On the border of the Eastern Roman Empire, on the left flank were four infantry archer brigades.

The right wing is the traditional elite of the Eastern Roman Empire that has lasted for hundreds of years, once ruled the history of heavy cavalry, and even the disciplined iron army with men and horses and heavy armor - 6,000 ironclad saints.

On the front, it is the main force of the Eastern Roman Empire, and it is also the strongest combat force formed by Alexei who transferred all the troops of the entire Eastern Roman Empire - an army of 300,000 people.

However, even if Alexei mobilized all the troops that could be drawn from the whole country, there was still a natural gap compared to the 500,000 Song army.

In particular, on both sides there are 500,000 modern firearms units on the one side, and cavalry infantry of the Cold Weapon era with only 300,000 men on the other.

500,000 Song troops lined up in battle formations, and a sense of iron and blood permeated the entire battlefield, confronting the 300,000 Roman army from afar.

On both sides, no one took the initiative to attack, and the scene was a slaughter.

"Alexey, don't you have an army of magicians in the Roman Empire? Why don't you take out your last hole card and let me see which is better than the worse when technology versus magic, when guns versus elemental attacks! ”

Before the battle, the little emperor rode on horseback and looked at Emperor Alexei thousands of kilometers away.

His voice was not loud, but it spread far away from this vast battlefield, reaching Alexel's ears thousands of miles away, as if it was ringing in his ears.

Listening to the little emperor's words, Alexey's face was gloomy and cold.

If he was able to form an army of magicians in the Roman Empire, how could it have decayed to the current situation?

As early as hundreds of years ago, a large number of magicians mysteriously disappeared, leaving only some low-level magicians behind, and at the same time, there were many advanced magical inheritances.

This led directly to the decline of the occult science of magic in the Roman Empire.

Today, the profession of magician has almost disappeared from the world.

"Zhao Xu, when I wrote to invite your father to come to my Roman Empire, your father was afraid to move forward.

Now, as the son of a shrunken turtle, you dare to bring troops to my Roman Empire.

Little one, I will give you a chance to kiss my shoes! ”

In the midst of the ancient Roman Empire, in those days when the Roman Empire was powerful and sacred, ruling all of Europe.

The country is vested in the emperor, and the imperial power is supreme.

The important ministers of the state can kiss the emperor's right chest, and some important foreign envoys are qualified to kiss the emperor's shoes.

Alexey's words are tantamount to a humiliation for the little emperor.

However, the little emperor did not have the slightest irritation.

"Oh? Seemingly...... The legion of magicians of the Roman Empire has also been reduced to a legend! ”

Having said this, the little emperor had no interest in continuing to talk.

He led an army of 500,000 all the way to the west, firstly to expand his territory, secondly, to plunder points, and thirdly, to see what the result of the modern army against the mage legion would be.

It's a pity that now that the Wizard Legion has become history, the only thing left is the first two fun.

"Attack!"

Although it was a pity not to see the magician, but thinking of being able to conquer an empire again, the little emperor still gave an order with some excitement.

The little emperor gave an order, and the army maintained an offensive formation, wanting the Eastern Roman Empire to suppress the border.

And seeing the Song army attacking, Alexei also gave the order to charge.

The archers on the left flank bent their bows and arrows and shot arrows at the Song army to cover their allies.

On the right flank, the 6,000 ironclad paladin legion launched a charge, bound to give full play to the advantage of the heavy cavalry, intending to disperse the Song Dynasty army in one fell swoop.

In the face of the ironclad heavy cavalry, whose soldiers and horses were all covered with iron frames, the Song army's weapons were defeated for the first time.

Relying on the protection of heavy armor, ordinary bullets dared not penetrate the armor of these cavalrymen.

And the value of armor-piercing shells is too high, because they have not been encountered before, so they are not prepared too much, not enough to destroy this cavalry unit.

Under the fire of the Song army, the ironclad heavy cavalry charged, while leaving more than a thousand corpses, took the lives of more than 1,000 Song soldiers, and then relied on the protection of almost turtle shells to break out of the encirclement.

Seeing that a charge was quite evenly matched, Alexei seemed to see hope.

While ordering the cavalry to charge again, he also ordered an army of 300,000 to attack and rush to the front to fight the Song army.

It's just that he was caught off guard by the defense of the ironclad heavy cavalry just now, and he suffered a loss, how could the little emperor suffer a second loss?

Therefore, before the cavalry launched a second charge, the little emperor glanced contemptuously at the heavy cavalry that accelerated the charge.

"Second Battalion Commander...... Phew, Deputy Commander, bring my Italian cannons! ”

With the order of the little emperor, the Italian cannon, which had long been ready to follow behind the army and was ready to let the possible magician legion enjoy the baptism of cannonball, was pulled to the front of the formation.

"Did you see that group of cavalry? Six cannons fired in a row, striking at points, and blowing up the shells of those turtles for me! ”

Pointing to the charging cavalry, the little emperor said to the young soldiers who were at the control of the Italian cannon.

"No!"

Hearing this, six of the twelve gunners agreed in unison.

And then......

"Bang~Bang~Bang~"

After six cannon shots in succession, a cloud of gunpowder engulfed and drowned the nearly 5,000 heavy cavalry that were charging.

The smoke cleared, and only a few of the 5,000 heavy cavalry who charged were left with missing arms and legs still fell to the ground and groaned.

The others, on the other hand, had been reduced to a piece of stump and flesh, scattered in the dirt.

The sudden change brought the charging Roman army to an abrupt halt.

Anyone, facing an attack that can instantly wipe out the bones of five thousand heavily armored cavalry, will lose the courage to charge forward.

Don't say it's the charging infantry and light cavalry.

Even Alexei himself, after seeing that his five thousand heavy cavalry were wiped out in an instant, and he didn't even leave a single corpse, he couldn't help but panic.

In fact, not only the Roman army, but even the nearly 500,000 troops of the Great Song Dynasty themselves were frightened by the power of this Italian cannon.

It turned out that the guy called the Italian cannon, which they had been pulling but had never used, was so terrifying.

This kind of power, not to mention in the plain war, if it is used in siege warfare, what kind of city gate can block the power of this cannon?

What's more, such a cannon, they have twelve.

yes, such guys, they have twelve.

Alexey also thought of this question.

It's just that the six gates are so terrifying, if the twelve gates are spread out and the plane attack, how many rounds of sweeps will his 300,000 army be enough?

Moreover, the other side not only has a cannon, but also a kind of equally terrifying weapon called a gun, one or even two for each person.

So......

"Surrender! Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, we surrender! Surrender without killing, we demand preferential treatment of the captives! ”

In an instant, Alexei made the wisest choice, but alas...... This wise choice was made a little late!

So......

"I'm sorry, I don't accept it!"

Looking at the thousands of cold corpses placed at the back of his camp, the little emperor's voice was cold.

This battle was the biggest loss since he led his troops into battle, so he was not prepared to accept any form of surrender.

For foreigners, there is only massacre and assimilation, and after grabbing so much territory at one time, there are too many foreigners he needs to assimilate, not inferior to the Roman army.

So, his choice was.....

"The whole army will attack, and no one will be left!"
