Chapter 1555 Lead the snake out of the hole
Schneider led an army of 120,000 to rush out of the city and rushed straight towards the front of the Qin First Legion. He wanted to cooperate with Perrit's army to defeat the Qin First Legion and took Perrit's army into the city.
The 120,000 army crashed into the Qin army's tower shield front like a tide. To the Romans expected, the Qin army's tower shield front, which originally thought was very strong, collapsed instantly. The collapsed Qin army quickly retreated to a tower shield front behind.
However, before the Romans cheered for their achievements, dozens of small artillery pieces of the Qin army suddenly appeared in front of the Romans.
Seeing this scene, Schneider couldn't help but feel a very bad feeling.
Before Schneider's thoughts could be completed, a fire flashed in front of him, and then a solid shell passed through the Roman army, and many Roman soldiers were knocked away.
The Roman army immediately became chaotic.
Schneider quickly shouted: "The whole army attacks! Those who retreat die, and those who advance will be rewarded!"
The Roman army quickly stabilized and rushed towards the Qin army's front. At this moment, another wave of artillery shells roared, and hundreds of Roman soldiers flew into the sky. The formation of the Roman army became even more chaotic.
At the same time, Ma Chao led 20,000 Canglang Camp iron cavalry to appear suddenly, and in one go, he killed the 20,000 Roman troops guarding near the city gate to a defeat. The general of the city gate was worried that the city gate would be in trouble, so he hurriedly ordered the city gate to close.
Ma Chao led the Iron Cavalry of Lyon Wancang Wolf Camp roaring towards Schneider's rear.
Schneider discovered this situation and quickly ordered the army to stop attacking and arrange the array on the spot. Nearly 100,000 troops immediately felt at a loss and in chaos. At this moment, the Qin army's tower shield line dispersed, and five thousand powerful warriors wearing black fully enclosed heavy armor accompanied the black cloak to run out in a row in a row and rushed towards Schneider's army. These heavy armored warriors were not ordinary soldiers, but iron-blooded elites, Modao Army, and their auras were changed.
It is as majestic as a mountain. The Modao Army is now different from the previous ones. They are wearing the double-layer heavy armor newly developed by the Wushu Institute. The double-layer heavy armor is divided into two layers. The first layer is steel plate armor, and the inner layer is mail. Ordinary swords and arrows cannot hurt it at all. The Modao Army in their hands has also been improved, with a lighter weight, but sharper. The shape of the Modao Army is more reasonable and more conducive to chopping. The Modao Army can definitely be called a human weapon.
When the Roman soldiers saw these strange sword soldiers like mountains, they were shocked and subconsciously felt fear. Schneider first came to his senses and immediately ordered the crossbowman to shoot.
However, the scene that followed shocked everyone! The rain of arrows as dense as locusts hit the heavy armor of the Mo Dao Army. The scene seemed to shoot on stones one by one, and the Mo Dao Army was completely damaged. All the Roman soldiers were stunned.
Just when the Roman soldiers were stunned, Ma Chao led 20,000 Canglang Camp iron cavalry to crash into the Roman army's front. The Canglang Camp iron cavalry broke through the Roman army's front with one go and broke into the formation. However, the Roman army formation was too close. Thousands of swords, shields, and shields and spears were side by side, really like a blocked wall. Although the Qin army's Canglang Camp iron cavalry had amazing charge power, it was difficult to penetrate such a military formation.
Ma Chao decisively ordered to leave contact.
At the same time, 100,000 Xianbei cavalry had launched a fierce attack on Perrit's Roman army. Tens of thousands of iron cavalry poured into the already chaotic Roman army front. The First Legion began to counterattack.
Soon, the two newly formed legions under Perrit were completely in chaos. Under the surging and wild attack of the Xianbei cavalry, they were like flocks driven away by wolves. The Spartan legion struggled to resist, but under the Qin army's tsunami-like offensive, they were afraid that they would not be able to resist for long.
On the other hand, the five thousand Qin army's Modao Army and the ten thousand Spartan soldiers fought fiercely. The soldiers of the ten thousand Spartan army were not the same as those under Perrit. Perrit was under the fifth Spartan army, which was only formed recently, and the fourth Spartan army's first Qin army's Modao Army, which was a true elite, and the combat power of these two Spartan army's combat forces was still very different.
The Spartan Legion pushed the Modao front with the traditional shield wall, but this tactic was of no use for the tower-like Modao Army. The Modao Army shouted suddenly, like a thunder blew up, and the Spartan Legion subconsciously took a step back. The Modao Army in the front row danced Modao at the same time, and saw a cold light flashing on the sword wheel. The heavy Modao suddenly cut off the giant shield in the hands of the Spartan soldiers, and cut off the Spartan soldiers' arms. Spartan would only feel a huge force that was turned to the ground, and quickly retreated with his broken arm. Although the pain was so painful that he was sweating profusely, no one moaned and shouted. The willpower of these Spartan Legion soldiers was still very admirable.
The Modao Army waved Modao forward step by step, and the Spartan Legion was beaten backwards step by step, but there was no power to fight back. One after another, the Spartan Legion soldiers fell to the ground with blood, but the spear in the hands of the Spartan Legion could not pierce the heavy armor of the Modao Army.
Schneider's face was pale. He had never expected that the Qin army, the elite soldiers wearing heavy armor, would be so powerful. Five thousand people actually killed ten thousand Spartan warriors from their own side and retreated step by step. The other Roman soldiers who saw this scene were also in the same mood.
The Modao Army killed nearly 5,000 Spartan warriors in less than half an hour, and the brave Spartan warriors were also scared.
At this time, Ma Chao led 20,000 cavalry of Canglang Camp to attack Schneider's army here. After the frightened Roman army broke through the first line by the Qin army, they began to collapse. The defeated army ran towards the city gate, and no matter how Schneider shouted, it would have no effect.
"Your Excellency General, let's run away!" a general persuaded urgently.
Schneider slashed the general to the ground with a knife, and his eyes roared: "No! I will never retreat!"
However, his will alone could not turn the situation around. The Romans completely collapsed under the impact of the iron cavalry of the Canglang Camp of the Qin army and the collapsed army on their side, and fled in a hurry toward the city gate. The remaining thousands of Spartan warriors were surrounded by the fleeing crowd with a confused look on their faces.
At the same time, the Xianbei Legion and the First Legion completely defeated Perrit's army, and fled around like a headless fly.
The Roman soldiers on the city wall looked at the scene and murmured palely: "It's over! It's over!"
"General, we must go out of the city to save them!" An officer said anxiously to the general standing on the city gate tower. "No! If the Qin army rushed in, we will be all done!"
The Roman soldiers in the city watched helplessly as their army was strangled by hundreds of thousands of Qin troops. Corpses were everywhere on the battlefield, and the Romans were strewn with layers of corpses, which were shocking. Thrilling and desperate screams sounded from time to time, and some fearless Roman soldiers resisted in vain under the Qin army's encirclement. At this time, Schneider, the Assyrian general, sat in a hanging basket and was dragged up to the city wall by his soldiers. Schneider came to the city wall, looked at the miserable scene outside the city, couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood, pulled out his sword and wanted to commit suicide. Fortunately, his subordinates stopped it in time. He was finally able to escape from the 200,000 army.
As the sun sets, the originally noisy battlefield has quieted down. More than 100,000 Qin troops are cleaning the battlefield. Tens of thousands of prisoners are walking towards the Qin army camp with a blank expression under the escort of the Qin army. The Qin soldiers looked very excited and wished they could attack Dura Europos immediately.
