The sound of heavy horses' hooves shook the ground, and a thousand scout cavalry rushed towards the Romans in the distance like a torrent.

Looking at this cavalry force that was moving away at a rapid pace, Qi Lin's heart was full of confidence.

No matter how weak the combat effectiveness of this cavalry is, the fact that the cavalry is the nemesis of the infantry after all should not change, whether ancient or modern, Chinese and foreign, before the machine gun was developed.

While the phalanx of infantry armed with long perverted spears would have caused a great deal of distress to the cavalry, it was clear that the Roman soldiers on the opposite side were not in this category.

As we all know, the standard configuration of the ancient Roman legions was usually a giant shield, a javelin and a Roman double-edged sword, a spear and a horse, and the Romans said: What is that? Is it delicious?

It's not that there weren't pikemen in ancient Rome, although they themselves may not have used this weapon very much, and the most used long poles were only short spears and javelins, but there was a class of troops in this world called foreign mercenaries.

In this day and age, the Romans already had a number of foreign troops, such as cavalry, and pikemen who were specialized in fighting cavalry.

But apparently there was no such thing as a foreign force among the Romans here.

Although javelins and bows and arrows would also pose a threat to cavalry, in Qi Lin's mind, how could these thousand cavalrymen rush in front of each other and hack a few to death before they died.

Even in a trance, Qi Lin seemed to see the rout of the other party being killed, and the wolf bèi fled.

……

As the commander of this thousand-man legion, Manius was shocked when he saw the cavalry unit facing him again, because according to the information he had obtained, the rebel army attacking here should be no more than a hundred, and all of them were infantry.

Therefore, his mission this time was to bring his thousand-strong brigade, plus two hundred foreign mercenary archers, to carry out the task of suppressing bandits.

However, in his guess, it has been nearly a month since the town was attacked, and it is estimated that the rebel army has already fled to other places.

But now looking at the towering walls that stretched for several kilometers in the distance, almost directly replacing the distant horizon, the towers that stood there, and the group of cavalry troops of a thousand men in front of him, Manius instantly realized that the other party was not as simple as he thought.

Just because the other side has unknowingly established such a large power in the Roman territory without being noticed, it is very likely that this will be a great crisis for the Roman Empire.

But this feeling did not last long, and the corners of Mannius's mouth curled into a contemptuous smile as he looked at the cavalry unit that was getting closer and closer.

"The team is scattered, there is no formation to speak of, it is simply a rabble."

"Array! Meet the enemy! Show these rebels how powerful the Romans are! ”

On his horse, Manius drew his sword from his waist, pointed it at the cavalry that had regained quickly, and roared loudly.

"Hoo !!"

In the shouting, this group of Roman elite soldiers quickly gathered together, erected defensive shields, and in just a few seconds, these nearly 1,000 Roman soldiers formed a standard Roman heavy infantry phalanx.

"Archers prepare! Draw the bow! ”

"Put!"

"Buzz!"

"Poof!"

……

As the Romans rained down with arrows, Qi Lin finally saw what it means to turn a man on his back.

In fact, this wave of arrow rain did not get much results, only a few dozen centaurs were shot, but it was the fall of these dozens of centaurs that caused a series of chain reactions in a short instant.

After all, the reality is not like in the game, and the corpse of a unit after death does not cause damage to other soldiers.

Here, the war horse with the arrow instantly blocked the road of the cavalry behind them, and these galloping cavalrymen did not have time to turn their horses' heads or adjust their postures, and directly collided with the dead war horses in front of them, and the riders on horseback were suddenly swept away.

In just a few seconds, the originally imposing charge became a mess, and even many riders were trampled by the cavalry who came after them because they fell off their horses.

"it!" Qi Lin cursed, and then said in his head: "Turn on the temporary command function of the troops!" ”

"Understood, the RMB deduction has been successful, and the temporary command function of the troops has been turned on, with a duration of 10 minutes!" The emotionless electronic synthesized voice immediately remembered, Qi Lin hurriedly opened the map of the Age of Empires system, and connected the dots on the virtual map with his fingers.

In the next second, the reconnaissance cavalry troops, which were originally mixed together, began to adjust their direction and spread out in two directions.

At the same time, the second round of arrows of the Romans fell again, and this time, again took the lives of more than a dozen cavalrymen.

However, looking at the cavalry troops that had finally recovered their formation, Qi Lin's heart finally breathed a sigh of relief.

This cheating Age of Empires system does not always command troops like in the game, and in peacetime, the actions of the troops can only be carried out by herald, unless Qi Lincoln spends the same amount of RMB as the number of troops to obtain temporary command of that force.

However, this temporary period can only last for ten minutes.

So Qi Lin didn't want to spend this unjust money to get that so-called command unless it was necessary.

And now...... Qi Lin looked at the number of cavalry in the troop statistics of less than seven hundred, and knew that now was the very necessary moment.

Otherwise, it is very likely that his group of comic cavalry troops will be directly eaten by the opposite group of infantry.

If you let others know about this, you can't laugh off your big teeth?

Looking at the shield phalanx on the opposite side, which looked like turtle shells, Qi Lin knew that his attack was useless, and it was impossible to pose a danger to the other party with the saber of this group of scout cavalry.

On the contrary, his group of cavalry, which basically has no protection, will be thrown by the opponent when they are close to a wave of javelins, spears and the like, and it is estimated that there will be no more than a few left.

"It seems that this group of reconnaissance cavalry is really not suitable for being the main force, they have no attack power, they don't have a bow, and they can't fly kites if they want to. And the armor is brittle to death.,Basically kneel when you touch it.,Except for a little faster.,Reconnaissance field of view is a little wider.,There's basically no advantage.。 It's really a professional reconnaissance cavalry, and he can't do anything but reconnaissance. ”

After sighing for a while, Qi Lin finally had no choice but to withdraw the 'cavalry unit' that had no results.

"It looks like the next thing is to defend the city?"

After the cavalry entered the city one after another, Qi Lin looked at the Roman army parked in the distance, guessing that the other party was probably planning to camp there.

The other side did not bring siege equipment this time, so Qi Lin did not have to worry about the other party coming back to attack in a short time.

However, it is estimated that it will not be long before a real Roman legion is about to come.

And Qi Lin thought of the combat effectiveness of this group of troops in his hands, but he frowned.

"How the hell is the castle era upgraded!"
