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 had only done this a few times, but the empire's Pioneer is not something you can accept just by talking about it.
The crossbow bolts of the strong crossbow were pressed, the three three-foot short spears were slung on the back, the charging arrows were replaced by Dawan Liangma, Ma Kai was put on, and the super long spear that was one foot long was taken, and the others were all replaced by long spears for charging. , coupled with a backup beheading sword and a machete for melee 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, that time 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-legged 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 like 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, there are veterans in the rear team who have participated in a large number of wars and assist in command.
Under the passing 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 rushing 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 he and Tao Qian 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 tacitly rushed out from behind Li Jue, 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, the young Roman soldiers, under the command of the veterans behind them, all lowered their bodies and pressed down with their spears, contracted their formation and prepared for defense.
At this time, Li Jue no longer looked at the Romans' dispatches 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 out 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 to look for flaws.
This speed is not too fast, there is no pressure on the iron cavalry, and the distance between the two sides is about one mile. Unless it is something like a chariot, no weapon in this era except bulky trebuchets can project this distance. Of course, the elite Except for archers.
However, things like trebuchets can only be taken away after being disassembled, or they are made on the spot during the siege. To haul them is basically a dream, and the difficulty is too high.
Therefore, the Romans did not do anything drastic in response to the surrounding behavior of the Xiliang cavalry, they just silently defended themselves.
The simple circular formation is completely different when used by different people. Just like now, Ganassis has almost shown the power to turn decay into magic.
A silver-gray glow surrounded the Romans' defensive front, and the power of clouds was condensed on the spears. As Li Jue estimated, if the Romans could conquer their own country, the legions they would bring were at least regular 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 of Da Qin was quite outstanding, and they themselves There are no flaws in the military formation.
While turning their horses around, both Guo Bang and Fan Chou made the same move, squeezing the distance between them little by little, while the Romans were like silent rocks, standing there steadily without any movement at all. .
Until the squeeze reached sixty steps, a dangerous distance that could be charged with just one breath, countless arrows suddenly burst out 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 Si and Fan Chou also kept Li Ru's teachings in mind, and should not use their own defense 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 long archers in ambush had no chance to use it. ] Ganassis could already see the sweat on the foreheads of the infantry. Even for elite soldiers, the psychological pressure was extremely heavy when they were surrounded by powerful enemies but did not launch attacks.
Guo Bang and Fan Chou were advancing and retreating, and recently they had even made a charge. This 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's still uncomfortable to wave down.
After Guo Bang and Fan Chou merged, they merged behind Li Jue with a big swing. Both of them were extremely solemn. They almost used all the skills Li Ru gave them, but there was no result, so what was left was The last way.
"Zhiran, 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 their spears in their left hands, clamped the barrel of the gun with their arms, and fired crossbows with their right hands. Their eyes were extremely determined. The wind and sand blew past, and Li Jue roared. 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 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!
