The first thousand one hundred and three chapters are dying
In the early morning, the gate of the fortress slowly opened...
A silent cavalry unit slowly drove out of the city gate, with a trace of deep solemnity on the faces of every knight.
Camus and Milo, the two consuls, wore heavy armor and rode together, their faces equally heavy.
As the best cavalry generals in the Roman Empire, the two of them will lead 60,000 cavalry today to fight a bloody path for the Romans.
The morning glow dispersed the morning fog, and the Chu army's body appeared directly ahead.
Thirty thousand Chu troops had completed their formation, and Zhao Yun stood in front of the formation, leaping on his horse and holding his spear.
As soon as the Romans left the city, Zhao Yun received the report. He quickly assembled his cavalry legion and pretended to intercept the Romans.
The floating figures gradually came into view, and the dark Roman cavalry regiment came into the sight of Zhao Yun and the Chu army.
Sixty thousand Roman cavalry appeared in a mighty formation like an iron wall.
However, Zhao Yun raised a sneer at the corner of his mouth and thought to himself: "Your Majesty's prediction is indeed good. The Romans really can't hold on and will use their cavalry to fight."
Across from each other, Camus and Milo looked at each other and nodded deeply.
Camus raised his iron spear and shouted loudly: "Warriors of the Great Roman Empire, the time has come to defend your honor. For the sake of the Roman Empire, charge forward~~"
Amidst the loud shouts, Camus rode out, followed closely by Milo.
The banner of the consul roared out.
The 60,000 serious Roman cavalry mustered up the courage to survive, roared out, and crashed into the Chu army blocking the road on the opposite side.
The cavalry was rolling with great momentum.
Zhao Yun stood still, waiting for the enemy cavalry to rush closer. Then he raised his silver spear and shouted: "Fire the arrow."
Thirty thousand light cavalry bent their bows and fired their arrows, and the rain of arrows roared towards the Romans.
Under the overwhelming rain of arrows, hundreds of Roman cavalry were shot to the ground, but they could not stop the advance of the Roman army.
At the forefront were 10,000 Roman heavy cavalry. Their armor was thicker than the Persian heavy cavalry. Of course, the Chu army's cavalry bows could not cause damage to them.
Relying on the superior defensive power of their heavy cavalry, the Romans braved the Chu army's arrow rain and charged forward.
In the blink of an eye, the enemy cavalry was sixty paces away.
Zhao Yun knew that once he fought against such an enemy, he would be defeated.
A sneer flashed in his eyes, he whipped up his whip and turned around, shouting: "The whole army retreats."
The 30,000 Chu Qingqiu troops turned in response and retreated quickly towards the north.
Kamiao was overjoyed to see that He had retreated the Chu army, so he and Miloma followed the Chu army without stopping.
On the castle, Momia, Saga and other Roman nobles were all overjoyed to see that Camio had successfully defeated the enemy.
Momia ordered the remaining more than 300,000 Roman infantry troops to leave the fort on the spot, preparing to follow the cavalry legion that opened the way and break out of the siege in one fell swoop.
"Empress Dowager, General Kamiao won too easily. I'm just afraid that the Chu army has a plan, so it's better not to act rashly."
Behind him, Sima Yi, whose face was buried in his cloak, warned Momia in a deep voice.
Momia's body trembled, and she hesitated again.
After pondering for a moment, Momia ordered: "Arudiba, I order you to lead an infantry regiment of 50,000 people to connect Camus and Milo and clear the way for our main force to go north."
Momia accepted Sima Yi's reminder and did not ask all the troops to leave the fort and go north. Instead, she sent an infantry advance team of 50,000 people.
The consul Aludiba gave the order and quickly led 50,000 infantrymen out of the fort, following his cavalry regiment.
To the north, 60,000 Roman cavalry led by Camus and Milo were frantically pursuing the Chu army.
The Romans, who were in agony after being harassed by the Chu army, could finally feel proud this time. They wished they could kill all the Chu army and vent all their anger on this battle.
Anger and a strong desire to survive blinded the rationality of the Romans. They just chased all the way, but ignored the gradually changing terrain around them.
The open plain area gradually closed in, and the hills on both sides gradually rose. The Romans were unknowingly led into a narrow area by Zhao Yun.
"Stop advancing, the whole army stops advancing!" Kamius shouted and stopped advancing. He seemed to feel something was wrong.
Sixty thousand Roman cavalry could not hold back their charge and crowded together in this narrow place.
"What's going on Camus? Why didn't you chase him?" Milo, who was riding up, asked.
Camus Iron Spear pointed around and said in a deep voice: "The terrain here has suddenly become narrower, and the terrain is not good for us. Why do I feel that the enemy is deliberately trying to lure us here."
Milo Huan glanced at it and suddenly became suspicious.
Just when the two were suspicious, they suddenly heard the sound of cannon, and countless Chu troops suddenly appeared on the hills on the left and right.
There are thousands of them all over the mountains and plains, countless.
Tens of thousands of dense arrows, like the eyes of the god of death, locked deeply on them.
Camus, Milo, and the tens of thousands of Roman cavalry were all frightened. They thought they were chasing the enemy easily, but they realized that they had fallen into the Chu army's trick of luring the enemy and were led into the ambush.
"We've been ambushed, retreat, the whole army retreats!" Kamius was so frightened that he didn't have time to think about it. He roared loudly, turned around and retreated.
The 60,000 Roman cavalrymen were frightened and turned around to retreat. However, the terrain here was narrow and more than 60,000 people were crowded here. They could not easily turn around in a moment.
On the hill, Yan Liang's eyes were like daggers, scorning the chaotic and frightening Roman cavalry below, as if he were looking at prey that had fallen into a trap.
With a sneer, Yan Liang pointed his horse whip towards the foot of the mountain: "Let the whole army fire arrows and shoot all these Roman enemies for me!"
Boom, boom, boom!
The sound of firing arrows and drums soared into the sky.
In one breath after inflating, tens of thousands of sharp arrows were shot out almost at the same time, whistling towards Zhiren.
The densely packed arrows intertwined into a dragnet in the sky, falling down with a heavy black pressure.
In an instant, thousands of Roman cavalry were shot to the ground.
Heart-rending screams suddenly arose, blood spattered, and blood mist filled the air.
All these tens of thousands of ambush troops were equipped with Chu's strongest hard crossbow, which could penetrate even the thickest armor. The Roman heavy cavalry appeared so fragile and vulnerable to the blow of this hard crossbow.
.
Under the dense arrow net, the Romans who fell into the trap were like living targets, their heads being harvested wantonly by the Chu army's crossbowmen.
The Romans, who suffered heavy casualties, left corpses everywhere and fled southward desperately.
After a few rounds of arrows, the Romans had nearly 20,000 dead and wounded, and the remaining people were holding the arrows and almost escaped from the range of the arrow net.
At this moment, Yan Liang raised his whip and shouted: "The whole army rushes down the mountain. I will crush the fleeing enemies. No one will be left behind."
The flag of faith rises again.
The 30,000 Chu troops put away their bows and crossbows, mounted their horses one after another, and using their condescending momentum, they charged across the mountains and plains towards the embarrassed and frightened Romans.
Pound took the lead, rolling down the mountain like a rock with his sword in hand, heading straight to the Romans' right wing to take the flag.
Under the banner of the general, the consul Milo was waving his sword wildly and running in panic.
Suddenly, he felt an unprecedented strong murderous aura, rushing toward him like lightning and wind.
When he turned around sharply, Pang De was already rushing towards him like a bolt of black lightning.
With his long sword on the horse, he exerted all his strength, and then with the help of the swooping momentum, Pang De's sword roared and slashed with the force of destroying everything.
The sword came too fast and too fiercely. Milo, who was in panic, was about to raise his sword to meet it, but he was already too late.
The hunting blade was like a stream of light, passing by his eyes.
Milo, who was unprepared, only heard a "click" and the head flew into the air.
Pound killed one of the Roman consuls with one sword, and ran into the enemy like a tiger and wolf, killing and harvesting heads crazily.
The Romans completely lost their fighting spirit, abandoned their helmets and armor, and scurried southward like rats.
Nakamiao saw that Milo's general flag had fallen, and knew that Milo had died in the battle. He was even more horrified, but he did not dare to stay a step, endured the arrow wound on his shoulder, and fled on horseback.
Just as they were about to rush into the open area, there was a sudden sound of cannons in front, and a Chu cavalry shot out from the diagonal thrust, cutting off the Romans' path.
The Chu general at the head, wielding a big spear and invincible, was none other than General Wen Chou.
The appearance of Wen Chou's Chu army completely cut off the Romans' hope of escape. Behind them, Pang De's ambush and Zhao Yun's decoy troops arrived one after another, completely surrounding the fleeing Romans.
By this time, Camus could no longer care about his subordinates. He completely gave up command and just ran for his life.
Although Camus was injured by an arrow, he was still a general in the Roman army. He was extremely skilled in martial arts. He danced with an iron spear and killed many Chu soldiers in a row, trying desperately to open a bloody path.
Seeing that there was only one step left, Camus was about to break out of the encirclement.
At this time, Wen Chou, who was in the midst of a killing spree, discovered his existence.
The Roman general's head was such a tempting result. Wen Chou's murderous intent was raging. With a roar like thunder, his horse came diagonally, blocking Camus' path.
"Roman dog thief, take your life!" With loud shouts, Wen Chou's big spear in his hand spiraled forward, and with the power of the violent waves, it stabbed Camus.
Before the gun point reached him, the overwhelming force was so oppressive that Kamius could hardly breathe.
"There is such a master in Chu [***]!" Kamiao was shocked and did not think much about it, so he could only raise his spear to meet him.
throat!
There was a dull loud noise, and Camus' body shook violently. The arrow wound was torn into three parts due to the force of the shock, and he almost cried out in pain.
However, Wen Chou didn't give him a chance to breathe. Heavy gun shadows rolled in like lightning, and violent storms of moves swung towards Kamius.
In the blink of an eye, Camus was completely suppressed by Wen Chou. He was extremely passive and could only resist in a hurry.
Kamuo's martial arts skills were not weak in the first place, but the injury on his back shoulder severely weakened his combat power, and he was easily suppressed by Wen Chou in a matter of seconds.
Kamuo became more and more strenuous as he fought, and his moves became more and more scattered. He could barely survive more than twenty moves, but he was already full of flaws.
Wen Chou's fighting spirit was igniting. Suddenly, he let out a low roar, and the power of the gun in his hand suddenly doubled. The extremely fierce spear style was rolled out like a wave, and he actually tried to kill Kamiao in a few moves. (To be continued.)
