Soon, several frightened cavalrymen were pulled in front of the commander, looking at the frightened expressions of these soldiers, the commander felt very angry, it had only been a few minutes since the battle, as for being frightened like this. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

"What the hell did you just encounter, and why did you break up so quickly?" Suppressing the anger in his heart, the commander asked angrily.

"My lord, we have just been attacked by the enemy on the opposite side with weapons like burning sticks, and in just a few rounds, more than 2,000 of us have been killed, and our shields and armor are unable to block the opponent's attack, we really can't rush down!"

"What! In such a short period of time, more than 2,000 cavalrymen were killed, and these Neo-Carthaginian weapons are too terrifying! After hearing the casualty figures of his own army, the commander couldn't help but be shocked, more than 2,000 people accounted for one-tenth of the number of this cavalry force!

"Since this group of enemies in front of you is so powerful! Then let's get around them, anyway, the New Carthage is so big and there are so many cities, I don't believe they can hold it! After thinking for a while, the commander dispelled the idea of going head-to-head with the opposing army, although in his opinion, with his huge superiority in troops, the battle could be won, but the final casualties would not be small. This is not good news for him, after all, although he was elected as the commander-in-chief of this army, but these armies are actually made up by various countries, and if the losses are too great, those kings will definitely settle accounts with him afterwards. So if you can't fight, don't fight! As long as you can grab something.

But the commander had barely gone far with his army when a Neo-Carthaginian army suddenly appeared in front of them without warning, blocking their way.

And the appearance of this army seemed to be a signal, and in a few minutes, on all sides of them, they suddenly surrounded the army of New Carthage, blocking all their retreats.

"Oops! We are in ambush! Seeing this, the soldiers and generals of the multinational coalition army all panicked.

Although the commander was also flustered in his heart, he knew that it was up to him how he commanded whether he could break out of a way out of his life now, so he forced himself to calm down, then looked around, pointed to Zhou Cang and Obama and said, "There are the least enemies there, let's rush out from that side!" ”

After hearing the commander's words, the soldiers of the multinational coalition immediately rushed after him and the others as if they had found their backbone, trying to fight their way out.

When Zhou Cang saw this situation, he couldn't help but secretly complain, these more than 500,000 people rushed towards his side together, and it was really difficult to stop the 50,000 people on his side, even if he added those musketeers under Obama.

Contrary to Zhou Cang, when Ohama saw this situation, he laughed excitedly and said, "Haha! Just right! Those cavalry couldn't help fighting just now, and I have another new weapon here that I haven't been able to use! This is the way to greet them this time! ”

At this time, Zhou Cang had already ordered the artillery to open fire, because the number was very huge, so every shell could kill at least dozens of enemies, but this was nothing compared to the huge base of the enemy. Regardless of the roar of the cannons on Zhou Cang's side, the soldiers of the multinational coalition did not have the slightest tendency to stop, after all, they also understood that if they couldn't find a way out as soon as possible, they would have to wait for death after the surrounding enemies pressed up.

Soon the musket troops under Obama also joined the attack, but this still could not shake the determination of these multinational coalition forces to break out of the encirclement, the soldiers in the front row had just been killed by muskets, and more soldiers would soon pour in behind, so that the musketeers under Obama had no time to kill, seeing these guys stepping on the corpses of their comrades, they were about to rush to the front.

Zhou Cang looked at the back in a cold sweat, and hurriedly issued an order, letting the limited forces in his hands form a thin defensive front, trying to block the impact of these multinational coalition forces, but even he himself did not have much confidence in this matter.

At this time, Ohama was still full of confidence, and in front of his command, the musketeers retreated, and then hundreds of soldiers with weapons similar to those of the musketeers came to the front of the formation, which were much thicker than the muskets, and there was a large pipe in the back, which was connected to a large iron box that the soldiers carried on their backs.

"Huh! Scumbags! Meet the Greek flamethrower invented by my family! ”

In the sneer of Obama, the iron pipes in the hands of the hundreds of soldiers spewed out hot fire dragons, enveloping the multinational coalition forces that happened to rush in front of them!

"Ahh Help me! ”

"Scald me! Evacuate! ”

In the midst of a cry of ghosts and wolves, these multinational coalition forces, which had always been full of fighting spirit in the face of any blow, screamed and retreated. Under the blockade of the hundreds of flamethrowers, their front has completely turned into a raging sea of fire, and in the face of the high-temperature fire that can burn them to char in an instant, these soldiers of the multinational coalition will no longer dare to rush down.

Zhou Cang watched all this from behind, the whole person was completely stunned, he didn't expect that Ao Bama actually had a new weapon that he hadn't taken out, and compared to the musket, the power of such a new weapon seemed to be more powerful, and he didn't see the charge of the more than 500,000 multinational coalition troops now, and he was easily blocked by the hundreds of his own soldiers holding new weapons!

Although the commander of the multinational coalition was not directly burned by the fire dragon that suddenly appeared in front of him, but just the high temperature that emanated from the sea of fire made his eyebrows and mustache tend to rise, you must know that he was still dozens of meters away from the sea of fire! After feeling the terrifying power of this sea of fire from afar, where did the commander dare to continue to rush in this direction with his soldiers, and hurriedly shouted: "Follow me, rush to the left!" Then he took the lead and rushed towards the Neo-Carthaginian army on the left. He thought in his heart: The enemy army in front of us has too many new weapons, and their strength is so strong that we can't afford to provoke them, so we will rush in a different direction, and I don't believe that all armies will have so many new weapons that I have never seen before.

The New Carthaginian army on their left is indeed not new, but they are the most elite army in the entire New Carthage, after all, if they were not elite enough, Shi Jinshui would not have recruited them into the expeditionary force at the beginning. These New Carthaginian soldiers who belonged to the expeditionary corps had a much more reasonable mix of arms than Zhou Cang's hastily pulled out army. As soon as the soldiers of the multinational coalition rushed to a distance of more than 5,000 meters, dozens of artillery pieces roared in unison.

But fortunately, these soldiers of the multinational coalition army have already learned the power of artillery, and although the number of artillery has increased several times at this time, they can still carry it by gritting their teeth.

Braving the bombardment, these soldiers of the multinational coalition, after paying the price of more than a thousand casualties, finally rushed to within two hundred meters in front of the enemy formation, at this distance, the archers were already able to attack the enemy on the opposite side if they used projectiles, but there were archers on their side, and there were naturally archers on the New Carthage side, and there were not only archers, but also heavy crossbowmen.

In terms of quality, whether it is a Cretan archer or a heavy crossbowman, the attack power is much stronger than the good and bad archers of the multinational coalition, and on a one-to-one basis, these guys are no match at all. Thankfully, they are numerically superior. After all, there were only 400,000 horses on Rowan's side, and the number of troops on each road was only a hundred thousand in the case of dividing into three ways to encircle the enemy.

So for a while, relying on the numerical superiority, the archers of the multinational coalition army turned out to be on par with the Cretan archers and heavy crossbowmen under Rowan. Taking advantage of the opportunity of their own archers to contain the firepower of the enemy's crossbowmen, hundreds of thousands of infantry cavalry of the multinational coalition army launched a charge towards the enemy on the opposite side at their fastest speed, hoping to break the enemy's large array with a single impact and open up a way out.

Soon, the fastest hussars rushed a hundred meters in front of the New Carthage formation, and the artillerymen, seeing this, prepared to light the fuse and fire scattered bullets to clear the field. However, he was stopped by Rowan, he looked at the still large number of enemy infantry in the follow-up, frowned, and ordered his subordinates: "Let the crossbowmen step forward, the infantry phalanx stabilizes the line, don't panic, it's just some light cavalry, you can defeat them with a repeater!" ”

Under Rowan's order, tens of thousands of repeaters rushed to the front of the formation with their crossbows, and then pulled the trigger on the enemy light cavalry.

Swish! Swish! Swish! Under the continuous rain of arrows, these light cavalry with low defense were quickly shot off their horses by the crossbowmen as if they were dumplings, relying on the terrible rate of fire, these tens of thousands of crossbowmen actually restrained the charge of the enemy light cavalry.

Of course, these enemy cavalry will also use their cavalry bows to return fire in the process, but unfortunately their feathered arrows will not be able to penetrate the thick steel plate armor of the New Carthaginian soldiers.

After most of the light cavalry was swept away by the crossbowmen, the small number of heavy cavalry in the multinational coalition finally rushed to the front of New Carthage, and the crossbows were a little helpless in the face of these heavily armored enemies. But it doesn't matter, the heavy armor-piercing arrows of the Cretan archers and the steel crossbow arrows of the heavy crossbowmen are specially prepared to deal with these heavy armor targets.

Under Rowan's command, Cretan archers and crossbowmen fired a volley at the most threatening heavy cavalry of the enemy. Only this time made the heavy cavalry of the multinational coalition reimburse more than 5,000 people, and then, because the heavy crossbow is relatively slow to load, it is destined to be unable to participate in the battle, only the Cretan archers, who are still skillful, will pour one heavy arrow after another at the enemy. By the time the heavy cavalry of these multinational coalition forces rushed to twenty meters in front of the main formation, more than half of the 20,000 or so heavy cavalry had been killed or wounded.

The heavy cavalry of the multinational coalition who were lucky enough to rush here thought that they could finally rush into the enemy's formation and reap the enemy's lives wantonly, but as Rowan's loud command fell, tens of thousands of Neo-Carthaginian infantry suddenly pulled out heavy javelins made of steel from their backs in unison, and then threw them out in unison with a shout.

Back then, the Roman legions relied on a heavy javelin to beat one opponent after another, and now the Neo-Carthaginian army, which has completely inherited this unique skill, once again let the soldiers of these multinational coalition forces see the horror of this kind of throwing weapons. When the terrible javelin rain fell, the remaining 10,000 or so heavy cavalry of the multinational coalition army were killed on the spot, and more than 7,000 people were killed on the spot, and the remaining less than 3,000 heavy cavalry were completely frightened, and they all avoided this terrible military formation with a look of panic and spared them from both sides.
