Chapter 690: Roman Legion vs. Firearms Legion

On the outskirts of Vienna, the Roman legions of the Roman magnate Pompey are fighting against Gustav's firearms legion, which represents the pinnacle of the current firearms arms in the Western continent!

The white smoke filled the air, and the young soldiers of the Roman legion, as a high-level soldier, fell under the fire of Gustav's legion!

"Break through the enemy line!"

Pompey, one of the Roman triumvirate and a famous general in Roman times, knew before he fought that Gustav had an amazing army of firearms, and the best way to deal with firearms was to ambush them, or force their way out of the arquebus's range and engage in hand-to-hand combat!

The Roman legions were mainly heavy infantry and were good at hand-to-hand combat, as long as they were close to the Gustavus legions face to face, they could annihilate the fire extinguisher legions.

However, it was not so easy to break through the Gustav corps.

The Swedish pikemen formed a line of pikes to block the advance of the Roman legions, and the arquebusiers in the rear took turns firing, and hundreds of Roman soldiers fell under the fire of the firearms legions.

Gustav's bonus to the Firearms Legion is extremely high, higher than the summer cool bonus of the Commander of the Shenji Battalion, the damage of the Swedish arquebusiers is extremely terrifying, and the armor of the Roman legions cannot block the lead bullet of the arquebus at all, and it falls before the Swedish pikemen are in close combat!

The servant cavalry of Pompey's regiment attempted to storm Gustav's line phalanx, but the brave Swedish cavalry, led by Gustav's generals, pinned down the servant cavalry of Pompey's regiment.

Gustav's legion is reloading with black powder and moving forward!

The Roman legions, which valued honor, were also very brave, and under the premise of their comrades constantly dying in battle, they did not retreat but advanced in the face of the advance of Gustav's legions!

"Rome, victory!"

A centurion led his Roman hundreds, and in an unfavorable situation, took the initiative to launch a heroic charge!

The Roman youth soldiers in the front row were killed, providing an opportunity for the middle-aged and adult soldiers in the rear!

The soldiers of the Roman legion are divided into young soldiers, middle-aged soldiers, and adult soldiers according to their ranks, although they are the same kind of troops, but the combat experience is different, and the level is different, and the higher the rank, the higher the combat ability.

This sudden counterattack of the Roman Centurium inspired the other Roman soldiers, and each Roman Centurion, under the command of the centurion, began to counterattack!

The Roman soldiers who rushed to the front could already see the faces of the Swedish arquebusiers and the panic in their eyes.

Roman soldiers used shields to parry the spears of Swedish pikemen, and then used their swords to engage Swedish pikemen, whose sharp blades could pierce the armor of Swedish pikemen.

As long as you defeat the Swedish pikemen standing in the front and the Swedish musketeers behind, it is impossible to resist the brave Roman legionnaires.

"Victory belongs to Rome!"

Pompey saw that his legion had bravely broken through the range of the arquebusiers and was about to enter the Swedish arquebusiers, and his frowning brow finally relaxed.

Even if the arquebusiers were strong at armor-piercing, hand-to-hand combat was no match for the Roman infantry.

When the Roman legions killed the Swedish pikemen and were already about to break through the thin Swedish pikemen, a group of burly warriors emerged from behind the Swedish pikemen.

The Roman centurion, who originally led the Roman centurion to break the disadvantage, was slashed in the shoulder with an axe, and his flesh and blood were blurred.

"Kill them all!"

The Viking leader Olaf holds a crimson battle axe, and the Viking berserkers of the Jumus Warband team up with the Swedish pikemen to fight off the Roman soldiers!

This group of Viking berserkers with amazing damage represents the pinnacle infantry of Norse civilization, and a single Viking berserker can take on several Roman infantry at the same time!

Seeing that the Swedish musketeers were about to be defeated, the Roman legions were suddenly fended off by the Viking berserkers, and the Swedish musketeers in the rear had reloaded with black powder!

The terrifying sound of the arquebus rang out, and more Roman soldiers fell!

The Roman legions, attacked by musketeers and Viking berserkers, are once again defeated!

Olaf led the Eumus wargroup to hunt down the Roman legions, their tomahawks could cut the shields of Roman soldiers, and there was already a Roman captain and two centurions who fell under Olaf's tomahawks, and the Yumus warbands have killed thousands of Roman soldiers!

Pompey brought authentic Roman soldiers, only more than 10,000 people, this battle suffered heavy losses, and the Swedish cavalry on both flanks defeated the Roman servant cavalry, Pompey was in danger of being surrounded and captured alive.

"Capture Pompey, you can ask Rome for a sum of gold and silver, and at the same time increase the influence of our Swedish kingdom."

"And the eagle banner of Rome, at least you can ask the Romans for tens of thousands of taels of gold!"

Gustav sent his own guard, and he couldn't wait to capture Pompey, one of the three giants of Rome, so that his prestige would be greatly enhanced.

Pompey's influence in Rome was not small, and his power should be willing to pay 10,000 taels of gold for the redemption of Pompey.

Gustav had to try to collect gold and silver through various means to maintain his strong legion.

Killing Pompey would not do him much good, but would give Rome a chance to unify.

If the Roman Empire had only two giants, then a civil war would surely break out, and eventually one giant would be left to become the Augustus of Rome, and the unified Roman Empire would be extremely terrifying. And the three giants can just maintain a stable balance and disperse the forces of Rome.

Pompey's two Roman legions were defeated, and the Servant Legions, after the defeat of the Roman Legions, were demoralized and unwilling to engage Gustav's formidable Swedish legions, even though there were Roman officers behind them.

"I can't retreat, or I'll be laughed at by Caesar and Constantine!"

Pompey gritted his teeth, knowing that his legion had been defeated, but he was still a little unwilling and threw himself into the reserves.

Before he knew it, he had become the weakest of the three Roman giants, and his prestige would continue to decline if he was defeated by Gustav.

"Caesar, Lord Constantine's legions have arrived!"

When Pompey was in crisis, Caesar and Constantine's legions arrived in time, and their Roman legions were outflanked from the left and right.

The Roman triumvirate joined forces and really fought hard, and Gustav may not be able to stop it.

It was also possible that the original arquebus legions could be defeated by the Roman legions.

"Retreat!"

Pompey counted the 30,000 soldiers he had brought with him to Vienna, and fought Gustav, killing tens of thousands of them, with a battle loss rate of more than one-third.

Fortunately, he had more soldiers who had not yet arrived in Vienna, and the main force did not suffer heavy losses, otherwise his power in Rome would have been divided between Caesar and Constantine.

As long as the interests that Rome did not have, Caesar and Constantine would have been more than happy to divide up Pompey's legions. The last Roman giant to be carved up was Crassus.

"Are we going to attack Gustav's legions?"

Constantine had a group of warlike Roman generals under his command, and Caesar also had the Roman Triumvirate and a group of Roman generals, who joined forces and were not very afraid of Gustavus.

"The morale of my regiment has dropped and I can't fight anymore."

Pompey feared the annihilation of the army and voluntarily chose to withdraw.

"Polish hussars appear!"

When the Roman legions were hesitating to attack, the Polish king's hussars went out and quickly entered the battlefield, taking advantage of this opportunity to attack the Roman legions from the flank!

"Reinforcements have arrived, destroy the Roman legions!"

The Gustavus legion, which had originally retreated, began to press on the Roman legions again!

Although he also had a holiday with the Kingdom of Poland, the two sides chose to join forces in this battle!

The Roman legions, which lacked high-level cavalry, were a little struggling in the face of the onslaught of the Polish hussasars, and Caesar's general Lepida led the Roman cavalry and was broken through by the Polish hussars!

The characteristic cavalry of Polish civilization defeated the arrogant Lepida.

A Roman legion, led by Antony, came to fend off the Polish hussars.

The Polish hussars assaulted head-on, the cavalry pierced the shields of the Roman soldiers, the Roman soldiers located behind the shields were pierced by the cavalry spears, and the Polish hussars had a tendency to break through the Roman legions!

"It's the Polish hussars, and it seems that the king of Poland is also on Attila's side. You go to the aid of Lepida and Anthony. ”

Caesar also had some headaches with the Polish hussars, and he sent his adopted son Octavian.

The Polish hussars dared to engage the Teutonic Knights head-on, and both sides had their own victories and defeats, and the Roman legions had to be cautious in the face of this special cavalry.

"The Lithuanian corps appeared on the flank!"

The light cavalry of the Grand Duke of Lithuania pinned down Constantine's legions, and did not directly fight with the Roman legions commanded by famous Roman generals such as Scipio the Great and Scipio the Younger, but only used the mobility of the cavalry to contain them, so that Constantine's Roman legions did not have the opportunity to support Caesar or escape.

The Roman legions faced the combined forces of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth and the Nordic civilizations!

The Polish king flanked the assault, Gustav's legions suppressed head-on, and the Lithuanian Grand Duke lacked strong cavalry, responsible for containment, and the three king-level heroes, cooperating with each other, actually had some tacit understanding, causing the two Roman giants to retreat.

The Polish hussars were very capable of frontal breakthroughs, and the greater threat was Gustav's legions, and once Gustav approached, the Roman giants would also be defeated, and Pompey had proved this possibility with a bloody lesson.

The Polish hussars defeated the Roman cavalry of Lepida, and attacked Octavian, who supported Lepida and Antony, without stopping!

The young Octavian, because of Caesar's connections, was able to take charge of a legion and became one of the most sought-after legion commanders in Rome, which was one of the few times he led alone, but he faced the Polish hussars under the command of the Polish king himself!

The Polish king was once defeated by several barbarian leaders such as Attila and the Ostrogothic king, but he had a high bonus to the special class of Polish hussars, giving the young Octavian an unforgettable lesson!

Polish hussars armed with extra-long spears burst into Octavian's legions, and Roman soldiers were killed one by one!

Caesar found that Octavian could not stop the Polish hussars, so he had to put on a crimson cloak and personally lead the Roman legions in a fierce battle with the Polish king!

After Caesar himself went into battle, the ability of the Roman legions increased, and the Roman adult soldiers threw javelins, and the sharp javelins burst through the air and pierced through the armor of the Polish hussars!

"Banner of the Teutonic Order!"

On the horizon, the cross flag of the Teutonic Knights is raised!

"The army of the Kingdom of Macedonia has arrived!"

When Alexander heard that Pompey was engaged in battle with Gustav's legions, he immediately led his troops to support.

"Temujin, his cavalry is here too!"

Attila's camp, the cavalry of Temujin, feared by the lords of the West, has reappeared!
