Chapter 551: Killing the God Generals in a Row! [Subscribe]
Woo-woo!
The Roman war trumpets sounded across the battlefield.
When they set out, they were divided into two columns, front and back, with a total of 50,000 troops.
At this time, the rear army pushed forward, put into effect linear tactics, and deployed reinforcements.
Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao's subordinates also divided their troops and went to meet the Roman reinforcements to block them.
"The Wei people seem to be very familiar with our tactics."
The Roman generals whispered:
"Fortunately, General Titus responded in time and mobilized the First and Third Legions..."
"Look at the front army, the Wei cavalry broke through our army formation from the flank!"
On the battlefield, the Roman front army's phalanx was penetrated diagonally by troops led by Huang Zhong and Taishi Ci.
The powerful impact force of the cavalry completed the impact and cutting of its corners almost instantly.
Some Roman infantry were dispersed and left the formation.
After Taishi Ci and Huang Zhong broke through the corners of the enemy formation, they immediately turned their horses' heads, moved in a semicircle on the battlefield, turned back to attack the corners of the Roman phalanx again, and completed the second cut in a blink of an eye.
Once the Roman army was broken up and lost its formation, the Wei army would be able to form a local strategy of outnumbering the enemy.
Cavalry vs infantry, easily complete the cannibalization.
The formation of the heavy infantry changes slowly. It can even be said that they only have one formation and it is difficult to change.
Because the whole queue is linked together and fits together.
When they were attacked by highly mobile cavalry and wanted to change their formation, they had to first retract their spears layer by layer from the back to the front.
Then they collectively change direction, build and place spears in rows, and form a battle formation to have strong combat effectiveness.
When the cavalry changed positions quickly, the Roman heavy infantry phalanx could not keep up.
At this time, the rear army needs to rely on linear tactics to fill the gaps for the front army and provide support, or the cavalry on both wings can provide assistance.
However, their cavalry began to move when faced with the arrow attack, but were blocked by Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao and their troops.
The reinforcements from the rear tried to advance, but were blocked by the troops that the Wei army had separated from them.
Therefore, when Huang Zhong and Taishi Ci led their troops to charge over, the Roman vanguard watched helplessly as their flank was attacked and was unable to respond in time.
Huang Zhong and Taishi Ci's troops drew a semicircle and charged back, going back and forth to tear apart the enemy's formation.
The Roman front line was in complete disarray.
"Your Majesty, is the strategy you are using to have our army alternate between the Dragon Locking Formation and the Arrow Array, moving in a semi-circular pattern to break through the enemy's corners?"
Zhuge Liang was well versed in the changes in the formation. He observed the enemy formation and talked with Cao Cao.
"The Roman military formation was first improved by the Macedonians on the basis of the Greek military formation.
The Romans further improved the Macedonian army formation, adding javelins, cavalry and other means to make up for the shortcomings.
Their army formation is difficult to move, and their wings are weak points. We will use our flexibility to break them, magnify their weaknesses, and nibble away at them step by step."
Zhuge Liang nodded slightly.
The military strategists of all dynasties in China have studied the art of changing military formations to perfection.
It is said that everything can change without departing from its roots.
The Roman army formations also followed the same basic rules.
Cao Cao made full use of the flexibility of his cavalry and broke their flanks, attacking the enemy at their weak point.
The Romans' tactic was to deploy troops bit by bit, but Cao Cao concentrated his superior forces and directly sent out his generals to lead the army.
The advantage of doing this is that it can save your own consumption and allow you to quickly establish a winning advantage.
The current confrontation between Rome and Wei is actually the same as when the refugee army entered Yanzhou and was attacked by Cao Cao, who used the same tactic to cut and nibble away the enemy bit by bit.
At that time, the number of refugee troops was too large, so Cao Cao used the flexibility of the cavalry to constantly consume them from the flank and the rear.
Until the 'giant snowball' became smaller and smaller, and was finally completely defeated.
The Wei army suffered almost no losses.
The same is true of the Roman army today.
It’s just that its eliteness and combat level have risen by several levels.
battlefield.
By the time the Roman First and Third Legions arrived, the Roman cavalry that Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao had first engaged had been defeated.
The two turned to meet the legions of Lucius and Augustus.
[Your general Zhao Yun has activated the mythical skill: Dragon Gall! This skill can break through the enemy's formation, go in and out seven times, and fight for a long time without getting tired]
[The Tiger and Leopard Cavalry led by Zhao Yun matched his military strength and were promoted to Legendary Tribes. Historical Strong Army Sequence: 17]
[Zhao Yun's combat power increased, combat power value: 99]
Cao Cao glanced at the entry, thinking that the combat effectiveness of Zhao Yun, Dian Wei and others, the growth of Wei's national fortune, and the degree of evolution of his own dragon soul complemented each other and were almost synchronized.
Previously, the combat power values of Zhao Yun, Dian Wei, and Huang Zhong were all close to 98 at their peak.
At that time, Cao Cao's dragon soul evolution also had a corresponding progress.
Now that his dragon soul has evolved to level 99, the peak combat power of these generals has also increased.
This change is obviously not a coincidence.
Boom!
Where the two armies faced each other, Zhao Yun thrust out his Phoenix Spear, and with the sound of the phoenix's cry, he carried an unparalleled bravery.
As Lucius was fighting with him, he felt a bright silver spear occupying his consciousness.
A phoenix bird that looked like it was made of bright silver appeared in his sea of consciousness.
Its sharp beak and feathers trembled, transforming into endless spear tips.
Using spearmanship to transform into a shape, forming a spiritual attack, it is extremely mysterious.
puff!
At the last moment, Lucius relied on his own divine power to break free from Zhao Yun's spear coverage.
But he was already injured, and his face was as pale as gold paper.
Zhao Yun's attacks followed one after another, with the tip of his spear stabbing and changing in various ways.
On the other side, Zhang Liao led his troops to engage in battle with the Roman Third Legion.
A layer of blood light swirled around Zhang Liao's troops. Whenever the enemy was caught in the range of the blood light, they would immediately become weakened, their reactions slow, and they would be quickly hacked to death.
With blood lingering around their bodies, their military might is almost concrete, a unique force of the mythical tribes.
Behind the Roman army, Theus observed the battlefield.
But the Wei army mobilized their legendary military strength and created more than one bloody team.
Zhang Liao, Gao Shun's Xianzhen Camp, and the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry led by Zhao Yun were all surrounded by a faint glow of blood.
And the blood light became more and more intense and obvious as they fought.
"Cicero, you lead the Fourth Heavy Infantry Legion to support the retreat of the front army!" Theus ordered.
"Retreat?" Severus said, "We have just started a battle, why should we retreat? If the first battle is not favorable, the other side will be stronger and the next battle will be more difficult."
Theus said in a deep voice:
"Look at the battlefield. The first and third legions have been blocked. The 50,000 troops that attacked from the front are on the verge of collapse due to the arrow attacks and cavalry attacks of the Wei army."
“The strategies used by the enemy commander are targeted everywhere and ensure they have the upper hand.
The soldiers under his command were covered in blood and their fighting spirit was so concentrated that our army could not match them and could only be gradually eroded."
“If we don’t retreat now, the number of troops involved in the battle will increase, the losses will be even greater, and it will eventually turn into a major rout.
We won't even have the chance to withdraw our troops and stabilize our position. It's better to withdraw our troops now while we still have a chance to fight again!"
"Do you want to consume all my Roman troops here?!"
Facing the question of Theus, a murderous look flashed across Severus' face:
"Do you know who is the Lord of Rome?"
The voice of the great elder sounded in Theus's ears:
"Your Majesty and I have brought the praises of the gods. We will not lose this battle!"
Theus was shocked: "You are crazy. If the Praise of the Gods fails, it will be the Twilight of the Gods. We will have no way out!"
The great elder shook his head: "But if we can win, we will gain the fertile land of Parthia. The national strength of our Roman Empire will double.
It is worthwhile to invoke the praises of the gods."
Theus' heart was beating fast, but he remained silent.
Severus took over the command again and said:
"Xius, you lead the Second Legion and join the battle!"
The commander of the Second Legion, Casius, was a middle-aged man with a stern face and wearing dark silver armor.
His arms and legs were noticeably longer than those of an average person, and he had two two-handed swords on his back, which was very impressive.
He and the commander of the Fourth Legion, the extremely tall and strong Cicero, led their troops into battle at the same time.
Although half of Rome's legions have not been deployed yet.
But at the general level, all the best players have emerged.
The top four legions all entered the battlefield.
As soon as Cicero and Crius came on the field, Dian Wei, who was behind Cao Cao, stepped forward and challenged him:
"Your Majesty, I failed to kill the fool last time. This time I will kill him."
Before Dian Wei finished speaking, Xu Chu laughed and said, "Da Dian, are you shorter than others? You have the nerve to call others stupid, aren't you the same?"
Dian Wei sneered: "Yes, you are shorter than me."
Xu Chu was stunned.
He is about the same height as Dian Wei.
Dian Wei means that neither of us should laugh at each other. If I am a big fool, then so are you.
Cao Cao and others all smiled.
These two guys still have the mind to bicker before the battle.
"Your Majesty, I also request to go into battle!" said Xu Chu.
Dian Wei: "Let one of us stay to protect His Majesty, and I will fight the two of them alone!"
Cao Cao looked at Dian Wei, then at Cicero and Crius who were leading the regular troops on the opposite side.
The opponent's combat power and related information were pushed by the entries and flashed before Cao Cao's eyes.
"Dadian, you go ahead. The other two are weaker than you, but they should not be underestimated."
"Zhongkang, you lead the heavy cavalry and work with Dadian to defeat the enemy's army."
Dian and Xu agreed at the same time.
When Xu Chu gathered two hundred cavalrymen and rode out to charge, Dian Wei had already rushed into the battlefield while running.
Cicero on the opposite side fixed his eyes on Dian Wei from a distance, raised his hand and made a gesture of inviting a fight, showing no sign of weakness.
Soon, Cicero also stepped out from the Roman formation, strode forward and ran towards Dian Wei!
Boom-boom-boom!
The footsteps of both sides stomped on the ground, and the entire battlefield seemed to be shaking, like two rhinos charging into battle.
As they charged and ran, the ground exploded and it seemed as if a strong wind was following the two of them.
The momentum was extremely terrifying.
As the two men crossed the battlefield, the troops on both sides of the battle all dodged in horror.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the two were getting closer and closer, a hundred feet, fifty feet, thirty feet... the speed of both sides increased suddenly.
Boom!
A loud explosion like thunder.
The two collided with each other, and a ring-shaped air wave spread out from their collision point.
Cicero's muscles were tense and he held on for a moment, then retreated under the impact of Dian Wei's force.
In an instant, Dian Wei threw hundreds of punches.
Among the enemy and us, only Cao Cao, Severus, Theus and a few others saw the details of the confrontation between the two sides.
Dian Wei used the momentum accumulated from running hundreds of feet and combined all his strength to strike back, breaking Cicero's defense with one blow.
Cicero's armor was completely shattered, but he still refused to retreat.
But it is already the last gasp.
Dian Wei then threw a punch, completely breaking his defense.
Bang-bang-bang!
Under Dian Wei's punch after punch, Cicero's chest collapsed and his forehead was pierced by a fist, leaving him no chance of survival.
With his skills, if he didn't confront Dian Wei head-on, he might be able to fight with Dian Wei for a while with the impact force accumulated from running a hundred feet.
However, a head-on confrontation resulted in his defense being quickly broken and he was killed.
Click!
Another match also ended in a win.
The famous Roman general Lucius was pierced through the forehead by Zhao Yun's Chaofeng Spear.
In just three or five breaths, the Romans lost two great generals!
Severus' heart sank to the bottom of the valley.
His face was gloomy, and he picked up a brocade box from his golden chariot.
The great elder, Theus, was shocked: "Are we going to use the praise of the gods now?!"
At the same moment, the dragon soul in Cao Cao's consciousness was about to come out, and the dragon roar sounded, "Let Rome hear the dragon roar of my Great Wei!"
The dragon soul soared into the sky and appeared above the battlefield.
