side may come to fight. ”

"Who knows what will happen in the future."

Chu Tian talked to Lao Qin. Both the East and the West are trying to speed up the pace of unification. Europe did not have a tradition of great unification, but in the face of the threat from the East, Europe would most likely devote itself to the cause of great unification. After all, the larger the territory and the larger the population, the safer your civilization will be.

"Can you control Lu Bu? Joining forces with Dong Zhuo, you don't want to take over Dong Zhuo's power after Dong Zhuo's death, right? ”

It was rare for Chu Tian to meet with Lao Qin.

Back in the Overworld, the two sides will be potential rivals.

If Lao Qin successfully takes over Dong Zhuo's army, he will undoubtedly become a strong enemy, and Guanzhong is no less than Xuzhou.

"When I return to Guanzhong, I will try to get Dong Zhuo to make me the captain of Sili."

Chu Tian, Zhao Long, and Hu Ma were secretly shocked in their hearts. Si Lixiao Wei is a secret supervisor who oversees the Jingshi and the surrounding places in the capital, similar to the assassin history, has more power, and is in charge of the seven counties of the Jingshi of the Sili Division.

If Dong Zhuo really moved Lao Qin to the commander of the school, then the Eastern Han Dynasty would officially enter the stage of separating the heroes, and the state pastor, the Taishou, the assassin history, and the captain of the Sili would coexist.

Lao Qin did not hide his ambition at all. Even Chu Tian, who was far away in Xuzhou, saw the thoughts of the old Qin.

"Prepare to go back to the Eastern Han Dynasty."

Lao Qin, Zhao Long, and Hu Ma returned to their respective camps.

"I don't know what's going on in Xuzhou."

Chutian couldn't know the situation in Xuzhou, and he was somewhat worried about Xuzhou. If the summer cold can't suppress the families in Xuzhou, it will leave some hidden dangers.

Hua Mulan stood beside Chu Tian, and it was rare to see Chu Tian showing a worried expression. Hua Mulan was a little envious of the cool summer, she didn't have such a chance, because Chu Tian would take her with him every time he fought.

"That's what the lord called the mighty Roman legions. Even the lords were wary of the Roman legions. It was heard that their phalanx of heavy infantry was invincible. ”

Xue Rengui and Zhao Yun led a team of high-ranking cavalry to patrol outside, and when they saw the Roman eagle banner, they were eager to try.

"We can go and attack their scouts or grain trucks."

"Good!"

Although Chutian strictly ordered the generals not to break out into a battle with the Roman legions in order to prevent them from falling into a meaningless flesh-grinding war with the Roman legions, the skirmishes between the two sides continued.

Before the end of the national war, Xue Rengui and Zhao Yun wanted to join forces to do a big thing, and they would meet Rome, which their lord regarded as a great enemy.

They led a thousand white horse cavalry to quickly intersperse and penetrate deep into the rear of the Roman legions.

The white horse cavalry was fast and could calmly retreat even if it was surrounded in the rear of the enemy.

The Roman legions were counting the populations of the cities, planning to move the populations of seven cities back to Rome. Compared with the population of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the current Roman Republic is not an empire, the population is insufficient, equivalent to a state in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and the population of nearly one million in seven cities is a huge wealth for the Roman Republic.

In addition to ranking rewards, the population and gold and silver of the National War battlefield are also part of the loot.

"Population is a more important reward for us in Rome than points. If there was a sufficient population, the Roman Republic could annex other surrounding civilizations and become a large empire. However, none of them qualified to become Roman citizens, only slaves. ”

The Roman lord stood on the city wall and looked at the Eastern Han camp opposite.

A state in the Eastern Han Empire was the size of a European civilization, and he had to try to become the consul of Rome in order to begin Rome's quest for hegemony in the Mediterranean.

"There is a white horse cavalry that left the opponent's camp and broke through our defenses, numbering about a thousand!"

The Roman lord received a report from a Roman general, and his expression was surprised, he did not expect that the national war was about to end, and the cavalry of the Eastern Han Dynasty dared to carry out risky actions.

Before the annexation of nomadic civilizations, Roman legions lacked qualified cavalry, with heavy infantry as the main force. Faced with the actions of the Eastern Han cavalry, he could only send a few light cavalry of the Roman legions.

On the plains, a Roman army assembled in the lord's city after carrying out a census of the population and booty.

This Roman force consisted of only three brigades of about 1,500 men, of which 100 were cavalry. In addition to the Roman troops, there were more than 1,000 men and the booty of the escort.

The Roman general Scipio the Younger wore a Romanesque helmet and rode a war horse to escort the booty.

The Roman legions did not engage a decent enemy in this national war, and also eliminated a lord of Guiyang County of the Eastern Han Empire.

* Scipio the Younger, Roman commander. The adopted son of Scipio the Great, he destroyed Carthage, conquered Spain, and served as consul of Rome.

"Why are the lords afraid of the Eastern Han Dynasty? As long as the opponent is lured out of the field battle, our Roman legions can completely defeat and destroy the Eastern Han legions. ”

Scipio the Younger, and Scipio the Great, two famous Roman commanders in the Roman legions, were confident in their ability to defeat the Eastern Han legions. But their lord refused their request to go to war because Joan of Arc of France was taken prisoner and he was unwilling to take the risk. The battle with the Eastern Han army has a probability of causing the capture of two generals, Scipio and Scipio.

"General, cavalry! There's a cavalry approaching fast! ”

The light cavalry, which was conducting reconnaissance at the front, suddenly gave a warning.

"Array!"

Scipio the Younger immediately lined up his troops, and the three Roman brigades quickly formed formation.

A thousand white cavalry has roared, following the Roman scout cavalry!

Two of the experienced Roman brigades lined up at the first time, while the third Roman brigade was a little panicked in the face of the light cavalry from the east because of the addition of new recruits.

Xue Rengui and Zhao Yun teamed up to go deep into the enemy territory and quickly attack the third Roman brigade!

A round of arrows rained down, dozens of Roman soldiers were killed by arrows, both the White Horse Yicong and the Tang Dynasty Archers, they were extremely good at riding and shooting.

The Roman soldiers had rarely fought with the Eastern cavalry at present, and they suffered a great loss.

Xue Rengui held the Fang Tian Painting Halberd, and Zhao Yun held the Red Tassel Spear, breaking into the chaotic Roman Third Brigade, invincible!

When the Roman soldier saw the horse's hooves raised high, Xue Rengui's Fang Tian Painting Halberd smashed down on his head, smashing the helmet and head of this Roman soldier!

The recruits of the 3rd Roman Brigade suffered heavy casualties when they were charged by the White Horse Cavalry, and when the first round of the White Horse Cavalry was over, less than 200 of the 500 men of the 3rd Brigade remained.

"The cavalry of the East is so valiant!"

Scipio the Younger was shocked when he saw a brigade of infantry killed and wounded 300 men.

Although the third brigade was a recruit recruited on the battlefield of the National War, with his commander bonus, he was caught off guard by Xue Rengui and Zhao Yun.

After Xue Rengui and Zhao Yun launched their first charge, they gathered the white horse cavalry and only killed a few horsemen.

They tried to attack the remaining Roman troops, which were less than 1,200 men.

"That's all the Roman legions!"

"Let's join forces to destroy this Roman army and make a success!"

"Good!"

Xue Rengui and Zhao Yun were confident because of the destruction of a Roman brigade.

A thousand white horse cavalry, led by Xue Rengui and Zhao Yun, charged the other two Roman brigades.

If the Roman brigade loosened its formation, they would have wiped out the Roman legion.

"Follow orders!"

The famous Roman general Scipio the Younger retracted his contempt for the Eastern Han army, and in the face of the onslaught of the white-horse cavalry, if they were not dealt with carefully, they could be completely annihilated.

Two Roman brigades were engrossed, with soldiers in the front row holding javelin shields and Roman archers in the rear.

Xue Rengui and Zhao Yun led the light cavalry, and after reaching a distance of forty or fifty meters, the light cavalry turned around and shot arrows on horseback.

The Roman army folded in formation, with the first row of infantry crouching with their shields on the ground, the second row of infantry placing their shields on top of the front rows, and the third row and after them raising their shields above their heads, stacking them on top of each other like tiles!

The rain of arrows fell, and many of them were blocked by shields, and the losses of the Roman legions were less than Xue Rengui and Zhao Yun imagined.

"Shoot the arrows!"

Roman foot archers threw a rain of arrows, inflicting casualties on the White Horse cavalry.

Xue Rengui and Zhao Yun only used mounted archery to probe the test, and they were not impulsive enough to directly attack the Roman legions dominated by light cavalry.

The advantage of the light cavalry is that it can constantly interfere with the infantry phalanx, and once the infantry phalanx is disorganized, the light cavalry can go on a killing spree.

For infantry, a good commander is even more important. In contrast, cavalry under the leadership of a fierce general can also work miracles.

Xue Rengui and Zhao Yun saw that the Roman legions were in a neat formation, and immediately led the cavalry to bypass.

Witnessing the temptation of Xue Rengui and Zhao Yun, Scipio Jr. did not attack the Roman legions head-on, and said to himself: "They didn't fall for it. ”

He was eager to fight with Xue Rengui and Zhao Yun's Eastern cavalry in hand-to-hand combat, and with the strength of Roman warriors, as long as they fought hand-to-hand, most of them could strangle the white horse cavalry.

His brigade of two Roman veterans was not comparable to the crushed Third Brigade.

Once Xue Rengui and Zhao Yun's cavalry approached, the Roman legions would also use javelins to inflict hundreds of casualties on the white horse cavalry.

"How to destroy this Roman army?"

"They lacked cavalry and harassed with mounted archery."

Xue Rengui and Zhao Yun faced the Roman brigade and the baggage team, and after a brief discussion, decided to use mounted archery against the Roman army.

The White Horse cavalry surrounded the Roman army, firing arrows at high speed, and sharp arrows pierced the shields of the Roman heavy infantry!

Xue Rengui's Tang Dynasty archers generally used armor-piercing heavy arrows with a price of more than 100 yuan, and the Romans' shields may not be able to block them all, and many arrows penetrated the shields and nailed the arms of the Roman heavy infantry to the shields!

Roman warriors were constantly killed, and one Roman warrior after another fell.

The arrows shot by Xue Rengui were even sharper, not only piercing the shield, but also the chain mail and scale armor of the Roman soldiers!

After the Roman soldiers in the front row were killed, the Roman soldiers in the rear immediately filled the vacancy.

Faced with the light cavalry from the east and the composite bow from the east, the Roman heavy infantry corps, which did not pay attention to cavalry construction, was in trouble.

Xue Rengui and Zhao Yun's light cavalry did not engage in close combat, making it impossible for the Roman heavy infantry, which was strong in close combat, to attack.

"Cavalry is important, we must have a strong cavalry that belongs to Rome, or a cavalry from a reliable ally."

Scipio the Younger was helpless in the face of the cavalry attack of the white-horse cavalry.

If the Roman army had attacked, it would have fallen into the trap of the Eastern cavalry, and it would have been difficult for the Roman legions, which were mainly heavy infantry, to catch up with the light cavalry from the East.

He was waiting for the arrows of the Eastern Hussars to run out.

The Roman legions were passive, and quite a few grumpy Roman heavy infantry gnashed their teeth at the eastern cavalry. Without the order of the commander, they did not dare to come forward and chase after them.

Xue Rengui and Zhao Yun taught the arrogant Roman heavy infantry a good lesson, but the Roman legions did not completely collapse.

"Their commanders are disciplined, and unless we have a heavy cavalry in our hands, it will be difficult for them to be wiped out."

Xue Rengui harassed several times, and saw that the Roman legions were immovable, and his cavalry did not bring many arrows, and he might not be able to destroy the Roman heavy infantry of more than 1,000 people.

On the horizon, the battle banner of the black cross appeared, and the Teutonic knight in full plate armor arrived with a detachment of light cavalry.

They received a request from the Roman lord to come to the aid of Scipio the Younger. If Scipio the Younger were captured alive, it would be a terrible loss for the Roman lords.

"Retreat!"

Xue Rengui and Zhao Yun feared that they would be surrounded by the Teutonic Knights after running out of arrows, so they abandoned the Roman legions and quickly evacuated.

The Roman legions only pursued at this time, but Xue Rengui and Zhao Yun had already left.
