Chapter 1402 cruel

"Sir, I'll go and fight!" A general asked for the battle.

Karensa shook his head and said calmly: "This man is a famous general in the Roman army. You are not his opponent! Besides, we just need to defend the city! There is no need to be foolishly one-on-one with them!" "Yes!"

Seeing that the other party ignored his clamor, Schneider ordered the army to attack. Hundreds of artillery bombarded the city, and the fireballs and smoke columns soared into the sky, and some rebel soldiers were thrown down from the city wall by shock waves.

"Sir, fire the gun and fight back!" General Barak couldn't help asking for instructions. At this time, a shell exploded nearby, and a burst of smoke and dust roared, and a crackling sound came from above. Everyone couldn't help but shrink their necks. Karensa asked calmly: "Has the enemy infantry attacked?" Barak replied: "Not yet!" Karensa said flatly: "Don't worry! When their infantry launches an attack, the artillery team will fire again!" "Yes!"

The artillery fire of the Roman army lasted for two quarters of an hour, and the artillery stopped. Then 30,000 soldiers of the 11th Roman Army rushed towards the city wall, with a very neat formation and pace. The Roman army was whirling while shouting, with a very imposing look, and the unique sound of the Roman army's drums lingered in the air.

Thirty thousand Roman assault troops advanced to a place only 150 steps away from the city wall. At this time, a sudden sound of cannons sounded in the city.

Roman general Schneider, who was watching the battle in the central army, couldn't help but frown.

The shells flipped through the city walls and roared into the Roman army. Huge explosions sounded one after another, and fireballs swept into the sky with earth and rocks in human bodies, screams one after another. The scene was very tragic.

"General, the enemy's artillery fire is too fierce. Should I withdraw it first?" a general asked for instructions.

"No!" Schneider said decisively. "Send the artillery team to bombard the enemy's artillery positions!"

"But their artillery position is in the city, so it is difficult for us to judge their position!" the general said in embarrassment.

"Let the artillery team judge based on experience! Go quickly!" "Yes!"

Then Schneider called a scout and asked him to find a way to explore the artillery positions of the rebels in the city. A moment later, a moving arrow tower was pushed to the front of the position, and the two scouts looked into the city on the arrow tower.

In a mountain forest more than thirty miles northwest of Dura Europos, tens of thousands of cavalry are hidden in this dense forest, but from a distance, the forest is as quiet as ever.

"General, Schneider's Roman army is attacking Dura Europos!" The scout reported. Several generals stood in front of him, and the head was Ma Chao, the general of the Qin Dynasty's expedition. A marching map made of cowhide was placed in front of the generals. The reason why the cowhide was made of cowhide was only because cowhide was not easy to damage.

Ma Chao looked at the map in front of him and asked, "Have you figured out the arrangement of the Roman army?"

The scout replied: "The Roman General Schneider led four legions to 200,000 Roman forces to attack Dura Europos! The other three main legions are stationed at the junction! The local security forces of 260,000 to 70,000 are stationed on several necessary roads in the Osreona Mountains and the city of Kari!" The city of Kari is actually the capital of the Osreona Province close to Assyria. The city is equivalent to the county government in the Central Plains at that time. The city walls are built of granite, but they are not high, and they are not as high as the gate tower. They have a large population and are complex in composition.

Ma Chao looked at the map for a moment and frowned slightly. "Where is the grain and grass? Where is the Roman army's grain and grass stock stored?"

The scout pointed to Kari City and said, "The Roman army's food and grass storage land is Kari! The garrison force is 30,000 local guards in the Russian-Roina province!"

"General, do you want to raid Kari?" General Ma Tie couldn't help asking.

Ma Chao said: "If we can sweep this place, the Roman army will have to retreat temporarily!"

"But general, the enemy guards all the necessary paths, and we have no chance at all!" Ma Tie frowned.

"What do you think?"

The iron fingers of the horse were at the junction of Assyria and the Ostra Roina province. "The temporary food storage area of ​​the Roman army is here! Although the Roman army has 150,000 heavy troops in this generation, it is a distance from here, and the Roman defenders here are less than 10,000! We can completely sweep the place!"

Ma Chao shook his head, "Winning here will be the most for Snyder's front-line army to starve for a day or two! After such a strike, the Roman army will definitely use heavy troops to escort food and grass, and our army will have no chance! In other words, sweeping here is not much use!" His eyes fell on Kari again, and he said decisively: "We must take Kari!" Ma Tie was shocked, "But general,~~~?" Ma Chao interrupted Ma Tie, "I know what you want to say! Since the Roman army blocked the necessary path, then we will clean them up!" There was a sense of arrogance in his tone.

Before the evening, Ma Chao led 50,000 cavalry of Canglang Camp to quietly arrive at a must-pass road in the Roina Mountains of Russia. This must-pass road is actually a gorge. The Romans built a wooden city wall at the entrance of the gorge, and nearly 50,000 guards defended here.

Ma Chao and several generals looked at the canyon on a hill outside the canyon. "General, the enemy's vigilance seems to be very high!" General Ma Tie frowned. Ma Chao nodded and murmured: "If I had known, I would have asked Karensa for some Roman uniforms!" At this moment, a general next to him pointed to the official road to the west and shouted softly: "General, look!" The sight between the official road and the canyon was separated by the hill where Ma Chao and the others were. Ma Chao looked along the direction of the general's finger and saw nearly a thousand Roman infantrymen moving towards the canyon slowly, looking very relaxed. Ma Chao smiled.

"Ruge, I heard that the war in Assyria is fierce!" A soldier walking on the official road said to his companion beside him, looking yearning for his face.

"What? Do you want to participate too?" Ruger smiled.

"Of course! What a desirable thing to kill enemies and make merit on the battlefield! Alas! I'm afraid that we local guards don't have such an opportunity!"

Ruge thought, "That's not necessarily true! I heard that the Qin army has arrived! If the regular army cannot withstand it, they will not rely on our local security forces!"

"You are wrong! Our Roman Empire's army is invincible!" He looked proud. In fact, most of the people in the Roman Empire are like him.

Ruger nodded with a smile, "You are right!"

Suddenly, the sound of buzzing the air was heard, and the two were stunned. Then the Roman soldier named Ruger suddenly fell to the ground. A sharp arrow penetrated his chest, and his eyes were blank. Almost at the same time, hundreds of Roman soldiers were shot to the ground by arrows flying out of the dense forest.

The Roman soldiers fled in panic, and arrows continued to shoot out of the dense forests on both sides of the road. The Roman soldiers were constantly being shot and killed on the spot.

Thousands of fierce cavalrymen rushed out of the dense forest, black clothes, black armor, black cloak, cold faces, and sharp horizontal swords.

The hundreds of remaining Roman soldiers subconsciously wanted to resist. However, they immediately found that they were so weak and powerless. The cavalry rushed past, and a sword flashed, and a head soared into the sky.

A quarter of an hour later, all resistance stopped, and more than a thousand Ross guards were killed, except for more than a hundred captured.

"General, more than a hundred prisoners were captured!" Ma Tie reported to Ma Chao.

Ma Chao said coldly: "We don't need prisoners!"

Ma Tie couldn't help but feel trembling, "General, what do you mean ~~!"

"Behead on the spot!"

Ma Tie was stunned and agreed to his promise with his fists.

The Roman soldier who was bragging with Ruger and other prisoners were taken to the official road and forced to kneel down. He subconsciously had an extremely bad premonition. More than a hundred cavalry of the Canglang Camp came to the prisoners on foot and raised the horizontal sword in his hands. At this moment, he suddenly felt that the Qin army in front of him were the most terrifying troops in the world! He couldn't help but scream, and at the same time, his head also landed on the ground!
