Chapter 179 Battle of the Roman giants!(1/2)
A Persian general stood on the wall and directed the Savalan cavalry out of the city gate and harassed the Han army that was about to siege the city.
Chu Tian was stationed here, preparing for siege equipment, while the Roman legion was eyeing him.
"The city is the guardian of Persian civilization. The Wei Wushang attacked the city and seized the city as soon as possible. Other cavalrymen were guarding against the Roman legion."
After Chu Tian drove Pompei away, Pompei stationed nearby and may attack at any time.
There are only five cities in this island, and one less is captured. The lords who did not obtain the city gathered near each city to seek opportunities.
In addition to Pompeii of Rome, there are also King Chen Shengzong of the Great Yue Kingdom, Chen Huang, and King Sunny Ali of the Sanghai Empire. The two are also coveting this city.
If they cannot capture the city, they will soon be forced to withdraw from the national battlefield.
There is still some hope to seize the city. If you don’t seize the city, there is no hope at all.
While attacking the city, Chu Tian wanted to resist the enemy from all three sides.
Pompei, Chen Huang, and Sonny Ali, no one dared to act rashly.
Chu Tian is not good at sieging the city with all his strength.
The nP defenders went out of the city to attack from time to time, allowing Chu Tian to confirm that the defenders of this city came from Persian civilization.
The situation was a bit stalemate for a while.
However, the catapult was shooting stones at the city to hit the morale of the Persian defenders.
The Han army began to ignore the other lords around and prepare for siege.
Chu Tian only used Wei Wushang to attack the city, while other cavalry waited for an opportunity to move.
"The Han army dared to ignore us. Isn't he afraid of my Roman legion?"
Pompei was shocked when he learned that the Han army had attacked the city.
"When will Caesar arrive?"
"Caesar just took down a city and is still reorganizing his military power. I don't know if it's time."
"If the Han army conquers the city in advance, something big will be wrong."
Pompei couldn't help but be anxious.
He would rather give the city to Caesar and exchange it for a benefit from Caesar than let Chu Tian take over half of the city, otherwise he would not be able to get any benefit.
Pompei's youngest son, Sextus Pompei (Little Pompei), encouraged his father: "Father, that's the general we are about to obtain. How can we give it to the emperor of the Han Empire? This is the time for decisive victory, and other lords will not miss this opportunity. The defenders in the city may also leave the city to counterattack."
Pompei asked the Goth General, whom he was under his command, "What do you think?"
Etius said: "If you can't get the city, you can't replenish weapons and food, you will have no capital to compete for the main city. Why not give it a try?"
"This is reasonable. Roman Legion, obey my orders! The enemy is the strongest legion in the world, but I want you to defeat them with your courage and prove your loyalty to me with your blood!"
Pompei assembled a team of Roman guards, nine Roman legions, as well as Visigoth heavy cavalry, Gothic swordsmen, German barbarian tomahawk soldiers and other troops to march towards Chu Tian's legion.
"The Romans couldn't hold back."
"With their pride, it is indeed unbearable tolerate the soon-to-be spoiled to the lords of other civilizations."
“This is our opportunity.”
The Great Yue Kingdom Legion, Chen Shengzong summoned about ten famous generals of the Great Yue Kingdom to peek at the city.
Chen Shengzong took Chen Xingdao, a famous general who fought against the Mongol Empire, as his pioneer general, and waited for an opportunity to act.
The king of the Sanghai Empire also wanted to win opportunities.
The competition for the sub-city is already very fierce, and the competition for the main city will inevitably be even more tragic.
Some lords just wanted to compete for a sub-city.
Rome, Dayue, Sang Hai, three civilized legions approaching. Dayue, Sang Hai wants to sit idly by and watch Chu Tian fight with Pompei. These small and medium-sized lords only have a chance to find a bargain.
"Three legions are already close to this city."
Chu Tian was monitoring the movements of the three legions at the same time.
The Great Yue Kingdom is located in the southern part of Jiaozhou and has always been incompatible with the Jiaozhou masters of the Han Empire. The Sanghai Empire is in West Africa.
The two kingdoms are not the first echelon civilization, and their strength is similar to that of Mang Yinglong of the Dongyu Kingdom.
"They all want to attack the city, so they can only defeat them quickly. This time, strong first and weak, after defeating Pompey, the other two kings of civilizations will definitely not dare to act rashly."
At this time, Sun Bin made a suggestion that it was the opposite of last time, believing that he should be the first to defeat the strongest Pompei.
Although Pompei is at the bottom of the Three Roman Emperors, he is still stronger than the Great Yue Kingdom and the Sanghai Empire.
"Iron Cavalry, Beiwei Army, Jiangdong Army, the three armies follow me to defeat the enemy!"
"Wei Wuzhang took this city as soon as possible."
Chu Tian re-used his old trick and carried out a night attack.
Yang Xingmi said: "Everyone Black Cloud Sword requests to fight!"
"Can."
Chu Tian brought an additional Black Cloud Long Sword Army, which currently has only two thousand people.
The Black Cloud Long Sword Army may play a role at critical moments.
The sword is also one of the commonly used weapons in the Roman legion.
Chu Tian counted more than 30,000 people and went to raid.
In summer, Shenji Camp was guarding the camp, while Wu Qi accelerated the attack to prevent more lords from being attracted.
At night, in the camp of the Roman legion, Pompey Little led the Roman cavalry to patrol. The Roman legion was divided into three groups, each with three Roman legions staying awake to prevent raids.
Atius and several barbarian generals were discussing how to arrange troops and defeat the Han army.
Among the barbarian generals was Visionoth King Theodoric I.
"The Han Empire had vast grasslands and good armor, so their elite heavy cavalry were huge. The tactics they usually used were infantry phalanxes, chariot formations as the backbone, and then they were harassed by light cavalry and raided by heavy cavalry."
Etius deduced the offensive and defense of the Han army on the map, but it was difficult to find the flaws.
The Han Empire had a complete range of troops and no obvious shortcomings, which was the biggest advantage.
Suddenly, there was a shout of killing outside the camp.
Generals such as Etius, Theodoric all stood up.
They were less than thirty or forty miles away from the Han army. At this time, there were shouts of killing, indicating that the Han army launched a raid at night!
"Come on the challenge!"
"Atius, I didn't expect that one day we would join forces against the enemy."
The Visigoth King Theodoric rode a war horse and commanded the brave and warlike Visigoth heavy cavalry legion.
"Why can't Rome and the barbarians join forces?"
Etius had an additional bonus to the barbarian army, so recruiting barbarian soldiers was beneficial to Rome and dangerous.
The various legions in the Roman camp immediately stood up and entered the war under the command of various Roman generals.
Little Pompei's Roman cavalry had already fought with Yue Fei's Beiwei army!
Yue Fei's Liquan spear stabbed forward with more than a dozen shots, and several Roman cavalry fell off their horses!
The Beiwei Army, who was wielding a long axe, took the lead in defeating the Roman cavalry and broke into the camp!
In the camp, the Roman legion garrison formed a phalanx, commanded by Pompei himself, and threw heavy javelins at the Beiwei Army!
The sharp javelin made a sound of breaking through the air, and the iron armor of the Beiwei Army was penetrated, and many Beiwei Army cavalry fell!
The javelin is also a common weapon used by the Roman legion, with an armor-breaking effect!
The Roman archers behind fired thousands of arrows at once!
The Beiwei Army appeared in the dark and hit the Roman legion. Yue Fei personally served as the vanguard, broke the formation with a gun, trying to open the gap, and let the Beiwei Army behind tear open the Roman phalanx.
Yue Fei picked dozens of people in a row, and the Roman heavy infantry holding spears and short swords came from all directions to siege Yue Fei.
The Beiwei Army was like a wave, attacking the Roman phalanx one after another!
"The 26th Legion, advance to the left front, and the 27th Legion, advance to the right front!"
Pompey used three Roman legions to fight against the Beiwei Army.
The three Roman legions are equivalent to tens of thousands of high-level soldiers.
Chu Tian led the Iron Cavalry into the Roman camp from another direction and encountered the Gothic heavy cavalry of the Visigoth King Theodoric!
Xu Chu served as the vanguard of the Iron Cavalry Army, and slashed out the sword light. A Gothic heavy cavalry was slanted by Xu Chu!
The "Tiger Idiot" effect triggered, and the morale of the surrounding Visigoth heavy cavalry dropped by 20 points!
Baibaoxianbei and Xuanjia Army formed a conical offensive formation to attack the Visigoth Heavy Cavalry Legion!
The Visigoth King Theodoric held a mace hammer and hit the armor of a Xuan Armor cavalry with one hammer. The terrible power and heavy armor-breaking weapons caused the armor of the Xuan Armor army to be sunken, the ribs were broken, and the killing was done by Theodoric!
Theodoric showed the terrifying force that the Barbarian King possessed!
