When the strength of the two armies is in equilibrium, the balance of victory will only tilt in favor of the better equipped, more effective command, stronger will, and more physical strength.

Along the way, the Qin army, which arrived at the city of Rome slowly and leisurely, was completely a new force, and the sophisticated equipment even made the professional army of Rome feel ashamed of themselves, and Pang Juan's command art was world-class, all of which made this battle without any suspense.

Syelde's 5,000 fully armored cavalry broke through the first layer of the Gauls' defense line and then cleverly went around the Gauls' flank, this kind of swipe-and-go way of charging is actually a great test of the commander's command art and cavalry equestrian skills, they are like the heavy lancers of the European Middle Ages, with the help of horsepower and elongated cavalry spears in the Gauls military formation poked a 'transparent hole', the Gallic soldiers in the rear did not even have time to react, they saw these mysterious oriental cavalry like butterflies flying to their flanks.

When their commander was still in a daze, the high-pitched and loud war song of the old Qin people had already come into his ears, and then he heard the huge shock of the bowstring, and the sky was full of buzzing sounds, and when he looked up, he saw that there was a terrible 'dark cloud' in the air, which was the sharpest bow and crossbow of the Qin people, and it was the biggest nemesis of their fierce attack but lack of defense.

Tens of millions of arrows drew beautiful parabolas in free fall and landed in the Gauls. The poor Gauls did not have the fine armor of the Roman army and the beautiful half-length shields of the works of art.

If it was the Roman hoplites who could not hurry up and put out the tortoiseshell array that they were proud of, although the Qin people's bows and crossbows were powerful, they could not cause them much damage, but the Gauls had no experience in dealing with this kind of dense arrow rain at all, and they had also encountered long-range attacks from the Romans, but in the Roman army that admired thick armor and heavy guns, although bows and arrows were also used. But it is still dominated by more powerful throwing guns, where have you seen this madness of arrows raining down?

The Gallic barbarians, who were generally about a foot tall, screamed, and many of them were in a hurry to hide with only a pair of leather pants, but where could they hide? Their tall stature was simply the best target, and Qin Jun didn't even need to aim much, as long as he closed his eyes and shot the arrow, it was over. Then they waited for the Gauls to turn into hedgehogs and fall to the ground screaming.

The spectacle was so frightening that even Marcus and the nobles of Rome, who were watching from the top of the city of Rome, could not help but be frightened; Bows and arrows were never valued in the Roman army, because bows and arrows were far less powerful than throwing spears for the fine armor of Roman soldiers, but when faced with 100,000 Gallic barbarians, a limited number of throwing spears became a ridiculous thing, and Roman spearthrowers would often hold the last throwing spear and be reluctant to throw it out

No one thought that the bow and arrow could be exerted to such power, especially the giant arrow in the Qin army's formation, which relied on a few people to wind and then directly wedged into the Gallic army's formation in a parallel shooting manner. The first to bear the brunt was directly shot to pieces, and then the aftermath did not fade, shooting more than a dozen people in a row! There are still such bows and arrows in the world? Can the proud armor of the Romans stop such a terrible bow and arrow?

After the three rounds of arrows of the Qin army, the front army of tens of thousands of people in Gaul had fallen into a state of semi-collapse, and the Qin army's textbook-like infantry phalanx slammed into the Gauls at this time. The first thing the Gauls encountered was the terrifying push and collision of the infantry phalanx, when they were dizzy from the impact of the Qin people's half-body square shield, and they barely lifted their stone axes with all their strength, but they saw the shield soldiers in front of the Qin people let out a neat roar. Thousands of shields turned sideways at the same time with the shout, and countless spears pierced from behind the shields. With a quick stab, he brought up patches of blood on their bodies.

In this era when Changge was still commonly used in China, the spears designed by Bai Dong had been mass-produced and equipped with Pang Juan's army of the Western Expedition; Compared with the standard Changge, the gun and spear are easier to use with the shield wall, and they can quickly retract and send out multiple attacks after quickly piercing ~ piercing the enemy, which saves the physical strength of the soldier. Faced with this combination of shield walls and spears, the Gauls, whose armor coverage rate did not exceed 20%, were simply a bunch of little white rabbits waiting to be slaughtered

The panicked Gauls collapsed as soon as they discovered that their centennial had been turned into a sieve during one of the enemy's attacks. They began to desperately retreat to the rear, but as soon as they turned their bodies, countless Changge, which were three feet longer than spears, stretched out from the Qin army's formation, and the Changge with sharp horizontal branches easily hooked their chests and even necks, and then gently pulled and turned. It was like reaping their lives like wheat!

At this time, Syord's cavalry had successfully made a big circle on the flank of the Gauls, and the horsepower was increased to ten percent again, and they broke into the front Gallic army formation from the flank!

Under this successive blows, the strong and tall Gauls had no power to parry at all, and when the Qin army's Broken Formation Legion really cut into their military formation, it was just a round of hand-to-hand combat that caused them to have a terrible rout of the whole army!

In this era of cold weapons, once the army collapse and waver, the result will inevitably be catastrophic, even an army of 100,000 people will be wiped out by thousands of enemies because of the collapse of the army array. What's more, the Gauls don't have the concept of a military formation at all, but Pang Juan has brought the art of military formation to the extreme!

Marcus and the Roman nobles standing at the head of the Roman city saw it most clearly, when the Gauls' military array collapsed, the line of the Qin army that was then covered began to change miraculously, each Qin army array was still so neat and uniform, and the shield bearers, pikemen, archers, and Changge hands in the phalanx were not chaotic at all, but the thousand-man phalanx of hundreds of Qin troops gradually divided into three groups in the process of pursuing the enemy.

The first group is stable in front and has its wings outstretched, like the mouth of a monster trying to devour its enemies; The second group was far behind the home of the Gallic king, and at the same time formed an impregnable wall, ready to harvest the defeated Gallic army; The third group was the headquarters of the Qin commanders, and the entire forty thousand squares were spread far into the southern sky, and while continuing to inflict terror and coercion on the Gauls, they could send reserve forces at any time to deal with any changes in the battlefield.

'The highest secret of war is to leave enough reserves at all times, which is the secret of becoming a great commander' - a Roman war proverb.

Looking at the well-equipped and well-trained Qin soldiers and the forty thousand immovable black-armored soldiers on the battlefield, Marcus's body couldn't help but tremble, and he looked at Jing Jian with a wry smile: "Is this your Qin army?" Who is the commander-in-chief? ”

"The cavalry commander is a student of our Qin State Baizi, his name is Syord, and he has some Greek blood. The commander of the whole army is named Pang Juan, even in our Huaxia, he is also a first-class god of war."

Marcus glanced at Pang Juan's home formation again, and couldn't help but swallow and spit out: "Sure enough, he is a god of war-like figure, and the army he commands can only be compared with the most elite Roman legions" (To be continued.) )
