Roman Slave Owner

Chapter 276 Crossing the River

The army slowly approached the royal city, at this time a cavalry ran over.

"Report Your Majesty, the enemy is leading a large army and is waiting on the other side of the Assanias River."

"How many are there?"

Tigranis asked hastily.

"Looking at the banner, it looks like there are eight legions, and there are about 10,000 cavalry in addition."

"Haha, I didn't expect there to be less than 60,000 horses. Like this, we are sure to win."

Tigranis couldn't help but be ecstatic.

"Your Majesty, let's be careful, and don't underestimate the enemy."

Alexander said quickly.

Mithrada's face was also serious, he thought of his dark history.

In Asia, he claimed to have an army of 300,000, but he was defeated by Li Wei.

"What are you afraid of? We have five times the number of them. I don't believe in defeating Levi with so many people."

At this time, an Arab sheikh said.

"What a bunch of cowards, I guess they were frightened by Li Wei's beating."

Another chief laughed loudly.

Mithridates and Alexander trembled with anger, these guys are really hateful.

"Okay, don't worry, you have to trust me, I am the king of kings."

Tigranis said with great confidence.

After merging Mithrada's troops, the army in his hand has exceeded 360,000, and he doesn't believe that Li Wei can turn the sky.

Everyone complimented Tigranis one by one, which made Tigranis extremely comfortable.

Mithridates and Alexander were extremely depressed. After Alexander remonstrated and was ridiculed again, he also shut up. Forget it, everything can only depend on God's will now.

The crowd led the army to the river, and they saw Li Wei's army standing on the other side of the river from a distance.

The flags of the entire army were waving, and the military discipline was strict.

"It seems that they plan to rely on this river for defense."

At this time a chief said.

Tigranis nodded, "That's right, but what they don't know is that this river is very shallow and easy to wade through. They are doomed to lose in this match."

"Your Majesty is wise, let us congratulate Your Majesty on your victory in advance."

"Clown Li Wei, how could he be His Majesty's opponent?"

"..."

Hearing the compliments from the crowd, Tigranis laughed triumphantly.

While they were looking at Li Wei, Li Wei was also looking at the army on the opposite side.

What kind of army is this?

The clothes are of different colors, the armor is uneven, and some don't even have military flags. How do they plan to command the army?

And the military formation is scattered, no, there should be no military formation at all.

It is also understandable to think about it, how can the army have strict military discipline in less than three months.

If I had to describe it in one word, it would be mob.

He finally understood why Luculus was able to defeat the enemy.

This is simply giving me military merit!

Thinking of this, Li Wei's restless heart immediately settled down.

He glanced at everyone, and found that Luculus' tense expression had eased, and even Belieus had a look of contempt on his face.

"General, I think the army should be ordered to attack immediately. The enemy's formation is scattered. As long as they disperse their army when they are not stable, then we can win a big victory."

Luculus said at this time.

"Isn't it too risky to attack now?"

Belius said.

"No, now is the best time. Their army has not yet been deployed, and the army is coming from a distance when it is exhausted. It only takes one impact to defeat them."

Levi said.

Having said that, he immediately called the flag officer, and then ordered the whole army to attack.

Excited trumpets and bugles sounded, and military flags were waved. More than 50,000 Roman soldiers moved forward at the same time and began to forcibly cross the river.

Tens of thousands of cavalry covered the two wings, ready to launch an assault on the enemy.

Tigranis and the others looked at all this in shock,

How dare they launch an assault on the 360,000 army?

Yes, they must not know that they have such terrible military power, and it is precisely because ignorant people are meaningless that they do such ridiculous things.

"Quickly, order the army to prepare to meet the enemy."

Tigranis said.

After all, he was a battle-hardened man, so he quickly formed his troops, the Adibenes were assigned to the left flank, the Metis were assigned to the right flank by him, and the central army was his own troops, more The barbarians had not even rushed to the battlefield.

Seeing his formation, Alexander couldn't help frowning.

"Your Majesty, I don't think your heavy cavalry should be placed behind the main army, but the enemy's cavalry should be dispatched."

Tigranis blushed, how could he not understand this.

It's just that he thinks that the battle has been won, and he wants those miscellaneous soldiers and mercenaries to consume more enemies so as to preserve his own strength.

"I see."

Tigranis said helplessly.

Under the gaze of everyone, he had to order the heavy cavalry to move to a small hill, ready to threaten the enemy's flank at any time.

After crossing the river, Li Wei immediately discovered the movement of the enemy's heavy cavalry.

He knew that the enemy had heavy cavalry, so he was extremely afraid of these heavy cavalry.

Li Wei called Lukulusi, "Go and command those cavalrymen, and remember to keep an eye on the enemy's cavalrymen. If they make any changes, immediately go up and entangle them."

Recently Lucullus has been following him as a staff officer. After all, with such a famous general by his side, Li Wei can save a lot of trouble.

The cavalry is the most important thing in this battle, and among so many generals, Li Wei believes in Luculus the most.

"Yes, General."

Luculus said, and after finishing speaking, he galloped towards the cavalry camp.

"Tell all the soldiers in the army to set up a tortoise shell formation, don't shoot arrows with the enemy, but quickly engage in hand-to-hand combat, and use the dagger in your hand to destroy the enemy."

Li Wei called the herald again and said.

If you want to defeat enemies that far exceed your own number, you must quickly defeat the enemies in front of you without fear of casualties.

Otherwise, once they are allowed to gain a firm foothold, the situation will be really bad.

"Yes, General."

Heralds galloped on the battlefield on horses one by one, conveying Li Wei's orders.

The two armies approached quickly. At this moment, the heavy cavalry on the hill moved. They rushed down the hill like a tiger descending the hill. Using the conversion of potential energy, they quickly reached a high speed. Luculus quickly led the cavalry went up to welcome.

Seeing this, Li Wei was relieved, and he commanded the army to quickly approach the enemy.

The two armies were about to touch each other, and the enemy's central army sent out a shower of arrows.

But the tortoise shell array had no effect in the face of the Roman army. Except for a few people who were injured, they quickly approached the enemy.

"kill!"

Caesar said loudly, and then directed his own brigade to quickly kill the Mites in front.
