Elbata fled quickly, about 200 meters away from the "wall" and felt safe, stopping to look at the side of the "wall" that could explode at any moment.
The explosion did happen, and Elbata didn't know whether to be glad that he had foresight or to be frustrated that the time-consuming and laborious "wall" that had been built collapsed in that explosion.
The explosion on the other side of the "city wall" was only the beginning, and the bronze cannon of the Han army, which had been silent for a while, joined in.
The artillery units of the Han army had already approached within 300 meters of the "city wall," and their goal was not to bombard the city wall, but to use the principle of a curved projectile trajectory of the artillery shells to shell the anti-Han axis coalition army camp behind the "city wall."
The "city wall" was blown out of one gap after another, and first a roar of "the Han army is mighty" appeared, and then the sound of "killing" shouted in Chinese shook the sky.
The Han saber and shield soldiers, who had almost no losses, charged again.
Soldiers who had consumed their stamina in the previous battles became the rear team, and soldiers who did not consume much physical strength became the front team.
They passed through the bombed positions and rushed into the camp of the anti-Han axis coalition like tigers and wolves.
"The reason why we don't go around this wall is to tell them that a new era has come."
Li Kuang looked relaxed, and he was absolutely confident in winning this battle: "After the advent of gunpowder for military purposes, the effect of the city wall was minimized.
They will learn this and develop fear. ” The "city wall" built under the leadership of the Romans is a straight shape, not to mention that it is only about a kilometer, that is, it is tens of miles long, and in terms of battlefield terrain, the Han army is not impossible to bypass.
Li Kuang is also a commander in a war zone, and he needs to improve his vision when looking at everything, including understanding how to spread fear to the enemy.
"Protect it."
Song Ping had just received the report and said excitedly: "Another unit has entered the position. ” This time, the Han army that launched an attack on the "city wall" was close to 10,000, and naturally not all Han troops joined the offensive.
Li Kuang likes to fight a dignified battle, but he will not forget that war is not only a battle style, but to assess and judge the situation in advance, guess the most likely situation, and make targeted arrangements, so as to be the quality of the commander of one side.
After the fighting on this side began, another Han army began its own river crossing.
They were lucky enough to successfully cross the river without being discovered, and after a rapid march they stopped twenty miles behind the camp of the anti-Han axis coalition on the frontal battlefield.
But that was the end of their good fortune.
Rome and Sassanid are empires no matter what, they are not savage and ignorant blood-drinkers, even if they do not arrange scouts within a hundred miles, they will definitely be on guard within thirty miles.
But it's one thing to find out, it's another thing to find out whether the scouts of the anti-Han axis coalition who discovered another Han army can successfully bring the news back.
Even if they survived the Scout War, they wasted too much time to bring the news back so quickly.
"Then we should work harder."
Li Kuang was naturally equally excited about the success of the other unit in making a detour to the rear of the enemy's main force: "Their main camp area can no longer form an effective chain of command, and the other sub-camps will only fight on their own. ” The number of anti-Han Axis coalition forces was so large that it was impossible to say that all of them were crammed into one camp.
In fact, even if everyone can build a large enough camp to accommodate the troops, unless a person with no military knowledge at all is the commander, or the commander with a little common sense will not concentrate all the troops in one camp, but will arrange the troops according to his own understanding and judgment.
The one camp that was being attacked was the main camp of the anti-Han axis coalition forces.
It is a bit general to say that it is a camp, but in fact it is a division of large and small camps, such as a camp for the Romans, a camp for the Persians, and so on.
It will not be the Romans or the Persians who will be arranged on the periphery, but not only the main camp, but the rest of the sub-camps will be at most a small group of Romans or Persians as overseers, and the rest will be personnel of various tribes.
In the face of the Han army's camp being attacked, Elbata's first escape caused chaos, and the Han saber and shield soldiers did not encounter large-scale resistance at all after they entered, even if the soldiers of the anti-Han axis coalition army resisted individually or on a small scale, it was difficult to support under the offensive of the Han saber and shield soldiers on a large scale.
The Han saber and shield soldiers are constantly rolling forward in rotation at intervals, and their task is not to give the enemy time to breathe, to continue the chaos that has already occurred in the enemy army, and to make the enemy's confusion worse, preferably to play an effect that makes the enemy army continue to collapse to a snowball.
On the frontal battlefield, there were sword and shield soldiers to kill them, and the cavalry on the two flanks were still "playing games" with the cavalry of the anti-Han axis coalition forces, and the riflemen array line in the rear continued to advance after a small rest, and the rest of the cold-weapon Han troops on both flanks also began their own actions.
The two flanks of the troops arranged by Li Kuang in the riflemen array first dispatched cavalry to fight against the cavalry of the anti-Han axis coalition army, and then dispatched a curved sword and shield army, and most of the rest were bow and crossbow troops.
The cold weapon troops of the Han army advancing on both flanks did not go towards the "city wall", they made their own detour, and the Han army's offensive on the battlefield became a large-scale trident advance posture.
"There aren't enough troops."
Li Kuang was full of regret with greed: "If the troops are sufficient, it may not be impossible to try to form an encirclement trend on the spot." ” As the commander of the army, Song Ping "tsk" twice and chose to deal with it with a wry smile.
They had already received an official letter from Chang'an, and knew that the rear was already mobilizing troops, and a total of four standing armies had been mobilized to reinforce them, and the mobilized county soldiers had also exceeded 100,000.
In fact, the closest support army to this theater, a standing army, has already entered the jurisdiction of the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate, but after a long march, the troops must have to rest a little, otherwise it will be difficult to enter the battle as soon as possible even if they arrive at the battlefield.
It's not that after a long march, there is no way to fight, but that the long march consumes too much physical strength of that force, making them enter the stage of exhaustion.
Entering a war in an incomplete state, it is too much to give full play to fifty percent of the original ten percent of the strength, that is, why there is a military style of "waiting for work with leisure", isn't it that you are in a complete state to face an enemy army that is not in an intact state.
Li Kuang originally wanted to wait, but war is like that, the fighter plane is a fleeting thing, he doesn't have a keen enough sense of smell to catch the fighter, and he wants to wait for his own strength to be enough to launch an offensive, and the other party is not set in stone, and he may even wait for his own preparations to be completed, and the other party may have run away.
The anti-Han Axis coalition forces retreated, and Li Kuang could only launch an offensive with the limited forces at hand, otherwise once the anti-Han Axis coalition forces withdrew from the Penchi River battlefield, they would inevitably face a harsh fighting environment as the seasons changed.
Not wanting the enemy army to get out of control, even if it was not the best time to march, the Han army had to launch an offensive.
That's the reality.
Shells were constantly falling from the sky, solid shells, flowering shells that exploded in mid-air, and even special shells that ignited the fire after an explosion.
Elbata returned to the command post under the protection of his own soldiers, and when he entered, he saw a busy scene in a panic.
"The Han army launched an offensive on three sides."

When Malus saw Elbata, he didn't bother about how the Han army crossed the city wall to kill him in less than an hour: "The tribes are completely chaotic" Along the way, Elbata had already found that the tribes were in turmoil, and they had cut a way by slashing people all the way, and they knew exactly what was happening.
"Trying to stop the chaos has no effect at all" Marus is a Roman general, and it cannot be said that he has no experience in commanding foreign miscellaneous troops, but in the face of the current situation, his best efforts are only to suppress those Roman vassal races, and there is nothing he can do with other unfamiliar races: "We need to admit this defeat."
My plan is to retreat with my troops while the legion has not yet been affected and the vassal races can still be controlled. ” The Romans fought with vassal races for so long that it became a habit.
As long as he is a Roman general, he will inevitably encounter vassals and miscellaneous soldiers who need to face chaos in his military career, and whether he can successfully stop the chaos depends on the ability of that general.
Of course, Malus refused to admit that he was incompetent, insisting that the situation he was facing was so bad that it was a "natural disaster" that could not be stopped by human beings.
At this time, he really can't think about how to stop it, he thinks that the most reasonable and should be done is to "stop the loss".
Albata's cheeks twitched uncontrollably.
He had just asked the adjutant general who had remained at the command post, and he was told that the Persian troops were also in disarray, not because they were affected by the various ethnic groups, but because the officers could not contact him.
"Withdraw."
Elbata said dejectedly, "Maybe it's a mistake for us to pull up so many tribes. ” The coalition army is composed of multiple forces, each force has its own set of power structure, and any army has its own supreme commander.
Under normal circumstances, the formation of a coalition force must only have a strong enough master, and the enemy facing must not be too strong, otherwise unless it is a large area of each fighting its own enemy, it is really impossible to avoid pulling the strings and pulling all kinds of hindrances.
"Let's go, let's go" Malus didn't think it was wrong to pull so many forces, but they used those forces in the wrong direction: "This retreat, probably to the hinterland of the Hunnette.
When the time comes, I will take the lead and integrate those tribes. ” Elbata also knew that Rome had a good way of managing its "allies", so he nodded and turned to leave.
They didn't discuss any retreat routes, and they knew very well that it was useless to discuss them now, and that time was wasted, so it was better to run a few more steps.
In the chaotic situation, it is nothing more than to think about how to drive away those so-called allies, so as not to let them call themselves hindering themselves, trouble.
After waiting to get away from the chaotic area, it makes most sense to discuss what to do next.
The rapid defeat at the front, and the continuous fall of the Han army's shells, were the cause of the confusion.
Furthermore, all ethnic groups originally knew that the Han people were not easy to mess with, and they were really afraid that the Han people would exterminate all races, and secondly, if they did not participate in the anti-Han axis, they would be exterminated by the Persians or Romans first without waiting for the Han people to come, and there were really no races that sincerely joined in.
No matter how Persian Sassanid and Rome are empire-level countries, the various ethnic groups that joined the anti-Han axis, they thought that even if they could not defeat the Han Chinese, the two empires would be able to fight together no matter how they could, but it turned out that they thought too much, obviously the number was several times that of the Han people, but they were beaten like dogs by the Han people.
The various ethnic groups were in turmoil because they clearly saw that the Romans and Persians were not opponents of the Han people at all, and if it weren't for the Han people who made it clear that they didn't want to give the various ethnic groups a way to live, they didn't know how many "loyal and righteous people" wanted to come to the battlefield to abandon the darkness and turn to the light.
I can't beat the Han people, and the Han people don't accept the surrender, so of course they should run away "They know that surrender is also the fate of slaves."
Ji Hai was walking with a flintlock pistol on his shoulder, and he couldn't control his mouth: "The big man will castrate the slaves now, and they can only run away." ” Liu Shen walked on Ji Hai's side, and he had already listened to the broken thoughts all the way, and many times the corners of his mouth twitched.
"If a man has no birds under his crotch, what hope is there" Ji Hai turned his head to look at Liu Shen and asked: "Isn't all the struggle just to pass on to future generations?"
Liu Shen has a positive attitude towards this.
"Of course, there must be a little birdie."
Ji Hai's seriousness was only one sentence, and his face became obscene: "In life, of course, it is necessary to wake up on the knees of a drunken beauty and hold the murderous sword, so that it can be regarded as not in vain."
If you can't taste the beauties of all races, it's a kind of white life, right?"
Liu Shen knew where "drunk lying on the knees of a beautiful woman, waking up and holding a murderous sword" came from, and it was from the champion Hou Huo to get sick.
He glared at Ji Hai when he said such a sentence with an obscene expression.
For them, it is really not too difficult to taste the beauties of all ethnic groups, Ji Hai has long had a preliminary plan for his life, after he dealt with his father, he really didn't have any big thoughts about making contributions next, he planned to enjoy a happy life in Chang'an first, and then travel to various places.
Traveling, no matter how much it happens, there will be some stories of big husbands and beauties, Ji Hai doesn't dare to harm the women of the Han family, but if the woman is only willing to have fun, then it will be to hunt beauties of all ethnic groups:
