    "Fire the arrows! Fire the arrows!! Fire the arrows!!!" After several rounds of dense arrow rain, most of the thousands of Greek cannon fodder were lying in a pool of blood.  šI, Only a few lucky ones shivered in the dense crowd of corpses.  "Push up." With a wave of Taishi Ci's hand, more than a dozen kings of Greek city-states were tied up and pushed up to the battle line under the gaze of countless pairs of eyes.  "Beheaded!" There was no lengthy process of spitting. He pushed the person to the ground, and as Taishi Ci shouted loudly, the executioners grabbed the hair of the wailing kings and raised their swords with their hands!  More than a dozen falling heads shocked countless people.  "These bloodthirsty barbarians!" Looking at the bloody scene in the distance, the corners of Toulouse's eyes twitched rapidly.  The pressure in his heart began to increase rapidly. If he was defeated, "This is the consequences of disobeying orders!" Taishi Ci stood in front of the trembling Greek city-state kings and shouted sternly, "Whose soldiers dare to retreat?  If you kill the soldiers, the king will also die! In addition, his territory will be taken back and his family will be sold as slaves! Do you understand?" Under the threat of this kind of profit, all the Greeks are red.  eyes.  They did not dare to resist the Han army, so they could only choose to fight desperately against the Romans who seemed to be weaker!  Even many kings personally joined the frontline battle!  War becomes cruel in an instant.  "The fighting will of these Westerners is no worse than ours? They have suffered such huge losses and still act like nothing has happened." Gao Yang smacked his lips, put down the telescope in his hand, and said with some surprise.  ¡°Isn¡¯t it all because of you?¡± Yuandian responded helplessly.  "Hehe." Gao Yang said with a smile, "Cannon fodder must have the consciousness of cannon fodder. Where in the world can there be a good thing like pie in the sky? It helped them get rid of the colonial rule of the Romans, and also obtained from the heritage of the Romans.  A lot of benefits. As for the Romans' revenge, they also had the Han army to stop them. How could such a good thing not come at a price? " "The price is not small," Yuan Dian said with emotion.  On the distant battlefield, the Greeks in gray and messy clothing were already entangled with the main Roman legions in red.  The performance of the Greeks even far exceeded Gao Yang's expectations.  Not only did they successfully do what cannon fodder should do, they even violently attacked the Roman military formation!  When a person is forced into a desperate situation and breaks out in the desperate situation.  The power that can burst out is very terrifying, especially when so many people burst out at the same time.  Many Greeks with red eyes roared crazily and ran past the Romans who were blocking them with spears and bows.  He slammed into the Roman shield formation without slowing down!  ¡®Puff puff~¡¯ The Roman soldiers leaned on their shields with their shoulders, and thrust the sharp daggers in their hands into the gaps between the shields!  Almost all the Greeks who were crowded on the shields had holes opened.  Bo Bo's blood dyed the earth red, and also dyed the Roman shield array red.  The Romans were able to become as dominant an empire as the Han Empire, and their leadership in all aspects was all-round.  Just like the armor, shields, and weapons of the Romans were all made of iron.  This is a symbol of the progress of the times. The Romans have entered the Iron Age.  However, many of the Greeks who attacked them were still using primitive bronze weapons.  Moreover, few Greeks could possess armor and shields.  They rely more on their bodies to fight.  Now the battlefield looks like the Greeks are suppressing the Romans in a dense military formation, but in fact the exchange of troops and battle losses between the two sides is completely disproportionate.  The front of the Roman tortoise-shell formation was already covered with corpses, and the layers were getting higher and higher.  The blood flowing from these corpses has completely dyed the gray earth into black and purple!  The Greek attack continues.  They roared angrily, waved their weapons, stepped on the pile of corpses already piled up to their thighs, and jumped in from the Romans' tortoise-shell formation. They soon caused considerable losses to the Romans.  and.  This completely desperate style gradually began to disrupt the Romans' dense formation.  "Back off, back off! Reorganize your formation!" The centurions and centurions of the Roman legions on the front line were keenly aware of the danger, and loudly ordered their men to retreat and get out of the way to prevent the Greeks from taking advantage of them.  At the same time, these frontline commanders continued to urge the sergeants to throw spears to block the Greeks' continuous tide of offensive.  "Very good." Tulus, who was watching the battle from behind, nodded with satisfaction.  The legions under his command were truly elite Roman troops, veterans of bloody battles with barbarians everywhere.  They are calm and they are experienced.  These veterans are far from comparable to those legions stationed in prosperous and wealthy provinces.??'s.  Especially the three Eagle Legions who participated in the expedition against the Parthian Empire. They were the pride of the entire Rome.  The Greek offensive was overwhelming.  But the losses were staggering.  Under the threat of the crossbows in the hands of the Han army, and under the coercion of the crazy kings and nobles.  These Greeks were losing their lives at an alarming rate.  However, in just half an hour, more than one-third of the tens of thousands of Greeks involved in the attack had been lost!  This kind of battle damage rate is unimaginable in the cold weapon era.  In any other place, this army would have collapsed long ago.  It's just that now they have no choice under various threats. At the same time, they themselves have fallen into inexplicable excitement because of the violent external environment.  This is how we can persist for so long.  only.  All their potential has been used up.  "It's really good." Gao Yang, standing on the hill, nodded with satisfaction.  Although the Greeks suffered such heavy losses, they only suffered the loss of thousands of regular Roman legions.  But Gao Yang still gave positive comments on their performance.  Bravery is the first quality of a soldier.  No matter what makes them brave, as long as they can fight bravely.  That would be satisfying enough.  "It's almost done, right?" Yuandian said softly, "If they continue to fight, they will probably collapse. The losses are too great." "I know." Gao Yang looked away from the battlefield in the distance where tens of thousands of people were desperately shouting and fighting.  He raised his hand and pinched his chin, then pondered for a moment.  He turned around and looked at the generals behind him, and said in a deep voice, "Pass my order, the legion will attack!" The sound of horns spread throughout the mountains and fields, and the densely packed flags were waving violently.  The huge legions of the Han army began to move slowly under the guidance of first-level generals.  One after another, tens of thousands of military formations slowly approached the main battlefield ahead with determined steps.  After suffering so much, the Greeks, who had been squeezed out of their last drop of oil and water, finally heard the call to withdraw.  All the exhausted Greeks regarded this trumpet sound as a blessing from the Olympian gods. A moment ago, they were furious and launched a desperate charge towards the Roman turtle formation without fear of life or death.  The next moment all the remaining Greeks rumbled away like the tide.  Use your last strength to withdraw from the battlefield from both sides of the huge military formation.  "Complete the team, complete the team! Evacuate the wounded and fill the positions with the reserve team! Quick, quick, quick!!" The experienced centurions in the Roman legion, who were the backbone of the legion, began to frantically rearrange the queue.  Because the intuition on the battlefield told these veterans that a powerful enemy was coming.  The loose soil on the ground began to tremble slightly.  This is not an earthquake, but the resonance caused by too many pairs of heavy feet on the ground.  More than twelve huge military formations of ten thousand people slowly approached the Roman position, bringing great pressure to those Romans.  "This is impossible!" Tulus looked at the huge alien army opposite with an expression of disbelief.  The neat steps and the gleaming metal armor weapons in the sunlight.  The impossibly powerful momentum of the Greek militiamen, as well as the strict and dense formation, all prove that they are the elite of the foreign army!  "Didn't it mean that the main force of the alien army was fighting fiercely with Niger in the Egyptian province? Didn't it mean that the number of alien flanking armies in Greece was not that large? Then could it be that these extra armies all jumped down from Mount Olympia?  !?" Tulus grabbed his hair hard and roared a little madly.  You can¡¯t blame Tullus for going crazy with anger.  He had never considered that the Han army would receive large-scale reinforcements.  They just wanted to successfully defeat those Greek militiamen, and then have a decisive battle with the insufficient Han army.  It was never considered that tens of thousands of extra elite Han troops would appear.  Tulus believed that the strength of his army was similar to that of the Han army.  With the advantages of inside combat, brave spirit and his own superb command tactics, he has a great chance of winning.  But the extra Han troops instantly shattered his confidence.  At this time, he couldn't even retreat even if he wanted to.  On a battlefield, especially a battlefield of such a huge scale, where can you go if you want to?  "Shoot!" As the Han general waved his sword forward, amidst a series of dense sounds of machine triggering, a rain of arrows rose into the sky like a swarm of locusts.  After tearing through the air and flying through the air, he fell heavily into the dense Roman formation.  A series of dense sounds of ¡®ding ding dong dong¡¯ sounded.  That was the sound caused by sharp arrows hitting the metal shield.  From time to time, there are also screams of the unlucky ones, and the turtle shell formation is not completely without any gaps.  The dense rain of arrows that had always been invincible in the past did not have much effect at this moment.  The soldiers of the elite Roman legions used a dense tortoise shell formation to successfully resist the most powerful weapon of the Han army!  "That's it!" Tulus almost jumped up with excitement when he saw this scene.This is where his courage comes from before going to war!  After analysis, Turus believed that the most powerful aspect of the alien army was their sharp and dense arrow rain.  The Roman Legion's turtle shell formation should be able to resist.  The current situation on the battlefield shows that his speculation is correct.  Even though this battle is likely to result in defeat due to the numerical gap, Tulus's own tactics to restrain the Han army will be very helpful to the main army in Rome.  (To be continued)
