Xingyue, another world recasts the glory of human nature

But the army he led was a coalition army. In addition to cavalry, there were more infantry.

Once they retreat, the cavalry can rely on mobility to run, but the infantry will never be able to run.In this case, blind retreat is likely to lead to a rout.Unless there is a sufficient number of troops willing to stay for a break.

However, this is simply not possible.

Both legions of the Unsullied are private soldiers belonging to the city lords of the Twin Cities.Nominally, Pusa can completely mobilize the two armies, but once faced with the situation of sacrificing the strength of one side and preserving the strength of the other side, huge differences will definitely arise among the coalition forces.

In the final analysis, the formation of the coalition is based on interests, and interests may diverge at any time.

If you cannot retreat, you will lose if you retreat.Moreover, even if they lose some troops and complete the retreat, the war against Xi'an will come to an end.

But in a head-on fight, when the cavalry is equivalent to being abolished, in this type of battle with a professional army with similar terrain and similar numbers, which is obviously stronger, can your side win?

Psiah was in a dilemma.

The nobles of Tandan and Qiaoya in the rear were still immersed in the dream of carving up Xi'an.Before the coalition forces were formed and set off, Pusiah also thought about winning the battle to gain wealth and a higher status, but the reality gave him a blow in the head.

Chapter 121 Opportunity

The situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, and there is no time to tangle with many decisions. Kazama will not give the Tandanjoya coalition forces a chance to breathe and re-arrange their formations.

The commander of the front battle formation was Poluk. After a round of arrows, he also saw the hesitation of the opponent's arrival.At his order, the infantry phalanx began to move forward.

At the same time, Pusiah finally made a decision, and the cavalry moved quickly towards the flanks of the military formation. The Unsullied Slave Corps served as the vanguard and faced Xi'an's blade.

Seeing this scene, Poluk smiled.

The cavalry of the Silver Shield Mercenary Group were deployed on both sides. At least there was no need to worry about the strength of the cavalry on the front. They only needed to be prepared on the flanks.

And thanks to the terrain of the canyon, there is no need to worry about the opponent's cavalry relying on mobility to get around to the back.Just deploy defensive forces on the front flanks of the military formation.

The United Roman Empire had rich experience in fighting cavalry, which was accumulated from fighting the Parthians in the southeast.

There were many types of Roman military formations, the most famous of which was the tortoise-shell formation.In addition to the turtle shell array, there is also an array dedicated to anti-riding.

After setting up an anti-cavalry array on the flanks, the next step was to enter the infantry confrontation that the United Roman Legion was good at.

After the general made up his mind, the Tandanjoya coalition was also ready to fight.

The array of Unsullied slave soldiers began to move forward.

Looking at this scene, Poluk nodded lightly.

In fact, this is the right decision.

The advantage of Rome lies in the sufficient number of bows and arrows and abundant long-range attack methods.

If the opponent wants to eliminate Rome's advantage, it must quickly close the distance and enter a close-quarters battlefield.

"The level of the generals on the coalition side is pretty good..."

According to the intelligence that Bai Mao had gathered, the leader of this coalition came from the continent across the sea.That continent gave birth to many military talents due to years of war.

"One day, we, Rome, will set foot on that continent with brilliance..."

Poluk thought this in his mind, but in reality he pulled out his sword and ordered:

"Archers prepare, straight ahead - release!"

Under Poluk's roar, the archers of the first echelon loosened their bowstrings, and arrows swarmed toward the enemy formation in front.

bump!

With a muffled sound, the Unsullied at the front of the coalition formation fell down like wheat. Even though they had raised their round shields, the narrow round shields could not protect the vital parts of their bodies.

After his companion fell, the Unsullied in the rear stepped on his companion's body and began to run forward.Try hard to close the distance between you and the opponent's army.

Seeing this scene, Poluk's expression did not change at all, but he raised his hand again.

"Archers, prepare! Directly ahead! Throw!" The archers of the second echelon pulled their bows to the full moon and threw arrows forward at an upward angle.

Arrows fell like a rain of dense arrows, and the figure of the Unsullied who was running at the front suddenly stagnated, and fell more than half.

In this short moment, hundreds of corpses were thrown on the land in front of the canyon and trampled by their companions who followed.

Two rounds of arrow rain, and after such losses, the coalition forces finally had a chance to fight the Roman legions head-on.

"Soldiers, move forward and tear the enemy in front of you into pieces."

Poluk raised his long sword and let out a long roar. At the same time, the golden eagle flag in the military formation was raised and waved, and the long and deep horn sound was blown.

"This battle will be won!"

With Poluk's final encouragement, the Roman soldiers also started running and collided with the Unsullied. Black and red, the two torrents collided on the outside of the canyon.

.........

"here we go...."

Pusaiah, who led the cavalry to the flank of the military formation, looked at this scene with a solemn expression.

After the soldiers from both sides collided, dozens of blood flowers burst out from the center of the battlefield, but the casualties mainly came from one's own Unsullied Ones.

The slave soldiers had no morale to speak of, and now they were at a physical disadvantage. The only thing that was commendable was their numbers.

However, the terrain limited the length of the battle line, so that the enemy could not lose at all despite being outnumbered.

Pusiah's previous observation was not wrong. This was indeed a truly professional army that had broken away from production.

Moreover, the soldiers among them are basically veterans of hundreds of battles. They can also look after the formation and support their teammates during the fight.

In contrast, although the Unsullied were fearless and did not care about life and death, their military formation coordination was far different from that of the Roman legions opposite them.

Due to their numerical superiority, the coalition forces have not yet shown much signs of decline, but once time goes by, it will be a matter of time before the Unsullied Corps, which is already at a disadvantage in terms of physical strength, will fall into a disadvantage.

The only thing they can hope for now is for the Unsullied to fight tooth and nail while their physical strength has not completely declined, using their lives to gain some numerical advantage and push back the opponent.

But even if the opponent is driven back, as long as the opponent's military formation is not completely defeated, under the cover of the archers, they can still slowly retreat to the fortifications in the valley.

From this point of view, the opponent seems to be in an invincible position.

On the contrary, for the Tandanjoya coalition, the initial strategic goal of conquering Xi'an and even entering the Forbidden Land has been unable to be achieved.

Being undefeated is already the greatest victory.

Thinking of this, Pusaia felt a huge headache.

Although the situation on the battlefield is ever-changing, no one can guarantee that there will be a certain outcome before the dust of a war has completely settled.However, the sudden situation has led to a drastic change in goals. Originally, from conquering Xi'an to being able to retreat safely with the coalition forces, it is considered a victory. Such a gap is difficult for even Pusaia himself to accept, let alone those who have been stable for a hundred years and regard themselves as Very high city-state nobles.

Even if the best result can be achieved, if An Ran retreats from this place, it is estimated that the group of nobles will regard it as the greatest shame after returning.

Nobles are difficult to serve. No matter whether it is that continent or this bay, the nobles are basically a mess.

Thinking of this, Pusaiya shook his head.

Now is actually not the time to think about this. Whether they can preserve enough military strength to retreat safely is still a question. If the coalition forces lose most of them at this station, then the situation of Xian and Tandanjoya will be completely turned upside down.

Tandan and Qiao Ya no longer need to think about robbing Xi'an, but worry about being pulled down from the throne by Xi'an's master.

At present, the only chance to change the overwhelming disadvantage lies with himself and the mercenaries of the Silver Shield Mercenary Group under his command.

As long as we can break through the flanks of the opponent's formation, open a hole, go straight into the opponent's main formation, and separate the opponent's formation, then this battle can still be fought.

Chapter 122 Rushing into the formation

There wasn't much time left for Pusiah. The soldiers of the United Roman Legion were more ferocious than he imagined, and their morale was definitely not what slave soldiers trained with current weapons had.

If the Unsullied Legion is defeated head-on, then even if the cavalry he leads can break through the opponent's flanks and penetrate the opponent's main formation, it will be useless.

The opponent has strong discipline and is basically a veteran. The situation is likely to be that the cavalry will be surrounded by the opponent and will be surrounded and killed.

Psiah was anxious, but when he came to the flank of the United Roman Legion, he had a headache again.

The opponent had all the advantages of the location and the main battlefield, and the Silver Shield Mercenary Group was tightly guarded.A large number of resisting horses were deployed on the opponent's center and rear wings, blocking the cavalry's attack, while hundreds of people were separated on the flanks and put into defensive postures.

The popularity of large shields in the Roman army was very high. This large shield with a length of 120CM and a width of 80CM was very defensive.

The opponent's formation on the flanks made good use of this heavy shield.

One soldier squatted down while holding a large shield, and another soldier stood behind him and placed the large shield diagonally on the upright shield.

Hundreds of soldiers cooperated in this way to form a once heavy human wall, firmly protecting the flanks of the Roman army.

The brave mercenaries under Pusa's command rushed towards the opponent's military formation. The lances used the kinetic energy of the horses to poke at the big shield, but the big shield only shook slightly.It was not broken, but the spear passed out from the gap between the shields directly pierced the horse's abdomen.

Seeing this scene, Pusiah's already ugly face became even more ugly.

He was certain that breaking through the opponent's shield formation would require at least a heavy cavalry unit with full plate armor and both men and horses armed to the teeth.

A simple charge of light cavalry will never be able to break through the opponent's formation.

One of Pusaia's guesses was verified again. The enemy was indeed very good at dealing with cavalry.

But now that the sword is on the string, it has to be fired.

On the battlefield of this world, individual force can create miracles.A legend in the mercenary world, the Eagle Group was employed by the Kingdom of Mitlan and fought against the main force of the Kingdom of Yoda on a frontal battlefield. The stormtrooper captain of the Eagle Group penetrated the Yoda Kingdom’s military formation head-on. , killing the enemy's general, thus directly reversing the original disadvantage and establishing a chance of victory.

The stormtrooper captain of the Eagle Regiment can do it, and he also has the opportunity to repeat the opponent's deeds in this remote place.

"Follow me!"

"The Silver Shield Mercenary Group will not stop here."

Pusaiah clenched the war hammer in his hand and drove his horse towards the opponent's shield array. Heavy blunt weapons were the nemesis of such large shields.

After experiencing the baptism of two secret medicines, Pusaiah's strength and physical strength have already far exceeded that of ordinary warriors. He rode his horse to the shield formation, and when faced with the spear thrust out from the gap, Pusaiah swept away the warhammer in his hand. Then he cut off all the spears.Then he smashed the warhammer against the square shield, and the hard and thick shield shattered instantly.

The force of the war hammer continued unabated and landed directly on the chest armor of the opponent's soldier, directly sweeping the opponent away.

Pusaiah relied on his personal force to successfully open a gap in the shield array.

Seeing Pusaiah suddenly coming in, the soldiers behind the shield formation moved forward without hesitation and thrust their spears at Pusaiah.

Psiah did not dodge or evade, and faced him head-on. His war hammer swept across, and the combined Roman soldiers were swept away like sacks.

Seeing that their leader was leading the troops so bravely, the mercenaries behind Pusaiya were also morale-boosted and poured in through the gap opened by Pusaiya.

The situation here was observed by the centurion responsible for flank defense, and the reserve team was immediately mobilized to surround the cavalry rushing into the formation and block the gap.

"too weak!"

Pusiah roared, and as he roared, the blood began to boil in his body.

Most of the people blocking him were knocked into the air by the hammer in an instant. In less than a minute, more than a dozen soldiers died under the hammer.

The centurion in charge of the flanks had a nervous expression under his helmet.

Pusaiah rushed into the formation like a ferocious beast. If he was allowed to plunder in the formation for a while, the flanks here would definitely collapse.

The other party's plunder must be stopped immediately, and a bigger hole will be opened.

"All reserve teams come with me and must stop that man here."

The centurion leader drew the sword from his waist and gave the order.

Putting all the remaining strength on it was the only thing he could think of and do now.

However, a hand pressed on his shoulder at this moment.

Even though he was wearing armor, the centurion could still feel the weight of this hand.

It was a gauntlet made of gold—a man wearing gold armor and a gold mask came to his side.

"Master Avisbronn..."

The centurion reacted instantly and called out the person's name.

"Centurion, you have done a good job, but there is no need to be so anxious. The soldiers in the reserve will fill the gap. As for the enemies who enter the formation, I will deal with them."

"Yes."

The centurion took the order, changed his order, and breathed a sigh of relief.

Heroes from the human realm possess powerful power. For the current human realm and Rome, they are the most stable pillars.

The fierce general who rushed into the formation had power beyond the limits of the human body, but he was definitely no match for the human hero.

"Baptism...a warrior who breaks through the limits of mortals."

Avisbronn looked at Pusaia not far away, his eyes under the mask were extremely cold.

To be honest, he was not interested in this kind of warrior. What he was really interested in were the spell casters among the natives of this world.

A warrior like this might be more interesting to his colleague who is an alchemist master.
