"If Childe goes on like this, sooner or later we will be bitten by the Roman pursuers, why don't we go south, now that our team is small, we can completely avoid them." Meng Yu looked at the scorching sun overhead, and his lips were dry.

To be honest, he had been in Dulakim for so many days, and his sleep was severely deprived, and his body was a little weak.

Xu Ding said: "No! We won't be able to escape the Balkans to the south, and I'm going to take Thessaloniki, and Alexandria has the secret weapon I've prepared, how can I waste it like this. ”

"But Childe, this is not the way, the enemy is strong and I am weak, and it is the best policy to avoid the real and attack the false, this is the art of war you said." Meng Yu persuaded again.

Xu Dingdao: "You kid should have a good rest of yours, you don't have to worry about it, I have my own way to deal with the pursuers behind." ”

Xu Ding patted Meng Yu on the shoulder, let the rested army continue to set off, Meng Yu got on the horse, and then half covered his sleep while walking to recover his strength.

After the soldiers were gone, Xu Dingcai said to his subordinates: "The Romans want to chase after them, but they want to let the cavalry catch up first to find out the Qing situation, so from now on we will take turns to shoot and kill the cavalry, remember that the horses can't be injured, and people don't need to live." ”

"It's the commander!" The crowd burst into laughter.

Now that they have the saddle and the pedal and the opponent's cavalry, they can be completely wronged.

Of course, the premise is that there is no such pervert as the commander Alexander Qin in the other side's cavalry.

Xu Ding divided the cavalry into three teams, and the three teams took turns to stare back for four hours, that is, eight hours.

If you find that the other party's cavalry spies are chasing you, you will kill them as soon as possible.

Soon, the cavalry encountered several waves of pursuing incoming teams.

However, these squads were killed by the rebel cavalry, which outnumbered them by several times.

There was an attempt to put up a frontal resistance, but unfortunately it was no match for the cavalry of the rebel army.

Soon the pursuing Roman army lost more than 100 horsemen, which brought more than 100 good horses to Xu Ding's side.

They were pursued by a subsidiary legion, also composed of infantry.

As mentioned earlier, there were very few cavalry regiments in the Roman army, and now the entire empire had only one standing army of cavalry regiments.

There are also two subordinate legions.

The standing cavalry corps was stationed in the city of Rome, and it was rare to be able to send it out to pursue Xu Ding and others last time.

Because the new emperor was going to war in the west, the only standing cavalry regiment was also transferred.

After all, it would be troublesome for them to cross the sea, and it was impossible for Severus to give up the only standing cavalry regiment to the Senate to command.

Therefore, there was no cavalry corps to chase Xu Ding and others, and all those who crossed the sea were the Shangbing infantry corps.

Vlako was the commander of this subordinate legion, and he frowned after listening to his men's report.

The four waves of cavalry sent out were not heard from.

That's not good.

This bad news not only embarrassed him, but the other seven cavalry squads below were also silent, and none of them dared to stand up and say that I would go and see it.

can become a cavalryman, it is the rich master of the family, who TM will really want to play with his life.

Glancing at the seven cavalry captains, Vlako said decisively: "Forget it, you don't need to send cavalry to investigate, just chase directly, the other side only has five or six hundred remnants of the defeated general, even if there are hundreds of horsemen, if they meet head-on, I can completely blow them up." ”

Infantry against cavalry, cavalry will be defeated.

This is the most real outcome of the battle in the West at the moment.

Mature infantry phalanx, and bad news for the light cavalry.

So the captain of the Vlako regiment was quite confident.

Although the cavalry of the rebel army had twice trampled the large camps of the other two legions last night, killing and wounding thousands of people, and was notorious for the murder, in his opinion, the other side had only taken advantage of the night attack, and it was the incompetence of the other two legions.

Half an hour later, suddenly dozens of riders rushed on the avenue ahead.

The stomping horses stepped on the hard stones, and when they found a screeching sound, Vlako's front team hurriedly stopped, and when they saw that the opposing cavalry continued to rush without slowing down, they hurriedly ordered their men to stand shields.

As a result, the opponent rushed halfway and suddenly threw out the javelins, and then one by one the javelins flew into the crowd of the front team under the force of inertia.

The soldier who was not protected by a shield was suddenly pierced through his body.

Transmissive javelins, the cavalry did not leave, but silently picked up their swords and was there.

They didn't speak, they didn't go, they didn't attack.

The front team didn't know what the rebel cavalry meant for a while, so they also stopped in place, all of them took shields, and they also estimated the posture of winter and summer protection, and did not step forward or speak.

"Fool, let me move on." Seeing that the team had stopped, Vlako immediately gave an order.

The front team had to advance slowly, and the cavalry on the opposite side also turned around and walked slowly, but they all turned around, always keeping an eye on the Roman army.

The two armies were hostile to each other and moved slowly.

The speed can be said to be so slow that it is only slightly stronger than a turtle climbing.

After spending a lot of time on tea, Flaco ordered a little impatiently: "Take a step faster, is it possible that my army has so many people, are you still afraid that he will not be able to ride dozens of horses?" ”

Someone proposed: "Commander, why don't you send cavalry, the other side only has a few dozen people, and we still have more than 200 horsemen, are you afraid that you won't be able to win the other party if you go together?" ”

The infantry pursues the cavalry, which is impossible to catch up with, and if you want to kick away these annoying rebel cavalry, you can only use your own cavalry.

Flako thought about it for a while, so he summoned the seven cavalry squad leaders and said: "You have also seen that the rebel cavalry is too arrogant, so it is time to block in front of our army, now is the time to give full play to your value, you seven squads rush over together, kill the rebel cavalry for me, don't shirk, you have more than 200 cavalry, and the other party is only about 30 cavalry, is it possible that you are so afraid." ”

The seven cavalry squad captains were right to think about it, they had two hundred and fourteen people, and they couldn't beat the other party's thirty horsemen?

It was also a joke to spread it, so he received the order.

All 214 cavalry sorted, crossed the official road vacated by their own infantry, and then roared and slaughtered.

The thirty horsemen hurried away, and the Roman cavalry shouted for joy, and then did not stop the pursuit, and soon pursued them out of five miles.

At this time, a cavalry of one hundred and ten men suddenly came out of a fork in the path.

The cavalry rushed out and slammed their weapons into the Roman cavalry.

The cavalry of the Romans hurriedly parried and engaged.

"Qiang Qiang...... Counting"

Then puff puff, a hundred or so Roman cavalry fell off their horses.

A head-to-head confrontation turned out to be a complete defeat.

The Roman cavalry was so frightened that they turned around and ran.

Xu Ding pursued with more than 100 horsemen, and successively slashed and killed dozens of horsemen.

chased out two miles, Xu Ding stopped at this time, and then ordered the soldiers to clean up the battlefield and lead the war horses away.

At the same time, the thirty horsemen were left in place and waited for the Roman army to come, and continued to maintain the same operation as the thirty horsemen just now.

Two hundred and fourteen rode out, only chased for a short time, and when they came back, there were only seventy or eighty horsemen left.

Vlacona called a heartache.

And the riders who escaped were even more frightened and frightened.

"Report! Legion Commander, the enemy cavalry is here again! ”

Flako looked ahead, but no, thirty more rebels stood in his way.

Their own infantry moved forward, and they moved forward, controlled at the same speed.

This was a provocation to the entire legion, and at the same time a constraint.

Although it did not slow down the advance of the infantry, it felt like it was delayed.

Flaco couldn't help but be a little upset, and ordered the army to run forward.

Since the other party doesn't want to fight, but just wants to delay time, then he will march in a hurry to see who can survive whom.

More than 200 war horses were captured by Xu Ding, and with these horses, the speed of the team was much faster.

"Report! Commander, the enemy is beginning to march in a hurry, and our cavalry cannot slow down its march in a pinch! "Suddenly, a rider came back to give a report.

Xu Ding said: "It's okay, when I go to meet the other party, march in a hurry, they can't last long, and set up obstacles along the way as planned." ”

After explaining to the others, Xu Ding took the thirty horsemen to take over the task of the thirty horsemen just now.

Seeing that after the rapid march, the thirty horsemen who were in front of him suddenly disappeared, Vlaco was happy.

But soon someone reported that the enemy cavalry was coming again.

And under the banner of Alexander Qin.

The front team abruptly stopped moving forward and asked for new instructions.

"Also instructed a fart, continue to push me forward, Alexander Qin only brought thirty horses, what is there to be afraid of, just rush me!" Vlako knew what his men were afraid of.

Didn't you just hear that Alexander Qin was a man of great strength and bravery, invincible?

One by one, they just cowered like this, it was really unusual.

The former captain who received the new order had no choice but to bite the bullet and say: "Go ahead!" ”

Immediately the whole line was lined up on the avenue, and the Roman soldiers who were full of roads began to move again.

However, it was not a rapid march, but a slow shield to cover himself and began to move.

He shouted a trumpet as he moved forward.

Xu Ding rode on a horse, holding a javelin in one hand and waited until the opponent's army advanced to about 100 meters, when he suddenly raised his right arm backwards, and then threw it forward.

The javelin snapped through the air, in a beautiful arc.

Plunged into the front ranks of the Roman army.

"Ahh

With a scream, a Roman soldier was stabbed in the shoulder with a javelin, the sharp conical head of the javelin piercing the flesh and shattering his shoulder blades.

The Roman soldier fell backwards, howling in pain.

Seeing this, the whole front team stopped moving forward, and then tilted their shields inwards closer to each other.

For fear of being injured in a shot at a bidding gun.

However, Xu Ding did not throw, but walked forward with thirty horsemen for more than 100 meters, took a javelin from the other riders, and waited there for the Roman army to come up.

"Forward! Keep going! Pull the wounded soldiers to the back. ”

One of the captains in front instructed his subordinates, and several soldiers carried the javelin-ridden soldier to the back.

"Whew!"

With a "bang", the javelin pierced into the shield, but the huge impact force directly knocked the soldier down, and then the javelin continued to penetrate deep into the shield, most of which did not enter the inside of the shield, with the tip of lead iron, directly stabbing the soldier.

Although it was not as heavy as the one just now, he temporarily lost the strength to fight.

Another one was carried down.

The Roman army could only bite the bullet, grit its teeth and continue to advance.

In this way, it was promised to shoot javelins at a fixed point in front, and the Roman army cautiously moved forward with shields.

Then one at a time, he was shot wounded, and then he was carried to the back.

Not only did the entire Roman pursuit army slow down, but its morale was also low, and there was a hint of fear.

God-like terrible opponent, Alexander Qin is the devil?

Won't he rest? Will his power run out in seconds?

When it was a head like this, the whole Roman legion was all tightened and tightened.

Even the corps commander was no exception.

Come to think of it, he didn't have any good way to break the deadlock.

The other party was alone, and it was enough to shock his legion on the avenue.

Finally, the sunset drifted away, and the curtain turned to ashes, and the sky and the earth were the same color.

Xu Ding disappeared on the endless avenue with thirty horses.

The Roman army breathed a sigh of relief.

After statistics, the infantry suffered casualties in two detachments during the day, not counting the cavalry.

Very frightening values.

After setting up camp, Flako did not dare to be careless, and sent more than a dozen groups of patrols to patrol the neighborhood at night.

Last night's lesson was too profound, and he didn't want to suffer a loss like the other two legions, and be beaten in vain.

After a night of silence, I thought that Alexander Qin would attack the camp with the rebel cavalry, but the night was peaceful, but Vlako was overly nervous, and he and his soldiers did not sleep well.

"I can't be so passive today, as soon as Alexander Qin throws a javelin, he will speed me up and rush forward, rush to the punch at any cost, and then give me a counterattack, we must fight back, we can't let Alexander Qin bully us all the time." Flaco gave a death order to all the captains of the group at Kaibaxin.

One by one, the captain's face was bitter, and he silently prayed that the method of the corps commander would work.

Sure enough, Xu Ding soon appeared on the avenue where they were moving forward with thirty horsemen.

Still holding a javelin in his hand.

The captain who was at the front of the line today was short of breath, and the soldiers below were also tense in their bodies and nerves.

All of them held a pause while secretly aiming at the javelin in Xu Ding's hand, silently hoping that this unlucky ghost would not be themselves.

The javelin in Xu Ding's hand was projected, and the captain behind him finally couldn't help but roar: "Forward!" Advance! Advance! ”

Advancing three times in a row, it is like a Cui life talisman.

The soldiers of this brigade moved forward violently, one by one raised their calves, and sprinted with steps.

Today we must rush over and rush in front of Alexander Qin, and we must not let him do whatever he wants.

However, they changed their tactics, and Xu Ding's side also changed their playing style.

He is not the kind of person who does not change.

This time he did not turn around and left, and then took his bow and wound it, and even the thirty horsemen behind him took out their bows and arrows.

Although they are not professional archers, this kind of combat does not require precision, as long as they can shoot.

Mounted archery was originally the most important subject that cavalrymen would learn in the future.

In the past, there was no saddle and pedals, and riding and shooting was a difficult maneuver, but now it has become easier.

Besides, it is still a mounted archery in sports, if you can't even do this, Xu Ding doesn't mind substitution.

It is said that Xu Ding took the bow and put the arrow, his eyes were focused, and he let go of an arrow, and then shot a beautiful nine consecutive shots, and an arrow shot out, shooting down the Roman soldiers who were sprinting one by one.

The Roman army in the charge was not as tight as it used to be, and they themselves did not have such a strong sense of protection.

After all, giving up defense is all about speed.

"Puff ......"

More than a dozen people fell from the arrows, and the charging soldiers behind them collided together and fell down one after another.

"Let's go!" After shooting ten arrows, Xu Ding did not hesitate, turned around and left, and the same was true for the thirty horsemen, not entangled with the Roman army.

But they ran a mile away, then stopped, moved their arms, and shook their bows again, waiting for the Roman army to come up.

"Report to the Legion Commander, we have failed again!"

Vlako waved his hand to indicate that he understood, and he could see clearly the position of the Chinese army.

I have to admire Xu Ding, he can still play like this, which is really an eye-opener for him.

Regardless of whether he is moving or static, the other party is eaten to death.

The more you toss, the more casualties.

There are more than a dozen people at a time, and hundreds of people come dozens of times. One detachment was reimbursed.

It's a long road, and if you continue to fight like this, it is estimated that the entire legion will be tossed out.

The team stopped for a while, thought about it, and finally Flako raised his head sharply and said very unwillingly: "Change the forward brigade to a hundred-man team, and slowly move forward with an awl formation."

At the same time, give me two shields to form one, nail them together, strengthen the defense, don't be in a hurry, let me move forward slowly, just walk! ”

Everyone looked at each other, knowing that this was the Legion Commander's abandonment of the idea of biting the remnants of the enemy.

However, when they thought of the enemy horses who came and went like the wind and could fight at will on their horses, they also seemed to understand.

The enemy cavalry is too weird, and the combat power is too strong.

Although the enemy cavalry was small in number, it was too difficult.

It is very difficult to bite and destroy, and it is better to be safe than to let the unscrupulous attack on him hurt people.

After giving the order, Vlako called one of his henchmen and told him to go back and report everything.

I hope that what I see and think will be helpful to those in power in the city of Rome.

This particular enemy cavalry may be the great enemy of their Roman army in the future, and it needs to be paid attention to.

Anyone who can be the commander of the legion is not stupid, once he gives up arrogance and contempt for the enemy, he is also an extremely terrifying existence.

Given Flaco's strategy, Xu Ding knew it would be difficult to fight, and it was in line with his plan.

The speed of the pursuers was slower than the speed of their march, so what was there to toss, so thirty horsemen were changed every half hour, and in this way they took turns to contain the pursuers.

There was no fighting on the rest of the road, and the two armies were uneventful.

However, a day and a half later, the Roman army lost the shadow of the rebels.

Because there are forks in front of them, one to the north leads into the northern mountains to the pass, and the other goes south to the plains and the coastal capitals.

Vlako didn't know which way Xu Ding and the other rebels were going............

By the time Xu Ding returned to Alexandria, Villatuli and Montu had gone north with most of the rebel army to find their way out.

All that was left in the city was a shop shop and a thousand spearmen in his hand.

"Commander, I'm sorry that Villatuli and Montoo have gone north with their army, and I have failed to stop you and disappointed you." When he saw Xu Ding, his expression was a little depressed.

Xu Ding patted him on the shoulder and said, "It's not your fault, I should be gratified, at least you didn't go with you, you are willing to stay and wait for me, it's really surprising to me." ”

Hearing this, he felt better, and hurriedly said: "The commander promised me to take me back to our Slavs' hometown, and now that the promise has not been fulfilled, how can I be willing to leave." ”

"You can go back to hemp yourself." Xu Ding said with a smile.

Cargo Bi said seriously: "Except for the commander, I don't know who can take me back, and I don't have this ability myself." ”

"That only means that you are too weak, I hope you can fight back by yourself, like that...... I just thought it was interesting. Xu Ding smashed a punch into the chest, curled the corners of his mouth and said, "I! Alexander Qin doesn't need a weak person, I'm too weak I won't take you to play. ”

"Don't worry, commander, I will learn to become stronger." Compare with the loyalty.

Xu Ding said: "This is almost the same, my dear brother, congratulations on successfully stepping on our wrecked ship again." ”

Shopping around for nothing really surprised Xu Ding, and it was also a big gain.

As for the thousand spearmen, and Alexandria still in his hands, these ten are a blessing in misfortune.

"That's right! Blacksmith and carpenter, these two guys didn't loot them all for me! "Xu Ding knew that if Villatuoli and Mengdu went north, they would inevitably take away most of the food, weapons and so on.

The harvest of the last battle is now gone to the two of them.

Goubi said indignantly: "Originally, they also wanted to take them all, but I scolded them, they took away the food, weapons and people, and even the craftsmen didn't leave us a little, it would be too much, so they left us a third." ”

"Yes, there's still a third of it, so are you doing everything I told me to build before I leave?" Xu Ding asked again.

Bambi replied: "The carpenter side is still rushing to make it, and the blacksmith side is too lacking, so I let them build weapons and arrow clusters." ”

Xu Ding stopped his pace, turned his head and said: "Let the blacksmith stop beating those things, and continue to rush to me the things I confessed, those are my treasures, and they can't be stopped." ”

Shop around didn't know what Xu Ding's got was that thing, no one understood anyway, but he still replied yes, and was about to go down, when Xu Ding said again: "Just let someone give the order, you don't have to go, by the way, by the way, I will send someone to tell Villatuoli and Mengdu, just say...... Let's just say that I died in Durakium, and let them carry the banner of our rebel army, and be sure not to be wiped out by the Romans. ”

"Ahh This...... What does this mean, Commander? The goods were confused, and Meng Yu on the side was also puzzled.

It's obviously good, why do you say that you died in battle.

What does it mean to let the two bastards, Villatuli and Montoo, carry the banner of the rebel army and let them grow stronger.

"Don't worry about it, just send someone." Xu Ding continued to walk into the hall, and when he saw that the two of them still didn't understand, he explained:

"It's very simple, now we have few people, and there are many of them, but the gap is not very big, if they know that I died in battle, and carry the banner of anti-Rome, they will inevitably recruit a wide range of people.

And the water will be as carefully selected as I used to, and you think it won't be long before they can pull up an army of tens of thousands.

Tens of thousands, you say, if the Romans had known, who would they have chased? ”
