Roman Empire of Total War
Chapter 174: "·Pre-war deployment"
People mistakenly sigh the passage of time. To blame the time passed too fast, do not think that time is sufficient, naturally give us a good memory, so that all things experience time longer than the actual time.
-Leonardo da Vinci (typical artist of the Renaissance)
The place where Bai Feng personally sits is at the forefront of the entire Central Army, that is, directly in front of the Lithini First Army, and the officers and men of the Governor's Guard are standing in front of the First Army. Frontal enemy units.
The twelve teams of Roman youth soldiers of the First Corps were originally arranged in two rows to meet the enemy in the unit of 100. After discovering that the enemy was unformed and advancing with the scattered line, Bai Feng let Li Xini Adjusted the enemy formation of the young army generals.
Twelve teams of powerful young military officers and soldiers were successively arranged into a long dragon. In order to enhance the defense range of the frontal shield wall, the four-column battle arrays that should be lined up in a row of forty people into three-column battle arrays under normal circumstances, In this way, the shield wall of each team of youth troops is extended.
Behind this long shield wall, there are four thousand barbarian warriors of the First Army holding the shield in the left and the sword in the right; they also listed the battle fronts in a relatively neat formation. Once the front shield wall was breached, they He will rush out and fight the enemy.
Located on the left and right wings of the First Army are Bazer’s Tigers and Gattus’ Cheetahs. This time, Bazer still puts the most elite soldiers of the Tigers at the forefront of the battle. When the fighting broke out, the enemy's attack was suppressed.
The Cheetah Legion is the first time to meet the enemy in the form of a complete legion. The 3,000 soldiers they just added have not had time to change to more sophisticated weapons and equipment. The blacksmith shop in Rome City must next month to produce enough weapons for their use. equipment.
In this way, the 6,000 veterans of the Cheetah Legion formed a sharp contrast with the 3,000 new fighters; the 4,000 veterans of the 6,000 veterans were supplemented with a complete 4,000 lancemen, arranged at the forefront of the battle array with a standard lancer phalanx. There are four battle fronts in a row of a thousand people.
On the left rear of the forest of four thousand spears is a thousand archers with bows and arrows, and on the right back is a thousand elite warriors with square shields holding their short swords; as for the three thousand new warriors who also use round swords , It is all attached to the right wing of the Lancer without protection.
The defense of the Pikemen Phalanx is amazing, but the weakness of its flanks is also obvious. The cheetah corps of Gattus is deployed on the right wing of the first legion, which means that the left wing of the cheetah corps is protected by the first legion. The right wing is completely vacant.
In order to avoid the frontal pikemen's phalanx being destroyed by the enemy's empty right wing, Gattus intended to deploy all the three thousand new soldiers suitable for field operations on the right side of the pikemen's phalanx to protect the pikemen's phalanx The enemy's attack was disrupted.
The gun forest shield wall of the central force is definitely not a barbarian warrior can break through in a short period of time. No matter how powerful the Eastern Alliance’s army is, how large the number is, it is impossible to break through the inherent limitations of the barbarian army and quickly break through the defense of the Roman army. .
Compared with the well-organized and well-coordinated central main force, the left-wing army commanded by Aiges and the right-wing army commanded by Gamilios are much worse; whether it is the army of the Tasi Tribal Alliance, or just joined the city of Rome. As far as the Eagle Corps is concerned, their organizational structure is much worse than the three Central Corps, let alone the gap in weaponry and equipment.
The central defense line extended a lot by Bai Feng, almost the length of the attacking enemy. Algers and Gamilios commanded the army and they didn’t have to worry about their army getting the first round of the enemy. attack.
Bai Feng just sat on his battlefield and watched the enemy soldiers continue to move forward until the distance between the two sides was less than 300 meters. Bai Feng could even see the gray soldiers in front of the enemy. The struggling face was gone.
At this time, Bai Feng could already use his own experience to estimate the approximate number of enemy troops. Sure enough, as reported by the Parthian cavalry, the total number of enemy troops in front of him was about 50,000, including the number of soldiers wearing black military uniforms. At forty thousand.
Unsurprisingly, the 10,000 grey warriors at the forefront must be the slaves in the Eastern Alliance's invasion of the south; no matter whether they have the opportunity to become soldiers on the side of the Roman city in the future, everyone can only fight for each other's goals. And the **** fight.
However, from the perspective of the enemy's combat distribution, Bai Feng can also roughly see some clues. The 30,000 South Bank tribe warriors captured by the southern invasion of the enemy army have not really succumbed to them, otherwise this 50,000 army in the battle is impossible There are only ten thousand ash armies.
It seems that the southward invasion of the Eastern Alliance on the southern bank of the Cangluo River has made the army of less than 60,000 soldiers more and more inflated. Despite knowing that the strength of the Tassia tribal alliance is not weak, they dare to take Ten thousand unstable prisoners took to the battlefield.
In any case, the victory of the war in Rome is determined to be achieved. Seeing that the enemy’s advancement is getting faster and faster, Bai Feng also turned his horse and drove the horse to run in front of the main force of the central army, and then run the spiritual power. Loudly encouraged all the soldiers:
"The soldiers in the city of Rome, the enemy troops in front of us are approaching, and you will soon fight with them on this land where you were raised; I know that many of you are fearful in your heart, this is not important.
What really matters is that you understand what you are fighting for! The enemy troops in front of us are troops from the Eastern Alliance on the northern bank of the Cangluo River. As long as they are conquered by the tribe, all the young and strong soldiers will become their cannon fodder, and the old and weak women and children will become slaves.
Take a look at your homeland behind you, think about your parents, wives and family. Do you want your homeland destroyed and your family enslaved? Are you willing to use your own blood and sweat to reclaim the land and become the battlefield raged by the enemy?
Hold up the swords and guns in your hands, let us use our own strength to tell the enemies who want to destroy our homeland, whether their conspiracy can succeed! For everything we love in our hearts, fight to the end! "
"In the end! In the end! In the end! In the end!" The brutal rule of the Eastern Alliance has long been told by the heads of the various legions of these soldiers. Under the inspiration of Bai Feng, they raised their swords in their hands. While shouting the slogan'Fight to the End' loudly, he slammed their shields with the back of his sword.
After the 25,000-strong army that was the main force of the central government was mobilized by Baifeng, Bai Feng turned to the side of Antio and ordered: "Antio, after the enemy is close to within 50 meters, you personally lead the Governor. The guard immediately strikes across the board!"
At the end of the speech, Bai Feng took his four entourages and Webster and Adrien slowly to return from the connection between the First Army and the Tigers to the back of the First Army. At this time, it is not a battlefield ghost. Adrien should be engaged when fighting.
