The battle went very smoothly.

The large army led by General Barras himself, according to the position marked on the ground, waved his army to cover the past, and did not deploy any battle formation at all, and naturally did not give the other party any opportunity to take advantage of it!

Hundreds of hoplites, rushing up, are directly a slash! Even, those sentry posts were directly cut down or shot without even having a chance to report the news. The army of General Barras was really swept by like a whirlwind and clouds, and in less than half an hour, one of the Goths' cavalry training centers had been turned into ruins.

For the first cavalry training camp of the Goths, the reason why the brigade led by Barras was able to capture it so easily was mainly because the other party did not expect that a large army suddenly fell from the sky and suddenly appeared in front of them, so that they did not have any psychological preparation at all. For before that, they had seen an order to stand by and strengthen their camouflage, without ordering them to be ready for battle.

However, just after contributing to the cavalry training camp of the first Gothic tribe, General Barras did not expect that a fast horse was galloping in the direction of the other two cavalry training camps like an arrow from a string. The fast horse, which was also a scout, according to their traditional habits, set up a special reconnaissance center not far from the cavalry training camp. In normal times, this scout reconnaissance center is specially responsible for conducting reconnaissance of the situation within a few tens of kilometers around the training camp. In addition, this scout production center also has a special mission, that is, when the cavalry training camp center is hit by destruction, it must transmit information to the other two cavalry training camps as soon as possible.

So, in this situation, when General Barras led a large group of men and horses to the vicinity of the second cavalry training camp according to the location indicated on the map, he found that the other party had already prepared. A combat force with nearly the nearest heavy cavalry, in front of a hill, formed a defensive line and awaited the arrival of Baras's combat troops.

Seeing this, General Barras couldn't help but frown. He ordered the troops to stop their advance for the time being, and it seemed that the other side was already cooking. In this case, the way of fighting like the one just now is definitely no longer good. Although, in terms of combat strength, he has an absolute advantage. It is completely possible to cover up the past, and kill the opponent's one, the combat unit in front of him, without leaving a piece of armor. However, like Liu Qingshan, General Barras was a commander who took his own casualties very seriously. As long as he has the opportunity, he will not order his troops to fight to the death, and minimize casualties, which is the way he has always insisted on fighting.

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

At this time, General Barras glanced at the cart of opposing troops rushing in front of him, and there were about all kinds of heavy cavalry. And behind those heavy cavalry, it seems that there are several siege catapults. Seeing this, General Barras couldn't help but smile coldly. He had already deduced that the other side had basically pulled out all of their combat troops. Their combat strategy is to keep the enemy out of the country. However, since then, the cavalry training center behind them, which is bound to lead zhì, has become an empty city. In this way, it also provides yourself with an opportunity.

Thinking of this, General Barras had an idea and divided his combat unit into two. Part of it, responsible for the frontal offense. The other part, composed entirely of heavily armed melee cavalry, from the left side, quickly raised the whip and used the fastest speed to outflank the back of the opponent's cavalry training camp. Originally, the adoption of this roundabout and outflanking combat method was one of Liu Qingshan's best combat strategies, and over time, following Liu Qingshan's southern expedition to the north for a long time, General Ballas had long been familiar with this kind of strategy and tactics, and he had used it many times, and achieved very ideal combat results.

However, General Barras knew very well that the most important point of adopting this strategy and tactics was that the combat unit responsible for outflanking must act in concealment and must not let the other side know its combat intentions. Otherwise, once the action is exposed and the other side is prepared, then this mode of combat will lose its meaning.

And the only way to do this is to make sure that your frontal attacking troops attract all the attention of the other side, so that they can provide subsequent cover for the troops that are fighting in a roundabout way.

Now, a qiē is ready to stop. I saw that General Barras gave an order, and the combat troops in charge of the frontal attack immediately began to move. At the front, a phalanx of fifty pikemen, behind them were fifty hoplites, and behind the fifty archers were seven siege catapults. These three combat units together formed the Chinese army of Liu Qingshan's frontal attack force.

On the left and right sides of the Chinese army, there were fifty hoplites, and these fifty hoplites were mainly responsible for covering and preventing the opposing cavalry combat units from attacking their own Chinese troops from both sides. In addition, it is also a mobile combat unit that carries out mobile combat missions according to the situation on the battlefield.

At the same time, the hoplite combat unit responsible for the roundabout attack quietly moved behind the Chinese army, and then, when the frontal combat unit launched an attack, they were unaware of the couch, from the left direction, along an arc, trying to avoid the surveillance of the opponent's guard post, until they detoured behind the opponent's cavalry training camp Chinese army, and then launched a surprise attack.

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

At this time, with the order of General Barras, the frontal assault had begun. I saw the pikemen team rushing to the front, holding a long spear in one hand and a contradiction in the other hand, mainly not to resist the opponent's bow and arrows. I saw that the pikemen team that rushed to the front was sonorous and powerful, with a clear rhythm, murderous and imposing. It feels like a well-trained force, and where it passes, there is hardly any force that can stop their advance. It's like a huge chariot, capable of crushing all the forces that stand in its way.

In this way, as the distance between the two forces became closer and closer, it naturally became larger, and a long-range attack between the two sides inevitably began. In this case, in general, ranged attacks are in the form of bows and arrows. The siege carapult, although very powerful, is only useful when attacking the opponent's buildings in order to avoid exposing the target prematurely.

As a result, I saw a dense stream of arrows coming and going in mid-air, with a whistling sound, shooting towards the front-line combat troops on both sides. At this time, Liu Qingshan's dozens of pikemen team members who rushed to the front almost at the same time, according to the heavy wooden shield in their hands, completely covered their most critical body parts. And so, the positions that fell from the sky, from the front and above, roared, and shot at the wooden shield they had raised, and although there were occasional arrows that hit their retreat, it was not a vital position, and these brave soldiers, after being shot in the leg, immediately gritted their teeth and pulled it out, and then threw it to the side, and continued to carry the wooden shield forward.

In this way, as Liu Qingshan's frontal attack combat troops approached the other side step by step, at this time, the Gothic tribe, the mobile combat force, had clearly realized that they had clearly the upper hand in long-range attacks. First of all, the opposing team's pikemen who rushed ahead, with the wooden shield in their hands, basically shot at their long-range bows and arrows, which completely served as a carving. However, since the opponent's archers (mainly mounted archers) were far outnumbered by them, in this case, they suffered far more casualties in the course of the first round of long-range attacks.

Therefore, the commander of the opposing side immediately ordered, changed the formation, ordered their heavy cavalry units, and immediately attacked. Because, for their Gothic tribes, the hoplite cavalry troops are their real elite troops, their specialty, is to rush up frantically, slash and kill at close range, these Gothic tribes of all kinds of cavalry troops, strong style, strong impact, great lethality, has always been, in the entire Sera Temple area, very famous, can be said to be powerful.

Therefore, in this case, since they can't take advantage of each other's long-range attacks, they can only change their attack methods, use their housekeeping skills, and throw out the last trump card, which is their combat elite heavy melee cavalry. What's more, now, the distance between the two sides is very close, and in this case, it is more suitable for the charge of the heavy cavalry. Yes, heavy cavalry, on the one hand, they are well armoured, heavily armored, and have a very strong defense. On the other hand, it is also their ability to rush and kill.

Generally speaking, when the speed of this Chinese cavalry combat unit is really raised, then it has almost become an invincible weapon of attack, and there are very few combat forces that can stop them, and this, in general, is also the terrible thing about this kind of heavy cavalry. Therefore, under normal circumstances, only real hoplites can deal with the opposing hoplites. In particular, in the case that the distance between the two sides was not very far, the archers already looked somewhat powerless in the face of the onslaught of the opposing hoplites. Because they are characterized by long-range attacks, they destroy the opponent before they can attack. However, if you wait until the opponent's hoplites really rush over, it will be too late.

"Heavy cavalry, up!" At this time, General Barras faced the group of hoplites on the enemy's side who were shouting and rushing forward, and knew very well in his heart that at this time, only his own hoplites could deal with the opposing hoplites. So, for a time, nearly 100 well-equipped heavy cavalrymen, wielding the weapons in their hands, rushed straight forward from the left and right sides of the Chinese army, like two sharp swords.

"Kill~~~Kill~~~~~" The sound of shouting and killing was deafening and earth-shattering. Soon, the two forces collided like this. The sound of weapons colliding is endless, the sound of shouting and killing is earth-shattering, from time to time, several screams suddenly come, in the shadow of the sword and sword, a cavalry melee that is either you dead or my life is kicking off.

On the frontal battlefield, when the heavy cavalry of the two armies was inseparable, behind General Barras's central army, the roundabout sneak attack force composed entirely of heavy cavalry had already begun to move. In order to be able to avoid the enemy's eyeliner and vigilance force, this vigilance force deliberately circled a large semicircle, facing behind the opponent and outflanking the past. In this way, unless the opponent's scout reconnaissance force happens to reconnoiter here, it will be difficult to find this mysterious roundabout combat force at all.

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

At this time, because the battle was quite fierce on the battlefield below, in this case, almost all the people on the other side would have thought that there was another heavy cavalry unit at this time, which was outflanking behind them! Yes, in the current situation, on the battlefield below, it can be said that the fierce battle is in full swing, although for the Gothic troops, this is still a rather unequal battle, however, in the current situation, there is already another better way to go, only to fight to the death, go all out, so that even if the whole army is annihilated, at least a few lives can be earned.

The military leader of the Gothic tribe was now in military uniform, riding a tall horse, cloaked in a stubborn and stubborn face, standing behind his troops, looking at the scene of the battle in front of him, and did not say a word. His heart was extremely angry, an inexplicable helplessness, helplessness, and hopelessness sprouted in his heart, making him almost breathless.

At the beginning, he had built a plan for their Gothic tribal commanders to merge these three cavalry training camps into a general cavalry training base, so that it would be beneficial to concentrate all their forces and form a joint force. When facing the enemy, you will not be divided and surrounded by the opponent, and then eat them one by one. At the same time, after the merger, the unified command will be carried out, which is conducive to the better application of tactics.

However, his suggestion was not adopted. At the same time, it was precisely because he proposed such a construction that the leaders of the other two training camps said that they "wanted to ride on their heads and", so their relationship was greatly affected.

And this time, his training camp was attacked by enemy troops, but neither of them came to report for himself! It's fucking too much, it's too much! In fact, the reason for this, on the one hand, the training camp that was attacked first, because Barras's raid tactics worked, did not give the other side any respite at all, and ended the battle in a blitzkrieg manner.

And the other training camp, at this time, should not know what happened, at this time, maybe they are still carnival in the barracks! In fact, at this time, not far from the training camp that was being attacked, in the scout reconnaissance center, a fast horse was galloping frantically in the direction of the third training center......

At this time, the roundabout combat force was already close to the target. They traveled very fast, because they were equipped with horses of the first class, which were of the first class, and they were fast and persistent.

At this time, not far in front of them, the cavalry training center on the Gothic side had appeared in front of them. It seems that the defense there is not very good, and there are not many combat forces at all. It can be seen that they did not have many defensive combat units in the first place, and basically all of them have been transferred to the front line. In this way, their rear naturally seems very empty.

"General Barras is truly wise! That's too accurate! It's obviously an empty city! Kill me, brethren! In this way, at the sound of an order, dozens of heavy cavalry started again, rushing towards the opponent's training camp not far ahead.

"Chief, there is a war horse galloping towards the northwest! It seems that it has just set off! At this time, a scout came to report.

"Huh? A war horse, galloping towards the northwest? At this time, the little leader of the roundabout force couldn't help but be stunned after receiving the report of the scout. Immediately, Quan had already taken out a map, spread it on the ground, and looked at it seriously. This map is a copy of the map that General Ark bought from a merchant for a large sum of money not long ago, and it clearly marks the exact location of the three cavalry training camps of the Gothic tribe.

"Here~~~Here~~~" The little boss earnestly pointed and drew on the map. Suddenly, he shouted, "Damn, that guy is just going to report to the last training center in the northwest!" Someone, the first heavy archer, immediately chase after me, be sure to shoot him! If he is allowed to report the letter, it will cause us a lot of trouble to attack the next cavalry training center! ”
