"No matter how dark the night is, dawn will always come... under his leadership!" - Rukius, the prime minister of the Great Empire of the Ortenia.

In the era of cold weapons, infantry basically dominated the phalanx army. The phalanx army did not all hold the same weapons. On the outermost side of the phalanx, they were generally shield infantry, using swords or swords as weapons to protect the formation; inwards were usually spearmen, used to assassinate the enemy and block cavalry; at the very beginning, there were archers, who killed the enemy at a long range. When the Roman legion was first established, the main enemy was the Greek heavy infantry phalanx. At first, the Roman legion also adopted the same tactics. The Roman legion, which was full of courage but lacked phalanx training, could not fight against the skillful Greek phalanx. Therefore, in response to the Greek phalanx, the Romans made some effective improvements to their legion, such as the javelin (a magical weapon, author's words), and the Luo who only showed his head and feet was revealed. Therefore, in response to the Greek phalanx, the Romans made some fruitful improvements to their legion, such as the javelin (a magical weapon, author's words), and the Luo who only showed his head and feet.
Horse shield, the standard Roman individual tactics are: throwing a javelin - front of the shield - arch - collision - sword stab or chop (sometimes wielding a shield - sword stab or chop). This tactic makes Greek armored soldiers who are used to long weapons and middle-distance combat unstoppable. The Roman square shield seems huge, but it is very flexible in actual combat. The side stab of the shield is also flexible than the round shield. There is also the Roman dagger that is the same as the Qin Dynasty! Its usage method is between a knife and a sword, and it can be stabbed or slashed vigorously. The wide but short sword body determines its closer usage distance. The user must have extremely high courage. Roman infantry usually holds Roman shields and daggers and crashes into the Greek dagger, causing bloody storms. The person being cut off or even the limbs are separated. Such power is rare in daggers that mainly use stabs.
If Rukius could quickly form a standard Roman legion before the collapse, it was a pity that in the current city where natural disasters were hollowed out by natural disasters, even if he was talented, he had no choice. Under the instructions of Ortinia, Rukius wisely chose the simplified version of the standard Roman armament - 6,730 people, 6,733 people used the Roman dagger (with kitchen knives and slaughter knives in the middle), 6,730 wooden round shields, and finally, the secret weapon created according to Ortinia's idea - the fire pot!
As the drizzle drizzled, Rukius rode the only thin Spanish horse out! Behind him was a tide-like cut-out Roman legion, which was unkempt like a tide, and a faint wave appeared in his dark brown eyes: "How did you think, Orthania?" The confusion in his heart lingered his mind, but this did not cause much interference to him. From the moment he stepped onto the battlefield, Rukius, who was only 12 years old, came back!!!
An army of more than 6,000 people advanced with powerful steps. On the opposite side of the west gate guarded by Ottinia, on the broken wall of the east gate of the Roman city, the exhausted noble united army stopped their work in surprise. In their eyes, the leader of the reformist faction, Rukius, actually brought a large group of farmers to challenge Clovi's elite Frank infantry?! What did he think? Outside the door were fierce Franks, and this kid actually took the farmer to challenge these bloodthirsty demons? I wonder if he had burned his brain?
Although there are many questions, when you see someone helping, these hard-working soldiers naturally slapped their hands and welcomed them. What? Why don’t you use the exquisite armor on these noble private soldiers? Do you think these people will take them off for no reason? Sometimes people are so selfish, let alone these private soldiers who have been influenced by the greedy nobles for many years. Rukius didn’t say much to them, but led his army to the Frank army alone, and walked onto this noisy battlefield in the amazement of everyone…
The Frank coach who attacked the East Gate was Hildebe (this was one of the four emperors who were later enfeoffed by Clovie after his death). Under his wheel-like attack, the already damaged walls of Rome City had already been shaking, but he did not expect that someone would go out to fight with him directly!? He sneered contemptuously, thinking that this was the Romans who were beaten to him by themselves, but he ended up doing a counterattack before his death, and he would be rebuffeting! In his so-called y
When he was proud of himself, more than 6,000 Roman legions led by Rukius embarked on the journey for the first time. This incident was recorded by historians - "Faced with an army that was ten times stronger than himself, they were not afraid of danger!" "I achieved a miraculous victory in a heart-wrenching manner!" "I defeated the Frank cavalry and infantry with the farmers, and Ottoni's wonderful ideas and Rukius's on-the-spot play a decisive role!"
Naturally, Rukius could not see the praises of later generations to him; naturally, Hildbe could not see the real fierceness of this army. In the face of Rukius' command ability, which originated from the essence of ancient military tactics, how powerless the chaotic Frank formation seemed.
"How young... the opponent's commander..." Under the protection of the Frank cavalry, Hildebe shook his originally unwise brain. With his sigh, he took uniform steps. The cut-off Roman legion rushed around. The Romans angrily waved the dagger and slaughtering knife in their hands, and raised their hands to raise their shield to protect their heads and hearts. Although the equipment was simple, what is valuable is that the Romans who lived in this hell on earth for many years had developed a good skill. The Franks, who obviously underestimated the enemy, rushed forward, trying to block the modified Roman legion through the encirclement. Most infantry surrounded these farmers in their eyes. When the Franks shouted "Long live God", the black "water" fell from the sky!
When Rukius saw these black "water", he smiled knowingly, and immediately raised his hand and waved his hand. The surrounding Romans threw out the burning cups behind him. Amid the sound of the pottery cracking, a loud thunder-like sound alarmed everyone on the battlefield! The compound made of **, charcoal and sulfur machinery mixed with machinery reacted quickly. With the help of the black "water", the high temperature and explosion released by the 10 burning cups directly killed a large number of Franks. Among the Franks flying with flesh and blood, the modified Roman legion quickly stood out! In the city of Rome, through the broken wall, Histina's heart was also relieved. She directed the operation of the catapult and accurately projected the black "water", that is, the ignition liquid...
"Woo wow wow wow wow wow wow wow..." I don't know who started, a Frank man screamed, and because of the double blow of vision and hearing, countless Franks played a symphony of escape together. These wild monkeys who had never seen the world in the mountains began to flee around, and they still exclaimed "The Fire of Satan" and "The Wrath of God" in their mouths...
