Nearly one million troops led by Zhuge Liang, Yue Fei, and Wu Qi have arrived on the east bank of the Seine River one after another, set up a large camp that stretches for fifty miles, and trap more than 300,000 Roman troops on the bank with a semicircular phalanx.
Liu Xiu's prediction was once again disappointed, and instead of the cold air being far away, the weather continued to warm, and the ice on the river gradually melted, and finally became choppy.
"Heaven is dead on me Rome" Liu Xiu stood on the riverbank and looked at the banner waving in the wind on the other side, and sighed to the sky surrounded by Zhou Bo, Guan Ying and other generals, wanting to cry without tears.
On the other side of the Seine River, 40,000 Han army iron cavalry lined up, the armor was dazzling under the light of the winter sun, and the four generals Xue Rengui, Li Cunxiao, Zhao Zilong, and Liu Wuji were lined up, one by one majestic, as if the gods descended to earth.
The soldiers behind them were all in high spirits and high morale.
The Seine River was five hundred zhang wide, and the two banks were too far apart to talk, Xue Rengui immediately crossed the halberd, turned his head and commanded the soldiers behind him: "All the soldiers shouted in unison, tell the Romans Liu Bang is here, and let them quickly lay down their weapons and surrender."
The 40,000 Han troops shouted in unison: "Listen to the Romans on the other side, Liu Bang has been captured, and those who know the times will quickly disarm and surrender to save you from death."
The voice of one person was too small, and 40,000 people shouted in unison, the sound reverberated the world, and the mountains and fields responded, not only the Romans could hear it clearly, but even many people heard it in the Han army camp several miles away.
"The Han people said that Lord Zaiheng was captured, wouldn't it be true, if that's the case, it can be seen that the Roman Empire is exhausted, and we still have a fart."
When the Romans heard this, the army was panicked and demoralized, and more than 300,000 soldiers were all demoralized, and the army had no fighting spirit and no will to fight.
"The reinforcements on the other side said that Liu Bang was captured, it seems that God bless the Han to annihilate this remnant of the Roman army is just around the corner, and it seems that it won't be long before the division can return to the court."
Contrary to the Romans, the million-strong Han army on the east bank of the Seine heard the shouts and was demoralized and high-spirited, ready to attack the Roman camp at any time.
Liu Xiuqing knew that the general trend was gone, but he still didn't want to admit defeat, so he ordered the soldiers behind him to ask in unison: "Why did Zai Heng let him come out to meet us, so he believed what you said."
Only a few thousand people responded to Liu Xiu's call, and they were sluggish and weak, but after all, thousands of people spoke in unison, and they could be heard clearly across the Seine.
"Push Liu Bang out and let the Romans see it, it's really not a coffin without tears" Xue Rengui made a long halberd and ordered loudly.
The four strong men pushed out Liu Bang, who was in a state of mind and had a decadent face, and asked him to come to the front of the battle to look at the Roman camp on the other side, and talk to Liu Xiu, Guan Ying and other Roman soldiers.
Today, the wind and the sun are beautiful, the sun is shining, the view is excellent, although the two sides of the strait are separated by 500 zhang, but you can also see the general outline of Liu Bang clearly.
"Alas, it's really Lord Zai Heng" Guan Ying, Zhou Bo and others were all heartbroken, but they couldn't do anything.
Liu Xiu closed his eyes and sighed: "Even my father can't admit it, we must hold on any longer, maybe we can wait until the reinforcements arrive" Zhou Bo said abruptly: "Lord Zai Heng has been captured, Spartacus, Ma Yuan, Luo Shixin and other generals have died on the battlefield one after another, there is a surging river in front of them to cut off the way to retreat, and there are millions of male divisions pressing forward step by step, what is the point of us resisting stubbornly?"
Liu Xiu drew his sword in his hand and hissed: "Until the last moment, we must not give up the former Gaozu who was forced to retreat into Bashu, but I can cultivate the plank road and secretly Chen Cang, and finally defeat Xiang Yu to win the world."
Now we still have more than 300,000 soldiers in our hands, as long as we hold on for a few more days, we may be able to wait for reinforcements, and we must not lightly talk about defeat and shake the morale of the army."
As he spoke, Liu Xiu turned his head and commanded the soldiers behind him viciously: "Tell the Han people loudly that Lord Zai Heng has already returned to Rome, and he is going to play tricks here and threaten our army with a similar person."
The Roman soldiers would rather die standing than fall on their knees."
"You Han people don't want to play tricks, Lord Zai Heng has returned to Rome City, and my Roman soldiers swear not to surrender."
Under Liu Xiu's command, thousands of Roman soldiers shouted in unison, denying that the person opposite was Liu Bang.
Guan Ying, Deng Yu and others led hundreds of generals and colonels to go deep into the battalions to appease the hearts of the army, so that they would not easily believe in the tricks of the Han army.
Xue Rengui laughed at Liu Bang when he heard this: "Haha, your son is quite like the style of Gaozu who shared my piece of the pie back then, but it's a pity that he doesn't have Gaozu's luck Gaozu was able to retreat into Bashu, and now you Romans have no way to go to heaven and no door to the earth, but where can you go?"
Liu Bang shook his head and sighed: "I am willing to lose the bet, it seems that the fortunes of the Han Dynasty are still strong, although the heavens have blessed me and failed to defeat Liu Wei, but I am also honored to see that our Liu family dominates the whole world."
Now that I, Liu Bang, have become a prisoner of the lower ranks, whether Liu Xiu fights or surrenders has nothing to do with me. ” Encouraged by Liu Xiu, the Romans maintained their remaining fighting spirit and hoped that domestic reinforcements would arrive as soon as possible to meet the army across the Seine.
I also hoped in my heart that the weather would become cold, so that the Seine would freeze, and the army would be able to break through as birds and beasts.
The situation has deteriorated so much that it is better to escape than to annihilate the army For several days, the weather showed no signs of warming, and a Roman reinforcement of nearly 100,000 men came from the west.
Xue Rengui turned over his horse, leaving the deputy general Gao Gao to lead 5,000 people to guard the camp, and personally led 35,000 cavalry out of the camp with Li Cunxiao, Zhao Zilong, and Liu Wuji, the three fierce generals, to meet the west.
"Soldiers, the main force of the Roman Empire has already come out with Liu Bang, and this one is just a rabble that has just been recruited, and it is not vulnerable at all.
With a move of the green dragon halberd in Xue Rengui's hand, he flew into the red rabbit horse under his crotch, and the horse took the lead in charging against the Romans.
Liu Wuji, Li Cunxiao, and Zhao Yun refused to lag behind, each urging their horses, waving their weapons, charging like cheetahs, and leading the high-spirited iron cavalry to meet them.
The fierce battle soon began, and the sound of killing shook the sky, blood and flesh flew everywhere, and dust billowed together.
Sure enough, as Xue Rengui expected, this new army hastily formed by the Roman emperor was simply a rabble, although it was three times the cavalry of the Han army, but it was crushed at the first touch, but the formation that was killed in an hour was in chaos, and the corpses were all over the field, and the army could not be formed.
Xue Rengui, Li Cunxiao, Liu Wuji, and Zhao Zilong, the four fierce generals, all of them were all one of a thousand, and after a vicious battle, they all stabbed nearly a thousand enemy troops, and led 35,000 Roman reinforcements to kill the iron cavalry and fled, leaving more than 30,000 corpses to scatter birds and beasts.
The more than 300,000 Roman reinforcements on the other side of the Seine were filled with the corpses of the Romans and the broken Roman flags everywhere in the howling north wind t1706231537:
