The first thousand three hundred and ninety-five chapters after Huang Zhong attacked
Chapter 1,395 After Huang Zhong’s Attack
Hearing that the enemy had a large-scale cavalry attack on his front army, Everard couldn't help but be startled. He was really afraid of what was going to happen. He had already sensed that his army was stretched a bit too long, so he ordered the army to gather together.
Thinking that he would still be caught by the enemy, he launched an attack.
The Chinese army is absolutely elite. Not only is the main force of the Mengshan Army here, but also the main force of the 20,000 Kelan Army. What they have to do now is to seize the time to support, and they must not give the opponent a chance to eat up the frontline army.
The Chinese army began to march quickly towards the front army. At the same time, it also sent troops and horses to the rear army to let the opponent speed up.
Zhao Yun was overwhelmed by the front army here. He wanted to defeat the opponent as quickly as possible, or at least completely defeat them.
But the Kushan Army also knew its own situation. The central and rear troops were close at hand. As long as they could persist, they would win, so it was very difficult to defeat them.
There was a fierce battle ahead, and the Chinese army was moving forward quickly, and a cavalry of scouts also rushed to the rear.
"General Harkett, the front army was attacked by the enemy's cavalry. General Everard has led the middle army to speed up support. The general ordered the rear army soldiers to speed up and support the front line battlefield."
The scout directly conveyed Everard's order to Harkett in the rear.
"In the fierce battle ahead, is it the enemy or the cavalry?
Immediately order the rear troops to assemble a defensive formation, and then slowly advance forward."
Harket couldn't help but frowned when she heard the news.
"Sir, there is a fierce battle ahead. Why do we need to assemble a defensive formation? Shouldn't we support quickly?"
Next to Harkette was a strong man with blond hair and blue eyes. His eyes were full of confusion when he looked at him.
"Polzinvik, I suspect that the enemy's target is not just the former army, but may also attack us."
Harketette can become a mercenary leader who travels north and south. He is first-class in terms of experience and adaptability. He is also a run-down nobleman from Parthia. He knows that his front line is too long now, and the enemy may
Will carry out the action of cutting off the beginning and ending.
"Probably not. If the enemy has so many troops, they will definitely be on the front line. Will they divide their troops to attack us?"
Hearing Harcourt's words, Bolzinvik was in a daze again and didn't understand why he thought so.
"This is the gap between you and the opponent's general. If you have enough troops and horses, you can achieve the greatest results in the shortest time. If they can defeat our rear army, they can make us fall into a two-front battle.
With a head-to-tail attack, we might be able to defeat them all in one fell swoop."
Harcott glanced behind her, as if she wanted to travel through space and see what was going on there.
"I see."
Now Bolzinvik also understood Halkett's worries, and after saluting, he went to give orders to the army.
The mercenaries and escorts under Baqi Mu are all elites who lick blood on the edge of the knife. Although they are better at small-scale battles, they are not afraid of large-scale battles.
Soon a standard Roman phalanx of 10,000 people appeared in the rear. Behind the Roman phalanx was a phalanx of Parthian elite infantry, followed by a convoy organized by the Kushans and 20,000 new Kushan troops.
Not long after the military formation was formed, the fifty thousand cavalry led by Huang Zhong came over with rumbling horse hooves.
"Enemy attack, defense."
Seeing the enemy cavalry attacking, Harkett felt relieved. He no longer had to worry about the enemy's attack, and the resistance was over.
The large shields of the Roman military formation were stuck on the ground, and spears were thrust out, instantly turning the front line into a steel city wall.
"Fire the arrow."
Huang Zhong saw that the other party was on guard and was fearless. Now that he was here, he didn't think about what to do.
Arrow after arrow rose into the sky and flew towards the Roman military formation at the front.
"Shield."
Bolzinvik stood in the middle of the military formation and directly commanded his Roman infantry to defend.
In an instant, the shield was erected, and the Roman phalanx instantly turned into a square formation, covering all the soldiers in it with no blind spots at 360 degrees.
Arrows jingle
Dangdang landed on the shield, but the damage caused to the Roman phalanx was minimal.
"Archers, fight back."
After avoiding the enemy's first wave of arrows, Harkett directly ordered the soldiers to fight back.
A hail of arrows rose into the sky and fell directly on Huang Zhong's cavalry.
"Avoid arrows."
The Chinese cavalry under Huang Zhong were all equipped with iron shields. They held the shields above their heads to block the arrows, and then continued to charge forward.
One of the cavalrymen was nailed to the ground by arrows, but the advancing cavalrymen still did not stop and continued to move forward.
"Throw a spear."
Seeing that the Chinese cavalry were still charging, Bolzinvik directly ordered his Roman mercenaries to throw war spears at the opponent.
Countless war spears soared into the sky, like a violent storm, killing the cavalry in front of them and causing heavy losses.
He didn't expect that the opponent also threw a spear, and he could throw it so accurately, which made him a little depressed. It seemed that what he was facing was not some miscellaneous fish soldiers, but an elite force.
"Throw your spear and charge into battle."
Although the opponent was somewhat different from what he had imagined, they were already ready to attack and had to take action. Even if the opponent was facing mountains of swords and seas of fire, they still had to charge forward.
"Whoosh."
"Whoosh."
"Whoosh."
Countless short spears were thrown out, and like a violent storm, they hit the square Roman formation in front of them.
There was a clanking sound, and even the large Roman shield was unable to withstand the attack of the short spear. Countless shields were shattered at once, and the Roman mercenaries below also died tragically on the spot.
"The back row takes up positions to ensure the front row's defense. The archers continue to shoot at the opponent's back row to block the enemy's subsequent cavalry. The front row prepares for the collision."
Burzinweit was also stunned. Just as Huang Zhong thought, he did not expect that the other party could throw spears like himself, which was a bit embarrassing.
Following Burzinvit's order, Roman mercenaries stepped forward bravely to make up for the somewhat sparse front row.
The Roman mercenaries formed by Burzinvit were different from the regular Roman legions. The regular Roman legions had a large number of long-range weapons, and there were also hired foreign cavalry on the flanks. They did not have such elite equipment and could only rely on long spears to make up for the lack of cavalry.
.
Spear after spear attacked, once again turning the front line into a Great Wall of Thorns.
"Peng."
"Peng."
"Peng."
A series of collision sounds resounded throughout the sky, and the Chinese cavalry crashed into the Roman mercenary line one after another, causing heavy casualties on the spot.
"The first row retreats, the second row goes up."
Although the Chinese cavalry suffered heavy losses, the losses of the Roman mercenaries were also considerable. The first row of soldiers also suffered heavy casualties. He immediately ordered the first row of soldiers to retreat, and the second row of soldiers continued to attack.
After a series of attacks, the cavalry suffered heavy losses, but the opponent's defense was like a turtle shell that could not be broken no matter how hard it was knocked. In this case, it would be difficult for him to cause fundamental damage to the enemy, let alone defeat them.
"Instruct the cavalry to move away from the enemy's frontal defense line and attack the enemy from both sides."
Seeing that it was difficult to break through the enemy's frontal defense line, Huang Zhong could only retreat and try to defeat the opponent from both sides.
Upon hearing Huang Zhong's order, the cavalry under his command gave way to the opponent's front formation and launched an attack on both flanks.
"Prepare both wings for battle, and the escorts will line up with shields behind them. Be careful of the enemy's attack."
Harket saw the actions of the Chinese cavalry and immediately ordered the Parthian mercenaries under his command to defend. At the same time, the Kushan guards raised their shields in the back row, preparing to prevent the cavalry from attacking.
The 50,000 infantrymen were like armies under the command of Harketet. Although there were 20,000 miscellaneous fish, they were all placed in the middle of the army, so they were not afraid of the attack of the enemy's cavalry at all.
Huang Zhong's cavalry detoured from both sides, but facing the tightly defended rear army, if they really wanted to break through the opponent's defense, the price they might pay was not the most bearable.
A loss of more than 10,000 people is considered a loss, a loss of more than 20,000 is a loss, and a loss of 30,000 is a loss of capital.
"what to do?"
Seeing this, the captain next to Huang Zhong was also stunned. This situation is a bit difficult to handle now.
"Shoot arrows along the way, detour around the rear team, and check the opponent's strength before making a decision. If there is really no chance, let's look at the situation."
Huang Zhong also frowned. He didn't want to exchange money with the other party now. Some people do the beheading business, but no one does the loss-making business. He understands this better than anyone else.
"promise."
Upon hearing Huang Zhong's order, the cavalry on both sides bent their bows and set arrows, raining arrows on the enemy. At the same time, they rode forward and passed quickly to sneak attack the enemy's rear team.
"General, the rear army was attacked by the enemy's cavalry, and General Harkett is fighting with the enemy."
Soon the situation in the rear army was also reported to Everard in the middle army.
"General Alencott, you lead the 20,000 Kelan Army and 20,000 infantry to organize defense on the spot. I will lead the entire Mengshan Army to support the former army Tepul."
Hearing that the enemy's cavalry also appeared behind him, Everard became a little uneasy. Although he still had 70,000 soldiers, the only ones that could really be put to use were his 30,000 Mengshan Army and Alenko.
A special army of 20,000 Kelan.
"General Everard, I think we can temporarily abandon Teple's front army, and then move the entire army back, and surround the opponent's rear cavalry with Harkett's troops."
