at this time,

Inside Caesar's marching tent.

Caesar, Octavian, and the senior officers of the Roman Empire are discussing the next tactics.

On the battlefield in Europe, they have never suffered such a big loss.

Was attacked last night.

With the behavior of Rome, revenge must be returned.

But now,

How to fight is another question.

Several generals under Caesar also expressed their opinions, but after a long debate, they did not come up with a very good proposal.

Octavian originally suggested learning from the way of thinking of the Han Dynasty, bypassing the natural dangers of the two peaks, and raiding the Han army from behind.

Many generals agreed with this proposal.

however,

Soon, they discovered the problem again.

The current Roman Empire does not pay much attention to cavalry at all. The light cavalry has no armor and is only responsible for scouting and harassment.

but.

If it is to harass the village, these light cavalry are enough to deal with the unarmed people.

But the ones who are going to attack now are not ordinary people, but the Han army who are fully armed and fighting bravely.

These light cavalry with only weapons and no armor, after rushing around, the final result is probably just delivering food to people.

Heavy cavalry, but usable.

but.

There were not many heavy cavalry in the Roman Empire.

Moreover, the role of the heavy cavalry is to withstand the rain of arrows and break down the enemy's formation.

However, heavy cavalry also has a very fatal shortcoming.

That is, the equipment is too heavy and the endurance is insufficient.

The heavy cavalry is heavy, whether it is a knight or a soldier, they are all armed to the teeth, and even the horses are covered with armor.

Short distance charge is fine.

But let these heavy cavalry, wearing nearly two hundred catties of armor, go around and attack the Han army camp?

I'm afraid it hasn't run yet.

The horse was exhausted first.

It is because of this.

Later, the Byzantine heavy cavalry adopted the strategy of riding with two horses.

Before the war began, one horse carried the rider, and the other carried the armor.

After the war begins, they will change their armor and charge.

Of course, this is a later story. Rome has not yet thought of such a strategy.

a time.

Neither Caesar, Octavian, nor the generals of the Roman Empire thought of any good solutions.

To use a saying in the Dragon Kingdom,

Now they treat the Han army like dogs eat hedgehogs, and they have no way to start.

"Those damn yellow-skinned people!"

Abinus, who was the most irritable, raised his thick arms and complained, "It would be great if I could fight them head-on, I will crush every bone of them!"

The other generals were also filled with righteous indignation.

They couldn't wait to meet the Han army on the frontal battlefield.

Using the skillful Roman phalanx to defeat the Han army, let out this bad breath!

Yet at this time.

"General Albinus, those thin yellow-skinned monkeys are as cowardly as a mouse, and they can only use some despicable tactics. It is absolutely impossible for them to fight us head-on."

Another general said with some contempt.

As soon as this word comes out.

Many Roman generals suddenly felt extremely aggrieved, as if they had punched cotton.

"Yeah, it might be very difficult for them to fight us head-on."

"These guys are so vile."

"It would be great if they could really fight us head-on. We must let them know that our Roman infantry phalanx is amazing!"

"Stop joking, these timid and thin monkeys are not fools, how could they fight us head-on?"

"In my opinion, we should try our best to guard against their sneak attack first, this group of yellow-skinned monkeys will not give us a chance to fight head-on.

"If they can fight us head-on, there are only two possibilities, either their commander is stupid, or the gods are looking after us."

Officers of the Roman Empire, you speak one sentence at a time.

All I can do now is to complain and enjoy my mouth.

in their eyes.

The army of the Han Dynasty would never dare to fight them head-on.

Because, in their hearts, a deep-rooted belief has long been formed.

That is, the Roman phalanx, invincible!

Invincible in the West, invincible in the East, too!

however.

Just when this group of Roman officers complained and laughed at the Han Dynasty's despicable methods.

"Everyone, be quiet!"

Octavian said suddenly.

The voice of complaints stopped abruptly, and all the Roman officers looked at Octavian suspiciously.

Octavian didn't speak, but pointed to a glass cup on the table.

This glass cup is the water cup of Julius Caesar.

Yet at this time.

All to see.

The water in the cup seemed to be shaking regularly.

Every time it shakes, there will be slight water waves, one after another.

"what happened?"

Abinus asked suspiciously.

Yet at this time.

A Roman centurion suddenly ran in from outside.

"Consuls, generals!"

"In the direction of the Han army camp in the distance, there are ten infantry phalanxes approaching here!"

……

Chapter 73 Roman Phalanx VS Flying Eagle Array!

"Consuls, generals!"

"In the direction of the Han army camp in the distance, there are ten infantry phalanxes approaching here!"

The voice of the Roman centurion reached the ears of everyone in Caesar's marching tent.

The air instantly quieted down.

This information is indeed a bit too sudden.

In particular, those generals became dazed in a short period of time.

Before that, they also listened to the reports of the mercenaries.

According to the mercenaries.

At that time, the reason why they fled was that on the one hand, they were killed into the camp before they had time to prepare for battle because of the opponent's surprise attack.

On the other hand, at that time, the night was covering the sky, and it was difficult to distinguish the direction.

In addition, the cavalry of the Han Dynasty dressed up like devils.

These mercenaries didn't react for a while, so they were frightened and fled in embarrassment.

although.

Caesar, Octavian, and Roman officers doubted the authenticity of these mercenaries.

But there is one thing they heard from Julius Caesar.

That is.

The size, strength, and individual combat capabilities of these orientals are definitely not as good as Roman soldiers.

Its body shape can only be compared with those yellow and emaciated slaves in Rome.

The official infantry of the Roman Empire, all of them were Roman citizens, belonged to the exploiting class and the wealthy class in Rome.

Diet, also very careful.

Coupled with genetic reasons, their size and strength are indeed taller and stronger than orientals.

Even the body hair is much stronger than that of orientals.

Therefore.

These Roman officers decided.

The army of the Han Dynasty was weak and would never dare to confront the Roman Empire head-on.

however,

Just now, they said swearingly.

The army of the Han Dynasty was thin and weak, and they only knew the despicable tactics of sneak attacks. They never dared to confront the Roman phalanx.

But now.

Hearing the centurion's report, these Han Dynasty troops actually formed a square formation and marched towards the Roman Empire's camp?

This is too sudden!

The sudden reversal caused the officers of the Roman Empire to fail to react for a while.

but.

After a brief surprise.

The faces of these Roman generals showed ecstasy in an instant.

"Haha—are these Orientals crazy?"

"If they continue to use some despicable methods, maybe we should be careful to defend."

"Unexpectedly, the army of the Han Dynasty gave up their best tactics and wanted to engage in a legion battle with us?"

"Great, we're sure to win this time!"
