Augustus Under the Horseshoe

Vol 2 Chapter 499: : The Battle of Selman (1)

When several people were talking, suddenly, a man and horse hurriedly broke into the dominance camp that Painhes had set up temporarily in the city.

"Not good! Warchief! Cavalry! The Visigoth cavalry is approaching! There are about four thousand men!"

"what did you say?"

Painhurs' eyes widened in disbelief.

In the calculations of the Pale Warlock, after receiving the news of the fall of this place, the opponent must be in chaos. Since they have the ability to capture Selman, the enemy must think that the tribe has an extremely large army here. Therefore, it must first All the troops scattered in the nearby strongholds were assembled and attacked.

And this series of operations will take at least a week. After these seven days have passed, the pontoons will have been erected long ago, and the soldiers will cross the river halfway, relying on Selman’s high walls to guard for a few days according to the danger, and the assembled army Basically all can cross the river, the loose alliance that the Visigoths engages, regardless of quantity or quality, can no longer be their opponents.

They couldn't possibly know that there were only two thousand elite orcs, three thousand veterans, five thousand Pechenegs, and an army of necromancers whose quality was as poor as that of goblin cannon fodder.

In this battle across the river, it was just an information gap.

However, the Selman that he had captured in the early morning, the other party actually brought four thousand cavalry to the city on the same night? Yes, the cavalry marches fast, but, one has no overwhelming force, two has no siege firepower, you ran over with a mere four thousand cavalry to attack the fortress built by the Romans? Who do you look down on!

Selman Suburban

The cavalry scouts distributed outside the city warily discovered the smoke and dust in the north, and the whole land was trembling slightly. Alaric, the azure giant, rode in front of the newly tamed mammoth, carrying two thousand gaggi. Ding Chong cavalry, two thousand were collected by himself, and the nomadic cavalry whose loyalty can be guaranteed charge at full speed.

Their horses and weapons are basically taken from the Roman arsenal. There are thousands of Andalusian horses from the provinces of Spain. They have crisp hooves and strong hiss. They are all Goths in Roman and Barbarian costumes. The samurai wears a magnificent and extraordinary eagle totem on his chest, which is cast with a fusion of gold, silver and precious stones, which shows his noble status. By the way, he uses a flexible belt to fix himself on the horse. Above the body.

"Stop them! War elephants are afraid of fire! Use rockets!"

The first men and horses to cross the river were accompanied by the warchief in the four directions. Among the veterans, the veterans and war elephants have seen countless experiences.

The first two men and hundreds of people who met the enemy had no fear in the face of dozens of times the enemy. The hoofs thundered and the chords shook the sky. They avoided the unstoppable frontal sprint of the Visigoths, and at the same time they rounded back to the enemy's flanks. , Shooting one after another tied with tarpaulin, burning flame arrows, disrupting, killing, and shocking the cavalry troops.

The Visigothic Gagittin heavy cavalry, only equipped with long swords, shields, and dozens of heavy javelins, has no way to deal with this kind of long-range strike. His mouth grew in surprise.

The dense rain of arrows from the other party was enough for him, but the rain of arrows they shot fell sparsely in the middle. The special body structure of the horses and horses allows them to move at the speed of the cavalry, and shoot with the longbow of the infantry. The range and power are far beyond the compound shortbow of the ordinary archers. This is also one of the biggest advantages of the horses and horses in the grassland.

It was another round of destruction arrows that covered the sky and the sun, countless arrows shot into the air, countless arrows bounced off by armor and shields, and countless arrows, roaring into the flesh and blood, making a blossoming coquettish and beautiful The scarlet epiphany blooms quietly.

In just a few seconds of contact, Alaric saw the huge gap in the long-range firepower of the two cavalry. The speed of the two cavalry was almost the same. When the cavalry on his side tried to get closer, the **** monsters would retreat to the distance, and at the same time, they would move their waists towards He twisted it behind him, and while running, he shot a dense rain of arrows, blocking and harassing the pursuers behind him.

The barbarian king frowned and chanted the sacred prayer in rough and savage Nordic language.

The golden bright electric current rushed in his limbs and a hundred skeletons, surging, accelerating the speed of his own time passing, the sky-shielding arrow rain, the galloping steed, because the time flow rate of Alaric is too different, in his eyes , Has been slow to stagnate in the air.

The centaur veteran did not feel abnormal, and continued to bend his bow and shoot arrows. Suddenly, the Supreme King, who was still on the elephant's back, had already come to him at this moment! That's twice as tall as a man and a horse

Before the veteran could react, a giant golden spear shining with thunderbolt cut off his neck, and his head rotated in the air for several times before falling to the ground with a scarlet line of blood. .

"Roar!!!"

Alaric uttered a loud roar, and under the surprised gaze of the crowd, he raised his left hand violently, causing an icy city wall to rise from the battlefield, blocking the retreat path of the tribal soldiers. .

"Kill the blue giant!"

Two hundred households gave orders at almost the same moment. The veterans were as fast as lightning, and pulled out the compound longbow in their hands for three full moons at a rate of once every two seconds!

In an instant, more than six hundred large steel arrows roared and roared, shooting them densely on Alaric's body. The metal clusters of arrows collided and rubbed against the metal armor, bursting out a sharp sorrow. Ming, most of the arrows failed to penetrate the armor, but there were still thirty-three sharp arrows that penetrated into the icy blue flesh and blood of the Supreme King.

Alaric didn't say a word, letting blood gurgle from the dense wounds. He wielded a huge golden spear like a **** of war. He rushed to the right and left in the crowd of people with only his waist high. The air expanded sharply. The thunder roar of death shook the eardrums, and the fine gold spear blade cut the flesh and blood, and in a flash, three more centaurs fell under the huge thunder spear.

"Leave the giant alone! The Visigoths rushed up! Go around the ice wall and go!"

Seeing the menacing Gajdin heavy cavalry, accompanied by the nomads' rain of arrows, roaring towards them, the men and horses temporarily chose to retreat.

Before the long words of a hundred households fell, the giant spear entwined with thousands of thunder snakes roared and left Alaric's palm, whizzing, spinning, roaring, and directly shot through his heart! A thunder pillar with the thickness of a bucket fell from the sky at the moment the spear struck, completely submerging it,

When the thunder dissipated and the current ceased, a veteran soldier who had been on the battlefield for decades had become a charred corpse pierced on the shaft of a spear. The ground under the hoof has also been ravaged by thunder for a dark face.

At the same time, Alaric held a golden wand high in his left hand, and another wall of ice blocked the retreat route of the horses and men.

Two thousand nomadic light cavalry rushed forward, roundabout, and outflanked the two wings, and two thousand Jiajiding heavy cavalry assaulted frontally, intending to completely eat this small unit of troops in one go.
