Julian had naturally heard of the chariot troops, and had also heard of the power of the chariot troops, at this time, seeing the thousands of chariot troops of the Jin army roaring towards him, he felt a little bad in his heart, but in order to maintain his image as an emperor, he still had to pretend to be quite indifferent in order to establish his tall image.

"Your Majesty the Emperor, if our army's tortoiseshell formation is broken by the Jin army's chariots, how should we deal with it?" Admiral Orleans asked softly.

Julian looked at Orleans very dissatisfied, and accused: "General Orleans, you should consider whether the Jin army can break through our army's formation, how we can defeat the Jin army." ”

When Orleans heard this, he took a step back.

The Jin army's chariot troops were getting closer and closer, and they were less than thirty steps away from the Roman tortoiseshell array, and the powerful impact made the Roman soldiers in the tortoiseshell formation feel a strong sense of trembling, and they couldn't help but slowly retreat back.

"Bidding guns." The Roman general shouted.

"Whoosh...... The Roman soldiers heard the order, and threw the javelins in their hands in a panic, then closed their eyes and prayed that the javelins could block the attack of the Jin army's chariot troops.

However, it is a pity that the javelins projected by the Roman soldiers did not cause much damage to the Jin army chariot troops, only a small number of Jin army chariots were forced to stop, and the rest of the chariots still rushed forward, and easily knocked over the horses, tore open the Roman tortoiseshell formation, and galloped directly into the interior of the Roman tortoiseshell formation, crushing many Roman soldiers to death.

Seeing that the chariot troops successfully broke through the Roman tortoiseshell formation and shattered the Roman tortoiseshell formation, Hua'an and the Jin soldiers under his command were greatly excited and cheered happily.

"Your Majesty, the chariot troops have lived up to expectations and have successfully broken through the Roman tortoiseshell formation." A Jin army general said happily.

"Your Majesty, the main army is ready, let's press it together! Annihilate the Roman army in one fell swoop. Song Cheng shouted for his life.

Hua An nodded and ordered: "The iron rope cavalry is outflanked on both wings, and the rest of the main cavalry will be killed together, and the Roman army will be severely damaged." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." The generals of the Jin army shouted the order and immediately went to carry it out.

This time to attack the Roman army, only the chariot troops and the iron rope cavalry were the main force of the Jin army, and the rest of the large number of soldiers and horses were captured Persian and Tianzhu soldiers and horses, and Hua'an did this in order to consume as much as possible the Persian and Tianzhu soldiers and horses, so that the real Jin army could be preserved.

After receiving the military order to "kill the ......", the main force of the Jin army immediately attacked and launched a general attack on the Roman army.

The huge cavalry corps of the Jin army slaughtered mightily, and the war horses hit the ground, causing a loud rumbling sound, which made the Roman army that had already broken through the formation nervous.

All the generals under Julian's command looked at Julian, and at this time, Julian was the backbone of their hearts, and they longed for Julian to come up with a strategy to deal with it.

However, Julian was obviously not as powerful as they thought, and in the face of the sharp attack of the Jin army, Julian did not have a good way, at this moment, he looked at the cavalry of the Jin army that was killing on a large scale, and his eyes were full of fear.

Julian was thinking in his heart, no wonder the Jin army could break through all the way and defeat Persia and Tianzhu one after another, it turned out that the strength of the Jin army was far beyond his imagination.

"Order the whole army to attack immediately and fight the Jin army, Marcellus, your cavalry attack from the flanks." Julian ordered in a panic.

"Yes, Your Majesty the Emperor." The Roman generals had no choice but to shout their orders and immediately go to carry them out.

At this moment, the Jin army has occupied an absolute advantage, even if the Roman legion fights with all its might, it cannot block the attack of the Jin army, which will make them lose faster, however, the Roman army is an infantry-based army after all, for this reason, even if it is at a disadvantage, it cannot be easily retreated, otherwise, the cavalry can also retreat to Constantinople, but the main infantry is not so lucky, it is very likely to be wiped out, so no matter how huge the loss, Julian will not order a retreat, Only by resisting the attack of the Jin army with all their strength can it be possible to gain a glimmer of life.

The Roman army mustered up the courage and launched a fierce battle with the attacking Jin army, the Jin army occupied the advantage of morale, but the main strength of the Jin army was the surrendered Persian army and the Tianzhu army, for this reason, the individual combat ability and will were not as good as the Roman army, for this reason, although the Jin army seemed to occupy a great advantage, the Roman army was still able to barely block the attack of the Jin army, so that the battle showed a stalemate.

Soon, the battle between the two sides entered the most tragic white-edged stage, the soldiers on both sides were extremely seriously injured, of course, most of the Jin army lost prisoners and horses, and the Roman legions lost Roman soldiers, as the fighting continued, it was more and more beneficial to the Jin army.

"Your Majesty, this Julian is really still more powerful than Constantius II, at the beginning, Constantius II saw that the Roman army was at a disadvantage, so he immediately ordered a retreat, which eventually led to their main army being annihilated by our army, and this time, Julian actually ordered to resist with all his strength when facing a difficult situation, so that our army had to work harder to defeat them." Wang San walked to Hua An's side and whispered.

Hua An nodded lightly, and said: "What you said has some truth, however, this time the situation is obviously not as sinister as the last time, last time, our army's fire bull array caused a loss of nearly 10,000 horses to the Roman army, and this time there is no such effect, so, this time the advantage of our army is not as obvious as the last time, however, this Julian is really very powerful, and he has no intention of retreating, if it continues like this, the loss of our army will not be small, this is really tricky!" ”

Obviously, Hua'an did not want to lose both sides with the Roman army, so that the Jin army would inevitably suffer heavy losses, and then it would not be able to rule the vast area of Anxi well.

"Your Majesty, our army has suffered a lot of losses, and the losses of the Roman army will be even greater, no matter what, our army will make a sure profit, besides, the soldiers and horses attacking head-on are mainly Persians and Tianzhu people, and the main losses of our army will not be very large." Song Cheng said.

Hua An pondered for a moment, and said: "Closely monitor every move on the battlefield, and report the approximate casualties of both sides to this king at any time." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." The ministry will respond to the road.

Obviously, Hua'an wanted to keep abreast of the situation on the battlefield and would truce when the casualties on both sides reached a certain number, so as to minimize the losses of both sides and serve the future rule of Rome by the Protectorate of Anxi.

In the rear of the Roman camp, the Roman Emperor Julian looked at the soldiers and horses under his command who were fighting very worriedly, this time the eastward crusade, he originally had great confidence, but now after fighting with the Jin army, he found that he was too arrogant, the strength of the Jin army was far stronger than he imagined, although there were many Persian and Tianzhu surrendered soldiers and horses in the Jin army, but it still did not weaken the strength of the Jin army.

"Your Majesty the Emperor, the Jin army has a clear advantage, especially the cavalry on both sides, using iron cables to connect the war horses together, the power is very powerful, if the confrontation continues, our army may be defeated." Severus said calmly.

Julian nodded lightly and said: "It's me who is too light on the enemy, I didn't expect the Jin army's combat strength to be so strong, however, most of us are infantry, if we evacuate, we will definitely be annihilated by the Jin army, so, no matter what, we can't retreat, insist, only by insisting can we have hope." ”

"Your Majesty the Emperor, do we still have reinforcements?" A glimmer of hope flashed in Orleans' eyes.

Julian shook his head slightly, and said, "We don't have reinforcements, not one, but we have no better way than to persevere." ”

When the Roman generals heard this, they all nodded in approval, and it was obvious that they had no better way than to continue to persevere.

At the back of the Jin army's formation, Hua An looked at a subordinate general and asked softly, "What about the casualties on both sides of the enemy?" ”

The general of the Jin army immediately reported: "Back to the king, our army has 30,000 or 40,000 casualties, and the Roman army should have more than 50,000 casualties. ”

Hua An nodded lightly, looked at several generals, and said softly: "It's almost over, stop fighting, let the soldiers retreat three miles, and disengage from the Roman army." ”

Wang San was shocked when he heard this, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, what if our army retreats rashly and the Roman army launches a pursuit, which will cause our army to disperse, and now that our army has a great advantage, the casualties are much less than that of the Roman army, why retreat?" ”

Obviously, Wang San was very puzzled, he felt that since the Jin army had the advantage, he should teach the Roman army a hard lesson and inflict heavy losses on Julian's troops, instead of taking the initiative to retreat.

Hua An smiled and said: "Our army is all cavalry, but most of the Roman army is infantry, how can the infantry outrun the cavalry, so don't worry that the Roman army will launch a pursuit, in addition, this king doesn't want to spend it with Julian, so it won't be of much benefit to both sides, don't forget, the Germanic tribes are about to attack Rome in the west, and when the time comes, Julian will inevitably lead the army to fight the Germans, so that the Roman army and the Germanic army can consume each other, And our army can take advantage of the situation to capture Constantinople, isn't that great? ”

When Wang San heard this, he finally understood Hua'an's hard work, and nodded approvingly.

"The whole army immediately retreated three miles and retreated." The Jin army gave the order to retreat.

All the soldiers of the Jin army were all stupid, they obviously had an advantage, why did they retreat? However, since most of the soldiers were Persians and Tianzhu people, for this reason, after hearing the military order to retreat, they were still very happy to evacuate, after all, they did not want to lose their lives for the Great Jin Empire.

The Jin soldiers quickly retreated and quickly disengaged from the main Roman army, which surprised the Roman soldiers, and the Roman Emperor Julian and his generals widened their eyes in surprise.

"Your Majesty the Emperor, the Jin army has retreated, and the Jin army has actually retreated." Severus said in surprise.

Julian nodded and said: "Okay, I saw it, the Jin army did retreat, but the Jin army retreated a little strangely, they are fine, how could they retreat suddenly?" Could it be that Ctesiphon's 60,000 captives rebelled and distracted them? ”

Obviously, this was the only reason Julian could think of for the Jin army to retreat.

When the Roman generals heard this, they all nodded in agreement, appreciating Julian's quick wit.

"Your Majesty the Emperor, almost all the main forces of the Jin army have left the city, and there will not be more than 10,000 soldiers and horses outside the city, but my Roman prisoners are enough to have 60,000 people, once they rebel, it is very likely to defeat the Jin army guarding them, so as to control Ctesiphon." Marcellus said calmly.

"If that's the case, we can launch a counteroffensive against the Jin army." Severus said happily.

Julian frowned and said softly: "This situation is just our speculation, it may not necessarily be true, we still have to observe." After speaking, he looked at the retreating Jin soldiers and horses.

"Your Majesty the Emperor, the Jin army has stopped, they stopped three miles away, and they have not retreated." A Roman general said.

Julian looked at the soldiers and horses of the Jin army that had stopped three miles away, his brows furrowed into a big pimple, he was suddenly completely confused, and he didn't understand what the Jin army was going to do at all.

"Your Majesty the Emperor, the Jin army sent a young general to run over." A pro-soldier reminded loudly.

Julian followed the fingers of his own soldiers, and sure enough, he found that a young general of the Jin army was riding a horse, and sighed deeply.

"Your Majesty the Emperor, did the Jin army send a young general here to sue for peace?" Severus whispered.

Julian shook his head slightly, but did not speak.

Soon, the young general of the Jin army arrived at Julian's location and politely dismounted to salute Julian, thus winning Julian's favor.

"Say it! What does the commander of the Jin army want you to do? Julian asked bluntly.

The young general of the Jin army said: "My king sent me to negotiate peace, our Great Jin and Rome have always been well water does not interfere with river water, last time, the emperor of your country attacked Mulu City, where our army was stationed, for no reason, so it caused a little misunderstanding between our two countries." ”

Hearing this, Julian smiled and asked softly: "Since it was a small misunderstanding last time, this time, why didn't the commander of your army explain earlier, but first fight a decisive battle with our army, and then negotiate peace?" ”

The young general of the Jin army said with a smile: "The Roman Empire has always admired the strong, if you don't compete, my king is worried that you will not be willing to negotiate peace!" ”

"Hahaha! Your commander is really a smart man, and it's really good to talk about your conditions! Julian asked lightly.

The young general of the Jin army said: "All the territories of the original Persia belong to the Great Jin, and the two countries will never invade each other in the future, you take the wounded soldiers and leave Ctesiphon immediately, our army will not pursue, in addition, a few days ago, the Germans sent envoys to negotiate with our army, asking to jointly attack your Roman Empire, but it was rejected by my king."
