Destiny Only Han

escape!
Run away!
This was the only thought on the mind of the Numidian King Mississauga at the moment.

Behind him, the Numidian light cavalry panicked like birds and beasts.

They fought against the cavalry of the Han army only one face to face, and the formation was torn apart by the cavalry of the Han army who rushed forward, and they were defeated like a battered army!
After all, this is a dimensionality reduction blow.

And this kind of dimensionality reduction strike is not only reflected in the weapon armor, that is, plate armor and chain armor, but more importantly, the dimensionality reduction strike of tactical tactics.

Since the history of human beings, most of the most capable cavalry in the West came from Eastern Europe and Central Asia. The only cavalry unit that can be used in Africa is probably the Mamluk cavalry more than 1000 years later.

Well, East Asian cavalry existed uniquely at least before modern times.

Although Nahuang said that two Mamluk cavalry can easily deal with three French cavalry, one hundred French cavalry can be evenly matched with one hundred Mamluk cavalry, and three hundred French cavalry can defeat three hundred French cavalry in most cases. A thousand Mamluk cavalry, a thousand French cavalry can always defeat fifteen hundred Mamluk cavalry...

A sub who looks down on the Mamluk cavalry.

But Nahuang's body is very honest.

After the war, he recruited a large number of Mamluk cavalry, and formed an elite Polish cavalry, which was specially used to restrain the cavalry of other European countries...

Therefore, the Numidian light cavalry also bullied and bullied the Romans who were also not good at cavalry. When they really met the Han Chinese cavalry who could easily beat the Huns, they could only pray that their horses would run away quickly...

At this time, the superiority of the light cavalry is reflected.

What matters is the racial advantage.

Although Numidia is also a country around the Mediterranean Sea, they are relatively smaller than the Greeks and Romans across the sea, as well as the Carthaginians and Egyptians around them.

The general height is less than 1.6 meters.

Short and thin, they were not overtaken by the cavalry of the Han army even though they were defeated.

However, this is only temporary.

Whether it is the Black Sail Knights or the Black Crow Knights, although they are organized by the Han Army, they are actually more similar to the European Knights in the Middle Ages.

After all, they are also mercenaries...

In addition to taking money to do things, mercenaries usually have the legal right to rob.

Because of this, they are rich.

Men in later generations usually change cars, houses, and wives after they get rich, and members of the Knights are no exception. Each of them has a lot of horses!

For traveling, for carrying goods, for rushing, for racing, for pretending to be aggressive, etc...

At this moment, they are jumping off the warm-blooded horses used for charging, and changing to the fast horses used for racing brought to them by their followers from behind!
Most of these horses have the blood of Arabian horse and Turkmen horse.

The limbs are slender, and the speed can even reach [-] kilometers per hour, and it can maintain it for about half an hour!

Now these fast horses are recharging their energy, carrying the half-armored Han knights on their backs, they really charge forward as if flying close to the ground.

In the blink of an eye, the Numidian light cavalry who thought they had escaped appeared in their sights.

"Exorcism is done!"

"Revenge for the killed soldiers of the Governor's Palace!"

In the knight order, a series of high-sounding slogans sounded.

Regardless of whether the Romans and Numidians believed it or not, at least the member states of the Eastern Treaty Organization believed it. For this reason, the kings of all countries unanimously approved the "special military action" proposed by Dou Guangguo, and the army marched westward to strike Numidia and Numi Accomplice of the Dians.

Cancer of mankind, evil Rome!
The Numidians who were fleeing were stunned.

This is not because of the slogans of the Han army. After all, they can't understand Chinese, especially the members of the two knight orders come from all corners of the country, and their accents are even more outrageous.

Their bewilderment lies in the rapid approach of the Han army knights.

This speed is beyond their cognition.

After all, the breed of horses under their crotch is primitive, and there is no horseshoe. This kind of iron plate nailed to the horse's shoe can not only reduce the wear and tear of the horse's hoof, but the most important thing is that the hoof is very hard, and the hoof can be inserted into the soil when the horse is running. Here, it can make the horse run more steadily and increase the speed of the horse!
There are other reasons that restrict the Numidian light cavalry from running at full speed.

Stirrup.

As Numidians who grew up on horseback, although they could sit on the horse's back without relying on stirrups, once the horse started running rapidly, the horse's back was no longer as stable as it was when it was still, and became bumpy.

This is commonly known as 'wave'.

And to sit firmly on horseback is called 'playing waves'.

In simple terms, surfing is a process in which the rider stands up following the rhythm of the horse when the horse is running, and then sits down to ease the bumps.

In this state, if the rider cannot step on the stirrups to force his butt off the horse's back for a short time, he must use his knees and calf muscles to clamp the horse's neck to the chest, and then use his thighs and waist to exert force The posture of hitting the waves.

This posture will not only accelerate human fatigue, but also make the horse feel very uncomfortable.

After all, when anyone is running, if someone grabs his neck and presses his chest with his hands, it's okay to feel uncomfortable!
And this kind of discomfort will definitely affect the speed of the horse!
After a dozen or so breaths, the Numidian light cavalry in the last row found desperately that no matter how they pushed their horses to run, the bright halberds in the hands of the Han army knights were still getting closer and closer to their backs. getting closer.

Eventually, the distance between the two is negative!

puff!
The halberd left the body, and blood flowed out along with the strength.

The Numidian light cavalry who had been pierced could no longer sit firmly on their horses, and fell off their horses in an instant.

And what greeted him was the continuous trampling of iron hooves!
Fan Kang swung his long sword vigorously and roared loudly:

"rush!"

"do not stop!"

"Rush into the city of Carthage and rescue the people who are suffering there!"

"Amitabha, my Buddha is compassionate!"

Mercy, you big-headed ghost, do you want to listen to what you are saying... Dou Guangguo suddenly rolled his eyes, and also drew his sword and shouted.

"For Your Majesty!"

"For glory!"

"Come on!"

at the same time.

Hundreds of sail shadows appeared on the rippling sea.

Among the dozen or so most conspicuous ships, the bows are not in the Mediterranean style, but a new style with a ram at the bottom and a round fort on the top.

The flags fluttering on the top of the sails indicate the ownership of these big ships.

Chinese.

Around the big ship, there are Mediterranean-style galleys depicting styles such as owls.

These ships are the naval warships of the East Treaty allies Greece, Macedonia and other countries.

At the port just over 20 miles away from the city of Carthage, the city of Carthage was broken, and the Roman fleet, which was about to return to transport prisoners of war and treasures, left the port in a hurry.

They want to run.

Compared with the arrogance of the army, the navy is more pragmatic.

After all, naval battles are different from land battles. Most of the time, it is not based on people's will. It is common sense that more people win than few people, and a big ship wins a small boat.

In the past, the Roman fleet did not lack the courage to fight to the death with the Greek and Macedonian fleets.

But now it's different.

Han people are all devils!
The Han people control the magic that makes everyone unmatched, and when the thunder sounds, blood will flow for thousands of miles!
Therefore, they can only run away.

After all, unlike the Roman legionnaires, most of the oarsmen of the Roman fleet were hired low-level civilians, and they were paid for a day of paddling.

In this state, it is impossible to expect them to fight the enemy with their lives!

Moreover, the war between Rome and Carthage was a war of aggression and an unjust war.

The most important thing is that after the victory over Carthage, the legionnaires can eat enough, and the generals who command the battle can eat enough. Even if their lungs are exhausted, these oarsmen are still dead wages...

A few hundred yuan a month, what fate?

So, although the legionnaires on the shore jumped and scolded cowards, the commander of the fleet, who could not be violated by the public opinion, pretended not to hear anything, and commanded the fleet to go west.

He heard that the overseas colonies of the Carthaginians formed a fleet and prepared to attack Rome!
Therefore, they are going to stop the enemy's fleet to defend the city of Rome, the Senate, and the people of Rome!
In this way, after the Han warships fired two symbolic cannonballs to celebrate, they captured the port closest to the city of Carthage almost without bloodshed...

Well, the legionnaires at the port also ran away.

After all, they are not fools. The sea is full of enemy warships. With just a few hundred of them, how can they resist the enemy's landing at the port?

....................................

Carthage city.

In the thick smoke, Cicero, the commander of the coalition forces, began to regret.

If he had known that the Han people would make such a move and come so quickly, he would not have chosen to use this all-out offensive tactic to attack the city of Carthage.

Especially after the city was broken, the fortifications such as the arrow tower built by the Carthaginians were also burned by the legionnaires!
This means that the Roman Legion cannot rely on Carthage to defend on the spot, and the only option is to fight the Han army head-on on flat ground!

Had it been half a day before, Cicero felt that the Roman legion might have won.

But now, this kind of victory may be impossible!

After all, the legionnaires have already entered the state of looting, and it is almost impossible for them to fight the enemy to the death like hungry wolves!

Needless to ask, Cicero knew what the legionnaires stuffed under their armor were thinking.

run!
As long as they escape the battlefield, they have plenty of ways to return to the city of Rome by boat!
And at that time, they will appear as a rich man!
With a wave of your hand, it is raining gold all over the sky. It is no longer the bitter life of the past. Ordinary citizens who need to stay away from their relatives and work hard with others to get money to support their families!
But the crux of the matter is, what should he do?
In the blink of an eye, Cicero figured everything out.

He runs too!
And run first!
About half a day away from the northwest of Carthage, there is a port unknown to the legionnaires!

Therefore, under his order, the legionnaires recruited by the Cicero family quickly loaded boxes of gold on the carriage, and headed northwest along the path quickly and secretly.

And he followed closely behind. (end of this chapter)
