[Chapter 97: Lust for Shame, Remnant Riding Cracked Armor] (I)
The banner was flipped over, and the Romans were resting on the hills opposite, but the able-bodied men had already risen and lined up again, draped their heavy armor over their bodies. The replacement heavy swords were also delivered to them, and the two winged light horsemen were also replaced with reserve horses, ready to attack again.
They also couldn't believe it, after seven or eight attacks, even the army of the most powerful thunder god of the Germanic barbarians, Cole, had already collapsed, but in front of them, the formation of the Han army, which had been pursued for a day and was already exhausted, had been suppressed and reduced by half, but it still maintained a complete array of them.
Everyone in the Han soldiers stood straight, and at this moment, even the groans of the wounded near the left side of the Great Han Emperor's banner stopped abruptly. The Roman warriors looked at everything in front of them in confusion, and suddenly they heard an earth-shattering shout.
"The Han army is mighty! Long live the Great Han! ”
The shouts came like a tsunami, and the spears and knives in the hands of the soldiers of the Han army shook slightly like the waves of the Caspian Sea. Patches of dazzling light reflected in the sunlight.
At this moment, every Roman warrior was thrilled. The Han army in front of them seemed to be a time hand that they couldn't destroy!
Abbas had completely collapsed, looking at the array of the Han army, his eyes were red, but his lips were constantly trembling, like a seriously injured wild dog, wanting to pounce on it and bite its prey again, but he didn't have that guts.
Congnez's previously slightly relaxed demeanor was completely gone, replaced by a solemn expression. Speaking of which, Congennes always showed a very short temper in front of Rovinis, but when he really led the army, he seemed very calm. How is this dual personality caused?
Slivenson had already taken a few steps back, his eyes looking at the big man Bohai Marquis standing at the front, already full of awe. Such a terrible opponent. Sleinvenson's vaunted calculations had lost their effect - according to his calculations, this ambush battle should have been won no matter how it was fought?! How did it come to this?
Slivenson didn't understand, and neither did the Roman soldiers of the Redcoats.
Here, the Han army has been sharply reduced from the initial 4,800 people to more than 2,000 now. The flying cavalry guards were okay, there were more than 600 horsemen, but the Han army, which was in the form of foot combat in the middle, was the most seriously attritional, with a total of more than 1,000 casualties...... If the armies of the West have to retreat when they have reduced their strength to three percent, they will have to retreat when they reach forty percent. It is already possible to declare the disappearance of this team......
The Redcoat Legion fought hard for an hour, and there were more than a thousand people lying here, and the dense corpses crowded the small plain of Zimu.
To the north of the Han Dynasty, this Han army still stood tall under heaven and earth, and encountered fierce battles with the Roman legions. Both sides have paid a considerable price. Now, it's up to who can fight to withstand the huge casualties!
The rays of the summer sunset slanted in this phalanx. Still with a scorching heat wave. The spear tips of the Han army and their armor. Every bit of light reflected the light of the cold forest.
Conganes gritted his teeth: "Wave the flag and show war!" ”
The Roman soldiers once again mustered up their strength and swept towards the Han army.
The Roman warriors, whether on foot or on horse, had only temporarily retreated to take a breather on the hill where the commander was located, and they were going to fight again. For them, no matter how many times the battle is charged, it is not over as long as the enemy does not collapse.
Every impact made them think that these Han people were about to collapse, but these Han people survived every impact on them. Those Han soldiers struggled to stand in line. Spear and bayonet at them, and if they fall, one will make up for it. The cavalry behind them was also constantly changing horses, constantly catching up with the Yueshi cavalry who was whistling and sweeping the wings, and the two sides fought fiercely on the horses, cursing each other loudly. Each time, the Yue's cavalry, which had not let the two wings outflanked, really swept into the back of this phalanx.
The assault of the heavily armored foot soldiers broke into the Han array, no matter how many times. There were always people who were desperately entangled around them, and the wounded men fell to the ground and held their legs, trying to knock them down until they were beaten out again and again.
These Roman warriors are all elite armor soldiers of the Red Legion, and they are also fierce people in the Roman Legion. This time, they didn't even catch their breath when they retreated, and they were ready to form a formation and pounce again.
They also gritted their teeth and swore in their hearts: this time, this time, they will crush the Han array, let them turn around and run. Trample on the soles of their feet with the Great Han Emperor Banner that is always hunting and dancing. Hunt them down and turn their faces to the west one by one, and let the boots of the Roman warriors step on their faces......
But the shout that suddenly erupted in front of them, as well as the array that never saw the scattered, made them suddenly feel for the first time that the Han people in front of them could not be crushed by them today.
On the hills, Han Biao rode his horse to Abbas's side, repeatedly charging into battle seven or eight times, the tragic fighting, and the tough time hand had already made the blood of the irascible number one general beside Abbas boil!
The guard department of the Sixth Legion of the Yue Clan can't fight anymore, the old soldiers are almost dead, and they must always leave some seeds. But the cavalry is okay! He still has 400 cavalry under his command, and he will definitely be able to defeat the Han Chinese with the help of the Romans!
"Your Highness, Lao Han is ready to go!" The fierceness on Han Biao's face was undoubtedly revealed, although he was over forty years old, the aura of being willing to cut was becoming more and more obvious.
Abbas looked at Shen Yun, who had never retreated in front of the Han army, his majestic body, dazzling armor, and his eyes that showed their edge under the helmet all reflected his courage and ability.
"Uncle Han, can we really win? Either or not......" A hint of hesitation and vacillation flashed in Abbas' eyes. At this moment, he lost confidence in the future of the Yue people.
This realization made Han Biao completely furious. His irritable horseback circled, looking at the bright moon floating in the sea behind Abbas, and dozens of cavalry specially selected by him to protect the rear of the whole army, all of whom had sufficient physical strength and could play the most backbone of the military armament at any time.
Every time they pounced, the Roman light cavalry that retreated to the left shouted loudly, the Han army is not done, the Han army is not done, and the next time they rush to the past, they will definitely be crushed.
Every time he heard such a shout, Han Biao was extremely anxious. In the next pounce, as long as he attacks with the elite under his command, he can make the greatest contribution to capturing the flag! But at this time, Abbas hesitated, could it be that His Royal Highness the prince had lost his ambition to make progress? Could it be that because of today's war, this prince, who was pinned on by all the Yue clan's people, is about to change his color and collapse from now on?
No, absolutely not!
Han Biao suddenly burst out and slapped Abbas fiercely. The sound was so loud that everyone on the hill looked at it, and even Congennes and Sleinvenson were attracted by the noise, and looked at them strangely.
Abbas was at a loss. He was furious, and when he was about to speak, Han Biao puffed, pushed the golden mountain and knelt in front of Abbas like a jade pillar, and cried bitterly: "Your Highness." We haven't lost yet, we can still win! Let me go, right? I can't say anything else. But I know. The Han people are the mortal enemies of my Han family, and in this life, my Linzi Han family will fight against the Han people for generations! If His Highness feels that there is no hope of winning, then my old Han is willing to prove to His Highness with full of enthusiasm that the Han people are definitely not our opponents! We can win! ”
Abbas was stunned, his face still hot, but he finally came to his senses. The hesitant and dodging eyes returned to their former composure and calmness. He said coldly: "Han Biao, if you commit the following crimes, you should be punished according to the crime!" Now, I order you to go and take the head of the Marquis of Bohai of the Great Han Dynasty to atone for your crimes! ”
Han Biao's old face flashed with joy. Tengdi jumped up and shouted: "Your Highness look at it, my old Han will definitely be able to take down the Marquis of Bohai of the Great Han!" ”
After this attack by the Roman Red Coats, although the Han army tried their best to stabilize the array, everyone could see that the array had been thin to a certain extent, and almost all the Han soldiers were so tired that they couldn't straighten their waists, and they were gasping for breath. Under their imperial flag, the wounded were already lying densely on the ground.
The officers of the Han army in the array couldn't help but look back -- this was a sign that the army's heart was too moved to fight again.
Han Biao, who has been in the position of being annihilated, has followed the King of the Yue Clan since he was ten years old, and has come to his current status step by step, knows that when the two armies are in a circle, and when they fight naked, the most taboo is to look back and watch. Because one person turning back will drive ten, hundred, or even thousands of people to turn back, the people in front can't see what's happening behind, and the people in the back don't know why the robe in front of them turned back, and in this case, it is very easy to shake the morale of the army and cause the whole army to collapse. Therefore, when someone is found on the battlefield to turn back, the officer will carry out the pre-battle military law and immediately behead the person to stabilize the morale of the army. But now that even the Han officers have turned back, doesn't this mean that they can't afford to fight anymore?
Look at the flying cavalry guards outside the military formation, this time they are coming down. Many people don't even have the strength to dismount and change horses again - no matter how elite the flying guards are, they are also human!
If you don't fight at this time, when will you wait?
This is also the foundation of Han Biao's confidence.
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
The array of the Han army was once again tightly organized, everyone straightened their waists, their swords were like a forest, and their armor reflected the sun. The cheers of the mountains and tsunamis swept towards the two people under the double-headed eagle flag.
Conganes watched Han Biao, who was like a fierce tiger, swoop down on the hills, and suddenly laughed lowly: "I thought I would see such a big surprise when His Excellency Rovinis faced the Great Han Marshal Hu Gong!" I didn't expect to be able to see it right here...... How many years has it been since my Roman legions have faced such a tough opponent? Decade? Twenty years? A hundred years? Or five hundred years? ”
In his mind, the armies of the Germanic barbarians, including those of the Germanic barbarians, were just a group of barbarians with weapons, just like the savage tribes in the eastern part of Beihai State, who fought with the wind and retreated for miles at the slightest setback, and then gathered again to find a place where the Romans were weak in terms of defense. As for the peasant rebels, it seemed to Congennes more like a farce. To fight them, it is better to go to the province of Tunis and race camels with the caliphates!
In the past five hundred years, the times have risen and fallen in five hundred years, and the two great powers of the East and the West have never clashed on a large scale, and this kind of battle has never occurred. No one knows if this empire at the top of the world is still as brave and good at fighting as it was 500 years ago, and whether it can still use their bravery to remove all obstacles for the Han people and hold up a new sky!
Now it seems that the martial soul of the Han people has not been extinguished, and the soul of the Han army is even more dazzling, almost comparing the Roman legions!
In an instant, Congnez's relaxed tone became as cold as iron. He rode forward, looked at the formation on the left side of the hills, and also looked at the Roman soldiers in the Han army array, and shouted: "Roman warriors, these Han people are real soldiers who are worthy of you to fight seriously!" We, the Roman legions, crisscrossed the West, and we never met the hands of the time. Five hundred years ago, their ancestors kept us at bay, but today, we are here. Julius Caesar was in Alexandria, and he wrote to the Senate. He said three words: 'I come, I see, I conquer'! Today, you are also here to let Julius Caesar bear witness to our courage. I swear here, in my capacity as the Crown Prince of Rome, that your bravery will make the flag of Rome even more glorious. Let the Chinese people see. We can also 'I come, I see, I conquer'!!
Rush up, for Caesar, for the Empire, for Rome! Rush them out. Let them run away and crush them when they see our double-headed eagle banner in the future, and let them know that the warriors of the Holy Roman Empire are not afraid of any enemy. Because, our Caesar has attached his heroic soul to the flag, and he is watching us! Rush, shred them! ”
The Romans did not lack blood, Caesar is the eternal pride of the Roman Empire, and his glorious image is no less than that of the Han people's Gaozu, Emperor Wu, and even Emperor Shengzu! Immediately, they were aroused by Antony's shouts. Yes, they were the elite warriors of the Holy Roman Empire,
There is no one in the world who is a match for the Romans - neither in the West nor in the East!
Each of the Commanders (the rank and file of the Roman army) was suddenly shouting orders, and the pace of the Roman warriors was speeding up again. Some of the armor soldiers who had been wounded and were about to retire to rest struggled to get up and put on their armor again, and the light horsemen also turned on their horses, shaking their already sorely numb arms, ready to draw their bows and arrows again.
The trumpets sounded, the Roman warriors shouted loudly at the same time, the winged light cavalry had taken the lead, and the central armor warriors also slowly moved forward, and the more ferocious pounce was about to be launched again by these Roman soldiers, who seemed to not know the tiredness.
The fierce battle was like fire, and the warriors of the Han and Roman Asiatic legions were entangled with their lives, and the battle was ten times more fierce than the previous one. Everyone seems to be overdrawing their energy and blood for the next few decades. The Han army never retreated. Unless he dies in battle, he falls from his own ranks. The Roman warriors desperately rushed into the opponent's array, regardless of their casualties, opening the gap and making it huge, and throwing more people in, until the phalanx in front of them seemed to be impossible to shake was completely shattered.
As long as the soldiers on both sides were not dead, they were still scuffling on the ground, until a pair of feet wearing iron-clad combat boots stepped on the armor soldiers who were scuffling on the ground, and as long as they were not dragged down by their robes in time, they were often trampled into flesh.
Shen Yun stood behind the formation, watching the columns of soldiers fill in the columns, everyone forgot to think, as long as they saw where there was a gap, where the figure of the Roman wrapped in a red cloak appeared in the array, he filled it in there under the leadership of the officer. After the brutal hand-to-hand combat, the number of people who could still return was often less than half, and the others were either turned into corpses or wounded, and were carried to the left of the imperial flag.
The wounded numbers near the left side of the imperial banner have been densely packed, some have been out of strength in battle, and some have been wounded. As soon as they wake up, as long as they find that they are not badly wounded, they often struggle to get up, unable to fight in armor, and often use their bodies to pounce on the enemy, and once again join the meat grinder-like battle that seems to be unfilled. When the similarly scarred officers saw them join, they didn't even have time to say a word of consolation, at most they just patted them on the head and fought side by side.
The roar of the fierce battle between the two sides seemed to shake even the summer day in the sky, and it quickly fell westward, and the whole sky suddenly became obscure and inexplicable, only the sky was full of glow, and the residual afterglow still shone on this bloody and bloody plain!
Once it was dark, the Romans who had been fighting hard for a day could not pursue them, not to mention, the Han army could also evacuate this battlefield by night. Although no one could have predicted what would happen later, at least the Han army survived in this battle at an absolute disadvantage. This is definitely a great blow to the Romans and the Yueshi! So, they had to be routed before it was completely dark, that's what all the Romans thought!
Two warriors from different countries, different skin colors, and even different languages just roared and pounced together, engaged in the most tragic battle.
In the space of two hours, the Romans struck four more times, each with the same ferocity. Their cavalry had also been wandering on both sides of the Han army's formation, and the Han rangers were catching up, and both sides did not have much energy to raise the speed of their horses, and they detoured, jumped, and then raised their bows and arrows, but turned into an equally fierce war horse hedging fight. The flank battle between the two sides even extended to the woods five miles away, countless corpses and horse corpses fell to the ground, and the roaring and killing voices of both sides were transmitted in all directions along the summer evening breeze......
At this point in the fierce battle, the Han army still did not retreat half a step.
This encounter that neither side expected, was brutal and fierce, even Liu Zhen and Zhu Neng, the elite of the flying cavalry guards, had never experienced before. They didn't expect that they would be able to support them until now! No matter what the final victory or defeat is, this is a miracle created by Shen Yun, the young Marquis of the Han Dynasty!
And the Roman warriors didn't think about it, how could such a continuous impact, every time it was so fierce, not be able to repel the opponent in front of them?
Shen Yun had a straight face, standing under the imperial flag with a war knife and not moving. There was no one who could fight around him, and everyone, including Fang Cheng, Zhao Xin, and Zhou Hui, all of them filled in. They all dragged their wounded bodies at the front of the front and shouted for a fierce battle.
In front of him, the Roman warriors retreated like a tide with the sound of trumpets. Many soldiers in the Han army forgot the normal feeling of people and stared blankly at everything in front of them. From time to time, someone suddenly vomited two mouthfuls of blood and collapsed into the array. The people around him hurriedly visited, and often found that the cuirass on the warrior's body had been deeply dented by the heavy sword of the Romans, and his ribs had been broken and had been inserted into the internal organs.
Such a blow and still holding out until the Romans retreated! (To be continued......)
