"Lord Duke, do you give the order?"

Alan licked his lips and narrowed his eyes. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Inform Augustus and ask him to send someone to explore the way. At the same time, let Robin Hood cover them with an archery team. “

"Obey!"

The herald mounted his horse and galloped away.

Honk~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The sound of the trumpet was like a thunderclap, which exploded between the two armies.

Augustus received the order and judged slightly. Then he waved his hand and said, "The last squadron!" ”

Da! Da! Da!

"Forward!"

"Roar!"

One squadron, that is, five hundreds, broke out of Allen's central army. With neat steps, holding his shield, he approached Reynard's array step by step.

And just as the infantry of the five hundred legions was moving. Renard's archers were ready.

A thousand archers were deployed at the forefront of the array, and when they spotted the attack on Allen's side, they quickly drew their bowstrings at the command of their commander.

The distance of 200 meters was very close, and the infantry of the five hundred legions seemed to be walking slowly, but in a few moments, they advanced more than fifty meters and were already within the range of the archers.

Reynard's archers, without a trace of mercy, gave an order.

"Put!"

The sharp arrows that came out of the string formed a dense rain of arrows in the air, falling straight towards the infantry of the five hundred legions. The sharp arrow pierced the air in the air, making a "whoosh" sound, as if it was a warning from the Grim Reaper in advance.

Maybe if the opponent wasn't Allen's legionary infantry, then this one would at least allow him to take a few lives. But maybe after all, yes, maybe.

At the moment when the bow and arrow left the string, a loud roar echoed in the middle of the battlefield.

"Tortoiseshell Formation!"

That's right, it was the tortoiseshell formation that the Roman legions were famous all over the world. This formation is effective against long-range strikes, and ordinary bows and arrows can hardly do damage. Unless it is a catapult, ballista, crossbow or other weapons of war, or an armor-piercing weapon, it can break its defenses.

With the squadron leader's order, the five squads moved quickly. The square shields in the hands of the soldiers played a powerful combination at this moment. Under the combination of dozens of shields, five huge square shield arrays appeared in front of him.

Each squad was connected with shields around the perimeter, and even the top of their heads was covered with shields. Compared with the round shield, the square shield is undoubtedly more advantageous in the overall battle.

Bows and arrows rained down, but only a series of "doo" sounds were heard. Then I saw that many bows and arrows had fallen on the tight shield array, and the soldiers inside were not hurt at all.

"Keep shooting, don't stop!"

The rain of arrows on Rollin's side did not stop, and they were still releasing long-range barrage strikes. But this did not have the slightest effect on the tight tortoiseshell formation. Not even a single stop could be done to stop the Legion's infantry.

While Rollin's archers were desperately pouring arrows at the five hundred legionnaires, Robin Hood with a thousand archers also began to cover the attack. And their target is none other than the archers of the Kingdom of Rollin.

This time, however, the Rollin archers didn't have the tortoiseshell formations of legionnaires to fend off their bows and arrows. The arrows fell to the ground in a miserable rain of arrows, and dozens of people were injured and wailed on the ground in a moment. And this is just Robin Hood's first round of arrows.

"Order the archers to stand back, a thousand-man team! Let me see what else the other person can do! Renard gave the order without changing his face.

Soon Rollin's archers withdrew to the first array. At the same time, a thousand-strong squad of heavily armed spearmen with spears in hand marched out of the crowd with untidy steps.

The duel of the heavy infantry began.

The commander of the legionnaires, seeing that the enemy's bows and arrows had stopped, quickly disbanded the tortoiseshell formation, and re-formed a squadron of five hundred men. At the same time, he observed the approach of the spearmen on the opposite side.

50 meters is a suitable charging distance for both cavalry and infantry. And that's the distance between the hoplites on both sides today.

"Charge! Charge! Kill them all! Rollin's heavily armed spearmen were the first to charge. The three-meter-long spear stood straight ahead, and as long as it didn't meet Allen's phalanx infantry, they were guaranteed to send the spear into the enemy's body before the opponent killed him. Not only is it a weapon to restrain cavalry, but it is also effective against infantry armed with short-range equipment. In particular, Allen's legionary infantry used no more than fifty or sixty centimeter short swords.

However, as the infantry of the Legion of Essis, who had been specially trained by Allen and inherited the experience of the Roman legions on the earth, they thought that they would not be without their usual routine.

Javelin!

These diamond-shaped javelins, which are about two meters long, are terrifying in their lethality at close range. It can almost be said that it touches certain death. Not to mention the double-layer chain armor, even if it is a sturdy knight's armor, as long as it is facing head-on, it will not escape the result of opening a hole.

Historically, such a powerful medium-range strike weapon was also equipped with cavalry as the main weapon, and a unique javelin cavalry was developed.

At the moment when the Rollin soldiers launched a charge, the infantry of the five hundred legions, under the command of the squadron leader, raised their right hands backwards one after another, looking up at the sky at a forty-five degree angle. Then, under the same command, the javelin was thrown with all his might.

Five hundred javelins, like meteors, cut a perfect arc in the air, and under the pull of gravity, they fiercely pierced into Rollin's charging team.

In an instant, the path of the Rollin soldiers was full of Esis's javelins, some of which were still strung with human bodies. Blood splattered out, scaring the surrounding soldiers enough.

Just like that, the charging team suddenly scattered in all directions, and the original formation collapsed directly.

This time it was finally the turn of the legion infantry to perform, and I saw the squadron leader raise his right short sword and shout, "Kill!" ”

Five hundred legionnaires maintained a tight formation and rushed directly into the ranks of the Rollin soldiers, taking their lives while many were still terrified of the javelin rain just now.

"Sure enough, there are two strikes, and the army of Ouranos is indeed powerful. Unexpectedly, he was able to fight against twice the number of troops and was not inferior, and George was unjustly defeated. Renard secretly admired that he had finally recognized Allen's strength. Of course, this also made him pay more and more attention to it. "But I'm definitely going to win the first battle of Renard's return!"

"One more team of thousands, kill them for me! Can't let one go! ”

"Yes!"

Soon, another team of 1,000 men left Rollin's army formation and rushed directly towards Allen's five hundred soldiers.

The situation on the battlefield Alan has been paying close attention. When he saw that Renard had shot another thousand people and planned to annihilate his own five hundred, he showed a look of surprise.

"Inform Augustus, get a thousand-man team, and at the same time remove his men!"

"Yes!"

The battle between Renard and Allen has officially begun! (To be continued.) )
