Although they have been at peace with Rome for hundreds of years, the Germanic people still seem to adhere to their simple and stubborn civilization traditions, and the attacking more than 70,000 Lombard warriors except for a few noble elite soldiers wearing iron armor made by the Romans and wearing blue iron helmets like iron towers, the vast majority of Germanic people have messy hair draped over their shoulders, a beard on their faces and braided into small braids, black coarse cloth clothes, messy formations, or carrying battle axes or javelin spears, In this way, no reserves were reserved, and the 70,000 people were like a swarm of bees, and the momentum was amazing.

In fact, although there is no battle array, the Germanic people's bravery and good fighting even to the level of bloodthirsty and perverted still has a strong and incomparably aggressive, when it comes to ancient Rome, people often think of the Punic War, the Romans and the Carthaginians fought for hegemony for a hundred years, the Punic War almost destroyed half of the population of Rome, but they did not know that in the initial confrontation with the Germans, the well-equipped and disciplined Roman legions also suffered a big loss in the hands of the seemingly chaotic Germans.

The Battle of Noria, the Battle of Araucio, the first 40,000, the second 120,000, the Germanic Cimbri, the Teutonic Ambuon, annihilated the nineteen Roman legions, wiped out half of the Senate plus the knightly class, the Germanic people were still in a primitive society at that time, and did not want slaves, the Roman prisoners of war captured in the two wars were all slaughtered on the spot, blood and internal organs were sacrificed to the martial god Bhutan, human heads were cut off and hung on trees, and there were Roman stumps and severed arms and heads everywhere within a radius of many miles, It's like a ghost.

It was also this war that forced the Roman Republic to carry out the famous Marian military reform, which deeply and thoroughly transformed all strata of Rome, which led to the Roman Empire, which occupied half of Europe and reached Britain, so that the Roman Empire still failed to conquer Germania, and the Battle of the Teutonic Forest stopped the Roman army on the Rhine.

Although five or six hundred years have passed since that era, and the ferocity of the Lombards has weakened compared to their ancestors after entering the civilized society, their chaotic attack power is still the same as it was back then, and the more advanced iron and steel weapons offset this part of the combat damage.

In particular, Clive, the king of Lombard, led the six dukes of the main force of the kingdom, and more than 20,000 elite soldiers went straight to the flag of the Fujian expeditionary force to kill, and at the bottom of the hillside, for the first time, those naturalized Germans who were in front of the whole army, and the urban citizen army recruited by Northern Italy immediately fell into a bitter battle, and was invaded and chopped up by the Lumba army as black as mercury, and was divided into countless small pieces, with heavy casualties.

After holding out for less than five minutes, more than 8,000 Germanic and Roman soldiers recruited from all over the country had already begun to rout, a small number of people retreated along both sides of the line crying and shouting, and the large group kept retreating, as if falling into the oil pot and melting butter, and the two masses were also getting smaller and smaller.

Unexpectedly, these cannon fodder miscellaneous soldiers were unreliable, the expeditionary force had already left enough distance and space in front of the two armies, and Chen Zhangming did not expect to collapse so quickly, in the face of the swarming defeated soldiers of the alien race, Chen Zhangming simply ordered the crossbow team to release arrows, and those who dared to impact the expeditionary army's military formation were all shot on the spot, and more than 100 people were killed, which made the frightened rout retreat from both wings.

The two-sided killing dispelled the last bit of war spirit of more than 8,000 miscellaneous fish, and also brought some unexpected effects, and more than 100 nobles such as "crabs" who had taken refuge in the Fujian army in ****** City actually knelt directly on the ground and surrendered with their weapons, crying and shouting how many gold coins and pepper they could exchange for.

Following the Fujian Expeditionary Force, as the basis of the ruling of the local nobles, these guys have more or less made a fortune, have money in their pockets, and have fiefs that can be used as prestige, and the Lumba land does not have as deep spiritual roots as Huaxia, sacrificing their lives for righteousness, of course, they are not willing to die.

However, the surrender of the crab and others had some unexpected effect, as soon as they heard the bounty of redemption, thousands of poor and frightened Rumba elites actually grabbed it, and more than a dozen dukes and marquis were also blushing, and the original offensive of the Lumba army immediately paused, and it took more than ten minutes to divide these prisoners before the camp under the constraints of the king of Rumba.

With this effort, the cannon fodder army, which had collapsed enough, successfully retreated to the rear along the passage left by the two wings of the Fujian Expeditionary Army.

Attacking again, the Lombards obviously lost their sharpness just now, the nobles held more than a hundred meat tickets, shrunk back, and the elite barbarians who did not get the benefits were snorting angrily and dragging their two-handed axes to squeeze forward desperately, and the entire attacking team immediately fell apart.

And they were greeted by an incredibly sharp attack.

Halfway up the hill, the steel crossbow that the Min army had been waiting for a long time and put on the shield in the front row immediately pulled the crossbow machine against the rushing Lumbarians.

The distance is only thirty or forty meters, and the strong steel crossbow is still used, and the Min army is still ready to attack for a long time, and the Lombards who rushed to the front are as if they were swept by a violent wind, and you can clearly see that hundreds of Lombards who roared forward were knocked down by the crossbow arrows and flew back, and some crossbow arrows at close range even shot through two or three people.

Not only crossbow arrows, but also set up a good crossbow car, which can be pushed and walked briskly after modification, more than 20 crossbows that have not appeared in bed for a long time have been shot out, and five fan-like two-meter-long stepping arrows have come to clear the field, each piece is to clear a fan-shaped blood path.

Europe is not without crossbows, the Roman Empire had ballistae very early, but no one knows why Europe did not develop crossbows, the Western crossbow was not learned from the Arabs until the Crusader period, and was banned by the church, not to mention the Lombards who had not seen much of the world in this era.

Three rounds of crossbow arrows were fired in succession, and all two thousand crossbowmen fired one arrow, and the front line of the confrontation with the expeditionary force had become a hellish state, with corpses lying on the ground, and the momentum of the Lombard charge behind was even completely contained, and some people shouted in horror in Lombard.

"Roman crossbow!"

After Marius's military reform, the Roman army once conquered Germania, and Caesar's army once used this weapon to impress the Germanic tribes so deeply that it was passed down from generation to generation, and the fear passed down from the ancestors immediately made some barbarian warriors like a basin of cold water poured from their heads, and they had no will to fight.

But I don't care what the enemy's mood is, although the Fujian army composed of Turkic, Tianzhu, and Persian ethnic groups has played the most standard battle formation of the Tang people at this time, the bow and crossbow frustrate the enemy's sharp edge, and the Mo knife forward, the whole army with fearless courage with the same violent impact of the sharp arrow formation, the spearmen in front of the platoon put down their lances, and shouted to rush to the front with the terrifying guy holding more than three meters in their hearts, and then the sword players, the jumping soldiers, the shouts of the whole army covered the roar of the Lombards for a while, The sharp lance blade bloomed into a brilliant blood-colored flower on the chests of countless barbarian warriors.

The 6,000 expeditionary forces made a concerted effort, and the more than 20,000 Lombard pioneers were directly pressed back by more than 100 meters that had been rushed out of the hillside with great difficulty.

The original flat Fujian army was poked a big hole in the center by the Lombards, but the bitter fruit was borne by themselves, the assault in the middle was contained, the Franks on the left and the Visigoths on the right were powerful at the same time, like a big pocket to outflank the Lombards on three sides.

"God forbid!"

Shocked by the fighting power of the Min people, shouting wildly, more than a thousand Visigoths knights roared with guns under their armpits, leading the Visigothic heavy infantry equipped with two-handed heavy swords to rush forward, the Franks were even more terrifying, the distance was less than ten meters, four thousand axe throwers threw small battle axes together, the sharp sound of the battle axes cutting through the air, and even created a clearing effect similar to the Fujian army's strong crossbows, countless Lombards fell to the ground with axes, and immediately carried the second axe, and the Franks rushed over more violently.

It is impossible for the Lombards to fight and die all of them, except for the army of more than 20,000 nobles in the vanguard, the rest are mostly soy sauce and pick up the cheap, the cheap is not picked up, but the life is about to be lost, so ferociously dispatched, the Lombards are like layers of peeled onions, collapse non-stop.

At this time, the Fujian expeditionary force on the mountain also launched the last wave of deadly attacks, arching their fists to each other, Yang Xiong took over the command of the infantry, and Chen Zhangming led more than ten personal guards cavalry to rush down the mountain.

In the rear of the valley, the only remaining 900 cavalry of the Min army had cautiously moved towards the rear of the Lombards, and now they had reached the left rear of the enemy in Lunda.

After converging with Chen Zhangming, the fierce general, the handsome flag was hung high, and the elite riders from the Alans, Semins, and Persians also let out fierce and bloodthirsty cheers, buckled their armor, Chen Zhangming's long lance wrapped around the black dragon ribbon pointed forward violently, and the nine hundred cavalry charged towards the rear army of the Lombards like a cut head.

900 cavalry compared to 70,000 people, too few and too little, but this effort is enough to become the last straw that breaks the camel's back.

The war continued into the evening, and in the bloody slaughter of collapse and pursuit, the whole valley was strewn with corpses, and rivers of blood flowed like rivers, and slimy blood even overflowed the corpses, forming a small stream in the middle of the valley.

More than 10,000 Lombards were killed, and the rest were terrified and kneeling on the plain in front of the city of Pavia, trembling and hanging their heads, kneeling in front of everyone was King Clive, elected by all the nobles, almost crying, this strong man covered in blood held the scepter high above his head.

"Your warriors, half of the penalty is slavery, half of the land is dedicated to the Min country, and 10,000 gold is handed over! The Kingdom of Lombard was incorporated into the Kingdom of Fujian. ”

It had not been such an exciting time for a long time, and although the old country had perished, the fat Roman nobleman in charge of the preaching was still trembling with excitement, and he was looking forward to the fate of the Lombards with the ancient Roman contract......

Under such harsh conditions, the Lombards could only accept it, trembling and raising the scepter higher, and Clive could not say a word.

Full of arrogance, he stretched out his hand to take the eagle-headed scepter inlaid with gems from the Romans, Chen Zhangming immediately raised his arms like heaven, watching the gold exude blood-red light in the sunset, and the entire field of the huge Fujian expeditionary force suddenly let out a shocking cheer.

Flocks of crows were frightened from the pile of corpses in the valley and flew out of the sky......
