In the face of this sudden appearance of cavalry, Bai Feng did not dare to take it lightly, and he immediately ordered everyone around him:

"Licinius, you immediately lead your general's guard and Parthian archers to prepare for battle, and Maxi, Darnell, and Bai Sheng, the three of you are ready to wait and see with me!"

Under Bai Feng's order, Licinius immediately led his general's guard and the Parthian cavalry who had returned quickly to set up a standard battle formation to meet the enemy, forty-four heavy cavalry lined up in four rows, while the Parthian cavalry formed a circular battle formation.

The Ring Cavalry Formation was the most powerful battle formation of the Parthian archers, and based on this battle formation, the Parthian cavalry could exert their maximum combat effectiveness and quickly deliver a sharp blow to the enemy that might appear at any time.

Licinius led the cavalry to the east of Bai Feng fifty meters to line up, Bai Feng still left in place with his three retinues, the sword squire Maxi with a shield in his left hand and a sword in his right hand, and the shield squire Darnell, both of them guarding Bai Feng on the left and right.

As for Bai Sheng, who was carrying a battle axe, he was still the humanoid combat machine that Bai Feng had taken down with all his spiritual power, although he still didn't have a suitable war horse, but just by virtue of his height of more than two meters, it was enough for him to guard Bai Feng's side like a giant tower.

The smoke and dust in the distance were getting closer and closer, and when Bai Feng could clearly feel the earth trembling, Bai Feng could already see the appearance of this cavalry from afar with his naked eyes, they were indeed cavalry dressed in barbarian clothes, but the scale exceeded Bai Feng's estimate.

At least a thousand barbarian cavalry rushed in, and compared to the gray clothes of the Tasya warriors, the barbarian cavalry wore green clothing, which means that the origin of these cavalry is definitely not trivial!

The barbarians in the savage land are not the kingdoms of the civilized world, and the barbarian tribes struggling to make ends meet have neither the time nor the ability to weave clothes of colors other than gray.

The warriors of the Tasya tribe were all dressed in gray, and even the leader of the tribe, Gamilios, and his heir, Gatus, could only wear gray suits, which of course did not mean that there were no tribes in the wilderness who wore other colors.

However, the tribes that can wear clothes other than gray clothes are all relatively powerful tribes in the barbaric land, and at least the strong tribes that dominate the barbaric land will have such strength.

These things were all told to White Peak when he put on the black armor that White Peak had given him, because the warriors of the Tasya tribe had never worn real armor, nor had they used weapons as sharp as the standard daggers of Rome.

When Bai Feng handed over the gray standard weapons and equipment prepared by Rome City for the five hundred mercenary soldiers under the command of Gatus, Gatus told Bai Feng these things with emotion.

It was precisely because Bai Feng knew these things that he felt troubled when he saw the cavalry wearing the clothes of green barbarian warriors, after all, the current Roman city was still in the town stage, where could he have the ability to confront the powerful barbarian tribe head-on?

Just when Bai Feng felt helpless, this cavalry also quickly galloped two hundred meters away from Licinius's cavalry; they naturally had already noticed the existence of Licinius's cavalry, but they had no intention of stopping.

Seeing that the rampaging barbarian cavalry was about to charge in the direction where he was, Bai Feng also decisively issued an order to meet the battle, and Licinius, who had received the order, immediately led the cavalry soldiers under his command to charge.

Forty-four heavy cavalrymen with the strength of a high-ranking swordsman, under the leadership of Licinius, the great swordsman, launched a charge that was not inferior to the enemy's 1,000 cavalry, and the Parthian archers went around the flank under Licinius's orders.

The archers were not used to confront the enemy's cavalry head-on, their only weapon was the bow and arrow in their hands, and their way of attacking was to attack the enemy with bows and arrows, so it was naturally impossible for Licinius to let the Parthian archers launch a frontal attack.

After Bai Feng sat on his horse and watched Licinius lead the cavalry to attack, he also escorted eight carriages back with three retinues, and the contents of these eight carriages could not be lost here, they were the most important wealth of the city of Rome at present!

After the heavy cavalry led by Licinius and the general guard launched a charge, the green-suited barbarian cavalry on the opposite side obviously did not expect that this cavalry of dozens of people would dare to resist the charge of himself and others, but they still did not hesitate to continue their charge.

A barbarian general in green armor took the lead and galloped at the forefront of all the barbarian cavalry, holding in his hand a saber that was not commonly used by barbarians, but more like the cavalry general of the Tianlong Empire.

Licinius, on the other hand, drew the short sword at his waist and shouted the slogan of the charge, leading the heavy cavalry behind him to collide with the barbarian cavalry that was galloping.

The roar of the war horses, the shouts of the cavalry, and the clashing of weapons became the main theme on the battlefield at the beginning of the battle, but the strong combat effectiveness of the heavy cavalry under the command of Li Xini was still very amazing, and the barbarian cavalry was not an opponent at all.

With just the first charge, Licinius temporarily avoided the menacing barbarian generals, and instead moved slightly to the left and struck into the cavalry of the barbarian cavalry, while the Parthian archers began to fire from the flanks of the barbarian cavalry.

The rain of arrows fired by one hundred and eight Parthian archers at the same time was quite lethal for more than a thousand barbarian cavalry, and their main attention was on the heavy cavalry led by Licinius himself, so naturally they lacked sufficient defense.

When Licinius himself rushed into the swarming barbarian cavalry, he forgot about the heavy cavalry behind him and the Parthian archers on the periphery, and all he could see was the barbarian cavalry with their weapons held high in front of him.

The sharp short sword was wielded by Licinius, and all the barbarian cavalry that attacked Licinius were killed on the spot one by one, and he repeatedly urged the horses under his seat to rush forward more quickly.

The general guards belonging to Licinius naturally followed closely behind Licinius, even if Licinius bravely and fearlessly assaulted forward, none of the heavy cavalry of the general's guard were left behind, and their attacks overwhelmed the barbarian cavalry!
