Chapter 464: The Strongest Legion (4)

In the void above everyone's heads, a huge wave appeared.

At first it was a subtle tremor, but from a certain point, the tremor quickly expanded, escalating into ripples visible to the naked eye, and then the ripples converged into waves, which superimposed into a large tide, and began to slowly rotate around a certain center, and soon formed an incomparably huge vortex, and the clouds covering the sky were attracted by this vortex, and swept in from all directions.

Invisible coercion began to appear in everyone's hearts, as if a demon god was about to descend.

Suddenly, a huge blue meteor leaped out of the center of the vortex and fell to the ground at a rapid pace.

As soon as the meteor appeared, the heavens and the earth were suddenly filled with a roaring wind, or rather, all the energy was pulled by this inexplicable meteor and began to enter a violent state. In the dark, it seemed that the entire heavenly dome was being pulled and collapsed downward.

"What is this?" Zheng Zhe's mouth opened wide, "Isn't this the trick he used when he played against the Demon Team?" ”

Chu Xuan stared at the meteor with fanatical eyes: "The Saiyan's talent for manipulating energy is too strong, generally speaking, the storage of energy must be with the help of a certain medium, such as the energy storage ring we made, but he can gather energy in the void and control it remotely, which is almost equivalent to the means of a saint, if I can crack this skill, the Zhongzhou team will no longer have to worry about energy exhaustion." Just imagine how amazing it would be if we could gather the energy of a planet or even a galaxy with enough time? ”

"Could it be that this energy aggregate is being used to directly bombard the strong orcs?" Cheng Xiao touched his chin and said.

Hearing this, everyone's eyes couldn't help but light up, just by looking at this momentum, they knew that the power of this energy meteor condensed by Wang Yang's power for several days must be quite amazing, it is not at the level of a nuclear bomb, so it bombarded the past at once, and the results are very exciting! No wonder when he was in Moria, he dared to boast to Chu Xuan about this Haikou.

But after looking at it a few more times, he was a little surprised: "How do I feel that I am coming at us?!" ”

In fact, not only him, but everyone discovered that the meteor containing huge energy fell in the direction where the Central Continent team was located.

"Are you kidding?" Everyone kicked in their hearts, and they all focused their eyes on Wang Yang again, but no one questioned it. Now that there are a lot of people from the Rohan Kingdom by their side, they can't say anything to Wang Yang, right?

They can hold it, but the Rohan Kingdom cannot, the fall of the stars only exists in legends for them, and it is equivalent to miracles, but now it has suddenly become a reality, panic is a subconscious reaction, if it weren't for the calm and steady appearance of the Central Continent team, Xi Youton did not give an order, and it is estimated that he would have drawn his sword to face each other.

Wang Yang stretched out his hands, two streamers passed, and the cadre Mo Ye appeared in his hand.

Then he crossed his swords and slammed into the earth beneath his feet.

The silent earth was awakened, and an invisible wave spread rapidly into the distance with the twin swords as the center, extending all the way to the front of the strong orc army that had already stopped. It seems that some desolate beast is wrestling, breathing, awakening, trying to break free from the shackles of the earth.

At this time, the huge meteor suddenly fell into the land in front of Wang Yang.

Everyone exclaimed in unison, but the explosion they thought did not happen, and the moment the meteor with amazing energy landed, it was like a drop of water melting into the sea, and disappeared without a trace in an instant.

The light in Wang Yang's eyes skyrocketed, and his tongue bloomed with spring thunder: "Wake up!" ”

"Knock-knock-knock-"

The majestic and long sound of war drums slowly came from the depths of the earth, carrying the iron blood and strength that shook the ages.

"Boom"

"Boom"

"Boom"

In the huge roar, the earth fell abruptly, revealing dozens of huge underground palace entrances.

An army that has been sealed in the dust of time and legends began to step out of the gate of the underground palace with neat steps. Suddenly, the wind and clouds surged on the empty land, and in front of him was the rolling chariots, the light of swords and swords, the sound of military drums in his ears, and the roar of war horses.

"It'sβ€”" Adam's unwavering eyes flashed with confusion.

"This isβ€”" Chu Xuan's calm gaze began to sharpen.

"This isβ€”" Xiyoton strangled the frightened warhorse, and his eagle-like eyes stared at the majestic military appearance, unable to hide the shock and jealousy in his heart.

The legion in front of him, about 25,000 men, was divided into five armies, arranged in two formations of forward and rearguard. The three armies in the vanguard, the right army relied on the mountain formation, the left army was next to the canal and water formation, and between the left and right armies, the middle army was horizontally deployed. After the three forward armies, the two rearguard armies gathered at the junction of the three forward armies for support. The five army formations, each with 5,000 people, formed an independent army of its own, and each army corps was arranged in the same formation, which was divided into the right formation, the left curved formation, the central formation and the military curtain command post.

The right phalanx is a rectangle arranged in depth, about 3,000 people, and is a main force composed of crossbowmen, infantry, and chariots. At the front of the phalanx were three columns of crossbowmen, each with sixty-eight men, a total of two hundred and four men, who did not wear armor and were armed with long-range weapons such as bows and crossbows, forming the vanguard of the formation. The forward was followed by the 38th Column, which was interspersed with chariots and infantry. The chariot soldiers wore armor and carried long weapons such as ge, spears, and halberds, and rode in chariots drawn by four war horses. The infantry has those who do not wear armor, and they are light infantry; There are those who wear armor, who are hoplites, and they carry various weapons. On the two flanks of the right phalanx, there is a column of crossbowmen in a horizontal formation, which is arranged outwardly as the wing guard of the right phalanx to prevent the enemy from attacking from both flanks. At the end of the right phalanx, there is a column of crossbowmen arranged backwards, acting as the rear guard of the right phalanx, preventing enemy attacks from behind. The layout of the right phalanx, according to the formation of long soldiers in front and short soldiers in the back, takes into account both offense and defense, and does not leak.

The left curved formation is a curved ruler-shaped military formation composed of four sub-formations, composed of a mixture of 900 crossbowmen, infantry, chariot soldiers, and cavalry. The four sub-formations are the crossbow formation, the cavalry formation, the mixed formation, and the chariot formation. The crossbowmen array protruded from the front of the left curved formation, consisting of three hundred and thirty-two crossbowmen. The table of the crossbow formation, that is, the four sides of the military formation are composed of 172 standing crossbowmen, and the center of the formation is 160 kneeling crossbowmen, arranged in eight columns. The outside of the crossbow array is the cavalry array, which is a rectangular military formation composed of six chariots and one hundred and eight cavalry horses, the chariot is in the front, the cavalry follows behind, the chariot is in a column of three times, and the cavalry is a group of four horses. The crossbow formation is a mixed formation, which is a rectangular military formation composed of a mixture of chariots, cavalry, and infantry, with nineteen chariots arranged in three columns, followed by two hundred and sixty-four infantry groups, and eight cavalry behind the formation. The chariot formation was flanked and mixed into a formation, and the forward converged to the right phalanx, which was a square phalanx composed of sixty-four chariots and one hundred and ninety-two armor soldiers. Sixty-four chariots were arranged in eight columns, each of which was eight chariots, each of which was drawn by four horses, with one royal hand and two armor soldiers, all heavily armoured. The left curved array is complex, forming a so-called large array with a small array, and a layout within a array. The combination of the four formations is free and can be changed freely, especially the mobile use of the cavalry, which can be described as unprecedented.

After the left curve, there is the Chinese formation. The composition of the central phalanx was similar to that of the right phalanx, consisting of 1,500 crossbowmen, light and heavy infantry, and chariot men. The Chinese side is also a rectangular military formation, and unlike the right side, the Chinese side is horizontally arranged, with the rearguard on the left and the right wing on the right, which is the support force of the corps phalanx. The headquarters of the corps, the chariot curtain, and the honor guard drum flag were arranged in the depth of the left and right phalanxes, and in the rear of the entire corps phalanx.

The large battalion of the entire legion, behind the three corps of the forward, relying on the two corps of the rear guard to move, the guard of honor is clear, the guard is strict, the knights are ordered to enter and exit, and the golden drum banner changes in an orderly manner, like a hand behind the scenes in the lantern and shadow play, directing the movement of each legion and each army formation, like a shadow.

"Io is on top, what kind of legion is this?" Iomo yelled, "Just by looking at the lineup, you can feel how terrifying their power is, and I don't think there is any legion in Middle-earth that can match them." ”

This is not only Yi Oumo's question, but also the question of the reincarnation team members, but the summoner Wang Yang is going all out, so everyone's eyes fall on Chu Xuan.

At this time, the light in Chu Xuan's eyes had slowly calmed down, and he just whispered: "I see, no wonder!" ”

Zheng Zha couldn't help but interrupt: "Chu Xuan, what is the way this is coming from, since you can see it, tell us." ”

Chu Xuan glanced at him and didn't answer directly, but said calmly: "In 209 BC, Zhou Wen, a heroic man of Chen County, was sent by Chen Sheng and Zhang Chu's regime to lead hundreds of thousands of Chu troops to conquer Hangu Pass, the gate of Guanzhong, in one fell swoop, and arrived at the east bank of the water at the foot of Lishan Mountain. Due to the suddenness of the incident, the Qin Dynasty did not have time to requisition troops from the capital near the county, and the defense was paralyzed for a while. The fall of Xianyang, the capital of the Qin Empire, is just around the corner. ”

However, at this time, Zhou Wenjun suddenly stopped advancing on the east bank of the water and settled on the spot. The halt of Zhou's army gave the dying Qin Empire a respite. Shaofu Zhang Han, who supervised the construction of the Mausoleum of the First Emperor of Lishan, asked the quasi-imperial court to suspend the fortifications of the Lishan Mausoleum, pardon the servants, prisoners and slaves who served on the construction site, distribute weapons, integrate into the army, and participate in the nearby war. Zhou Wen's army was repulsed by the Qin army and was forced to withdraw from Hangu Pass, where it was soon wiped out by the Qin army, which had been urgently recruited. Judging from the subsequent history, Zhou Wenjun's stranded stay in the water was a major turning point in the military situation between Qin and Chu since the army rose in Daze Township. For the Zhang Chu regime, taking advantage of the sudden change in the situation, the possible prospect of attacking Xianyang and destroying the Qin Empire in one fell swoop was like a fleeting phantom of lightning. From then on, Zhang Chujun lost his enterprising strength, retreated one after another, and was soon wiped out. In contrast, the Qin Empire thus gained time to breathe, sobered up from the sudden panic, and was able to mobilize and assemble the Qin army and begin to advance eastward to counterattack, turning the crisis into safety for a while. Historians compare the historical event of Zhou Wenjun's sudden halt in playing in the water to a similar incident in World War II when the German army suddenly stopped advancing at Dunkirk and lost all the fighters of the British and French forces. The German army stopped its advance at Dunkirk because Hitler gave the order to stop the advance. Why did Zhou Wenjun stop playing in the water, but because the history books were lost, it became a mystery for the ages. ”

Everyone looked at each other, puzzled. Zheng Qi scratched his head and began to follow Chu Xuan's train of thought: "Could it be because that Zhou Wen's military quality is not enough?" As far as I know, many leaders of the peasant rebel army are like this, they can't read a few big characters, and they have no talent for commanding at all, so they can't judge the situation on the battlefield, not to mention missing the fighters in vain, and what's worse is that they will be strangled one by one by the professional army that reacts. ”

It was Xiao Honglu who answered him this time: "It's a pity that Zhou Wen is not among the fools you said, Zhou Wen, also known as Zhou Zhang, is a heroic and virtuous man in Chen County, who once worked as a doorman under Chu Guochun Shenjun, one of the four princes of the Warring States Period, and has been familiar with the art of war since childhood. At the end of the Warring States period, Zhou Wen participated in the battle of Xiang Yan against Wang Qian, and he had seen the battle formation of the million-strong division of the Qin and Chu armies. In the Qin-Chu War, he joined Xiang Yan's army to serve in the war, and served as the shogunate's Shiri, equivalent to a combat staff officer, responsible for weather and terrain, divination and prediction, and has considerable military experience and talent. At that time, Wu Guangjun's southward march to Xingyang was blocked, he made a surprise strategy, led strange soldiers, captured Hangu Pass in one fell swoop, and gathered hundreds of thousands of troops to arrive at the east bank of the water, you know, from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period to the domination of the world, Qin's Hangu Pass was only broken once, including the six-nation alliance army that year attacked Qin, all of which were broken and sunk here, but Zhou Wen commanded a miscellaneous army to capture Hangu Pass; Therefore, in terms of military strategic talent, he is equivalent to Han Xin of Chen Sheng's regime. After arriving at the water, he quickly marched westward and conquered Xianyang in one fell swoop, which was Zhou Wen's established strategic goal, how could he make such a low-level mistake at such a critical moment? ”

Wang Xia and Cheng Xiao also entered the professional field, and continued in unison: "So the reason why Zhou Wenjun didn't cross the water and go west is not because he didn't want to, but because he couldn't." ”

"Yes, it just can't." Chu Xuan pointed to the legion in front of him: "And the answer to this thousand-year-old puzzle is here." ”
