Chapter 1517 Roman storm

The general led 5,000 light cavalry to the scene, and saw the wreckage of artillery everywhere, and the Qin army had long disappeared. The generals couldn't help but feel distressed and angry. Artillery is definitely a precious weapon and equipment in this era, and these nearly 100 artillery pieces were a considerable loss!

The general immediately ordered three thousand-man teams to be alert around, and then ordered two other thousand-man teams to check the losses.

After a moment, his subordinates brought him good news. Among the more than 120 artillery pieces, less than half were actually destroyed and could not be used. The other half were just the bases more or less destroyed! The general was overjoyed and quickly sent someone to report to Lielund, and at the same time sent someone to transport the cannons that could still be used to the front line.

One hour later, more than 60 artillery pieces were transported to the front.

Lielund felt a little thankful in his annoyance. Lielund ordered the army to launch an attack immediately.

The unique Roman drums sounded loudly, and more than 60 artillery pieces were pushed forward. Then the two sides fired each other with artillery. The battlefield was filled with smoke and loud noises. The fence hit by the shells collapsed, and soldiers on both sides were blown into the air by the power of artillery.

The artillery battle lasted for half an hour, and the fence on the front of the entire Qin army's land camp was shattered. However, more than 60 Roman artillery pieces were destroyed by the Qin army's artillery fire.

The Roman army stopped shelling and then launched an attack with the strength of an infantry team of ten thousand people.

The Qin army stopped it with fierce artillery fire, but this did not stop the Roman army from advancing.

The Roman army rushed to the Qin army camp with a roar. At this time, the trumpet of the Qin army camp sounded, and the Qin army, who had been waiting, shot with bows and crossbows.

As the arrow rained, the Roman soldiers were shot to the ground one after another.

After the three-wheeled arrow rain, the Roman soldiers were approaching. The Qin soldiers dropped the crossbow in their hands, pulled out the battle knife, and shouted to meet them. The soldiers on both sides collided with each other like a torrent of rushing waves. Then, the sound of killing sounded and blood was flying all over the sky, and the soldiers on both sides sacrificed their lives to fight.

The Qin soldiers cut a Roman soldier with one sword, and then they were cut down by another Roman soldier. The Roman soldier was pierced through the chest by the Qin soldiers. The Roman soldier held his last breath and slashed the Qin soldiers' shoulders. Then the two fell down at the same time. A Qin soldier cut off his right arm by the Roman soldier. He roared angrily, hugged the Roman soldier's body with his left arm and fell into a trench full of spikes. The general of the 8th Legion of the Qin Army

The fighting will shown by the soldiers at this time was completely different from that of the past. In terms of this fighting will alone, it is no longer weaker than the main force of the Qin army. This is mainly because the Eighth Legion now is no longer the Yuan Shao army surrendered, and the original ones have long been retired. The current Eighth Legion soldiers are full of passion and fresh blood. In addition, the grassroots officers promoted from the First and Second Legions, so the Eighth Legion will have a new look.

A general around Lielunde said in surprise: "It is said that the Eighth Legion is the weakest main force of the Qin army! But~~~"

Lielunde said calmly: "The weakest combat power is only relative to it! But our Eighth Legion is not worse than them!" The general nodded, pursed his lips tightly, held the knife handle tightly with his palms, and looked passionate.

The Qin army infantry and the Roman army fought to the death near the gate. The bloody rain was everywhere, and the sound of killing was shocking the sky, and the eyes were full of tragic scenes. At the same time, the Qin army artillery bombarded the Roman army. A shell roared into the Roman army, and immediately pushed more than a dozen Roman soldiers into the sky. The scene was really spectacular. The Roman artillery could not shoot the Qin army due to various problems such as shooting angle and distance, so they had to attack surrounding targets, and the effect was not ideal. The Qin army's artillery did not shoot the Romans because the artillery could not shoot the Romans in this place.

The fierce battle lasted for a whole hour, and the exhausted and suffered heavy casualties retreated. At this time, the size of the Romans was half smaller than when they launched the attack, nearly 5,000 soldiers were killed on the battlefield, and the Qin army also paid a heavy price of 4,000 people killed.

Immediately afterwards, another Roman team of ten thousand people began to attack. The same fierce battle lasted for nearly an hour, and the Roman army, which had suffered heavy losses, retreated. At this time, a ten thousand people of the Eighth Legion of the Qin Army had lost nearly eight thousand people and had almost lost its combat effectiveness. At present, the Qin army had only one ten thousand people of the Eighth Legion and ten thousand naval soldiers here.

Lielund didn't know about this situation. He felt that it was really not a solution to continue like this, so he ordered the attack to be temporarily stopped. At this time, Lielund didn't know that it was his decision that changed the result of the war.

Seeing that the Roman army stopped the attack, all the Qin soldiers couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Zhou Tai immediately drew naval troops from all over the place to the frontal land defense line as much as possible, and at the same time ordered all the army artillery to be concentrated.

Zhou Tai asked the messenger beside him and said, "Is there any news about General Gan Ning?"

The messenger shook his head, "Not yet!"

Zhou Tai frowned, muttered in a low voice, and ordered: "Immediately send a message to General Gan Ning to explain the situation here!"

On the other side, Lielund and his generals entered the tent.

A general said worriedly: "From today's situation, it is probably not an easy thing for our army to capture the Qin army's camp!"

The generals couldn't help but show their worries, and another general said: "If we continue to develop accordingly, our army will not be able to capture the Qin army base even if we fight all! You must know that the Qin army has a total of 50,000 troops here!"

Lielunde thought, "You are right! It seems that we underestimated the combat effectiveness of the Qin army's garrison power before!" He frowned, "The most troublesome thing now is artillery! Our artillery is not as much as them, and now we have lost a large number of them! The disadvantage in this is even more obvious!"

"God General! Are we also transferring the Egyptian security forces?" a general suggested.

Lielund thought for a moment, "Don't hurry! Let's wait for news from Trelle!"

As soon as Lielund finished speaking, a messenger ran in from outside and reported to the report: "God of General, General Trek's flying pigeon passes the letter!"

Lielund hurriedly took it over, looked it quickly, frowned.

The surrounding generals couldn't help but feel nervous when they saw this. One general couldn't help but ask: "God General, is something happened?"

Lielunde shook his head and said with a lustful look: "It's not that something happened, but nothing happened!~~" The generals were stunned. Lielunde said: "~~. The main force of the Qin Navy did not appear from beginning to end!" Lielunde's heart suddenly moved and said with a pale face: "The main force of the Qin Navy may go to our outpost!"

As soon as these words were said, those present couldn't help but feel horrified. You know, at present, there are only a few thousand Egyptian garrison guards at the Roman naval outpost. The Egyptian garrison originally had 50,000, but there were only a few thousand people at the naval outpost.

"What should I do now? Go back to help immediately?" a general said anxiously.

Lielund calmed down and thought, "If the army wants to return to the aid, it will take at least two days to arrive. Everything is already a foregone conclusion! The messenger will immediately lead the main force of the navy to return to the aid!" "Yes!" The messenger Yingnuo and ran out of the tent.

Not long after, Trekor on the sea received a letter from Lielund's flying pigeon and immediately ordered the fleet to retreat.

Seeing this scene, Zhou Tai couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"General, why are they leaving?" the general asked in surprise.
