Chapter 795
The Roman army could no longer resist, and I don’t know which part of it collapsed first. The entire army collapsed like a sand dike in front of a torrent! The officers and soldiers fled in the direction they came. The soldiers did not obey the orders, and the officers did not care about the soldiers. The scene was in chaos! The Qin army infantry and cavalry chased each other. In the middle of the forest, countless people were rolling and crawling to escape, while roaring and cursing! The scene was like a pack of wolves driving the flock of sheep!
Seeing that many Roman soldiers could not escape, they simply turned around and prepared to fight to the death! However, they were hit by the opponent's war cavalry and were killed in a pool of blood. They fled everywhere without death, throwing their helmets and using their arms and feet together, hoping that Zeus could save his life!
Severu fled to the plain near the stronghold and immediately gathered 6,000 defeated soldiers and arranged them into a square formation where their Roman Empire fought to scatter the world. The Roman formation was actually similar to the tortoise shell formation of the Eastern Empire, which was strange. That is, to use a shield to protect the opponent's attack, and when the opponent attacked, he could use a shield to resist the opponent's attack while using various weapons to kill the opponent. To put it bluntly, this military formation is a tactic of defense as an offensive. While protecting himself with this tightly protected formation, he continued to consume the opponent. After consuming the opponent's military strength and willpower, he launched a comprehensive counterattack and defeated or even eliminated the opponent. The Roman Empire dominated the West basically relied on this tactic.
Six thousand Roman legion soldiers were arranged into a square formation, and everyone's originally panic became very calm. The officers and soldiers only felt that the square formation had been arranged, and their safety was guaranteed, and they even felt that they could turn defeat into victory!
Not long after, the horses in front of him were neighing and shouting in the dust. The terrifying Qin cavalry appeared in front of them. However, the soldiers of the Roman legion were no longer afraid, but instead felt excited. Severu shouted loudly in the middle of the phalanx: "Long live the Roman Empire! The Roman legion will win!" The officers and soldiers couldn't help but burst into tears and shouted loudly. The loud noise echoed between the heaven and earth, and the fighting spirit soared into the sky.
Ailang led more than a thousand war cavalry to the opponent's army formation and stopped before looking at the opponent's square formation made of shields. He couldn't help but think of the plot of the Roman legion phalanx that often appeared in film and television dramas. The Roman legion in film and television dramas is basically invincible, as if any strong opponent wants to flatten it when encountering Rome, and then he can only fail to sink the sand. Ailang still remembers that it was a country that fictionalized a battle between the Catholic coalition against Genghis Khan's western expedition. In it, the Catholic coalition actually defeated the fierce Mongolian cavalry with the long-disappeared Roman legion phalanx! Ailang smiled coldly and raised the Fangtian Painted Ridge. More than a thousand war cavalry quickly arranged into three rows to prepare for the charge. Seeing that the opponent was about to charge, Seville showed an excited expression in his eyes, and he muttered something in his mouth, as if he wanted them to rush up quickly!
Ailang waved the Fang Tian Hua Ji in his hand forward. The first row of war cavalry immediately let out a roar and rushed out! Severu's eyes lit up and he shouted loudly. The soldiers of the Roman Legion shouted, erecting their shields to prepare for the opponent's attack.
In a blink of an eye, we saw the opponent's fierce combat cavalry rushing in front of us. However, unexpectedly, the opponent's combat cavalry did not rush straight into it, but quickly split into two strands in front of the formation and ran towards both sides.
Severu thought the other party was planning to attack the wings, so he couldn't help but smile coldly and looked contemptuous. At this moment, the Qin army cavalry in the Mercedes suddenly threw out countless lock hooks, and they made a ping-pong sound, either hooking the shield or hooking the human body! Before the Roman legion soldiers could react, many shields and human bodies were pulled out by the power of the other party's cavalry, and the dragged shield and human body knocked down other people! The originally rigorous military formation became riddled with holes and a mess in an instant!
Severu was shocked and didn't know what to do for a moment. And at this moment, the two Qin cavalry on the front suddenly shouted, and then rushed over under the leadership of the particularly heroic general! Severu was shocked and shouted, "Sustain the front! Maintain the front!..." However, the already chaotic military formation could not recover for a while!
The Qin army's iron hooves rush. In a blink of an eye, the rolling iron hooves crashed into the middle of the Roman legion. A huge and amazing impact sounded, and countless Roman legion officers and soldiers were knocked out! It seemed as if they were hit by a head-on impact from a powerful storm! The Qin army's iron cavalry broke through the formation, and they were in a move. The rolling iron hooves kept wrapping the opponent's officers and soldiers in! The Roman legion soldiers tried their best to resist but could not resist it. The officers and soldiers who were blocking the opponent's iron hooves fell down one after another! Shouts and screams, the Roman legion whose battle formation was destroyed seemed to have become a slaughtered lamb! Severu stared at the wide eyes and was shocked. It was not that he had not fought against the cavalry, but the northern barbarians on their side were also known for cavalry, but this was the first time he had encountered such a cavalry as irresistible as a devil in front of him!
In just a blink of an eye, the Roman legion formation was already destroyed by the Qin cavalry! The soldiers of the Roman legion who were not dead dared to fight again, and they fled in a panic. The Qin army pursued and killed ruthlessly until the gate of the stronghold. During the battle outside the city, the Roman officers and soldiers in the city originally planned to leave the city to assist in the battle. However, the army outside the city was defeated too quickly, far beyond their imagination, and the fierce and fierce enemy troops made them frightened and frightened. Therefore, until Severu was completely defeated and fled, the officers and soldiers in the city did not come out to rescue him. He watched his officers and soldiers being killed by their opponents and blood flowing everywhere, and a tragic scene.
The officers and soldiers standing on the city wall looked at the scene outside the city, their hearts trembled, and their eyes were full of fear. They hardly believed in their eyes, and they did not believe that there would be such a terrible enemy in the world!?
Severu led the defeated generals to flee back to the stronghold. He was shocked and thought about the battle just now, and felt both frightened and cowardly. He then ordered people to count the remaining soldiers and found that there were only less than 2,000 people left. Severu was shocked and frightened, unable to speak. The generals and officials under his command could not speak, and the expressions in his eyes were full of panic.
The Qin army outside the city did not launch an attack immediately, but cleaned the battlefield and set up camp outside the east gate of the stronghold to rest. In this way, Severu's eastern stronghold was in a state of being attacked on both sides.
Severu discussed countermeasures with his generals in the hall. One general couldn't help but say, "General, the current situation is very dangerous to us! I don't think we can continue to fight anymore! We didn't know these Eastern barbarians before. They are better than us in terms of equipment and combat power. Such a powerful opponent has never met before! This is their place. If we continue to fight, I'm afraid that all of us will not be able to go back to our hometown!" The generals and officials agreed. Severu frowned and did not speak. In fact, after experiencing these consecutive defeats and heavy losses, Severu had already lost the courage to fight against the Qin army. However, he didn't know how to end the situation now, and he didn't know what the opponent's plan was.
Severu raised his head and saw that all the generals had lost their fighting spirit, he was ready to speak.
At this moment, the sound of rapid footsteps came from the door. Severu couldn't help but stop and looked at the door. Suddenly, he saw Gaide, covered in blood, coming in. Severu was surprised and happy, and immediately got up and ran forward, hugged Gaide's shoulders, and shouted in endless joy: "Great! I thought you were dead!"
Gad looked lingering in fear and couldn't help but say, "If we hadn't dived and escaped, we would have been dead now!" Severu asked hurriedly, "How many people have you come back? How many warships and ships are there?" What Severu is most concerned about now is how many ships are left.
Gad smiled bitterly and said, "Only a dozen of us escaped, and the others were either killed or captured. As for the ships, those who were not burned should have fallen into the hands of the Qin army." When everyone heard this, they couldn't help looking at each other, with a look of great worry in their eyes.
One general couldn't help but say, "Without a ship, we just want to retreat, we can't retreat!" Another general said, "There are still ships, don't forget the fleet that transports spoils and slaves. They will probably be back here in a few days."
Severu immediately said to a general: "John, immediately send someone to the south to intercept the fleet, and ask them to hide on the spot and wait for my order." John responded, almost no longer leaving.
Severu thought and murmured, "We should send people to contact the Qin people now. Maybe the situation is not as bad as we imagined." Yan thought of this, so he turned his head to look at the generals under his command. Finally, his eyes fell on the gentle generals and said, "Hancock, you are proficient in the language of the Qin people, so you can send an envoy to the other party. Tell the King of Qin that as long as he can withdraw his troops, we can agree to any request. This Yizhou is not his territory, so why should he be an enemy of our Roman Empire for this? As long as he withdraws his troops, I can promise to hand over half of the Yizhou profit to him." Hancock bowed and agreed.
Just as Ailang was discussing the attack on the stronghold with everyone, his personal soldiers came to report: "King Qin, the Roman envoy is here, please see the King of Qin!"
Ailang smiled and couldn't help but say to Zhou Yu, "It's exactly the same as Gongjin expected." Zhou Yu smiled slightly and said jokingly: "These barbarians from the sea are no different from other barbarians. They were extremely rampant at first, but once they were defeated and lost their soldiers and generals, they were scared!" Ailang smiled and said, "I'll be scared after being beaten! A bunch of sluts!" Then he said to the personal soldier who came to report the news: "Bring me the people." The personal soldier Yingnuo said that he would be almost gone, and after a moment he led a Roman general wearing a Roman armor and cloak with blond hair and blue eyes in.
Although Ailang had been engaged with the Roman army several times, these blond, blue-haired, blue-eyed, bearded guys saw him, as if they were looking at a group of monkeys, and they could not tell who was who they were. When the Roman general saw Ailang, he immediately bowed to the Han rituals: "I am here to pay my respects to the general on our orders! Our general has something to say, and I hope to discuss with your King of Qin! Please give me some convenience!"
