Chapter 115 Sulla's End
Chapter 115 Sura's Doomsday
"Why haven't the damn Chinese come yet?" Sula, who was determined to teach the Han army a lesson, was very anxious and hoped that the Han army would arrive soon.
However, the Han army did not arrive, and he couldn't help but guessed many reasons, and finally thought, "Damn Chinese people, don't be timid, have they retreated?"
If the Han army retreated, it would be a blessing for the Roman Empire, but Sula himself would not believe this reason.
"Come on!" Sura even wanted to beg.
If he hadn't seen the terrible battle of the Han army in the field, he would have led his army out to find the Han army. Now, he had to endure it, clenched his hands into fists, and exerted too much force, and the back of his hands turned blue.
In fact, the reason why Sula was able to mobilize the army was that Wei Qing deliberately gave him the opportunity. Wei Qing's purpose of letting Sula go was to let Sula mobilize the Roman army so that the Han army could be wiped out completely. Therefore, Wei Qing ordered that the Han army should advance slowly so that Sula could achieve the purpose of mobilizing the army.
In the Han army camp, the Han army camp had already expanded a lot at this time. The reason why the Han army camp was expanded was mainly because there were too many people surrendering to the Han army and they had to expand.
Not only the Roman surrendered soldiers, but also the Thracians and Greeks. The Thracians experienced the terribleness of the Han army and did not dare to confront the Han army, and tried to contact the Han army. The conditions given to them by Wei Qing were not harsh. As long as they helped the Han army, the Han Dynasty would let them live a happy life.
This promise is definitely possible for the Han Dynasty to do. Not to mention anything else, just teach them a little better weaving technology, so that the Thracians can no longer wear furs and cover animal skins. The Han Dynasty does not even need to teach them the most advanced textile technology to achieve their goal. Who said the Thracians were so backward?
Through contact, the Thracians found that the Han army was easy to get along with and not as terrible on the battlefield. They couldn't help but feel relieved. They received Wei Qing's promise and finally decided to surrender to the Han Dynasty.
Thrace, Greece, Alexander the Great, and Rome, never saw such a bright future, so they were naturally happy.
After surrendering, Wei Qing ordered the liberation of slaves. Thrace had many slaves, and could get free and live a normal life. The slaves were naturally very happy and were grateful to the Han army. Thrace's slave owner was very unwilling to be afraid of the Han army's military power, and did not dare to say anything.
As long as they don’t cause trouble, Wei Qing doesn’t care. With the skills of slaves, these slave owners will not be able to do anything.
As for Greece, it was after the Han army captured Athens and had to surrender. Sura needed time to mobilize the army, and Wei Qing certainly would not die. He took this opportunity to order the Han army to attack Greece.
Greece was originally a city-state, generally loose sand. Although ancient Greek civilization was very famous, its strength was too weak, and the Han army completed the divisions of the side divisions. When the Han army entered Athens, Greece was declared destruction.
Similarly, a command to liberate slaves, gaining countless slave responses and support, the Han army easily controlled Greece.
"General Wei, Sula has completed the mobilization of the army and established a camp." Gongsun He came in and gave Wei Qing a thumbs up: "General Wei is really smart, I guess he has been sure of this Sula! There are too many temples before the battle, so I will win this battle!"
"It's not a sure victory, it will definitely make northern Italy empty and unprepared!" Zhang Tong hurriedly corrected.
With the combat power of the Roman legion, he was not the opponent of the Han army at all, so victory was inevitable. If he only won, Wei Qing would not let Sula go. After this battle, all northern Italy fell into the hands of the Han army. Northern Italy fell into the hands of the Han army, so the Han army could threaten Rome from the north.
This is a grand strategic plan. Wei Qing is not only a genius general, but also has a lofty vision. He can grasp the overall situation, which leads to the current situation.
"Maybe, Sula is looking forward to us going! Don't let him down!" Wei Qing pressed his right hand on the hilt of the knife, and his eyes flashed: "Sura's dream is about to wake up!"
In the last battle, the Han army only used cavalry, and neither Modao nor the crossbow formation was useful. Modao and the crossbow formation attacked Yingpan, which would be 100% possible. It was really whimsical to try to stop the Han army's advancement by a mere Yingpan.
Who said that Westerners have never seen the crossbow formation in China?
The powerful crossbow is a powerful weapon for China to enter the world. If you don’t have this family, you will have no other name. This is the advantage of the Han Dynasty!
"Haha!" The generals let out a cheerful laugh.
With an order, the Han army set out and marched towards Sula's camp. The most joyful thing was the Roman surrendered troops. This time they could not only take revenge, but also get their things back. How could they not be happy?
The slaves worked so hard but got nothing. The fruits of their labor became the nobles. They dreamed of getting back the fruits of their labor. They all grinned and kept talking, but when they were excited, they shed tears.
"Rumor!" The sound of thunderous hooves sounded, and a low-hanging dark cloud floated rapidly in the distance.
"Here you! Finally!" Sula, who was extremely brave, felt her blood boiling, and her right hand was tightly clasped on the hilt of the sword, her eyes widened, and she looked at the direction of the Han army's arrival.
The Roman soldiers stood on the passage of the camp, holding their weapons tightly, staring at the front.
Not all the Roman legions here are Roman citizens, the core of the Roman Empire, and the biggest beneficiary of the Roman Empire's wars. They are loyal and absolutely loyal to the Roman Empire. Sula suffered a defeat, which made them extremely unhappy. They had been looking forward to the arrival of the Han army and slaughtering the shame.
In Roman history, there were cases of defeat, but it was not so powerful that the Han army collapsed with just one charge, and the Roman citizens were really ashamed.
After the smooth waterline, there is a red tide, surging, surging rapidly, magnificent, and stunning momentum.
"What a majestic formation!"
"It's much better than the Gallics!"
This Roman legion mainly fought against the Gauls, so naturally compared the Gauls and the Han army. At this time, the Gauls were barbarians in the eyes of the Romans. They rushed up like rushing in battle. Everyone was happy if they won. If they lost, they lost. They had no formation at all. Compared with the Han army, they were far worse.
"This is a strong enemy!" The Roman legion has been through the battle formation for a long time and has extraordinary vision. He can see at a glance that the Han army is not so easy to deal with, and he can't help but put away his contempt.
Just as the Roman legion was looking at the Han army, Wei Qing was also looking at the Roman camp.
"Somewhat strange!" Wei Qing looked at it for a while, nodded: "It's still good!"
The camp in Rome is different from the camp in Han army. The camp in Han army is mainly to prevent enemy attacks. It is not too high, but it is very strong. The camp in Rome is very high, with the camp close to two meters, and there are passages and stairs in the camp for mutual support. In addition, there are also whistles, watchtowers, etc.
Simply put, the Roman camp was equivalent to a temporary castle. It has more functions and is more solid than the Han army camp. It is quite difficult to capture such camp.
This kind of camp is very novel for Wei Qing and others, so I will take a look.
"Sula is not an incompetent person. This camp is like an iron barrel!" Gongsun He also nodded in praise: "If it were the Huns, they would definitely not be able to conquer it. Unfortunately, Sula's opponent is us, and this mere camp can not stop us. Even if it is ten times stronger, we can easily conquer it."
Although the Roman camp was strong, it was built temporarily and mainly made of wood, so it was no match for a real camp. Even a city like Suiyang could not stop the Han army, let alone this camp.
"General Wei, how do you attack?" Zhang Tong asked loudly with a flash of light in his eyes.
"Close the door and beat the dog!" Wei Qing blurted out without thinking.
"Okay!" The generals applauded in unison.
According to the current situation, closing the door and fighting dogs is the best way to stop. Sula concentrated tens of thousands of troops in the camp, and the Han army only needed to defend a few exits, which was enough to lock the Roman legion in the camp. Then, he sent a large army to attack the camp, ensuring that no one could escape.
"Let's fill this trench with soil!" Wei Qing raised his eyebrows and said, "Let them dig the soil for us."
As soon as the order was passed, the Roman surrendered soldiers were busy digging the soil without saying a word and ready to clean up the Roman citizens.
These surrendered soldiers were slaves. Who did they hate the most? The ones they hated the most were Roman citizens. Roman citizens were noble and noble, the foundation of the Roman Empire and the greatest beneficiaries of the Roman Emperor. They could get what they wanted without their efforts. These benefits were naturally made by slaves with sweat, blood, and life.
Therefore, the Roman soldiers who surrendered the most wanted to deal with were these Roman citizens. The vast majority of the Roman legions in Sula were Roman citizens, let alone how happy the Roman soldiers were.
They were more digging than excavators, and they were digging quickly. Wei Qing was surprised to see the digging soil. It was too fast.
This shows that the Han army was very popular with the people and had many supporters. As long as it invaded Rome, it would definitely control the Roman Empire, and Wei Qing was very pleased.
With an order, the Han army surrounded the camp and was incomplete.
Strong crossbows were assembled, standing on the ground like monsters, with glittering crossbow arrows facing the camp, like the sharp claws of ferocious beasts.
"What is that?" Although Sula was knowledgeable, she was the first time she saw the powerful crossbow of the Han army in her life, like a quatrain, and was confused.
"Is that a weapon?"
"Can this be fought?"
"Is it a decoration?"
The soldiers of the Roman Legion looked at the powerful crossbow and couldn't help but guess.
"What is that? Is it a knife?"
"Is there a knife like this?"
The Roman soldiers still didn't recognize Mo Dao, their eyes were wide and their faces were confused.
The Roman Empire had never used a heavy sword like Mo Dao from beginning to end. The Roman sword was famous all over the world, which was the glory of the Romans. For the Roman legion, lightness was their theory. They could not think of heavy equipment like Mo Dao and did not know how to use it.
The Han army had a total of the formation, with Mo Dao's hands in front, strong crossbows behind, and cavalry on both wings, and square formations that surrounded the camp and pan.
The Han army had not yet started a war, and that murderous aura had already spread throughout the sky, making people feel heartbroken.
In this kind of formation, the Han army scattered across the desert, defeated the Huns, defeated the Bendu Kingdom, destroyed the Seleucid Empire, attacked Egypt, and captured Carthage. Is it worth mentioning?
“…”
From Sula to ordinary soldiers, he stared at the Han army's formation in a daze, and was surprised and wanted to speak, but he didn't know where to start.
"They still have such a formation? I thought they were powerful cavalry!" Sula was frightened and couldn't help but reflect: "Am I wrong?"
"Can I keep it?" Sura's confidence was insufficient.
"How do they fight?" Sula kept thinking, but couldn't find the answer.
During the rise of the Roman Empire, the Roman Empire faced many enemies, and its tactics and tactics were not much different from those of the Roman Empire. He had never tried this kind of battle formation from the East, so he was really unsure.
Not only Sura was not sure, but even the Roman soldiers were unsure. They did nothing except staring at the Han army.
"No matter how the Chinese fight, I will respond to changes in the same way as long as I keep the camp well!" Sula was surprised and looked at the camp, and her confidence came up again: "I have made some hard work and established a solid camp. I don't believe that the Chinese can conquer it?"
"Dongdong!" At this moment, the shocking sound of war drums sounded, shaking the ground trembled.
"The Han army is mighty!" The battle horn that soared into the sky suddenly sounded, and the sound shook the sky, full of passion and made people excited.
Sula felt her heart twitching violently, as if the roar was ringing in his heart, which was so shocking!
"Swish!" A powerful sound of breaking through the air sounded, and the sky darkened, and countless poisonous snakes suddenly appeared in the sky, nearly a few feet long and the size of a wine glass.
The glittering arrow tips are like the tongue of a poisonous snake, which is so terrifying!
"This..." Sura had a very good understanding, but she didn't know why she was so different. She couldn't help but open her mouth wide and couldn't speak.
"Bang bang!" The powerful impact sounded, and the originally solid village seemed to break the crossbow arrow easily.
As the smoke and dust filled, the plug-in fence fell down in pieces.
The soldiers standing in the aisle fell down, either with crossbow arrows inserted on their bodies or pressing the village gates, and screamed in pain. The most terrifying thing was that the crossbow arrows inserted into the soldiers' bodies were still shaking, as if a hungry venomous snake was shaking its tail after drinking blood, sending a cheerful message, "It's really delicious."
What Sula will never forget is that many soldiers were able to fly the crossbow arrows and fell heavily in the distance.
How much effort does this take?
Even Western catapults are not so powerful, right?
"..." Except for the screams of the Roman soldiers, all the soldiers in the camp were stunned. They never dreamed that there was such a powerful weapon in the world that could skewers into human flesh and make people fly in the air.
"Quick, block it!" Sula shone her forehead, and got the shiny cold sweat. She reacted first and made a loud order to ask the Roman soldiers to block the gap.
This Roman legion has been through war for a long time, and has no lack of courage and spirit. He rushed forward without hesitation. He held the shield and blocked the gap. Many shields formed a shield wall.
This is the signature of the Roman legion. In Roman history, the Roman legion created the Roman Empire with this army formation. Sula had absolute confidence in this formation and could definitely defend the gap.
However, the development of the war was far beyond his imagination. The sky was dark and countless crossbow arrows appeared in the sky. This kind of dimness only existed for a very short time, and the sky quickly became brighter.
However, the Roman soldiers who were ordered to block the gap disappeared. By the time Sura found them, they were already piled up together, either becoming corpses or seriously injured, and had no power to fight again.
As for the square shield that the Roman Empire attaches great importance to, either fell aside or there were big holes after a while, and the light shone through it, making it particularly conspicuous.
This shield is the reliance of the Roman legion. It is precisely with this shield that the Roman legion can attack and retreat and defend, like a turtle, making the enemy unable to start. However, such a signature equipment is as indifferent as cloth in front of the Han army.
"..." Sula opened her mouth wide and couldn't speak, but she could only make a strange sound from her throat "gugu".
Sula was very talented and could speak wisely, but she couldn't find a suitable word to express the shock in his heart.
Even a powerful enemy like Hannibal cannot break the square shield of the Roman Empire. Hannibal can defeat the Roman legion, but it is impossible for him to make a hole in the square shield of Rome unless he returns to the furnace.
Something that has not happened in the history of Rome for hundreds of years was just happening, and it appeared alive before my eyes. Sulan felt that he would rather believe that this was done by the devil than that of the Chinese whom he hated.
Sula was already shocked enough, but what shocked him even more was that these square shields were not destroyed on one side, but many sides. Seven out of ten square shields blocked in the gap were destroyed.
After the bloody battle, the Fang shield was damaged, which is normal. The question is, where did the bloody battle come from? The Han army is still far away from them, which caused such terrible consequences. Sula was really speechless.
Fortunately, Sula had his own unique features. Although she was extremely shocked, she did not panic and ordered loudly: "Hurry up, prepare to shoot arrows! Get ready to throw a spear!"
Sula knew very well that it would be impossible to send someone to block the gap, and it would be a death. For the sake of the present, the only way is to use long-range spears and bows to deal with the Han army.
However, as soon as his order was passed, he saw the Han army wrapped in steel. He couldn't help but feel aroused and asked himself: "Is this useful?" He had seen the amazing protective power of the Han army last time. Even though he was an elite Roman army, he was still lacking in confidence.
The sky was dark again, and the Roman soldiers who were preparing to face the enemy in the aisle were flying in the air again, dancing and blood splashing, and the sky was filled with sad blood!
In the sunlight, it is particularly beautiful and very beautiful!
Not everyone was the archers and spearheaders who were preparing to face the enemy, but a large number of people became corpses or lost their combat power. The originally dense crowd became sparse.
Sula looked around and saw that the originally iron barrel-like camp now had many gaps. Even the Han army had not seen his camp, and his camp lost its protective power. Sula was so depressed that she was crazy.
If you want to send someone to block the enemy, but you dare not, that is to die. The wise Sula will definitely not do it. Sending archers and spearheads is useless. Sula is really helpless and at a loss.
"Rumor!" At this moment, he heard heavy footsteps, and the Han army moved, and the huge army was pressing against the Roman camp.
"That knife has not yet shown its power!" Sula suddenly discovered that the Han army also had a powerful weapon like Mo Dao. Once it showed its power, what kind of scene would it be?
He was both expectant and frightened.
Chapter completed!
