However, the rebel army just got stuck 50 meters away and turned around, which gave the Roman army no chance to project javelins. Even the light javelins with low lethality still had a wounding effective distance.

It can only be said that Xu Ding has figured out this characteristic of the Roman army and calculated it directly.

This made the Roman army quite depressed and passive.

The opponent can hit you, but you cannot hit the opponent.

The average shooting range of a bow is at least 50 meters, and 100 meters with good arm strength is also normal, and 200 meters like Xu is at least.

Therefore, the rebel army can completely use the style of the big Han light cavalry, which is to keep attacking and shooting.

Until the opponent is exhausted, of course, the premise is that the arrows brought are sufficient.

After increasing the distance to the north, Xu Ding turned back and attacked the left flank of the Roman army.

The army commander hurriedly commanded: "The three brigades on the left immediately change their defenses, and don't let the rebel cavalry charge over."

Although there were not many casualties in the wave of cavalry and shooting just now, which may be negligible for the entire legion, it gave the legion commander a new understanding.

The cavalry can still fight like this, Alexander Qin is indeed a peerless opponent, and the scourge of Great Rome.

Another wave of arrows rained. This time, the three brigades on the left wing were not well coordinated, and they were not well prepared, causing more than 100 casualties at once.

But Xu Ding still didn't break the formation, and led all the riders back, and then came back to attack the riders and shoot.

Constantly weakening the morale and strength of this legion.

Mosquitoes are small but also meat, a hundred or so at a time is enough for a Roman to drink a pot.

This increased the pressure on the legion.

Of course, his pressure is not the greatest, but Chuanpu is.

Because just when Xu was about to launch an attack, Soros brought his naval envoys to the coast, and the big ships began to release small boats, and the medium ships or small boats went directly to the coast.

When we got to the shallows, we started to disembark and land.

Of course, there are also some strange ships with no cabins, or they were deliberately dismantled.

A trebuchet was installed on the ship, and stones were transported on the ship, and there was a supply ship behind it, which supplied stones and crewmen to the ship.

"Ready! Launch!"

These trebuchets were all made in large quantities by the artisans when they were promised in Kavala. They were all small or medium-sized, and the stones projected were not very large, but the distance was quite far.

Enough to fight against Chuanpu and other troops.

Following Soros' order, the trebuchets blasted towards the shore.

The Roman soldiers who had just lined up to fight back against the landing of the rebel army were hit or scared to dodge to both sides.

The good army formation was disrupted at once.

The trebuchets on each ship did not need to be in command, they were busy with their own work, and shot the stone bombs at the fastest speed.

Faced with the threat of stone bullets that could hit him at any time, Chuan Pu had no choice but to order his troops to withdraw to the shore and distance himself from the catapult.

At this time, Soros's navy took the opportunity to rush ashore, jumped off the ship and landed ashore.

Of course, there were also small and medium-sized warships that were dragged in along the estuary of the Luce River, accompanied by catapults, of course.

The trebuchets bombarded both sides of the Luce River, and the Roman army, which was already in a disordered formation, hid more thoroughly and moved away from the river bank.

"This is not the solution for the elders. We can't stop the rebel army from entering the inland waterway. At this speed, the rebel army will occupy the Luce River sooner or later. We have to prepare early." A deputy army commander told Chuan Pu Said.

Chuan Pu's face was cloudy and uncertain. He looked at the army that was fighting Xu Ding, and at the subordinate army that was beaten by the rebels and couldn't fight back. He finally gritted his teeth and said: "Withdraw! All withdraw across the Lusi River , let's go back to Kavala."

"Kill!" At this time, Soros' troops landed in full force, rushing towards the Roman army on the shore in a swarm.

Soon the rebel navy and the Roman army's nearest brigade detachment fought together. The two sides fought desperately and fought into a melee.

However, a steady stream of water troops continued to join, and the number suddenly became superior, causing these Roman troops to retreat steadily.

This made Chuan Pu more determined to evacuate, and the army commander and deputy army commander below had no intention of fighting, and led the troops to retreat westward.

Soon the Luce River was occupied by naval warships, and the sailors drove away Chuan Pu and seized control of the Luce River.

Soros also jumped off the boat, stepped on the solid ground, pointed his long sword at the Roman army in the east, and said, "Move the catapult down for me and smash them, we will destroy them..."

At the end of the troubled times, all the sailors stopped pursuing Chuan Pu, gathered on the east bank one after another, and then also formed an formation, pressing towards the army left behind by Chuan Pu.

The rebel army had a slight advantage in numbers, and Xu Ding and other cavalry were attacking non-stop.

The Roman legion was attacked on both sides, and the commander had to make a new tune.

However, morale fell further, and the senators ran away, and he and his legion were surrounded by rebels.

What's ridiculous is that they were surrounded by auxiliary cavalry and water troops who were not good at land warfare.

"shoot!"

One of the trebuchets moved down counted as one, moved behind the Luo army, and then smashed stones frantically.

Soon this legion also received the same treatment as Chuan Pu just now.

After laying down dozens of pieces, the formation of the Roman army began to be chaotic.

The Roman army armed with shields and javelins was hit by flying stones and didn't know where to go.

"Attack, there is no need to defend, charge me, and fight the rebels up close..."

The legion commander finally let go of his guard and let go of his style of attack, urging his horse to charge towards the water army. Together with him, the cavalry of this legion also rushed towards Soros and the others.

Soros hurriedly commanded: "I will block the formation, the trebuchet will continue, the archers will shoot arrows, the spearmen will stand up for me, and the shield soldiers will stabilize for me..."

"projection!"

After the archers of the water army shot a wave of arrows, the Roman army rushed to 30 meters, and then threw out both light and heavy javelins.

Dense javelins came like rain, but fortunately, the navy was also prepared.

The front shield blocked many javelins.

However, many people were shot and fell to the ground.

Even the javelin blocked by the shield is not easy to move.

After the Romans finished throwing their javelins, they drew out their daggers and broadswords and rushed over.
