The night was shrouded, and the Wu army was in camp.
More than 100,000 soldiers of the Xiongnu Legion in the vanguard of the Wu army started to build a camp at the same time, first digging deep trenches around, and then cutting wood to build a camp.
But to build a defensive camp, it will take ten days.
Now this camp seems to have a trace of outline on the surface, but in fact it is still fragile and has no trace of defensive ability, just like a horse on the plain, as long as the cavalry can rush through.
Therefore, when hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses of the Roman crusade and Parthian legions crossed the river at the same time to sneak attack, it was easy to kill.
"Warriors, get in" "Warriors of the Empire, follow me to slay demons and defend the borders of the Empire" "Kill the demons, support the light, God will look at us again, kill" "God bless the Empire, kill the devil and kill the enemy, kill and kill" The soldiers of the Gallic Legion and the Parthian Legion, who were holding their breath in their chests, were very excited at this moment, as if their blood was boiling, and under their combination, their momentum swelled very quickly, and they broke through the gate of the camp without destroying the force and entered the camp.
It's a pity that they thought they could kill Wu Jun by surprise, but it backfired, when they came in, the Wu army camp they faced was actually an empty camp, and all the figures were just wooden people.
"What's going on" When the generals saw it, they were immediately surprised.
"We've Got It" "The demon army is not here, damn it, it's a trap" Vickers and Morduta glanced at each other, they were both veterans of the battlefield, and years of fighting allowed them to react quickly no matter what situation they faced on the battlefield, and when they saw this scene, they immediately ordered their soldiers to withdraw and leave.
"Quick Exit" "Take my orders and get out" The two turned their horses' heads and howled with all their might, trying to make the soldiers under their command obey their orders, but because the previous work of encouraging the morale of the army was done too carefully, the hearts of these soldiers in Rome burst with enthusiasm and enthusiasm.
They rushed in with a fearless and invincible charge.
So I can't withdraw if I want to.
The Roman soldiers who were bent on charging were still charging into the barracks, rampage, as if trampling the Wu army camp that had already built the rudiments of the city into ruins.
And at this moment, on the hill about a thousand meters of the camp, suddenly the flames soared into the sky, and one by one they were exposed in the fire.
"Commander Jia, your prediction is really correct, they really took advantage of the hazy night to cross the river and sneak attack our camp."
Ma Chao's tiger eyes flashed with a cold battle intent: "Fortunately, I didn't lead the army to stay below and confront them head-on, otherwise with their momentum and strength, I would have suffered a big loss."
This is a strategy for temporary change.
In fact, Ma Chao was originally a little dissatisfied in his heart, but now, he admires Jia Xu's judgment more and more.
"The Roman Empire is a profound empire, and their ability to command troops is not bad, so we can't underestimate them, it's not surprising that they can come up with the idea of crossing the river at night and sniping at us while we haven't gained a foothold."
The corners of Jia Xu's mouth raised a cold smile: "It's a pity, they are still too eager to do it, and they don't even cover it up, so when I crossed the river, the scouts I let go out found out, and now, it's time to give them a heavy blow, and the Hun Legion armies obey orders."
"In" The commanders of the various armies of the Xiongnu legion stood up and bowed their heads and waited for the military order.
"Gather all the archers in the legion, immediately step forward, draw their arrows, light the arrows, and shoot at a position in the sky at an angle of seventy-five degrees, aiming at the large camp at a distance of 1,500 meters."
Jia Xu's expression was calm, his eyes were indifferent, the command bronze sword in his hand was erected, and the sword pointed to the rudimentary camp established by the Wu army at his feet: "Three arrows in a row" The distance is too long for a direct shot to be missed, but the geographical location here is condescending, and if the archer's arrow is shot up to the sky, it can fall in an arc and fall to the target's camp.
The hit rate is definitely insufficient, but as long as you can cover that area, you're done.
"Obedience" The archers of the various armies of the Hun Legion quickly took their places immediately, pulled their bows and arrows one by one, and then the soldiers next to them lit this flame on the arrow, and the flames together, the light was brilliant, and the entire sky was quickly reflected red.
"Woohoo" The bow and arrow were shot, and the dark sky suddenly appeared one after another flame-like meteors, densely packed, reflecting the long red sky, and finally these flame-like meteors fell like raindrops in the camp temporarily built by the Wu army.
"What's that?"
"Run" "Ahh "Fire, I'm on fire, put out the fire" "Help, I'm on fire too, and my armor is burned."
The whole camp was originally in ruins, but there was also some wood in the house, and there was too much wood piled up in the camp built by the Wu army during the day, and when these flames fell, the fire of the entire camp rose all at once.
In an instant, the entire camp became a wailing hell.
"Quick Exit" When Vickers and Morduta saw this, they shivered, and their hearts sank below the freezing point, and they took the lead in the face of this situation, rushing out first, leading their soldiers to charge outside.
"Fear not, warriors of the Empire, we have come to answer" "Watering" "Extinguishing the fire" The Crusader Legion came quickly, and the soldiers of the entire legion quickly threw themselves into the sea of fire to rescue, and rescued the soldiers of the two major legions who were surrounded by the sea of fire.
"Commander Ma, their reinforcements are also in place, and the rest will be left to you" On the top of the hill, Jia Xu looked at the crusade army that had been put into the rescue, there was no accident, but his eyes lit up slightly, and then turned his head, Ma Chao with a solemn expression said: "The cavalry charges, face the enemy directly, destroy as many as you can, and destroy their forces is our general strategy, but there is one point, no matter what, your soldiers and horses must not cross the river, the east bank is too dangerous, once it passes, it may not be able to kill back."
In the current situation, it was not suitable for the Wu army to cross the river.
Because the main force did not arrive.
With the strength of their Liang elder brother's legion, as long as they cross the river, they will inevitably encounter the main force in the city of Rome, and even the entire army will be annihilated, which is not good for the Wu army.
"Commander Jia, please rest assured, I have understood what you said, and I will make this battle unforgettable for them."
Ma Chao's confident smile bloomed on his face, he held the reins of the horse in one hand, held the tiger's head Zhan golden gun in the other, and pointed the spear straight at the Roman army under the hill: "Sons, the time has come to make meritorious contributions and worship the fief, please follow me to attack and tear them apart."
"Tear them apart" "Tear them apart" The elite of the Rest Legion plus the cavalry of the Hun Legion, the main force of more than 100,000 seemed to be a predatory tiger descending from the mountain, fierce and brave, and rushed straight to the Roman soldiers who had just escaped from the sea of fire.
"Damn it" The commander of the Crusaders, Dio, looked up slightly, his eyes widened and trembled, his teeth crackling.
He had already sensed that something was wrong when he saw the faint glow of fire on the distant hill by the river, so he quickly asked the Crusader soldiers to cross the river at once, but he was still a little late.
Wu Jun calculated that they would cross the river and steal the camp this time, so they made a set.
An empty battalion and a fire attack caused at least tens of thousands of casualties among the officers and men of the two major legions of the Gallic Legion and the Parthian Legion, although it was not enough to cripple even a single legion, but the last fighting spirit of the two major legions retreating from the front line and biting the moment was drowned.
Faced with the two legions that escaped from the sea of fire and were still in chaos and collapsed, Dio knew that he couldn't point it, and he was afraid that he could only let his crusade army go up now.
"Warriors of the Crusaders, come forward, remember that the heavy shieldmen are ahead, no matter what, the demon cavalry must be stopped" Dio is a veteran of the battlefield, he quickly transferred troops, and the formation was also very fast, quickly forming a defensive line in front of the Wu army, on the other hand, he was also urging the two major armies to withdraw: "Vickers, Moduta, you quickly gather the soldiers under your command, and then quickly cross the river and withdraw the troops" "Yes" When Vickers and Moduta heard this, although they now also wanted to lead their army to fight against the Wu army, at this time they gritted their teeth and shouted, gathered their rout, quickly crossed the river, crossed the Tiber River, and returned to the east bank.

"Kill" Ma Chao's fighting spirit is like a rainbow, he rushes to the front, cold, murderous rising to the sky, the whole person is like a wild horse out of the cage of the tiger, facing the Roman army in front of the heavy shield soldiers, without saying a word, straight up: "Whoever stands in my way, die" The big spear in his hand swept by, wisps of Gang Qi flashed sharply, and the five or six heavy shield soldiers who stood in front of him were killed.
"Rush over" "Kill it" Wu Jun's morale suddenly swelled.
"Pass my order, the first and second corps will retreat left and right, the third corps will be on top, and the fourth corps will be behind, forming a deep battle formation, fighting and retreating" After Dio set up the defensive battle array, he raised his head slightly, looked beyond the flames, and saw a fierce general in the Wu army: "Another demon king" He took a deep breath, held the silver-white knight's war spear in his hand, and rode his horse to meet him: "Follow me to meet the enemy and block them" At this time, he must lead the crusaders to stop the charge of the Wu army, otherwise the Gallic and Parthian legions will face total annihilation.
"Dead" The big gun in Ma Chao's hand was pressed against the top of Taishan and slashed at Dio.
"Protection" Dio's spear straddled and blocked Ma Chao's shot, but he felt that the horse's legs were no longer stable, his arms were trembling, and all his internal organs made the demon king's qi shake and shift.
"Yes, come again" Ma Chao's eyes lit up, the more he fought, the more courageous he became, the gun was invincible, one shot at a time, and the pressure of Dio was out of breath.
"Damn, what kind of beast race is this guy?"
Dio could only passively face the battle, barely resisting, and retreating while fighting.
He can also be regarded as a fierce general of the empire, but in the face of the demon king in front of him, he has to admit that the gap between himself and him is too big.
At this time, the Gallic Legion and the Parthian Legion crossed the river and retreated eastward, and the Crusader Legion had also retreated to the Tiber River, but in the face of such a fierce pursuit by the Wu army, the Crusader Legion could only maintain a defensive formation and did not dare to cross the river.
The battle was somewhat stalemate.
Dio was very anxious, if he was so deadlocked, he would not have to wait until dawn, and I was afraid that the Crusaders would be annihilated here.
But he couldn't help it.
In the face of Ma Chao's fierce pursuit, he has already paid the lives of the four thousand commanders around him, but he can't stop them, and now he can only fight, hard support, his body has been stained with blood, and his wounds are one after another.
"Devil, come to life" "Predator, Strike" At this time, in the woods of the upper plains, a legion broke through the air and slammed into the body of Wu Jun from the left flank.
"There is also a regimental ambush" The Wu army was chasing the crusade legion and fighting fiercely, but he didn't want another legion to emerge, so he suddenly changed the formation, and the chief of staff, Yan Xing, personally led the troops of a corps to block the left flank: "Tell the commander quickly and let him withdraw his troops."
In the face of the combined attack of the two legions, the Wu army could not ask for benefits, and they had to accept it when they saw it.
"Reinforcements" Ma Chao also noticed the left wing, but he was a little unwilling, his tiger eyes flashed cold, like a poisonous snake, staring directly at Dio: "Capture the thief and capture the king" He suddenly rode his horse and leaped as fast as lightning and shot at Dio.
"Looks like I'm going to see God this time" In the midst of the lightning, Dio could no longer dodge, and his heart seemed to have fallen into an ice cellar. clang At this juncture, a heavy sword came out and blocked the tip of Ma Chao's spear.
The tip of the spear slashed across the blade of the heavy sword, stirring up endless sparks.
"Chax" Dio was overjoyed in his desperate situation.
Standing in front of him was the head of the Knights Templar, who was also the top three and even the first peerless general in the Roman Empire, Chucks.
"General Theo, you lead the troops to withdraw first, and I will block him" Chax raised his sword with both hands, and his horse flew high under his crotch.
"Good" Dio nodded, and quickly led his army across the river back to the east bank.
"Good guy, this is a strong man" Although Ma Chao was a little pity that he didn't kill Dio, he was more concerned about Chaxx who suddenly killed him, this Roman general had a strong aura and was not under him.
"Kill" Chucks was the first to strike.
"Beheaded" Ma Chao saw that he had a good hunting heart, and killed him with a gun.
The figures between the two are staggered, you come and go, and in half an hour, they have fought for seventy or eighty rounds, barely a winner, Chucks is fierce, the horse is super powerful, and the fight between the two sides is half a catty.
"I didn't expect the Roman Empire to have such a master, this battle is smooth" Ma Chao looked up to the sky and laughed, took back his spear, turned his horse's head, and led his troops away: "Roman barbarian, you remember, I am Ma Mengqi, I am from the Great Wu Imperial Court, if I see you again in Rome on the next battlefield, I will behead you" Although he was impulsive, but now he was pinned down by the left flank, the crusade army directly opposite had obviously withdrawn, and there was an iron-blooded legion on the north side of the left flank looking down, this battle could not be fought anymore, and it would be useless attrition to fight, so he collected his troops and returned to the camp.
As soon as Ma Chao withdrew, the Rest Corps quickly withdrew.
"What did he say" On the battlefield, Chucks' mouth burst a little, and drops of blood fell on the heavy sword, but he didn't care at all, his eyes looked at Ma Chao's departing back, and asked in a low voice to a Templar beside him.
"General, he is reporting his life, he is Meng Qima from the East, he said that if you meet again on the battlefield next time, he will duel with you and cut off your head" This was a Templar who was familiar with Eastern languages.
Knowing one's own situation and that of the enemy.
Over the years, many people in the Roman Empire have also learned Oriental languages, which is conducive to their understanding of the Orient.
"Behead me" Chucks sneered, his breath rose all over his body, like a round of glowing red sun, quite sharp, and said coldly: "I'm waiting for him" t1706231537:
