Chapter 1272. Soldiers are taboo

The rockets slid down from the night sky like meteors and crashed into the Arab military camp under the cover of night, and tents began to ignite, and groups of Arab warriors fled from the tents in panic, like ants on a hot pot. One? Reading 1?k?a?n?s?hu

The previous Arab Empire was too powerful, too terrible, to conquer Tianzhu, Li Jie only took five or six years, conquered here, but Damin fought for more than ten years with the national fortune, and even once Li Jie himself almost finished playing, in order to prevent its resurgence, Damin tore the spiritual connection that all Arabs can unite together.

But now, it is a bit overkill, it has lost the spiritual support of unity, there is no strong leader, and the chiefs of the various tribes are not convinced by anyone, and when they are suddenly attacked, none of them jump out to pick up the beams, so that the entire light cavalry camp is a mess of flies.

In huge historical events, there are always amazing coincidental factors, just like today, if it weren't for Fang Yiai's strategic breakthrough in catching up with the siege army, he would not have been so anxiously hit to the northern defense line, if Fang Yiai couldn't do it, Jiao Guerrilla would not have transferred back all the raiding cavalry that went out to play an early warning role, and if there was half an hour of warning time, the fierce and warlike Arabs would not be so flustered.

However, history has no ifs.

Rockets from nowhere set the tents on fire, shot the horses, and groups of Arabs who ran around were shot to death on the ground one by one, and hundreds of brave Arabs rushed out with a drunken spirit to teach the bastards who dared to sneak attack a lesson, but it didn't take long for the cavalry that suddenly appeared in the dark night to shuttle back and forth like ghosts, and almost every Arab who rushed out survived, and the limbs were broken, and the death was extremely terrifying.

People's courage really comes with faith and culture, under the green banner of Islam ~ Lan unity, the Arabs from the desert can sacrifice their lives and forget their deaths for the paradise they yearn for, and go forward one after another, but now they are fighting for Damin, for money, for robbery, and Damin has not instilled the spirit of fighting for the death in their bodies, and in less than half an hour, under this strange attack, the Arab light cavalry actually collapsed!

More than 50,000 people, even their horses and camels, abandoned all their tent supplies, half on horse, half on foot, and retreated like headless flies to the sea. ・1?k?a book nshu

However, the second coincidence of history jumped out again, the barracks of the ten Roman legions were just behind the Arab camp, and Fang Yiai's mood was very unhappy!

Suddenly, with a shout, with the sound of whining horns, the kite-shaped shields of the Roman legions lined up a huge human wall on the retreating road, blocking the panicked and retreating Arabs.

"Before the war, do you want to abandon the army and flee?"

Jiao Guerrilla was already in his forties at this time, with a short figure, and at first glance he did not have a positive image of the Min army, nor did he have much real talent and learning.

The official level crushed people to death, and seeing that his bereaved face was gloomy, although he fell and grinned, Jiao Guerrilla still had to cry and hold out an ugly smile on his face.

"General Fang Mingjian, the last general has the order of Lord Li Ji, the general of the march of the Roman Road, once he can't resist it, he will immediately retreat backwards, and be sure to report to Lord Li Ji as soon as possible about the sudden incident in the north!"

If you don't mention Li Ji, it's okay, the more you think about it, the more angry you become, Fang Yiai slapped him without thinking about it, and immediately scolded angrily: "Is there such a reason for you to escape?" Someone, arrest this coward, and after the general breaks the enemy, he will be handed over to Li Bingbu to deal with it personally! ”

Fang Yiai slapped him so hard, and when he finished fighting, Jiao Guerrilla had already taken in more air and had less breath, and he was directly dragged down by the sergeant like a dead dog, Fang Yiai didn't care about him, reached out and picked up the Mo knife that belonged to him and roared to lead his subordinates, and strode forward to meet him. 1

Driven by the five Roman legions, some of the Arabs fled to the flat, dry valley to the west, while the rest rushed to the raiders again in a panic, but after a few rounds of fighting, the more than 10,000 Arab cavalry scattered in small tribes like a goddess scattered flowers, and scattered in all directions.

Taking advantage of the chaos, a Jiao guerrilla pro-soldier tried to run south again, but a few Roman soldiers who were staring at him had already smiled and said that he had taken it, and at the first time, after all, not a single soldier went south to convey the news of the attack.

In the dark night, the best response to an attack is to stick to the camp and wait for dawn, because the enemy is prepared, it is likely to set up an ambush outside the camp, and in the dark light, no matter how clever the commander is, he will not be able to effectively convey the order, and it is easy to be defeated if he rushes out.

Finally gathered about 5,000 Arab tribe light cavalry most closely related to Damin, Fang Yiai also planned to do this at the beginning, stick to the camp, and settle accounts with this group of jumping clowns tomorrow tomorrow, but when it really started, Fang Yiai was embarrassed, his camp could not be guarded at all, and half of the urine dug in the trench could be filled, and the deer village was even less pitiful, and the cavalry that was invaded in the dark night was hit and opened.

About five or six hundred cavalry broke into the camp of the Third Legion, and the first thing they saw was that rockets were being fired everywhere, and the tents of the Roman infantry, the forage and baggage, were immediately burned into a raging fire, and many Roman soldiers were also cut down to the ground by the fierce charging strange cavalry.

Without waiting for Fang Yiai's attention to shift to the Third Legion, a large army rushed out of the right side of the Seventh Legion, which happened to enter the gap between the second and third rows of the Seventh Legion that had been assembled, and the scimitar slashed left and right ferociously, and in the blink of an eye, dozens of legion infantry died.

Seeing this scene, Fang Yiai's lungs almost exploded, and he wanted to tear up the officers who were responsible for building the camp and digging trenches on the spot, but the matter had come to this, and his temper was useless.

The camp is not defensible at all like a sieve, the surroundings of this place are quite flat, more than two hundred meters in front of it is a large forest, where is the hiding place of the enemy attacking the camp, and now there are a large number of rockets shot out from the periphery of the forest, if you attack rashly, the black light is full of danger.

To the east, however, there was a low hill with a steep back, and the vegetation on the hillside had been largely cut down by the Arab army, making it an excellent place for defense.

If you retreat to the mountains now, with the help of the mountain and the defense of bows and arrows, it is basically no problem to hold out until dawn, but then the baggage and supplies carried will basically be plundered by the enemy, and most importantly, the road to Constantinople will be opened, and the left flank of the army will be exposed to the attack of this unknown group of cavalry.

Just after being sent by Li Ji to defend in the north, there was such a big mistake, what face did Fang Yiai have to go back to see him? After thinking about it for a moment, Fang Yiai made the second major decision of the night!

"Pass the order of the general, blow the battle trumpet, beat the drums, and the 1st to 6th legions will be unfolded and go to battle! Seven to ten legions, defend on the spot, and guard the rear of the army! ”

The bronze trumpets of the Romans sounded one after another, the rumbling war drums also sounded rapidly, the Roman phalanx of more than 30,000 people in six legions opened a huge rectangle, and the wall pushed forward, and the centurion team of about 80 people flexibly adjusted the direction of the phalanx, avoiding the burning tent forage in those Arab camps.

The rockets continued to rain down, most of them were blocked by large kite-shaped shields, although some of the rockets leaked and killed some of the phalanx infantry, but the void was immediately filled by the latecomers, and the centurion kept shouting behind his back with a short sword, and those who dared to retreat could not escape his sword.

It seems that Fang Yiai didn't expect to dare to attack in such a dark light, and with a shout, the dozen or so phalanxes in the front row broke away from the formation and rushed into the position where the sneak attackers shot rockets in the night, the bushes trembled, the sound of fighting and the shouts of dying spread throughout the night sky, and after less than a moment of fighting, a group of barbarians wearing homespun animal skin clothes and gray heads dragged bows and arrows, and retreated to the edge of the forest in embarrassment.

At the edge of the forest is a V-shaped gentle slope, which is one of the important trade routes leading to the Rhine, which has been trampled gently by caravans for thousands of years.

If you win this battle and defeat the last main force of the Roman Empire in the Thracian Military Region, it is not too big or too small to be considered a meritorious achievement, and after you go back, you will not say that you will explain to the King of Min, at least you can explain it to your wife! Thinking that Gao Yang pouted and pouted to the side of the little face, his heart was ruthless, Fang Yiai personally ran to the front of the whole army with a Mo knife.

"Follow the general, attack, eliminate these forced sneak attackers, after the war, Damin will award land to the meritorious ones, win this battle, you will all be landlords!"

This sentence immediately aroused the enthusiasm of all the Roman legions, ancient Roman military law, after thirty years of service in the legion, can retire to receive the land, Rao is so, the military is like a cloud, it can be seen that the Romans also have a kind of fanaticism for the land, can have their own estate, heard the roar of the six Roman legions of love almost everyone forged ahead, rushed to the V-shaped exit.

The Roman legions, advancing in a line, were inevitably squashed and thrown into disarray.

Rushing out of the V-shape with excitement, he was about to drink and fight, but Fang Yuai's face turned lead gray at that moment.

This night, his handling was decent, but there was only one taboo that he had committed to the taboo of soldiers, and he didn't know who he was!

Then the dim starlight, on the avenue on both sides of the exit, countless forest cavalry were waiting quietly on their horses, in the dimness of the night, as if the swaying trees had become a part of them, as the Roman legions that followed the love of the house stopped in shock, the cavalry lurking in the forest suddenly burst out of the howl like a beast, and the landslide-like charge roared towards the Roman legions of Damin, which had become chaotic............
