Chapter 254: The Romans Who Returned Like Lightning

Ten men were on a rampage in the enemy's ranks, stabbing with bayonets in their hands, killing more than thirty men in less than a minute, and the infantry was brutally pierced by them, and even the archers in the rear were killed by them.

And this group of guys is indeed not the elite of the enemy army, after so many casualties, they were defeated without suspense, and Ouyang Chao and they continued to chase for more than ten minutes regardless of the hot weather, and completely defeated this group of enemies before stopping.

Once completely defeated, it will be difficult for these non-elite enemy soldiers to regroup and pose a threat to them.

And just when Ouyang Chao and the others completely defeated the enemy army and walked back in the direction of the carriage, a sound of horses' hooves suddenly came into their ears again, which made everyone nervous again, and they all picked up their rifles and prepared for battle.

However, they soon found out that it was their own people, because the cavalry led by them was holding the banner of the Blue Dragon Empire high in their hands in order to make it easier to distinguish between friend and foe.

Looking at the dress of these guys, they should also be militiamen, and the militia units actually do not have regular cavalry units, so these guys should be mounted infantry to be exact. Some of the more enterprising militiamen would practice riding on their own in their spare time, so that when the time came, they would be able to maneuver quickly on low-level horses such as pack horses and touring horses.

This time, when the militiamen heard the sound of fighting here, they immediately rode to check the situation.

After arriving at the place, these militiamen found that there were at least seventy or eighty enemy soldiers on the ground, which made them very surprised, after all, Ouyang Chao and they had a total of one team, ten people, there were so many corpses on the ground alone, then the total strength of the enemy army in this attack must be more, and it was really not easy for this ten-person team to be able to defeat this group of enemies by themselves.

In order to find out the specific situation, among this group of militiamen, the first officer with the rank of captain found Ouyang Chao and asked him.

Seeing that this group of guys asked questions as soon as they came up, Zhou Gong gnawed on a cracked watermelon and complained: "I don't know what these guys are doing, they are stationed here every day, but they can't find such a large group of enemy troops, if they are replaced by other people, they are suddenly attacked by so many enemies, I am afraid it will be more than lucky!" ”

In fact, after a period of time, not only the rear will be attacked, but the transport troops of the Blue Dragon Empire in other places will also be attacked at every turn, resulting in officers everywhere having to increase the escort force of the transport team, even if it is the smallest transport team, there is at least one hundred people to escort it.

The reason why the enemy began to change their tactics was because they had found that they could not defeat the army of the Blue Dragon Empire on the frontal battlefield, and the elite troops had lost batch after batch, so they chose to start playing the game and specifically looking for their weak points to attack.

And because the transport team generally has few troops, and most of the people in charge of escorting are militias with weak combat effectiveness, it can be regarded as a target for those enemies to focus on. Under a large number of attacks, they really killed and injured thousands of militiamen.

Later, as the Qinglong Empire increased the escort force of the transport team, such attacks gradually decreased, but this also made it more difficult to supply the front line, after all, now it is basically necessary to accumulate a batch of materials before sending a large number of militia to escort to the front line, unlike before, there are small groups of militia escorting all kinds of materials to the front line in three days.

In order to cope with this increasingly insufficient supply, Huang Zhong and other generals discussed it and decided to turn the whole army to the defensive and begin to shrink the defense, so that the consumption of ammunition could be greatly reduced.

In this way, after more than two months of hard life, Huang Zhong and the others finally waited for a large number of supplies sent from the Blue Dragon Empire.

After the supplies were sufficient, Huang Zhong immediately ordered all troops to launch a fierce attack on the enemy.

Faced with the re-established army of the Blue Dragon Empire, the Crusader forces, which had already suffered heavy casualties, were defeated and retreated, and finally less than a week after the general offensive was launched, the French Empire was the first to be unable to hold on and chose to surrender.

With the surrender of the French Empire, the entire battlefield can be said to collapse instantly, the troops on the side of the Blue Dragon Empire seized the opportunity to chase and fight fiercely against the remaining Crusader troops, and finally after more than a month, the large-scale main force of the enemy army was completely wiped out, leaving only some stragglers with a total strength of less than 1,000 who were still hiding in Tibet and fighting guerrillas with the army of the Blue Dragon Empire.

At this time, the Blue Dragon Empire sent an army of more than 30,000 Romans composed of Romans, and let these Romans from the Roman all-out war world deal with those enemy remnants.

Speaking of which, the Romans were originally the masters of this land, and the other barbarians, when the Roman Empire was prosperous, were just slaves and second-class citizens of the empire, that is, after the decline of the Roman Empire, these barbarians took advantage of the situation to rise and establish new countries in Europe.

Among them, the French Empire used to belong to the Gallic barbarians, the Kingdom of Germany, the Germanic barbarians, the Kingdom of England, and the British barbarians.

In order to let these barbarians better recall those past events, Ye Tianlong also specially created the most famous lobster armor, rectangular shield, short sword and javelin for this Roman heavy infantry unit. Except for the addition of a flintlock rifle, it is basically a copy of the full set of equipment of the Roman legionnaires.

When those Roman soldiers changed into this classic set of skins, the land of Europe suddenly seemed to return to hundreds of years ago, which made those European people can't help but have a sense of time and space confusion.

And for these former barbarian slaves, these Roman soldiers were not polite at all, and the slightest resistance was to draw their swords and cut them, killing them to the fullest, so that those European people quickly became honest, and the guerrillas who wandered in the mountains and forests were also exterminated by the Romans one after another.

For many years to come, these Roman warriors became a nightmare for Europeans, and when children were disobedient and mischievous, adults would scare them and say, "If you are naughty, the Romans will take you away!" ”

Ye Tianlong couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief after learning that the expeditionary force had taken Europe, to be honest, in this era, most of the countries and forces that can fight are in East Asia, followed by Central Asia, and finally Europe. As for the forces in other regions, many of them are still in the Stone Age! Then the combat effectiveness of the army cannot be said to be none! It can only be said that they are basically the five scum of war.

Therefore, in the original history, Yelu Dashi, who was eliminated from the monster room in East Asia, with thousands of remnants of the Liao State, was able to conquer and beat the Central Asian countries all the way west, and finally overthrew the Seljuk Empire, became the new overlord of Central Asia, established the Western Liao Empire, and renewed the life of the Liao State.

Now that the countries and forces on the Eurasian continent that have a little combat power have basically been wiped out by the Blue Dragon Empire, the next global unification war will be much easier.

The most interesting of these are some small countries in East Asia, seeing that the Han people in the Central Plains have returned to the top, and the army has fought all the way to Europe, these small countries have knelt down very decisively in order to survive, and have become vassals of the Qinglong Empire.

Seeing that these guys knelt down before they could fight, many of the soldiers of the Blue Dragon Empire who were gearing up and wanted to continue to make more military achievements were very disappointed. Fortunately, Ye Tianlong comforted them, fighting with humans is not a feat, and then the battle with the demons, it is really time for them to show their skills.

And with the simple surrender of the small countries in this circle around East Asia, the next step for the Blue Dragon Empire to be included in the rule is the three places of Africa, Australia and the Americas. As for the Antarctic and the North Pole, the climate is too harsh, and for the time being, Ye Tianlong has no intention of sending troops to occupy it for a long time.

Africa was quickly cleaned up by Huang Zhong and others, while Australia and the Americas needed to build a large number of sea ships to transport troops and supplies before they could occupy it. Therefore, after the second year of war, the Blue Dragon Empire cultivated for a while, and when the monsoon came in the third year, Ye Tianlong sent dozens of warships and sea ships of various types in the direction of the two continents, preparing to open up a relatively safe route first, and then send troops to occupy these two continents.

Because Li Jun joined the Qinglong Empire relatively late, he has only mixed up with a viscount title and colonel rank until now, and he is naturally not satisfied with this with great self-motivation, so he took over the arduous task of exploring the Australian continent, and set off with thirteen warships and twenty transport and supply ships.

Those battleships are all ironclad ships, but they are also equipped with sails on the hull, so that they can save the battleship fuel when the wind is sufficient, after all, this trip can be said to be unknown when is the end, and the time will definitely not be short, so save a little if you can save a little!

And those transport ships are also large sea ships with iron sheets on their hulls, and some small-caliber guns are also installed on them, which also have a certain combat effectiveness, but more importantly, they are used to transport troops and carry materials, and 5,000 elite soldiers are arranged on these transport ships.

Standing on the bow of a cruiser, Li Jun faced the strong sea breeze, with a high-spirited face, which made him feel that he should have bet right, because he took the initiative to take over this difficult task, so before leaving, his military rank was promoted to commodore general, if he can successfully find out the route to play Australia this time, and successfully return home, his military rank will be promoted to major general, and the title will also be promoted to earl.

In the first few days of the voyage, they were able to encounter a lot of islands along the way, and Li Jun and they were also able to get some supplies on these islands, especially various tropical novelty fruits, so that Li Jun felt that the trip was worth the trip after tasting them.

In addition to fruits, Li Jun and the others also found many natives who had been isolated from the world for an unknown number of years on these islands. With the guidance of these natives, they found a lot of gold, silver, jewelry, and precious spices.

After the first month of harvest, Li Jun's fleet had a hard time discovering any islands along the way, and in the end, only the vast sea was left in front of them, and most of the crew felt very bored and irritated by watching this monotonous scenery for a long time.

In order to make his crew less bored and vent his excess energy, Li Jun decided to hold a wrestling tournament after discussing with a group of officers under him.

For this reason, Li Jun also came up with three valuable prizes, among which the prize for the champion is a black pearl the size of an egg, the prize for the runner-up is a piece of dog's head gold the size of a human head, and the prize for the third place is a natural sapphire crystal the size of a basketball.

Seeing such a noble prize, many crew members were really full of motivation, and in the few days when they signed up for the wrestling tournament, almost all the crew members went to the flagship where Li Jun was located to sign up.

On the day of the official start of the competition, the crew members who signed up for the competition first qualify in different areas of their respective warships and transports.

It's a brutal qualifier, if you lose a game, you'll be eliminated immediately, and if you're unlucky enough to meet a master at the beginning, you'll probably be eliminated in the first round.

Zhang Donggua was very apprehensive when he drew lots, for fear that he would meet a master in the first round, after all, he only had secret cultivation, and the regular soldiers of this strength were not strong, and some of the naval soldiers were not as strong as him, after all, the navy paid more attention to technology and knowledge, so most of the naval soldiers were not low in education, but their cultivation was not very high.

After taking out a note from the box with apprehension, Zhang Donggua took a closer look and found that he had drawn the eighteenth, which meant that he would compete with the contestants who drew the seventeenth.

And coincidentally, soon a person drew the note on the seventeenth, this person Zhang Donggua looked very eye-catching, it should be a person from the navy, as for the strength for a while, I can't see it, but compared to the short and strong Zhang Donggua, this person has completely exploded Zhang Donggua in height, Zhang Donggua's height is only one meter six five, and this person's height looks almost one meter eighty-five, and his height is long, and the muscles on his body look very developed, and he is much stronger than Zhang Donggua in appearance.

Seeing this, the onlookers began to bet on the sailors who drew the seventeenth, after all, just looking at this appearance, this sailor has a better chance of winning than Zhang Donggua! So much so that in the end, there were only a few of his friends in the army who chose to bet on Zhang Donggua to win.
