My subjects are too rebellious!
Chapter 410 Another city
On the vast plain, the two huge forces are like two towering mountains, facing each other from afar.
On one side was the Roman Empire's 300,000-strong army, which was assembled from all over the country. They were dressed in various types of armor, holding shining weapons, and were in neat formations with great momentum.
On the other side, Han Xin had an army of 400,000 that was gradually growing stronger through fighting.
Among these 400,000 troops, 200,000 are elite infantry and cavalry who have experienced the baptism of war, and the remaining 200,000 are the terrifying Snow Dragon Riders. They are dressed in snow-white robes, riding tall war horses, ready to sweep away all obstacles at any time.
Between the two armies was an empty battlefield.
The generals of both sides stood at the forefront of their respective armies, looking directly at each other.
The emperor of the Roman Empire wore gorgeous armor and held a long sword that symbolized power and glory.
Han Xin, on the other hand, was wearing a simple battle robe and holding an ancient spear.
.....
Following Han Xin's order, the cavalry in the center surged out like a tide. They rode tall horses, wore heavy armor, held spears and sharp blades, and charged at the Roman army with a thunderous force.
They were like a sharp knife, pointing straight at the heart of the Roman army.
The sound of horse hooves roared, dust flew, and the whole earth trembled.
However, the Roman army did not panic.
They have already made full preparations.
The Roman army's infantry quickly gathered into a solid line of defense. Holding spears and shields, they worked closely together to form an insurmountable wall of steel.
At the same time, the Roman light cavalry was quickly deployed on both wings, preparing to outflank and counterattack Han Xin's cavalry units.
After Han Xin's cavalry unit broke into the Roman defense line, they immediately encountered stubborn resistance.
Relying on their excellent combat skills and firm will, the Roman soldiers engaged in a fierce hand-to-hand combat with Han Xin's cavalry.
Spears and lances intertwined in the air to form an impenetrable net, and every collision was accompanied by the roar of metal and the roar of soldiers.
Faced with the dilemma of being blocked in the middle of the charge, Han Xin did not show the slightest panic.
The situation on the battlefield changes rapidly, and any moment of hesitation may lead to the collapse of the overall situation.
So he quickly adjusted his strategy and decisively ordered the cavalry on the left and right wings to attack at the same time, intending to find a new breakthrough by distracting the attention of the Roman army.
As Han Xin's orders were issued, the cavalry on the left and right wings rushed out from both sides like two lightning bolts.
They rode on war horses, held sharp weapons, and charged at the Roman army at astonishing speed.
Faced with the fierce attack of Han Xin's cavalry on both wings, the Roman army responded quickly.
While strengthening the defense of the center to prevent Han Xin from launching another concentrated charge, they also mobilized troops to put up a stubborn resistance against the cavalry on both wings.
The Roman infantry and light cavalry worked closely together to form a solid line of defense.
Although Han Xin's cavalry units were extremely brave, they were soon caught in a tough battle under the tenacious resistance of the Roman army.
Although the cavalry on both wings brought certain pressure to the Roman army, they were still unable to form an effective breakthrough.
The Roman army gradually stabilized its position through tactical coordination.
Faced with this unfavorable situation, Han Xin frowned.
As the saying goes, the first effort is strong, the second is weak, and the third is exhausted.
In Han Xin's military career, he had never encountered such a powerful opponent.
But soon, Han Xin keenly observed a key weakness in the Roman army's command system.
Although the Roman army demonstrated strong strength, there were huge loopholes in their command method.
Han Xin noticed that the three main forces of the Roman army, infantry, cavalry and archers, were independent of each other, and their generals could only command their own troops. Even the emperor of the Roman Empire could not command others.
This discovery made Han Xin's eyes light up, and he immediately realized that this was a valuable opportunity that he could take advantage of.
Because Han Xin's army and the Snow Dragon Cavalry both determine whether they are competent based on personal ability.
He alone could command any phalanx on the battlefield.
Han Xin realized that he could use this to defeat the Roman army from within.
......
I saw a hundred thousand snow dragon riders rushing towards the Roman army, while the three Roman armies were also actively uniting to resist.
Just when the two armies were fighting fiercely and the situation on the battlefield was evenly matched, Han Xin suddenly ordered the entire army to retreat.
This sudden change instantly broke the balance of the battlefield and plunged the entire Roman army into a brief moment of shock and chaos.
The generals of the Roman army looked at each other, their hearts full of confusion.
They couldn't understand why Han Xin made such an abnormal decision.
Could it be that the Snow Dragon Riders were too exhausted to fight again? Or did Han Xin have other plans and deliberately showed weakness to lure the enemy deeper?
However, in either case, the Roman army had no time to investigate further.
They could only quickly adjust their formation and prepare to deal with new attacks that might be launched by the Snow Dragon Riders.
But to everyone's surprise, the Great Snow Dragon Riders did not launch a charge as usual, but were actually retreating, and at an extremely fast speed, as if they were fleeing from the battlefield.
This move left the entire Roman army confused.
They began to doubt their judgment, and some even began to worry whether this was a trap set by Han Xin to lure them into pursuit and fall into an ambush.
But on the other hand, they also saw an opportunity. If the Great Snow Dragon Riders were really retreating, then this would be a perfect time for them to counterattack.
When the Snow Dragon Riders suddenly retreated, obvious differences emerged within the Roman army. Some generals were eager to succeed and ordered a pursuit in an attempt to expand the results of the victory, while others were more cautious and chose to stay put to observe the situation.
This disagreement was exactly what Han Xin wanted.
The strength of the Roman army's united resistance depended largely on the coordinated operations between the various forces.
Once this coordination is broken, the combat effectiveness of the Roman army will be greatly reduced.
Therefore, he deliberately let the Snow Dragon Riders retreat, inducing chaos and divisions within the Roman army.
Taking advantage of the Roman army's disintegration and instability, the Snow Dragon Riders immediately turned their horses around and quickly crossed the battlefield with the advantage of their warhorses' speed.
Those Roman teams that were eager to pursue were soon left behind by the Snow Dragon Riders, and their pursuit further weakened the overall defensive strength of the Roman army.
At the same time, the Snow Dragon Riders aimed directly at the core of the Roman army, the central area where the defense was weakest.
When the pursuing Roman squad rushed back to the center of the battlefield breathlessly, the scene before them shocked them so much that they could hardly breathe.
