Chapter 1255: Take the initiative to retreat


"It's a little interesting, the Romans are still a little bloody" Seeing the baptism of artillery fire of the Roman army, firmly pressed over, Dongfang Qiang praised their behavior.

If a country or a nation loses its blood, there is little hope.

"General Gao Shun, it's up to you next," Dongfang Qiang ordered.

"Huh" Gao Shun bowed down and said: "Iron Battalion, show your true strength and press the Romans back" The machinery roared, and the ironclad battalion moved Above each vehicle, a repeating machine gun is installed, and at this time, the machine gunner is already in position "Charge and strafe" Gao Shun boarded the chariot, which represented the official start of the battle of the ironclad battalion.

Dada-da The sound of machine gun fire is like a continuous stream of firecrackers set off during the Chinese New Year In front of the chariot, the front of the Roman army advancing in formation was directly strafed by machine guns into a huge gap, and the corpses that fell to the ground were almost smashed into a sieve It turns out that this is the real strength of the tank Seeing the ironclad battalion wielding power, Diocletian hated it first, but the matter had come to this point, and they had no choice but to attack head-on and defeat the Central Plains army.

The ironclad battalion was dispatched, and after a burst of strafing, the attack and defense on the battlefield were instantly easy, and the Roman battle array suffered huge casualties and stopped pressing forward.

On the side of the Central Plains army, because of the relationship between the ironclad battalion, the foot soldiers began to press forward With Dongfang Qiang in the middle command, the three armies of the Central Plains Army were activated, and the Central Army slowly moved forward, and the left and right flanks were slightly faster, showing an encirclement posture to encircle the Roman army Seeing that Dongfang Qiang took the lead, Diocletian naturally would not sit still.

The Central Plains army was surrounded in a dignified manner, like an incomparably huge net entangled around the Roman army To tear through this net, Diocletian had two options One is to break from the front with a strong attack, but the front army of the Central Plains army is the ironclad battalion, and there is no army on the Roman side that can match it.

In this case, Diocletian could only use the second way, let the barbarian army attack from both sides, intercept the two wings of the Central Plains army, and send cavalry at the same time to cut off the two wings of the Central Plains army.

As for the artillery array of the Central Plains army, no artillery was commanded, and Diocletian could not judge the location of the artillery array first.

Therefore, he did not want to waste his time on such a thing as looking for an artillery position without a clear purpose.

"Tell the barbarian leaders that it's time for them to strike, the main forces of the Central Plains army are concentrated in the middle, the two flanks are weak, I hope they can show all their strength," Diocletian said to the herald.

"Yes, General, I'll go and inform the barbarians at once, and we will be able to defend Rome," said the herald.

The barbarian army was divided into two parts, left and right, and killed the two wings of the Central Plains army Zhang Liao and Zhao Yun were originally worried that they would not have military merit, but now that the military merit came by themselves, all they had to do was collect it "Soldiers, follow the generals to kill the enemy" Zhao Yun flicked his spear, and his martial spirit exploded, and the soldiers followed Zhao Yun into the barbarian army.

As soon as Zhao Yun's marksmanship was used, there was no one within two zhang of his side, and he was almost killed into a vacuum.

In order to kill the Central Plains general, the Roman soldiers rushed desperately, but unfortunately the difference in strength between the two sides was too large, and it was not something that could be made up by numbers.

Zhao Yun wants to kill ordinary Roman soldiers, which is no different from chopping melons and vegetables, plus he is guarded by the soldiers of the Qilin Legion at any time, so don't look at him rushing fiercely, in fact, his safety is still a little guaranteed.

Zhang Liao's side, like Zhao Yun's left wing, was almost one-sided in a massacre.

If it weren't for the fact that the barbarian army was really numerous, he might be able to kill the barbarian army.

The contact between the two wings of the two sides, or the balance of victory for the Central Plains army, has been tilted in favor of the Central Plains "When the cavalry is dispatched, it is necessary to suppress the offensive of the enemy on both sides" The barbarian army failed to react, and Diocletian immediately ordered the cavalry to be dispatched, and he had planned to let the cavalry out to lay the victory when the barbarian army gained the upper hand.

But at this time, if the cavalry did not limit the two wings of the Central Plains army, they would lose, and once they were surrounded by the Central Plains army, they had no other way but to fight head-to-head.

However, head-to-head, how are they the opponents of the Central Plains army The Roman cavalry moved, and Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao immediately turned to the defense, which made the Roman and barbarian soldiers very excited.

However, before the Roman cavalry could kill a Central Plains soldier, there was a deafening sound of horses' hooves behind them, and it was the kind of war horse in the Central Plains with hooves nailed to the horseshoe running.

"Don't panic, don't panic, Ma Chao is coming" The unicorn cavalry launched a surprise attack on the Roman cavalry from the rear, and with Ma Chao personally leading the troops, the Roman cavalry collapsed with little resistance.

Although the combat effectiveness of the Qilin cavalry is not as good as that of the Qinglong Legion and the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, it is not something that the Roman cavalry that is only half-hung in their eyes can compete.

Defeating the Roman cavalry, Ma Chao turned around and led the unicorn cavalry to kill in the direction of the Roman army The steps that the foot soldiers could not complete for the time being, Ma Chao took the cavalry to do it "The archers block them" Diocletian saw Ma Chao's intentions at a glance, only to see that he gave an order, and the Roman archers instantly gathered, and the arrows in their hands shot out, pointing directly at the Kirin cavalry "Call on the whole army to obey the order and make a detour to the left" Ma Chao is not stupid, he will not let the soldiers eat this wave of arrows The Kirin cavalry is not a personal guard battalion, they have no heavy armor on their bodies, only light and delicate fish scale armor Although this kind of equipment is good, it can't do the same as the pro-guard battalion, ignoring the damage of arrows With the unicorn to let the arrow rain, the Roman archers still wanted to load the arrows and shoot again, but Ma Chao was unwilling to give them a chance, so he directly rushed towards the position of the Roman archers in a blink of an eye The foot soldiers were overjoyed to see such a wonderful operation of the Kirin cavalry, as long as the cavalry could open the opening, they could extend their advantage and defeat the enemy "Soldiers, show courage, follow the cavalry, charge" Zhao Yun raised his arms and shouted, and there were countless followers On the left and right sides of the battlefield, from the dispatch of the barbarian army on the Roman side to the current march of the Central Plains army, it all happened in the blink of an eye.

The situation on the battlefield is ever-changing, and it is all under the control of the commander The battle has reached this level, and it is no longer only a battle between soldiers, but also a competition between Dongfang Qiang and Diocletian to control the overall situation.

Dongfang Qiang has Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, Ma Chao, Zhao Yun and other fierce generals available, and it is difficult to be brave on the battlefield, which is a very great incentive for the morale of the soldiers.

Diocletian, on the other hand, could not have sent any decent generals himself if he lost his position as Roman monarch.

He relied on crowd tactics, and he initially planned to use the barbarian army to drag the two flanks of the Central Plains army, concentrate all the Roman elites, and carry out a blasting attack on the Chinese army of the Central Plains Attacking the Central Plains army from the front aroused the fighting spirit of their Roman soldiers However, it is a pity that the barbarian army could not hold back the two wings of the Central Plains army, but was killed by the two wings of the Central Plains army, so that he had to send cavalry to contain it What is infuriating is that their cavalry was targeted as soon as they were dispatched, and in front of the Central Plains cavalry, their Roman cavalry did not have the slightest sense of existence Dongfang Qiang's ability, at this moment, Diocletian can feel it very clearly.

It seems that every step of his plan has been guessed by Dongfang Qiang, and corresponding solutions have been made From the very beginning of this battle, he Diocletian fought very passively, and he was restrained almost everywhere and fell into disadvantage Fortunately, the Roman army and the barbarian army were numerous, and even if they were temporarily inferior, they would not lose the contest immediately.

Diocletian desperately wants a win, and Roma desperately need a win to continue "The herald ordered the ironclad battalion to storm the enemy's central army, the infantry corps quickly followed, the left and right sides of the army were close to the middle, and the cavalry continued to harass on both sides, pinning down the enemy's flank forces" Seeing that the Roman army was at a disadvantage on all fronts, Dongfang Qiang was not ready to delay, and their two legions totaled only 100,000 people, and the combined Roman and barbarian armies were more than 500,000 If they can't win this battle as soon as possible, they will eventually have to retreat.

The number of Roman and barbarian armies fighting them was only about 100,000 now, and Dongfang Qiang was also worried that the Roman army would go around their rear, or take a detour to attack the places they had already occupied.

In short, this battle should be resolved quickly With the commander's order, Gao Shun led the ironclad battalion on a rampage, crashing all the way into the Roman army The powerful impact of the chariot made it impossible for the Roman soldiers to restrain it, and they could only watch as the chariot rushed towards Diocletian They can't stop the chariots, and the chariots of the ironclad battalion are only that number, and in this kind of super battlefield with hundreds of thousands of people, the ironclad battalion is not enough to become an important factor in determining the outcome of the battle.

But behind the ironclad battalion, the foot soldiers of the Kirin Legion and the Suzaku Legion rushed over, and the Roman soldiers couldn't resist, which was more embarrassing You can't stop the iron lumps, and you can't stop the living Diocletian was first disappointed in the fighting power of the Roman soldiers The Central Plains army attacked their Chinese army, and Diocletian had to avoid it first If he dares to stay where he is, I believe that it won't be long before he will be captured by the three generals of the Central Plains army in the city.

Gotta go back Diocletian didn't care about any face at this time, and he retreated directly with Abdul's personal guards.

He told Abdul that he wanted to go to war with his own guards, but in fact, he borrowed it to protect his safety.

Only by preserving his life and body will he be able to fight for the way out and the future of Rome As soon as Diocletian moved first, the fighting spirit of the entire Roman army weakened The Central Plains army is handsome banner pressing forward, and the momentum is unparalleled for a while, and their Roman handsome banner does not move forward, but actually retreats The fighting spirit weakened, and in the face of the ferocious offensive of the Central Plains army, the Roman soldiers had no intention of fighting again However, at the moment when the Roman army was about to collapse, the sound of the Central Plains army was heard from the rear of the Central Plains army, and the Central Plains soldiers, who were extremely vicious just now, immediately ran back I don't know what happened to the Central Plains army, the Roman army did not dare to act rashly, and even Diocletian did not give any orders.

The people of the Central Plains are too good at intrigue and trickery, and when it comes to this, Diocletian is afraid of it first.

From this battle, Diocletian first realized the strength of the Eastern Strong, and the strength of the Central Plains army, and he felt that he needed more soldiers for him to drive Now, Abdul sees Diocletian as the last guardian of Rome, and he will try to satisfy whatever Diocletian wants first Just like this time, Diocletian wanted more command of the army, and Abdul didn't want to think about it, so he directly handed over half of the army to Diocletian The barrier of Rome, the last knight of Rome This was the Roman name for Diocletian, a title that allowed Diocletian to get a lot of resources, but with a greater responsibility.

Originally, the task of protecting the Roman Empire was supposed to be the business of the current monarch Apple, but now it became the business of Diocletian.

But with military power in hand, Diocletian did it first better than Abdul At least, he had stopped the Central Plains army, although the losses were somewhat large In this battle, after the Central Plains army took the initiative to retreat and ended the battle, the embarrassment of Rome's lack of supplies was exposed, and a large number of wounded soldiers could not be treated well, and they tried their best not to die on the battlefield, but they died on the hospital bed after the battle Returning to Constantinople, Diocletian immediately approached his monarch to express his appeal: "Your Majesty, our army is in dire need of a lot of medicine and doctors, and we have too many wounded soldiers."

Diocletian found Abdul first and said in an almost pleading tone.

"Don't worry, the doctor will arrange it for you right away, and the medicine will take some time," Abdul said.

In fact, he didn't know where to find medicine for Diocletian, and if the doctor was to do so, he could start it.

However, as the monarch of Rome, Abdul knew that he could not say that he could not do it, his generals were still insisting, and his soldiers were still fighting with the Central Plains, and he had no reason to escape With Abdul's promise, Diocletian reined in his mood and took Abdul's personal guards to the front line to investigate the military situation.

The Central Plains army returned to the army, counted the losses, and killed and wounded thousands of people, most of whom were wounded.

After all, the armor of the Central Plains army is very sophisticated, and it is difficult for the weapons of the Roman soldiers to cut their armor at once.

Therefore, most of the officers and soldiers of the Central Plains Army were wounded "Emperor Taishang, why did you suddenly order the army to retreat" Back to the camp, Dongfang Qiang found that Wu Shun had arrived.

"East, Constantinople, you can't take it in a war, don't be in a hurry Now that Abdul has gathered more than fifty troops around here, if you want to annihilate them all, it is best to lure them all out."

Wu Shun said.

The Roman army was so numerous, and it was not necessarily possible to finish a big battle, so Wu Shun meant to draw out those armies bit by bit and break them individually "But the Emperor, this is too time-consuming," Gan Ning said.

"It's been so long, so what's the matter," Wu Shun said with a smile.

If you fight according to him, although the speed is slow, it is better to be safe and the loss is small
