"Rise the shield! The tortoise shell formation!" The commander of the legion Axius shouted loudly. The Roman soldiers in the front row immediately raised the shield to the front, and the ones behind were raised to the top. This is a very classic Roman infantry tactic and the most commonly used Roman tactic.

At this moment, a trumpet sound came from outside. According to the Roman military order, the trumpet sounded to order the army to attack, and the other sounded to retreat. The Roman army rushed towards Murong Han's army with a shield.

Unlike other Roman generals who liked to put young people in the first row, Axius liked the strongest soldiers in the first row. The ones he placed in the first row were veterans who had participated in the war, and Caesar also liked to do this very much. In this way, soldiers' charges are often very fierce and can easily defeat the enemy with one blow.

"It's another army of infantry, and you can't force yourself to surround them without fighting." Murong Han just took a rough look at Constantius' Roman legion and knew that it was a similar configuration as last time.

The two sides had already fought when Sima Ji entered Egypt. In short, the Roman legion was dragged down. Before the heavy cavalry of the Jin Guards took action, the four vassal soldiers under Murong Han could not chew on the Roman legion at all.

Now when he saw Constantius posing the Roman tortoise shell formation, Murong Han was immediately one head and two big. The Roman tortoise shell formation was almost everyone holding a shield, and archers only accounted for a very small proportion of the Roman tortoise shell formation. This was completely different from the battle formations that were coordinated by various types of soldiers in the Central Plains. The advantage is naturally that it provides soldiers with a relatively safe confined space, which offsets the threat of the opponent's long-range weapon to the greatest extent.

The best way to deal with the Roman turtle shell formation is to have more elite troops and their sledgehammers will be stronger, so that they can smash the turtle shell of the Roman legion. Today, there is one army, but in Sima Ji's hands, Murong Han does not.

Another reason why Sima Ji was able to deal with the Roman turtle shell formation is that he has seen it many times. The appearance of this Roman turtle shell formation is actually very common in later generations. When the special police of military police from various countries deal with the riots, they were very similar to the Roman turtle shell formation. King Yan, a shameful keyboard warrior, has watched many similar videos.

If you don’t have the skill of swinging a sledgehammer, don’t think about killing the Roman legion head-on. In fact, this tortoise shell formation is very physically exhausting, and opportunities will always appear if it is dragged on. Moreover, the Planiga Province is the Libyan desert environment in later generations, Murong Han believes that the other party will definitely not be able to hold on.

"If the Romans were really capable, they would hold their shields all the way to Alexandria. I would not believe they could do it." Murong Han wiped the sweat from his face and said, "Send the order, every team of ten thousand people will harass me for an hour, and change it every hour. Feed the attack every four to six hours to see how long they can last."

Murong Han was not prepared to fight against the Roman Legion, and there were no soldiers in his hands that could be fought against him. Instead, he chose the method of Parthia to deal with Crassu, and was not in a hurry to defeat the Roman Legion in a short time. The infantry army would always reveal flaws after a long time.

"Constantius actually crucified Christians. It's a good thing. I didn't expect that there would be such a side." Sima Ji smiled and said happily after listening to the reward. He remembered that Constantius's son had issued the famous Milan edict, recognizing Christianity as a legal and free religion, and was baptized as a Christian before his death.

Although the Roman emperors after Constantine the Great also had people who wanted to restore tradition to ascend the throne, the matter had become settled and they were unable to make up for the heavens. Instead, after their death, Christians were given the title of apostates. A religion dared to give an imperial emperor such a bad reputation, and for this reason, Christians were not wronged by Diocletian.

"Hurry to spread the story of Caesar, Rome, 5,000 Christian prisoners of war. Now we still need Christians to help us share the casualties." Sima Ji, who came back to his senses, quickly ordered to the left and right, and he had always been afraid that these Christians would be unreliable.

This kind of worry is like the Central Plains dynasty's concern for people like An Lushan. The Hu Empire's concern for the Central Plains generals under the Central Plains. It's not nice to publicize it, but this kind of worry makes sense. This kind of worry is normal, but now with the help of Caesar of Rome, Sima Ji doesn't have to worry about such things for the time being. It would be better to die with Jesus.

According to rumors, Jesus' death was a crime in the Roman Empire, at least in the eyes of Christians. Now, the fact that five thousand prisoners of war were crucified must be quickly spread to all Christians.

The effect was immediate because Sima Ji heard the vague prayer, and this prayer that was everywhere was more like a declaration of battle in his ears.

Sima Ji felt that he could have a safe sleep today. The facts proved that he was wrong. The overworked King Yan was woken up directly at midnight. Ataya was dressed neatly and pointed to the guard outside the door and said, "They are looking for you."

"King Yan, the lights of the Alexandria Lighthouse are out." Seeing Sima Ji wake up, the guards quickly reported carefully, not knowing whether they would be punished if they woke up the King of Yan's sleep.

Sima Ji, who rubbed his eyes, flipped his eyelids and glanced at the personal guards who came in, "It's the Romans. I'm telling the battalions to be careful!"

The most important function of the Alexandria Lighthouse is navigation. He has told the defensive Christians that at any time, they must ensure that the lighthouse is illuminated and sufficient lighting materials are prepared. Now the light of the lighthouse has been extinguished. There is only one possibility, that is, the Alexandria Lighthouse has been lost.

"Reignite the lighthouse now and don't let our enemies discover it!" Seeing the Roman soldiers lifting the body down, the Roman battalion commander with a beard reacted quickly, and he still wanted the Roman fleet's actions to be sudden.

But it was useless. The King of Yan, who was afraid of being retribution, couldn't sleep well even in the territory of the Great Jin Dynasty, let alone in a foreign country. The lighthouse was extinguished for so short time, which was enough to be alert in his heart.

The warships of the Roman fleet appeared on the sea, approached Alexandria under the guidance of the lighthouse, and entered the estuary without hesitation and rushed into the Nile River. However, the Jin army on the shore did not react slowly, and the entire Jin army camp became brightly lit for a moment. The Roman fleet wanted to achieve the effect of the raid and died of the fetus.
