Chapter 653 Deadlock
The breeze was gentle, and the tender green grass gradually tilted under the sunlight. The dust particles between the soil trembled slightly, and then they jumped violently. The horse's hooves that brought out the sound of wind stepped down. Countless dust particles rose into the sky, spreading in the air, and suddenly, a war horse rushed out of the dust.
Following closely behind, several riders passed by quickly.
The knight running in front of him was short-clothed leather armor, a locked iron helmet with ears covered on his head, and a short figure. The war horse under him was not tall. He kept doing dodging while galloping. The arrow flew to the front with him. In the middle, a companion met with him, skillfully putting his bow and taking arrows to the chasing enemies behind him.
Opposite the sight of the bow, the five Selius cavalry unfolded in one stroke, with the ring-headed sword, longbow, leather armor, and horse boots being their standard configuration. Li Heizi, the commander of the wolf cavalry scout, glanced at the Roman scout on the opposite side, and held the bow and lifted it up: "Distract!"
The four horses in a row pulled the reins while the mercedes were running, and suddenly turned in the mercedes. Three arrows passed directly over them, inserted them on the ground, and left behind. When the three Roman scouts turned around and drew the arrows, the four galloping wolf cavalry scouts also roared and completed a huge arc. The leader of the scout took an arrow and lifted it up to the Roman scout who had already been parallel, shouting loudly: "Come down!"
The black shadow flew out through the smoke and the sun. In the light curtain, a Roman scout had just pulled an arrow and put on the bowstring. A severe pain suddenly came from his neck. It was coldness that penetrated into the heat. He screamed, covered his neck and fell off the horse. While screaming, the other two Roman scouts quickly pulled the reins and turned, and in their low and short words, they seemed to have made some decisions.
At this time, the war horses attacked. One of the Roman scouts drew out a short sword to meet them with a fierce shout. The swords were slashed together, and Mars jumped out at the tip of the front. The moment he gritted his teeth and pushed them away, he shouted to his companion: "Go!" The wolf rider scout waved his sword again. He turned his head and directly threw the nearest Selius off the horse's back. The blade also stabbed into his body. The blood was rolling out in the rolling part, and then stood up. The wolf rider scout who was so embarrassed came from behind, hugged his neck, and grinned his mouth and exposed yellow teeth: "You fell and hurt me..." The tip of the knife stabbed violently and inserted it hard from the back. The Roman scout was twitching and trembling in the process.
"…Take the news…to the Serious cavalry…are nearby…"
The blood-stained blade suddenly pulled out, the scout trembled violently, and the bloody lips opened to the extreme, and the voice stopped abruptly. In the darker vision, the scout cavalry of the Selius people had already chased after him and shook for a while. The person behind him also turned over and left. He took two steps and raised his head and fell down.
The pursuit continued to take place in this field. Soon after, he joined his companions who came to meet and ran towards the formation. More and more enemy cavalry were chasing. After a small-scale battle, the information he carried was finally brought to the hands of the Roman emperor.
In the military formation of 100,000 people, the ecological and personal consciousness was extremely huge. Nearly 60,000 people on the front line were fighting, and their nerves were extremely tense. Suddenly, news came that the enemy's central army was gone. Whether it was true or false, it felt incredible for the side fighting, and there were also indescribable emotions. Panic and doubt would ripples in the hearts of people and then spread farther.
The last four Roman legions in the middle formation were placed, and the last four Roman legions in the back formation had the responsibility to defend the king's flag, and were also the most sensitive position. If it weren't for the strict discipline, the atmosphere would have been shaken. I waited quietly, and listened to the fighting sounds in front of me, and the scouts from outside passed back with the news, causing a slight commotion.
"...So, the main force of the Selius people did not disappear, but was wandering around us?" Severu passed the information to the surrounding legion commander, stood up and asked someone to take a map, carefully swept across the battlefield marked on it, and frowned gradually: "What a smart young commander, who uses the flexibility of the cavalry to surround us, is interesting!"
"Your Majesty, will one or two legions be taken back from the battlefield?"
"No need..." The old man waved his hand, but his words paused and raised his eyes: "... Let the Macedonian Legion retreat, there is no need to break through there." He looked at the tilted sunlight with his hands in his arms and took a deep breath: "Don't that Eastern Commander know that I still have a legion coming? Such an encirclement is as thin as sheepskin."
The sky is shining brightly, and countless war horses are surging in the vast field.
The dust spreads out of a gray tornado and goes into the sky. The dense cavalry is surging in a long formation. From time to time, several cavalry escape to assist scouts on the field, chasing and killing the enemy cavalry who are spying on them, and then returning to the rushing team. If you look at the sky from the perspective of the sky, around the huge battlefield that is twenty miles across, the roaring cavalry are connected to form a huge circle. Occasionally, enemies appear, several or even dozens of cavalry are separated into small teams, driving away or shooting the opponent.
"Chief, in this way, wouldn't the Qin dwarf be killed in our circle?" Li Ke carried a mace, dyed the enemy's blood, and rode back excitedly.
"Won't."
Gongsun Zhile stopped the shadow and Zhuma was a gentle slope with a higher terrain. He stared at the battlefield: "...After all, they still have troops coming outside, and we were a little less."
Although the use of tactics caused trouble to the other party, Gongsun Zhi knew his weaknesses in his heart and obviously could not do it at all. Considering that the other party still has reinforcements, this tactic can not only escape the danger of being trapped, but also flexibly make adjustments.
At this time, just one hour after the circular array, the temptations in Rome had begun to rise frequently. Half an hour later, the northeastern direction received news from the enemy. A Roman mercenary cavalry began to attack there. The Parthian cavalry was fighting with them, and the level was almost eight pounds and eight taels, and the gap was not torn open. At this point, there were also war reports in the northwest. However, the raided Roman cavalry encountered Bingzhou, Xiongnu, and two cavalry. More than 1,300 people were crippled in an incense stick, and they were almost chased by Lu Bu to the vicinity of their central camp.
Although he won the victory, Gongsun Zhi had no smile on his face, looked at Xiyun, which was gradually turning red, and then looked to the east: "The emperor is testing the combat power of every part of the circular array, but what's the point? Haha..."
Unfortunately, this formation is constantly moving. Even when resting occasionally, it is different from the positions where they fought before. This is also a place that makes Severu very nervous. A battle is actually more like playing chess. The commanders of both sides are the people holding chess pieces. Before dark, they even kept dropping chess pieces at night, tempting, exchanging offensive and defense, and fighting in the east and west. After this series of confrontations, the older Severu was overdrawn and almost fainted in the tent.
In the second half of the night, when dawn was almost dawn, he sent only three incomplete legions to drag the infantry of the Selius and the Kushan war elephants, and led seven legions, with a total of 80,000 people to break out to the west, and to use the advantage of numericality to break a road. The war unfolded when the sun rose into the clouds, and the infantry advanced, and hired barbarian cavalry to protect the two wings to rush to shoot arrows at the other side. However, the Han cavalry first shot a few arrows, and then pulled the Roman cavalry to start cavalry and shoot without fighting with the infantry. Then, the Xianbei and Xiong cavalry in the front and rear directions rushed to the west, and the large-scale cavalry war turned into a small-scale melee, and the advancement of the Roman infantry formation could never really attack with the Selius. No matter how it advanced, the distance between them was always maintained in a certain space.
It feels like running to the mountain and running to death.
It was almost noon, and the Roman army of nearly 80,000 people stopped to rest and have dinner. Seville was also sitting in a temporary tent covered in sweat and drinking wine to quench his thirst. Now he had basically figured out the other party's strange tactics. The circle was constantly moving. Wherever his infantry went, the other party followed. The trees and grass were pulled out and trampled by the other party. Even a bird could not see the other party's opponent. The only cavalry that could break the deadlock was no match for the other party. At the end of a day, half of the three thousand were lost. Even the nigger cavalry in Numidia was killed. Thinking of the Selius Knight who was about to rush over that day, he was covered in a fiery red cloak, golden armor, and a red war horse. Looking at the other party's eyes from a distance, he felt trembling.
"Stop, pass the order and defend on the spot!" Severu put down the cup, suddenly realized something, and finally had a smile on his face: "Then let's take the attack, I won't leave."
...
Flowing cavalry community.
The news of the Roman army stopping advance came. On the horse's back, Gongsun Zhi put down the water bag and frowned. After a while, he still breathed a deep breath: "It seems that Severus still sees my shortcomings. The next battle is a little trouble."
Before, he had received another message from the scout, and three Parthian legions were approaching in the northeast.
