Roman Empire of Total War
Chapter 257: "·Fight against the enemy"
If you don’t cry, your eyes won’t be charming.
——Sophia Roland (Famous Italian actress)
The elite cavalry of the Essini Kingdom, who came from the storm, did not choose the left and right wings of the Roman city army as a breakthrough point, but directly charged toward the middle road army where Bai Feng was located. They seemed to want to defeat Bai Feng’s largest middle road in one fell swoop. Army.
The commander-in-chief of the 20,000 cavalry generals made such a decision, but he was not arrogant that he believed that the 20,000 cavalry under his command could defeat the more than 50,000 troops of the Roman city. After all, this general was the last battle. Personal experience.
In the battle named Bai Feng's Battle of the Long Bow, the long archers on the flanks of the Roman city and the frontal pikemen's phalanx left a nightmarish memory for all the Essini kingdom soldiers who had survived from the battlefield. .
Therefore, in the opinion of this cavalry general, his 20,000 cavalry would have to pay a very heavy price to break through the lancers of the left and right wings of the Roman city; even so, his cavalry would not necessarily be able to break through the Roman city. Pikemen Phalanx.
In comparison, the middle army with no pikemen in the Roman city is more suitable as a breakthrough point. In addition, the large number of long archers in the middle army is the real goal of this cavalry general!
The approaching enemy cavalry made the central army of Rome very solemn; the twelve Roman youth teams under Li Xini were drawn by Bai Feng to the rear of the Eagle Corps, and the Hughes Aisini Corps Bai Feng was also transferred to the left and right wings of the First Army.
At this time, it was the Eagles Legion that was at the forefront of the Middle Route Army; the Eagles Legion with 17,000 soldiers was arranged in an extremely dense formation with twenty lines of defense for more than 500 meters. Used to resist the charge of enemy cavalry.
Immediately after the Eagles, there were the twelve teams of Roman youth soldiers with javelins in their hands, and finally the ten thousand long archers under Perez; when the enemy cavalry arrived within two miles, Bai Feng immediately Raising his right hand, the trumpeter behind him blew the heated bugle.
As the bugle sounded, the twelve teams of Roman youths deployed behind the Eagles immediately split in two, quickly circling from the wings of the Eagles to the front of the Eagles, and scattered in a loose formation. In front of the Eagles.
Two miles, one mile, 800 meters, 500 meters, when the enemy cavalry entered the long archer's 400-meter range, the two thousand long archers of the Eagles began the volley first; Li Sini's Roman Youth Army , Paris's long archer, still waiting immobile.
The roaring arrow rain made the Essini Kingdom cavalry who fully charged to withstand the first round of arrow rain baptism; the part of the cavalry covered by the arrow rain also suffered heavy casualties under the back of the horse, as long as the cavalry fell off the horse Will be trampled into mud immediately.
The cavalry's powerful impact is not only aimed at the enemy, but also for the soldiers of his own side. It is also extremely fierce; and the large-scale cavalry that is vigorously running, it is completely impossible to stop the charge in a short time.
The cavalry who fell into the horse during the arrow rain was immediately overwhelmed by the robe rushed up behind them; the distance of 400 meters for the cavalry was just a dozen breathing time. The cavalry enraged by the arrow rain More fierce.
The long archers of the Eagle Legion fired two rounds of arrow rain again, and the cavalry of the Essini Kingdom had entered the range of the javelins of the young army 50 meters away; Li Xini, who seized the opportunity, quickly ordered The young army under their own hands struggled to throw the first round of javelins.
The dense javelin was just thrown out, and the young soldiers immediately pulled up the second javelin that was inserted on the ground, and threw it out again. After two rounds of javelin, these young army soldiers turned around and quickly evacuated without hesitation. Too.
The volley of nearly two thousand javelins was more than twice as sharp as the longbower’s volley; the arrows shot by those longbowmen in the past can only shoot at most cavalry, and few can form a horse Effective killing.
The javelin's attack is not so simple. The young soldiers' javelins were not able to reach the cavalry; but the galloping cavalry rushed into the range of the javelin, and countless horses were rushed on the spot. The coming javelin was shot.
Two consecutive rounds of javelins fired, causing heavy casualties to the charged Cavaliers of the Essini Kingdom, and even disrupted the cavalry's charge deployment; those horses that were shot by the javelin, their bodies rushed to the rear of the cavalry. Caused great obstacles.
At this time, the cavalry had rushed into the range of 80 meters of the Eagle Legion. Bai Feng, who was always concerned about the dynamics of the battle situation, raised his right hand again; the sound of the heated trumpet sounded again, and the tens of thousands of Peres’ headquarters The archers immediately started their volley.
The depth of the Twenty Lines of Defense of the Eagle Legion is about 100 meters, and the withdrawn Roman Youth Army and Aisini Legion also have a depth of 100 meters; except for the distance of these two hundred meters, the long archer of Paris can also Cover the Arrow Rain within 200 meters in front of the Eagles.
The 10,000 Longbower's volley is much stronger than the 2,000 Longbower's volley. Only in the first round of the Arrow Rain, the enemy's cavalry with a slightly reduced speed was killed and wounded in the middle; however, the Cavalry of the Kingdom of Aisini Without the slightest timidity, they charged with no return.
The soldiers of the Roman Youth Army had just rushed back to their place, and the violent Essini Kingdom cavalry rushed into the battle of the Eagles; the crazy cavalry, using their powerful impact, broke through in one fell swoop. Six lines of defense for the Eagles!
The reason why the vital seventh line of defense was not broken is that on the one hand, the fighters of the Eagles fought hard to resist, and on the other hand, the middle of the enemy cavalry suffered heavy losses under the long arrow rain of the long archers, causing the front Charged cavalry cannot be effectively replenished.
The fighters of the Eagles fighting hard to fight back and the enemy cavalry struggling to fight fiercely in their battles; the cavalry who lost their mobility soon became active again, but the spears in their hands were still sharp. .
The conquered cavalry always had a great advantage. The soldiers of the Eagle Legion would have to pay much more than Bai Feng imagined to defeat this cavalry; Peres’ long archer was still shooting. , To reduce the pressure on the soldiers ahead.
Realizing that it was almost impossible to break through the enemy cavalry generals of the Roman city’s defense line, after the cavalry under his command completely lost the power and mobility of the attack, he wanted to lead his troops to withdraw from the anxious battle with the Eagles and re-enter. The long archer flanks to attack.
While he was bravely killing the enemy and commanding the cavalrymen to slowly retreat, Bai Feng gave the order to the Adrien around him; the next second, Adrien ran with his nine battlefield ghosts under his command To the enemy general.
Bai Feng was still planning to give Adrian this time, but the caster of Webster snatched the credit; the ghosts of the battlefield, who had run away, had not been close to the enemy generals, ten casters. The'Juling Blade' issued at the same time killed the enemy general.
