Roman Slave Owner

　　 "I think it might be true."

Dumicius said, "When the old Mettrus attacked Tara, he only carried food and water for ten days. Levy was likely to copy his approach. He didn't start returning until five days later, which just proved that. To this point."

　　 The Jukuda War that year had a profound impact on Rome. When Rome was defeated at first, some people even thought it would be another Punic War.

　　 Fortunately, Mallor and Sura suddenly emerged and defeated the Numidian King Jugurda.

　　 As a Roman general, he has studied this battle very deeply.

　　 "So they are really running out of water."

　　 Yi Abbas said with a smile, "Do you think we should attack or continue to wait?"

　　 "Of course it is an offense. Such a good opportunity must not be let go. I think that all the cavalry should be attacked. Delay their return, and then choose a place to start a decisive battle with them."

　　 Dumizius said decisively.

　　 Yi Abbas nodded, in fact he thought so too.

　　 Not long after, a large number of cavalry swarmed out from the city and rushed to the depths of the Gobi.

　　 Li Wei finally felt the pressure of the enemy's cavalry, and the enemy's cavalry was harassed day and night.

　　 There were several large-scale battles between the cavalry on both sides. If it weren't for Li Wei's cavalry, there were infantry as a backing. They were defeated by the enemy's cavalry a long time ago.

　　 "Has the enemy's spy been detected?"

　　 Li Wei asked.

　　 "I found it out. During this time we kept adjusting the position of the water tanker. We also revealed it to different people. Finally, we found that there were problems with two groups of people who took refuge in us."

　　 said a centurion.

　　 "Which two **** are they?"

　　 Li Wei asked.

　　 "It's Pomirka and Naserka."

　　 said the Centurion.

　　 "It turned out to be these two bastards."

　　 Li Wei said angrily, because he forgave Pomilka, but he didn't expect it to be a white-eyed wolf.

　　 "Do you want to catch them?"

　　 the centurion asked.

　　 Li Wei thought for a while, and finally shook his head.

　　 "No, I want to pass some news to the enemy through them."

　　 Li Wei shook his head, maybe he had to act with them.

　　 A cavalry rushed towards the army frantically, "Quickly, there is an enemy cavalry attack. There are at least 2,000 in number."

　　 Hearing a secret curse from a military security officer here, the cavalry was missing again, but it was just in time for him to complete Li Wei's order.

　　 He quickly issued an order for some soldiers to take out the crossbows and arrows from the carriage, and then the army continued to advance as if nothing had happened.

　　 This kind of thing has happened many times along the way. They have long been able to deal with it skillfully.

　　The army is advancing completely in a battle formation, but the water tanker is placed in the middle of the team, so there is no need to adjust the formation.

　　 It didn't take long for them to see a large number of Numidian cavalry. They were like wolves, chasing Li Wei's army in this desolate Gobi.

The horses of the Numidian cavalry are a kind of very short native war horses. These horses have no saddles. The Numidian cavalry ride on horsebacks, holding two or three javelins and a light spear, plus a shield at most. .

　　 Relying on these simple equipment, the Numidian cavalry made a reputation in the Mediterranean world, and even the Romans praised them.

　　 They did not accelerate immediately, but controlled the horses to approach the Roman army in a relatively gentle rhythm.

　　 Before charging, they must save every bit of horsepower.

　　 Seeing this, the army finally stopped, ready to meet the cavalry.

　　 What they didn't know was that at this time a military civic officer was speaking to the soldiers under him that would break them down.

"Remember, our task this time is for them to destroy the water. When we start, we will be lighter. The standard of three-stage shooting is reduced from three arrows per minute to two arrows per person. Being able to shoot in a row, I said that when you retreat, you must retreat. Whether you retreat behind the carriage or look for other shelters, you must let them destroy the water tanker."

　　 The military guard said that he actually wanted them to retreat behind the carriage, but thinking that these might make the enemy find flaws, let them retreat freely, which is more realistic.

　　 Those soldiers looked at each other, what does that mean.

　　 "Does this make us swindle?"

　　 someone asked.

　　 "Yes, this is the general's order."

　　 said the military security officer.

　　 It turned out to be a fraudulent defeat. The soldiers thought about whether the general was thinking of some deceptive idea.

　　 "Remember, this matter must be kept secret, and anyone who dares to disclose it will be sentenced to death immediately."

　　 The military security officer threatened.

　　 These soldiers nodded quickly, expressing their understanding.

　　 At this time, the Numidian cavalry had begun to charge.

　　 They were wearing shorts and tunic, with strange roars in their mouths, and then rushed towards the army.

　　 A sharp copper whistle sounded, and the soldiers standing in the first row shot immediately, and a large number of arrows flew forward at a speed hard to see with the naked eye.

　　 "Puff!"

　　 "Puff!"

　　"..."

　　 Although the distance is a little far away, their target is the horse, so some arrows still hit the target.

　　 At this time they began to retreat, and the soldiers in the second row stepped forward and raised their crossbows to aim at the target.

Some horses were hit and fell to the ground with a whine. The cavalry on the horse fell directly to the ground. On the ground, I didn’t know how many laps before they stopped. Some of their bodies showed strange distortions, which looked like fractures. Can lay on the ground and wailing helplessly.

　　 But more horses were not hit, and the Numidian cavalry pressed their bodies tightly on their horses and continued to rush forward.

　　 There was another whistle, and a round of arrow rain shot again.

　　 Those Numidian cavalrymen fell partly again, at this time they were less than a hundred meters away from the army.

　　The arrows are fired from round to round. The closer to the big array, the higher the hitting power of the crossbow and the stronger the penetrating power.

　　 A large number of cavalry fell on the way to charge. The cavalry behind faced the fallen horses and soldiers either jumped over or stepped on it directly. The scene was extremely bloody.

　　 But they finally rushed to within forty meters. The huge casualties made some cavalry unsufficient, trying to use the high speed of the horse to throw the javelin.

　　 Some of those javelins did not hit the target, but a few also hit the soldiers.

　　 Seeing this, some centurions are not calm.

　　 But in order to achieve the goal, the soldiers were ordered to continue shooting.

　　 As the distance approaches, the hit rate of the bow and crossbow is astonishingly high. Once it hits the horse, it is completely submerged in the horse, which has caused terrible damage to the cavalry.

　　 But the military guard who commanded them knew that they had to retreat, a horn sounded, and the soldiers immediately scattered and fled.

　　Many of them fled to the back of the carriage, evading the opponent's javelin with the help of the carriage.

　　 Seeing this, the cavalry couldn't help being overjoyed.
