Chapter 1566 Points
The Roman army rushed to more than a hundred steps in front of the fence, and the crossbowmen on both sides shot at each other. The rain of arrows was covered with the sky and the soldiers on both sides were shot in the whistling rain of arrows.
This did not stop the Roman army from advancing. The Roman army's attack became even more fierce. He howled and rushed towards the Qin army's peripheral front.
In the blink of an eye, the Roman army rushed under the fence after paying a considerable price. At this time, multiple gaps had been opened by artillery fire in many places in the fence.
Thousands of Roman soldiers shouted and rushed in through a gap. At this time, thousands of Qin crossbowmen suddenly emitted a powerful rain of arrows towards the tide of the Roman army. Screams were heard one after another, and hundreds of Roman soldiers were overturned to the ground. However, the Qin crossbowmen had no time to take the arrow, and the breaking Roman army rushed closer. The Qin crossbowmen immediately retreated, and at the same time, thousands of spearmen and swords and shields rushed forward.
The surging attack rushed to the Qin army's front, and the scene was as thrilling as the waves slammed the shore.
The soldiers on both sides started a fierce melee, roaring and screaming intertwined, blood was flying in the sky, the fallen soldiers fell unwillingly, and the wounded soldiers were still fighting with blood. A hundred-man Roman soldiers shouted and rushed towards the Qin army, and a wave of arrows suddenly roared, and nearly half of the soldiers were immediately caught in arrows and fell to the ground. The red-eyed Roman soldiers rushed into the middle of the Qin army and slashed the sword. The Qin soldiers fought back to death. The soldiers on both sides hugged each other and fought each other, slashed each other with one knife, and then they fell into a pool of blood. The chest was pierced but still pinched the other's neck until there was no movement on both sides. In a moment, almost all the Roman soldiers of the hundred-man team were killed.
At the same time, the same tragic battle was taking place near several other gaps.
The entire front was in full swing, and the figures of soldiers on both sides appeared and disappeared under artillery fire and moonlight, surging and squeezing each other, killing sounds shook the sky.
The battle lasted for a whole night. When the sun rose from the east, the Roman army had retreated. The battlefield was full of corpses, and the bodies of soldiers on both sides were mixed together, and wolf smoke lingered. The original yellow earth turned into a scene of black and blood-red intertwined, and the air was filled with the smell of choking smoke and blood.
"General, the enemy retreated!" A general rushed to Yan Yan to report the report.
Yan Yan nodded at the disarray battlefield in front of him.
Yan Yan came to the injured area with his generals and a group of personal soldiers. What caught his eye was a miserable scene. Tens of thousands of wounded soldiers were moaning in the pool of blood, and many people had despair on their faces. The medical officers were shuttled back and forth like robots covered with clockwork.
Yan Yan comforted the injured soldiers and came to the Western Regions Alliance Army. The scene he saw made him feel worried. These Western Regions Alliance Army were different from the Qin army, and they had already shown a wavering look.
Back at the tent, Yan Yan asked in a deep voice: "How is the casualties of our army?"
A general replied: "There were more than 10,000 soldiers killed and injured last night!~~" with a look of emotion on his face.
Yan Yan frowned and asked, "How many soldiers can the Sixth Legion fight?"
"Not less than fifty thousand people!"
Yan Yan frowned and turned his head to ask a general wearing traditional armor in Western Regions, "Sanggan, how is the situation of the Western Regions Alliance?" The general was named Sanggan, and is currently the supreme commander of the Western Regions Alliance. He came from Kucha. He was originally a general of Kucha. He followed the Qin army on expeditions many times and was famous throughout the Western Regions. He is also the pride of the people of Kucha.
Sang Gan said with a worried look: "General, I'm a little worried! The Western Regions coalition is no better than the Imperial Regular Army. They can't last long in such a fierce battle. They have reached their limit! At present, there are only less than 60,000 fighters left here!" The total number of Western Regions coalition forces that accompanied Zhao Yun westward was 200,000, but only 100,000 were coming to Altashat.
Yan Yan was silent for a moment and said firmly: "Now is the most critical time! No problem will occur! Sanggan, you must ensure this!"
Sanggan hesitated for a moment and agreed to the promise with his fists.
At the same time, on the official road from Kari to Altasha, a large army was moving at full speed. This army was dominated by the Xianbei army, with a total of 100,000 troops. Their purpose was to reinforce Altasha, which was currently in a tense battle.
Thirteen provinces in the east of Rome.
Although the overall strategy was adjusted after the Qin army occupied Kari, in order to delay the attack of the Roman army, Zhao Yun sent the Xiongnu army, Xianbei army and the first army light cavalry team, and a total of more than 100,000 cavalry divided into routes and broke into the Thirteen Eastern Provinces of Rome. In just a few days, the Thirteen Eastern Provinces of Rome were filled with smoke, and important strategic warehouses, horse heads, and cities were all devastatingly hit, and the Roman people rushed to the west in panic.
A few days later, more than 100,000 Qin troops gathered in the province of Ghanathia and fought a fierce battle with hundreds of thousands of Roman troops who arrived here. The iron hooves rushed on the field, and the sharp horizontal swords caused a bloody rain in the sky. The Roman army relied on the tower shield front to resist, and one front after another was shattered by the Qin army's iron cavalry. The scene was really thrilling.
The war lasted all day, and the Qin cavalry ultimately failed to make a decisive breakthrough due to the large number of enemies and the terrain.
At night, Ma Chao led the Qin cavalry to withdraw from the battlefield. The battlefield was full of corpses, spears and guns were broken, and blood gathered into a stream. This was the battle called the blood sea of Ghanatia Province in the later generations in the West. This battle had a profound impact on Western tactics. From then on, the West attached more importance to the construction and role of cavalry.
A few days later, Ma Chao led the Qin cavalry to retreat to the city of Cali, and the Roman army stopped in the Cappadocia province. The Cappadocia province was still hundreds of miles away from the Osreona province occupied by the Qin army, and there was a Sophina province. The reason why the Roman army stopped here was forced. Due to the ravages of the Qin cavalry, the central and eastern provinces of the thirteen eastern Roman provinces were severely damaged, and the supplies of the Roman army could not be supplied nearby, so they had to stop and wait for the supplies in the rear. The current strategic situation was extremely unfavorable to the Romans!
Zhao Yun punched Ma Chao in the chest hard, "Meng Qi, good job! This time, the Romans could not launch a counterattack in a short period of time!"
Ma Chao laughed, "This battle is so satisfying!"
~~~~~~~~~~
The two of them walked into the lobby of the capital while speaking, and the generals followed closely behind and greeted each other.
When entering the lobby, Zhao Yun said with some concern: "Meng Qi, although you fought very well in this battle, you are afraid you will be criticized by those self-proclaimed noble people in the court!"
The generals who accompanied Ma Chao to the Battle couldn't help but worry.
But Ma Chao said indifferently: "If you criticize me, just criticize me! I'm too lazy to pay attention to those guys!"
Zhao Yun smiled and said, "By the way, there is one thing that Your Majesty has left Luoyang a few days ago and is rushing towards this side!"
When the generals heard this, they couldn't help but look excited. Ma Chao asked anxiously: "Your Majesty is coming?"
Zhao Yun nodded, "Your Majesty is expected to arrive within half a month!"
"That's great! It seems that Your Majesty does not plan to end the war so easily!" Ma Chao said excitedly.
Zhao Yun nodded with a smile and frowned: "But I'm afraid that most of the treasury will be cut off again in this battle!"
Ma Chao laughed and said, "Zilong, I think you sometimes look like civil servants than military generals! We generals are just not in charge of financial matters, that's their civil servants' business!"
