Pratt naturally knew very well in his heart that as a general, the only opportunity for him to make meritorious contributions could only be to fight and defeat the enemy army, and now Paus said that his opportunity to make meritorious service had come, which was equivalent to telling him that the Roman army had arrived near Ctesiphon, and he could lead his troops to a decisive battle with the Roman army. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

As a general of Persia, Pratt was very eager to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions, and after the defeat in the battle with the Jin army, he was even more eager for the opportunity to make meritorious contributions, only in this way could he wash away the shame of his defeat and make him have a face.

Paus smiled and said softly: "Yes, General Palat, the Roman general Orleans has personally led ten Roman legions to the outskirts of Ctesiphon and is camping, His Majesty the King has asked the general to lead his troops and horses to attack the Orleans legion, and the immortal army will go out of the city to fight with the general." ”

Hearing this, Pratt nodded, and said, "If there is an immortal army to help in the battle, our army will definitely be able to defeat the Roman Orleans legion, and His Majesty the King can rest assured." ”

"That's great, let's speed up our march and attack the Orleans Legion!" Paus said.

Pratt nodded, and gave the order to speed up the march of the army under his command, and be sure to run to the Orleans regiment as fast as possible.

On the walls of Ctesiphon, Shapur II, King of Persia, looked at the Roman camp in the distance outside the city, his heart was furious, and he looked at the general of the Immortal Army beside him, and said loudly: "General Palat's soldiers and horses will soon arrive at Ctesiphon, and you immediately lead the Immortal Army out of the city to assemble, ready to attack the Roman legions at any time."

"Yes, Your Majesty." The general of the Immortal Army answered loudly, and immediately went to command the 10,000 Immortal Army and 20,000 reserve soldiers who had already been assembled in the city, and left the city of Taixi in a mighty way, and immediately began to set up the formation when they arrived outside the city.

The soldiers of the Persian Immortal Army are all heavy armor and heavy armor, and the defense is very high, at the same time, the weapons they are equipped with are also the most elite weapons of the Persian Empire, and the attack power is also very powerful, which can be described as a formidable and powerful army, which is the guard of the Persian King Shapur II, so that the most elite soldiers and horses go out of the city to attack the Roman legion is also a last resort, after all, the Persian elite war elephant legion has been destroyed, if the immortal army is not dispatched, it may not be able to defeat the Roman legion.

Shapur II dispatched all the remaining elite soldiers of the Persian Empire in order to defeat the Roman vanguard Orleans legion, and he must win this battle, otherwise the fate of his country will befall him.

On the outskirts of Ctesiphon, the Roman general Orleans was standing on a high ground observing the city of Ctesiphon in the distance, and thinking about how to attack Ctesiphon in order to break through the city in the shortest possible time.

As a general of the Roman Empire, Orleans very much hoped that he could break through Ctesiphon, but he knew that there was the most elite Persian immortal army in the city, and with the ten legions under his command, it was obvious that he could not break Ctesiphon, and if he wanted to break Ctesiphon, he had to wait for the main army led by the Roman Emperor Constantius II to arrive before launching a formal attack.

However, if he fought on flat ground, he was not afraid of the Immortal Army, at least he thought that his soldiers and horses would not be able to defeat the much smaller number of Immortals, and he had strong confidence in the soldiers and horses under his command.

"General, the Persian army has left the city and is assembling outside the city, it seems that it is planning to attack our army." One of the generals looked at the Persian Immortal Army that was pouring out of Ctesiphon, and Masseki said.

The Roman general Orleans frowned for a while, and said: "It's the Immortal Army, the most elite legion of the Persian Empire, our opportunity has come, as long as we defeat the Immortal Army in front, we have made a great achievement." "I was quite excited.

"What the general said is that our army has ten legions, and there should be no problem in defeating the Immortal Army." The generals also felt that they were sure of victory.

"The order is given, and the whole army immediately assembles and prepares for battle." The Roman general Orleans gave the order loudly.

Soon, the ten Roman legions immediately began to assemble and lined up in the direction facing the Persian Immortals, and they could immediately attack the Persian Immortals at the command of Orleans.

After the Persian Immortals lined up, they did not attack the Roman legions, but stood motionless, like a sculpture.

"General, the Persian Immortal Army has not launched an attack on our army, it seems that our army is going to take the initiative." A Roman general said.

Orleans nodded, and said with a straight face: "Pass the order, and the whole army will immediately attack and break the Persian Immortal Army." ”

When the generals heard the order, they immediately conveyed the order to attack, and the 10 Persian legions of 60,000 horses lined up in a tight formation and slaughtered the Persian Immortal Legion.

At this time, the Persian Pratt army had not yet arrived, and the Persian Immortal Army was in a disadvantageous situation, but the Persian Immortal Army was not afraid of death, so all the soldiers did not have a look of fear, but clenched the weapons in their hands, ready to fight with the enemy army that rushed up.

"Prepare to meet the enemy." The general of the Immortal Army gave the order to meet the enemy.

The soldiers of the Persian Immortal Army immediately drew their weapons, raised their shields, and prepared for battle.

Shapur II, the king of Persia, nervously looked at the Roman Orleans legion that was being killed, his palms were all beads of sweat, the immortal army outside the city was the most elite force in Persia, if it was hit hard by the Roman legion, the consequences would be unimaginable, he looked due south from time to time at the moment, he hoped that the Pratt legion could arrive in time, as long as the Pratt legion could arrive in time, he would definitely be able to defeat the Roman Orleans legion and let the Orleans legion suffer heavy losses, so as to show the strong strength of the Persian Empire, Shock the Roman Emperor Constantius II.

However, even if the Pratt army could not arrive on time, Shapur II believed that his immortal army could withstand the attack of the Roman Orleans legion, after all, the immortal army was the most elite soldiers and horses of the Persian Empire, and if it did not even have the ability to fight one against two, the Persian Empire would have no hope.

Soon, the Roman hoplite legions collided with the Persian Immortals, wielding their weapons in a desperate battle.

The Roman legions occupied the advantage of strength and surrounded the Immortal Army on three sides, but the Immortal Army was not afraid at all, with its excellent defensive formation, it blocked the offensive momentum of the Roman Legion, and maintained the formation from being broken, and even used the continuous fire of the bow and crossbow to kill and injure the attacking Roman Legion.

Of course, since the Roman legions were also hoplite legions, the shooting of crossbows did not do much but caused some casualties to the Roman legions.

Twice the advantage of troops, fighting on flat ground, can not break through the formation of the immortal army, the Roman general Orleans was greatly surprised, the combat power of the Persian immortal army is really very strong, at least, much more elite than the soldiers and horses under his command.

After a period of fighting, Orleans could already feel that the combat effectiveness of the Persian Immortal Army was comparable to that of the most elite Spartan legion in Rome, and only the Spartan legion had such a strong combat strength in the Roman Empire.

However, the Spartan legions were under the personal command of the Roman Emperor Constantius II, so none of the ten Roman legions under his command were Spartan legions.

Fortunately, the Orleans Legion has the advantage of strength, so although its combat strength is not as good as that of the Immortal Army, it is enough to deal with the counterattack of the Immortal Army, so that the Immortal Army can only passively defend and cannot effectively launch a counterattack.

However, Orleans would never have dreamed that the current Persian Empire had been annexed to the Jin court, and that the Pratt legion, which had been used to defend against the Jin army's attack, had been transferred back to Ctesiphon and was about to arrive on the battlefield.

As soon as the Pratt regiment suddenly reinforced, the Orleans regiment would immediately be at an absolute disadvantage, and it was obvious that the large army would be defeated.

Seeing that the Immortal Army really lived up to expectations and blocked the attack of the Roman Orleans legion, Shapur II, the king of Persia, was very happy and anxious at the same time, at this moment, as long as the Pratt legion suddenly came out, Persia could win a big victory, and his strategic plan could also be successful, Shapur II kept looking due south, and longed for the Palat legion to arrive as soon as possible.

"Your Majesty, it's the dust that has been raised, and General Pratt's soldiers and horses should not be far away." A pro-soldier with good eyesight reported loudly.

"Flying dust, where is it, how can this king not see it." Shapur II asked anxiously.

The soldier pointed in the direction of due south, and Zhengse said: "Your Majesty, the dust raised is in this direction, and it is getting bigger and bigger. ”

Shapur II frowned and looked at it for a long time, and finally saw a trace of dust, and suddenly a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, there was dust flying, which was enough to show that the Pratt legion was not far away, and as long as the Pratt legion joined the battle, it could easily defeat the Roman Orleans legion.

"Haha! The Orleans regiment is finished, and our army will surely win a great victory. Shapur II said excitedly.

The ministers beside him were all happy, and complimented them from time to time.

The Pratt Legion was getting closer and closer to the battlefield, and a large number of camel cavalry galloped up, making the whole land tremble.

The soldiers and horses who were fighting on the battlefield may not feel the tremor of the earth, but Shapur II and others standing on the city wall can clearly feel the shaking of the city wall.

"Your Majesty, let us blow the trumpet and help the army outside the city!" A Persian vizier proposed.

Shapur II nodded with a smile, and said, "Okay, let the soldiers on the city wall immediately blow the horn and help the soldiers outside the city." ”

"Woo woo woo ......" On the orders of Shapur II, the soldiers on the Persian walls sounded the horn of the attack.

The Plat legion, which was rushing to the battlefield, immediately increased its gallop speed after hearing the characteristic Persian horn sound, and drew its weapons to attack the Roman legions.

And the soldiers of the Immortal Army, who were fighting, also began to launch a counterattack after hearing the sound of the horn, because they had already seen the reinforcements of the Pratt Legion, and the confidence of victory made them launch a fierce attack without any scruples.

At this moment, the soldiers of the Roman legion also saw the Persian Pratt legion that was being killed, and felt a trace of fear, they did not have much advantage against the immortal army, and now, the Prati legion suddenly killed, which made them feel that defeat was inevitable.

The Roman general Orleans looked at the Platt legion in horror, and there was a trace of despair in his heart, the sudden entry of the Pratt legion put his soldiers and horses at an absolute disadvantage, and he may not be able to achieve victory by resisting with all his might, but it seems that it is difficult to get rid of the fate of being hit hard by the retreat, after all, the Pratt legion is a camel cavalry, and the Roman legion under his command is a hoplite, how can the infantry outrun the camel cavalry?

"General, the Persian reinforcements have arrived, we have little chance of winning, we must evacuate immediately." A Roman legion general said calmly.

"Can a soldier's two legs outrun a camel? I'm afraid it's going to be difficult to evacuate. Orleans said helplessly.

"General, if you stay and fight hard, the whole army will be wiped out, and evacuation can still preserve a certain strength, so let's retreat immediately! It's also good to keep a legion. The ministry will persuade again.

Orleans nodded helplessly, and said, "Okay!" The whole army immediately retreated, retreated. After speaking, he took the lead in leading the soldiers to evacuate backwards.

The Roman soldiers had lost their fighting spirit, so as soon as the order to retreat from Orleans was given, all the Roman soldiers began to rush backwards to save their lives.

Seeing that the Roman legions were about to flee, the Immortals immediately launched a brave pursuit, and the Pratt legions were divided into two ways to outflank the fleeing Roman army.

The speed of the camel cavalry naturally far exceeded the speed of the hoplites, and for this, the fleeing Roman legions were soon overtaken and surrounded by the regiments of Palat.

However, the Roman legion has a large number of soldiers and horses, which is equivalent to the number of the Pratt legion, so it is very unrealistic for the Palat legion to want to stop all the Roman legions of the same strength, and it does not have the strength, but it is not much of a problem to stop some of its soldiers and horses, and cooperate with the follow-up immortal army to annihilate them.

Seeing that his soldiers and horses could not stop the main Roman legions, Pratt immediately abandoned half of the Roman legions, concentrated all his forces, surrounded the last 30,000 Roman legions, and launched a fierce attack.

At this moment, the encircled Roman army was only 30,000 troops and demoralized, while the Persian army that attacked it was 90,000 troops, three times the strength of the Roman army.

In particular, the Persian Immortal Army attacked the Roman soldiers almost in a frenzy, and it seemed that listening to the painful howls of the Roman soldiers was a very happy thing.

Under the siege and annihilation of a total of 90,000 troops on two Persian roads, the 30,000 hoplites of Rome were completely annihilated, while Persia only paid the price of 3,000 soldiers killed, which can be described as an unprecedented victory. (To be continued.) )
