Chapter 998: "·Javelin defeats the enemy"

When a person begins to amuse his career, it is difficult to know whether he is laughing or crying.
-Naipaul (West Indian writer, travel writer, and social critic)
The twelve longbow wings of the Longbow Wings, which were placed on the left and right wings of the rectangular battle array of the Roman legion, used their cold Huai longbows to shoot the arrows in the quiver, one by one. Arrows shot at the enemy soldiers in light outfit.
The Lucy warriors who were constantly robed and fell to the ground, still holding their long swords and tomahawks in their hands, shouted to charge forward; this is the barbarian warriors, no matter where they belong to, they are so brave and fearless, so Sturdy and powerful!
Four hundred meters, three hundred meters, two hundred and fifty meters, two hundred meters... Seeing about 40,000 enemy soldiers, they will rush into the battle of their own army; the original Chinese soldiers , Two small-scale cover troops were instantly separated from the flanks.
These two units, each consisting of five Roman youth teams and five Roman heavy infantry, moved quickly from the edge of the Chinese army to the front of the long archers, forming a shield wall with a square shield in their hands, and serving as the long archers behind them. They cast a strong line of defense.
At the same time, the first team of Roman light infantry in the front of the Chinese army trot forward a few steps, and then raised their javelins in their hands; this wooden iron-pointed javelin is comparable in terms of lethality. The arrows shot by the long archers are more than a star and a half!
As pure javelins, the three javelins carried by the Roman light infantry were their main weapons to kill the enemy; although they were also equipped with short daggers and bucklers for guards, their own combat skills Not superb.
Perhaps, compared with the ordinary soldiers of the Dragon Dragon Empire who are also not high in combat skills, the Roman light infantry who are not good at melee combat can barely be elite; but compared with the fierce and unusual and powerful barbarian warriors, the Roman light infantry is not enough to look at Too.
In order to avoid contact with the enemy soldiers, Lucius gave his lieutenant and Marcus an order to let the Roman light infantry throw only two rounds of javelin; after the two rounds of javelin throwing ended, there was one Roman javelin left in the hand , You must immediately withdraw to the rear of the Chinese army.
In lieu of the command of the Fifth Roman Legion, Aldington and the Chief of the Sixth Roman Legion, Marcus, when he gave orders to the various warriors under his command, he naturally added the request of Lu Quez to them. among them.
Especially the Fifth Legion’s lieutenant general Oldington, who was the captain and lieutenant general of the Fifth Legion’s First Wing, and now also serves as the interim commander of the Fifth Legion; The attitude of executing orders is even more meticulous.
When the enemy soldiers rushed to a distance of only 150 meters from the Chinese battlefield, the Roman light infantry who were ready to throw were arranged in an extremely dense formation, throwing out the first in their hands. Javelin!
Thirty-two roman light infantry of eight wing groups and thirty-two brigades of the two legions, more than 5,000 javelins thrown at one time, accompanied by more than 20,000 arrows on the wings, like a storm The waves were rough, flying towards the swarm of soldiers the enemy was charging.
In the face of the heavy javelin that roared, the Lucy warriors involuntarily showed horror on their faces, subconsciously raised the shield in their hands, trying to use this meaningless behavior to resist the flying. Like a javelin in the rain!
Unlike the arrows shot by the long archers, no matter how sharp the arrows, it is impossible to shoot through the round shield made of heavy wooden boards; the Lucy warriors who were shot by the long archers are mostly because of their hands. The round shield didn't stop the dense arrow rain coming from the sky.
Now the arrow rain becomes a javelin rain. How can the sharp javelin be comparable to the arrow? The Lucy fighters rushing to the front, their round shields held high, covered by javelin rain, are nothing more than the end of the shield crushing people.
The Lucy fighters who charged the front, like the wheat in the farmland, were harvested like a sickle by the Roman light infantry, and the Lucy fighters who followed immediately rushed forward to greet them. It is the javelin of the Roman light infantry again.
After the two rounds of javelins were thrown, the Roman Light Infantrymen immediately pulled up their third javelin, and followed the passage given by the Roman Youth Army and the Roman Heavy Infantry behind them. go with.
The results of several rounds of salvos by 24,000 longbowmen were the shooting and wounding of seven or eight thousand Lucy soldiers; while the two rounds of javelins thrown by more than five thousand Roman light infantry, the number of enemy troops shot alone was as high as four Thousands, the killing gap between these two attack methods is immediately apparent!
The real melee fight has not yet begun, and more than 50,000 Lucy warriors have less than 40,000 left; Veriasius and his Lusi Chinese soldiers with up to a quarter of casualties have their inner hearts. It's self-evident to hold back.
Seeing that the enemy soldiers were about to rush into the rectangular battle array of the Roman army, the young Roman soldiers who were ready to wait were not eager to withdraw their short swords from their waists, but took out the two javelins behind them. Come, hold it high in the hands like a Roman light infantry.
Seeing such a familiar scene, the charge in the front of the Lucy warrior had already shown a look of despair; this pose of the young Roman army was almost the same for the Lucy warrior who had been hit twice. A prelude to the coming of death!
Sure enough, the next second he showed a desperate look to the Lucy warriors, the Roman youths who held up their javelins and threw the javelins in their hands; the charge fighters of the Lucy Chinese army suffered another devastating blow. .
Due to the shortening of the distance and the dense formation, the number of Lucy soldiers who died under the javelin of the Roman Youth Army this time was more than the previous two; the tragic death of nearly three thousand Lucian soldiers has already made Lucy the fearless. Warrior, shuddered.
After throwing a round of javelins, the Roman youths who did not use the javelin as their main weapon had no time to pull out their short swords, and hurriedly withdrew behind the Roman heavy infantry; after the Roman youths successfully withdrew, the Roman heavy infantry We immediately placed square shields to list the shield walls.
The Lucy warriors blocked by the shield wall of the heavy infantry of Rome, while using their respective dialects, cursed the Roman light infantry and the Roman youth army hiding in the shield wall, while using their long swords and battle axes to split Cut the square shields of the Roman heavy infantry.
The Roman heavy infantry who supported the left-handed square shield with their full strength, and the right hand was holding their short swords; the shield wall built with countless square shields has never been a simple defensive formation, and the defensive counterattack is the shield wall tactics. The core!
The violent impact and hacking of the enemy soldiers could not shake the invincible shield wall defense; the Roman heavy infantry who waited patiently for the opportunity, after quietly enduring for about three minutes, they began to feel that the enemy’s sharpness had been vented. A fierce counterattack!
