Three Kingdoms open plug-ins everywhere

Chapter 703 The Death of Chuan Pu (Two in One)

"kill!"

When this legion was fully engaged in the battle with the navy, it abandoned the flanks according to the scriptures. Xu Ding led the cavalry to take advantage of the situation and directly cut off the entire legion at the waist, then attacked the center and continued to strangle and strangle.

Limbs flew across the road, bloody and bloody, and the Roman soldiers of this army avoided one after another, and directly cut off from the legion commander's side.

But the foot combat of the Roman army is indeed powerful.

Soros had the advantage in numbers and added a small amount of trebuchets as a deterrent, but he was still pierced by the rushing party and rushed out, leading a small number of people to the west and escaping across the Luce River.

Of course, Soros was not disappointed, and he still commanded the troops to cull eastward, plugging the leak, in order to reap the lives of the Roman soldiers of this subsidiary legion.

Xu Ding rushed back and forth to the east several times, smashed the Roman soldiers and soldiers, and handed over the task of destroying the remnants of the enemy to Soros' navy, and then led the cavalry to chase after the escaped legion. long.

The cavalry wanted to chase, but they caught up in a short while, shooting arrows from behind, and constantly biting.

The army commander's small number of soldiers rapidly decreased, and in the end he still died under Xu Ding's arrows.

After beheading the army commander, Xu Ding stopped chasing and turned back. At this time, the battle on Soros' side was coming to an end, and he was chasing small groups of defeated soldiers everywhere.

"Commander, please apologise. Not only did our army fail to stop Trump's affiliated army, but this one almost let go." Soros came to plead guilty a little indebtedly.

Xu Ding said: "It's not a crime of war. You are the navy and should be fighting on the water. It's really difficult to transfer to the land. Chuanpu can't run away. Kavala is in our hands. He is still meat on the chopping board."

After speaking, Xu Ding patted Qi on the shoulder, pointed to the devastated battlefield and said: "Clean the battlefield, gather the wounded soldiers, and count the casualties. We will go to Kavala later."

"It's the commander in chief!"

In the end, the statistics of the navy came out, and the casualties were as high as about 3000, which was no less than that of the Roman army.

The real damage to the enemy is one thousand, and the self damage is eight hundred.

But apart from Soros sighing a little, Xu Ding was not surprised by this result.

The combat effectiveness of the water army was already poor, but with the addition of the Roman army, which was dying to break through, there was a small explosion in combat effectiveness.

The casualties of the naval army were only about [-]. In fact, it was very economical to fight.

Of course, the elimination of this Roman subsidiary legion was largely due to the assistance of cavalry and trebuchets.

Leaving the wounded soldiers and supplies behind, Xu Ding and the others immediately headed towards Kavala.

At this time, Chuan Pu and others fled back to Kavala according to the scriptures, but when they arrived at the city, they were immediately greeted by Jian Yu and Rolling Stone.

At this time, Chuan Pu and others knew that Kavala had fallen and was captured by the rebel army.

"What should the elder do?"

Except for Kavala, which can lead westward to Central Macedonia, there is only the sea route left.

There are mountains to the north, and there is no way to go.

Chuan Pu said: "Siege the city, attack the city immediately, and take Kavala for me."

"Siege! Siege immediately!" The chiefs and deputy army commanders immediately ordered to prepare for the siege.

Of course, it is impossible to rush directly to the city gate when attacking the city. At least some wood must be cut to make bumpers or ladders.

After a little busy work, these crude siege tools were finally ready, and the Romans immediately launched a siege battle.

The defenders on the east side of the city were also ready. Seeing the enemy troops rushing towards the city like a tide, they also launched a fierce counterattack.

Various methods of defending the city also called the Roman army under the city.

"Come on! Throw a gun at me, if you can't beat Varkala, we are all going to die, hurry up..."

The officers of the Roman army kept shouting orders to beat chicken blood.

This is really useful for the Roman army. In order to save lives, Kavala can only be taken down.

So the Roman army showed extraordinary will and fierce fighting power, rushed to the bottom of the city, completely ignored the arrows and rolling stones shot from the city, and only wanted to throw the light javelin in your hand on the wall.

Shoot and kill the defenders on the city.

So this offensive and defensive battle was quite fierce. If it wasn't for the young infantry general who followed Xu Ding to supervise the battle, Soros' navy army might retreat to the city and lose the city wall.

Half an hour was very long, and the attacking side suffered anxiously.

The defending side also gritted their teeth and persisted bit by bit. The wounded soldiers kept being carried down, and people from the city kept replenishing them. Batch after batch were replaced, and batch after batch died.

Half an hour was like visiting the [-]th hell, and I couldn't stand the thought of giving up at any time.

But Chengxia Chuanpu and others continued to attack and worked hard to output.

Under the city, corpses, trees, and rolling stones were piled up layer by layer, and the layers were getting higher and higher.

The city gate was also crumbling, as if the next collision could break open, but it was often interrupted, and Roman officials had to send batches of soldiers to take over.

"boom!"

Finally the city gate was knocked open, half of the gate tilted and toppled.

As soon as the city gate was opened, all the Roman soldiers were as excited as blood.

Chuan Pu and the others also smiled, and took a long breath.

Kavala finally captured, and his life was saved.

"Kill!" The roar of the sky continued to vent from the mouths of the Roman soldiers, and the defenders in the city turned pale, and retreated towards the pier while fighting.

Of course, there are still some who are not in a hurry to withdraw, so they can only give up dealing with the Roman army outside the city, and instead stick to the city wall, competing with the Roman army for control of the parapet.

Therefore, the defenders of these cities are also at their desperate and bravest time.

The current situation is very unfavorable to them. If they want to survive, they can only fight desperately, fighting to the end with the Roman army trying to climb the wall.

The vengeance of the Romans was strong, and they would not be pardoned and treated well if they surrendered.

Instead, he would be crucified and fed to crows.

"Puff...!" It was another bloody battle, with close combat and non-stop killing.

The torment at this moment is even more terrible, there is no hope, no future, and I don't know how to persevere, so I can only fight back instinctively.

The Roman army came up bit by bit, and of course they paid a high price. At this time, the defenders on the city smashed them with rolling stones and trees, causing more casualties than those outside the city.

Moreover, the Roman army couldn't use it for a while, and there was nowhere to hide if they wanted to hide.

There is no suspense in the war. As long as the remnants and defeated generals in the city are cleared, Kavala will return to the embrace of the Great Roman Empire.

There is no need to fear the pursuit of the rebels.

But sometimes it is like this, the more you don't want to see something, the more it will happen.

On the east side, the sound of rumbling horseshoes crushing the ground changed the expressions of Chuan Pu and others outside the city.

Turning his head, he saw the fluttering rebel war cavalry flying in the wind.

The iron cavalry approached quickly like a torrent.

Before the troops arrived, Alexander Qin's roar came like rolling thunder, and the cavalry behind him also roared.

Putting away the binoculars, Xu Ding accelerated his horse. Just now he saw the situation of the city gate. The city gate was breached by the Roman army, but there were still flags and soldiers of the rebels on the top of the city.

This shows that in the future of the city, he is still in a hurry, so he whips his horse desperately to bring the horse to the fastest speed.

Chuan Pu and the others didn't know that Xu Ding extravagantly used the captured treasures to make a simple telescope to see the situation here, but he knew that if he didn't enter the city, he might be swept away by the rebel cavalry rushing over. So he hurriedly urged his horse into the city.

A group of Roman soldiers also followed. Although the city had not been completely captured at this time, there were still many rebels in the city, and it was not safe yet.

But since there is no time to think about it, entering the city is the key.

After Chuan Pu and others entered the city, they immediately arranged a detachment to line up under the city cave. The shields and spears of the narrow city cave touched the ground one after another, forming a series of human-shaped city gates.

As soon as the formation was set up, Xu Ding led all the cavalry to kill them, and shot three arrows in succession. The three Roman soldiers in the cave howled miserably. Xu Ding did not slow down, but still charged forward.

The Roman soldiers stabbed with spears and topped with shields.

"Boom!" Xu Ding's mount collided with the formation of Roman soldiers under the city cave. The horse died immediately, and a group of Roman soldiers fell down.

But Xu Ding jumped down the previous one, landed in front of the city cave and turned a somersault, then quickly got up, held the gun and jumped, and walked to the side of the Roman soldiers like a ghost.

The spears were swung, and the Roman soldiers in the cave were shot and stabbed to death one by one.

In the blink of an eye, Xu Ding pierced through it, and the ground was full of howling and messy.

Then Xu Ding continued to rush forward, and the Roman soldiers who tried to intercept him were also stabbed to death.

Dancing left and right, stabbing and blocking quickly, Xu Ding can never enter the realm of no one.

At this time, the cavalry from outside the city rushed in one after another, and their horses charged, killing the Roman soldiers and generals on the road, who were also crying for their fathers and mothers, unable to resist.

These Roman soldiers had no choice but to withdraw to the city, but the cavalry of the rebel army did not stop and continued to chase along the main road.

Xu Ding did not pursue, but continued to stab at the parapet, and all the Romans in front were thrown away.

"Commander!"

The soldiers who persevered on the top of the wall saw Xu Ding, and felt very grateful and comforted while being excited.

They survived, and the timely appearance of the commander saved them.

"Okay, now is not the time to talk, follow me to chase the remnants of the Roman army, and kill enough money today." Xu Ding gave the group of soldiers holding on to the top of the city a positive look, and then put his guns down the parapet, A group of people followed one after another, as if drinking the Fountain of Youth all of a sudden had infinite strength.

How could Chuan Pu and others dare to stay in the city?

But they are not as fast as the promised cavalry.

If he fought head-on with Xu Ding in the city, there might still be hope of winning, even if he couldn't win, it would seriously hurt Xu Ding's cavalry.

After all, the city is not suitable for cavalry combat.

Outside the city, it is a paradise for cavalry.

But Chuan Pu and the others fought with no intention of fighting, and wanted to escape with their lives. Who would be a fool to stay behind for a while.

After all, they are an affiliated army and there is still a big gap between them and the standing army.

And Chuan Pu is also a general, but a veteran who was born in Guizhou and has been active in the Roman Empire.

So Xu Ding's cavalry soon chased them out.

At this time, chasing and killing is what cavalrymen like to do most. Without the power to fight back, they can gain military exploits and kills if they catch up.

The battle in Kavala City ended soon, the gunpowder smoke cleared, the inside and outside of the city were in a mess, and the smell of blood was everywhere.

This battle wiped out another affiliated army headed by Chuan Pu, while Soros' navy lost more than 2000 people, and more than 1000 were slightly or seriously injured.

It was also a fierce battle, even if it occupied a city, the battle damage was also extremely high.

This is the most obvious manifestation of the quality of the army.

But those who survive the battle will eventually become the elite.

Although the navy has lost half of it, it has also grown.

The next day, the cavalry who chased Chuan Pu and others returned one after another, and brought back Chuan Pu's head. Xu Ding took a look at it and had it hung on the Nancheng pier.

The navy left one step ahead of time and headed north, Xu Ding took the tired cavalry to Komotini.

Two days later, the sailors of the Roman army arrived at Kavala. When they saw Chuan Pu's head, they were silent for a long time before landing to receive Kavala.

However, he did not go north, but waited for a new commander and new instructions from the city of Rome.

When he came to the city of Komotini, Xu Ding attacked the Roman army headed by the Governor of Thrace with the Thracians.

In general, the attacking force was divided into two parts. Currency led the rebel army to attack the city of Polis, which is an important pass and heavy city in the coastal direction of Thrace. When it is defeated here, it will enter the plain of the Thracian province. The zone will directly threaten the safety of the Thrace capital, and at the same time, it can be regarded as the last line of defense to attack Byzantium.

So the Governor of Thrace placed the main force of the Eighth Army here.

However, when the shoppers arrived here, they did not attack the city, but were busy building siege equipment, pretending to be waiting for the arrival of the army.

The move of shopping around provided the Thracians with good support and helped them mobilize most of the troops in the province.

Therefore, the main force of the Thracians crossed the mountain range to the north one after another. This area was the most familiar to them, and they easily bypassed the warnings in the direction of the province, and then rushed to the gold and silver mining areas.

The Governor of Thracian Province, who received the news, couldn't help being shocked. He didn't know where the rebel army came from so many troops, let alone how they entered the hinterland.

For this reason, he hurriedly transferred his troops to the north to exterminate the group of Thracians who came in, and ensure that the gold and silver mines were not lost.

At one time, he thought that the rebel army on the southern front should be a cover, not the main force of the rebel army, but a conspiracy to trick him into transferring the main force to the south.

It's just that he didn't know that the main force of the uprising was really here. Seeing that the Eighth Army was transferred away, he immediately launched an attack on Polis.

Under the bombardment of super trebuchets and other small trebuchets, the city wall of Boris was quickly smashed down, and this important pass city was quickly captured with [-] infantry.

After taking this place, the goods are in a hurry, and they continue to advance eastward, and expand the army along the way to recruit people to liberate slaves and serfs, and expand the main force from [-] to [-].

"Report! Commander, compare the generals to capture Polis, and is advancing all the way to the south of the Thrace province. At present, the fast attack has reached the coast of Marmara.

The general who shopped around sent me to ask the commander-in-chief, should we go north to assist the Thracians, first destroy the Eighth Army of Thracia, gain a foothold in Thrace, and attack other provinces, or continue to attack Byzantium in the northeast direction and cross the strait directly go east. "The confidant who shopped around ran back to report the battle situation on the front line.

Xu Ding waved his hand to let people take him down to rest, then asked Xiang Meng Yu and Soros, "What do you think?"
