Roman Slave Owner

Chapter 108: Big win

   Judging from the smoke and dust, the military strength is at least 2000, which makes Saidoliu's heart cold. It is definitely the enemy's main force, and I don't know how much the enemy's troops are.

   Facing the impact of the cavalry, those infantry did not dare to retreat. They knew that facing the charge of the cavalry, once they retreated, it would be a slaughter on one side.

   "Arrange a circular array with a hundred people as a unit! Arrange a circular array!"

   a military guarantor said loudly.

   After receiving the order, the soldiers who were retreating immediately formed a ring formation with a team of hundreds.

   They raised their shields, facing outwards, so they don’t have to worry about attacks from behind.

   The cavalry rushed to the side of the soldiers, threw the javelin in their hands severely, and then beat their horses and walked away.

   Because there is no stirrup, the combat effectiveness of the cavalry of this era is very problematic.

   When you cut an infantry with a sword, sometimes it's not that the infantry is hacked to death, but you fall off the horse due to the reaction force.

   did not have the style of cavalry rampant in the future generations at all, so after Li Wei discovered this, he did not vigorously develop the cavalry, but went all out to develop the infantry.

   As for things like stirrups, Li Wei doesn't plan to take them out for at least a few decades.

   Rome’s powerful enemies, Parthians, Germans, and Gauls all ruled the roost with cavalry. If the stirrups were made, they would be the biggest enemy.

   Those javelins slammed into the Roman infantry phalanx. Since the phalanx was extremely dense, the hit rate was quite good. But because they reacted quickly, they started tortoise shell formation, and the effect was not significant.

   At this moment, the flags of the three directions fluttered, and the three legions stepped neatly towards Sedorius.

   It’s just that they deliberately left a gap, the opening in the southwest is particularly large.

   Three missing one, it seems that the enemy is not a simple character, Saidoli thought secretly,

   In fact, the West also pays attention to the lack of one. Of course, this tactic is mainly to reduce casualties.

   If you want to wipe it out, it is to cooperate with each other and encircle them, but the casualties are high.

   Li Wei actually wanted to wipe it out, but the casualties were too great, so he was still missing one.

   Next, I just think about Sedoriu and understand what will happen. Once he retreats, he will be chased by ambushes, and then chased by one-sided cavalry.

   But if you don’t retreat, you will really be wiped out.

   This is actually a question of whether to die early or die later.

   After thinking for a while, Sedoriu made a decision.

   "Order from the 5th Group to the 10th Group to stay and stop the enemy, and everyone else will retreat with me."

   As the saying goes, benevolence does not control soldiers, even if you know that you are not the enemy's opponent, then try to minimize your own casualties.

   These 6 brigades include not only the 4 brigades that attacked the city, but also the 2 brigades of the current formation.

   There was a moment of silence, and the bugler immediately blew the bugle.

   The flag of the brigade was waved, and the troops who received the order were desperate, but they still obeyed the order and stayed to stop the enemy.

   "Sorry, I owe you this time."

   Saiduo said apologetically.

   But it’s not so easy to escape. Seeing that Sedoriu really flees to the southwest with the army, the two legions gradually closed in the middle.

   Some soldiers took up crossbow arrows and stood in the front row, squatting in a row, standing in a row, all aiming at the gap.

   There was only an endless wry smile on Sedoliu's face. He said loudly, "Tortoiseshell formation, rush out for me."

   Those Roman soldiers immediately formed the tortoise shell formation, the outermost Roman soldiers erected their shields, and the inner ones put their shields on top of their heads.

   "Let the arrow!"

   said a military security officer.

   The crossbowmen immediately squeezed the trigger, an arrow shot out of the string, and shot at the densely packed Roman soldiers.

   Sedoliu’s army immediately screamed, and the crossbowmen quickly retreated, and then the crossbowmen in the third and fourth rows moved forward and continued to shoot arrows.

  The rain of arrows continued to shoot towards the Roman army, screaming one after another.

   But these Roman soldiers could still bear it, but they soon discovered something was wrong.

   Because the rain of arrows shot at them turned into javelins and stones, the passage Zhang San gave them became narrower and narrower.

   If you want to stay and fight, then die. If you want to escape, you must endure arrows, javelins, and stones.

   This is an unsolvable problem. All kinds of screams appeared around Saidoli. He even witnessed his soldiers fall to the ground with his own eyes. Saiduo was cautious as a knife, but there was nothing to do.

After    rushed out of the gap, Sedoriu glanced back bitterly. He didn't know who attacked him. If he let him know, he vowed to avenge him.

   At this time, the three legions finally completed their encirclement, encircling the six brigades of Cedoliu and some remnants.

   Seeing Saidoliu fleeing here with a group of defeated soldiers, a word suddenly appeared in Zhang San's heart, that is, the dog of the bereavement.

   "Notify all cavalry to chase the fleeing enemy, and leave the rest to the infantry."

   Li Wei said.

   The bugler immediately blew the horn, and the cavalry flags all pointed to the southwest.

   After receiving Zhang San's order, the cavalry immediately got rid of the enemy and chased them to the southwest.

   The city officials and others on the city wall cheered~www.readwn.com~ They were finally saved.

   As for whether to open the city gate to help Li Wei, this decision was quickly denied by them. Their losses were already too great, and they couldn't stand any losses at all.

  Sedoriu hadn't escaped far, just at this moment, another cavalry came out from the diagonal stab.

   They kept throwing Zheng's javelins at the infantry under Saidoliu who fled in embarrassment, and Saiduo left a mouthful of old blood spouting.

   "I will die too."

   There are more than 1,000 cavalrymen alone, and these cavalrymen can kill them in the wild.

   What's more, there are more cavalry chasing from behind. Once they meet, it will be their end.

   This cavalry did not charge immediately, but drove them to the southwest like a sheep, but kept throwing this kind of javelin from the rear.

   Some centurions still wanted to organize a resistance, but by this time the 2,000 cavalry had rushed over and joined the cavalry here.

   More than 3,000 cavalrymen looked mighty, almost all of them were desperate.

   Many people no longer obey Cedoliu's orders. Even the bugler and the banner officer didn't know where they were. Some even dropped their weapons and shields and fled with their heads scattered.

   "Sir, you go first, remember to avenge us."

   At this time, a centurion under Cedoliu said, and when he finished speaking, he took a few of his soldiers and rushed towards the enemy, but soon he was drowned in the enemy's cavalry torrent.

   Saiduo looked at the cavalry with tears in his eyes. He usually treats the soldiers like brothers. It is precisely because of this that he won the soldiers' love.

   "Let’s go, it’s too late if you don’t leave."

   At this time, a captain roared.
