Chapter 699 Return of the Ninth Legion to Destroy Soros (Two in One)

Seeing that Xu Ding did not come to chase him personally, but sent about [-] cavalry to attack him, the commander of the Ninth Army was also angry.

Turn the horse's head and come back to have a good fight with Meng Yu.

But when he turned back, Meng Yu Yijing bit off several of his teams behind him.

His cavalry of more than 300 cavalry now only has about [-] cavalry left.

Seeing the corpses of Roman cavalry all over the ground, my heart was shocked.

How could the loss be so big and so fast.

How could he have been killed by the rebel cavalry so many of his generals before a formal confrontation.

"Kill!" But at this time, he couldn't control so much, he had no choice but to shoot the arrow, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and rush towards Meng Yu.

Meng Yu was also holding a long spear, and led two hundred riders to charge forward without fear.

The two armies were already close, and they rushed towards each other at once. The two armies fought, and they swung their weapons at each other or stabbed or chopped or chopped at each other.

There was a series of gunshots, and then the figures fell off their horses one by one.

The bravery of the Ninth Legion is extraordinary, and he was also recruited from the grassroots. As a nobleman, he has undergone formal training and training since he was a child.

So the martial arts are not bad, he stabbed Meng Yu with a sword, but Meng Yu slammed the spear, the spear is good for a long soldier to fight, Meng Yu reversed and swept away with one blow.

The head of the Ninth Army swung his sword with cold eyebrows and raised eyes, which was also a block.

The two golden cries passed, and the cavalry of the opponent attacked with their blades on the opposite side, and the two of them also swung at each other, killing the ordinary cavalry of the attacking opponent off their horses.

The strength of the two armies is equal, and the commander of the Ninth Army's men are more skilled in riding, more experienced in horse warfare, and have better weapons.

But when the two armies rushed over and turned around and turned their horses back, they found that the cavalry of the rebel army was obviously much more than that of the Roman cavalry.

Looking at the place where the battle was fought, the number of unowned Roman army horses was obviously more than three times that of the rebel army.

In other words, the rebel army only suffered 30 casualties just now, while the Ninth Army lost half of them.

Glancing left and right, the commander of the Ninth Army soon had an idea in his mind, and he was muttering and puzzled for a while.

At the same time, there is still a tinge of terrible conjecture, looking at Meng Yu, he can't help but feel apprehensive.

So this time he didn't immediately order to rush to kill him.

After all, it is difficult to say how many people are left by his side after a charge.

"kill!"

Meng Yu laughed, urged the horse to roar and rushed over first, and more than 100 cavalry behind him also waved their weapons and rushed towards the Roman cavalry, the commander of the Ninth Army.

"Kill! For the honor of the empire!" For some reason, the commander of the Ninth Army was a little scared at this moment, because he shouldn't have looked halfway towards the city gate.

It was this half eye that made him lose the courage to win.

The Ninth Army was dispersed by Alexander Qin, crushed and routed.

The Ninth Army was defeated in this battle, and the Ninth Army was finished.

The cavalry of the two armies fought at the bottom again, and at the moment of contact, each other skillfully held their weapons and killed each other.

"Pfft..."

Obviously, the cavalry of the rebel army, which had a greater advantage in numbers, only lost a dozen people this time.

The cavalry of the Roman Legion, except for the commander of the Ninth Army, fell off their horses and died.

The leader of the Ninth Army, who was alone, urged his horse to turn his head back, looked at the scene where there were no one around, and suddenly laughed wildly.

Especially when he saw the Roman battle flag falling in Thessaloniki City, Alexander Qin led the cavalry into the city gate, and he knew that he had lost completely.

The Macedonian province fell, everything was over, I was over, and my family was also over.

The great Roman Empire is in trouble.

"Your Excellency, Commander of the Legion, you have no one to fight in the past. Surrender. If you surrender, the commander-in-chief of our army can accept you and take you to the paradise of freedom." Meng Yu saw the situation above and below the gate of Thessaloniki, This battle finally ended with the victory of their rebel army.

So he wanted to persuade the commander of the standing army.

"Oh! Surrender, it's impossible. I am the commander of the Ninth Legion of the Great Roman Empire. How can I surrender to your rebels? Come on, let's have a final duel. Only Great Rome is heaven, only our city of Rome This is the real paradise." The commander of the Ninth Army tightly held the hilt of his sword, and then urged his horse to charge over.

"Everyone, don't move, I'm coming!" Meng Yu rushed over alone, swung his spear and charged with the commander of the Ninth Army. The two horses staggered, and then several golden cries were made. The opponent's vitals.

But in the end, Meng Yu had some advantage in mentality, caught a flaw of the commander of the Ninth Army, and stabbed it into the artery of his neck with a single shot.

"I! I'm defeated..." With a bang, the commander of the Ninth Army fell off his horse, bringing up a cloud of dust, flying fine particles, which looked dazzling under the refraction of the sun...

In that battle, the commander of the Ninth Army was killed, most of his troops were beheaded, and a few escaped.

The Ninth Standing Legion of the Roman Empire was wiped out, becoming the first Roman legion to be expelled.

The city of Thessaloniki is very prosperous, and as the capital of the province, it is the political and economic center.

Adding is an important route to Byzantium (Istanbul), so there are frequent businessmen.

In addition, he also has a superior seaport, and there are also a lot of land and water trade, so it is naturally an extremely important wealthy city.

Whether it is strategic or other conveniences, taking this place will have a great effect and attraction on Xu Ding.

The defeat of the army caused the city to fall into the hands of the rebels.

The naval warships at the port had to stay away from the port, retreat to the shallow sea, and blockade Thessaloniki on the surface.

…………

"Commander! The Roman navy hasn't left, and they have been blocking and monitoring us in the shallow bay. This is not good for us. Soros probably won't be able to come!" Said the Roman navy on the coast.

"No! Soros will come. I believe in him, just as I believe in you. Don't worry, he is on his way. He will arrive in a few days. These navy troops will soon withdraw or disappear." Xu Ding paused for a moment, then said:

"Even if you don't leave, it's okay. They don't dare to go ashore, and they can't pose a threat to us. Let them stay in the water. You hurry up and recruit troops. After this battle, our team will grow rapidly. Your pressure will also be reduced." It will get bigger and bigger, and the burden will get heavier, especially yours."

The city of Thessaloniki has abundant supplies, a large number of equipment, and a huge population.

There are also more people who meet the agreed conditions for recruiting soldiers.

In addition to the record just now, I believe that more and more people will want to join.

Of course, these should have excited him, but Xu Ding directly took 500 people from his hands and threw them into the cavalry.

This is where the real stress of shopping around is.

There are five hundred elite veterans, which is more convenient for managing and training other recruits.

However, the strength of the cavalry has proved everything. It is the fastest and most effective way to develop and strengthen the cavalry.

Not only can the combat effectiveness of the cavalry be maintained, but also the loyalty of the city can be maintained.

After all, they fought bloody battles with him.

The news of the rebel army's recruitment was posted and publicized.

It quickly got a lot of response, and about 4000 slaves and slave farmers joined in one after another.

Xu Ding's rebel army suddenly grew back to [-], and there was also a craftsman and logistics team of about [-] people.

These are also one of his strengths. The army has expanded, and they are needed for the repair and polishing of many equipment and the manufacture of offensive and defensive equipment.

Leaving Bibi to guard the city of Thessaloniki, Xu Ding led the cavalry to attack eastward while training, tempering the cavalry in battle.

It took three days to reach the border with Thrace.

Completely conquered eastern and central Macedonia.

At the same time, about 1 strong men were recruited here, and the team grew to [-].

Leaving Meng Yu here to guard and train recruits, Xu Ding led [-] cavalry to go south to attack the southern peninsula.

The southern peninsula is a special existence inserted into the depths of the Aegean Sea. Taking this place can restrict the left and right Aegean sea areas on both wings.

At the same time, you can get in touch with Soros's people as soon as possible.

Because Xu Ding knew the general situation of Soros from the avatar's circle of friends.

Although Soros was born as a pirate, after experiencing the city of Naples, he became more loyal to him.

He found a new direction, so after leaving the team, he continued to develop and grow, successively annexed the three groups of pirate forces along the way, and spent all the money promised to him, quickly expanded the army, marched eastward, captured Many Roman towns gathered a large number of ships.

Then they fought a battle with the Roman navy in Achaia. In the end, both sides suffered losses and suffered losses.

Although he was hit, Soros retrained the navy, abandoned some old and rotten ships, and then went to attack the city of Athens.

However, it failed and lost some manpower.

So head north towards Thessaloniki.

However, he found out that there was a Roman navy stationed in Thessaloniki, so he first let people land on the southern peninsula to collect news about the direction of Thessaloniki.

According to his speculation, Xu Ding and other infantry should have taken the city of Thessaloniki long after he had delayed for so long.

So Xu Ding waited until the spies sent by Soros, and successfully captured him alive.

"Tell me, where is your chief?" Xu Ding drew his sword and walked over.

These spies who were captured alive shook their heads and said: "Sorry we don't know, we are just the lowest level people, we don't know anything, we..."

"Hey, I know if you don't tell me that you are from Soros, the great pirate. I am right that he is on an island in the southwest of the sea." Xu Ding said with a smile, and the sword lightly patted a person. face.

These people all looked at Xu Ding in horror.

Who is this, how do they know their origins, even where the boss is.

Done!Done!
The Romans knew even this, we might be surrounded.

"Okay, I won't scare you anymore, go back and tell Soros that I've been waiting for him here for a long time, so get out of here quickly." Xu Ding put his sword back into its sheath, and waved his hand to hold down the knights of the sailors. They all let go and stood behind Xu Ding.

These people are all dumbfounded, what kind of game is this?

Xu Ding took out a letter from his arms: "Give it to Soros, and say that there is no need to go to Thessaloniki. There are still many Roman naval forces there. There is no need to fight with them. Go north, go to Kavala, I'll be waiting for him there!"

After speaking, Xu Ding took the people and left, but after getting on the horse, he did not forget to take out a gold coin from his trouser pocket and threw it over: "Take it to meet your boss, he will tell you who I am?"

After speaking, this time I really left.

These sailors look at me, I look at you, and then the person holding the letter picked up the golden soldier, and saw a strange character they didn't know engraved on it.

Looking at the gold coins, looking at the letter, and then touching his cold neck, the man gritted his teeth and said, "Go, go back and find the boss."

"Are we not going to continue to inquire about the news?" Someone asked.

"Still inquiring about farts, be careful that your head is gone, and what we want to inquire about, someone told us in the past."

Soon these people found the boat in which they landed, and then went out to sea and rowed towards the target.

"This is...!" Soros didn't expect the person he sent to come back so soon, but when he saw the letter and the gold coin engraved with the Chinese character Qin, he stood up abruptly, and then laughed loudly:
"Hahaha, good! It's the commander-in-chief, and the commander-in-chief is still here. They really came here, that's great."

"Boss, is this something from the commander?" An old man who followed from Naples asked.

Soros said: "Of course, I will see what the commander has instructed."

After reading it, Soros frowned slightly, then asked the person who brought the letter back, and then he sighed and said, "It's really not easy to command them. They wiped out the commander of the Ninth Army of the Roman Empire. The governor of the Macedonian province, but Mundu and Vila Toli... Don't mention them, come here, send an order to set sail, and let's go north to Kavala."

The mighty naval warships set sail, and the excited sailors shouting chant are full of energy, and they are all spreading the legendary deeds of the commander who has not met yet.

Provincial governor, a regiment of the party army has been killed.

Xu Dingbei returned to Thessaloniki, and ordered the goods to take the infantry to Kavala first.

Xu Ding spent three days leisurely in Thessaloniki, estimating the time, and then prepared to withdraw from Thessaloniki and abandon it.

At this time, the Roman army, which pursued Mengdu and Vila Toli in the north, and then went south, finally rushed to Thessaloniki.

It's a pity that they came ten or eight days late, and the Ninth Army was destroyed.

The commander-in-chief of this pursuit force is still the veteran of Chuanpu. Looking at the city that should belong to them in Rome, but now it is captured by the rebels, Chuanpu feels very uncomfortable.

Especially since the battle flag of Alexander Qin was hanging on the city, he knew that the Romans were in trouble.

The rebels are so popular that it is impossible to wipe them out in a short time.

The main forces of the two rebel armies, one from the south and the other from the north, greatly restrained the strength of the elders.

"The enemy army below the city is coming to attack the city." Xu Ding asked the Roman army outside the city, seeing that they hadn't set up camp, and roughly estimated that the opponent's troops were less than [-].

Such a troop is really not an advantage for Xu Ding now.

Chuan Pu urged the horse to go out and said: "I am Chuan Pu of the Senate, in charge of encircling and suppressing your rebels. I want to talk to your Alexander Qin."

"Oh! You want to talk to me." Xu Ding was a little surprised that the enemy commander really wanted to talk to him, so he asked, "I don't know what your Excellency Chuan Pu wants to talk about?"
