Chapter 218 The Concern of Sky City
"Dare to speak like this to the conqueror, it shows that you are a warrior." An Linyuan cherished the hero.
"However, heroes are used to set off more heroic people."
"Storm Palm!"
An Linyuan did not hesitate, "Since you asked me to kill you, then accept the arrival of death."
Thousands of palm prints fell from the sky, hitting thousands of soldiers of the auxiliary legion as they left the city, piercing their bodies. Thousands of soldiers died instantly.
The Gallic nobles at the city gate saw it and their legs were too weak to stand.
"Surrender! Open the city gate! Ask the gods who walk on earth for forgiveness."
An Linyuan looked at the large group of Gaulish nobles kneeling in front of the city gate and announced: "King Yuntian has granted you the power to manage Gaul. Do your job well. If you dare to rebel, these thousands of corpses in front of the city gate will be your end.
"
Then he led the army and marched to London.
On the way to London, An Linyuan always felt that something was wrong. After thinking for a long time, he sent his follower Xing Tian back to Yuntian City:
"You rush back to Yuntian Shangcheng at starry night and guard the city gate. Send me an order to move all the statues of gods and ancestors worshiped in Yuntianxia City to Yuntian Shangcheng and build a sacrificial altar. Reshape the original position of the sacrificial altar in Yuntianxia City
A statue."
"After you arrive at Yuntian City, purchase as much grain and grass as possible, and immediately transport all stored grain and grass to the Yuntian Shangcheng warehouse."
"If someone attacks the city, send someone to deliver a message to me as soon as possible. You rely on the walls of Yuntianxia City to fight back layer by layer. It is strictly forbidden to go out of the city to meet the enemy. Do not go out of the city to fight under any circumstances!"
An Linyuan’s final words:
"If Yuntianxia City is lost, retreat to Yuntian Shangcheng. The total number of people in Yuntian Shangcheng cannot exceed 200,000. You guard the city gate, and other troops will cooperate with you to defend the city. You must hold on until I return."
After An Linyuan sent his follower Xing Tian away, he felt a little more at ease.
"I hope Queen Mother Xi's prediction will not come true."
"Ahead is Londinium." An Linyuan led eight hundred diamond dragon warriors to slowly reach their destination. After this battle, the Western European plains will be completely captured.
The Roman governor of Britain stationed at Londinium learned that the European continent was being attacked by a large army from the east, and a small force had already captured Gaul.
In panic, in order to resist An Linyuan's small eastern force, all the garrison stationed on Hadrian's Wall were mobilized back to Londinium for defense.
"That small force of just a few hundred people outside the city took down the Danube defense line, the Rhine defense line, and the province of Gaul? I don't believe it." the governor said on the wall of Londinium.
"It is said that the leader of the army was a god." The information from the legion commander came directly from the defeated legionnaires, which is relatively accurate.
"Will gods intervene in mortal wars? I don't believe it," the governor said.
"Legends are not trustworthy. They are often exaggerated countless times. Among you legion commanders, who will lead the legion to destroy that small barbarian army?"
"Governor, don't be careless. The four legions of the Danube fortress group, the twelve legions of the Rhine fortress group, and the tens of thousands of auxiliary legions in the Gallic province were all destroyed by this small force under the city."
"I don't believe the rumors. I think we can destroy them by sending one legion out. The auxiliary legion will go out of the city and destroy them." The governor first sent an auxiliary legion out of the city to fight.
An Linyuan was not in a hurry. News that the attacking armies from the north and south had not yet arrived, and there was still time to deal with the Roman legions on Great Britain.
"Array up!"
"Blue Fist Formation"
"Increased blood value recovery"
An Linyuan doesn't even apply the auxiliary status of attack and defense, so there is no need to deal with the auxiliary army.
An Linyuan was prepared to rely entirely on hand-to-hand combat to win this victory.
Eight hundred Diamond Dragon Warriors lined up in a row, a thousand-meter battle line standing firmly outside the city.
"charge!"
The entire battle line started running towards the auxiliary army.
The auxiliary corps was composed of a mixture of infantry and light cavalry. The ones led by An Linyuan were all light cavalry.
The Diamond Dragon Warrior is equipped with a long-handled sword. After the horse starts running, the Diamond Dragon Warrior holds the sword tightly with both hands. At the moment of contact with the enemy, the man takes advantage of the horse's speed and slashes with the sword. The spear that blocks the opponent's face is directly hit.
A gap was made!
The war horse was extremely fast, leading the Diamond Dragon Warrior into the Roman auxiliary legion formation through the gap. The war horse knocked down several rows of soldiers in front, and the soldiers under the horse's hooves were either killed or injured.
The Diamond Dragon Warrior was riding on a horse, condescendingly wielding a long-handled sword. Wherever the sword touched, flesh and blood flew everywhere. The auxiliary legion had never seen such a fierce fighting formation. Seeing stumps and broken arms all around, they turned around in fear.
run.
After cutting down several more soldiers who were lagging behind, An Linyuan ordered the pursuit to stop and allowed the remaining hundreds of soldiers to flee into the city.
"You are indeed brave!" The Roman governor of Great Britain saw this scene on the city wall.
"I can't tell what kind of god he is! He has the same mortal body!"
"The auxiliary legions are too weak. We won't fight without a fight. The regular Roman legions will follow! I can't believe that there are tens of thousands of people in the city and hundreds of them are afraid of him!" the governor gritted his teeth.
The city gate opened again, and this time out came the neatly marched and well-trained regular Roman legions.
Each team has 20 people in rows and 6 people in rows. The distance between two people is 2 meters. The distance between each team in the row is about 30 meters. The teams are arranged in a staggered manner.
Three small teams line up to form a large team.
The first team composed of young soldiers lined up; the second team composed of mature soldiers lined up; and the third team composed of adult soldiers lined up.
This time ten groups came out, a neat Roman legion.
The first row advances first, and when the distance is 20 yards, the heavy javelin is thrown. After the javelin is thrown, the soldiers of the first row begin to charge. The soldiers of the first two rows fight with the enemy with short swords. The soldiers of the following 6-7 rows continue
Throwing a javelin.
A few minutes later, the second row composed of mature soldiers replaced the first row, and the first row retreated to rest. The light infantry composed of young soldiers was responsible for covering the wings and rear of the legion, and at the same time, they also retrieved usable javelins and replenished them for the retreating troops.
First row.
An Linyuan observed the composition of the Roman legions:
Young soldiers: lack of training, formed into light infantry, equipped with ordinary javelins and darts.
Young Soldiers: Have certain combat experience and form the first line of the legion. They are equipped with two heavy javelins (Roman heavy javelins), a broad-bladed short sword and a round shield.
Prime soldiers: around thirty years old, they are the core of the army and form the second column of the legion. They are equipped with two heavy javelins, a broad-bladed short sword and a round shield.
