Winter sunshine.

Warmth is sprinkled on the Danube River Valley. The desolate and decaying grass lies in the wilderness, yellow and yellow like withered branches and leaves. Only the roots are slightly green, indicating the tenacity of life.

The main force of the Qin army marched north and arrived at Aquiku on December 19. In addition to Spartacus, the vanguard, Li Yuan was also accompanied by a group of generals who had accompanied him on the Eastern Expedition.

Although Han Anguo, Feng Tang, Li Shang, and Zhou Ping cannot compare with senior generals such as Luo Jia and Cao Xin in terms of qualifications, their advantage is that they are young and have a stronger ability to absorb new things.

, this can be seen from the cooperation between the Qin army and foreign races such as Thracian and Germanic.

The front of the battlefield.

The battle formation of the Qin army was as black as ink, like a group of dark clouds, covering half of the sky. In the left formation of Li Yuan's central army, there were more than 20,000 cavalrymen from Yang Wengzi's tribe of the Qin army on the northern route. These cavalrymen spanned the entire Siberia.

They were the elite soldiers brought out by Han Xin. They swept through the Hanan Palace of the Huns and drove the Slavs all the way to the west. Today, these Qin cavalry who have been fighting independently for a long time finally returned to the Han Dynasty.

Under the banner of Li Yuan.

In front of the cavalry team, a veteran with white hair and beard was standing up straight, scanning the Roman military formation opposite with his bright eyes. He was Yang Wengzi, who succeeded Han Chunxin as the commander-in-chief of the Northern Route Army.

He was born in the military system, under the command of General Meng Tian, ​​and participated in the major counterattack against the Xiongnu. Yang Wengzi experienced many big battles, but none of his previous expeditions to Europe were as enjoyable as this one.

"Shuai Yang, Your Majesty has given an order. Our troops will attack the enemy's right wing. After tearing open the opening, we will join forces with the central army to attack the enemy's central army command center!" The school-level officer in charge of delivering the order galloped towards him.

Yang Wengzi reported Li Yuan's latest order.

"Gentlemen, listen to my order and attack!"

Yang Wengzi raised his sword high, and the sharp sword light pierced the Roman enemy formation.

The sudden attack of the Qin Cavalry on the left wing was like a surging torrent, which suddenly broke the silence on the battlefield. Facing the Qin Cavalry's attack, Mengger's Gothic tribe cavalry also aroused the bloody spirit of the barbarians.

, the two armies faced each other, and the cavalry collided. The shouts of people and the neighing of horses immediately resounded throughout the battlefield.

One after another, the Qin cavalry fired into the Gothic formation like crossbows. Leading these thousand-man cavalry were the first-level generals of the Qin army. These grassroots officers at the school level were the foundation for the strong combat effectiveness of the Qin army.

"kill!"

Accompanied by the shouts of the soldiers of the Qin army, flags embroidered with the surnames of "Xu", "Li", "Lin" and other captains were constantly passing forward and passing through.

The first general who penetrates the enemy's formation is the first warrior. With this goal in mind, the generals of the Qin Army killed each other with red eyes, using the slashing machetes, solid horseshoes and stirrups made by Da Qin Bing.

, as well as strict and orderly military discipline, all of which allowed the Qin cavalry to cope with this fierce battle with ease.

Captain Xu Li's cavalry team was constantly charging into the Gothic formation. His eyes flashed with the endless desire to make meritorious deeds on the battlefield. With many years of prestige and training in the frontier army, Xu Li's army

They have always been at the forefront of the Qin cavalry, but this time it was not Xu Li's men who were at the forefront, but another cavalry unit under the banner of "Li".

Li Guang.

Li Zhongxiang's direct grandson, the Li family of Longxi, who had hereditary martial arts, finally dedicated a famous general who left a great reputation in history when the Qin Dynasty was about to pacify the world.

The Qin Dynasty was strong and prosperous, but Li was the only one in the world.

After Li Yuan became the emperor of Qin, the surname Li replaced the surname Ying as the national surname and became the new pride of the Qin people. Among the generals of the Qin Dynasty, the most prominent one was Li Zhongxiang, who was already the commander-in-chief of the North African Province of the Qin Dynasty.

Under his influence, many descendants of the Li family in Longxi joined the Qin army and became the backbone of the Western Expedition.

Li Guang's amazing shot.

Under his influence, Li Guangqian performed particularly well during the charge. Their shooting skills on horseback were even better than those of the Goths.

——.

One after another, the Gothic warriors fell down with eyes wide open.

The arrows on the chest penetrated deep into the body, taking away the breath of life bit by bit. The Qin Army, a strong army trained under strict military discipline, could not be compared to the loose Goths who only relied on brute force to fight. In previous battles

Among them, the Goths had only experienced the power of the country's powerful army from the Roman army.

"Great Chief, we, we have lost more than 10,000 people. If we continue like this, I'm afraid the Gothic tribe will be doomed?"

"Great Chief, our troops are no longer able to fight anymore, so we are asking for reinforcements." Unfavorable news spread like a plague in the Gothic formation.

"How are the Qin people trained and why are they so powerful? Also, when will the reinforcements arrive from General Younis?" Mengger was frightened. In just two hours of fierce fighting, he had to fill in 20,000 men.

They are capable warriors, but even so, the right wing of the Goths was still crumbling under the fierce attack of the Qin army.

"Great Chief, the Roman army is resisting the main attack of the Qin people. General Younis said that it is temporarily unable to mobilize troops. He also said that the Qin people in the middle are attacking hard. Can we send a cavalry to charge and kill them."

Younis's reply made Monger, the Gothic chief, gradually feel regretful. This time he agreed to the Roman general Younis to unite against Qin. It seemed like a good move, but the current situation made him feel that he was not

Fell into a trap.

The battle lasted until dusk.

Mengger, who was once full of confidence, gradually couldn't hold on anymore. Faced with the choice of preserving his strength or spending all his capital, the Goths finally chose the former.

The Gothic tribe, which had been struggling for a day, shrank its front and retreated its right wing for more than ten miles. Monger's unauthorized retreat immediately triggered the passivity of the entire defense line of the Roman Gothic coalition.

——.

In Mengger's eyes, Younis, an ally, refused to save him.

But what he didn't know was that while he was suffering attacks from the Qin army's cavalry, Eunice's 30,000 Roman troops were not much better off than he was.

Scipio's military reforms had just begun.

The Romans, who were increasingly in financial difficulties, could not equip all their troops with new weapons and armor. Although the troika Scipio, Pompey, and Eunice had a common desire to resist the Qin State,

In specific affairs, favoring one over another is unavoidable.
