Volume 12 The Battle of the Western Regions Chapter 359 Reinforcements (1)
Chapter 359: Reinforcements (1)
Thousands of warriors in black and iron armor formed a neat line, and they rushed out in front of the city gate in an offensive formation.
In the distance, all Caesar's high-ranking officials, including Julius Caesar, looked at this group of only 1,000 people inexplicably.
What do they want to do?
Could it be that just a thousand men wanted to attack an army of hundreds of thousands under the command of the great Julius Caesar himself?
No matter how brave and good these people are, their numbers are too small to arouse any attention.
At this time, something unexpected happened to them.
These ironclad soldiers did not attack, except for the three hundred people in front who still maintained the attack formation, the remaining seven hundred people began to organize the nearby battlefield.
They piled up all the corpses of their enemies in one place and cleared a large clearing at the city gates.
The Caesars watched them from afar, not without a general who wanted to launch a tentative attack.
It's just that on the walls of Wolong City, those men who threw mysterious weapons are waiting for them.
They didn't want to die in vain until they thought of a way to crack these powerful firearms.
"They are the pioneers, and there will definitely be troops behind them to continue to attack. However, will the Han people go out of the city to fight us to the death? ”
Grand Duke Abrama gradually understood their movements, but his brow was still tightly furrowed, and he muttered in his mouth.
His words expressed the doubts in the minds of all Caesar's senior officers.
They are clearly here to clean up the battlefield, so what will they do after cleaning up the battlefield?
The attention of everyone on the entire battlefield was attracted by these more than a thousand people.
Closing his eyes, Jiang Kongming took a deep breath of the turbid air full of gunsmoke, and a smile appeared on his face, which was extremely gratifying, as if he had seen the happiest thing.
Xiang Ming looked at the busy soldiers suspiciously.
Tidying up the battlefield should be the work of the Caesar people, otherwise they would not be able to launch an offensive frenzy with corpses everywhere.
Why is it now being done by the Black Flag Army?
"What are they doing?" Xiang Ming, who was full of surprise, finally didn't hold back his curiosity and asked.
"Hehe...... the corners of Jiang Kongming's mouth turned up, mixed with a narrow smile: "They are playing tricks." ”
"Tricky?"
"Well, yes, to attract the attention of the Caesars, by the way, to clear the battlefield so that our army can enter the city."
"Our army?" Xiang Ming looked into the distance, but he saw nothing.
Jiang Kongming smiled slightly, and suddenly pointed to the distance, where was the side and back of the Caesar people, and laughed loudly:
"He's coming......"
"Toot ......"
The sound of a loud trumpet pierced the endless sky and came from behind the Caesars.
Julius Caesar and others all had a change of color on their faces, which was the clarion call for a charge.
But what horrified them was why it came from the rear of the army.
In the distance, a galloping black army appeared on the horizon.
There were not many of them, only about 5,000 people, wearing black iron armor, and they rushed towards this place as fast as lightning.
"It's not good, the grain and grass ......"
Grand Duke Abrama cried out.
Caesar's banner of the Chinese army began to wave, and groups of soldiers rushed towards the baggage where the grain and grass were stored.
It is not known where this force came from, but it was Caesar's baggage camp that they were heading for.
It is the lifeblood of hundreds of thousands of troops, and no matter what, it cannot be lost.
Caesar's well-trained troops soon laid a net around the baggage camp, and they raised their weapons, and if these knights dared to attack here, they were met with a strong resistance from tens of thousands of hoplites.
"Toot ......"
The same horn sounded again, and the phalanx and direction of the knights suddenly made a ninety-degree turn.
They dodged the hoplite regiments that stood in front of them and galloped on either side.
The faces of Julius Caesar and the others changed at the same time, and their target was not the baggage camp, but the camp of the warriors who had been extremely empty.
Outside Wolong City, there are no less than 300,000 troops stationed, and its military appearance is more than 100,000 troops compared with the former Han Xian Emperor's personal expedition.
The camps of these many people are endless, and as far as the eye can see, there is no end.
At this time, when the Caesars were attacking Wolong City with all their might, except for a very small number of fighters left in the camp, only some logistics personnel remained.
encountered this group of wolf-like Black Flag Army soldiers, and there was no power to fight back at all.
One by one, countless tents were trampled by fierce horses, and the Black Flag Army's purpose was not to kill as many Caesars as possible, but to destroy their tents and supplies as best they could.
The Caesars were in the middle of the camp, and there were constant orders coming out of the city.
A group of men and horses guarding the middle camp were constantly dispatched out, and gradually, unconsciously, a huge gap had been exposed on the west side of the Chinese army.
Jiang Kongming and Xiang Ming, who were standing at the head of the city watching the battle, looked at each other, who was in charge of dispatching the army, how could they make such a low-level mistake.
If this is the level of Julius Caesar, then it is incredible.
Jiang Kongming slapped his thigh fiercely and said, "It's such a big gap, didn't the lord see it?" ”
Zheng Fasen, who was beside Jiang Dajunshi, frowned slightly, but only frowned slightly, and immediately returned to normal, and he couldn't see anything wrong anymore.
It's just that I still feel a lot of pain in my thighs.
Jiang Kongming's slap did not slap himself, but slapped it on Zheng Fasen's thigh.
The latter has quick eyes and hands, and immediately converges his skills. He knew very well that although Jiang Kongming was a little stronger, his intelligence was a little higher, and he was a little more energetic. But after all, he is an ordinary person who does not know how to do internal strength.
And as a first-class master, once the true qi of the body protection automatically rebounds, I am afraid that Jiang Kongming will be injured on the spot.
In order to avoid this big joke, he had to desperately restrain his skills, so that Jiang Kongming escaped this catastrophe.
However, although Jiang Kongming does not have any internal strength, he is also a bloody and drunk warrior, and his strength cannot be taken lightly.
The full force of the palm under the anxiety made Zheng Fasen secretly grin his teeth for a while.
"I saw it, my second brother saw it."
There was infinite excitement in Xiang Ming's voice.
The Black Flag Army, which was crisscrossing the camp, suddenly turned in another direction, bypassing the soldiers who had come to block it, and rushed towards the gap.
As if sensing something wrong, Caesar's banner shook again.
The armies on all sides began to gather from all sides, and the troops on the two flanks also abandoned everything and moved closer to the front of the general headquarters.
However, the speed of the Black Flag Army was still beyond their expectations.
Just when the armies on the two sides were still trying to get closer, the Black Flag Army had already reached 200 meters away from Julius Caesar.
It's just that Julius Caesar, who seems to be in danger, still sits upright like a mountain and ignores it.
It's close, only about 200 meters.
"Boom ......"
The dozen or so Black Flag sergeants who were running at the forefront suddenly disappeared out of thin air.
Two hundred meters in front of Caesar the Great, there was a large pit.
The pit was covered with straw, mats, and sand, and was supported by logs in the middle.
There were many bright sharp knives standing upside down in the pit, and the knights of the Black Flag Army were caught off guard and fell down.
The steel armor on the Black Flag Army is indeed extremely hard, but falling from the sky will inevitably make people fall on their backs.
What's more, even the helmet on his head fell off.
In this way, he was stabbed into the brain with a sharp knife, and he didn't even scream, and died tragically under the knife.
Directly ahead, Julius Caesar and others smiled, this trap was originally specially prepared for the Black Flag Army, unexpectedly, it was really used.
Ever since listening to Bancroft's description of the Black Flag Army, Julius Caesar has been mindful of it.
Although the news that Xu Haifeng led tens of thousands of Black Flag Army warriors to defeat the Huns in Taiyuan, then it means that they could not appear here at this time.
However, the news from the spies in the city clearly indicated that some Black Flag soldiers were still stationed in the city.
For these armies, which Bancroft described as the number one demon in the world, even Julius Caesar, who had fought all his life, did not dare to ignore them.
After a detailed inquiry into the circumstances of the day's confrontation, the famous generals in Caesar's empire came to a conclusion that even they could not believe.
These Black Flag soldiers were a group of heavy cavalry regiments with light cavalry speed.
Does such an army really exist in the world, or is it just Bancroft's deliberate exaggeration of the enemy's combat effectiveness in order to evade responsibility?
Julius Caesar did not want to take the risk, so although he was also somewhat suspicious of the source of the information, he ordered a hidden trap to be arranged on the west side.
Unexpectedly, it was not the soldiers of the Black Flag Army in the city who really came up, but these black armies who seemed to be heavenly soldiers and generals who suddenly appeared.
The combat effectiveness they had shown was already terrifying to him.
Still, there was a sneer on Julius Caesar's face.
Tens of thousands?
When did the Black Flag Army expand to tens of thousands, if there were really tens of thousands of such troops in the world, then there would be no need to fight this battle.
However, his smile didn't last long, because next, he saw a spectacular sight that he will never forget.
