Chapter 999: "·Struggle between two armies"


The world is what it is: those who are insignificant, those who allow themselves to become insignificant, have no place in this world.
-Naipaul (West Indian writer, travel writer, and social critic)
The Roman heavy infantry used a shield wall composed of a Chinese shield, which stretched from north to south for thousands of kilometers; specific to each legion and each wing, and the Roman heavy infantry that each brigade belonged to was an independent part. An independent small shield wall together constitutes an ultra-long shield wall.
When Ordington and Marcus, who was commanding in the center, nodded at each other, the trumpeters behind them immediately blew the horn representing the counterattack; as soon as the majestic counterattack horn sounded, all the Roman heavy infantry in the double position And at the same time straightened their bodies.
Half of the Roman heavy infantry on the shield wall stood up straight, and the original solid shield defense became vulnerable instantly; but the Lucy soldiers discovered that these Roman heavy infantry standing on the body suddenly took the square shield they held in their left hand. , Turn left.
While these Roman heavy infantry turned their square shields on their left, the right hand slashed the short swords in their hands against the enemy soldiers outside the shield wall; the unprepared Lucy fighters hadn’t responded yet. A large number of casualties.
The Roman heavy infantry who succeeded in one hit, and the Lucy warriors who had suffered heavy losses reacted. They had withdrawn their short swords, turned the square shield back to the right again, and used their bodies to support the side of their left hand. shield.
After the heavy casualties of the Luxi fighters reacted, the shield defense line had returned to its original stability; no matter how hard the violent Luxi fighters hit the chopper, they could not shake the stable defense line.
The Lucy warrior who ate a long line of wisdom, this time when he struck and hacked the square shield, maintained a very high vigilance on the place where the Roman heavy infantry had just been killed; unfortunately, this vigilance in exchange for losses , Did not play any valuable role.
On the fast-changing battlefield, the too fast and fast fighting rhythm is destined for the Lucy warriors not to have too much thinking time; and the Roman heavy infantry who are skilled in the use of shield wall tactics do not need much adjustment time at all. Can launch the next round of counterattack.
Less than half a minute after the double Roman heavy infantry counterattack succeeded, the Roman heavy infantry in the single position launched another counterattack against the enemy; undoubtedly, the Lucy warriors who were alert in the wrong direction were again actively attacked by Rome Heavy infantry hit hard.
After dozens of counterattacks, the Roman heavy infantry relied on the defensive counterattack tactics of the shield wall defense line, and could no longer cause many casualties to the frequently-wounded Lucy fighters; knowing the time is up, Oldington and Marcus ordered The trumpeter sounded the retreat horn.
The Roman heavy infantry wanted to retreat, and the more casualties, the smaller the Lucy fighters, would not let the Roman heavy infantry want to fight, just want to withdraw and withdraw; the Luxi soldiers, like the brown sugar, were entangled. The Roman heavy infantry who withdrew their intentions prevented them from retreating.
Seeing that the retraction of the heavy infantry in Rome was hindered, after a little deliberation between Oldington and Marcus, one-third of the Roman youth army rushed up to reinforce the Roman heavy infantry that was difficult to retreat; Markus remained in place, Is responsible for commanding all remaining troops.
Ten reinforcements of the Roman Youth Army did not help the Roman heavy infantry to retreat; however, the Roman heavy infantry with the new force could join forces with the well-kept Roman Youth Army to contain the enemy's offensive.
Thirty-two teams of Roman heavy infantry and ten teams of Roman youth, the combined strength of the two armies is nearly 7,000; even if the Roman heavy infantry has already suffered some casualties, there are more than 6,500 soldiers added to the two troops to contain The enemy offensive is more than enough.
You know, when the Roman heavy infantry used the shield wall tactics to fight against the enemy, the longbowmen protected by the cover troops, their arrow rain attack never stopped; the longbowmen who have used up a quiver They effectively killed a large number of enemy soldiers.
It has been less than an hour since the roar of the Roman army and the army of Lucy sounded the war horn; in just one hour, the number of Chinese soldiers in Veliasius has been raised by 53,000 Yu Zhong will reach less than 30,000 right now.
Nearly 25,000 soldiers were killed in an hour, and the number of killing enemies did not exceed 500; the Roman army used its own powerful combat power to once again give Virias a vivid war practice class, let him understand the Roman army Not only is the cavalry powerful, but the infantry is also powerful!
Watching the soldiers under his watch, the waves of battlefields of death, and the unsightly look of Viriasius; after the two armies formally entered the melee combat stage, they immediately sent their guards to the two wings to deploy their troops to support themselves. Chinese Army.
Although Roderick and Hall have 40,000 soldiers each, their main task is to guard against the extremely powerful super cavalry of the enemy; therefore, Veriasius did not draw too many soldiers from their troops, but only each Fifteen thousand soldiers were transferred under his command.
Use 40,000 soldiers to guard against enemy cavalry and 25,000 soldiers to guard against enemy cavalry. The difference between the two is certainly there, but it will not make a fundamental difference; but 30,000 soldiers against the Chinese army The meaning is completely different.
In the view of Veriasius, the Chinese army, whose total strength has fallen to less than 30,000, will definitely form an absolute advantage over the enemy once it is joined by the 30,000-strong army; The main force of the enemy's Chinese army!
As for the more than 13,000 cavalry who have been cruising around the battlefield and have not participated in the battle, there are already 50,000 soldiers distributed on the two wings of the Chinese army, and they decided that the key to winning this battle is all The main force of his own army.
It is easy to see that Luquith, the intention of Veriasius' layout, did not interfere with the command and operation of Oldington and Marcus from the beginning, nor did he use other forces in his hands to destroy Veria. The layout of Hughes.
As of now, in addition to investing in the two Roman legions of the Fifth and Sixth Legions, as well as the two long-armed affiliates of the other two Roman legions, Lucius has not invested other troops under his command to intervene in this scale. fighting.
Yes, in the eyes of Veriasius, the decisive battle between his life and death, in the eyes of Lucius, it is just a battle of no small scale; because in the hands of Lucius, there are many more An unimaginable army came to intervene in this battle.
This morning, I just changed the defense of the Third Army and the Fourth Army in the Eastern Union's descending camp. Neither of the main forces of the two Roman legions have participated in the battle; more importantly, the newly returned 70,000 Eastern Alliance soldiers are also Lu Kui. Si can use the power at any time.
The leaders of the Eastern League who have lost control of their soldiers have already been controlled by the Luques. In addition, with the settlement of the Eastern Union people who were previously captured, Luquiz is fully confident that he can save 70,000 The Eastern Conference puts the soldiers back to their own use.
