Chapter 2004: Backhand
The barbarian army was in chaos, and was rushed by Ma Xiu's tens of thousands of infantry and cavalry, and they could not resist it. The whole ice was disintegrated like the ice and snow impacted by boiling water!
The attacking troops of the barbarian army were completely in chaos. Seeing that the opponent's fierce attack was extremely terrifying, they couldn't help but turn around and run towards their own formation. The defeated soldiers were like a tide, and everyone was rushing to the top.
At this time, screams and slashing sounds continued to sound, and the Han army was chasing fiercely, like tigers and wolves chasing the fleeing deer and sheep!
Seeing this, the leaders of the barbarian army were shocked and angry, and they all shouted angrily to stop their troops!
However, the barbarian army, who had been killed in fear, did not notice the leader's frightened screams, and just rushed towards their own formation. Because they were running away, they felt that only by escaping back to the formation could they be safe.
The leaders of the barbarian army saw that the defeated soldiers were driven by the other party and rushed to the front, everyone changed their color and were at a loss.
Immediately afterwards, the defeated soldiers first rushed to the formation. The barbarians in the army could not attack and kill their own people. They were defeated by the defeated soldiers!
The Han army followed the trend, and the infantry and cavalry swept forward with roars and swords and guns fiercely knocked the barbarian army to the ground! Blood was flying in the chaos, and screams came one after another!
Seeing this, the leaders had to give up the battle and quickly led their troops to retreat to the camp. In an instant, the barbarian army outside the northern city gate was defeated and fell.
The barbarians rushed into the camp first, and Ma Chao led the cavalry to chase the camp all the way before stopping.
The barbarians who fled into the camp looked outside the camp and saw the tragic scene of corpses everywhere outside. Everyone felt a little horrified and a little at a loss.
Ma Chao did not stay there for a long time and immediately led his troops back to the city.
At this time, the army attacking Byzantine on the west and south sides had already learned of the great defeat in the north city gate. In addition, they were shocked, they also stopped attacking and retreated their troops and returned to the camp.
The war came to an end, and the barbarian coalition suffered a big setback.
In the barbarian camp, there were screams of pain one after another, and at the same time, corpses and wounded soldiers were still being carried into the camp.
The angry shouts and roars sounded from time to time, and these barbarian soldiers looked even more violent and anxious, making people afraid to get close!
In the big tent, a group of leaders were roaring, all clamoring to break the Byzantium and slaughter the Han people! Today's battle, the losses were quite large, and these guys could only vent their emotions by shouting.
The oldest Prous frowned and thought, "The Han army is really strong! They are not only terrible in combat, but also proficient in various tactics and cooperate with each other in a tacit way!
Although they are not large, it is definitely not easy for us to win!”
Baker, the largest leader of Gaul, said in a deep voice: "If our three tribes have more than a dozen troops and more than 400,000 troops, it would be a joke if we cannot defeat the Byzantine's only tens of thousands of enemy troops!"
Roman, the leader of the Gallic irritable personality, jumped up and shouted, "We will continue to attack tomorrow! I don't believe that the Han Dynasty is really so powerful!"
Many leaders followed suit and shouted.
Prous and others looked thoughtful, thinking about how to break Byzantium at the lowest cost. They didn't think that such a huge force could not defeat Byzantium, but they wanted to succeed at the lowest cost in the shortest time.
At this moment, the sound of rapid footsteps came from outside.
Everyone couldn't help but look up and saw a Germanic leader coming in.
The leader saluted to Carver, "The Roman messenger is here."
Everyone was slightly surprised. Carver glanced at the other leaders and then said to the leader: "Go and bring the person here." The leader responded, walked quickly, and then led a middle-aged man dressed in as a Roman merchant.
The man glanced at everyone present, performed a chest tribute, and said, "I am the envoy of Her Majesty the Queen, and I am ordered to contact all the leaders!" Monica had already proclaimed himself emperor, so the envoy called himself the envoy of Her Majesty the Queen.
Everyone glanced at him and Roman asked, "What did the Grand Marshal ask you to do?"
The messenger laughed and said, "Her Majesty the Queen asked me to help all the leaders break Byzantium."
The leaders looked at each other, all of whom were surprised, but at the same time they felt that their dignity and glory were stabbed. The Germanic leader Carver said coldly: "No, we will be able to break Byzantium soon."
The messenger smiled and said, "But I heard that the leaders suffered a lot of setbacks in siege today?"
Everyone was told that they were sore, and they all jumped up one after another. Roman roared with a ferocious look on his face: "Are you laughing at us?"
Although the messenger had this intention, he dared not admit it, because in his opinion, facing these barbarians is no different from facing a group of jackals, tigers and leopards.
He hurriedly said, "I don't mean this. I have already said that I am here to help you on the orders of Her Majesty the Queen..."
Prous said angrily: "If you want to say anything, just finish it at once, don't beat around the bush!"
The messenger cursed in his heart, but did not dare to neglect his face at all, and hurriedly said, "That's right. Her Majesty's secret envoy has instigated many nobles in Asia Minor.
Soon, these nobles would come across the sea in the name of supporting Byzantine.
As long as the Han army opens the city gate, the Asian Minor runners will take the opportunity to seize the city gate. Everyone just needs to be prepared to wait for this opportunity. Once the Asian Minor runners capture the city gate, everyone will immediately enter.
As long as the city is broken, even if the tens of thousands of Han soldiers are brave, they will be wiped out by the entire army!"
Everyone didn't expect that Monica had prepared such a trick. She was a little surprised and looked at each other.
Baker sneered: "Just relying on those cowards and trashies in Asia Minor, can they really seize the city gate from the Han army?"
The messenger smiled and said, "Although the Han army is terrible, how could they think that their Allies would betray them! Therefore, it is impossible for the Han army to resist the sudden attack of the Asian League.
Taking a step back, even if the Han army can withstand the attack of the Asian League, it is impossible to expel them in a short time and close the city gate again.
At this time, the leaders' army can take the opportunity to enter! Under such circumstances, the Han army will definitely not be able to resist!"
Everyone looked at each other and felt that what the messenger said was very reasonable.
Pio, the leader of Gaul, asked: "When will those Asians come?"
The messenger said: "The date has been determined and it will be reached in three days. The leaders need to prepare in advance."
Prous asked, "What do your queen need?" Prous would not think it was a free lunch, so he asked this.
The messenger said: "Her Majesty the Queen needs nothing, and this Byzantine is assigned by the leaders."
