Under the ancient city of Naya, on the small narrow wheat fields belonging to the townspeople, the army of more than 10,000 people lined up in a messy manner. The little crops that the Naya had managed to cultivate by the sea were trampled in a bad way, and they were still shouting and screaming with axes, sickles, and tattered kite shields.

What is even more eye-catching is that in front of the entire army, more than 200 men and horses are all covered in heavy chain armor, riding tall Don hippos, holding heavy cavalry spears more than three meters long, and even the face is 'covered' by iron helmets.

Looking at this army through a telescope, Chen Zhangming's face under the helmet of the Fujian State is really cold to the extreme, these people should belong to a Lombard people under the Germanic people, three hundred years ago the Hun Emperor, driven by the whip of God Attila migrated from Eastern Europe to Southern Europe, and it was also the culprit of the recent attack on Italy, the Pope cried and shouted to Byzantium and Fujian for help.

Nowadays, northern Italy in the Alps was almost all occupied by these Lombards, and the Fujian expeditionary force drifted to the heat. Naya was the rear of the Lombard Kingdom, and if they went to Rome from here, the expeditionary force would have to travel by land and sea to reach it.

The problem is that the other day the interrogation of the rumbard sealed in the heat. Count Frederick of Naya received information from him that the main forces of the Lombard Kingdom were following his king to attack the center of the Byzantine Empire's rule in northern Italy, and the Viceroyalty of Ravenna had gone, and the whole of Western Italy was empty.

Otherwise, Chen Zhangming would not have taken such a little person to be leisurely and leisurely. Naya stayed, it's okay now, let people block the 'door'.

"Damn Scarlet, he dared to deceive us, I'm going to kill him!"

There are tens of thousands of people, there are no edges, the telescope has been looking at these barbarian soldiers in tattered clothes for a long time, with a mouthful of big yellow teeth, and screaming, and the former military captain Chen You shouted in annoyance that he was going to find a certain earl who was struggling in the sewers. But before he could walk out, Chen Zhangming grabbed him by the collar and dragged him back.

"Now is not the time to settle accounts, first deal with the gang of barbarians in front of you."

"Why don't we retreat to the sea?" On the other end, Yang Xiong, the deputy head manager, couldn't help frowning and turned his head, and suggested.

It's not that Yang Xiong is cowardly, the role of their expeditionary force is to settle in Rome first. [The site page is refreshing, there are few ads,,I like this kind of website the most.,Be sure to praise] to lay the foundation for the follow-up army, rather than blindly fighting hard. After all, they are guest troops from afar, and if they die, they will lose one, and they will fight for nothing, but they can't talk about the grand strategy of King Min.

And at this time, the expeditionary force was indeed not suitable for fighting hard with the Lombards, for several days in a row, either cleaning or repairing ships, the fatigue of the long way has not been relieved, and the expeditionary force on the shore is only about 3,000, and the number is also at a disadvantage.

I thought about it for a moment. Chen Zhangming shook his head, and said with a proud face: "You can't withdraw, you must fight!"

"This is the first battle of my expeditionary force to the land of Rome, if I evade it like this, in the future, the expeditionary force will be timid no matter what, and there will be no grand cause for His Majesty the King of Fujian, and you and I are all sinners of Fujian."

looked at Yang Xiong's 'desire' and stopped. Chen Zhangming's honest face was full of smiles again, and he shook his head with a wry smile.

"Don't worry, Deputy Envoy Yang, although Ben Jiang is reckless, he is not a person who does not know the importance of the matter, Ben will only need a thousand people. If they want to attack the city, let's retreat to the sea overnight and go straight to Rome, how about it? ”

Chen Zhangming is the main general, he has explained everything, and Yang Xiong can't say anything. I had to nod.

The coach reached a unanimous agreement, and then the whole heat. Naya also quickly mobilized.

The narrow Roman ancient city 'door' was opened, rumbling horses' hooves, the first to gallop out was the Fujian cavalry, this time the expeditionary force brought a total of more than 1,000 Arab horses, but unfortunately died of disease and thirst along the way, there were more than 200 horses left, to the shore, the expeditionary force "sex" put only the remaining more than 200 horses on the shore to shepherd, this kung fu was taken out by Chen Zhangming in one breath.

Although it is a mercenary, it is also a "fine" selected warrior among the nomadic peoples of Central Asia and Turkic, and the equipment is of the same standard as the Guanning iron cavalry, and the cavalry armor of the Xuan 'color' is matched with the fierce nomads, although the cavalry of the expeditionary force with skilled equestrian skills is few, it is a momentum when it appears.

Seeing that the cavalry of the Fujian army was aggressively 'forced' people to set up a position on the small hillside, the barbarian army of Lumbar, who had just been screaming wildly, was actually stunned, and many people actually shrank back.

After a while, the sound of neat footsteps came from the city 'gate' again, holding a tiger's head and a round shield, carrying a 'fine' long lance, the Yifu expeditionary force rushed out of the city 'gate' like a flowing cloud, the cavalry separated to the two wings, according to the infantry 'drill' code, a few breaths, a breathtaking hedgehog array was laid out.

In the end, two hundred steel crossbowmen quickly rushed out of the gap in the military formation, stacked into two rows, one row kneeling on the ground on one knee, and the other row standing sideways, two hundred sharp Tang-like steel crossbows staring at the barbarians below.

The last one to come out was the main general, sitting on the divine horse Dawan given by the King of Fujian, Chen Zhangming arrogantly paced slowly to the front of the formation, and there was a special person behind him, Eugene I wearing a gorgeous pope robe.

The key to heaven and the triple crown formed the papal banner, and as soon as this formation came out, the Lombards below panicked a little, and various noisy shouts came, and occasionally the pronunciation of the word Roman could be heard.

It is no wonder that the 'fine' cavalry and the fast, neat and disciplined infantry have no second branch in the whole West, except for the great empire that treats the Mediterranean Sea as an inland lake. The next Spanish phalanx and the 'elite' French infantry will have to wait more than a thousand years.

There was no one in the expeditionary force who knew Germanic language, even Pope Eugene was Italian, and he could only speak Latin and Roman, plus the harvest of this trip was Tang, although China was a state of etiquette, Chen Zhangming had to let his subordinates use Tang and Latin before the war.

No, the two subordinates stepped forward and scolded, but once again silenced the Lombards.

Latin is not spoken, it has always been the official language of Christianity, the Bible, all kinds of gospels are in Latin, watching the pope come in person, so that the barbarians who converted to Christianity are terrified, Tang language, for these barbarians who came out of the Germanic jungle is as mysterious as a magic spell, and the heart is chilled when I listen to it.

After condemning this group of barbarians for actually attacking the Pope, the two scolding soldiers retreated, but for a long time, stepping on the heat. The more than 10,000 barbarian soldiers in the Naya field were silent, and none of them came to fight.

The sun is gradually rising, although the sun in the Mediterranean is not as vicious as the Middle East, but the warm sun is also drowsy, more than 2,000 on one side of the city and under the city, and more than 10,000 on the other side, just staring at each other across the small hillside.

The sergeant holding the steel crossbow was kneeling sore, and the sergeant carrying the shield also shook his hand, riding on the horse, Chen Zhangming simply yawned, and glanced down speechlessly.

It's been an hour, can you fight or not?

Fortunately, at this time, a group of Rumba soldiers on horseback below were probably annoyed, and a guy who looked like a crab rode a tall horse and rushed up with a big axe, ran for about thirty meters, and stood at the bottom of the mountain and screamed.

This time, he understood a little bit in front of the pope, turned his head and explained in Chen Zhangming's ear: "This person said that he is a Baron of Palermo, and he wants to challenge the general."

"Heads-up?"

With an army of more than 10,000 people not fighting, Chen Zhangming was also a little surprised, but at worst, this is better than the dead pig's 'meat', and he yawned again, Chen Zhangming simply tilted his head to Chen You, a former military cadet on the side.

It's really boring and 'hairy', Chen You is like a shot in the arm, bowed and screamed in the envy of others, and rode his horse forward.

"Zhangzhou Chen You is here, eat your grandfather and me!"

I don't know what to mutter, the crab is also screaming and galloping over on a horse, and the Nordic two-handed axe is held high, and it comes with its head.

Bang~

Nearly a hundred meters away, Chen Zhangming heard the clear sound of weapons colliding, and couldn't help but be speechless, this guy is so strong.

Chen You, who was really engaged in the battle, trembled with his hands, and finally didn't throw the horse lance out, but fortunately, the horse lance in his hand was well made, and he relied on trembling to offset this strange force, and when he came back, looking at the arrogant and proud crab opposite, Chen You secretly thought to himself.

Taking a breath, the two riders rushed to the second round, this time, Chen You, who was invincible in strength, was even worse, narrowly avoided the axe, and the armor on his shoulders was cut off, and he simply dragged the horse lance and fled directly to the position, and the crab who succeeded in one blow was even more arrogant and laughed and pulled his horse to catch up.

Eight horses' hooves galloped fiercely on the ground, and in a few seconds, the crab came up with a big axe and slashed at the back, seeing that Chen You was about to be taken down, but unexpectedly, the corner of Chen You's mouth listening to the wind was 'revealed' with a sneer.

In Herod's horse roar, the galloping Arabian horse actually stopped suddenly, and the horse's body hit the whole horse blocking the crab, and the most "fine" move of the whole horse gun was sent out by Chen You, taking advantage of the crab's old moves, the two were almost face to face, and the tip of the horse lance was stabbed to the crab's 'chest' by Chen You's cruel smile.

It's a very strange phenomenon, the languages of various ethnic groups are strange, but the voice of calling mom is almost the same, rolling your eyes, a mom! The crab simply let go of the axe and fell straight backwards, falling into the dust with a whirl, but the blow was dodged by him.

Gloomily spat and was about to turn around with Ma Chenyou turned out to be this guy, who knew that the crab who was still fierce just now actually knelt on the ground, raised the index finger and middle finger of his right hand, and cried with a sad face.

"Little general, don't kill, he said that he is willing to accept the general's prisoners and pay the general a ransom!"

Behind him, Pope Eugene's voice hurriedly came...... -59091dmth19205425->
