Chapter 399 Leading the army out of the village
In Julia's understanding, joining the army is equivalent to a subordinate staff officer, which is a relatively important position in the Roman legion. However, in fact, the power of joining the army in Middle-earth is more important. From a literal understanding, it is the military congress, but at the same time it is the chief of all the cadres in the military congress. For example, when Emperor Xiaoyuan was the prime minister, the thirteen cadres in the mansion were all appointed, all of whom were the chief of joining the army, and Xun Yu, the military congress of Prime Minister Cao Cao.
However, even though he could not understand the meaning of joining the army, Julia happily hugged Wei Feng and gave a sweet kiss on the spot, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect Julia's proposal would be recognized by the envoy. This made Julia so happy. Julia is also honored to be hired as a subordinate staff officer by you. Julia is very much looking forward to the day of serving you again as soon as possible."
Wei Feng was also secretly happy. He owed Julia 100,000 gold coins. What if the ship was finished, what should this woman do if she wanted to return to China? She had to find an excuse to keep it. Even if Wei Feng did not dislike Julia for not being clean and took her as a concubine in order to save money, but people would not want to do so. This has nothing to do with feelings. Instead, Rome is monogamous, and God is only a wife. As a believer of God, how could he be a concubine for a pagan? Relatively speaking, continuing to hire Julia only requires a few hundred gold coins a year, which is undoubtedly the best solution!
"Julia, there are female generals in every dynasty and generation in Central China, and you are not. In the future, you will be the first female general among Roman women. Do it well, I will be optimistic about you!" In front of the soldiers of the army, Wei Feng was not convenient to reply to Julia's kiss, so he threw out a message of encouragement, and then issued a series of orders according to Julia's proposal. The cavalry who was responsible for the formation was led by Chen Xi. The Gaoliang County soldiers brought by Feng Ying assisted in defending the village. Wei Feng himself would personally lead 10,000 infantry and cavalry to attack reinforcements, and the divine arm crossbows brought five hundred and all the crossbows were taken away.
After some arrangements, the entire army entered the busy pre-war preparations. The flags in the barracks were waved and the horns were constantly. Teams of fully armed soldiers rushed out from all the camps and gathered in front of the village.
Young Maiden Chen and Wang Daolian also brought armor and wore Wei Feng on the spot. The bright silver bright light armor set off Wei Feng with handsome and majestic!
Julia was staring at the array of troops in front of the village, but at this time, she turned around and couldn't help but lit up. She gritted her teeth and said, "Can Julia join the war? Don't worry, Julia has experience in land warfare and will not cause trouble for you. She captured a city with poison on her way to your country of Serris at the beginning of last year!"
Julia looked eager to try, her green eyes filled with yearning. Wei Feng said in surprise: "You only have more than a thousand people, you don't use bows and arrows, and you don't have any siege equipment. You can capture the city like this? Did you get in?"
Not only Wei Feng, but everyone was full of discomfort. No matter how small the city was, hundreds of defenders would have to have it. Even if you can't even get close to the city, how can you attack? On the contrary, Wei Feng's guess is easier to accept.
Julia shook her head seriously and said, "This city has nearly a thousand troops, with a population of less than 10,000. My uncle led the barbarian mercenaries and the Roman warriors including Julia to attack..."
Julia briefly introduced the general situation. It turned out that it was not that the Romans were too strong, but that the San Ge was too weak. Seeing the Romans in full armor rushed towards him, the San Ge was so scared that his legs were weak. Although he was barely shooting arrows, the Romans had shields and rushed to the bottom of the city gate without much effort. Then he took out an axe and slashed it hard, splitting the city gate into a pile of rotten wood. Then, he naturally robbed and raped, and demanded a huge amount of ransom, and then returned to the ship.
As Julia finished speaking, everyone looked disbelief. It was not surprising that the Romans picked up soft persimmons and pinched them, but they were too cruel. Even if the arrows didn't work, were there no rolling stones, wood or boiling oil on the city wall? Using an axe to split the city gate and put it in the middle of the earth was like talking nonsense!
But no one thought Julia would brag on such occasions, because she was so shameless. Wei Feng was stunned for a while before he came back to his senses and asked, "Madam Julia, it's okay for you to join the war. Can you ride a horse? Can you use a spear?"
"Yes!" Julia responded firmly.
Wei Feng waved his hand: "Then go and put on armor quickly, don't bring the big shield."
"Yeah!" Julia ran towards the back camp with her legs spread out.
As soon as Julia left, Liu Xingnan shouted: "General, Xingnan is going to join the war too!"
Wei Feng refused without thinking: "You can't do it, stay in the village and watch."
Liu Xingnan immediately said dissatisfied: "Didn't Julia go? She can go, why can't Xingnan go? General, you are thinking about Julia and trying to please them, right?"
Wei Feng's face also darkened: "What are you talking nonsense? I don't take you, it's because you don't have a good kung fu. Can you beat Julia? What's more, you have to ask Sister Jiaojiao first if you want to!"
Liu Jiao pulled Liu Xingnan and whispered: "Xingnan, don't mess around!"
"Oh!" Liu Xingnan responded reluctantly, with a look of unwillingness on her face, but what could she do? Her arm was being held tightly by Liu Jiao!
Not long after, Julia, dressed in Roman veil, ran over. Her outfit was exactly the same as a man, and she also had a very distinctive Roman cockscomb helmet on her head. This made Wei Feng look at her for a few more times. Where did she go? Could it be that she would be tied up?
Wei Feng immediately threw away the idea and asked his personal guard to give Julia a spear and a war horse. Then he waved his hand: "Go!"
"Woooooooooooooo~~" The desolate horn sounded, and 15,000 troops left the camp. Among them, the five thousand cavalry led by Chen Xi stopped at five miles southeast corner of the mountain city. This position could not only provide sufficient cover for Wei Feng, but also take care of the camp. If Li Xun opened the door to attack the cavalry, Chen Xi could only laugh and get a lot of credit for free. After the war, two more Yalian beauties might be given!
The taste of a white woman is different from that of a Jin family woman. Chen Xi couldn't help but lick her lips!
Wei Feng continued to lead the army forward, fifty crossbow cannons were dragged by carriages, five hundred god-arm crossbowmen and a thousand ordinary crossbowmen were mixed in front, and there were 1,500 archers behind, and three hundred female yakshas and personal guards led by Wei Feng, behind the hall were 1,000 spearmen and a thousand sword and shield soldiers. At the end of the legion, there were nearly a hundred cars, all filled with big bamboo branches and spears, so that infantry could abandon their bows and crossbows and set up a mandarin duck formation to fight in close combat at any time. All the cars were driven by nearly a thousand sailors.
The cavalry was divided into two, with two thousand and five hundred cavalry on both sides.
In the eyes of any expert, such marching formations are based on long-range strikes and cavalry charges, which is completely different from the Roman legion battles. Julia couldn't help but ask: "Emister, have you Ceres never fought in close combat?"
Wei Feng's eyes shot out of his idiot's eyes and laughed: "Why is the cavalry charge not considered close-knit fight? You Romans use heavy infantry as the main force of the legion, and here, including the northern barbarians, will join cavalry and crossbowmen if possible. The heavy infantry legion is not suitable for plains."
"Oh!" Julia nodded in a vague way.
While talking, as Wei Feng's troops moved, the fortress armed forces also changed. In Lijiashan City, various shouts and instructions were faintly floating in the wind. The 20,000 reinforcements that were about to arrive stopped, and the chariot retreated inward urgently, and the soldiers tried their best to huddle behind the chariot.
It is obvious that although it is 20,000 to 10,000, the quality is different. The 10,000 soldiers and cavalry over there are both infantry and cavalry, uniform soldiers and armor, and they are not famous. However, it may be heavy weapons used for long-range strikes. More importantly, facing the court army, at least I felt a little weak in my heart, and unconsciously placed myself in the defensive counterattack position from top to bottom.
The Duke Armed Forces are different from the Sun En armed Forces. Sun En armed Forces hate the Gaomen and are incited by extreme religious ideas. They really kill people and Buddhas. The Duke Armed Forces are based on clan children and honest tenants. They are deceived by a small group of ulterior motives and embarked on the road of confrontation with the court. Their usual targets of fighting are slang people. As for fighting with the court, most people have no clear intentions, and they are just habitually obeying the orders of the clan leader.
Such an army encounters a regular court army, and before the war begins, the momentum is released, not to mention that the equipment is a huge difference. The armored ones are less than 30% of them, and they don’t even think about throwing heavy weapons. In addition to having the advantage of having a large number of individuals, the only reliance is the chariot formation!
The archers were lying nervously behind the chariot formation. Some people grabbed the wrists of the bow tip. Due to excessive force, even the knuckles were white. Some people even put the arrows on the bowstrings in advance. However, the Chaoting Army formation in front stopped at about 150 steps!
Wei Feng did not launch an attack for the time being, but observed carefully. From the formation, the distribution of troops, and the mental outlook and facial expressions of the opponent's soldiers, Julia seemed to see some clues and turned her head and said, "Empress, the opponent seems to be too nervous, not like an experienced soldier at all. Our Roman slave rebels met a regular army at the beginning, but the longer the time delays, the stronger the combat effectiveness of the slave rebels will be. Therefore, you cannot raise a tiger to cause trouble. You must obtain a comprehensive victory in a short period of time. However, are your troops too few?"
Wei Feng smiled and said, "Madam Julia, you are right, but there is a situation you don't understand. Roman slaves have a deep hatred for Roman citizens and even Roman nobles. The two sides are indestructible. You have always killed all the slave uprisings, right?
And the people in front of you are not slaves, they are the people of the Jin Dynasty, and they are not in a life-and-death relationship with the court. They are only deceived and become enemies with me. After I defeat them, I can choose strong soldiers to join their army, and they will willingly serve me." (To be continued...)
