sweeping the world

Chapter 833 The Friendship Boat That Will Capsize Anytime

The armored heavy cavalry of the Han army wore heavy armor, even the men and horses, and steel plates were designed on the vital parts, especially the chest of the horses was not only protected by steel plates, but also had a protruding spike.

The speed of armored heavy cavalry is not much faster, but under the premise that both men and horses are wearing heavy armor, even if the speed is not fast, the impact force brought by it is definitely not something that can be stopped by manpower, especially the people who block it. Under the premise that there is no dense formation.

The distance of more than 1000 meters is still too far for armored heavy cavalry. The distance they can charge with all their strength cannot exceed 150 meters. Sprint endurance over 150 meters.

A row of armored cavalry cannot sprint to the end, so tactics are needed.Each row of them is responsible for impacting a wave. After one row is finished, the next row is replaced. It looks like a wave collision tactic. It is very simple but extremely effective. Anyone who stands in the way is not knocked down by a lance. , is to become the meat under the hoof of the horse.

It’s not that the Romans didn’t organize their best tortoise armor array, but facing the wave crash tactics of the Han army equipped with heavy cavalry, there was no thick enough tortoise armor array that could block the collision of a row of Han army equipped with heavy cavalry, or It was to block the second collision, but it couldn't stop the third collision at all. The formation was quickly torn apart, and then it was about to meet the impact of the fourth row. Soon the entire formation collapsed. If you don't run, you wait. He died on the spot.

The battle broke out quite suddenly, especially among the Romans.They had prepared the welcome ceremony, even if they wanted to break their heads, they didn't expect that the Han army would suddenly explode.

Perhaps it cannot be said that it was the sudden rise of the Han army. It was Archbishop Peter who issued a declaration of war. He threatened to destroy all other gods for his "lord", so he declared war on all religions, including If Han is not the religious state, whoever makes the emperor of Zhuxia is a god.

Wang Meng had to be tough when someone threatened to kill his own emperor. Even if he would die in this battle, he would die to defend the emperor, and it would be recorded in the annals of history, destined to remain in history.

The rest of the Han army wants to fight. They have sworn allegiance to the emperor and are willing to shed their last drop of blood for the emperor. Even if the entire army is destroyed in this distant country, their sacrifice will not be in vain. Maybe it will be two years later, maybe it will be Soon, countless Han troops will appear in Constantinople, using iron and fire to tell the Romans how stupid they have been.

"Send someone to find Archbishop Peter!" Gallus shouted hysterically: "We must find him!"

Gallus definitely has a reason to become hysterical. He is the highest person in charge of the welcome ceremony. After such an incident, his troops are dying in large numbers. The battle also took place in Constantinople. Regardless of whether they lost or won, they have been permanently nailed to the pillar of shame in the history of the city of Constantinople.

"Let's mobilize more troops." Julian had a smile on his face again, and he started to smile all the time again: "No matter what the cause is, we can only win, not lose."

"After the Han people surrender, they will get the treatment they deserve, and all the Persians must die!" Gallus firmly believed in the final victory of this battle: "This is Constantinople!"

The current capital of Rome is Constantinople, which is no longer the city of Rome in Italy.The reason is naturally that the only Augustus in Rome is in Constantinople, where the supreme ruler chooses, the capital of a country will be there.

The city was full of noise. For those who did not know the truth, no one could understand how a good welcome ceremony turned into a fight. The war that broke out in the city of Constantinople came so quickly. The sudden, completely caught people off guard.

The fighting originally only took place at the pier and the west gate, then spread to the main street of the west gate, and then spread to the west city. It didn't take long for the whole city to become chaotic.

A city, especially a city with a large population, is absolutely indispensable for the existence of petty thieves. Whenever the city falls into chaos, it is the moment for them to fish in troubled waters.They will look for any opportunity to increase their wealth. Street robberies and burglaries will surge in a short period of time, and rape and murder will inevitably occur.

The location of Constantinople is a meeting point of Eastern and Western civilizations. There are not only Romans in the city. In fact, about [-] of the city's population of less than [-] are Romans, and the rest are other nationalities. , including no less than ten thousand Persians.

It is no secret that Persian soldiers fought Roman soldiers in Constantinople. Persian soldiers fought with weapons in the capital of Rome, and it was Roman soldiers who killed them. The anger of Romans was instantly ignited.The citizens among them rushed to the place where the war broke out wearing armor and holding weapons without saying a word. They would attack the Persians when they saw the Persians along the way.

First, the ordinary Persians were involved, and then the rest of the ethnic groups. Some Roman masters killed their own Persian slaves in a fit of anger. Into this sudden outbreak of war.

"The city is completely in chaos." Wang Meng could see thick smoke rising from many places in the city, and he heard screams in his ears: "We are not here to conquer Constantinople, we should stop .”

Cai Mian nodded and said, "From a military point of view, there is indeed a chance to conquer this chaotic city, but we really are not here to attack the city."

"We shouldn't be the first to stop." Wang Meng turned his head to look at Dou'a, and said, "Send someone to communicate with the Persians and let them leave the city."

Dou'a saluted but didn't respond immediately, he knew that Wang Meng had something to say.

"Tell our soldiers to break down the resistance of the enemy army at the fastest speed." Wang Meng thought for a while, and then said: "Control the dock, but don't kill too much."

Only then did Doua summon his own soldiers, almost repeating Wang Meng's words, before he reached into his bosom and took out half a piece of talisman and handed it out.

The soldier took the talisman and gave a military salute, he left a few steps and summoned a few people to leave together.

Constantinople was completely in chaos. A city that was in chaos itself, the control of the city gate was also seized. The army repeatedly tried to advance but was always crushed and retreated. For the city, it was equivalent to being attacked. It is difficult to counterattack internally.

"We have been retreating." Julian's army also joined in the fight against the Han army. He could still smile at Wang Meng not far away, then turned his gaze to Gallus and said, "I just saw When a few Han Chinese leave, guess what they are going to do."

"I hate that fake smile on your face." Even though he is a half-brother, Gallus has always disliked Julian, and he can even say that he hates him very much: "Just say what you have to say, don't Playing your tricks."

"I guess they are going to get the Persians out of the city." Julian believed in his own wisdom, he looked at Wang Meng again, and said to Gallus: "The angels of the Han Empire have been staying where they are, and they didn't even make a move. Guarding against bows and arrows, he firmly believes that we will not kill him, which also proves that this battle is not what the Han Empire wants."

"Peter is fully responsible for this matter!" Gallus emphasized this point, without adding an honorific title after Peter's name: "You need to prove this for me!"

"The people of Seris are very confident, and they also firmly believe that they are the most powerful country in the known world." Julian did not respond to Gallus' request. If this incident can hit Gallus, it would be good if he doesn't get hurt. How could he be willing to stretch out his hand.He has been paying attention to the situation at the West City Gate for a long time, and has already observed a fact: "Except for the first wave of about six or seven hundred Han troops, no new Han troops have flooded into the city. They are keeping their restraint and using this information to Come and show us that there is no intention of taking Constantinople."

"Can they attack?!" Gallus seemed to have heard some joke, but he couldn't laugh at all: "Constantinople doesn't count the legions brought by you and me. It has [-] elite guards. There are one hundred thousand citizens!"

Indeed, even if the capital of a country is caught off guard at the beginning, as long as the garrison reacts, blocks the attack layer by layer, and then uses the terrain advantage to advance steadily, as long as the number is not too much inferior to the attacking side, or the internal collapse, what is it? So easy to conquer.

"There won't be as many as [-] citizens soon." Julian was talking about something he didn't see, but it was an inevitable result: "Persian soldiers enter the city, and the Persians in the city will become scapegoats. Even if they don't die here If there is chaos, you will be expelled from the city later."

Gallus didn't like Julian, but he had to admit that Julian was very smart.What he was thinking now was how much oil and water there was in the cause of expelling the Persians, and whether he could rely on looting to make up for his losses.

Julian was a little strange. The Roman soldiers who joined the fight were not only his own but also Gallus's, and only the garrison who stood guard at the beginning joined in. The garrison that should have come to fight has not appeared for a long time.

Gallus yelled suddenly: "The defense line is broken!"

Julian has eyes to see. The Han army's armored cavalry is so fierce that it is not decent. The nearest Han army's armored cavalry has arrived within a hundred meters, and the Han army in heavy armor can also be seen. Pushing forward, the Roman legions they were proud of were either retreating in a panic or fleeing in all directions.

When the No. 1 Han army's armored heavy cavalry joined the Han army protecting Wang Meng and others, more armored heavy cavalry arrived. Their arrival changed the Han army's formation. The infantry was on the outside, and the armored heavy cavalry was on the outside. The cavalry is on the inside, forming an elongated oval.

The armored heavy infantry arrived one after another, and the formation of the Han army changed again. The outer area was full of armored heavy infantry holding a shield in one hand, a spear in the other, or a broadsword in both hands. The human soldiers, and further inside are equipped heavy cavalry. On the contrary, Wang Meng and others have been staying on the periphery of the army formation, closest to the Romans such as Gallus and Julian who have been staying at the scene.

There was no fighting on the long and narrow street. The people extending to the west to the west city gates were Han Chinese, and the people on the east side were Romans. The two sides stood quietly on this long and narrow street.

"I'm going forward." Julian retracted his sword into its scabbard, and asked Gallus with a smile, "Are you coming?"

Gallus was hesitant. What he saw was the bloodstains on the metal armor of the Han army. He could even see some people's limbs and organs hanging, which looked very bloody.Then, he really didn't know what the Han people ate and grew up. At a glance, the soldiers on horseback were not clear. The Han people standing on the ground with their legs were generally giants like iron towers.

Julian didn't get a response from Gallus and walked forward by himself. He walked very leisurely, as casual as if he was strolling in a garden, with a smile on his face.

The soldiers of the Han army on alert seemed to have been signaled in advance, and did not act aggressively in the face of Julian who was approaching. They waited for Julian to get close enough to open the gap in the formation, and when Julian walked in, It didn't close again either.

"Seresians are too tall." Gallus watched Julian go up. In contrast, Julian's height was almost half the height of the nearest Han Chinese: "We need to find out who the Seresians are. What kind of eating habits!"

When Julian faced Wang Meng, he was actually fine. Even if he was close to Cai Mian, he would not feel too small, but he walked in the queue full of soldiers who were taller than two meters tall, and once suspected that he had entered the kingdom of giants , or suddenly become a dwarf himself.This made him very unhappy, but there was nothing he could do.

There is nothing wrong with it. The armored heavy infantry in the Han army has rigid requirements. First of all, the height must be higher than 1.9 meters, and they must be strong enough. The latter is to increase the weight and endurance, physical strength, and combat skills during training.Due to such rigid requirements, a large number of people will be eliminated first, and a group of unqualified people will be eliminated in the subsequent training, leaving only those with more physical advantages.

"Wow!" Julian stood beside a heavy infantryman. He compared himself and pointed to the heavy infantry, and asked Wang Meng, "Do the Seres have giant blood?"

Wang Meng was stunned for a moment. Cai Mian, Dou'a, and the nearby Han people were basically a little surprised, just because Julian was speaking in very standard Chinese.

"We are Han people, not Siris people. Siris means silk in your language, and Han people are Han people." Wang Meng also approached Julian with a smile on his face, and said, "This envoy's height will never be higher. Growth, we're about the same height."

Ignoring the half-head height difference between himself and Wang Meng, Julian stretched out his right hand to shake hands with Wang Meng again, and said relaxedly: "Since the Persian army has withdrawn from the city, we can go to see Augustus now." Is it all?"

Wang Meng nodded and said, "Of course."

A lot of people's brains are not enough, Constantinople is still in chaos, but it seems that the two people who can make decisions at the scene have not fought at all just now, and the whole city seems to be singing and dancing?
