Hearing Dongfang Qiang say that the Persians were ambushed, Zhang Liao and Gao Shun both felt incredible, such a big advantage, they could still be in the design of the Romans, and the Persian king was too eager for quick success.
But at this moment, the Suzaku Legion is still an ally of the Persians, and if the Persians are defeated, the Romans will not let them go.
For this reason, Dongfang Qiang and the three unanimously decided to march out and go to rescue the Persians.
"General, the last general asks for orders, lead the ironclad battalion first" Gao Shun went out.
The ironclad battalion drove chariots and was not afraid of Roman interception, so it was very suitable to be used as a pioneer to explore the way.
In this situation where the enemy situation is unknown, it is indeed the best choice to use the ironclad battalion to explore the road, so Dongfang Qiang approved Gao Shun's request for battle, and ordered the ironclad battalion to go first, and the Suzaku Legion infantry then pressed up, and the artillery unit was located in the rear to build an artillery array, once the position of the Romans was established, it would be a feast of artillery fire.
Alexander, the king of Persia, always thought that Rome had lived up to its former glory, and he believed that the outwardly powerful Roman Empire had long been rotten internally, and could not stop the onslaught of his Persian army.
But who would have thought that he invited the Central Plains Army to coordinate the attack, but he still fell into the tricks of the Romans.
Looking at the phalanx of the Roman Empire that was constantly pressing from the front and back, Alexander, the king of Persia, could only hope that the Central Plains army would come to the rescue soon Their cavalry also collided with the Roman phalanx, exhausting their foot soldiers in front of the Roman phalanx, without resistance The forest of thorns formed by the spears that were three feet long could not even open the way for the Persians to retreat He had just won a great victory, and when he pursued the enemy without emotion, he found that he was surrounded by the enemy.
The sudden change of mentality affected the combat effectiveness of the Persian legions, Alexander's orders could not cover the entire battlefield, and the Persian legions could not stop the advance of the Roman phalanx.
The howl was accompanied by the passing of life, and the sound of steel clashing played a tragic death movement The Romans' transition from defeat to victory had been planned for a long time, and they were slaughtering the barbaric Persians who had invaded their land The slaughter proceeded in an orderly and rapid manner, and the Persians resisted desperately, only in exchange for the speed introduced by the Roman phalanx Faced with the spears of the Romans, encircled, the resistance of the Persians pale and powerless Outside the battlefield, a Roman legion was staring nervously ahead, because it was there that the ironclad legion that had terrified them appeared.
"Go and tell the king that the battle between us and the Persians will end as quickly as possible, and that the Central Plains are coming, and we may not be able to stop for long."
A Roman general said to a soldier in front of him.
The ironclad battalion was killed, and the fight started without saying a word Gao Shun came to the rescue, and when he saw that it was the Romans blocking the road, he didn't have to think about it at all, the chariot started and ran over directly And the Romans were not going to sit idly by, they wanted to stop the ironclad battalion of Gaoshun and let their monarch Diocletian destroy some more Persians.
Flesh and blood block the torrent of steel It can only be said that the Romans also have a brave side, but the gap in strength is huge, and the ironclad chariot cannot be stopped by simple manpower.
As a result, the first wave of interception by the Romans ended in failure, and Gao Shun commanded the ironclad battalion to easily pass through the Roman lines.
When a series of trenches appeared in front of the chariot, Gao Shun knew that the task of their ironclad battalion was accomplished.
It would be troublesome for the chariot to get stuck in the trench, so the ironclad battalion stopped advancing and waited in place for the Suzaku infantry in the rear Zhang Liao easily crossed the trench with his foot soldiers and took over the task of finding the way and rescuing the Persians from Gao Shun.
After digging trenches to block the ironclad battalions, the Romans also left an additional force in the rear, which was to participate in the siege of the Persians before being shelled.
But now, Diocletian let them stay here first, and stop the Central Plains The Roman soldiers here formed a phalanx, and in their hands they held spears that were three feet long The first row is held horizontally, with the spears parallel to the ground.
The tips of the spears in the second row are raised upwards, and the third row is raised again, and the whole phalanx resembles a hedgehog If you bump into it, you will definitely not be pleased Huan had seen a wide range of knowledge, such as Zhang Liao, and was also taken aback at first sight of this phalanx, and urgently ordered the soldiers to stop advancing Seeing the three-zhang long spear with cold light, Zhang Liao instinctively didn't want to let the soldiers touch it Unless it's the Iron Battalion or the White Tiger Legion here, it will be a big loss to engage the Roman phalanx in front of you What the Suzaku Legion is good at is never melee combat "Crossbowmen Array" "Send a signal to the Eastern General" The two orders were issued at the same time, and the crossbowmen in the infantry formation of the Suzaku Legion quickly lined up, and at the same time, three arrows were shot into the sky, emitting a sharp and piercing chirp Seeing that the Central Plains army reacted quickly, the Roman phalanx immediately moved forward, preparing to force back the Central Plains army and force the Central Plains back to the outside of the trench.
But since the Suzaku Legion is here, where will it be easy to leave "Shoot the Arrow" Zhang Liao gave an order, and the crossbowman pulled the trigger, and the crossbow arrow was fired The target was the Roman phalanx, which was slowly approaching The spear hedgehog array had to be uniform in order to be powerful, so the movement speed of the Roman phalanx was really flattering They hadn't moved far yet, and the crossbowmen of the Suzaku Legion had fired two rounds of crossbow arrows.
The spear hedgehog array may be invincible in close combat, but Zhang Liao did not make close contact with him, but ordered the soldiers to give full play to their strengths and use crossbow arrows to exchange their experiences with the Romans The Romans' thin leather armor was no longer protected by crossbow arrows, and the soldiers in the front row kept falling, making their movement slower and slower.
There were more and more soldiers falling, and the Roman general in charge of the phalanx panicked, he didn't expect the long-range attack of the Central Plains to be so powerful, and the speed at which the Central Plains people gathered and changed formations was so fast.
He was horrified.
If he can't reach the Central Plains, then the soldiers under his command will all die in vain, and if they can't stop the Central Plains army, the Persians will escape, and their efforts will be in vain We must stop this Central Plains army This was the goal on the minds of everyone in the Roman phalanx "Arrow Array Retreat, Release Arrows" Zhang Liao kept ordering the arrows to be released, and the number of people in the Roman phalanx became smaller and smaller But even so, Zhang Liao did not give in to the pawn to charge The trenches in the rear, the soldiers have begun to fill in, and soon, the chariots of the ironclad battalion will be able to drive over, and at that time, all spear phalanxes are ornaments "Boom Boom" With two deafening roars, two cannonballs exploded in the crowd of Romans, and a violent wave of air swept the Romans away, and the originally strict and neat phalanx was suddenly torn apart.
The three arrows just now called in the support of three shells As soon as the cannon sounded, the Romans trembled, and the scene of being baptized by artillery fire before they did not dare to advance is still vivid "General Qiyu, the trenches have all been filled, and the ironclad battalion has already come" A soldier ran over excitedly and reported to Zhang Liaoyu
