Chapter 1243: Phalanx Encirclement
"In the name of Great Qin, fight for China!"
The Great Qin warriors issued a cry of decisive death. In this land where I was born and raised, they will fight to the end, never to the death.
5,000 Great Qin warriors launched a decisive charge against 70,000 Romans. The golden figure is always in front, and the golden edge has never dimmed.
No emperor has ever led his empire like this. This is not his empire alone, this is the empire of all the Chinese people. No one can stop the rise of such an empire, and on the way to the top, the remains of the enemy will witness the glory of the empire.
In the sound of golden drums, Qin Feng took the lead, led five thousand Qin iron cavalry, and rushed to the Roman battle array.
Buzzing, roaring, and the sound of horns, 14,000 Roman spearmen and archers, because they were facing the galloping Great Qin cavalry, they were able to launch an offensive first. Ten thousand spears and ten thousand arrows were fired in unison, and the overwhelming weapons plunged the earth into darkness. However, the cold glow emitted by the sharp weapon caused the earth to constantly flicker with white light.
Qin Feng's iron cavalry is a light heavy cavalry, why it is light, because the soldier's armor is much thinner than that of the heavy cavalry, and the horse is the front half-body armor.
However, this is Daqin's Imperial Forest Army, the most elite armed force of Daqin, and it is equipped with pure steel armor, which is not comparable to ordinary iron. In this regard, it can also be called "heavy". Therefore, the Imperial Forest Army of Great Qin was able to achieve the speed of light cavalry and the protection of heavy cavalry.
At the moment of long-range strike, the essential difference between pure steel equipment and wrought iron is clear at a glance. The Great Qin warriors who were concentrated by the spears were like being punched hard. However, warriors will never go down in the face of heavy punches. And those bows. It was as if the bullets were fired on a tank, and they were bounced off one after another.
Qin Feng himself was hit by two spears. Smash the five internal turmoil. Take a deep breath and breathe a sigh of relief at the same time. He dared 5,000 men to intercept 70,000 men from Rome. It is also because the quality of the equipment of the Imperial Forest Army surpasses that of the Romans in an all-round way, and even compared with the alloy equipment of later generations, it is only one step away.
Unfortunately, the production capacity is limited and large-scale installation is not possible.
His golden armor is different, known as the Xuanlong armor, which is cast by meteorites outside the sky, and no soldier can break it. And Qin Feng has double insurance inside. It is obtained from Dong Zhuo's treasure armor. Dong Zhuo was stabbed unscathed by the spearmen when he entered the palace that year, and the defensive power of this treasure armor can be seen.
Qin Feng also played with his life, taking the lead and looking at Pompey.
At this time, Pompey was a little dumbfounded, because the two sides were relatively close to each other due to the conversation just now, and he saw more clearly that his spearmen and archers could not cause damage to each other. In the face of thousands of horses galloping, his heart and gall were suddenly broken, and he shouted: "Return to this formation." Hurry back! ”
The chariot is gorgeous, and it stands magnificently, but it is not as fast as riding a horse when it turns around. When Liu Bei had already turned around, Pompey's coachman was still scolding the war horse.
Qin Feng rushed up. A single shot stabbed the purebred "Rome" in the neck on the left, and when it was pulled out, blood spurted from the horse's neck, and this "Rome" Herod fell to the ground. The whole carriage overturned on its side.
Pompey was also extraordinary, jumping down. Look at Qin Feng is coming. Behind him were thousands of galloping horses, their faces ashen. Press the brush helmet, and the sword in his hand pointed at Liu Bei, "Liu Bei, give me the horse, go and kill Emperor Hongwu!" ”
Liu Bei's face was green, and his heart said don't joke, the horse is for you, I'll kill it, I'm going to die!
Pompey saw again: "Liu Bei, you are the god of competition, the god of competition, it is easy to kill Emperor Hongwu, great opportunity, great opportunity, go quickly!" ”
For many years, as long as Qin Feng charged, Liu Bei would run, and Liu Bei was also used to running. At this time, he was stunned for a moment, and shook one ear, "That's right, I'm a gladiator, I'm much better!" He looked back, Qin Feng was still a certain distance away from his army, gritted his teeth, turned his horse back, raised his double-strand sword, and rushed forward to meet Qin Feng.
Although Pompey did not get the horses, but he got the time, he galloped back to his camp, and shouted: "The spearmen and archers retreat, the hoplites are in dense formation, and the tortoiseshell array is arranged!" ”
Rome's 14,000 long-range troops also turned around and ran inward.
Boom, a puff of crossbow arrows, crossed Qin Feng, like a swarm of locusts rushing into the Roman wheat field, harvesting a large number of Roman spearmen and archers.
The continuous rain of arrows surprised Rome, which came from the Yuanrong crossbow equipped by the Imperial Forest Army, and the crossbow box fired ten times in a row.
Roman spearmen and archers often faced the enemy's rain of arrows, but did not expect this time to be a non-stop blow. Caught off guard, a large number of soldiers fell on the way back to the rear of the formation. The volley of 5,000 men and 10 bursts took the lives of more than 10,000 Roman ranged soldiers, and the Roman infantry jumped down in horror and had to retreat to avoid the corpses.
As the remnants of the ranged forces deepened, the Roman infantry began to combine with each other, block by block, and the fish scale arrays with space around them. Ten blocks, closed into one large square.
Closing one after another, it looks like a giant precision instrument, and when viewed from the sky, it is very spectacular.
Zhuge Liang, who entered the battle, was very worried, and he found that the armament of the Great Qin Imperial Forest Army was completely above the Romans, however, the "tortoiseshell array" of Rome was famous all over the world. In the past, on the Resting Plateau, the heavy cavalry of the Persian Empire was killed. "If Great Qin's Imperial Forest Army is surrounded and the space is compressed, it will definitely be defeated!"
At this time, Liu Bei had already faced Qin Feng.
"Liu Xuande, take your life!" Qin Feng raised the golden gun, picked it up and smashed it.
When there was a loud sound, Liu Bei raised his sword and held it slightly. The force of the shock caused Qin Feng's arm to suffer a sharp pain.
"Huh?" Qin Feng was stunned, when was Liu Bei's force so powerful?
Liu Bei laughed, "Qin Zijin, when you were enjoying yourself in the deep palace, I practiced hard day and night, and today, I will let you know how powerful my "God of Competition" Liu Bei is!" ”
Qin Feng suddenly heard about this from Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, and exclaimed: "What a proud fart!" He held a gun in his right hand to suppress Liu Bei, pulled out the Yitian sword with his left hand, and said in his heart: "In the past, Zilong had a gun in his right hand and a sword in his left hand, and today, the master also fights!" ”
"Meng De, watch me use your Heavenly Sword to kill this national scum! Liu Xuande, take your life! ”
The white light flickered, and a sword slashed angrily.
Liu Bei was taken aback, but fortunately it was a two-handed sword, and it was also a left-handed sword that greeted him.
When Chang~.
"Wow! The sword is broken! ”
When the long, when the long, when the long.
Three times in a row, when Liu Bei withdrew the sword again, there was only the hilt left. The double-strand sword turned into a single-strand sword, and his face turned white, and he shouted, "Qin Zijin, have you practiced too?" "If Liu Bei knew that Qin Feng drank the big tonic soup every day, ate the big tonic pills, got up early to practice, and exercised at night, he probably wouldn't dare to be so hard.
"If you had known, you would have killed it with your skills!" Liu Bei was careless, seeing that the Qin army was coming, he had completely lost the opportunity, shook his hand and threw out the hilt of his sword, shouting: "Qin Zijin, I will take your life later!" ”
When Qin Feng opened the hilt of the sword, he saw that Liu Bei had already galloped away, and shouted: "Release the arrow, release the arrow!" ”
Xiu Xiu, the Great Qin soldiers behind him fired thousands of arrows, and most of them looked at Liu Bei's back and left.
Liu Bei is no longer the ear he used to be, he is worthy of being honed in the gladiatorial arena of blood and sand for many years, turning around here, the single sword is dancing impermeable, and all the arrows are shot down, and he laughs and says: "Qin Zijin, if you want to sneak attack me, no way!" ”
Peng~, "Wow! When Liu Bei flew away, Qin Feng was shocked.
He saw Liu Bei crash in front of the Romans' "tortoiseshell formation", and the horse fell to the ground instantly, and the tortoiseshell formation was just a few soldiers in the front row swaying. And Liu Bei, who flew down on the shield above the tortoiseshell array, rolled around with a grunt, and when he stopped, he didn't roll out of the thousand-person array.
Liu Bei jumped up on the tortoiseshell array, endured the pain in his blue nose and swollen face, and shouted: "Qin Zijin, let you see the power of the Roman tortoiseshell array!" After Liu Bei finished speaking, he jumped down and disappeared into the Roman array.
Pompey used the world-famous Roman phalanx tactics to fight against the cavalry's phalanx "tortoiseshell formation". More than 50,000 Roman infantry were deployed in units of 1,000 people, and the outermost infantry of the phalanx held the Roman shield in front of them, and the soldiers in each row inside raised the large shield above their heads. People are compact with each other, shields are connected to each other, and the whole thing is a turtle with five bodies shrunk in a shell, and it can still move.
This is precisely the dense queue that can defend against cavalry shooting, and the impact force is distributed over each soldier, so that it can resist the impact of cavalry horses.
Qin Feng saw Liu Bei's mount fall in front of the tortoiseshell formation, unable to get up for a long time, and the corners of his eyes twitched. However, from the very beginning, he did not think of assaulting the Roman phalanx, and shouted: "A long snake formation, ring the enemy formation." ”
Since the enemy was all infantry, they were able to use their speed to charge back and forth around the perimeter of the entire Roman battle array.
In the Roman tortoiseshell array, the impact of the cavalry will be absorbed by the entire phalanx, and the shield is used as a tortoise shell, not afraid of the enemy's bow and arrows. With proper scheduling, it was able to compress the roundabout space of the enemy's cavalry, and the cavalry that eventually lost space and speed would be pushed together by the Roman infantry and surrounded and killed.
Especially playing more and playing less, it has a miraculous effect.
Qin Feng's Imperial Forest Army kept wandering, and almost all the sharp arrows shot by the strong bow were blocked by the Roman shield, and only a few lucky ones shot in through the gap, killing and injuring a few Romans, but for the entire Roman array, it was unscathed.
Three hours later, more than 50 Roman phalanxes were mobilized, completely compressing the space of the 5,000 Qin cavalry and surrounding the Qin army on a square mile of territory. Subsequently, more than fifty Roman phalanxes, all of which were Qin cavalry facing the center. Slowly advancing, preparing to encircle and kill.
Pompey laughed, stroked the brush on his head, and pointed: "Emperor Hongwu only thought that the cavalry was fast, and tried in vain to use the speed to guerrilla to consume our army, but he didn't know that our Roman phalanx had a special way to deal with cavalry!" Hmph, the next time against the cavalry of the Qin army, there will be no long-range troops, all of them will be in tortoiseshell formations! ”
"High, really high!" Liu Bei lowered his eyebrows, looking at the golden figure in the center that had stopped running, and his heart was also happy. If Qin Feng died, Great Qin would be defeated. The Romans needed Liu Bei's help to rule the interior of China, and Liu Bei's opportunity came.
"How so? Why not retreat, let the Romans surround it, how to command! Zhuge Liang shook the feather fan urgently, full of worry. (To be continued......)
