Chapter 2553 Ambush
Therefore, when Yupal once again received the news from his scouts that the Ninth Spanish Legion was wandering behind his home, his expression became much ugly.
It is obvious that in Yupal's view, it should be the 9th Spanish Legion that targeted its reinforcements, and even the other party might want to swallow it, which is a problem.
The biggest advantage of cavalry on the plain is here. They can start wars at will and withdraw from wars at will. Even if they do nothing, as long as they hang behind enemy infantry, it will be enough to put great pressure on infantry.
Even if the Immortal Guards of the Esvan der Yar family deserve the reputation of elite troops, the great advantage of cavalry on the plains forced Yupal to think about how much trouble it would cause such an elite cavalry to hang behind them.
[We have to think of a way, well, I remember there is a place ahead suitable for ambush, but the opponent may not be able to go there. The advantage of the cavalry is in this regard. Enter the battlefield at any time, withdraw from the battlefield at any time, and choose the battlefield they want...] Yupal thought with a serious expression.
However, after thinking for a long time, Yupal decided to take the initiative first and tried to lure the Ninth Spanish Legion of Rome to the battlefield he had arranged.
"Ha, have you encountered that heavy infantry again?" Li Jue, who was looking for a new training point, frowned when he heard the report of the Qiang cavalry.
"Does the other party have any ideas about us?" Fan Chou touched his thorny beard, his eyes were cold.
"I have never seen an infantryman on the Great Plains who wants to fight with our cavalry." Guo Siga was moving his joints, and it seemed that he wanted to start first.
"It's probably an accident. Forget it, just let the scouts stare at it. It's really a tough fight to fight the regular army. Let's practice again." Li Jue touched his chin and said. He didn't think the commander of the regular army of Rome was a brainless person and dared to tease them on the plains.
What's more, after the first encounter, the other party was very tactful and led the troops away quickly. From this perspective, the other party definitely did not want to conflict with him, so Li Jue tended to be accidental, of course, it was mainly because Li Jue didn't want to fight, and the regular army in Rome was not easy to deal with.
"What you said so..." Guo Si was a little hesitant. Among the three of them, only Li Jue was qualified to call him wisdom, so when discussing survival, Li Jue had the right to make decisions.
"Okay, since you think so, I won't say anything." Fan Chou threw a piece of meat pie to Li Jue, "But if I meet again next time, I can't help it."
"Even if it is an accident, it should be killed after encountering three times." Li Jue said angrily, "What accident can make both parties encounter three times, but only requires something else!"
However, Fan Chou was a crow's mouth. Before seven days, they were attacked by what they thought were Roman archers. Li Jue was as dark as the bottom of the pot at the time. As a decisive army, they once again suffered the loss of the iron cavalry's short legs in pursuit.
Although the Iron Cavalry is now of high quality, it is also a habit of dealing with night attacks for many years, and the patrol team is well arranged, and it has not been attacked by the so-called Roman archers.
Even before the rain of arrows shot into the camps arranged by the Iron Cavalry at will, veterans, Qiang cavalry and secret whistle patrolling at night had already used special methods to inspire the Xiliang Iron Cavalry to deal with the commonly used strong attack and counterattack defense system during night sneak attacks.
How to say this system? That is, before the opponent attacks in to cause chaos, the elite cavalry on the periphery will directly carry their guns and get on the horse and fight out first to force a counterattack to disrupt the opponent's offensive.
Anyway, Li Ru repeatedly warned the soldiers of the Western Liang Iron Cavalry that the opponent would not be a sneak attack when the night attack. Generally, as long as you get on the horse with your weapons, the opponent will definitely be even more chaotic than you, and you will be able to fight at that time.
Although the other party is definitely more chaotic than you, Li Ru fooled the Western Liang Iron Cavalry, I have to admit that this set of tactics is particularly effective for the Western Liang Iron Cavalry.
After all, the Iron Cavalry itself has a very high combat power. It is not impossible to rush out and disrupt the opponent's formation. On the contrary, as long as the elite troops on the periphery attack and the Iron Cavalry behind it, the combat power of the Western Liang Iron Cavalry will basically succeed in counterattacking.
Of course, if even the elites who are well-trained and have explosive combat power cannot successfully fight back, then it can only be said that the opponent is the top elite. The final result is that both sides are beaten into dog brains.
Naturally, the elite veterans outside responded to the order again when they were attacked by night. The moment they were awakened, they immediately touched the spear beside the bed, then pierced the tent and turned over the horse, and rushed out directly.
The camp that was created does not require a wall. The camp where the Xiliang Iron Cavalry was almost full of flaws in the normal legion, but when it rushed out, it was full of roads. Therefore, before the arrows of the archers and cavalry on the opposite side were shot in, the Xiliang Iron Cavalry had already killed them.
Therefore, in terms of the result, the Western Liang Iron Cavalry actually suffered no losses, but Li Jue was also very angry when he was attacked by his opponent in the early morning. He was furious and ignored the supplies in the camp and chased the archers directly.
Today, we will kill these bastards who disturb people’s dreams and all of them will be killed!
"Is this situation wrong?" Li Jue and others chased the archers in front in the dark. After chasing for a quarter, Fan Chou suddenly asked a question.
"What's wrong?" Li Jue asked with a dark face and anger.
"We should be the slowest cavalry." Fan Chou said as he looked at the archers who kept turning around and shooting arrows in front, but did not distance themselves from them.
"..." Guo Si and Li Jue were speechless when they heard this. There was no doubt that the Western Liang Iron Cavalry was the slowest cavalry, so slow that they were only a little faster than infantry. Therefore, theoretically speaking, the Iron Cavalry generally failed to pursue the enemy. Even if they reached the top elite, they would not run much faster than the most ordinary cavalry now.
Speaking of which, the divine iron cavalry, which was also sublimated by the Western Liang Iron Cavalry, has relatively little blessing in terms of speed. Even if necessary, relying on burning military souls, it can also create a very terrifying high speed, but the group of iron cavalry under Li Jue's command are all short-legged.
"Adu, you and Lao Fan took two thousand people to find the group of heavy infantry. If you find it, you will kill it on the spot. If you can't find it, just set a distance from the side to cover it." Li Jue instantly understood what Fan Chou meant. What is the light cavalry that their iron cavalry could catch up with, not lure the enemy?
"Okay!" Fan Chou and Guo Si immediately unfolded their respective legion talents and dragged two thousand units to extend directly from the two wings. After that, Li Jue held a gun high, and his own legion talent also burst out with all his strength, "Qiang Kai-shek assault!"
The Western Liang Iron Cavalry is still so slutty. After adding a group of Qiang cavalry, Li Jue and Guo Si once again resumed the battle mode of the former tiger and wolves. With Li Jue's roar, the Western Liang Iron Cavalry extended a blood-red glow, and the low-key Qiang cavalry beside him expanded rapidly like a balloon suddenly injected into the air.
The momentum on his body was rising steadily, and even the Qiang King Guards from Ma Chao almost reached the level of top elites, broke out from the battle formation of the Western Liang Iron Cavalry, then turned into arrows, and chased the bows and cavalry that were shooting in front of him.
The Iron Cavalry runs slowly, yes, it is indeed short-legged, and it is very famous for its short-leggedness. However, the Iron Cavalry has auxiliary soldiers that other legions do not have. The Qiang Cavalry is a cavalryman. Although his legs are not as exaggerated as the White Horse Yiqi, after being blessed by the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, he is probably at most a little slower than the top Rangers in Anxi.
Naturally, the Qiang cavalry who was thrown out like this, stabbed their fangs and extended wingspan before the archers in front could not react. They surrounded the archers before they even entered the ambush circle preset by Yupal.
"Kill these bastards to death for me!" Seeing that the Qiang cavalry had successfully surrounded the archers in front of him, Li Jue immediately roared forward, and all the iron cavalry soldiers roared and launched a charge.
Yupal, who was lying in the tunnel for cover, was shocked to see this scene. His Rangers observed for five days and confirmed that the opponent did not have high maneuverability, so he made such a plan. Unexpectedly, the opponent's reserve army actually had super high raid ability.
[Damn it, how could it be? How could Rome have the power similar to the rangers of the Gupatlan family? How could this be possible!] Yupal saw that the other party was less than a hundred steps away from the place where he was ambushing, but the Qiang cavalry had completed the slanting sweep and turned around and was about to successfully encircle, and was shocked!
However, at this time Yupal had no extra choice. He really had to wait for the Roman army to kill the Rangers he released. At the distance they were ambushing now, they might be able to fool them by relying on the darkness before dawn, but after the battle, they wanted to hide the distance of more than a hundred steps under the other party's nose. What's the difference between it and dreaming?
"Arrowers fire arrows! The guards lined up to deal with it!" Yupal immediately stopped hesitating and ordered the archers hidden in shallow tunnels to stand up and scatter directly. If he didn't make a decision at this time, the morale of the army would be shaken.
For a time, the bushes that were originally in front of the Qiang cavalry were directly overturned, and a large number of elite archers of Anju started shooting wildly. As another development route for archers, Anju archers, known for their speed, shot out tens of thousands of arrows when they opened the bushes and raised the arrows.
