Chapter 623: The Wall of the Great Han, Definite Victory [Ask for votes]

On the ground, the gravel kept jumping under the impact of the two armies running against each other and storming against each other like a storm.

The world seemed to be shaking.

The large underground insect ant a little further away died, being struck to death by an invisible murderous aura.

"Commander!"

Behind the Roman array, Lieutenant General Grant was tall and strong, with eyes like copper bells, as if there were substantial rays of light shooting out of his eyes, and his aura was as fierce as a tiger or leopard.

He looked at the military strength of both sides and reminded: "Let's get started. The Han army is charging so fiercely, just to dampen their energy and teach them how to fight with their heads!"

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

There were hidden changes in the Roman charge.

Nisa waved her hand.

Grant shouted: "Blow the war horn and change the formation!"

woohoo-

A low sound of war trumpets sounded from the Roman rear line and spread across the battlefield.

The Roman soldiers in front, who seemed to be charging very fiercely, suddenly split up like a tide and fanned out to both sides.

Like a door, the real killing array hidden behind the door is revealed!
The infantry array, a phalanx of giant spears more than two feet long, slowly advanced.

The advantage of the Roman legions was that they were flexible enough to coordinate with multiple arms, and could flexibly change their formations to target their opponents and weaken them.

At this time, the Roman infantry array exposed, relying on the tightness of the spears and queues, was like a wall full of spikes, standing there and able to withstand any impact.

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

This battle formation is based on the Macedonian phalanx, with adjustments made to make up for the weaknesses of the two wings that are not conducive to turning, and is more powerful.

The Romans relied on this mixed battle formation and were once invincible and arrogant.

"Spear throw!"

Swish-swish!
The teams separated on the two wings, pulled out the throwing spear hanging diagonally from behind, and threw it suddenly.

The spears were thrown at the Han army like lightning.

However, the Han army is still charging forward, and the troops are gathering together, as if there is a storm in front of them.

When a spear is thrown into it, the speed slows down and the actual damage caused is very small.

"The Romans have changed sides."

Wei Qing also stood on a chariot at the rear and said calmly: "Drumming!"

The rhythm of the war drum slowed down, but became deeper and more powerful.

The soldiers and horses of the Han army rushing forward were like a great tide composed of people, making magnificent waves as they ran.

When the drums were heard, the horses and men slowed down.

But they are still running, their eyes determined.

If Wei Qing did not give the order to stop, this Han army would use their flesh and blood to hit the spears raised by the opponent's array and fight to the death with the enemy.

They slowed down as they ran, adjusted their formation into a neat square formation, and moved forward together.

"The commander-in-chief of the Han army is a fool. If he doesn't change the formation with us now, it will be too late if he wants to change again.

If they collided like this, they would suffer heavy losses. "

The other deputy next to Nesa looked at him from a distance.

Unfortunately, the Han army's camp was shrouded in a mist-like atmosphere.

Before the war started, the two sides used tactics such as concealing the enemy from the enemy. Neither could see clearly what changes were hidden in the other's array.

Behind the advancing formation of the Han army, corresponding adjustments had already occurred.

The crossbow array of the Han army came out in formation.

The so-called crossbow formation refers to the heavy crossbow used by soldiers on the battlefield, also known as the armor-piercing crossbow. It needs to be pedaled with the feet and powered by the power of the legs.

Since the Spring and Autumn Period, China's development in crossbows has ranked first in the world.

In the following hundreds of years, wars continued, and crossbows, cold weapons for long-distance warfare, were innovated from generation to generation.

By the time of the Qin and Han Dynasties, crossbow weapons were completed.

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

The crossbow arrows of the Qin and Han dynasties were prismatic and almost rounded arrowheads, with astonishing lethality.

There are [-] elite crossbowmen in the rear, accounting for nearly two-fifths of the total strength of the Han army!
When they sat on the ground, they lined up one person apart from each other, with their feet stretched forward, their upper body and back almost lying down, and their bow strings stretched out.

The Han army at the front of the queue, who was responsible for waving flags and passing orders, shouted: "Fire the arrows!"

"put!"

"Let it go!"

"..."

Shhhhhhh!
The void was filled with the sharp sound of arrows tearing the air, and arrows rained down like rain.

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

What is the elevation angle, how far the effective shooting range will be, and how much damage will be caused, all have been clearly tested through actual combat.

Therefore, when they saw the opponent change their formation before, the Han army still ran closer in order to find the best shooting distance.

The Han army running in front of the crossbow formation finally stopped advancing.

The rear crossbowmen can still fire blindly when their sight is blocked, because the opponent's infantry square formation has a fixed position and dense personnel. As long as they know the distance, they can attack and fire.

what--

The arrow passed over the heads of the front line of Han soldiers, formed a parabola, and fell to kill the opponent.

Screams were heard everywhere in the enemy formation.

There was an arrow array at the rear of the Han army, and they were shooting blindly... The Roman generals all reacted at the same time, feeling numb in their scalps.

The rear ranks fired blindly, while the Han troops in the front ranks remained motionless, letting arrows fly over their heads.

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

The Han troops in the front line stood with spears in hand, and the battle formation was stable and unshakable.

The arrows from behind were shot endlessly.

Each breath is a volley of arrows, alternating rows, keeping the arrows flowing and the rhythm steady and unchanging.

The Roman phalanx fell in rows.

The expressions of all the generals in the rear changed.

It is impossible to retreat at this time. If you retreat boldly, the array will be unstable, and the aggressive Han army will take the opportunity to press forward, shaking the entire Roman legion, and the losses will be even heavier.

Nisa shouted: "Put up your shields to block the arrows, and the soldiers and horses in the front and two wings, charge into the formation!"

The Roman tribesmen who had just been divided to both sides began to charge forward again. If they could get close enough to attack the Han army, the arrow array would be destroyed without any attack.

At this time, the situation between the enemy and ourselves became that the Han army was stationary and the phalanx was like a mountain.

The back row is composed of crossbowmen who only shoot arrows.

The Roman phalanx stopped moving forward and raised their shields to block the arrows.

Thousands of troops on both wings rushed forward despite the rain of arrows, and their losses continued to increase, with some being injured or dead.

"Send the order, with two wings as wild geese, stretch out your arms and close them, and surround and kill the approaching enemy troops in front of the formation." Wei Qing calmly ordered.

Zhang Cigong personally served as the vanguard of the Han army and led the troops to fight out.

The soldiers marched out from both sides of the front army. There were 5000 men on one side, enough to swallow up the tens of thousands of Roman troops who rushed up to break the formation.

After the battle, Nisa began to sweat on her forehead.

If he pressed more troops to try to shake the Han army's camp, he would be even more passive in sending troops passively.

If we don't send troops, we will see the former army of ten thousand people defeated and cannibalized.

The most brilliant use of troops is to make the opponent trapped in the quagmire, unable to advance or retreat, and unable to retreat even if he wants to.

The situation changes, life and death depend on it.

When Nisa's thoughts suddenly changed, Grant, the general beside him, asked for a fight: "Commander, I am willing to personally lead the troops into battle! Defeat the Han army!"

Nisa said: "Okay, it's not easy to rush into the formation at this time. I will ride with you eight thousand times. If I can defeat the enemy's formation, I will send the rear army to attack, respond to you, and fight to the death with the Han army!"

"Order!"

Grant jumped out of his chariot and prepared to lead his troops into battle.

Nisa shouted to the whole army again:
"We, the warriors of Rome, if we lose this battle, your wives and children will become slaves of the Han people. I, Rome, will be occupied and enslaved by these Easterners!"

"I will live with you on the battlefield, and only fighting to the death to defeat the enemy can save the situation. You will become warriors of Rome, and I will be proud of you!"

"Fight to the death and defeat the enemy!"

The Roman tribesmen beat their shields over and over again and shouted.

Behind Nisa rose a projection of a god, Optimus Prime, which was more than ten feet high and covered with golden light.

That was the Roman god of war.

It sent out a sun-like ray that enveloped the Roman army.

The armor of some Roman tribesmen was plated with a layer of gold, improving their offensive and defensive capabilities.

The courage to fear death was inspired.

This is the blessing of Nisa's combat power as the commander-in-chief, his war authority, which can increase the morale of his troops, like going crazy, and greatly increase their combat power.

When Grant led [-] heavy cavalry and rushed out from the Roman rear, Zhang Cigong had already led his troops to outflank him, engaging his opponents from the left and right in close combat.

Zhang Cigong holds a single-sided halberd with a spear tip in front and a half-moon-shaped arc blade on the side.

At the moment of the battle, Zhang Cigong sank his halberd, swung it left and right, and swept away the two opponents. The halberd thrust forward and penetrated the throat of the No. 3 enemy.

When it was retrieved, the moon blades on the flanks of the euphorbia swiped across the other person's neck.

The third person was killed by a spear that appeared out of thin air and penetrated his face.

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

One hit, three kills!

Blood splashes.

The huge battlefield is like a meat grinder, drawing more and more people into it.

The sword cut through the flesh, chopped off the bones, and left limbs and arms broken.

Bodies piled up quickly on the field.

Zhang Cigong wore a large blue cloak and led his troops into the enemy's formation for more than ten feet, which was stained with blood.

In the Roman formation, Grant led his heavy cavalry and charged forward with all his might.

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

Grant's eight thousand heavy cavalry were all the elite of the Roman tribe, and they moved like a mountain.

Boom—boom!
The ground vibrated intensified due to the running of eight thousand heavy cavalry.

Their goal was to move from the side to cover up the enemy and go straight to the main line of the Han army.

Since the situation of the former army that has already been fought is unfavorable, let's start another round.

Nisa was also very decisive and asked Grant to attack Wei Qing's central army directly to avoid being led by Wei Qing and falling into the quagmire of the front army.

If the front army is disadvantageous, more Han troops will be dragged into the battle and disrupt the Han army's array and offensive!
From the rear, more Roman tribesmen rushed out after the heavy cavalry, posing a powerful threat to the Han army.

"This Roman commander does have some tricks, but he will definitely lose."

On the sea advancing from Alexandria to Carthage, Huo Qubing sat on the deck of the ship he had snatched from the previous consul Leon. He watched the fire from the other side and combined his magical powers with his own practice to create a picture of heaven and earth projected in the void. Watch the battle from a distance.

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

A little further behind are his generals, Afti and others.

They are all watching the battle.

A large army of more than 10 people clashed. The Han army was nearly [-] and the enemy was more than [-].

Everyone watched with rapt attention.

Avti asked in a asking tone:
"Commander, I think Rome, although it was unfavorable after the engagement, immediately adjusted and charged into the formation with heavy cavalry, hoping to shake... our army's formation.

Later, a large number of soldiers and horses came forward, hoping to rely on their superior strength to involve more Han troops and make up for the previous unfavorable battle situation.

If their charge was effective, they might be able to free the trapped [-]-man troops from the front army. Why did the commander-in-chief judge that he was destined to lose? "

Huo Qubing finally calmed down and said: "He had too many things to press on at this time, and he used too much force. The heavy horse rushed out in a hurry, and the rest of his troops followed closely.

Moreover, he also activated his ability to press the bottom of the box, strengthen his troops, and improve his offense and defense.My mentality is messed up, how can I win? "

"Uncle, so far, just by relying on changes in military formation, he has forced his opponents to reveal their trump cards."

"The enemy's spirit is already agitated. Isn't the victory or defeat still unclear?"

"The Six Tao in the Book of War left by Lu Zu states that when the enemy is in confusion, the armored chariot and the light cavalry are used to strangle them, and they can win! Although you cannot memorize the military book, it is applicable to the current situation. What Lu Zu said is to replace the armored chariot with heavy cavalry to meet the enemy. , you can gain the upper hand.

The simpler option is for my uncle to use fire barrel arrows and fire two volleys, which will crush the heavy cavalry formation that is covering them up. "

"Besides, we still have the elephant formation that can replace the heavy cavalry.

My uncle had used military strategies before the war to cover up the changes in our formation. It was obvious that he had many arrangements in place. "

Huo Qubing said calmly: "You might as well guess what method my uncle will use to defeat the enemy?"

Zhao Anji first responded to the call: "If I use troops, I will first go out of the elephant formation, and then follow the light cavalry to slaughter the enemy's remaining soldiers."

Fu Luzhi raised his eyebrows: "A burst of fire barrel arrows smashed it to pieces, leaving pieces of meat everywhere."

Chen Qingdao: "I also think that we should use fire barrel arrows to defeat the enemy, and then use light cavalry to cover up the enemy."

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

"My uncle always cherishes troops. I guess he will use fire barrel arrows to break the strength of the heavy cavalry first to reduce our consumption. However, since the fire barrel arrows do not have much ammunition left, my uncle has to consider the follow-up attack on the city.

Therefore, fire barrel arrows must be used very rarely. If the enemy formation is slightly chaotic, heavy cavalry will rush out accordingly, reducing the consumption of fire barrel arrows.

The combination of the two will match my uncle's temperament! "

Before Huo Qubing finished speaking, changes began to occur 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 stages, there needs to be a deeper entanglement to determine the outcome, life or death.He couldn't be like his opponent at the beginning, who showed up and was killed easily.

A sudden change in the situation has arrived.
