Chapter 451: Overseer

These Roman soldiers, the source of their combat effectiveness, is not because, they can, fight, but because.

They had to maintain their courage so that they were able to engage the enemy.

At the moment, there are many reasons why they are so brave and so fearless of death.

One is because today's battle is not just a battle.

This battle is about the survival of the Roman Empire.

If they lose this war, it means that Rome will no longer exist in this world.

And everything about the Qin State, they don't know, let alone know that the Qin State is so disposing of them as the vanquished.

In such a situation, in the face of the attack of the Qin army, they must be vigilant, they must show the last courage and try their best to fight, otherwise, the consequences will be unimaginable.

The second reason is the second reason, and this reason, if nothing else, is to ensure that the army has a strong enough will to fight.

The consuls of the Roman Empire made a cruel decision.

On the battlefield, there were more than 360,000 people in total, densely packed troops, and these armies, at this time, were facing only tens of thousands of enemies.

That is, they are several times more than the enemy.

As a result, the vast majority of the soldiers among them could only stay in the back, sit back and watch the soldiers in front, and engage the enemy, because the number of soldiers in the Qin army made the width of the battlefield not too wide.

In such a situation.

The Archon made a fairly sensible and useful decision.

He directly ordered all the soldiers under his command to be escorted to the battlefield in a row to die.

On the battlefield.

In the front row is an army composed of slaves, which occupies about one-third of the entire Roman Empire army, with a total of more than 100,000 people, and their role is cannon fodder.

They are on the battlefield, acting as cannon fodder.

At this time, they were in the front row, armed with rudimentary weapons.

Take the shield that is simple to make to protect against enemy bullets, and wait for the engagement to begin.

Behind them, there are rows and rows of soldiers, and the equipment of these soldiers is also similar, but there is one thing that is more special, that is, the soldiers in the back row, the swords they are holding, and the spears they are holding are all aimed at the back of the soldiers in front.

According to the orders of the consuls, their soldiers will be close and unretreating.

If the soldier in front dares to retreat, or in other words, dare to stop, then the soldier behind him has the right to kill the soldier in front of him with a direct swing of a knife or a spear.

In this way, one layer is pressed against the other.

In an army with a thickness of about seven or eight layers, all the soldiers are like this.

At this time, the consuls and generals of the Roman Empire personally led 20,000 men, the most elite soldiers, to act as the last overseers.

In such a situation.

One layer pressed the next.

I am not afraid that the people in front will dare not go into battle to kill the enemy.

Don't be afraid, the enemy in front dares to retreat.

It has to be said that under such tactics.

On the battlefield, the Roman army of more than 300,000 did not dare to slack off in the slightest, and they could only rush towards the enemy without fear of death.

For a while, the crowd rushed straight to their side.

However, in the face of this scene, facing the spectacular scene presented on the battlefield, Ying Changsheng's face was calm.

Well, he doesn't care about any of that at all.

He is not afraid of the enemy in front of him.

In Win Changsheng's opinion, the enemy in front of him is simply impossible, not the opponent of his army, in such a situation, he can easily defeat the enemy in front of him completely.

You don't have to worry about anything else.

At this time, looking at the enemy army in front of him, Ying Changsheng calmly gave an order, commanded the soldiers under his command, and opened his mouth to say.

"All soldiers, respond calmly, gunners fire!"

"No!"

For a while, there was a sudden shout of soldiers in the air, and then inside the army, the cannons that were pushed out one after another opened fire one after another.

These lightweight guns cast in bronze fired cannonballs at a very fast speed, and after the cannonballs were fired, they rammed into the opposite side, and every one of them in the crowd of people hit accurately.

This is that the artillerymen of the Great Qin Empire are highly skilled, and they are after their skills in using cannons.

Second.

That's why.

These soldiers of the Great Qin Empire, the enemies they are facing are too many.

You know, in front of them right now, there are hundreds of thousands of enemies.

With such a dense enemy and such a dense crowd, it can be said that the cannon does not need to be aimed at all, and the shells in the cannon can be directly shot out, and a large number of kills can be easily completed.

For a while, with the voice of Win Changsheng, the moment it fell.

The scorching shells from the cannon quickly fell into the enemy one after another, looking at his side, the falling shells, each solid shell was fired, at least taking away several lives.

If you touch it, if you get into it, it's extremely serious.

Because of these solid shells, don't look at his size, don't look at his flight speed is not too fast, it doesn't seem to be anything.

However, as long as he is touched, the powerful power potential energy it carries is enough to turn a normal person into a crippled person, enough to make a person completely die.

Especially.

The army of the Roman Empire had never been exposed to the power of artillery, a powerful god of war.

Well, the army they fought against before, although it was also the army of the Great Qin Empire. 、

However, those armies were just cavalry sent out by Win Changsheng to plunder Rome.

As for the cavalry, the convenience of movement also makes them not able to carry too many heavy weapons.

As a result, they did not carry cannons, which were a weapon to kill the enemy.

And this has led to an extremely serious consequence.

This consequence is nothing else.

That is, they have never seen a cannon at all.

I didn't realize that the cannon is a powerful weapon, and the lethal effect it can bring.

For a moment, as the cannonballs fell into their army one by one, the consuls regretted it to the extreme.

Because, if you had known the enemy, you would have had a weapon with such a long range as a cannon.

Then, he shouldn't have let his Roman soldiers line up neatly and launch an attack.

Rather, it should be dispersed into loose skirmishers.

In this way, the main forces of the enemy can be avoided to the greatest extent.
