Chapter 199 Defeat

"Don't stop, don't stop!"

Luca knew that moving forward was the only way to survive, but he had to face unprecedented resistance. The armored warhorses were destroying the lives under their hooves. No flesh and blood could stop such a powerful cavalry. Even if they could escape the galloping warhorses, they could never escape the maces stained with blood and minced meat! Soon, the five hundred armored cavalry had already thrown the Sassanid army into chaos. The soldiers who maintained the fixed formation fled in all directions. The Roman army took advantage of the situation to abandon the formation, roaring like a rolling tsunami, sweeping in with overwhelming force, and almost overturned the Sassanid "warship". The huge "warship" of the Sassanid army floated up and down in the "wind and waves", still struggling to support itself. The Sassanid infantry, who came to their senses, immediately gathered together to block the charging armored cavalry, and used all their strength just to be able to pierce their heavy armor, but this was not easy.

Luca was also one of those who were forced to stop. He dropped his lance and swung his sword to kill every Persian who tried to get close to him. He kicked the horse's belly hard, just to prevent his horse from stopping and exposing too many flaws for the Persians to catch. If that happened, he would be really glorious!

Although Luga himself was in dire straits, as his enemy, Yisai was also unable to sit still. How could he watch his army being turned upside down by Luga? In his eyes, he only saw the armored cavalry led by Luga destroying and killing people in his army as if they were in an empty space, but he never thought that Luga was just trying to prevent himself from being killed too quickly.

"Who is commanding this armored cavalry?" Yisi Ai pointed at the armored cavalry who was killing people wantonly on the battlefield and asked the officer behind him! "Sorry, King of Kings, we don't know who this person is either."

Everyone was shaking their heads. Of course, who would know an unknown pawn from Europe? However, the actions of this "pawn" did give Yazdegerd, the king of kings of Persia, a headache.

"If we let this damn guy continue to act so recklessly, we will really lose!" The officer next to Yisi'ai reminded him in a low voice.

"Asshole, I know that too!"

Yisi'ai turned around and angrily scolded the officer who had just reminded him, scaring the man so much that he quickly shrank his head back and dared not say anything.

"Order the army to shrink the front! Why are the damn Holy Death Cavalry so slow? Speed ​​up and catch that idiot!" This is a gamble, because ordinary gambling uses Denarius or Oren, but on the battlefield, it is thousands of lives. These are all Iz'Ei's precious trump cards, he can't treat it as a joke.

“Wuwuwu…”

The horn of the Sassanid army sounded again, and the Sassanid army, which was close to losing control, retreated violently. As well-trained soldiers, they followed the sound of the horn and began to retreat instead of rushing forward and making Luca and his men suffer when they had no choice but to stop. Of course, this also made Luca feel relieved, after all, the current situation was temporarily safe.

"Sasan backs off!"

“Haha, they’re scared!”

"Don't run, you damned desert coward!"

The Romans also saw the retreat of the Sassanids. They raised their shields and cheered, shouting: Long live the armored cavalry. Then they chased after them! "Let's not disperse, stay together!" Luca turned around and shouted to the armored cavalry. At this time, there were obviously fewer armored cavalry still on the warhorses. "Quick, protect Augustus, quick!" Luca led them to move forward with difficulty in the dense crowd. The men and horses were exhausted. Luca only felt that the armor on his body was like a mountain pressing on his shoulders, making him breathless.

"Hurry up, for God's sake, hurry up!"

Looking at the Sassanid Holy Cavalry so close, Theodosius II was completely paralyzed. He felt that he had completely lost the strength to stand at that moment. His heart was in his throat, but this time it must have stopped beating too violently.

Andrew still didn't give up. He whipped the horse pulling the cart hard, but this didn't make the horse run faster.

The lighter-loaded Holy Death Cavalry quickly caught up. They wanted to attack the driver and make the chariot lose control, so they raised their lances and stabbed Andrew fiercely! Andrew was a veteran after all, so it didn't take much effort for him to stab him. But there were so many of them at once, which made him a little overwhelmed.

"Shameless bug!"

Andrew yelled and cursed loudly. He didn't care whether the Persians could understand his Latin. He suddenly freed one hand to lift a shield and held it tightly against his left side. Then he tied the reins of the horse to his waist with his right hand, and then parried the lance coming from the right with his bare hands! The horses were galloping, and it was naturally difficult for the Holy Cavalry on them to catch the galloping target. Even if they caught it, the force and speed of the lances stabbed out could not keep up. The flexible Andrew could dodge easily. They wanted to attack Theodosius II again, but Theodosius II hid under the solid defense of the chariot and was still on Andrew's right side. If they wanted to attack from the left, Andrew would protect them with his shield, so that they could not take advantage for a while. Seeing that they could not take advantage for a while, the Sassanid Holy Cavalry was naturally uncomfortable. The battle situation was urgent, and they had no time to waste, so they began to shift the target of attack.

"They are going to attack the horses! Andrew, turn the chariot around and get our chariot into the army!" Theodosius II found that the Sassanid cavalry had increased their speed through the gaps in their shields, and he immediately knew where they were going. Perhaps it was because of the crisis that Theodosius II was able to unleash his potential. He ordered Andrew, who grabbed the reins with his right hand and pulled them to the right. The horse turned around, and the direction was turned so quickly that the chasing cavalrymen didn't have time to react and crashed into the chariot and fell off the horse.

"They are trying to escape. Kill the horses! Kill the horses!"

The Holy Fallen Cavalry discovered Theodosius' intention, and more than a dozen of them surrounded him again, holding up their lances and stabbing the horses pulling the chariot. The horses were stabbed and bleeding, but they still rushed forward desperately.

"Hold on, hold on!"

Seeing them trying to stab the war horses, Andrew didn't have a long enough weapon in his hand. He could only watch and pray that the two war horses would be strong enough.

"Use the same method we used last time!" Yisi'ai, who was watching from a distance, gave orders slowly and said, "We must hurry before they come out of the crowd."

"But we still have people there!"

"This is the order of the King of Kings!" Yisi'ai's tone did not allow for any doubt.

The horn sounded again, and hundreds of burning oil tanks flew out from the Sassanid army.

“Pah pah pah…”

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

The flowers of fire bloomed again among the crowd, and in an instant the entire Roman army was filled with flames, including Luca and his armored cavalry.

"Hahaha……"

Izdegerd laughed triumphantly, because he could already feel victory waving at him, and he couldn't wait to teach that old and brainless Theodosius II a lesson !

The horse was made of flesh and blood after all, and it could not bear the blow of iron. It wailed and fell to the ground. The huge impact even overturned the carriage carrying Andrew and Theodosius II, causing them to fall heavily to the ground.

Theodosius II was thrown to the ground with stars in his eyes, and he was unconscious. The overturned chariot was on top of him, and he didn't even have the consciousness to resist. In a daze, he felt the chariot being lifted up, and a dozen Persians wearing helmets with swan wings carved on their heads laughed and cursed at him as they roughly pulled him up, speaking in Persian, which he couldn't understand, with strange voices. Theodosius II knew that this was a joke on him, but he didn't even have the ability to resist.

"It's over! It's over!"

Theodosius II wanted to cry but he had no tears. He was not anxious for others to rescue him at this time, but thought of his wife and children. He never thought that this battle would change his life at this time, and make him fall from the high and mighty Roman Augustus to a prisoner of the Sassanid Persians! "Forget it, forget it! It's just building a dam." Theodosius quickly let it go. He turned around and looked at the battlefield again. It was already a sea of ​​fire, and everyone was in chaos, including the Persians.

“Crack!”

At this moment, Theodosius II felt a flash of fire in front of his eyes, and the head of the Sassanid Holy Cavalryman who was mocking him beside him was instantly blown up. Blood and brain matter splattered on other people, causing a small commotion.

Theodosius looked up and saw a scene he had never seen before: a warhorse covered in full iron armor, with a knight on it burning with flames as if he had emerged from hell. However, the knight remained unmoved, holding the reins tightly in his left hand and a bloody mace in his right hand. That was the weapon that had blown up the Persian's head.
