Chuan Pu asked: "Are you sure? I heard that Alexander Qin's cavalry is very strong and equipped with special weapons, which can increase the combat effectiveness of the cavalry by several levels."
"Old man, we have never fought against Alexander Qin, so we have no way of judging, but I suggest that the army be divided into two parts, one legion in the front and one in the back. The rear legion will first occupy the Luce River. If something unpredictable happens If things happen, the whole army will not collapse." The army commander suggested.
The Luce River is not far behind, it is a small card point, and it is a necessary place to return to Kavala.
The north side flows down from the mountains, and the total length on the plain does not exceed 2 miles to reach the Great Coast.
If the Luce River is controlled by the enemy first, they will not be able to cross the river.
An accident happened and the whole army was wiped out.
Chuan Pu said: "Okay, just do as you said. The army is ready for battle. I want to see how powerful Alexander Qin is and how powerful his cavalry is."
After the discussion, Chuan Pu retreated with an army, took control of the Lusi River first, and left an army to fight Xu Ding head-on.
This legion immediately formed an array and defended in a zigzag echelon according to the three-three system.
The most taboo thing to deal with cavalry is to stretch the horizontal and form a long snake formation. Obviously, the regiment commander from this affiliated regiment also has a lot of combat experience.
But all their actions were a joke to Xu Ding.
Xu Ding and the cavalry remained motionless, and had no intention of attacking.
Just watching from a distance, just watching quietly.
"What's the situation, why didn't the rebels attack!" Chuan Pu in the rear saw that the legion in front had put up a defensive formation in an array, but Xu Ding did not attack.
On the contrary, after a while, Xu Ding and their cavalry dismounted and sat on the ground to rest.
Then I ate dry food, drank water, talked and laughed, and relaxed.
This scene shocked the Romans.
What does it mean?
You are not going to attack, are you not going to fight?
I've taken off my trousers, so stop fighting if you don't attack.
Are you here for a field trip?
There was soon an uproar in the Roman army, and then there was talk.
After all, maintaining a formation, holding weapons, and maintaining a certain posture is also extremely exhausting.
"Legion Commander, what should we do now? If the rebels don't attack, can we rest?" asked one of the captains.
The legion commander shook his head and said: "No, don't take it lightly. The rebels may just want to confuse us in this way and let us relax our vigilance. Once we relax, they can get on their horses and charge over."
The reaction speed of the cavalry is fast, and it is easy to kill here once they get on the horse and sprint.
They should not dare to let their pawns relax.
Can time outlast anyone and anything?
Half an hour later, the Roman soldiers maintaining the formation couldn't stand it any longer, and asked for orders to rest.
The other party is resting leisurely, but they have to suffer hard.
To fight or not to fight, at least give me a happy word.
The regiment leader thought for a while and said, "Come here, go over and ask Alexander Qin whether he still fights or not. How can he be such a fool as the commander-in-chief of an army?"
A cavalry squad of this legion immediately ran forward, but Xu Ding and the others still had no intention of fighting on the ground. Instead, most of the generals held grass in their mouths and stared jokingly at the enemy cavalry cautiously approaching.
"Your Excellency Alexander Qin, our regiment commander asked me to ask you whether you are still fighting or not. If you do, please attack immediately. If you don't..."
"What if you don't fight?" Xu Ding tilted his head and picked up the longbow beside him.
The cavalry squad swallowed and said: "If you don't want to fight, please tell me something, we are all soldiers, please don't do things that insult the soldiers, whether to fight or retreat, please..."
Before he could finish his sentence, the cavalry captain was shot in the chest by an arrow. He glanced down at the arrow feathers, and then fell straight off his horse.
The other 31 riders immediately urged their horses to turn around and run back.
The army's military team and the other soldiers suddenly shook their spirits, grabbed their weapons, and prepared to fight.
The main thing is that Chuan Pu of the Luse River behind was fishing, and he raised his head sharply, dispelling all the sweet dreams.
"Are you going to fight?"
Chuan Pu asked.
The subordinate looked around and said, "It seems not. Alexander Qin shot an arrow while sitting, but his cavalry didn't move."
Chuan Pu's face darkened even more.
He just sat down and shot an arrow, which startled both legions.
"Old man, our regiment commander sent me over to ask, do you want to take the initiative to attack Alexander Qin?"
Chuan Pu stood up, looked at Xu Ding's position, thought for a while and said: "No need, this may be what Alexander Qin wants to see, I guess we will take the initiative to attack, he will retreat, he must have some conspiracy Wait for us."
After finishing speaking, Chuan Pu added: "Let the soldiers rest!"
The person who sent the message came back to report to the army leader. After the army leader listened to it, he said to the captains of his opponents: "Order to rest!"
The Roman soldiers breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.
After holding back for so long, I can finally rest.
This battle was fought really hard, and it was fought and not fought, and it was not withdrawn.
But now I can rest.
But just as they sat down on the ground with their weapons, Xu Ding on the opposite side got on his horse, and all the riders also jumped on their horses, and then beat the drums, which meant to attack.
"Quickly! Stand up quickly, line up quickly, grab the javelin, grab the shield, grab the broadsword..."
All of a sudden there was a lot of yelling and shouting, and the Roman soldiers who had just sat down and rested stood up one after another, grasped their weapons and equipment, and arranged them in an orderly manner, making all preparations for the battle.
But Xu Ding and other riders on the opposite side still didn't move, they were still chatting and laughing, discussing some interesting things one by one.
Still don't attack!
This time all the Roman soldiers wanted to curse.
After a cup of tea, Xu Ding and the others still did not attack, but dismounted again.
