[Chapter 97: Lust for Shame, Remnant Riding Cracked Armor] (II)

The bloody atmosphere was so thick that it permeated the entire battlefield. Shen Yun had long been accustomed to all this, and he glanced at the double-headed eagle banner on the opposite hill, and could only see Abbas, the commander of the Yue Clan, who had been commanding and dispatching the entire army, also looking coldly in his direction.

Although he and Abbas are not engaged in fighting, they have been competing to see who is more stoic, who is more durable, and who is better!

For Abbas, in the case of paying so many elites, he can't afford to lose, and he can't lose, he must take Shen Yun's head to vent his hatred - more importantly, if he dies so many elite henchmen, if he can't get Shen Yun's head, he will also face the exclusion and suppression of several other brothers when he returns to Dihua, but if he gets it, his position will be as stable as Mount Tai, and no one will be able to compete with him for the throne of the Yue Clan...... Therefore, Abbas is not only fighting for this battle, but also for the future of the Yue people!

And for Shen Yun, this is also a battle that cannot be lost. If it was the Yueshi people who were faced at the beginning, Shen Yun might have simply retreated after the flying cavalry guards arrived to relieve the siege, but after the Romans got involved, the nature of all this changed. As the Marquis of Bohai of the Han Dynasty, Shen Yun's ideological realm at this moment absolutely surpassed Abbas, for Abbas, the throne of the Yue clan and repelling the attack of the Han people is the farthest and greatest dream. But for Shen Yun, in the battle in front of him, his only opponent is Rome!

This is no longer a simple battle of ambush and counter-ambush, but the first decisive battle between the Han and Rome in 500 years! If he is defeated, he Shen Yun may never dare to fight these Romans again for the rest of his life! If it really came to that point, Shen Yun would rather take all of them to die here, because if they went back, they would infect more Han soldiers with this emotion! This was a precursor to the continued defeat of the Han army after that!

Shen Yun can't do this!

The soul of the Han army, seeing death as home, is in the Hall of Heroes and Martyrs of the Han Dynasty. They can drink and laugh and talk about the country. What's the point of dying?

β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»

Just as Shen Yun was thinking about death, there was a small commotion in front of him. In the array, I saw Situ Xiaoyue and Fang Xiaorou, one left and one right, supporting Zhao Xin to retreat.

Shen Yun immediately hurried up to meet him. Zhao Xin was reluctantly held by Situ Xiaoyue and Fang Xiaorou, and his left arm hung down softly, unable to use his strength. There were several fresh blood stains on the heart goggles on the cuirass, and it seemed that the battle was so bad that it vomited blood. Seeing Shen Yun coming up, he struggled to get out, but Situ Xiaoyue and Fang Xiaorou, who were as exhausted as him, refused to let go.

"What's wrong with Zhao Xin?" Shen Yun asked quickly.

Fang Xiaorou whispered beside her: "Battalion Commander Zhao's left arm was hit by the heavy sword of the Romans. Although it was not cut head-on, he was afraid that the bones had been broken, and he still had to hold on. It was me and Xiaoyue who forced him down. It's going to get dark, and if we block their next pounce, we'll be able to get out. Camp Commander Zhao, you can rest here for a while! He said. Peeked at Zhao Xinshi. His face couldn't help but blush. But at this moment, everyone is tired and dead, and no one pays attention to the dirty bodies.

Zhao Xin raised his head and smiled reluctantly: "I'm fine, my left hand is not good and my right hand is still right, I can still stand." ”

Zhou Hui staggered and retreated, and Shen Yun stepped forward to support her. She waved her arms, which were already swollen and couldn't lift them, and stroked the hair that was scattered on her sideburns, and smiled slightly.

Shen Yun once again walked to the front of the battle column and stood still. Raising the sword again, he looked around and said with a smile: "It's time for Lao Tzu!" The brethren did not see the last time the Romans retreated. The heavily armored men gasped like oxen, and took their spears as crutches and limped back. The Yueshi cavalry who covered their retreat were on their horses, their waists couldn't stand upright, and their bows couldn't be opened, so they could only shout to block us...... They're not going to do it either, look at how many corpses they've lost here! These guys who don't wear pants are dazzled by the eggs underneath! ”

The soldiers around him burst into laughter. Shen Yun's rude words made them feel relaxed, and their hearts also calmed down, and their hearts were settled a lot, and the strength in their bodies seemed to have returned a little.

Even Zhou Hui and other female soldiers did not blush at all when they heard such vulgar words, but straightened up their full chests, and the pride on their faces was no less than that of male soldiers - in this battle, they did not have any preferential treatment, they also bent their bows and shots, and even had the experience of wielding knives to kill. It can be said that after today, no male soldier dares to despise them anymore!

After saying a few words of lightheartedness, Shen Yun raised his sword and pointed eastward, sinking his face: "I ask you, stand here and don't retreat!" Let the last pounce of the Romans also crush before us! Let them only retreat in front of us. And we will take all the brothers who were wounded in this battle and sacrifice the remains of their brothers and leave here with their heads held high. You will be the heroes of the first frontal defeat of the Roman Empire army in 500 years! ”

After saying that, he even took another step forward. Standing in front of the whole army, alone in the direction of the Romans' attack, the long sword pointed westward, and pointed at the double eagle-headed banner where Conganes was located and shouted loudly:

"Lao Tzu is waiting for you here! No matter how many times you have to pounce, there will always be a man of the Han family who will stand in front of you until the end of this world! ”

At this moment, Shen Yun only felt that his chest was hot and his blood was boiling.

Behind him, shouts rang out at the same time. It burst out from the chest cavity of thousands of Han family children, after violent compression!

"Come on, no matter how many times, the Han family will also stand in front of you and crush you! You can't get past the Han family's military formation! ”

……

Congennes saw Zou Ran's actions in a daze, and his always plain expression had already sunk at this time.

No matter how many times, no matter how fragile the Han army looks, no matter how weak these Han people look, but the Red Coats warriors under his command who once swept the West just can't tear through their defense line made of flesh and blood! Could it be that the Han family was really able to stop the Roman soldiers?

Congenez's face was gloomy as if he could drip water, and half of the original 3,000 Roman warriors under his command were now lost. Even more than half of his own pro-army were killed or wounded, and less than 2,000 of them could still go into battle in armor! The two-hour rush was repeated more than ten times, and each time it was extremely fierce, even the most resistant soldiers had already shown extreme fatigue, and many people retreated. I didn't understand the heavy armor, and I spread my hands and feet on my back to the sky, lying down panting heavily.

There was even a scene where the Roman warriors also fainted and couldn't wake up no matter how much they pushed.

The impact that had just been repulsed had already appeared in a situation where the horn was blown again, and the armored warriors were still hesitant and unwilling to step forward. This battle, which was ten times more fierce than usual, made it impossible for the Roman warriors to fight any longer. They would also subconsciously think that these tired Han troops were just second-rate armies of the Han Kingdom, and that their most elite flying cavalry guards were said to have not collapsed either......

Every Roman warrior who retreated refused to put on their armor again this time, and they all sat there gasping for breath, staring at the Han people opposite them with wolf-like eyes. In front of the thin but seemingly indestructible array, the Han commander strode forward, raised his sword, and gave them a loud mockery

Congnes was not afraid of casualties, nor of the tenacity of his opponents. Influenced by Han culture. He even hoped that the more tenacious the enemy, the better, because Caesar gradually became supreme and powerful in the face of the stubborn enemy. But the cowering and hesitant look of the Roman warrior under his command in front of him was extremely unbearable for him.

As the heir of the Roman Empire, he wanted to surpass the glory of his predecessors during his reign, except for defeating the great Han in front of him. There is no other option. And to defeat the Great Han, brave and fearless soldiers are his most solid support.

Sharp and fierce. Fearless. It is an indispensable trait for a strong army!

This trait could not be lost in the first eastward march and the first confrontation between the Han Chinese.

Seeing Shen Yun walk forward, Congennes snorted angrily, turned around and headed towards Abbas, and the guards behind him also clapped their horses to follow.

Abbas was behind, already agitated. Han Biao's advance was also fruitless, but he drove the flying cavalry guards into the woods. As soon as they retreated, the flying cavalry guards stubbornly rushed out again, protecting the left and right flanks of the Han army's formation.

"Your Highness?" Abbas looked at Congennes and asked curiously.

Congennes looked at the sky. sighed and said, "I'm afraid this is the last one today." Success or failure is the end of today. Prince Yue, come with me! Follow me, say whatever you say, you have to defeat these Han troops in front of you, otherwise the outcome this time will not be good. ”

"What? You're going to have to go into battle yourself! Slivenson on the side exclaimed, "No, your Highness, you are the crown prince, in case...... Your Highness, rest assured, this group of Han troops has already pulled the longest bandage, and it will definitely not last long! Just let me lead the troops forward......"

"Say no more!" Congnes turned his horse's head, shook his scarlet cloak, raised his banner, looked at Abbas and said, "I, as the crown prince of the Roman Empire, invite you to attack with me!" ”

After that, he ignored Abbas, who looked stunned, raised his hand and waved, and the soldiers behind him whined and blew the horn. The double-headed eagle banner began to slowly move forward.

To the left of the hills, the Roman warriors who were on horseback waiting for the order looked back. Everyone cheered up to the last of their spirits, and some of the armor soldiers who were paralyzed on the ground also jumped up.

His Highness Congnes and His Highness Abbas are going to charge into battle in person, and they will lead them to defeat these unimaginably tenacious Han people in front of them before it gets dark! Regardless of the final outcome of this war, they have already paid too much.

Congnes slowly dismounted at the sound of the horn, stretched out his hands and asked the guards behind him to put another layer of heavy armor on him. His gaze always met the figure standing in front of the Han army array, and Shen Yun's tall figure was there.

And Shen Yun also held the war knife tightly, and his eyes did not leave his double-headed eagle banner!

In Congenes' gaze, Shen Yun also turned around and looked back at his own array, not knowing what to say, which caused a burst of laughter in the broken Han army formation. The Roman warriors were ready to launch a final decisive swoop, and he could still hold the heart of the army and stand at the forefront to meet their challenge without fear?

This man is a true commander!

Congnes did not want to be helped by the guards, and personally closed his helmet and slowly pulled down his armor.

No one could stand in front of the Roman warriors, including this great Han Bohai Marquis! During his lifetime, all the lands were surrendered to the feet of the Roman warriors!

Congenes reached out and took the two-handed heavy sword handed over by his own soldier, and walked slowly down the hill.

At this time, Slivenson was even more panicked - oh my God, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Holy Roman Empire was going to participate in the foot battle in person!?

The trumpet has been sounded. Roman warriors have already formed a column for the last time today. Not daring to think about it any more, Svenson immediately called out to the light riders to gather around him, following at Congnes's side, as if the sun in the sky had almost lost its last trace of heat.

And Han Biao also sorted out the Yue's cavalry and all the foot soldiers and followed Abbas's side.

drum noise. Congnes raised his two-handed heavy sword and glanced back coldly: "Your Highness Abbas, your mission is not to charge from the front, go to the flank, and stop their flying guards!" Then try to cut off the back road of the Han army, after this battle, I don't want to see the Han army fleeing! ”

Abbas froze, his eyes under the half-armor showing a hint of hesitation, but finally he slapped his horse's head and went to the flankβ€”this Congennes had already overstepped his authority. But what's there? Anyway, this battle was originally commanded by the Romans, but it was just a different person, and this person's identity is still so noble!

Of course, Congnes also gave Abbas a formidable task - to fend off the Flying Guards! The most elite flying cavalry in the Nine Guards of the Great Han Feather Forest!

Congnes' personal presence gave the Romans an incomparable burst of courage. The shouts were hot. Congnes did not stop and moved first. led the already lined up armor soldiers to approach Shen Yun again. He launched the final assault in the first encounter between the Han and Roman armies!

β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»

The fierce collision between the two armies has happened again as it has happened countless times today! There was also a blood mist in the sky!

The sun had already set in the west, and the figures of the two armies dragged out a long figure on the shores of the Caspian Sea.

And in the dusk sunset, the bloody colors that spread all over the battlefield were also extremely dazzling.

The remnants of the cavalry split the armor, the remnants of the sun are like blood, and they fight brutally......

In this last collision, both sides lost the strength to shout and curse. Silently fighting each other. With the last bit of strength squeezed out of the chest, they are entangled with each other. As long as he was injured and fell, he no longer had the strength to drag him to the back of the battle. Only still in the chaotic fierce battle vortex, waiting to be trampled into flesh by countless pairs of iron combat boots. Once the wounded and fallen, they do not want to survive. Feel the blade on the ground and stick it into the opponent's leg, even if you hold an enemy, you will drag him down and let everyone die on this battlefield.

The cavalry that met the two flanks again was like armoured foot soldiers. There was just a silent scuffle. Everyone hedged and couldn't move, and they fought hand-to-hand battles when they got up. Only the long neighing of the tired war horses could be heard, and the scenes of both sides scuffling each other and rolling off their horses in a silent fierce fight to the death abounded.

Sometimes the master fell off his horse, and the war horse stood there. After shaking twice, he fell to the ground with exhaustion. Regardless of the fact that the men and horses had exhausted everything in this fierce battle that lasted all day.

The silent battlefield was enchanted. attracted the Han and Roman sides on the battlefield, and swept all the elite warriors into it. Every moment is devouring more lives.

When he was about to fight, Shen Yun was still squeezed to the back. No matter how he shouted and scolded, Zhong Lisi and Pang Tong still stubbornly blocked him at the last moment.

Shen Yun felt that a frenzied whirlpool had formed around him, and the Han soldiers around him used the little strength of his body to overtake him, and never let their commander stand at the front to meet the last attack of the Romans!

Everyone tried their best to protect Shen Yun behind them, and Shen Yun could only look out from the helmet with red tassels fluttering, and saw the Romans rushing in front of him like an unstoppable tsunami.

Supported by several large shields, Conganes strode towards the Han army array with his two-handed heavy sword. Beside Congenes were the most elite Roman guards, each wearing two layers of heavy armor, even the shin armor was wrapped in two layers. The Great Han Shangzhu and the Roman Shang Black, so their armor is all black, and at this time, it seems that the Black Floating Massacres are rushing towards the Han army array.

The soldiers of the Han army, who were already extremely tired, were beaten back by this new force. Shen Yun shouted hoarsely in the back to stabilize, his body moved, but he wanted to personally lead the troops to pounce. On the other end, Fang Cheng was already roaring, waving away the war knife that had already been notched, and greeted the last elite of the Chinese army.

Countless heavy swords were opening the way for Congnes, and the Roman warriors were also like Han soldiers who sacrificed their lives to rush in front of Congnes, and before their commander ventured into danger, they would open a gap in the Han army's array, and even defeat them!

Whether it is Congenes or Shen Yun, at this moment, they are both characters who have won the hearts of the military and can serve their subordinates. They were really in the battle formation, making this field battle the most tragic at the last moment!

Rows of Roman warriors and Han warriors fell under the hard impact of each other. Warband Center. As if it was thrown into the fire, no matter how many people joined the battle group, it quickly melted away. Countless blades swung in all directions, countless blade crashes and low shouts and curses mingled, and they were torn apart by the dying warrior's dying screams.

The people in this warband have lost the ability to think normally, and only one thought is to cut down and knock down their opponents in any way.

The Han army was too tired, they were only a second-class legion before, and there were too few experiences of such a tragic battle. After the incredible combat experience of the past six months, they are indeed the elite of the big men, but they have already exerted their combat ability beyond their limits.

But in this field battle, when the Romans put the last bit of vitality into it, the Han army array finally loosened.

For no other reason, in this era, the environment in the West has always been more difficult than in East Asia. The Roman legions, tempered from such harsh and bitter cold conditions, swept away all the resistance forces in the West, and they were one of the most elite fighting groups of the era. While the Han Dynasty dominated the world with cavalry and subdued the heroes, the Roman legions were alone in the west with infantry clusters. Before the appearance of the Great Han's rhino guards, the field combat ability of their infantry clusters was the strongest in this continent, and there was no one.

The Redcoat Legion of Congenes was the strongest presence of the Roman Empire in Asia. After the Battle of the Caspian Sea, in order to reorganize this legion, the Roman emperor dismantled and distributed the Roman heavy cavalry regiment here, and even transferred one-third of the troops from the citizen legion, which was successively replenished. This became the norm, and every subsequent Redcoat Legion was supplemented by the Templar Legion and the Citizen Legion. It is the elite of the elite, the courage of the brave.

What's more, the Red Coats Legion has been fighting continuously for 500 years, and its actual combat experience is really rich and colorful, and it is not far behind the flying cavalry guards who have been fighting against the Huns in northern Xinjiang all year round, and their experience is much more than that of Zou Ran's Han army.

The Han army under Shen Yun is only a temporary requisitioned second-class legion, although there was a big battle at Chagan Lake, but when it comes to battlefield fighting, it may not be able to fight the red-clothed army. But they were able to fight in the field with the Roman Red Legion and hold on to it until now, and inflicted great casualties on this Roman legion, killing thousands of them in battle, and more than half of them were wounded. Both sides almost gambled on their last breath.

The Han army has given the greatest shock from Congenes. At this point. They fought for everything, and they only wanted to win this encounter! At this moment, the soldiers of the Roman Red Legion no longer dared to think that they would be able to sweep through the east smoothly and even capture several states of the Great Han Dynasty! They just want to preserve the Redcoats' undefeated reputation! (To be continued......)
