Three Kingdoms Bandits

Chapter 1146 Roman Phalanx
Hearing Dongfang Qiang said that the Persians were in ambush, both Zhang Liao and Gao Shun found it inconceivable that with such a huge advantage, they could still defeat the Romans' design, 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 the Romans will not let them go if the Persians are defeated.

For this reason, the three of Dongfang Qiang unanimously decided to set off with an army to rescue the Persians.

"General, the last general asks for orders, lead the Iron Armored Battalion first!" Gao Shun said out of the queue.

The Armored Battalion drove chariots and was not afraid of the interception of the Romans. It was very suitable to be used as a pioneer to explore the road.

In such a situation where the enemy's situation is unknown, it is indeed the best choice to use the Iron Armored Battalion to explore the way, so Dongfang Qiang agreed to Gao Shun's request for battle, and ordered the Iron Armored Battalion to go first, the Suzaku Army infantry followed, and the artillery troops were in the rear Once the artillery formation is built, once the position of the Romans is established, it will be another feast of artillery fire.

……

……

Alexander, the king of Persia, always believed that Rome lived up to its former glory. He believed that the externally powerful Roman Empire had long been decayed and could not stop his Persian army from attacking.

But who would have thought that he invited the Central Plains Legion to coordinate the attack, but he still fell into the trick of the Romans.

Looking at the phalanx of the Roman Empire that was constantly oppressing from the front and rear sides, the Persian King Alexander could only hope that the Central Plains army would come to the rescue soon!
Their cavalry was also exhausted in the collision with the Roman phalanx!Their pawns have no resistance in front of the Roman phalanx!
The forest of thorns formed by the three-foot-long spears, yes, the Persians could not even get through the way to retreat...

He had just won a big victory, and when he was chasing the enemy with emotion, he found that his side was surrounded by the enemy.

The sudden change in mentality affected the combat effectiveness of the Persian Legion. Alexander's order could not cover the entire battlefield, and the Persian Legion could not stop the advance of the Roman phalanx.

The howling is accompanied by the disappearance of life, and the sound of steel clashing, playing a tragic death movement...

The Romans turned from defeat to victory, which was planned long ago. They are slaughtering the barbaric Persians who invaded their land!
The killing was carried out in an orderly and fast manner, and the Persians desperately resisted, only in exchange for the speed with which the Roman phalanx was introduced!

Facing the spears of the Romans and being surrounded, the resistance of the Persians seemed pale and powerless!

……

……

Outside the battlefield, a Roman legion was staring nervously ahead, because there, the Iron Armored Legion that terrified them appeared.

"Go and tell the king that the battle between us and the Persians must end as quickly as possible. The people from the Central Plains are coming, and we may not be able to stop them for long!"

A Roman general spoke to a soldier in front of him.

When the Iron Armored Battalion arrived, they started fighting without saying a word!
Gao Shun came to the rescue. Seeing that it was the Romans blocking the way, he didn't even need to think about it. The chariot started to run over him!

And the Romans will not sit still, they want to stop Gao Shun's armored battalion and let their monarch Diocletian destroy more Persians.

The body of flesh and blood blocks 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 armored chariots cannot be stopped by simple manpower.

Therefore, the first wave of interception by the Romans ended in failure!Gao Shun commanded the Iron Armored Battalion to easily pass through the Roman defense line.

When criss-cross ditches appeared in front of the chariot, Gao Shun knew that the mission of the Iron Armored Battalion had been completed.

It would be very troublesome for the chariot to get stuck in the trench, so the Iron Armored Battalion stopped advancing and waited for the Suzaku Legion's infantry in the rear!

Zhang Liao easily crossed the trench with his infantry, and took over from Gao Shun the task of exploring the way and rescuing the Persians.

Having dug a trench to block the iron battalion, the Romans 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 and stop the Central Plains people!

The Roman soldiers here formed a phalanx, holding three-foot-long spears in their hands!
The first row is held horizontally, with the spear parallel to the ground.The second row of spear points is raised upwards, and the third row is further raised. The entire phalanx looks like a hedgehog!
If you bump into it rashly, it will definitely not please you!

Even Zhang Liao, who is as knowledgeable as Zhang Liao, was shocked when he saw this phalanx at first glance, and hurriedly ordered the soldiers to stop advancing!
Seeing the three-foot-long spear shining with cold light, Zhang Liao was instinctively unwilling to let the soldiers go head-to-head!

Unless the Iron Armored Battalion or the White Tiger Legion are here, it will be a big loss to fight with the Roman phalanx in front of you!

What the Suzaku Legion is good at has never been close combat!

"Array of crossbowmen!"

"Send a signal to General Dongfang!"

The two orders were issued at the same time, and the crossbowmen in the infantry formation of the Suzaku Legion quickly lined up. At the same time, three loud arrows were shot into the sky, making a sharp and ear-piercing cry!

Seeing that the Central Plains army responded quickly, the Roman phalanx immediately moved forward, preparing to push back the Central Plains army and push the Central Plains back out of the trench.

But since the Suzaku Legion came, how could they leave so easily?

"Fire arrows!"

Zhang Liao gave an order, and the crossbowman pulled the trigger, and the arrows shot!
The target is the Roman phalanx slowly approaching!
The spear and hedgehog array must be uniform to produce power, so the moving speed of the Roman phalanx is really unflattering!

They haven't moved very far, and the crossbowmen of the Suzaku Legion have fired two rounds of crossbow arrows.

The spear and hedgehog array may be invincible in melee combat, but Zhang Liao did not have close contact with them, but ordered the soldiers to give full play to their strengths, and exchanged ideas with the Romans with crossbows...

Being shot by crossbow arrows, the thin leather armor of the Romans couldn't defend at all, and the soldiers in the front row kept falling down, making their moving speed even slower.

More and more soldiers fell, and the Roman general in charge of the phalanx panicked. He didn't expect the long-range attack from the Central Plains to be so powerful, and the Central Plains people assembled and changed formations so fast.It horrified him.

If he can't get in touch with the Central Plains people, then all his soldiers will die in vain. 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 is the goal of everyone in the Roman phalanx!

"The arrow array moves back, let the arrows go!"

Zhang Liao kept ordering to release arrows, and the number of people in the Roman phalanx became smaller and smaller!
But even so, Zhang Liao didn't let the pawns charge!
The trenches at the rear have already been filled by the soldiers, and soon, the tanks of the Iron Armored Battalion will be able to drive over. At that time, all spear phalanxes are just for display!
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

There were two deafening roars, and two shells exploded among the Roman crowd. The violent air waves lifted the Romans into the air, and the originally rigorous and orderly formation was torn apart.

The three loud arrows just now called for the support of three shells!

As soon as the cannon rang, the Romans trembled and dared not move forward!The scene of being baptized by artillery fire before is still vivid in my mind...

"General Qi, all the trenches have been filled, and the Iron Armored Battalion has arrived!" A soldier ran over excitedly and reported to Zhang Liao.
