For a moment, the expressions of Joel Bolin and his subordinates froze in place, and they couldn't laugh anymore.

"Release the arrows!" Xu Ding gave another order, and thousands of archers shot out thousands of bows and arrows.

At this time, the charge was affected due to the falling of the front, and the delayed Roman cavalry became living targets.

The flying arrows instantly took the lives of many people and horses.

There are countless people who fall from the horse at one time.

"Shooting!" Xu Ding continued: "The spearmen attack!"

The command flag was waved, Curbi received the order, and with a roar, he led the spearmen and rushed towards the enemy cavalry.

Shopping around, he didn't expect that the little barbed caltrops would be so powerful, and he stopped the enemy's horse. He was overjoyed at the moment, and then rushed forward, stabbing an enemy horse off his horse with a spear.

The spearmen behind them were not to be outdone, and finally overcame their fear. As soon as they sent their spears, one or more people dealt with the Roman knights.

With a gun, they all stabbed off the horse one by one.

The battle between the cavalry and the spearmen was mixed together, and the soldiers on both sides heard a miserable howl.

In the end, the people in the last column of the Roman cavalry saw something wrong and urged their horses to turn around and run back to their army.

The rest who did not run away were basically stabbed to death.

Huobi hurriedly organized his men to return the captured war horses to the rear.

This small victory directly helped Xu Ding capture more than 300 horses.

Xu Ding immediately asked the cavalry without horses to take down the equipment of the Roman army, then get on their horses and join the cavalry sequence.

Joel Bolin here was stunned.

The cavalry on one's own side was killed and failed in this way.

This is too fast.

It's not what they thought at all.

"My lord governor, what... what should I do next?" One of his subordinates asked Joel Bolin, who hadn't recovered from his daze.

Joel Bolin came back to his senses after being asked about the clothes, took a deep breath and said: "The Ninth Legion is attacking, and the auxiliary legion is advancing from the rear. The loser is the enemy who slipped through the net."

"It's the governor." A subordinate replied.

The Ninth Legion belongs to the standing legion and is organized by the empire.

The Auxiliary Legion is a local peacekeeping force in the Macedonian province, responsible for assisting the standing army in combat.

The two forces joined together to form the Combined Legion.

Following the command of the commander of the army, the phalanxes with the brigade as the unit moved forward flexibly and orderly.

It has to be said that the phalanx of the Roman army is more convenient and flexible than that of the famous Macedonian.

They use the brigade as the basic unit of operations, but they can be combined into a large formation, or they can fight independently to form a small formation.

On the opposite side, different enemies and different terrains change from time to time.

This is a major feature and advantage of the Roman army.

Coupled with the huge population base of the Roman Empire, they were invincible in battles with various Western nations.

So this is the same as the big Han in the east, with a huge population advantage, which can crush the barbarians around.

Even in the case of the loss of the main force, a large army can be pulled up quickly, which can continuously supplement the battle.

So at this time of war, no matter whether it is the East or the West, the essence is to fight for population, money and food.

Population is the most critical factor in the development of a country.

Facing the real Roman army, the phalanx began to move and pressed over.

Xu Ding glanced at the two wings, and then made a new decision.

"All the cavalry followed me to attack the enemy on the right flank, the spearmen followed, the sword soldiers followed, the archers were in the middle, and the shield soldiers were behind, and attacked the enemy on the right flank with all their strength, together with me we defeated this group of enemies and drove them to the middle." Xu Dingran I also saw the difference between the strength and weakness of the Roman army.

The enemies on the flanks are visibly disorganized and poorly armed.

Whether it is the flag or the spiritual outlook of the army on the front, there is a big gap with the two wings.

He guessed that this was the standing Roman army, and its combat effectiveness should be the strongest.

Because if he came to set up the formation, he would put the strongest army on the front, break through in the middle, and encircle the two wings.

However, the opponent's strategy is correct, and the mistake lies in being impatient. In order to cooperate with the cavalry, the enemies on the two wings came out first.

So it was a good opportunity, Xu Ding seized the opportunity, and 6000 troops rushed directly to the right wing.

It's better to hit a game than to get beaten.

At this time Xu Ding has [-] riders, although they are all amateurs and have not practiced much.

However, many of them are also captives from the northern ethnic group, and their horse skills are not bad.

Besides, the Roman army had no cavalry to fight against it now, so Xu Ding took the lead and charged into the enemy army wielding the spear he had made.

"Let the arrows! Let the arrows..."

Commanding the right-wing army was a big slave owner, and when he saw the cavalry of the rebel army rushing towards him, he hurriedly shouted.

The subordinates shot arrows in a hurry to stop them.

Xu Ding waved his long spear, blocked a wave of arrows, and then charged forward with his horse, the horse stomped on it, and rushed directly into it.

Suddenly several soldiers flew upside down.

Then Xu Ding swung his gun to sweep away the blood, and several people fell to the ground howling.

"Death!" Stabbing left and right, Xu Ding shot frequently, and no one could stop him, all of them died under his gun.

Although the five hundred riders behind them couldn't keep up with the rhythm, dozens of people died under a wave of arrow rain, but they still rushed into the gap and killed them.

Cavalry has an advantage over infantry.

Especially for these miscellaneous troops, the weapons are all light infantry equipment, how can they stop the cavalry.

"kill!"
