"Alright." Gao Yang moved his wrist and looked at the Greeks who were scattered and fleeing in the distance, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a faint mocking smile. Turning to look at the large number of Han generals behind him, he said with a smile, "The warm-up is over, now it's time for us to appear!" ”

Most of the sergeants who followed Gao Yang to join the Western Expedition were from good families, and they were the backbone of the Han Empire.

Although most of these sergeants were widows, they could not inherit the family business and property. But after all, they are well-born, well-educated, and have not been treated badly in terms of food and use. In terms of the genes of the Chinese people in this era, as long as the nutrition can keep up, coupled with the right exercise, almost all of these sergeants are more than seven feet. Not to mention the physique, coupled with a distinctive armor, it immediately shows its might.

When such an army of elite sergeants appeared in a dense and rigorous formation from afar, the Romans immediately knew that this was a formidable opponent.

Look at the Greeks who have lost their martial spirit because of their long exploitation, and spend their days running around to feed themselves. Looking at their generally short and thin figures, frightened looks, and sloppy images without trimming. The generals of the Han army standing in front of the military formation all pouted their lips in disdain.

The turtle is the turtle, how can it be compared with the Celestial Empire? It's no wonder that those Greek women went crazy to pursue the Han army sergeants, and the gap between the two sides was too big.

During the days when Gao Yang's army was resting in Greece, I don't know how many local women there were. Including the daughters and wives and concubines of the nobles of the land kings, they all frantically pursued the Han army, composing scenes of joys and sorrows of love stories.

"The whole team!" The Roman commanders at the front, seeing the main protagonist, quickly halted the advance of their army and began to regroup in preparation for the fiercest battle.

On the hill, Gao Yang turned to look at the generals behind him, who had lost more than half of them. He raised his eyebrows and asked, "What do you guys think?" ”

"My lord." The first to speak was still Jia Xu, the chief strategist under Gao Yang. The strategist, who was truly an old man, raised his hand and twisted the beard on his chin, his gaze swept over the vast battlefield in the distance. smiled and said, "Our army has an absolute advantage in morale, quantity, equipment and tactics. The terrain here is also not suitable for any conspiracy. Our army only needs to push through with strong strength. This battle will be won! ”

Jia Xu's words also represent the thoughts of most military generals. After the baptism of so many battles since the Western Expedition. And he had fought with these Romans before. The general strength of the two sides can still be understood. In the environment of this battlefield at this moment, steady and steady is indeed the best choice. Although the Romans on the opposite side were elite, they were far fewer in number than the Han army.

"What Jia Changshi said is extremely true, but there are still some ideas I want to discuss with you." Gao Yang was noncommittal about Jia Xu's battle plan, and quietly waited for these generals to complete the procedure. Sure enough, after a while, Guo Jia stepped forward and spoke out with a smile.

"Say it." Gao Yang smiled. He took out his cigarette and lit it, and took a hard puff. I don't care at all about the cooperation between you at the beginning and the end of these generals. As the main strategist, Jia Xu and Guo Jia did not pass the important battle plan before? What does Guo Jia want to say, Jia Xu doesn't know? This was nothing more than the habitual tactics of the scribes.

Jia Xu put forward a general strategy, and Guo Jia perfected the specific detailed plan. can speak in front of Gao Yang, and he will not attract envy because one person has stolen all the limelight. Gao Yang doesn't care about these small means at all.

"My lord." Guo Jia first saluted respectfully, then coughed and opened the fan in his hand. Gao Yang's eyes twitched as he watched from the sidelines. This fan followed him thousands of miles away, but it hasn't been broken yet?

After the young Guo Jia showed his celebrity and demeanor, he smiled and said, "Our army will win this battle!" After setting the next tone, he continued, "Still." Our enemies are more than just those in front of us. If our army loses too much of the enemy army in front of it, it will inevitably affect the follow-up operations in the future. That's the most important thing right now. ”

Gao Yang spit out the smoke ring and pursed the corners of his mouth. Unusually cooperative, he asked, "Then what do you have to do?" ”

"The Lord is a wise man." After Guo Jia saluted again, he raised his chin slightly to look at the glorious and vast battlefield in the distance, and said with a smile: "My subordinates have been figuring out the combat methods of those Great Qin people for a long time, and they have found an interesting place. After a pause, he looked around at his colleagues, smiled a little smugly, and then said, "The main means by which they can threaten our sergeants, those spear throwers are flawed!" ”

Seeing that everyone was focusing on themselves, the corners of the young Guo Jia's mouth unconsciously showed a smile. With a proud face, he said, "Although the spears of those Great Qin people are extremely powerful. But it takes a lot of effort. And, most importantly. Once you throw the spear, you can't get it back! I went to inquire about the captives of the Great Qin people, when they went to war. Those elites who carry throwing spears usually only carry seven or eight throwing spears. If our army wants to avoid casualties, it is best to drive the subordinates of those earth kings to attack the army formation of the Great Qin people and consume their spears! At the same time, it can also disrupt the formation of the Great Qin people. ”

This is the ultimate means that Guo Jia himself came up with to deal with the Great Qin people, and he himself is very proud of it. When in Greece, most people were busy enjoying themselves and having fun with women of different races. However, Guo Jia, who has always regarded himself as a merry and famous person, rarely locked himself in the house, and carefully figured out the weaknesses of the Great Qin people, and finally made him discover this flaw that is not fatal on weekdays. And he performed well in front of Gao Yang.

"Not bad." Gao Yang nodded with a chuckle on his face and said, "You are attentive." ”

Once the tone was set, the next step was to fight according to the plan.

In fact, a war of this magnitude is definitely not something that can be ended in a short period of time. Unless it is a large-scale rout, it will inevitably be stalemate for a while. This time, however, the battle went quickly. The reason is simple, neither side has any intention of fighting a protracted war in this rugged mountainous terrain.

Gao Yang didn't want to waste time grinding in Macedonia, he just wanted to defeat the Roman garrison here, and then quickly march into the city of Rome.

Turus, on the other hand, was under tremendous logistical pressure. Macedonia is mountainous and difficult to get on the road. The Romans amassed a massive army of more than 100,000 here, and the only way to provide them with logistical supplies was to rely on a large fleet of ships at sea. However, when Sun Jian's fleet blockaded the Adriatic Sea, the Romans instantly fell into a dilemma.

Not to mention the local reserves. Macedonia is a mountainous region, so it was not a food producing area in the first place, and in the past, it needed the Italian mainland across the sea to provide food support. Now there are so many mouths to eat, and they are the mouths of soldiers who consume a lot. The reserves here are simply not enough. As for the northern provinces, they are all Germanic Black Forest! It's hard for people to get out of there, and they want to transport food on a large scale? Just kidding.

Therefore, Turus had no choice at the moment. With the sea route blocked, Turus did not want to retreat from northern Italy with a large army. He had no choice but to defeat the enemy as soon as possible and then move south to the rich Greek provinces.

For defeating the alien army, Turus was very confident.

According to the news from Rome, the main force of the alien army was still fighting fiercely with the Nigel army in the distant province of Egypt. The presence in the province of Macedonia was only a flank force, and there were not many of them. They just looked like a lot with a large number of Greek traitors.

Turus was confident in the combat effectiveness of his legions. Most of his commands were regular Roman legions, and there were three Eagle Legions among them! The mighty Roman legions swept through the world for hundreds of years, and were invincible. Turus believed he had won.

While the two huge armies were testing each other, a large group of Greek vassals rushed at the Romans trembling under the strong pressure of their respective kings. They were cannon fodder, cannon fodder used to drain Roman strength and javelins.

Guo Jia told all the kings of the Greek city-states that whoever dared to disobey the order at this time would be disqualified as king after returning! In this situation, when it comes to putting hats on their heads, the kings can only push all the militia under their command into battle with red eyes.

Not surprisingly, the large number of cannon fodder was like a raging tide hitting a solid dam, and the foam burst and disappeared. No one could expect these untrained and demoralized cannon fodder to defeat the Romans.

The first batch of thousands of Greek militia of more than a dozen city-states had no formation at all, and rushed towards the tortoiseshell formation of the Romans in an unusually scattered manner. Then they retreated in a panic after being knocked down by hundreds of people shot by a dense barrage of javelins.

This is a normal thing. Puppet army, it's a matter of course to run away after being shot. However, the Han army did not do it. You guys ran away like this, what else are you calling cannon fodder? How can the booked consumption plan be completed? Having fun?

Trained classical militarist armies were brutal killing machines, and they always followed the orders of their commanders on the battlefield.

When the Greeks looked terrified, screamed and fled backwards. As Dian Wei, whose face was hideous, suddenly waved the iron halberd in his hand forward, he shouted angrily, "Release the arrow!" Behind him, the thousands of Han soldiers who served as the overseers immediately pulled the trigger of the chain crossbow in their hands! (To be continued)
