On the ground, the gravel kept jumping under the impact of the two armies running opposite each other and storming the troops.

Heaven and earth seem to be shaking.

The large underground insects and ants in the distance were killed, and they were killed by an invisible murderous aura.

"Commander!"

Behind the Roman array, the deputy general Grant was sturdy, his eyes were like copper bells, as if there was a substantial light shooting out of his eyes, and his momentum was as fierce as a tiger and leopard.

He watched the forces on both sides and reminded: "Let's start, the Han army is rushing so fiercely, you can frustrate their spirit and teach them how to fight with their heads!" ”

Fighting seems to be a battle of courage, but in fact, it is more about wisdom and a contest of minds.

The Romans' charge was a hidden change.

Nissa waved his hand.

Grant shouted: "Blow the battle horn and change the formation!" ”

Woowoo woo –

The muffled sound of battle trumpets sounded in the rear of Rome, and it spread throughout the battlefield.

The Roman soldiers, who seemed to be rushing very fiercely in front of them, suddenly diverged like a tide and fanned out to both sides.

It's like a door, revealing the real hidden killing array behind the door!

The infantry array, a phalanx of giant spears more than two zhang long, slowly pushed forward.

The strength of the Roman legions is that they are flexible enough, multi-class cooperation, can target the opponent, flexibly change formations, and break the enemy to weaken.

The infantry formations exposed by Rome at this time, relying on the tightness of their spears and ranks, were like a wall full of spikes, standing there, able to withstand any impact.

The soldiers and horses that originally rushed forward moved to both sides, protecting the flanks well.

This kind of battle formation is based on the Macedonian phalanx, and the adjustment is made to make up for the weakness of the two wings that are not conducive to steering, and it is more powerful.

The Romans relied on this mixed battle formation, which was once invincible and invincible.

"Throw a spear!"

Whew!

The team that separated from the two wings drew the spear that hung diagonally behind its back and threw it abruptly.

Throwing spears like lightning struck the Han army.

However, the Han army was still rushing forward, and the troops were gathered, and there was a storm in front of them.

Throwing a spear into it, the speed is slow, and the actual damage dealt is very small.

"The Romans have changed formations."

Wei Qing also stood on a chariot in the rear and said indifferently: "Drumming!" ”

The tempo of the drums slowed down, but they became deeper and more powerful.

The soldiers and horses of the Han army rushed forward, like a tide composed of a crowd, and the waves were magnificent when they ran.

When the drums are heard, the centaurs slow down.

But they were still running, their eyes were resolute.

If Wei Qing did not order it to stop, this Han army would use its flesh and blood to ram the spears erected by the opponent's array and fight the enemy to the death.

They slowed down as they ran, and their formation was adjusted to a neat square formation, moving in unison.

"The commander of the Han army is a fool, and if he doesn't change his formation with us at this time, it's too late to change again.

If they just run into it, they will lose a lot. ”

The other lieutenant beside Nissa looked out of the air.

It's a pity that the camp of the Han army is shrouded in a misty atmosphere.

Before the start of the war, the two sides used military tactics such as concealing the sky and crossing the sea, and neither side could see clearly what changes were hidden in each other's array.

In the rear of the array where the Han army rushed forward, in fact, there had already been a corresponding adjustment.

The crossbow array of the Han army marched out in line.

The so-called crossbow array is a heavy crossbow used by soldiers on the battlefield, also known as an armor-piercing crossbow, which must be wound with the help of the strength of the legs.

Since the Spring and Autumn Period, Shenzhou's development in crossbow arrows has been the best in the world.

In the next few hundred years, wars continued, and the crossbow shooting of cold weapons from afar was innovated from generation to generation.

By the time of the Qin and Han dynasties, the crossbow was completed.

The heavy crossbow used on the battlefield can penetrate any light armor at a distance of about 50 zhang.

The crossbow arrows of the Qin and Han dynasties were the kind of arrows with prismatic almost rounded corners, and their lethality was amazing.

The rear column is a full 20,000 elite crossbowmen, accounting for nearly two-fifths of the total strength of the Han army!

As they sat on the ground, one man apart from each other, they stretched their feet forward, and their upper and lower backs were almost lying down, and they stretched out their bowstrings.

The Han army, who was at the front of the queue and was responsible for waving the flag and giving orders, shouted: "Release the arrows!" ”

"Put!"

"Put it again!"

“……”

Woooo

The void was filled with the sharp sound of arrows tearing through the air, and arrows rained down.

The crossbow shooting of the Han army on the battlefield has been tempered through countless battles.

The elevation angle, how far the effective firing distance will be formed, and how much lethality will be caused are all clearly tested by actual combat.

Therefore, when I saw the other party changing formations before, the Han army still ran closer, just to find the best shooting distance.

When the Han army was running in front of the crossbow array, it finally stopped advancing.

The crossbowmen in the rear row can still shoot blindly when they are obscured from view, because the opponent's infantry phalanx, with its fixed position and dense personnel, can shoot as long as it knows the distance.

Ahh

The arrow slashed over the head of the Han army in the front, in a parabola, and fell to kill the opponent.

Screams erupted in the enemy formation.

Behind the Han army was an array of arrows, and they were shooting blindly...... The Roman generals reacted at the same time, and they all felt their scalps tingle.

The rear column was blindly fired, and the Han troops in the front row stood still, allowing the arrows to fly above their heads.

It can be seen how strict the military orders of this Han army are and how brave the troops are.

The Han army at the forefront stood with spears in hand, and the battle formation was unshakable.

Arrows from the rear shoot endlessly.

One breath is a volley of arrows, alternating in rows, keeping the arrows continuous, and the rhythm is stable and unchanged.

The Roman phalanx fell in rows.

The rear generals have changed color.

At this time, if you want to retreat, it is impossible, if you take the risk and retreat, the array is unstable, and the aggressive Han army takes the opportunity to press up, and it is possible to shake the entire Roman legion, and the losses will be heavier.

Nissa shouted: "Set up a shield to block the arrows, and the soldiers and horses on the two wings in the front row will rush into battle!" ”

The Roman tribes, which had just been diverted to the two sides, began to rush forward again, and if they could get close to the Han army, the arrow array would be self-defeating.

At this time, the situation of the enemy and us became that the Han army stood still, and the phalanx was like a mountain.

In the back row are crossbowmen who only shoot arrows.

The Romans' phalanx stopped moving forward and raised their shields against the arrows.

The 10,000-strong troops on both flanks rushed forward in the rain of arrows, and the losses continued to increase, either wounded or killed.

"Order, the two wings are geese, stretch out your arms and fold them, and surround and kill the enemy troops who are approaching in front of the formation."

Wei Qing calmly ordered.

The Han army was personally spearheaded by Zhang Cigong and led the troops to kill.

The soldiers marched out from both sides of the front army, with 5,000 men on one side, enough to swallow the 10,000 Roman troops who rushed up to break the formation.

Later, Nissa began to sweat on his forehead.

If he presses more troops and tries to shake the Han army's camp, he will be more passive when he sends troops.

If you don't send troops, you will watch in vain as the 10,000-strong team of the front army is defeated and eaten away.

The most clever use of troops is to make the opponent fall into the quagmire, advance and retreat, and cannot retreat if he wants to.

The situation changes, life and death.

When Nisa's thoughts turned sharply, Grant, the subordinate general beside him, asked for battle: "Commander, I am willing to personally lead the troops to charge!" Break the Han Army! ”

Nisa said: "Okay, it is not easy to charge the battle at this time, I will have 8,000 heavy cavalry with you, if I can break through the enemy formation, I will let the rear army attack, echo you, and fight to the death with the Han army!" ”

"Order!"

Grant jumped out of his chariot and prepared to take command of the battle.

Nissa said to the whole army again:

"I, Roman warriors, if you lose this battle, your wives and children will become slaves of the Han Chinese. I, Rome, will be occupied and enslaved by these Orientals! ”

"I will live with you on the battlefield, and only by fighting to the death can the enemy save the tide of the war. You will be the warriors of Rome, and I will be proud of you! ”

"Fight to the death, break the enemy!"

The Romans struck their shields over and over again, shouting.

Behind Nissa rose a projection of a deity, Optimus Prime, more than ten feet high, with a golden light all over his body.

That was the Roman god of war.

It gave rise to a sun-like glow that enveloped the Roman army.

The armor of some Roman tribesmen was gilded with a layer of gold, and the attack and defense climbed.

The courage to defy death was inspired.

This is the blessing of Nisa's combat power as a commander, and it is his war authority, which can increase the morale of his subordinates, like madness, and greatly increase their combat power.

When Grant led 8,000 heavy cavalry to rush out of the rear of Rome, Zhang Cigong had already led his troops to outflank him, and he was in close contact with the opponent from the left and right.

Zhang Cigong holds a unilateral halberd with a spear in front and a half-moon-shaped curved blade on the flanks.

At the moment of engagement, Zhang Cigong's halberd sank, swung left and right, swept away the two opponents, and the halberd stabbed forward and pierced through the throat of the third enemy.

When it was recovered, the moon blade on the wing of the euphorbia slashed through the neck of another person.

The third man was killed by a halberd that appeared out of thin air, poured into the front door.

Zhang Cigong is already a general of the four realms of heaven and man, and he is brave in killing.

Three kills in one hit!

Blood splattered.

The huge battlefield, like a meat grinder, is involving more and more people.

The blade cut through the flesh, cut off the bones, and cut off the limbs and arms.

The corpses on the field quickly accumulated.

Zhang Cigong was draped in a blue coat, and led his troops to rush into the enemy formation for more than ten zhang, and he was dyed bloody.

In the Roman queue, Grant led the heavy cavalry and rushed forward with all his might.

Whether he can shake the array of the Han army is related to the success or failure of this battle.

Grant's 8,000 heavy horsemen were all the elite of the Roman people, and they moved like a mountain.

Boom - boom!

The ground trembled as 8,000 heavy horsemen ran.

Their goal was to move from the side to cover the killing, and go straight to the main formation of the Han army.

Since the situation of the front army that has already fought is unfavorable, let's start another game.

Nissa was also very decisive, allowing Grant to directly attack Wei Qing's middle army, so as to avoid being led by Wei Qing by the nose and falling into the quagmire of the front army.

If the front army is unfavorable, it will drag more Han troops into the battle and disrupt the array and offensive of the Han army!

In the rear, more Roman troops rushed out after the heavy cavalry, posing a formidable threat to the Han army.

"The Roman commander has some means, but he will lose."

On the sea from Alexandria to Carthage, Huo Qubing sat on the deck of the ship that he had snatched from the previous consul Leonna, and watched the fire from the other side.

Next to him sat Bai Nanyu, who had moved a small wooden pier over.

A little farther behind him were the generals under his command, Avti and others.

are all watching.

The large army of more than 100,000 people clashed, the Han army was nearly 60,000, and the enemy was more than 80,000.

Everyone watched attentively.

Avti asked in an inquiring tone:

"Commander, I see that the Roman side, although it was unfavorable after the engagement, it immediately adjusted, and charged the battle with heavy horses, wanting to shake the ...... The queue of our army.

In the follow-up, a large number of soldiers and horses pressed up, hoping to rely on superior forces to involve more Han troops and make up for the previous unfavorable war situation.

If they are successful in rushing into battle, it is still possible to free the 10,000 people trapped in the front army, why did the commander judge that he lost? ”

Huo Qu recovered from his illness and said: "He pressed too many things in this formation, and he used too much force, so he hurried out in a hurry, and the rest of the troops followed closely.

And he also urged the ability to press the bottom of the box, bless the troops, and improve the offense and defense. The mentality is chaotic, how to win? ”

"Uncle so far, just relying on the change of the military formation, he has forced the opponent's hole cards one after another."

"The enemy army is already angry, and the victory or defeat is not obvious?"

"Lu Zu's military book Liutao said, taking advantage of the chaos of the enemy, the armored car with light cavalry to strangle it, all can win! Although it is said that it is impossible to memorize the military book, the current situation is applicable, and if you replace the armored chariot with a heavy cavalry to meet the enemy, you can gain the upper hand.

The simpler choice is for my uncle to use a fire bucket of arrows and fire two volleys, and the heavy cavalry array that has covered the killing will be crushed. ”

"Besides, we have an elephant array that can replace the heavy cavalry.

My uncle used military tactics before the war to cover up the changes in our array, and it was obvious that there were many arrangements. ”

Huo Quzhi said calmly: "You might as well guess, which way will my uncle break the enemy?" ”

Zhao Anji was the first to respond to the call: "If I use soldiers, I will first go out of the elephant formation, and then follow the light cavalry to slaughter the remnants of the enemy." ”

Fu Lu raised his eyebrows: "A burst of fire bucket arrows blasted it to pieces, and there was minced meat everywhere." ”

Chen Qingdao: "I also think that I can use fire bucket arrows to break the enemy, and then ride lightly to cover and kill." ”

Huo Quzhi said: "Your focus is limited to the current battlefield. ”

"Uncle has always been sparing soldiers, I guess he will use the fire bucket arrow to break the heavy cavalry first, in order to reduce our consumption, but once the fire bucket arrow is not much ammunition, my uncle has to consider the follow-up siege.

Therefore, the fire bucket arrows must be used very rarely, and if the enemy formation is slightly chaotic, there will be heavy cavalry corresponding to rush out to reduce the consumption of fire bucket arrows.

The two cooperate to match the uncle's temperament! ”

Before Huo Quai's words fell, there were changes on the battlefield.

PS: Some book friends said that the recent chapters are watery and the progress is slow. In fact, it is because in the later stage, there must be a deep entanglement in order to divide the victory and defeat and determine life and death. He can't be like his opponent at the beginning, showing up and slashing him to death easily.

The situation has exploded and has come.

Ask for a ticket, thank you
