For infantry, a good commander is more important. In contrast, cavalry can also perform miracles under the leadership of a strong general.

Xue Rengui and Zhao Yun saw the Roman legions in neat formation and immediately led their cavalry to bypass them.

Scipio the Younger witnessed Xue Rengui and Zhao Yun's test, not attacking the Roman legions head-on, and said to himself: "They didn't fall into the trap."

He was eager to fight Xue Rengui and Zhao Yun's Eastern cavalry in close combat. With the strength of the Roman warriors, as long as they fought in close combat, they could probably strangle the white horse cavalry.

His two cohorts of Roman veterans were no match for the defeated third cohort.

Once Xue Rengui and Zhao Yun's cavalry approached, the Roman legions would use javelins to inflict hundreds of casualties on the white horse cavalry.

"How to destroy this Roman army?"

"They lacked cavalry and used mounted archery to harass them."

Xue Rengui and Zhao Yun faced the Roman brigade and baggage train, and after a brief discussion, they decided to use mounted archery to deal with the Roman army.

The white horse cavalry surrounded the Roman army and fired arrows quickly. The sharp arrow clusters shot through the shields of the Roman heavy infantry!

Xue Rengui's Tang Dynasty archers generally used armor-piercing heavy arrows that cost more than 100 gold. The Roman shields may not be able to block them all. Many arrows penetrated the shields and nailed the arms of the Roman heavy infantry to the shields!

Roman soldiers continued to die, one after another.

The arrows fired by Xue Rengui were even sharper. Not only did they penetrate the shields, they were also unable to withstand the chainmail and scale armor of Roman soldiers!

After the Roman soldiers in the front row were killed, the Roman soldiers in the rear immediately took up the slack.

Facing the eastern light cavalry and eastern composite bows, the Roman heavy infantry legion, which did not pay attention to the construction of cavalry, ran into trouble.

The light cavalry of Xue Rengui and Zhao Yun did not engage in close combat with them, leaving the Roman heavy infantry with strong melee combat power unable to attack.

"Cavalry is very important. We must have a strong cavalry that belongs to Rome or a cavalry from a reliable ally."

Little Scipio was helpless in the face of the cavalry attack by the white horse cavalry.

If the Roman army went out to attack, it would fall into the trap of the Eastern cavalry, and the Roman legion, which was mainly heavy infantry, would be difficult to catch up with the Eastern light cavalry.

He was waiting for the arrows of the Eastern Hussars to be exhausted.

The Roman legions were passive, and many hot-tempered Roman heavy infantry were gnashing their teeth at the Eastern cavalry. They did not dare to pursue them without the command of their commander.

Xue Rengui and Zhao Yun gave the arrogant Roman heavy infantry a lesson, but the Roman legions did not collapse completely.

"Their commander has strict military discipline. Unless we have a heavy cavalry in our hands, it will be difficult to annihilate their entire army."

Xue Rengui harassed them several times and saw that the Roman legion remained motionless. His cavalry did not bring many arrows, so they may not be able to destroy the Roman heavy infantry of more than a thousand people.

On the horizon, a black cross battle flag appeared, and a Teutonic knight in full plate armor led a group of light cavalry.

They received a request from the Roman lords and came to support Scipio the Younger. If Scipio the Younger was captured alive, it would be an unbearable heavy loss for the Roman lords.

"retreat!"

Xue Rengui and Zhao Yun were worried that they would be surrounded by the Teutonic Knights after running out of arrows, so they abandoned the Roman legions and evacuated quickly.
