Chapter 1061: All the Way West (18)

"Shoot the arrows! Shoot the arrow!! Shoot the !! "After several rounds of intense rain of arrows, most of the thousands of Greek cannon fodder were lying in pools of blood. Only a few lucky ones trembled in the dense crowd of corpses.

"Push it up." With a wave of Tai Shici's big hand, more than a dozen kings of Greek city-states were tied up and pushed forward under the gaze of countless pairs of eyes.

"Slashed!" There was no procedure for spitting on the ground, and with Tai Shici's big drink, the executioners grabbed the hair of the crying kings and fell with knives! More than a dozen falling human heads shocked countless people.

"These bloodthirsty savages!" Looking at the bloody scene in the distance, the corners of Turus's eyes twitched rapidly. The pressure in his heart began to increase rapidly, if he was defeated......

"This is what happens when you don't obey orders!" Tai Shi Ci stood in front of the trembling kings of the Greek city-states, and shouted, "Whoever dares to retreat, not only will the soldiers be killed, but the king will also die!" Also, his territory will be taken back, and his family will be sold as slaves! Do you all understand?! ”

Under the threat of this red fruit interest, all the Greeks were red-eyed. They didn't dare to resist the Han army, so they could only choose to desperately kill the Romans who looked weaker than them! There are even many kings who have personally joined the front line of the battle!

War became brutal in an instant.

"These Westerners are not worse than us in terms of fighting will? The loss is so big, and it's like no one. Gao Yang smacked his lips, put down the telescope in his hand, and said with some surprise.

“...... Aren't they all forced by you? The origin replied helplessly.

"Hey, hey." Gao Yang said with a smile: "Cannon fodder must have the consciousness of cannon fodder." Where in the world will there be a pie in the sky good thing? It helped them get rid of Roman colonial rule, and also reaped a lot of benefits from the Roman legacy. As for the revenge of the Romans, there were also Han legions to block them. How is it possible for such a good thing to do without paying a price? ”

"That's a big deal." The origin said with some emotion.

On the battlefield in the distance, the Greeks in gray and messy costumes were already entangled with the main Roman legions in red costumes. The Greeks even far exceeded Gao Yang's expectations. Not only did they succeed in doing what cannon fodder should do, but they even stormed the Roman army!

When people are cornered and break out in a desperate situation. The power that can erupt is terrifying, especially with so many people erupting together.

Thousands of red-eyed Greeks roared madly and rushed past the Romans' spears and bows. Without slowing down, it slammed into the Romans' shield array!

'Puff~~~'The Roman soldiers leaned on their shoulders against their shields, and the sharp short swords in their hands desperately thrust into the gaps between the shields! The Greeks, who were crammed into their shields, were almost all opened. The earth was stained red with the blood of the Polber, and it stained the shield array of the Romans red.

The Romans were able to become a hegemonic empire like the Han Empire, and their lead in all aspects was all-round.

It's as if the armor, shields, and weapons of the Romans were all made of iron. This is a symbol of the progress of the times, the Romans have entered the Iron Age. The Greeks who attacked them still had many of them using primitive bronze weapons. Moreover, few of the Greeks had armor and shields. They're more just fighting on their bodies.

Now the battlefield looks as if the Greeks are pressing the Romans in dense formations, but in fact the exchange of forces and losses between the two sides is completely disproportionate. The front of the Romans' tortoiseshell array was already covered with corpses, and the layers were getting higher and higher. The blood that flowed from these corpses had completely dyed the earth-gray earth black and purple!

The offensive of the Greeks continued. They roared, brandished their weapons and jumped from the top of the Romans' tortoiseshell array as they stepped on the thigh-high pile of corpses, and soon inflicted considerable losses on the Romans. And. This completely lethal style of play gradually began to disrupt the dense formation of the Romans.

"Stand back, stand back! Regroup! The centurions and millurions of the Roman legions on the front line were keenly aware of the danger, and shouted loudly for their men to retreat, to give way to the Greeks. At the same time, these front-line commanders were constantly urging the sergeants to throw spears in order to stop the continuous tide of Greek attacks.

"Good." Turus, who was watching the battle from behind, nodded in satisfaction. His legions were the true elite of Rome, veterans of bloody battles with barbarians everywhere. They are calm, they are experienced. These veterans were far from being comparable to those of the legions stationed in the prosperous and wealthy provinces. Especially the three Eagle Legions who participated in the expedition against the Parthian Empire, they were the pride of all of Rome.

The Greeks were on the offensive. But the losses were staggering. Under the threat of bows and crossbows in the hands of the Han army, under the coercion of various mad kings and nobles. These Greeks are losing lives at an alarming rate. In just half an hour, the tens of thousands of Greeks who participated in the attack had already lost more than a third of the battle!

This kind of battle loss rate is unthinkable in the era of cold weapons. Changing places at will, this army would have collapsed long ago. It's just that now they have no choice under all kinds of coercion, and at the same time, they themselves have fallen into an inexplicable excitement because of the violent external environment. That's what makes it last so long. Merely. All their potential has been exhausted.

"That's good." Gao Yang, who was standing on the hill, nodded with satisfaction.

Although the losses of the Greeks were so great, they were only exchanged for the loss of a few thousand regular Roman legions. But Gao Yang still gave a positive assessment of their performance. Courage is the first quality of a soldier. Whatever the reason for them to be brave, as long as they can be brave enough to fight. That's enough to be satisfying.

"Almost, huh?" Yuan said softly: "If you continue to fight, it is estimated that they will collapse." The losses are too great. ”

"I know." Gao Yang withdrew his gaze from the battlefield where tens of thousands of people were desperately shouting and fighting in the distance, raised his hand and pinched his chin, and muttered slightly for a moment. Turning to look at the generals behind him, he said in a deep voice, "Pass my order, the legion will attack!" ”

The sound of bull horns spread throughout the mountains, and the dense banners waved violently.

The huge legions of the Han army began to move slowly under the guidance of first-class generals. One after another, the 10,000-strong army formation slowly approached the main battlefield in front of them with resolute steps.

The Greeks, who had been squeezed to the last drop of oil and water, finally heard the call to withdraw their troops. All the exhausted Greeks regarded this trumpet as a blessing from the Olympian gods, and the moment before they were furiously and fearless of life and death, they launched a decisive charge against the tortoiseshell array of the Romans. The next moment, all the remaining Greeks rumbled away like a tide. Withdraw from the battlefield with the last of their strength from both sides of the huge military formation.

"Whole team, whole team! The wounded are withdrawn, and the reserves fill their positions! Hurry up and hurry up!! "The experienced centurions of the Roman legions, who were the backbone of the legions, began to frantically reorganize their ranks. Because the intuition on the battlefield tells these veterans that a powerful enemy is coming.

The floating soil on the ground began to tremble slightly. It's not an earthquake anymore, it's the resonance caused by too many pairs of heavy feet on the ground. More than a dozen huge formations of 10,000 men slowly approached the Romans' positions, putting great pressure on the Romans.

"It can't be!" With a look of disbelief on his face, Turus looked at the vast alien army on the other side, which could not be seen at a glance. The neat steps, the metal armor weapons that glistened in the sunlight. The formidable momentum of the Greek militia that is completely impossible to have, as well as the tight and dense formation, all show that those are the elite of the alien army!

"Didn't you say that the main forces of the alien armies were fighting fiercely with Nigel in the provinces of Egypt? Isn't it said that the number of alien flank armies in Greece was not so large? Could it be that all these extra troops jumped off Mount Olympia!? Turus grabbed his hair hard and roared in a frenzied voice.

Turus can't be blamed for being angry and going berserk. He had not considered that the Han army would have large-scale reinforcements. All he thought about was successfully defeating those Greek militias, and then fighting a decisive battle with the under-strengthened Han army. I didn't think that there would be tens of thousands of more elite Han soldiers appearing.

Turus considered his legion to be about the same strength as the Han army. With the advantage of fighting on the inside and the brave spirit and his own superb command tactics, he has a great chance of winning. But the extra Han army instantly shattered his confidence. At this time, he couldn't do it even if he wanted to withdraw from the army. On the battlefield, especially on such a large scale, where can you walk if you want?

"Shoot!" As the Han general waved his sword forward, a series of dense machine triggering sounds, a dense rain of arrows like a swarm of locusts rose into the air. After tearing through the air and slashing through the air, it fell heavily into the dense military formation of the Romans.

A series of dense sounds rang out. It was the sound of sharp arrows hitting metal shields. From time to time, there are also screams of unlucky eggs, and the tortoiseshell array is not completely free of a single gap.

The dense rain of arrows that used to be invincible did not have much effect at the moment. The soldiers of the elite Roman legions successfully resisted the most powerful weapon of the Han army with a dense tortoiseshell formation!

"That's it!" Seeing this, Turus almost jumped up in excitement. That's where his courage before the war came from!

Turus analyzed it and concluded that the most powerful part of the alien armies was their sharp and dense rain of arrows. And the Roman legion's tortoiseshell array should be able to resist it. The current situation on the battlefield showed that his speculation was correct. Even though there was a high probability that the battle would result in defeat due to the disparity in numbers, Turus would have been very helpful to the main army in Rome because he had found a tactic to restrain the Han army.
