Chapter 448: Cavalry Raid

Now that the plan has been formulated, the next thing to do is to implement the plan that has been formulated at the moment.

Han Xin and Xiang Yu took the lead in taking action.

The two men each led 2,000 cavalry, and then, fully armed, they began to march lightly and slaughtered Rome.

Speaking of which, in the current era.

The power of these two thousand cavalry is quite infinite.

The reason is simple.

In the current era, because of the horse pedal, the saddle has not yet successfully appeared in this world.

This thing is the only one of the Great Qin Empire.

Moreover, there were not too many horses in the whole of Rome.

Their soldiers, in fact, are mainly infantry.

Under such circumstances, these 4,000 cavalry were enough for Rome to go up and down and drink a pot.

A few days later.

The news that the cavalry from the Great Qin Empire had penetrated deep into the territory of Rome and carried out burning and plundering reached the ears of the consuls who were gathering the army, and when they learned from the reports of their subordinates that the enemy was only about 4,000 men, and they were divided into two ways and operated on their side.

The face of the archon was gloomy and unusual.

He didn't expect that the army of the Qin State would be so hateful.

He was so arrogant, with only a few thousand people, that he dared to take the lead in going deep into Rome.

For a time, the consul, who had already recruited an army of more than 100,000 troops, immediately made a decision, that is, to mobilize his own heavy troops.

On the battlefield.

More than 10,000 Roman soldiers are forming a large phalanx, facing the two thousand Great Qin Iron Cavalry under Xiang Yu in front of them, facing these cavalry of less than 2,000 people, the Roman soldiers did not have the slightest fear.

At this time, they didn't know the strength of this army, and they didn't know the strength of this cavalry.

Well, the soldiers of Rome have not seen the power of the formed cavalry, and in history, it was not until the Huns moved west that these people in the West completely saw the power of these nomadic legions.

At this time, Xiang Yu was the commander of this cavalry, and after seeing the enemy in front of him, Xiang Yu did not hesitate, and he directly made a decision, that is, to lead the army under his command to kill among the Roman soldiers in front of him.

I saw that Xiang Yu sneered, looked at the enemy in front of him, and then shouted at the cavalry under his command.

"Kill the enemy with me!"

"No!"

For a time, two thousand cavalry quickly formed a shock wave, and all the cavalry, divided into two rows, lined up, all the soldiers, quickly galloped up and rushed towards the enemy's infantry phalanx.

At the time of rushing towards the infantry phalanx of the enemy troops.

The Roman infantry in the distance, the commanders among them, couldn't help but let out a sneer.

Well, in their opinion.

The cavalry of the Great Qin Empire is simply a fool.

Because, the array lined up by these Roman soldiers is not an ordinary array.

The array they formed was the famous Macedonian phalanx.

That is, a dense phalanx composed of infantry holding spears, historically, when Alexander was on his crusade, he relied on such a phalanx to completely conquer countless territories.

In such a situation.

These Roman soldiers were undoubtedly quite confident and sure of the spears in their hands and the phalanx formed by their own army.

They never believed that the soldiers of the Great Qin Empire would kill them.

At this time, with Xiang Yu and them, they launched an attack, and two thousand cavalry and eight thousand horse hooves stepped on the ground, and the movement produced was simply earth-shattering.

For a while, the Roman soldiers at the forefront couldn't help but be a little frightened, but under the constraints of military discipline, these Roman soldiers still adhered to their duties and were there, patiently waiting, dealing with the approaching enemy army.

It's close.

It's close.

Seeing it, the distance between the two sides is getting closer and closer.

For a while, the bows and arrows and ballistas among the Roman soldiers immediately began to fire, and these launches caused some sporadic casualties to the soldiers of Daqin, mainly caused by ballistas.

However, with the approach of the cavalry of the Great Qin Empire.

For a while, when all the soldiers arrived.

Just when the Roman soldiers thought they were going to engage in hand-to-hand combat.

In the distance, the approaching Daqin soldiers and cavalry quickly picked up a flintlock pistol from their horses.

Immediately, in the air, a series of gunshots rang out.

At the moment when the shots rang out.

The Roman soldiers in the front row fell in rows, hundreds of people fell in an instant, and at this time, the second round of gunfire rang out, and it was the bullets fired by the soldiers of the second round of impact.

Just two rounds of shooting.

The enemy soldiers lost a large number of soldiers.

Lost almost a thousand soldiers.

Ten thousand soldiers, a thousand lost.

It's already amazing.

And, most importantly, with the loss of nearly a thousand soldiers, the phalanx of Roman soldiers has become somewhat loose.

All the soldiers were terrified of the sudden damage to the enemy.

The reason is simple.

In the face of such a formidable enemy.

Inevitably, they have a fear in their hearts.

However, the officers were still ordering, ordering all the soldiers to strictly observe the discipline of the army, and then, preparing for battle with the enemy.

However, just as all the enemies were preparing to engage the soldiers of the Qin army.

Xiang Yu and them, but after finishing shooting, Le Ma stopped.

Then, into the hands of the enemy, a large number of hammers were thrown.

At this moment, these Roman soldiers looked confused.

They haven't figured out what these hammers are for, and some soldiers have even picked up the "hammers" they have made and played with them, thinking that this thing is of good quality and can be taken back into the house and used as a hammer.

However, at this time.

This "iron hammer" exploded directly.

Well, it's not a hammer at all.

This thing was a bomb thrown by the soldiers of Great Qin.

For a while, with these bombs, they exploded.

Originally, the Roman soldiers, who were able to barely maintain and barely support it, could not support it at all.

For a while, they began to scatter and flee.

And this is the opportunity for Xiang Yu and them to take the initiative.

I saw that Xiang Yu did not hesitate, led the army, and then rushed over, strangled all the way, pursued, until the enemy was completely defeated, and then, most of them were killed, and this was the end.

For a while, after all of this.

Xiang Yu and the others calmly withdrew from the battlefield.

And when they evacuated.

The consuls who came from dozens of miles, as well as the whole of Rome, the officials up and down, couldn't help but show solemn expressions, and the reason was very simple.

They had already seen with their own eyes the strength of the army of the Great Qin Empire.

Inevitably, there was an exclamation at this time.

Some of them were shocked.
