With this thing, you are real cavalry warriors, you can fight wherever you want, and you can fight as you want. "Xu Ding urged the horse back and encouraged everyone.
Everyone was also excited, and then put saddles and stirrups on their horses one after another.
Help each other, and soon Erduoqi will get it done.
"Let's go!" Xu Ding was still in front, patted the horse and walked away, and everyone quickly adapted to the new thing, urging the horse to follow.
As soon as they ran, everyone discovered the excellent benefits of the saddle and stirrups, and they were all overjoyed.
Not cavalry you never know that kind of cry.
Saddle and stirrups can not only strengthen the combat effectiveness of cavalry, but also a kind of protection for cavalry.
Before these two things, training alone was a terrible thing, and people often fell off their horses, injured themselves and died because of this.
This is a very uncontrollable element.
After the Middle Ages, the Northern Huns brought saddles and stirrups from the East, reforming the Western world in one fell swoop, which made Western knights the main force and real cavalry.
When rushing to the city of Durrakium, Xu Ding called up his circle of friends from time to time to check Meng Yu's news. News, this is a lot of peace of mind.
So when approaching the city of Durrakium, he finally slowed down the cavalry.
After a high-intensity march, more than 200 rides are exhausting.
At this time, when you go into battle, you won't be able to exert much combat power at all.
After finding a place to rest, Xu Ding went out alone to investigate the enemy's situation.
Durrakium is a harbor city, facing the sea in the west and east, and a long and narrow coast in the southeast.
A road built along the coast leads to the province of Epirus, so there are not many Roman troops here.
Because this side cannot camp and garrison on a large scale.
To the north of Durrakium, there is a relatively flat and open land, which is suitable for planting, and it is the supply place for Durrakium's local food and vegetables.
It was just right for the Roman army to camp.
All frontal attacks of the Roman army were carried out from the north.
After staring at the Roman camp from a distance, Xu Ding couldn't help showing a sneer, and the corner of his mouth curled up.
I don't know if it is the habit of the Romans, or they have never been hurt by the impact of good cavalry, or they don't think anyone here would dare to attack them.
So their camp was very messy, not as neat as the big man's.
Moreover, there is no fence in the camp, and there are no protective measures at all.
This was an eye-opener for Xu Ding.
This is the Roman Empire known as the West without a pen. This camp is as good as a kindergarten child, which really made him amazed.
Quietly retreating, Xu Ding has been thinking about the night attack plan.
He approached several centurions from the cavalry department and asked, "Have you ever fought a night battle?"
Several centurions shook their heads.
"Does the Roman army usually fight at night?" Xu Ding asked again.
Several centurions used their brains, and finally shook their heads and replied: "Commander, who knows how to fight at night, it's pitch black, you can't see anything, how to fight."
Sure enough, night blindness is the same in East and West.
The situation is worse in the West, because Westerners don't eat offal, and night blindness is worse.
Fortunately, after Xu Ding came out of Rome, he consciously trained his bodyguards to eat offal, even if they refused, he forced them to order it.
Especially after he slightly improved the cooking method, the guards did not refuse much.
And the cavalry is his foundation, but whenever he stops, he will not order the army to collect animal offal, and let them eat it on the grounds of supplementing nutrition for the cavalry.
Therefore, although the night blindness of cavalry officers and soldiers has not been completely eliminated, it has improved to some extent.
"Okay! Since no one is fighting at night, let's fight tonight to let the Romans know what a ghost is." Opportunities are for those who are prepared. Xu Ding felt that this was so true, and stayed until late at night. , Xu Ding asked his men to wrap the horse's feet with cloth, tied the horse's mouth, and then quietly approached the camp of the Roman army.
During the day, Xu Ding roughly estimated that the Romans stationed in the north had about two legions.
However, seeing that the equipment is not a standing army, this probably confuses him.
The chasing Roman army was not the most elite legion, which was a bit surprising, and at the same time, I understood why Meng Yu could persist for so long.
Of course, this was not the time for him to think about these things. The horses approached the Roman camp, and the patrolling Roman soldiers were very slack. They could still be on duty honestly in the first half of the night, but when they got sleepy in the second half of the night, they immediately found a place and fell asleep.
So much so that Xu Ding and the others approached the camp without discovering it.
Xu Ding urged his horses into the camp, approached the enemy's tent, and opened the curtain to see that there were several naked and thick-haired men sleeping soundly inside.
They snore one by one.
Xu Ding winked at his subordinates, then pointed to several directions, and mentioned the cavalry soldiers in his throat, sweating frequently, extremely nervous.
The atmosphere is quite weird. They came to sneak attack the enemy, but the enemy hadn't found themselves yet, which made them a little guilty.
However, everyone has been on the battlefield, and their basic qualities have been tempered. Xu Xuding's hand signaled that they approached the brazier in the camp one by one.
Then after Xu Ding knocked the first brazier away, they also slammed the other braziers into the Roman camp.
Or throw the torch in your hand to the tent.
Immediately, countless flames shot up in the Roman camp, and the noise finally alarmed the Romans.
Numerous Romans ran out of the camp, Xu Ding urged his horses to charge, and swung their guns.
Kill the Romans who rushed out and ignite more tents at the same time.
The cavalry were divided into several teams, and went inward along the scattered Roman camp, fighting and killing and burning. All of a sudden, the Roman camp was ablaze, screaming again and again, and there were more and more terrified people. It was a mess.
Chapter 694 Meng Yu's Demotion and the Separation of the Uprising Army (Two in One)
"kill!"
The barracks were in chaos, and countless Romans who were in no hurry to take up their weapons fled the barracks. The fire spread rapidly, especially the sea breeze blowing from west to east, which accelerated the spread of the fire.
Although Xu Ding and the others only have more than 200 riders, they can gallop freely.
Hack and kill at will, don't worry about falling off the horse.
