Chapter 8: Facing the Battle
In the early morning of the second day, near an unknown canyon near the 100,000 Great Mountain, an army of nearly 1,000 people was slowly advancing towards it, and in front of this team was a knight in black gorgeous armor That's right, this is Yang Ye, At this time, Yang Ye looked at the canyon close at hand, and the corners of his eyes showed a touch of worry, after all, it was the first time to really go to the battlefield, and he still had to rely on half of the soldiers who were on the battlefield for the first time and were undertrained to resist the barbarians struggling to survive in the 100,000 mountains, and just yesterday, Yang Ye used the system to query the combat power of this batch of recruits:
Name of unit: Roman Youth Army
Synopsis: The Roman youth army is the vanguard of the legions, weakening the enemy and waiting for the next wave of attacks
Combat effectiveness: ★ ☆ (This is a militia that is a little more disciplined than ordinary militia)
Equipment: ★ ☆ (These soldiers have this better light infantry equipment)
Evaluation: This is a group of militiamen with such better equipment, don't expect them to have much combat effectiveness. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Every time I think of this evaluation, Yang Ye is extremely worried, although I don't know the combat effectiveness of the barbarians, but how do I think that these barbarians are also stronger than the combat effectiveness of these soldiers! But if you open the bow and don't look back, the arrow will not die, you can only bite the bullet, if you defeat the barbarians, you can avoid the losses caused by the defense of the city, and you can get the system reward 6000 people of the prime-age Roman citizens, this is a lot of wealth, you must know that in the early days of the reform of Marius in Rome, the prime-age Roman citizens were the main tax force or the main core of the Roman legions, Because Roman citizens were at the peak of their lives in the age of self-equipment, they were the most wealthy, so the equipment they wore after enlisting was also the best. And the family generals, let alone the generals, because Yang Ye doesn't even have generals now.
Just when Yang Ye was thinking wildly, the Roman army came to the bottom of this canyon. Tiberius came to Yang Ye at some point and found that Yang Ye was wandering outside the world, but now he was competing with the barbarians, so he said, "My lord! Is it time to start arranging defenses? This sentence released Yang Ye from his chaotic thoughts.
"What did you say?" Yang Ye asked embarrassedly, because he didn't even hear the words of his subordinates because of his cranky thoughts just now. Hearing Yang Ye's question, Tiberius recounted without dissatisfaction: "My lord, do you want to start arranging defenses now?" Yang Ye, who had heard Tiberius clearly, finally gave the order to arrange the defenses, and then handed over all the problems to Tiberius.
After all, Yang Ye was just a small otaku in his previous life, although his hobby was a game within the strategy, but the game is different from reality, in the game, you face the NPC of Muna, but in reality, if you want to defeat the enemy, you don't rely on those methods to deal with NPCs, so the arrangement of defense is still left to professionals, and Yang Ye is better to learn later.
When Tiberius went to arrange the defense, Yang Ye began to observe the length of this canyon, about 100 meters wide, about 200 meters, as for the height, sorry, Yang Ye really can't see it, but from both sides of the canyon are cliffs, from the canyon from the bottom up, there is a feeling of a glimmer of sky, the terrain is estimated to have been compared with the hot springs.
But even if there is the terrain of this hot spring pass, Yang Ye can't play the same record as the hot springs, because Yang Ye doesn't want to be a lifelong professional warrior like Sparta, and the other side is not facing most of the advancing Medes warriors who can only move forward by whipping non-commissioned officers, but struggling to survive in the 100,000 mountains, and can compete with the Canaan Empire, and even be regarded as a big trouble, the barbarian soldiers who can only expect the barbarians who come here are not strong, if they come to the elite of the barbarians, Yang Ye can only simply run away. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- time is always spent unconsciously, In the noon sun, the barbarian troops came to this canyon, of course, they also found these Roman soldiers who were arranging defenses, in fact, arranging defenses, in fact, it was to clear the bushes outside the canyon that could be avoided, and open up their horizons to prevent sneak attacks. The next step was to dig a simple mound of earth at the back of the canyon to give the javelin-throwing soldiers a wide field of vision.
When the Roman soldiers were busy making the final defense, a burly figure in the barbarian team was looking at this side and sneered again and again, this figure was Lanur, as a barbarian who fought all year round, Lanur could clearly see that the immaturity of these soldiers' methods when arranging the defense could be said to be half the effort, it was obvious that these were new recruits, and they were soldiers who had not even been trained for a long time. In Lanur's opinion, this group of troops has no other than strong equipment, and his soldiers can directly break through this group of recruits who dare to go out of the city to fight.
With this in mind, Nanur ordered to his lieutenant captain: "Gul has the warriors except the samurai gather to attack, these chicks tear apart their defenses, and let them see how powerful our barbarians are!" Then attack their towns and plunder their riches and feast on their women! And the warriors who are the first to tear through the defense can be the first to choose a woman. The vice-captain named Guli heard Lanur's words, and his face full of flesh showed a hideous smile: "Obey my captain, I will be the first to tear through their defenses" After speaking, he went down to gather his troops, and after a while, there was a commotion among the barbarians, and then a whole barbarian army, except for dozens of samurai wearing chain armor, began to run towards the canyon, and it was the deputy captain Guli who ran at the beginning.
At this time, in the canyon, Tiberius saw that the barbarians were starting to attack, and shouted: "Defend the array!" The centurions who heard Tibilius's words quickly began to organize the soldiers to set up an array, each row of 200 people, a total of 4 rows, of which the first 2 rows were recruits, the last two rows were veterans, and the remaining 160 people, half of the old and the new, were used as flag guards (each legion had a hundred-man team dedicated to protecting the eagle flag), and the javelinmen carried the eagle banner of the Siapi family and climbed the temporary pile of about 1,100 javelins on the dirt slope with about 1,100 javelins on it, as javelinmen. As for the javelins, all the Roman soldiers on the front line were gathered together except for a heavy javelin as a pre-war throw, and they were supplied to the Roman youth army in the rear as javelinmen, of course, there were 180 of these javelins that Yang Ye ordered the blacksmith shop to make urgently.
Soon the barbarians rushed to a place about 150 meters away from the mouth of the canyon, looking at the overwhelming barbarians, the recruits standing in the first row, the hands holding the weapons began to tremble, at this time, the voices of the centurions and veterans in the back row came, "Steady, lean back and prepare to throw the javelin, and then quickly put your shoulders against the shield and prepare for the impact!" I have to say that although the words of these veterans did not have any words of encouragement, they calmed down the nervous hearts of these recruits a little.
150 meters is just more than ten seconds, and it is very fast, but some of the barbarians who rushed to the front were doomed to not arrive, because when they rushed to 100 meters, there was a burst of "Throw!" from the Roman camp. After the roar, he saw the overwhelming javelins coming towards him, and the barbarians with shields raised the shields in their hands, while those who did not have them looked at the oncoming javelins with a desperate expression. The barbarians who reacted quickly quickly pulled their comrades around them in a short moment and blocked them in front of them, hoping to dodge them, but their efforts were in vain, was the Roman heavy javelin so easy to block?
I saw that the barbarians who charged in front of the hundreds of soldiers were wiped out in an instant in the overwhelming blow of the javelins, and only a part of the barbarian soldiers with better shields survived, why did they say that they were better shields? Because if the barbarians without the shield are already in the same situation as those who do not have a shield, there is only one more step to penetrate the shield before entering the body.
And those barbarians who pretended to be clever enough to keep their compatriots in front were nailed to the ground together, and some of the barbarians who had only been pierced through the abdomen and had not yet died, wailed and tried to pull out the javelin to reduce its pain, but it was all in vain, because the Roman javelin was hollow, and after entering the object, it would bend to prevent it from being pulled out by the enemy and thrown back, and the bent javelin was not easy to be pulled out of the shield, so it was better to lose the shield with it. However, after losing the shield, the Roman soldiers with the large shield and short sword were extremely disadvantaged.
At this time, the 100 meters before the Roman army formation was like a javelin hell, and there were constantly wailing sounds, on the other hand, there was incomparable silence in the Roman army formation, although this wave of javelins wiped out hundreds of barbarians, but no one cheered, because the real test had just begun......
