Chapter 1078: All the Way West (34)

"Kill!" Xu Chu, who was wide-eyed, clenched the Xueliang broadsword in both hands, roared angrily, and slashed forward at a Roman soldier in front of him who hurriedly raised his shield to resist.

The screeching sound of metal clashes. The shield in the hands of the Roman soldier was violently split, and the sharp long knife slashed into the shoulder of the Roman soldier. The tremendous inertia unloaded the shoulders of the Roman soldiers with unparalleled force.

In the screams of the Roman soldiers, Xu Chu waved his knife with his backhand and cut off the head of the Roman soldier.

He raised his hand and wiped the blood splattered on his face. Taking a deep breath, Xu Chu picked up his long knife and rushed forward towards another Roman soldier who lunged at him. The war knife flew and roared, and Xu Chu, who was covered in blood, slashed left and right like a tiger descending from the mountain, and cut down seven or eight Roman soldiers beside him one after another.

Xu Chu's performance greatly inspired the Han soldiers who fought with him. The personal bravery of military generals in this era has an incomparably powerful effect on the morale of the army.

Hundreds of Han soldiers armed with swords and guns shouted and crushed the resistance of the Roman soldiers in front of them and entered the main Roman square. It was the heart of the entire Roman Empire.

A large number of Han troops followed Xu Chu across the Palatine Hill and defeated the resistance of thousands of Roman soldiers near the single-arched Arch of Titus. Then advance to the three-arched Arch of Constantine next to the Colosseum.

Here, the Han army led by Xu Chu encountered the most stubborn resistance. Nearly 2,000 Roman soldiers, including more than 300 soldiers of the Roman elite legion, launched a powerful counterattack against this Han army. They had to repel the Han attack, as the heart of Rome was behind them.

The Han army rained down on the Romans who were not wearing heavy armor and shields. However, after this period of warfare, the Romans changed very quickly. They dug up all sorts of strange things from all over the city to protect themselves. From door panels to tables and chairs, from iron pots to various sacrificial utensils. The Romans learned and grew rapidly in the midst of war.

Some tables and chairs made of fine wood were effective in stopping the Han army's crossbow attacks. There are also very thick metal vessels that are also effective against the arrows of the Han army. Over time, the Romans became more and more experienced. The lethal effect of the bow and crossbow in the hands of the Han army is decreasing little by little.

The Han army was not a weapon-only army. Gao Yang also never thought of arming this army with only advanced weapons. When powerful weapons in the hands are of little use. The Han army could choose to rush up to hand-to-hand combat. This is where the Han army is the most powerful, and it is also the place where they usually train the most rigorously.

The Han army originally started as foot soldiers, and its strict training and good physique gave the Han army a faint upper hand in hand-to-hand combat with the Romans.

The Han army in this era was basically a group of strong men with tigers on their backs. After the baptism of the long westward expedition. Their tactical literacy and fighting will were far from being comparable to those of Roman citizens who had been improvised by them.

Even in an unfavorable situation, these sturdy men can still form a tight battle formation and use their skilled martial arts. Tacit cooperation and superior physical fitness crushed the desperate resistance of the Romans.

Xu Chu, who fell into a state of rage, struggled to swing the long knife in his hand. Wherever the sword passes, there is no one at all. One Roman soldier after another was beheaded by him. Even officers such as senior centurions and millurions were included.

Xu Chu's body was wearing a special armor brought by Gao Yang from modern time and space. This fully protected alloy armor is not only lightweight, but also good for battlefield operations. And the texture is exceptionally sturdy. In order to deal with Xu Chu, a fierce general, the Romans not only sent heavy troops to besiege, but also used bows and arrows to throw guns. But none of these things can break the defenses.

"Kill!"

The thousands of Han soldiers who followed Xu Chu in battle ignored the resistance of the Romans. Killed the Arch of Constantine and rushed all the way to the vicinity of the Colosseum.

"What is this?" Covered in blood, the originally beautifully crafted bright silver battle armor had been completely soaked in blood into bright red, Xu Chu watched as the scattered Roman soldiers fled into the huge circular building in front of him. Asked in confusion.

"I don't know." The general on the side shook his head and said.

Gao Yang did not give the Han army a travel guide to the city of Rome, so they naturally did not know that this was the famous Colosseum.

"No matter, kill it!" The strong strength and continuous victories of the Han army greatly stimulated the morale of the soldiers and generals. They are now thinking more about how to make military achievements. As for the threat of the Romans, they really didn't pay attention to it.

Hundreds of men were left to hold on to the entrance, waiting for the arrival of subsequent reinforcements. Xu Chu led hundreds of Han soldiers into the Colosseum, following the Roman soldiers who had fled.

"This is!?" After Xu Chu led people into the Colosseum, he was stunned to find that this was actually a huge stage. A stage of life and death.

The exits around were sealed, leaving only the exit of a black hole. On the steps on all sides, hundreds of Roman soldiers shot arrows, javelins and stones at them. The only one left was the roar of wild beasts, and one hungry beast after another rushed out of the exit.

"General! Let's go back first! The general beside Xu Chu loudly persuaded Xu Chu to withdraw first. It's clear that this is an extremely unfavorable Jedi.

"How many barbarians have we killed since we followed Lord Taiwei's westward expedition? How many beasts have you killed? What to return? Kill the thief with me! Xu Chu raised the long knife in his hand to block the bow and arrow. Turning around, he yelled angrily at the large number of sergeants behind him.

"Whoa!" None of the Han soldiers who killed all the way to Rome City were of a bad breed, and they were inspired by Xu Chu's words, and they all shouted and followed Xu Chu to kill them.

"Phew!" Xu Chu, who was as burly as a giant bear, suddenly flashed sideways, and a male lion with golden fluff on his neck. The long knife in his hand rose and fell like lightning. Slashed at the lion's neck!

Xu Chu's strength is very strong. The long knife in his hand is a high-quality alloy product produced by modern industry. He chopped off the head of this fierce male lion in one fell swoop!

Such a fierce performance immediately aroused the cheers of the Han soldiers, but the Roman soldiers on the steps around them felt a chill in their hearts, is this still human?!

The Han sergeants formed a formation and used their crossbows to shoot at the Roman soldiers on the steps. And Xu Chu took the lead in leading a group of fierce men to kill those fierce beasts. This scene is definitely more spectacular than the gladiatorial battles at the height of the city of Rome!

In the fight between man and beast, it is generally the beast that has the advantage in all aspects to win. However, when a person is equipped with a powerful weapon, and at the same time has a high level of martial arts, and is not at all afraid in his heart, he is more likely to win. Especially in this group of people, there is a fierce and powerful fierce man like Xu Chu.

After a bloody battle, Xu Chu killed three lions, a giant bear and a fierce tiger alone! The Romans originally wanted to use the power of beasts against the powerful Han army. I didn't expect this to be the result.

The Roman soldiers guarding the Colosseum broke up. They felt that they could not fight against the alien armies that could defeat the beasts. Leaving behind hundreds of corpses and wounded, the Roman soldiers scattered and fled the huge Colosseum.

"Ha~ha~~" Xu Chu, who was panting heavily, sat on the tiger that was disemboweled. Because of the long battle caused by the loss of force. Xu Chu's thick palms were trembling at the moment.

patting the armor covered with sticky blood stains on his body, Xu Chu nodded with satisfaction. This sturdy armor has saved him many times. Today is no exception.

The huge tiger underneath the ass was fierce. Even Xu Chu was scratched on the chest by this beast. If it weren't for the protection of this sturdy battle armor, he Xu Chu would probably have to be disemboweled.

"That's a good thing." Xu Chu grinned. Raising his hand to wipe his chapped lips, he thought to himself, "This armor and this knife must be left as heirlooms for children." ”

The sound of dull footsteps sounded, and a large group of Han sergeants rushed in from the entrance. Seeing the bloody scene in front of them, looking at the corpses of the fierce beasts, they all closed their mouths in surprise.

"You can do it." Dian Wei, who was five big and three thick, stepped to Xu Chu's side, looked at the huge tiger under him, and smacked his tongue.

"Hey, hey." Xu Chu laughed proudly, "Let's kill some big insects or something, can it still be a thing?" I'm going to stew and eat meat with these big insects tonight! ”

"Oh?" Dian Wei laughed, looked at Xu Chu and said, "Then you have to eat a few more tigers. Whipping. I heard that you have gathered four barbarian concubines? I see that you can't stand up now, I'm afraid you've been squeezed dry, right? ”

"Shh When a man talks about this kind of thing, he must not say no. Even at this time, Xu Chu's legs and stomach, which were already tired, were trembling, and he suddenly jumped up after listening to Dian Wei's words. Hold your head high and shout "Fart!" We don't have to eat anything for a night to settle ten! ”

"Hahaha~~~" The Han soldiers around them all laughed loudly when they heard it. In the boring military career, this kind of topic is the favorite of all sergeants.

A large number of elite Han troops entered the Roman Forum and occupied the surrounding centers of Roman administration. This also meant that the core area of the Romans had fallen into the hands of the Han army.

Facing the Han army, which is as powerful as a mountain. The Romans struggled and resisted. But they all failed. Since the beginning of the war, more than 100,000 Romans have been killed by the butcher's knife of the foreign army. The losses were far greater than any previous large-scale war. What's more, this is only the loss of Roman soldiers.

The blood of the Romans was running dry. How long can they hold out? Gao Yang didn't know, he only knew that he was very close to victory now. (To be continued)
