Chapter 378: The Glaive Array and the Roman Battle Array

As soon as Julius left, Antonio had already hurried over with Julia, and gave a salute with an uneasy face: "Envoy, those barbarians are unreasonable, I can't persuade them, please don't be angry!" ”

Wei Feng waved his hand: "How can a warrior be afraid of fighting? It's no wonder you're doing this, I just want to see the combat power of the barbarians! As he spoke, he turned his head and shouted: "Zhang Ning, go and call some brothers, this time it's all up to you, don't be contemptuous, but don't be afraid!" ”

"Yes!" Zhang Ning's eyes flashed with excitement, and he stepped on the war horse and hurried away.

As the saying goes, good things don't go out, bad things spread thousands of miles, and somehow, the news that the king's army will duel with the Roman merchants spread like a plague throughout the city, and the city was instantly full of sensations, and the originally dispersed people and caravans from various countries poured out of the city, and when Zhang Ning led the guards and Julius led two hundred Germans back to the field one after another, there was already a sea of people outside the field!

Originally, there were about more than 10,000 people who came early in the morning to watch the joint exercise of the two armies, but at this time, there were more than 350,000 people, and there were also people who came.

As soon as they met, Mrs. Chu was dissatisfied: "Feiyang, what are you fighting with the barbarians?" The guards are all the elites you have trained single-handedly, and good steel has to be used on the blade, in case there are casualties, see if you are distressed! ”

Yu Shi also snorted coldly: "Hmph! Simply surrounded by a large army, and killed by random arrows, who would dare to move if he made an example? ”

Wei Feng suddenly shuddered, and subconsciously glanced at Antonio and Julia, who were stunned. Then he waved his hand and said: "Mrs. Yu, shoot people to death indiscriminately, who will dare to do business with us in the future?" The Romans pay attention to contracts and re-trust promises, if I really listen to your advice, I will lose the face of all our Jin people, I can't try to be quick for a while, killing with a knife and a gun in a duel is another matter, others will only give a thumbs up and praise the brothers for their bravery! ”

Zhang Ning arched his hand: "Please rest assured, the two housewives." The brothers have not eaten for nothing in the past few years. It's easy to deal with two hundred barbarians! ”

"It's good to have faith, but don't be careless!" Wei Feng admonished, and then said: "After Li Zhu comes back, bring Julia to the island to design the battleship." I've got to make a long trip on my own. I'm afraid I'll be back next year. Before that, it is necessary to establish authority to prevent Panyu from giving birth to chaos. These Germanic people came to the door, and they were the best people to stand up! ”

From beginning to end, Wang Man has been secretly looking at Julia, everything about Julia was reported to her by Miss Chen, including hugging Wei Feng and kissing her!

Originally, Wang Man was still muttering in her heart, but after a closer look, Julia not only looked weird, her figure was five big and three thick, especially dirty, her hair was messy, and her body faintly exuded a specific smell that was not clear, but she was immediately defined as a smell of sassiness, except for the two groups on her chest that were really majestic, there was no place like a woman at all, she didn't believe that Wei Feng's taste would be so low, she should really use it as a subordinate, and she secretly put her mind at ease.

At this time, hearing that Wei Feng was going to go far away, Wang Man couldn't help but be surprised: "Wei Lang, where are you going to go?" ”

Liu Xingnan hurriedly cast her eyes over, and going out was what she was most willing to do.

Wei Feng pointed due south, and said helplessly: "You also know that there is not much grain and grass in the army, it will be gone in two months at most, and it will not last next year's early rice harvest, so I can only get stuck in the rice harvest to grab the rice, my goal is Lijiawu Fort in Gaoliang County, taking advantage of the dry climate this winter and next spring, to solve the problem of Gaoliang County in one fell swoop!" ”

All the women were a little gloomy in their hearts, and they were about to leave again before they landed, but they also understood that this was indeed the truth, and when they entered the city, they said to Panyu Wenwu that there was no shortage of food and grass, and that was completely so that they didn't have to worry, among them, the Xie sisters Hua and Wang Man's mood was the most complicated!

When the sisters first accepted their grace, it was inevitable that they would be reluctant, and Wang Man counted the days with her hands every day, which was good, seeing that she was about to go out of mourning, and the man was leaving, she also wanted to conceive a child for Wei Feng before the sister flower as soon as possible, and completely consolidated her status as a big woman, but what else can she say now?

The loss of her daughter fell into Yu's eyes without a trace, Yu's willow eyebrows frowned, and she turned her head and proposed: "General Wei, why are you in such a hurry to leave?" Man'er will be mourned in ten days, so you can go after you are husband and wife! ”

Wei Feng spread his hands and said helplessly: "The rice will be harvested in the middle of this month, Gaoliang is five hundred miles away from Panyu, I will run on a light horse, and I will have to leave on the tenth day at the latest, otherwise, let Wang Man follow me, anyway, she has not gone on a journey with me!" ”

Wang Man was tempted for a moment, but then shook his head: "Wei Lang, there was no way before, but now that you have a concubine, how can you run around casually?" If the concubine doesn't go, stay at home with your mother, you have to be careful and come back early. ”

"I understand, it won't be until next summer at the latest!" Wei Feng understood Wang Man, smiled, and waved his hand to Zhang Ning: "Go ahead, you can kill or capture it!" ”

"Yes!" Zhang Ning gave a salute, led two hundred guards to the center of the field, all of them were full of bright light armor, bows, crossbows, knives and guns were complete, and the temporary column was the deformed glaive array, that is, a hundred crossbowmen were laid in front of the formation, divided into two teams on the left and right, if it was a large glaive array, there were flag bearers behind the two teams of crossbowmen, but because it was a small battle of two hundred people, shouting with his mouth did not affect the transmission of orders at all, so the flag bearers were omitted, and the next hundred people were divided into five teams, each team of twenty people, four teams were laid in front of Zhang Ning, and another team was behind him, Use as a replacement.

As the guards came on, the noisy crowd quieted down for a moment, and Julius on the other side also rushed into the field with two hundred Germanic warriors, about two hundred steps away from the guards, the Germans were standard Roman sword and shield soldiers, wearing short ring armor to protect the shoulders, chest, abdomen and thighs, the armor of this kind of armor is larger than the fish scale armor, but the coverage is the same, compared with the Mingguang armor, its helmet is more distinctive, the top is like a bright cockscomb, the armor on both sides of the helmet protects the entire cheek, only the nose, eyes and mouth are exposed.

The short swords they used were about three feet long and two inches wide, glowing with the cold light of the forest, and the shields were half a zhang high and three feet wide and oblong, and the wooden skin was reinforced with metal strips, which looked delicate and strong, and in addition to the sword and shield, each of them also had two zhang xu spears stuck in their backs!

The main body of the Roman legion is a chessboard-style three-horizontal team battle formation, the so-called three-horizontal team, does not refer to three rows of soldiers, but three rows of small squares, but also limited by the number of people, the Germans only laid out the first two and one after the three phalanxes of the inverted triangle type, each array is ten people wide, six to seven people in depth, and the interval between the phalanx and the phalanx is slightly greater than a phalanx.

Originally, there should be cavalry on the flanks to cover the troops, but Wei Feng did not fight with cavalry, and they were embarrassed to ask for war horses, in fact, this was more or less in the minds of the Germans, the cavalry of the Roman legions was underdeveloped, and the only role was to cover the flanks, and the main force of the battle was still the sword and shield soldiers.
