Small Landlords of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 175 210. Battle against Daqin
This Great Qin is not that Great Qin. During the Qin and Han Dynasties, ancient Rome was called the Great Qin, which means Great Empire.

The land was established in the Mediterranean Sea, which is now Italy. After the consolidation of three generations of emperors, the Great Qin Empire has become very powerful.

Stretching across the three continents of Europe, Asia, and Africa, the Antonine Dynasty, like the Eastern Han Dynasty, has entered a precarious period since the [-]s.

Otherwise, if there is such a big turmoil in the Han Dynasty, how could this western power miss the opportunity to share the cake.

Today's Great Qin, no, it should be the Byzantine Empire. After the end of the Antonine Dynasty, ancient Rome entered the period of cholera.

Although there was no chaos in the Sixteen Kingdoms in the Central Plains, it was almost the same. The whole ancient Rome was in disarray, and even those small principalities became kings on their own.

It was precisely because of the dispersal of these people that Gan Ning and Lu Xun reached the Mediterranean Sea so quickly. Those small principalities had only a few hundred thousand troops.

A principality with 50 soldiers and horses can mobilize 40 soldiers and horses in a big battle. This is under the condition of preparation, but will Gan Ning give them time to prepare?
Hastily preparing for battle, a maximum of [-] troops can be deployed at one time to defend against foreign enemies. [-] soldiers and horses sound like a lot, but it is not enough until you actually fight.

An army of [-] rode and shot once, and it was a dark cloud covering the sky, just like Qin Ke in the movie, no matter how powerful an assassin is, facing the rain of arrows will only lead to death.

The Scarlet Blood Legion is different. It only needs 1000 people to hold high heavy shields, which is enough to withstand the enemy's arrow rain. When the heavy shields are connected together, it is a giant steel plate wall.

Even with modern guns, apart from a few sniper rifles and anti-tank heavy snipers, other guns can't penetrate a five-centimeter steel plate, let alone a mere arrow.

The heavy shield defense can ignore the swift arrow, even if there is an omission, if it is shot by the swift arrow, isn't there still soft armor and heavy armor?
Not to mention the double-layer defense compared to the body armor, it is a bit unrealistic to rely on fast arrows to break through the defense. The army of these principalities encountered the Scarlet Blood Legion, just like wild dogs encountering hedgehogs, they have nowhere to attack.

If you can't even break the defense, how can you defeat the opponent? Long hair, fast arrows, javelins, everything that can be used is used, and it is not in vain in the end.

Except for those heavy machinery, such as city wall defense heavy crossbows, catapults, etc., they can cause a little trouble to the Red Blood Legion.

However, the lethality of the Scarlet Blood Legion made these duchies terrified. Many cities did not need to do anything at all. As soon as the army arrived, the nobles in the city surrendered one after another.

Tens of thousands of lions, plus more than [-] spotted hyenas, this wave of attacks alone caused the enemy to lose more than three floors.

If the opponent's coach is not a veteran of many battles, with those corrupted noble leaders, one impact can kill half of the enemy's army.

The rest were scared out of their wits, Gan Ning and the others only needed to go up to reap the lives, it didn't take much effort at all, and one person killed all five to complete the task.

For an army that slaughtered tens of millions, 1 people slaughtered 8 to [-] people, which is basically a lot of effort, and the swords are killed in seconds.

This time Wang Hao didn't let Gan Ning slaughter at will, only let him and Lu Xun capture the city, and then go to the next city.

It is very easy to rule here. As long as the knife in your hand is sharp enough, those Europeans who are full of servility in their bones will submit obediently.

For those stubborn aristocrats, the local aristocrats who rely on the old to sell the old, just let the reserve team take action. Killing chickens to scare monkeys works best here.

Xu Shu: "My lord, this is the capital of Byzantium. Are we going to attack?"

Wang Hao stood in front of the capital of Byzantium, looking up at this thousand-year-old capital, which is the capital of the Holy Empire.

There are 50 people living in it. Except for the palace and civilians, there are 15 troops in the capital of Byzantium, including the legendary Spartan warriors.

The Spartan warriors 500 years ago established the so-called holy empire. Are the Spartan warriors today still the Spartan warriors who defeated one hundred?
Gan Ning: "My lord, order the general attack!"

Lu Xun: "My lord, what are you worried about?"

Gan Ning and Lu Xun didn't understand, Wang Hao had pacified Europe, and only the Holy Empire was left, the capital of the country, why did Wang Hao hesitate again?
Wang Hao turned his head and looked at the soldiers of the principality who surrendered: "Have you seen those soldiers? What kind of expressions do they look at this city?"

Xu Shu looked back and frowned: "Why are they so afraid of this city? Could it be that there are some beasts and demons inside?"

Gan Ning: "Whatever he has, you'll know if you break through the city gate and enter. Is it possible that these people dare to rebel in front of the battle?"

Wang Hao: "You think they dare not?"

Lu Xun: "It doesn't matter if they rebel, as long as we can take this city quickly, it won't be too late to deal with them later."

Xu Shu: "That's right, General Lu Xun is right, as long as they can take it down quickly and then turn back, it doesn't matter if they rebel or not."

Maybe, everyone thinks so, as long as the Byzantine capital is taken quickly, all problems will be solved.

Wang Hao didn't think so: "You seem to have forgotten what I told you before, there are still 15 troops here, except for the Spartan warriors.

And the Holy See, the Knights of the Holy See is the key point, Merk Roger's formation, you have all experienced it.

The headquarters of the Holy See is located in the city, and its sense of mystery is no less than that of the Immortal we call it, if we are on the way to attack.

With things like formations and the rebellion of millions of troops outside, what do you think will happen to us in the end? "

The faces of Gan Ning, Lu Xun and others became ugly. They didn't expect it to turn out like this. They couldn't make up their minds about what to do now. Everyone turned their attention to Wang Hao.

Wang Hao looked up at the city gate: "Yuan Zhi, do you still remember what I told you to do after entering Europe?"

Xu Shu: "Remember, the subordinates have always kept in mind what the lord ordered. Could it be that the lord wants to..."

Wang Hao: "That's right!"

After entering Europe, Wang Hao asked Xu Shu to pay attention to the oil mines. Crude oil was mined out soon, and then it was for scientific research. Xu Shu didn't know where the crude oil went in the end.

Wang Hao muttered to the supervisor a few times, barrels of simple gasoline were taken out, and all of them were sealed with Tietong. Judging from the delivery team, there were at least 10,000+ barrels.

Wang Hao: "Let's start!"

The Scarlet Blood Legion did not move, and those principalities that surrendered, each elected 1 people, and used catapults to throw oil barrels into the city.

Starting in the afternoon and continuing until nightfall, 50 barrels of simple gasoline were thrown around the city of Byzantium, and all the barrels were thrown into the city.

Wang Hao took the crossbow from the guard, mounted a rocket wrapped in oilcloth, shot the first arrow, and left the rest to everyone.
