Chapter 749: Beacon Flame
Autumn sunshine, large clouds drifting in.
The sound of the battle resounded in the sky, the crowd swept like flowing water, countless footsteps with a body full of patterns began to run wildly, and thousands of brand swords and fangs scattered their cloaks and charged towards the array stretching ahead, booming and booming...... Knock on the earth.
"All for freedom, for fairness—"
Marcus, who was riding a horse, dragged his long cloak and ran past everyone's sights, holding his sword aloft: "—Duty for Han citizens!" It ..... also the honor of being the king of the north! Soldiers, execute the enemy in front of you! ”
"Kill—"
On the opposite side, the Roman phalanx and the Spartan formation erupted into a roar, and the shield and spear were also suddenly rushing out, the footsteps and roars exploded in the field in an instant, facing the southern barbarians without any formation, countless thick legs were churning wildly, and among the rapidly advancing fronts, dense black shadows were thrown into the sky from the hands of the running people, crossing a long trajectory, and then crackling down, splashing a large amount of blood, and pieces of bodies full of wildness fell, The brute without any armor fell to the ground in a frenzy, and the sharp short spear pierced the shield, nailing the whole person to the ground, and some directly nailed through the head, and took two steps before falling.
The charging Nanban tribe also had bows and arrows shot over.
Scattered rain of arrows flew over, the army that maintained the formation, raised their shields to cover the Thessalians, dark-skinned Numidians, Spaniards, and Gallic infantry in the rear, maintaining layers of arrays to advance the charge, the pace became faster and faster, and the southwestern barbarians charging on the opposite side became more and more clear, and at the moment when the faces of the opposite side could be seen clearly, the Gallic infantry, Roman hoplites, and Spanish shields tightened the reins of the hands holding the shields, gritted their teeth and squeezed out a roar.
The roaring footsteps pulled to zero distance——
The last step that fell struggling to kick the ground, squeezing out a layer of dirt at the same time, countless roars exploded in an instant, and the iron shield in front of him slammed the barbarian with the knife into the air, and the blade in his hand and the spear behind him were all stabbed out...... The muffled sound of flesh tearing puff stretched, and the front row of Nanban brand knives and fangs densely sprung up directly in the forest of guns, hanging on it, more barbarians roared excitedly, and the front servants pounced one after another, pushing the dead companions in front, squeezing and deflecting the spears, struggling to slash and stab the weapons in their hands frantically, looking at the iron shields of the Roman and Gallic infantry were full of whistling sounds, and in the rear, Cretan archers and Barriari slingers kept throwing arrows and fist-sized stones out, Fall in the middle of the crowd.
"Ahhh
Meng Huo turned around the war horse and gritted his teeth and roared at the battlefield with equal numbers, blood spread on the front line where the corpses were piled up, and the warriors under his command were in the southwest mountains, even if there were packs of wild wolves and fierce tigers, they were not their opponents, but in this flat field, they were not as good as the western barbarians.
It must be that he is not used to fighting with Western barbarians......
When this thought flashed in his heart, on the other side of the battlefield, the sound of shield slapping and spear stabbing sounded like an angry tide, Meng Shu turned his head to look, the sound of bang bang continued to sound, and an awkward Chinese dialect resounded in the sky: "Spartan-" A round shield slapped the Ni warriors in front of him out, the burly and stout figure showed a fanatical fighting intent, and at the moment of retracting the shield, they all stepped forward, and a heavy spear stabbed out, piercing the enemy in the second row, drawing spears and turning over shields in one go, While hiding the half-crouched figure under the shield, the Arab and Persian warriors in leather armor and white robes behind them stepped on their shoulders with scimitars and jumped up, fell into the crowd, slashed through the heavy sword light, and killed the barbarians who had been overthrown before, and did not advance recklessly, and the Spartan warriors behind raised their shields again to cover these agile Arabs and Persians, and once again stepped on the dead and undead bodies alternately, and continued to advance towards the front.
The autumn breeze was soft, blowing through the field, layer by layer of flesh and blood ripples expanded and spread on the battlefield, some barbarians saw the tragic death of the clansmen and rushed madly to the opposite side, some people directly carried weapons and ran back, and even simply knelt down, as if they didn't want to fight anymore with the words of the Ni people, Ah Hui murmured, the golden ring and three knots, and the busy teeth grew behind and urged the clan soldiers to step forward with red eyes, "Don't retreat, you lose the face of the Ni warriors-" casually killed a few panicked and retreated Nanban soldiers, only to save the rout that was about to occur.
Meng Huo gritted his teeth and tried to calm down, he knew some things about the bravery of the northern army, and he more or less knew that the other party had killed the extreme west, but he had never even been to the Western Regions, and he didn't know what the concept of the extreme west was, but even so, he still couldn't understand why the warriors who were usually not afraid of tigers and wolves in the mountains couldn't defeat the Western barbarians who were also called by the Han people in the battle array....... what Meng Huo didn't know was that most of his enemies were actually professional soldiers, and they had much more experience in battle formations than them.
"Hahaha..... Meng Shu, it seems that your warriors have not taken advantage." The vulture bone carried a heavy big knife over, the thick back of the knife was inlaid with several iron rings, and there was a clanging sound when he walked, and his body was about the same height as Meng Shu on the back of the war horse, "The enemy's weapons are sharp, but they can't cut through the armor of our people!" ”
The knife fell to the ground, and the arm swung out: "Order, with the rattan armor, follow me to kill it-" The legs moved, and he strode forward with the broadsword, and behind him, the soldiers sitting on the ground stood up, put on the rattan armor under him, and rushed into the distant battlefield like a torrent of the king's vulture bones.
"The enemy is really powerful, so don't go on one by one." Meng Shu turned his head and instructed his younger brother Meng You, "Let King Mulu take him tigers, leopards, and war elephants up as well, and defeat this army as soon as possible, so that he can fight with that Gongsun." ”
The herald ordered the brutes to gallop, raising their horns and blowing them. At a certain moment, behind the Ni military formation, there was a roar of tigers and leopards, a barbarian soldier led the iron chain through the middle, the other end of the chain was a bolted beast, colorful fur, the fangs that came out of the mouth emitted a bloody breath, the other southern cave soldiers retreated, let the way out, that's it, the ground under the feet came a little vibrating, the nearby eyes turned to the rear, a huge body rolled up the long nose behind the tiger and leopard, one of the war elephants, it was a leopard skin, wearing a tiger tooth pendant of the wooden deer king, Slender arms wave, constantly giving orders to the soldiers who control the beast.
After that, go to the battlefield.
…….
On the battlefield of the front line, the Nanban brand sword and fang Ding once again showed signs of defeat, arrows, throwing stones flew sideways, the sky staggered falling, shouting and running barbarians were not paying attention to the head of the stone falling from nowhere, the footsteps of his companions or enemies stepped past him, the fierce collision and fighting continued to boil forward, the Spartans used the effective rhythm of alternate attacks, and the Persians and Arabs began to turn to the middle of the battlefield on the flanks, showing a trend of encirclement. In the center of the battlefield, the Roman phalanx and Gallic infantry facing the Nanban soldiers were all battle-hardened veterans, and they were not afraid of the direct charge, and after resisting the opponent's attack, the counterattack was unimaginably ferocious.
Then, the originally chaotic and crowded Nanban front suddenly stagnated, the crowd suddenly separated, and a Roman soldier in the middle of the attack swung his short sword, slashed at the brown armor, and did not splash the familiar scarlet, he raised his head, a face showed a hideous smile under the scattered knotted hair, and his backhand was a knife, cutting a long bloody wound in his arm, and the comrade next to him immediately came up with a shield to pull him away, and after raising his hand to raise his shield to block the second knife, the soldier who made up for it shouted: "Beware of their armor-"
The sound is difficult to spread on the chaotic and boiling battlefield, on the right side of the ten paces away, a team of barbarians relying on rattan woven armor, tearing a hole in the defensive formation, several people have fallen under the opponent's sword, more barbarians roared roughly, and their bodies were blood-stained and rushed towards the gap, at the same time, on the two wings of the battlefield that were being encircled, the Spartans encountered fierce beasts, and the southern barbarians who cooperated on the side.
The brute force that is unattainable for human beings hit the big shield, pushing the Spartan warrior behind the shield to move a few steps, roaring beast roar, waving claws left long scratches on the big shield, occasionally someone was scratched on the thigh, tearing off a large piece of flesh and blood, the terrible scream "Ah-" came out of the mouth of a Spartan, the moment the body staggered to the ground, was grabbed by the leopard who took advantage of the weakness, and quickly dragged out, and after a while, the brute next to him broke his neck.
The advancing Spartan front had to shrink its formation, try to defend, and from time to time stabbed heavy spears to nail the beasts that wanted to sneak attack to the ground. On the other side, the seven-headed war elephants led by the King of Mulu stepped into the battlefield and came towards the Spartan formation on the flank.
On the rear slope not far from the alliance with the Western Clans, Wu Anguo's eyes never left the battlefield for a moment, and after seeing the Nanban throwing in fierce beasts and an invulnerable army, he tilted his head: "The king handed over this place to us, we can't afford to lose, since the sword and gun are invulnerable, then hammer!" In addition, let the eleven war elephants of the basket also pass over to support the Spartans. ”
Then, tighten the hammer embedded in his right wrist, turn over and get on his horse, "Ding Ling Heavy Hammer Soldier, go down with me-"
***********
When the war in the north of Mianzhu started, Li Yan, who constantly sent scouts to inquire about the news, jumped wildly on this day, and always felt as if he had missed something, when he rearranged the information of Gongsun Zhi with 150,000 troops to the south under the city tower, he wanted to piece them together one by one, to see if he could find coherent information and understand Gongsun Zhi's strategic intentions.
"Gongsun Zhi..... is proficient in the way of battle formation, he has 150,000 soldiers and horses......"
"There is also a shortage of ....... grain and straw........
“…… Oops! ”
At the same time as he slammed the desk, the door opened, and a soldier announced outside the door: "General...... Oh no...... Outside..... there is a Xiliang military flag outside, it seems to be Ma Chao...... It also seems to be another group of Xiliang soldiers and horses....."
"Where's the scouts sent out?!"
Li Yan pushed away the pieces of information and stood up, and when he walked quickly to the soldier, the other party's face was obviously panicked: "The scouts sent at noon today have not returned. ”
Walking out of the city tower, outside Mianzhu Pass, a banner with the word "horse" was displayed, and the mighty Xiliang cavalry was galloping around outside the city, and on the other side, under the banner of the word "Guo", the Xiliang infantry soldiers with black pressure advanced towards this side, Li Yan gasped, "Gongsun Zhi didn't put the main force on the Nanban army at all......
And he will be just a pawn to delay the opponent.
"Burn down the granary......" In the sound of siege drums, Li Yan commanded softly.
