Chapter 583: Epic Showdown

"They're coming! Prepare for battle! Prepare for battle! The Overseers roared loudly, and the soldiers raised their shields and spears at the sound of their horns, pointing at the approaching Hun army.

"Stepping on ......"

Suddenly, the barbarian infantry of the Huns' servant tribe came to a halt, and the archers passed through them to the front of the formation. Their armor was inferior, many of them without even armor, and each of them had an arrow in his hand and stopped closest to the Roman formation. I saw them stick arrows in the ground under their feet, and then pick up a bow and arrow.

"Luga, it's within range of our scorpion and ballista," Andrew whispered to Luga's side.

"Order the infantry to defend." Luga said.

"Defense! Defense! ”

The soldiers raised their shields and held them high above their heads, forming a huge tortoiseshell formation. Through the gap, they set their spears on the shield wall, waiting for a rain of arrows to rain down like a rainstorm of pear blossoms.

"Archers! Archer! The Hunnic officer pointed directly at the Roman army in front of him, which had been lined up for defense, and shouted to the archers behind him: "Shoot the arrows!" Shoot the arrows! ”

"Boom!"

A roar like thunder erupted from thousands of bowstrings at the same time, and in an instant, the arrows that obscured the sky formed a dark cloud above the heads of the Roman soldiers. With the sharp "whoosh" of falling air like the clanging of a torrential rain on the rubble of a house, the dangerous raindrops sat in the midst of the Roman First Array and resounded on the shields.

Many soldiers fell to the ground with arrows, and then those behind him also suffered, and a dozen fell in a rain of arrows.

However, the archers of the Hun alliance could not stop there, and they drew a new arrow from the ground and put it on the string, and then looked up at the sky and rained down another rain of arrows.

Rain after rain of arrows fell on the soldiers' shields, and the arrows kept falling, and it was like a nightmare, and everyone was praying that this nightmare would end soon.

"Your Excellency Luga, I think it's time to fight back against the Huns." Because he didn't want to see the soldiers so constantly killed and wounded and indifferent, Arleto, who finally couldn't help it, found Luga and protested loudly to Luga, "Supreme Commander, your soldiers are bleeding and dying, are you so indifferent?" ”

"That's not a problem at all, Arleto!" In the face of questioning, Luga did not seem surprised at all, and he calmly said to Arleto: "Don't worry, Arleto, everything will be fine after this time!" ”

"What do you mean?" Alleto was puzzled.

"That's what it means." Andrew explained behind Luga: "It's nothing, because the real cruelty is yet to come!" ”

"Really cruel," Arleto repeated, as he saw dozens of huge flying stones flying out of the Hun army in the distance, which swirled and fell in the sky. The soldiers began to panic, and the rain of arrows that fell first filled their upper bodies as they removed their shields. The stones fell, and the soldiers were knocked down, and the soldiers who were directly hit were cut off in half of their bodies in an instant, leaving the lower half of their bodies bleeding down.

"Hold on! Hold on! ”

The officers shouted and cheered the soldiers, and the wounded around them grew, and soon their orders were crushed by the screams of the wounded. Under the shields, the wounded soldiers who were still alive were dragged little by little out of the ranks to the rear. Seeing that the huge casualties made the soldiers begin to waver, Lu Jia's face was also solemn, but he still secretly told himself in his heart, bear with it, endure it again.

"Our bows are not as far as others, so we can only close the shot!" It took a long time for Andrew to tell the truth, and seeing that the army at the front had lost hundreds of soldiers, the Hun archers' shooting stopped, because they ran out of arrows.

Attila was quite satisfied with the casualties of the Romans, and he smiled and nodded, but also because the crumbling line of the Romans gave him a bold idea, he saw that although the Romans were numerous, they did not have high-kill weapons such as trebuchets and other intimidating things (because these were blocked by Luga with planks, so Attila did not see them).

"Order the army to attack." Attila said to the herald officer beside him, "After all, we didn't bring enough arrows with us, it's time to make them feel terrified with powerful melee soldiers!" ”

"Woo-woo-"

A hurried horn sounded, and the infantry of the Huns, who were only a little more than 150 meters away from the Roman army, began to move.

"Alright, girls, cheer up, and let's show these civilized people with thin arms and legs if their politeness can defeat us on the battlefield!" The chiefs of the various tribes always greeted those behind them, and the soldiers of the servant army struck their shields with their battle axes and roared loudly towards the Roman army on the opposite side, as if trying to use this to intimidate them and make them feel fearful.

"Onward! Advance! ”

The barbarian army was dispatched, and they ran swiftly like a swift flood, and their footsteps were as deafening as a mountain torrent, and with their roar, the whole earth could feel a slight tremble.

"Archer prepare!"

It was only then that the commanding officers at the front called out to the archers, and they drew their bows and arrows, pointing at the sky at forty-five degrees.

"Boom!"

The same bullets of thousands of bowstrings rang out, and countless arrows roared and fell into the influx of barbarian alliance troops, and the barbarians who fell to the ground fell in pieces.

This still could not stop the attack of the coalition forces, and at this time, Luga turned back to the herald beside him and said, "Let the soldiers who control the ballista and the scorpion crossbow move, the enemy is close at hand!" ”

At this time, the baffle in the middle of the military formation was placed, and hundreds of scorpion crossbows and ballistas were condescendingly aimed at the oncoming barbarian coalition.

"Click......"

The crossbow bolts that had already been loaded were instantly shot out by the controller, and one after another the powerful crossbow bolts rushed straight into the oncoming barbarian crowd.

Without waiting for them to scream, one crossbow after another knocked down the barbarian soldiers like gourds piercing sugar. Seeing the people around them or in front of them fall in pieces, the huge casualties instantly restrained the barbarians who were roaring and killing the enemy, their eyes widened, and their roars turned into screams, they didn't care whether they would scatter the formation, turned around and fled lifelessly, and the whole body was moved, and the entire army formation was disrupted, like a herd of migrating bison, which was as spectacular as a herd of migrating bison, so it is appropriate to describe the fleeing barbarian soldiers. They left with corpses and wounded in the ground, and then the Romans began to advance, and along the way they mercilessly killed the wounded soldiers who wanted to ask for mercy with their spears, and they advanced only to kill the wounded barbarians, firstly to vent their anger, and secondly, to show Attila!

"Damn, how can this be?" When Top Gun had just imagined how to see Luga kneeling at his feet, the sudden rout caught Attila by surprise, and it seemed that the next offensive would have to be more conservative.
