At this time, the benefits of saddles and stirrups are more vividly reflected, and all cavalry can exert their strength as much as possible.
The combat power is several times stronger than usual.
For example, when they stab with a gun, they can stab more fiercely, faster and more accurately.
For example, using a knife to slash with a knife can slash and repel enemies who are usually much stronger than themselves.
Moreover, their fighting back and forth was smoother, even if an enemy swooped in and tried to intercept them.
They can also easily avoid it, and then swing upwards with one injury, scratching the person who pounces.
The cavalry is like the wind, and it is even more rampant in this chaotic scene.
From south to north all the way to set fire to kill people, the two hundred riders did it quite beautifully.
When Xu Ding went through the camp and looked back, the entire Roman camp was on fire.
All the Romans fled, only some calm generals organized their subordinates to fight the fire.
Supplies, supplies, what hurt their heart the most during this fire was the equipment and supplies.
These are all wasted money.
What would they fight without these things.
"Are you happy?" Xu Ding asked everyone.
Everyone replied loudly: "Happy!"
Xu Ding raised his spear and said, "Have fun! We're going back. After we've killed through, we'll go to Durakium to rest. Then I'll treat you to a drink, a big bowl."
"Shoot through, drink, drink in a big bowl!" The riders laughed heartily.
To be honest, they haven't killed Yin yet tonight.
"Let's go!" Xu Ding was still in front, flattered the horse and turned back, and I urged the horse to follow.
The Romans didn't expect that Xu Ding and the others would dare to come back again. They didn't even hold their weapons in their hands in a hurry, and then they were knocked over by the chaos and lost countless lives.
"Stop them, stop them for me!" a legion commander shouted angrily.
Several personal guards tried to intercept with broad knives, but were directly knocked into the air, and Xu Ding and his men hacked to death those who stood in the way.
The cavalry burned like the wind, like a fire dragon.
The Roman soldiers who had no intention of fighting ran farther, and the soldiers fighting the fire were taken care of by Xu Ding and others, and there was no one in the entire camp to fight the fire.
The sea breeze was still blowing, and soon the fire ravaged the entire camp.
An hour later, the fire was basically extinguished, and the entire camp was reduced to scorched earth.
Xu Ding came back with more than 200 knights, and disappeared in the fire camp without any major obstacles.
In the city of Durrakium, Meng Yu, who was half-capable of closing his heavy eyelids just now, was woken up by his subordinates.
Stepping up the city wall, I saw the flames of the Roman army camp in the north, shouting constantly.
I was as confused as the soldiers, but then I was ecstatic.
Whatever the cause, it was a good thing for the defenders that there was such a large fire in the Roman camp to the north.
Maybe Rome in the north will not be attacking the city tomorrow, and then they will only have to deal with the Romans in the south.
This is a lot easier.
At that moment, someone suggested: "Master Qianfu, why don't we go after the commander-in-chief when the enemy camp is on fire and has no time to take care of us."
The others also looked at Meng Yu expectantly.
No one wanted to die, and everyone wanted to leave Durrakium.
Someone said this in Yijing more than once, but Meng Yu resolutely rejected them all.
This time is no exception, Meng Yu said: "No! Our mission is to hold on to the city of Durrakium. We have to buy time for the commander. When the commander wins Macedonia, he will bring a steady stream of troops back to deal with the Romans. of.
If we need food and food in our city, we can defend it for a year or so. As long as we don't admit defeat, no one will be able to take the city of Ragium. "
The crowd fell silent.
They are not afraid of guarding the city, but is there hope for guarding like this?
Didn't the commander promise anything when he left?
They were only allowed to delay the oncoming Roman army a little, but they had already accomplished their task.
Shouldn't we be able to go?
Will the commander-in-chief come to rescue us with an army?
Everyone had no idea, because they knew that someone had gone to the east for help.
This is Meng Yu's tacit approval.
He neither supported nor refused.
Because only in this way can we stabilize the morale of the army as much as possible, and if we don't give everyone hope, everyone will be desperate.
A desperate army cannot hold a city.
Terrible things can happen to a desperate army at any time.
"Look, my lord, it seems that someone is coming towards us." Suddenly someone pointed to the north.
Everyone stared at it, but it wasn't that there were many black shadows coming from this side.
Depending on the situation, it was still cavalry. Although there was no sound, the speed at which the shadow moved did not prevent them from guessing.
Meng Yu hurriedly drew his sword and said, "Notify everyone to prepare for the battle and call up the archers."
But soon Meng Yu and others knew that this was a false alarm.
Because the other party stopped within a stone's throw, and then howled towards the city.
"I'm Alexander Qin! Tell Meng Yu to come over and talk to me!"
Xu Ding slowed down, and slowly leaned forward. With the help of the torches in the city, everyone in the city finally got a clear view of Xu Ding.
Both shocked and delighted.
