Li Jue, Guo Si and others led their troops to pursue the attack not very quickly. Their single-shot crossbows had already been strung up, and they were waiting to concentrate their firepower. In so many years, they have only done this a few times, but the empire
Being a pioneer is not something you can just accept.
The crossbow bolts of the strong crossbow were pressed, the three three-foot short spears were slung on the backs, the charging arrows were replaced with Dawan Liangju, Ma Kai was put on, and the super long spear that was a full foot long was taken, and the others were all replaced with long spears for charging.
, coupled with a backup beheading sword and a machete for close combat harvesting.
It can be said that since Li Jue followed Dong Zhuo, except for the time when he defeated Liangzhou powerful Beigong Boyu and Bian Zhang, this time can be regarded as the most complete equipment. However, thinking about that time, it may be regarded as a rare defeat for the cavalry.
.
Similarly, Li Jue and others also put on a whole suit of armor, and put on two layers, because this time it was the three of them who were at the forefront, and unfortunately, if we only talk about combat effectiveness, the three of them are not that much.
excellent.
The speed of the Xiliang cavalry cannot be said to be very fast, but after all, they are one man and three horses, and they can run much faster than the short legs of the Roman infantry. It didn't take long to see the black line on the horizon.
Similarly, the Roman scout cavalry also saw the cavalry coming from the horizon at a neither fast nor slow speed. It was not as wild as the storm, but the sense of force that pushed neatly and flatly made the Romans rise up like the waves.
The feeling of overwhelm.
After the scouts reported the news to Ganassis, the entire Romans lined up and stopped. Unlike ordinary Roman regiments, the infantry of Ganassis's Roman regiments were all experienced and well-equipped young soldiers.
, and at the same time, the rear team also has veterans who have participated in a large number of wars and assist in command.
Under the transfer of these people step by step, Li Jue had not even rushed within a mile of the Roman legion, and the entire legion was already ready for battle.
Rows of spears formed a continuous formation. All the heavy infantry were outside, looking coldly at the cavalry charging towards them, as if a war was about to break out.
Li Jue and others are not fools. After seeing the uniform movements of the Roman infantry, they knew that this battle was not easy to fight. This kind of infantry that can automatically find its position without anyone's command was the last time they saw it.
When working with Tao Qian to put down the rebellion in Xiliang.
But since he is a vanguard, he still needs to chew on hard bones. Li Jue led the leading heavy cavalry and stopped a mile away. Guo Bang and Fan Chou rushed out from behind Li Jue with a clear understanding of mind, heading towards the Roman soldiers from left to right.
The military formation circled around and did not launch an attack.
Almost at the same time, under the command of the veterans behind them, the Roman soldiers in their prime lowered their bodies and pressed down with their spears, contracting their formations to prepare for defense.
At this time, Li Jue no longer looked at the Romans' arrangements from the perspective of an enemy, but from the perspective of a recorder, remembering every move of Rome. He would record every point exposed by Rome in this battle.
After Guo Bang and Fan Chou fought their way from left to right, they did not quickly approach the Roman soldiers. Instead, they circled the Roman soldiers at a slightly faster speed than before, looking for weaknesses.
This speed is not too fast, there is no pressure on the cavalry, and the distance between the two sides is about one mile. Unless it is something like a chariot, there is no weapon in this era except bulky trebuchets that can project this distance. Of course, the elite
Except archers.
However, things like trebuchets can only be taken away after being disassembled, or they are made on-site during the siege. To haul them is basically a dream, and the difficulty is too great.
Therefore, the Romans did not take any drastic action against the Xiliang cavalry's surrounding behavior, but just silently defended themselves.
The simple circular formation is completely different when used by different people. Just like now, in the hands of Ganassis, it has almost shown the power to turn decay into magic.
A silver-gray glow surrounded the Romans' defensive front, and the power of cloud energy also condensed on the spears. As Li Jue estimated, if the Romans could conquer their own country, the legions they would bring were at least conventional elites.
grade.
Guo Bang and Fan Chou did not complete the task of circling around. When they reached a quarter of the way around, they understood that there was no way to fix the matter today. The commander-in-chief of Da Qin was quite outstanding, and they themselves
There are no flaws in the military formation.
While turning their horses around, Guo Bang and Fan Chou both made the same move, squeezing the distance between them little by little, while the Romans stood there steadily like a silent rock, not making any movement at all.
.
Until the squeeze reached sixty steps, a dangerous distance that could be charged with just one breath, countless arrows suddenly erupted from the Roman military formation. Guo Bang and Fan Chou also pulled back and dodged as if sensing danger.
All arrows.
Even if the Romans' short bows could not penetrate their defenses, Guo Bang and Fan Chou still remembered Li Ru's teachings and should not use their own defenses to test other people's attacks unless it was unavoidable.
Ganassis watched with great solemnity as the two black torrents slid past like tidal waves. The caution of the Han army made him clearly understand that this battle was not easy to fight.
[No, the Han army was too cautious, and the ambushing longbowmen had no chance to use it.] Ganassis could already see the sweat on the foreheads of the infantry. Even if they were elite soldiers, they were surrounded by such a powerful enemy, but they did not launch an attack.
Under such circumstances, the psychological pressure is also extremely heavy.
Guo Bang and Fan Chou were advancing and retreating, and recently they had even made a charge. This kind of behavior put more and more pressure on the Romans. The butcher's knife was raised and released, which was better than a direct strike.
It still feels uncomfortable to swing down.
After Guo Bang and Fan Chou merged, they merged behind Li Jue with a big swing. Both of them were extremely dignified. They almost used all the skills Li Ru gave them, but there was no result, so what was left was
The last way.
"Zhi Ran, no, Da Qin is a very hard nut to crack." Fan Chou stared straight ahead and said without squinting.
"If he is not strong, is there any value for us to test him? If he has a strong bone, then smash him!" Li Jue coldly picked up the crossbow from his horse, "The Romans' infantry configuration is really good, but
But if you want to stop us like this, you are thinking too much!"
All the Xiliang cavalry held the spear in their left hand, clamped the barrel of the gun with their arms, and fired the crossbow in their right hand. Their eyes were extremely determined. When the wind and sand blew past, Li Jue roared, and the Xiliang cavalry turned into a black dragon and launched an attack on the Romans.
charge.
Almost at the same time, the Romans made adjustments and formed a formation facing Li Jue's Romans with their spears on the ground, ready to defend against the cavalry charge.
However, at this moment, Fan Chou and Guo Si led two cavalrymen to fight out at a faster speed. A trumpet stretched out in just a few breaths, and then when the Roman arrows were shooting at Li Jue and others in front,
Everyone raised their right hands, and the collision of empires began!
