Next to the official road leading to Huashi City.
In a mountain forest.
All the 20,000 Roman Empire soldiers brought by Libius have arrived.
Libius took 20,000 people with him and took a detour from Suradha City to Huashi City, keeping his whereabouts secret along the way. Even if there is a shortage of food, if you want to snatch food from the local area to replenish it, you will not go to requisition or borrow food, but directly massacre the village, destroy the corpses, and steal all the food.
Only in this way will the whereabouts not be revealed.
In order to make it easier for him to inquire about the situation in various places and understand local news, Libius specially brought several Tianzhu people who had surrendered to Surada City.
These people have all benefited.
It was Libius who won over him.
Libius is still waiting for the Tianzhu people who have arranged to go out to inquire about the news. Although he is close to Huashi City, because he doesn't know much about the situation, he first arranges for people to go over and understand the situation.
While Libius was waiting, suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps.
I saw five Tianzhu people coming back with stern looks.
One of the leaders, King Kongzhi, a Tianzhu man, came over, came to Libius's side, and said, "General Libius, we went to investigate the situation in Fahrenheit City, and we have a general understanding of it."
Libius said: "Tell me what the current situation is."
Jingangzhi said: "Reporting to the general, there is indeed no army in Huashi City now. We asked the local people and they said that the Ming Emperor Lu Xuan personally led the army to leave in order to resist the invading Roman Empire army. .”
"It's just that after Lu Xuan left, the four city gates were under martial law, a little stricter."
"The specific reason is that they are worried about the Brahmin and Kshatriya rebellion, because before that, Xun Yu, the general manager of Xiangzhou, was assassinated."
"Now, the investigation is very strict."
Jingangzhi said quickly: "To capture Fahrenheit City, we must launch a surprise attack. As long as we enter the city, we can seize the city. Because now, although there are still some defensive forces in Fahrenheit City, they cannot stop us."
Libius nodded and said in approval: "Vajra Zhi, according to my previous promise. As long as you capture Huashi City this time, you will be allowed to build a temple again and become the top Brahmin. Others, It will also be arranged in sequence.”
King Kong Zhi lowered his head and saluted, saying, "Thank you, General."
Libius waved his hand and said: "Go down and rest. We will take action again tomorrow morning."
King Kongzhi left with a few Tianzhu people, and Libius quickly thought about the strategy to attack the city. After thinking about it for a while, he decided on a plan. It didn't need to be too complicated. He just needed to wait until early tomorrow morning and let King Kong Zhi and the others go to the city first.
Then, he led his men to kill them suddenly. When the Ming army at the gate of the city was about to shout and block the attack, Jingang Zhi and others immediately came back to respond, delaying a little time.
Early in the morning, there was no one at the city gate.
In the morning, the soldiers on patrol will definitely be caught off guard and rush into the city.
As long as we enter the city, everything will be easier.
After Libius made up his mind, he stopped thinking about it and went to bed early at night.
The next day, early in the morning.
Early in the morning, Libius took his people to the vicinity of the south city of Fahrenheit City, and everyone hid. This time we were going to attack with infantry at the rear and a group of cavalry at the front.
This time coming from the city of Surato, Libius did not have many cavalry, only more than 600 people.
Libius's plan was to charge with the cavalry, cooperate with Kongzhi and others inside and outside, and the subsequent army would follow the cavalry and rush into the city to seize the city.
Once we take the city, it will be easier.
Libius waved his hand, and King Kong Zhi and others had already moved forward. They pushed the wooden cart and entered the city smoothly.
"The first step is done, rush!"
Libius ordered loudly.
He took the lead, patted the horse on the back, and already galloped out.
Behind Libius, six hundred cavalry followed, rumbling towards the city gate. At this moment, the soldiers standing guard at the city gate had already noticed something was wrong. They shouted loudly that the enemy was attacking, and at the same time quickly retreated into the city.
After seeing this, Jingangzhi knew that he had to respond and that his opportunity had come. He pulled out the knife from under the wooden cart and shouted loudly: "Come on, today is the time for us to take back Huashi City."
He came back with four Tianzhu people.
However, when they met the returning guard soldiers, they were all elite soldiers under Gao Shun's command, and they were all veterans who had been on the battlefield for a long time.
A sword quickly came out.
Phew! Phew!
The blade kept falling, landing on the bodies of Jingang Zhi and others. When they met, everyone was killed.
The only problem was that the retreat was a little late.
Everyone retreated into the city, and Libius had already led his cavalry to the city gate. He didn't even glance at Kongzhi and the others. For Libius, the only thing he cared about was whether he could capture the city.
If Vajra Zhi dies, then replace him with someone else.
Today, we want to control the city.
Libius said loudly: "Control the city gate, don't rush forward, wait for the army."
A large number of cavalry entered the city and quickly formed a formation at the city gate. Libius was very anxious because he saw shouts of killing coming from the city and a large number of defenders coming to fight. The war was already coming.
"Faster, faster."
Libius ordered loudly.
Under the shouts of Libius, more and more infantrymen rushed over. In a blink of an eye, they had reached the city gate and started to join the cavalry.
The two sides joined forces and sprinted further.
A large number of troops charged into the city. At the same time, the garrison in the city also came up to fight. The two sides fought at the city gate.
Libius loudly encouraged the soldiers to attack, and even ordered the city to be captured and allowed to be plundered by the soldiers. Under the powerful commendation, the soldiers under Libius broke out with tyrannical fighting power, and the Ming army that blocked them retreated steadily, looking helpless.
Libius was extremely excited.
Done!
He entered the city.
As Libius continued to attack the city, the garrison in the city retreated step by step and was no longer able to resist.
This situation fell into the eyes of Xun Yu and Lu Su who were watching the fighting below.
The two seemed very calm.
There was no panic at all.
Lu Su looked outside the city and saw a large number of soldiers entering the city. Only a few people were still fighting. He had a smile on his face and said: "Brother Wen Ruo, it's time to start a war. A large-scale war." When people enter the city, it’s almost time to catch the turtle in the urn.”
"right!"
Xun Yu also nodded.
He looked expectantly and said loudly: "Send the order, lower the thousand-jin gate, and seal the city gates in all directions."
In the past, Fahrenheit City did not have a thousand-jin gate or even a moat. It was just a city without any technological content. Xun Yu came to Huashi City to take charge of the situation. He not only used the river near Huashi City to dig out the river, but also dug a moat.
In addition, everything such as a thousand-jin gate is equipped.
Everything is different.
The entire Fahrenheit City is more solid. If Xun Yu really wants to defend, even if he only has more than 10,000 people with Gao Shun, as long as he knows the news that Libius is coming to kill him, and Libius only takes defense, There is no way to break it.
It's just that Xun Yu and Lu Su want to take the initiative to take down Libius.
Boom! !
The tower's gate began to fall.
boom! !
The Thousand Jin Gate fell to the ground and completely blocked the road. Although there were still a few hundred Roman soldiers blocked outside, these people did not enter in time. For Xun Yu and Lu Su, it no longer affected the overall situation.
For them, just take down most of the Roman soldiers.
Libius was leading the charge and had already rushed into the city, preparing to charge into the inner city. His goal was the city lord's palace and the place where the emperor lived, to capture the emperor's woman, and then to kill the Ming officials in the city.
It was just the sound of the Thousand Jin Gate falling, and the moment the Thousand Jin Gate fell to the ground, the ground trembled, and Libius also felt it.
Libius looked back and saw the situation behind him in an instant.
His heart skipped a beat.
Had a bad premonition.
Although Libius does not have enough battlefield experience, he is not the best at leading troops in battle. However, Libius himself is smart and knows how to protect himself wisely and protect his own safety.
Therefore, Libius safely escaped from the battlefield in several previous battles.
Now, Libius also had a premonition that something bad was going to happen.
However, the way back was cut off, so he could only rush forward, capture everything in the city, sweep across the Ming army and the Ming forces in the city, even if the way back was cut off, it would not be affected.
"Kill, kill in!"
Libius shouted loudly.
Under the leadership of Libius, their six hundred cavalry rushed at the front, followed by a large number of infantry. Nearly 20,000 infantry spread throughout the streets of the city. They were densely packed and the number of people was very large.
At first glance, they were all black heads.
Its offensive was very ferocious.
Libius led the charge. When he continued to go north along the street, after walking for a while, he suddenly found that the front was empty. Libius' pupils shrank.
On the street ahead, an army wearing armor appeared, all wrapped together.
This army, armed with long spears, formed an orderly formation.
A chilling air filled the air.
Gao Shun led his men at the forefront of the trapped camp. He looked at the Roman cavalry coming toward his area and shouted: "Archers, shoot your arrows!"
Behind the spear formation formed by the trapped camp, archers drew their bows and set arrows diagonally towards the sky in front.
The arrow with a cold light was pointed forward.
call out! call out! !
Dense rain-like bows and arrows broke through the air, hanging sharply in the air, passing over the heads of the trapped camp, falling densely like raindrops, and began to shoot down on the crowd of Roman soldiers.
The sound of the bow and arrow entering flesh could be heard.
A large number of Roman soldiers fell and screamed.
On a vast battlefield, indiscriminate shooting would at most be used to disrupt the enemy's formation. The damage would not be too great because there is no accuracy. However, although the street in front of me is wide and there are open areas around it, the problem is that no matter how empty it is, it is not as empty as the wild areas.
When a large number of people gather together, they become a living target.
Bows and arrows fired randomly can hit people.
The expressions on the faces of the Roman soldiers were all panic, and they kept running around. A large number of people rushed down in disorder, causing the Roman soldiers who were steadily advancing forward to become chaotic and constantly crowded.
So much so that some people in the crowd were so crowded that they fell to the ground and were trampled on.
Many soldiers were trampled to death.
When Libius saw this scene, his cheeks twitched, his heart was more nervous than ever, and his heart was more urgent than ever. He gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: "Charge, rush over quickly. The only army in the city is the army in front. Rush over immediately, kill the enemies in front, and overwhelm them."
After Libius gave the order, the cavalry rushed forward.
Many infantrymen rushed forward.
However, Libius changed his previous situation of rushing to the front and no longer charged fiercely. Instead, he hid behind the cavalry and infantry.
Only in this way can you protect your own safety.
The charging cavalry at the front was getting closer and closer to the trapped camp.
Gao Shun is at the front.
He led the trapped camp and sat down, as he always did. When he saw the cavalry rushing over, and the moment the distance closed, Gao Shun decisively ordered: "Shield soldiers, stand up the shield. Spear soldiers, stab!"
The spear in his hand also thrust out violently.
Long spears were quickly thrust out of the air.
At the same time, the soldiers in the front row all raised their shields to block, blocking the attack from all directions.
With the full cooperation of the pikemen and shield soldiers, the pikemen are responsible for killing the charging horses and cavalry, while the shields are responsible for resisting the charging force of the horses. Under the fierce attack of the two forces, the offensive of Libius's cavalry was blocked.
The cavalry could not break through the trapped camp.
The trapped camp was defended impeccably, and the spears killed with great ferocity, massacring a large number of Roman soldiers.
The trapped camp is still advancing forward.
Move forward steadily and slaughter the Roman soldiers steadily.
Libius was stunned when he saw this. He led the cavalry into the battle. If he encountered the same cavalry and couldn't break through, then that would be fine. The problem is, now when we encounter a spear formation, we are defeated by the opponent.
Libius was unhappy in his heart.
He gritted his teeth and ordered to stop.
Unfortunately, even though the order was sent out, his infantry and cavalry at the forefront kept retreating and were completely unable to resist.
Libius was so anxious that he didn't know what to do.
He licked his chapped lips and looked around. He saw some streets behind him. There were streets to the left and right, as well as streets leading to other directions. These could allow soldiers to avoid them.
The only drawback was that once they hid in the streets, the army completely dispersed.
The army lost its cohesion.
Libius thought for a while, quickly made a decision, and said loudly: "Disperse, everyone disperses, no longer gathers, and enters the surrounding streets. Let's leave the South City first and all go to the North City."
The messenger received the order and loudly ordered: "Quickly retreat into the nearby streets, spread out and go north, and gather in Beicheng."
"Retreat into the streets and gather in Beicheng."
A large number of Roman soldiers shouted loudly.
The Roman soldiers who had gathered together heard the shouting, retreated one after another, and began to rush into the nearby streets.
