Chapter 1303: Lost
Thank you for waiting for a monthly pass rewarded by the speechless son!
Thanks to the old bird, it is a monthly ticket rewarded by my son-in-law!
Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but be surprised, and someone asked, "How did you know this news?" ”
The drinker said, "That's what the refugees from the east say!" And I have a relative who served in the garrison! According to him, almost seven regular legions were annihilated by the Wei army! One of them is the elite Spartan Legion! ”
"Spartan Legion?! How is this possible?! Someone shouted. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Immediately, someone said, "Not necessarily! You must know that the First Legion and the Iron Cavalry in the Wei Army are extremely fierce armies! ”
"Since the situation is so bad, why don't we flee?" Someone suggested.
Everyone couldn't help but be moved.
At this moment, an earth-shattering noise came from the east, and everyone in the tavern could not help but be startled, and they suddenly got up, ran out of the tavern, and looked east.
But it turned out that a stone bullet from the Shenwei cannon hit the city gate!
The Roman garrison, which was struggling to resist the onslaught of the Wei army, could no longer hold on, and threw away their armor and fled in embarrassment.
The leading generals tried to stop them, beheading a dozen deserters, but to no avail.
The general simply left the fleeing garrison and personally led the three thousand Spartan warriors who were in reserve to run towards the city gate.
The general led 3,000 Spartan warriors to the city gate, and at this time tens of thousands of Wei troops were surging in, and at the forefront were 2,000 light cavalry of the Eighth Army.
"For the honor of the Empire!!" The general shouted with his sword raised.
The three thousand Spartan warriors shouted violently, howling to meet the surging tide of the Wei army, and there was a tragic momentum of no return.
Two thousand light cavalry swept up in the dust and slammed into the Spartan warriors' shield and spear line like a storm crashing on the shore.
However, the next scene was beyond the expectations of the Wei soldiers, the impact momentum of the light cavalry was blocked by the shield and spear line of the Spartan warriors, and then the Spartan warrior line dispersed, and the three thousand Spartan warriors rushed into the middle of the Wei light cavalry with shields and spears.
When I boarded, I saw people turning over on their backs.
In less than a quarter of an hour, the two thousand light cavalry of the Eighth Army were crushed by the opposing side.
The bravery of the Spartan legions finally manifested itself at this time.
The remnants of the light cavalry retreated to the gates, but the Spartan warriors, who were excitedly charging towards the gates, suddenly stopped their advance.
It turned out that an awe-inspiring force appeared in their field of vision, a black cloak, a double-layered black iron heavy armor, and a terrifying Mo knife that was more than two meters long, that's right! The First Legion's Modao Army has appeared!
Nearly 3,000 Spartan warriors and 2,000 First Legion Modao troops faced off near the city gate, and the soldiers on both sides subconsciously avoided this place.
"Enter!" The commander of the Modao Army roared.
The Mo Dao Army shouted in unison, and slammed the Mo Dao in his hand, with a loud bang, and the momentum was amazing.
The Modao army marched into the mountains, and the momentum was almost able to push the mountains and reclaim the sea. The brave Spartan warriors could not help but exude solemnity and nervousness.
The two thousand Mo sword army is like a whole and does not rush forward, their eyes are as cold as ice, and their neat footsteps sound their own hearts.
"Array!" The general roared.
Nearly 3,000 Spartan warriors immediately formed the most famous Spartan army's fish scale circle, the round giant shields are tightly put together, looking like fish scales from a distance, the circle array will be tightly protected all around, and the Spartan warriors can attack the enemy outside the formation through the gap of the round shield.
This is definitely a perfect battle formation that integrates offense and defense. The Circle of Fish Scales has been around for hundreds of years, defeating countless enemies for Rome in all wars. Today's fish scale circle is more complete than it was at the beginning.
"Attack!" The commander of the Modao Army shouted.
The Mo Dao Army advanced to two meters of the Fish Scale Circle, and the Fish Scale Circle Array in front of them was like a huge turtle, making people unable to start.
The first row of Mo sword soldiers swung Mo knives together, and the snow light pierced the night sky, slashing at the opponent's giant iron shield, with a loud bang, and nearly a hundred Spartan warriors fell to the ground with a scream.
The Spartan soldiers were taken aback when they saw this, and it was the first time that the opponent had broken through the iron shield line.
"Attack!" The Roman general shouted urgently.
The outermost Spartan warrior immediately stabbed out with the spear in his hand, and the sound of ping-pong rang out, and the spear hit the heavy armor of the Modao Army, which could not hurt them at all, and the Spartan warriors couldn't help but be stunned.
The Mo Dao Army waved the Mo Knife in their hands together, and hundreds of spears were broken in unison, and then the Mo Dao Army shouted, raised the Mo Knife and pushed forward, the blood flashed, and hundreds of Spartan warriors were pierced through the chest.
The Mo Sword Army roared and picked up the hundreds of Spartan warriors, and the scene was really amazing.
The Modao Army group attacked, and although the Spartan army fought back desperately, it was still beaten backwards.
The Spartan army was at a disadvantage not because they were not as brave as the Wei army's Mo knife army, but mainly because of equipment and tactics, the Wei army's heavy armor could almost completely resist the attack of the Spartan army's spears, while their Mo knives could easily split the giant shield in the hands of the Spartan army in half.
Looking at the scene in front of him, the Roman general looked dazed and desperate.
It's no wonder that the strength and spiritual pillar that he relies on the most are so vulnerable, and anyone is afraid that they have such a look.
The Roman general came to his senses and decisively gave the order to retreat.
However, the Spartan army refused to carry out the order, and the leading general of the Spartan army said: "We are Spartan warriors, and we cannot retreat any more!" We choose to die on the battlefield! ”
The Roman general glanced at the Spartan soldiers who were struggling to resist the killing of the Modao army, and the faces of each of the Spartan soldiers were full of determination.
An indescribable feeling welled up in the Roman general's heart, and he solemnly gave them a military salute, and then led his own troops to retreat.
"Spartan warriors, defend your honor with blood!" The Spartan general shouted.
The remnants of the Spartan warriors let out a cry together, and actually launched a counterattack against the Mo Sword Army, and the sight was like a moth to a fire.
The soldiers of the Modao Army couldn't help but feel admiration, which was the feeling of heroes cherishing heroes. "Kill!" The commander of the Mo Dao Army roared, and two thousand Mo Dao troops greeted him.
The tragic battle lasted only two quarters of an hour, and all the Spartan warriors were killed, while the Wei army suffered less than a hundred casualties.
Even so, the fierceness and bravery of the Spartan warriors still won the respect of the soldiers of the Modao Army, and nearly 2,000 soldiers of the Modao Army solemnly saluted the corpses of the Spartan warriors on top of each other.
By this time, the battle for the rest of the fortress had come to an end. The battlefield suddenly fell silent, and clusters of flames were still crackling, and under the light of the fire, tens of thousands of corpses of Roman soldiers were stacked on top of each other.
Zhao Yun, accompanied by all the generals and his own soldiers, entered the still smoke-filled Kali Fortress, at this time a group of Wei soldiers were collecting some of the corpses of the Roman army, which were completely different from most Roman soldiers, wearing no armor, wearing a red cloak, and a round giant shield on the hand.
"Is this the Spartan warrior of the Romans?" Zhao Yun asked.
One of the generals next to him replied: "It's the Spartan warrior!" They are very brave and would rather die than retreat! "A look of emotion.
Zhao Yun nodded and ordered, "Good students to bury them!" They are all true warriors! ”
"Yes!"
Before the early hours of the morning, the news of the loss of the Grand Canyon reached the city of Kari, and the whole city was as if it had been hit by a magnitude 9 earthquake.
Many people fled with their families and families, and the army was also in fear.
"General, what should I do now?" One of the generals asked Khedira at a loss.
Khedira frowned and didn't speak.
After a while, he asked, "How many troops are there in the city now?" ”
"Less than 200,000!"
"Where's the baggage?"
"Enough grain and grass for a year, more than 200 catapults, and plenty of ammunition!"
Khedira breathed a sigh of relief, and then gave the order: "Come with me to inspect the army!" ”
The general was stunned for a moment, and asked urgently: "General, you don't plan to retreat?" ”
Khedira glanced at his generals and said confidently: "Our army can completely hold the city, why retreat!" ”
Seeing the general say this, the generals couldn't help but be stunned, and their nervous mood eased a lot.
Khedira glanced at the generals and said, "Don't forget that the 10,000 Spartan generals who defend the Kari Grand Canyon would rather die than retreat!" ”
Everyone present couldn't help but be shocked, and their faces showed shame, and then they showed a decisive look, and said proudly: "I swear to live and die with Kari!" ”
"Good!"
A day later, the Wei army surrounded the city of Kali, and over the next two days, the Wei army stormed the city, and the city crumbled.
Tarn Fortress.
Yusuf looked at the urgent summons in his hand and frowned.
"General, how's the situation on Karry's side?" One of the generals couldn't help but ask.
Yusuf shook his head and said in a deep voice: "I'm afraid they won't be able to withstand it for long!" ”
The generals were shocked, and one of the generals said worriedly: "It will take at least a month for General Seth's army to reach the east!" And once Kari is lost, the entire Thirteen Eastern Provinces will be completely exposed to the Wei army's troops! How good is that? ”
Yusuf thought for a moment, suddenly slapped the table, and said resolutely: "I have decided to go south with all my might!" ”
The generals were stunned when they heard this, and one of the generals said urgently: "General, how can we break through the defense line of the Wei army!" ”
"Shut up!" Yusuf scolded angrily, "Are you all scared by the Wei army? ”
The generals hung their heads in shame.
Yusuf snorted coldly and analyzed: "Although the Wei army is strong, its strength is limited after all!" At present, the total number of troops invested in the Western Front is only more than 700,000, and after deducting the attrition during this period, it would be good to have 600,000 who can fight! The Wei army in front of Artasat was less than 200,000 men, and the Sixth Army, which had the strongest combat effectiveness, was not very good! And we have two legions here, plus the three legions that entered Artasart in the early stage and the 200,000 defenders of Artashat, the total strength is 450,000, most of which are the main army! It is enough to break through the defensive line of the Wei army that is not in front of Artashat! I've made up my mind! Pass me the order! ”
On the same day, Yusuf handed over the defense of the Tarn Fortress to the troops of the Bosphoru Kingdom, and immediately led the only two legions in the Tarn Fortress to the south, and at the same time sent a flying pigeon to the Altashat.
At the time of Yusuf's urgent mobilization, urgent arrangements were also being made in the Roman Palace, and one of the orders was to mobilize all the local garrisons east of the Roman province.
While most of the Romans were fixed on Carry, the Roman naval general Lielund finally decided to attack the Wei army's shore base with his whole army. (To be continued.) )
