Chapter 1462 Attack

Just as Chen Chu urged the soldiers to attack Ekebatana day and night, the Roman Empress Julia was also urging the Roman army to attack Qinxifeng, guarded by Zhao Yun. At this time, the city of Qinxifeng was already full of holes, broken walls, and many places on the city walls had been collapsed by artillery fire. There were only a few broken pillars left in the city gate tower, and most of the houses in the city were seriously damaged, which was caused by the long-range firepower of the Roman army. The entire city wall was almost darkened by the smoke of gunpowder, mixed with thick dark red, which was shocking.

The Roman army shouted and rushed towards the city wall like a tide; soldiers on both sides fought bloody battles on the city wall, and the sound of killing was shocking; artillery shells flew into the city roaring into the city, stirring up dust and wreckage. The Qin army's artillery did not fight back, and perhaps they had lost all of them in the fierce battles during this period!

The fierce attack stopped in the evening, and the Karensa army immediately seized the time to clean the battlefield and repair the city walls as much as possible; the Qin army seized the time to rest to cope with the upcoming Roman attacks. Now, the rebels under Karensa have become laborers who clean the battlefield, and the task of fighting has almost completely fallen on the Qin army.

Zhao Yun and Karensa stood on the gate tower and looked at the noisy military camp of the Romans outside the city. Karensa frowned and said, "It seems that the Roman army will launch a strong attack soon!~~" Karensa's face was filled with sorrow. Zhao Yun said calmly: "I believe the Romans must be very tired, and they can hold on as long as they persist!" Karensa seemed to have insufficient confidence. This was not only because of the current unfavorable situation of the war, but also because several rebels in Jerusalem and Egypt were retreating step by step. Earlier today, Karensa received a related report. Seventy thousand rebels in Jerusalem had retreated into the city of Jerusalem and were surrounded by Roman legions, while more than one hundred thousand rebels in Egypt were also retreating step by step, and the situation was not optimistic.

Zhao Yun glanced at Karensa and said calmly: "Governor, you should be full of confidence in the prospects! For the Romans, there is no place for traitors like you!"

Karensa's heart was shocked, and a thought that had just arose disappeared without a trace. Karensa looked at Zhao Yun and smiled and said, "No need to remind General Zhao! I know very well!"

Zhao Yun turned his head and looked out of the city.

Half an hour later, the unique war drums and horns of the Roman army sounded again, and hundreds of thousands of Roman troops appeared in the sight of the city guards, like the surging tides of the sea, with a terrifying momentum, but the formation of the Romans seemed a bit casual.

Zhao Yun said to Zhang Ren, the general beside him: "The enemy is frivolous, there is a chance to take advantage of it! Immediately gather all the light cavalry and the Hun cavalry of the Fifth Army!" Zhang Ren was stunned, "General wants to attack!" Zhao Yun nodded, "Don't say much, go quickly!" "Yes! Zhang Ren Yingnui said and quickly stepped down the city wall.

"General, this formation seems to be a bit inappropriate!" A general said to the general with some concern. At this time, it was not Empress Julia or General Schneider who led the army to attack the city, but Terry, the most outstanding general under Schneider. The reason why Schneider asked Empress Julia to send Terry to lead the crowd to attack the city was actually to give Terry a chance to perform so as to promote him.

Terry said proudly: "At this moment, it is already rare to see the Qin army not collapsed. How can they lead the crowd to attack?! Even if they have this intention, they probably don't have the courage!~~"

Before Terry could finish his words, he saw Qinxifeng's gate open with a bang, and 40,000 cavalry roaring out from under the city gate. Terry couldn't help but be stunned, feeling as if he was slapped in the face. He said in a deep voice: "Hmph! I didn't expect to dare to come out and die! The two-wing cavalry intercepted them!"

Then 20,000 Roman cavalry attacked from the left and right wings to meet the Qin army.

The cavalry of both sides fought a war on a wasteland under the city gate. The soldiers of the light cavalry of the Fifth Legion had been holding back their energy and broke out at this time. As soon as they started fighting, they suppressed the absent-minded Roman cavalry. The Roman cavalry was frightened in the face of the surging Qin cavalry who were not afraid of death.

The Roman cavalry finally reacted, but it was too late at this time. The 20,000 Roman cavalry were completely destroyed by the torrent of the Qin cavalry.

The Qin army's iron cavalry defeated the Roman cavalry with one blow, and then rushed towards the Roman infantry front.

Terry was shocked when he saw this and quickly ordered the Shield Spearman to prepare for the battle. This Shield Spearman was equipped with a large round shield with a diameter of more than one meter and a spear nearly two meters long. He was wearing heavy armor and was very good at positional warfare. Even the Qin army's Tiger Roar Cavalry was unlikely to break through head-on. However, the defense line of the Roman army's Shield Spearman seemed very thin at this time, with only three thousand shield spearman defending the entire front line. The reason for this situation was entirely because of carelessness. Terry did not think that the Qin army would attack, so he only symbolically brought the three thousand shield spearman to fight, and the others were assault infantry who were good at attacking the city.

Forty thousand iron cavalry of the Qin army swept towards the Roman front, with a growing momentum and smoke and dust flying all over the sky. Faced with such a scene, the entire Roman army seemed a little nervous, but did not show any fear. After all, the main legion of the Roman army was the main legion!

The torrent formed by the Qin army's iron cavalry rushed to the front of the Roman military shield spearmen. Three thousand Roman military shield spearmen shouted in unison, bowing slightly, and holding the round shield with their shoulders. In the blink of an eye, the torrent of cavalry hit the Roman military shield spearmen, astonishing as the waves slammed the shore, which was extremely shocking. Nearly a hundred cavalry suddenly lost their horses and fell down, and more Roman shield spearmen were knocked away by a huge impact force.

The Qin army broke through the Roman military shield and spearheaded forces in one go, rushed into the Roman military formation, and rushed to the turbulent force.

Seeing that the entire Roman army was about to collapse, tens of thousands of Roman cavalry arrived in time. It turned out that Julia received relevant information when the Qin cavalry had just left the city. Julia, who was extremely afraid of the Qin army's combat power, immediately ordered the general Schneider to lead tens of thousands of elite cavalry to attack and at the same time ordered the Third Spartan Legion to attack.

Tens of thousands of elite Roman cavalry faced the attack wave of Qin cavalry, and the cavalry battle began. The iron cavalry of both sides roared and ran on the wasteland, fighting hard, smoke and dust stormed over the battlefield, blood and cold light shone together, and the roars were shaking. The scene was thrilling.

A Qin cavalry and a Roman cavalry rushed together. The two shouted and handed out the weapons in their hands. Then, blood appeared, and they fell from the war horses at the same time. At the same time, another Qin cavalry rushed past a Roman cavalry and slashed out with a sword. The heads of the Roman cavalry immediately soared into the sky. However, at this moment, another Roman cavalry rushed from one side and killed the Qin cavalry with one sword.

The tragic cavalry war lasted for nearly half an hour. Seeing that Zhao Yun would not get anything if he continued to fight, he ordered a retreat. The Qin cavalry immediately separated from the Roman cavalry and quickly retreated into the city.

The Roman cavalry chased the city gate and was beaten back by the rain of arrows on the city wall.

The Roman army tent. Terry knelt in the middle of the tent with a shame.

"How much is the loss in this battle?" Julia asked in a deep voice.

Terry replied: "The whole army lost 20,000 people!" The Roman army suffered nearly 20,000 casualties in this raid by the Qin army, nearly half of which were caused by the Qin army's breakthrough in the defense line of the Roman army's shield spearheads.

Julia suddenly arose, "That's not all! Today's mistake caused our military power to be frustrated! Terry, how should I punish you?"

Terry apologized and said, "I will be willing to apologize for death!" Terry is also a very responsible person!

"Very good! Come on, drag him out and behead me!!"

The generals were shocked, looked at each other, and knelt down and pleaded with each other.
