Three Kingdoms Bandits

Chapter 1177 Take the initiative to retreat
"It's interesting, the Romans are still bloody!" Seeing the Roman army braving the baptism of artillery fire and pressing them firmly, Dongfang Qiang expressed his appreciation for their behavior.

If a country, a nation loses its blood, there is no hope.

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

"Here!" Gao Shun bowed and said, "Iron Armored Battalion, show your true strength and push the Romans back!"

The machine roared, and the armored battalion moved!

A continuous firing machine gun is installed above each tank. At this time, the machine gunner is already in place!

"Charge! Strafe!" Gao Shun boarded the chariot, which represented the official start of the battle of the Armored Battalion.

da da da da...

The machine guns fired, and the sound was like the continuous firecrackers set off during the Chinese New Year!
In front of the chariot, the front of the Roman army advancing in formation was directly shot by machine guns to create a huge gap!In the gap, the fallen corpse was almost smashed into a sieve...

It turns out that this is the true strength of the chariot!
Seeing the Iron Armored Battalion's power, Diocletian hated his teeth, but the matter had come to this point, and they had no choice but to attack and defeat the Central Plains army.

The armored battalion was dispatched, and after a burst of shooting, the offensive and defensive actions on the battlefield were instantly easy. The Roman battle had huge casualties and stopped pressing forward.Because of the Iron Armor Battalion on the Central Plains army, the infantry began to press forward!

With Dongfang Qiang in the center commanding, the three armies of the Central Plains army were activated, the central army moved forward slowly, and the left and right wings were slightly faster, in an encirclement posture trying to encircle the Roman army!
Seeing that Dongfangqiang made the first move, Diocletian naturally wouldn't sit still.

The army of the Central Plains surrounded them majestically, like a huge net wrapped around the Roman army!

To tear this net, Diocletian has two methods!

One is to break through from the front with a strong attack force. However, the former army of the Central Plains army is the Iron Armored Battalion, and there is no army in Rome that can match it.

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

As for the artillery array of the Central Plains army, Diocletian could not judge the location of the artillery array without having commanded the artillery.Therefore, he was unwilling to waste time on things that had no clear purpose, such as looking for artillery formations.

"Tell the barbarian leaders that it's time for them to take action. The main force of the Central Plains army is concentrated in the middle, and the two wings are weak. I hope they can use their full strength!" Diocletian said to the messenger.

"Yes, General, I'll go and inform the barbarians immediately, we will definitely be able to defend Rome!" said the orderly.

The barbarian army was divided into two parts, the left and the right, and they faced the two wings of the Central Plains army and killed them!
Zhang Liao and Zhao Yun were originally worried that they would not get military merit, but now that military merit has come over by themselves, all they have to do is collect it!
"Soldiers, follow this commander to kill the enemy!"

With a flick of Zhao Yun's spear, his bravery erupted, and the soldiers followed Zhao Yun into the barbarian army.

Once Zhao Yun's marksmanship was used, there was no one within two meters around him, and he almost killed him into a vacuum.

In order to kill the general of the Central Plains, the Roman soldiers rushed desperately, but it is a pity that the strength gap between the two sides is too large, and it cannot be made up by numbers.

Zhao Yun wanted to kill ordinary Roman soldiers, no different from chopping melons and vegetables!In addition, he is always guarded by Qilin Legion soldiers, so even though he is rushing fiercely, in fact, his safety is somewhat guaranteed.

On Zhang Liao's side, like Zhao Yun's left wing, the massacre was almost one-sided.If it weren't for the fact that the barbarian army was really large, he might be able to kill the barbarian army.

The contact between the two wings of the two sides is still better than the army of the Central Plains!The balance of victory has tilted towards the Central Plains...

"When the cavalry is dispatched, we must suppress the offensive on both sides of the enemy!"

The barbarian army failed to react, and Diocletian immediately ordered the cavalry to dispatch. He had planned to let the cavalry go out to secure the victory when the barbarian army gained an advantage.

But if the cavalry doesn't restrict the two wings of the Central Plains army at this time, they will lose!Once surrounded by the Central Plains army, they have no choice but to confront each other head-on.

However, in a direct confrontation, how could they be the opponents of the Central Plains army!

The Roman cavalry moved, and Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao immediately turned to the defense, which excited the Roman and barbarian soldiers.

However, before the Roman cavalry had time to kill a Central Plains soldier, there was a deafening sound of horseshoes behind them. It was the horseshoes of the Central Plains that were galloping.

"Don't panic, soldiers, Ma Chao is coming!"

The Qilin 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 power of the Qilin cavalry is not as good as that of the Qinglong Legion and the Xiliang cavalry, it is not something that the Roman cavalry, who are only half-baked in their eyes, can compete with.

After defeating the Roman cavalry, Ma Chao swung his army and turned around, leading the Qilin cavalry to kill in the direction of the Roman central army!
Ma Chao took the cavalry to do the steps that the infantry could not complete for the time being!
"Archers! Block them!"

Diocletian saw Ma Chao's intentions clearly at a glance. When he gave an order, the Roman archers assembled instantly, and the arrows in their hands shot out, pointing directly at the Qilin cavalry...

"Call~ the whole army listens to the order and turns to the left!"

Ma Chao is not stupid, he will not let the soldiers eat this wave of arrows hard!
Qilin cavalry is not a personal guard battalion, they don't have heavy armor, only light and delicate fish scale armor!
Although this kind of equipment is good, it can't do what the personal guard camp does, ignoring the damage of arrows!
Bringing the unicorn to pass the rain of arrows, the Roman archers wanted to install arrows and shoot again, but Ma Chao didn't want to give them a chance, so he rushed towards the position of the Roman archers in a blink of an eye!

Seeing such a wonderful operation of the Qilin cavalry, the infantry were very happy. As long as the cavalry can open the hole, they can expand their advantage and defeat the enemy!
"Soldiers, show your courage, follow the cavalry, and charge!"

Zhao Yun raised his arms and shouted, 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, all under the control of the commander!

……

……

When the battle has reached this level, it is no longer just a battle between soldiers, but also a competition between Dongfang Qiang and Diocletian for their ability to control the overall situation.

Dongfang Qiang has Xiang Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, Ma Chao, Zhao Yun and other fierce generals available, all of them are brave and unstoppable on the battlefield, which is a great encouragement to the morale of the soldiers.

On the other hand, Diocletian could not send any decent generals by himself if he lost his position as the Roman monarch.

He relied on human sea tactics. He originally planned to use the barbarian army to drag the two wings of the Central Plains army, concentrate all the Roman elite, and launch a blast attack on the Central Plains Central Army's central army!
Attack the Central Plains army from the front, and inspire the fighting spirit of their Roman soldiers!
But it's a pity that the barbarian army couldn't hold back the two wings of the Central Plains army, but was killed by the two wings of the Central Plains army, so he had to send cavalry to contain it!
What is infuriating is that their cavalry were stared at as soon as they were dispatched. In front of the Central Plains cavalry, their Roman cavalry did not have the slightest sense of presence...

At this moment, Diocletian could clearly feel Dongfang Qiang's ability.

It seems that every step of his plan was guessed by Dongfang Qiang, and a corresponding solution was made!
From the very beginning of this battle, he, Diocletian, fought very passively, restrained almost everywhere!Everywhere is at a disadvantage!

Fortunately, the Roman army and the barbarian army had a large number of people. Even if they were temporarily disadvantaged, they would not lose the competition immediately.

Diocletian desperately wanted a victory, and Rome desperately needed a victory to keep going...

"Order! Order the Iron Armored Battalion to attack the enemy's central army. The infantry corps quickly followed up. The left and right armies approached in the middle, and the cavalry continued to harass on both sides to contain the enemy's flanks!"

Seeing that the Roman army is at a disadvantage across the board, Dongfangqiang is not going to delay any longer!Their two legions have a total of only 10 people, and the combined Roman and barbarian armies are more than [-]!

If they cannot win this battle as soon as possible, they will eventually retreat.

The Roman army and the barbarian army that are now fighting with them only number about a hundred thousand. Dongfang Qiang is also worried that the Roman army will go around to their rear, or detour to attack the places they have already occupied.

In short, this battle should be resolved quickly!

With the commander's order, Gao Shun led the Iron Armored Battalion on a rampage, crashing into the Roman army all the way!
The powerful impact of the chariot made it impossible for the Roman soldiers to restrain them. They could only watch the chariot rush towards Diocletian!

It's fine that they can't stop the tanks, and the Iron Armored Battalion has only that number of tanks. In this kind of super battlefield with tens of thousands of people, the Iron Armored Battalion is not enough to become an important factor in determining the outcome of the battle.

But behind the Iron Armored Battalion, the infantry of Qilin Legion and Suzaku Legion rushed over, and the Roman soldiers couldn't resist it!This is more embarrassing...

You can't stop iron lumps, and you can't stop living people either!

Diocletian was disappointed with the combat effectiveness of the Roman soldiers!

The army of the Central Plains attacked their central army, and Diocletian had to avoid it!
If he dared to stay where he was, I believe it would not be long before he would be captured by the three generals of the Central Plains army in the city.

Gotta go back!

At this time, Diocletian didn't care about his face, his reputation!He retreated directly with Abdul's personal guards.

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

Only by saving his life and body can he fight for the way out and the future of Rome!
As soon as Diocletian moved, the fighting spirit of the entire Roman army weakened!

The Central Plains army pushed forward with the handsome flag, and the momentum was the same for a while, but their Roman flag didn't matter if they didn't move forward, they actually retreated!

The fighting spirit has weakened. Facing the fierce offensive of the Central Plains army, the Roman soldiers have no intention of fighting anymore!
But at the moment when the Roman army was about to collapse, there was a sound of retreating troops from behind the Central Plains army. The Central Plains soldiers who were so vicious just now ran back immediately!

I don't know what happened to the Central Plains army, the Roman army didn't dare to act rashly, and even Diocletian didn't give any orders.

People from the Central Plains are too good at intrigues and tricks. Speaking of this, Diocletian was afraid.

From this battle, Diocletian realized the power of Dongfang Qiang and the power of the Central Plains army!He felt that he needed more soldiers at his disposal!

Today, Abdul regards Diocletian as the last guardian of Rome, and he will try his best to satisfy Diocletian whatever he wants!

Just like this time, when Diocletian wanted to command more troops, Abdul didn't even think about it, and directly handed over half of the army to Diocletian!

Rome's Barrier, Rome's Last Knight!

This is what the Romans called Diocletian!This title allowed Diocletian to obtain a lot of resources, but the responsibility he shouldered was even greater.

The task of guarding the Roman Empire should be the responsibility of the current monarch Abdullah!But now it's Diocletian's business.

But with military power in hand, what Diocletian did was actually better than what Abdul did!
At least, he stopped the Central Plains army!Although the loss is a bit big!
This battle ended with the Central Plains army taking the initiative to retreat!After the battle, Rome's lack of supplies was exposed. A large number of wounded soldiers could not get good treatment. They tried their best to survive on the battlefield, but they died on the hospital bed after the battle...

Back in Constantinople, Diocletian immediately sought out his sovereign to express his appeal:
"Your Majesty, our army urgently needs a lot of medicine and doctors! We have too many wounded soldiers." Diocletian approached Abdul and said in a tone almost begging.

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

In fact, he didn't know where to find the medicine for Diocletian. If the doctor said it, he could activate it.

However, as the emperor of Rome, Abdul knew that he could not say that he was not good enough. His generals were still insisting, and his soldiers were still fighting with the Central Plains people. He had no reason to escape!

With Abdul's promise, Diocletian calmed down and took Abdul's personal guards to the front to investigate the military situation.

……

……

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

After all, the protective gear of the Central Plains army is very sophisticated, and the weapons of Roman soldiers are difficult to cut off their protective gear at once.

Therefore, most of the soldiers of the Central Plains army were injured!
"Taishanghuang, why did you suddenly order the army to retreat?" Back in the camp, Dongfang Qiang found Wu Shun had arrived.

"East, Constantinople, you can't take it in a single battle, don't be in a hurry! Now Abdul has assembled more than [-] troops near here. If you want to wipe them all out, you'd better lure them all out." " Wu Shun said.

With such a large number of Roman troops, it may not be enough to fight a big battle!So what Wu Shun meant was to pull out those troops one by one and defeat them one by one!

"But Taishanghuang, this is too time-consuming, right?" Gan Ning said.

"It's been so long, so why not wait?" Wu Shun said with a smile.

If you play according to what he said, although the speed is slow, the victory lies in safety and small losses.
