Night falls on this field, forming a spectacular scenery of starry plains and moonlit rivers. The raiding force of the Roman army searched for the traces left by the rebel army all the way, and quietly followed behind and marched quickly.

At this time, the soldiers in this army were still somewhat afraid, and the psychological shadow caused by the rebel army was already very deep. They are very reluctant to go head-to-head with this cunning and difficult enemy. Therefore, even though the rebels had stopped to recuperate, they still chose to wait patiently.

It wasn't until they saw that the ignition in the rebel camp in front of them was almost completely extinguished, that they began to gather their troops, prepare the props for ignition, and charge with all their might.

The area in this area is basically plain, and there is not much mountainous and wooded area. Therefore, for cavalry operations, it is simply like a fish in water.

At this time, although the generals in the cavalry unit also wondered why there were not many sentry agents around the rebel army, this doubt could not stop him from acting on orders, after all, in this situation, they no longer had much room for maneuver.

If this night attack does not achieve much success, then sooner or later their army will have to return again.

In the otherwise calm air of the wild, the sound of horses' hooves was heard again. In just a few breaths, the sound of the horse's hooves changed from sparse to continuous, and the rumbling war drums beat over the wilderness land.

Once they sprint with all their might, the deterrent effect caused by these more than 3,500 cavalry is truly earth-shattering. All the Roman cavalry in the cavalry formation were already surging with blood and killing intent at this time. Throwing aside most of his negative thoughts, he rushed to the dimly lit camp with all his might.

As they sprinted with all their might, the soldiers of the defenders around the rebels seemed to be frightened, hurriedly throwing away their weapons and fleeing in both directions.

In this way, their army is literally flat on the ground, and there is no obstacle in front of them. This sense of smoothness in the sprint made the front row troops feel a rare pleasure.

But when this kind of pleasure lasted for a long time, their battlefield experience made them wonder. After storming into the camp, they did not encounter any decent obstacles at all.

And there was not even a hint of commotion in the camp. According to common sense, under this kind of shouting and killing, it is impossible for the soldiers in the camp tent to sleep soundly, and they will inevitably get up in a panic and scurry around in the camp tent.

However, this did not happen at all, when they rushed all the way to the camp of the Chinese army. However, he found some faint lights in the camp tent, which surprised the generals in the front row.

Contrary to the expectations of several generals of the rebel army, the purpose of Roma's cavalry was not to burn food at all, but to carry out decapitation operations.

Therefore, the army of Roman cavalry did not have any nostalgia, and rushed all the way to the location of the camp of the Chinese army from all directions. Ran over the largest tent with all his might.

However, as they scattered the entire camp with a powerful momentum, they found that there did not seem to be any human figure inside. After the horse brought down the camp rope, the bottles and cans were also broken, and they were scattered all over the ground.

The smell of alcohol began to spread deep on the ground, and the flames of several oil lamps fell on top of a sheet of alcohol, quickly igniting a raging flame.

When the Roman soldiers did not expect it at all, they were all set on fire.

Seeing that the knights in front were all surrounded by a sea of fire, the cavalry behind was so frightened that they hurriedly reined in their horses and stopped. But where is the huge momentum that can be reversed by manpower. As a result, many knights in the back rushed into this fire net one after another, becoming flame knights who kept wailing and screaming.

Looking at the hellish scene in front of them, the Roman knights in the rear gradually understood. It seems that this is all a conspiracy of the rebels.

This large battalion may be essentially an empty battalion, and its own troops have once again been deceived by the enemy.

Although it is not known how the enemy managed to suddenly leave the camp under their noses, it is no longer important, and what is before them is the cruel truth and the rising flames.

Unharmed, the cavalry quickly turned their horses around and fled towards the rest of the camp. But at this time, outside the tent, there were already fires. Rockets, torches, and hateful Molotov cocktails poured into the abominable empty camp.

The flames that rose from time to time always blocked their way of retreat at critical moments. The camp of the rebels was not very large, so in this situation of arson, the camp was almost full of flames, and the cavalry units were surrounded by regiments.

Horses, on the other hand, have a natural fear of fire, so no matter how much the knights whip and urge them, they have not been able to muster the courage to break through the flames.

So they had to do their best to get the horses to turn around and rush in the direction they had entered the camp. However, in this way, the front and rear troops have formed a hedging posture, and the rear troops will not be able to adjust at all in a short period of time.

The cavalry troops in the rear were in a chaotic formation due to the severe deceleration of the cavalry in front, and a large number of knights squeezed together, and formed a good group of people on their backs.

When all of them had fully realized that this was a hoax, the horns of the rebels sounded around the camp.

These high-pitched and loud trumpets once again struck the already fragile nerves of the Roman army, and together with the raging flames, gradually disintegrated any of their fighting spirits.

However, what made them feel a little fluke was that the 3,000 light infantry behind them had also come to the back of their cavalry troops at this time. The infantry, who was still outside the camp, was simply their last savior.

Seeing the burning camp ahead, the infantry leader clearly realized that his cavalry troops must have been in trouble, and they could no longer rush into the large camp that was constantly on fire.

For now, it is necessary to hold the rear of the cavalry units steadily. This extremely chaotic and fragile time can't withstand any impact.

However, in order to greatly improve the efficiency of their march, where would their lightly armed troops carry the spears and heavy shields of the defensive cavalry with them according to the standard configuration of the Roman army?

I was really afraid of something, just when 3,000 light infantry were waiting for them, guarding behind the cavalry ranks. In the distance, some dark shadows could be seen on the horizon.

These black shadows continued to grow in number, and in the end, they galloped at high speed across the field, just like the Roman cavalry before them.

The soldiers in the front row were surprised to find that the size of the rebel cavalry far exceeded the number of the raids on their camp during the day. Roughly speaking, this number must be more than 1,000 rides.

At this time, the Roma light infantry completely exploded.

The total number of cavalry troops they saw during the day should have been only about 500. Unexpectedly, in just one day, they took out more than twice as many cavalry and rushed towards them. Coupled with the fact that they are now lightly armed and commuted, it is difficult to pose any substantial threat to the cavalry.

Look at the cavalrymen who are constantly closing the distance with them and speeding up. The 3,000 light infantry of the Roman army were no longer able to hold the formation calmly.

But where can they flee in this wilderness? Isn't it a lamb slaughtered at will by the more than 1,000 cavalry of the other party? For now, they can only defend to the death, and wait until the cavalry in the camp has eased up a little before they can fight with them.

But the scenes in front of them shattered their previous expectations almost instantly. The one in front of him was actually a terrifying heavy cavalry.

At least the horses and knights in the first few rows were well armed, especially the horses were almost covered with wallets, which seemed to have a faint metallic glow. This is a heavy cavalry in compound armor. How could those poor swords in their hands be of any use?

But in such a situation, how else can the Roma soldiers choose? Truth be told, they didn't face such a terrifying heavy cavalry unit either.

After all, due to the common long spear and short sword shield battle formations in this era, the heavy cavalry could not play a very good role, so basically no army would spend so much effort to create a heavy cavalry unit. Moreover, before the stirrups were put into use, it was hilarious to use cavalry to charge the infantry battle formation head-on.

But now it was good that their light infantry, which was lightly armed, had encountered a terrifying heavy cavalry that they had never encountered before. This kind of innate restraint of the troops made it really difficult for them to raise any combat confidence, so they could only rely on a little residual will and battlefield experience to arrange the formation as tightly as possible. With the few small shields and short-handled spears in front of him.

But this weapon is not worth mentioning at all for the heavy cavalry that has already picked up speed. Almost instantly, the front row of the rebel cavalry plunged into the phalanx of Roma's light troops.

Especially Kress himself, who rushed ahead, was even more like no one. He barely needed to move his hands, relying only on the weight of the men and horses themselves to go on a rampage, like a sharp blade piercing deep into the infantry.

And the horse lance he holds in his hand can pick up the enemy's blocking weapons when he swings left and right, and at the same time bring blood flowers in the night sky.

The knights in the back are not far behind, and the training over the past few days has gradually matured them for the movements of fighting on horseback. And because the saddle and footpegs are used as fixed supports, they can control their center of gravity well on the horse, while freeing up their hands to harvest the lives of their enemies.

The little fortifications that the Roman light infantry phalanx had managed to form in the front row were smashed to pieces by the front row of the heavy cavalry in an instant.

Subsequently, both the heavy cavalry and light cavalry of the rebel army could rush to the infantry without hindrance, taking advantage of the huge inertia and condescending superiority, and constantly galloping in the light infantry formation.

Although the number of 3,000 light infantry was also a lot, it immediately showed a rout under the crushing of nearly 2,000 cavalry of the rebel army.

Without the protection of long weapons, they were largely unable to inflict any damage on the rebel knights on horseback. Most of the horses are wrapped in some armor, and it is definitely not easy to break through this layer of defense. Often, before they have done any effective damage, they are taken down at will by the enemy's long soldiers.

The light cavalry units in the rear did not even have to participate in the charge head-on, and the mere harvesting and pursuit of the scattered Roma soldiers allowed them to reap the rewards.

Poor Roman light infantry, running or resisting, could only watch themselves being swallowed alive. Seeing that the number of companions around him was getting smaller and smaller, more than half of the 3,000-strong troops were killed and wounded in a short time. This great frustration made the generals who led the phalanx of progressive soldiers simply have the mind to cut themselves.

But fortunately, the cavalry units they were huddled together in the large camp had gradually become a little more orderly at this time. Although the cavalry that rushed into the camp in front were generally affected by the fire and basically lost their combat effectiveness. However, although the cavalry that followed behind was embarrassed in the chaos and there were no lack of injuries to men and horses, they still retained a certain combat effectiveness.

He finally pulled out of position, but when he was about to charge, he found that the light infantry guarding behind him was being slaughtered horribly.
