Chapter 291: An Accident Happened

There was an itchy feeling in the brain suddenly, and then I wanted to sleep desperately. Could it be that the Sandman in Pindao's heart has awakened? These days, the bookings have increased rapidly, and Pindao's mood is unstable, hahahaha. www.geiliwx.com (no pop-up window, the best novel reading experience is in [novels])

----------

Of course, this kind of lethal tactic also caused the young and strong population of ancient Rome to continuously lose blood in the war, and then became weaker and weaker. After several internal fights, they completely declined.

And those Carthaginian soldiers launched a counterattack immediately, pushing the big shield forward desperately, and the short sword in the right hand was ready to go. After the ancient Roman soldiers were pushed down, what was waiting for them was the whereabouts of the big shield. And the pain of the dagger piercing the chest.

In any case, as the armies of the two sides collided together, a fierce fight ensued.

Short swords, large shields, javelins, even fists, heads, any weapons that can be used, greet the enemy at the fastest speed!

Of course, as far as equipment is concerned, these ancient Roman light infantry who rushed to the forefront are at a disadvantage.

They had no chain mail, not even a piece of leather.

The lack of armor made them suffer a lot in the subsequent melee after taking advantage of the first wave of impact.

If the short swords in their hands attacked the position protected by the chain mail, it would be tantamount to ineffective. Next, the enemy's sharp counterattack would kill them!

But after fighting for a while, these light infantrymen felt that they disturbed the formation of the Carthaginian soldiers, and then retreated quickly, leaving space for the young soldiers and adult soldiers behind them.

These young soldiers and adult soldiers also flew out javelins one by one, but they held a large shield when they charged afterwards. The power of the collision greatly surpassed those of light infantry.

Under the repeated impact of these ancient Roman soldiers, the formation of the Carthaginian soldiers was difficult to maintain. After a large number of soldiers were killed, the formation in the middle began to retreat.

Wei Xiaobei hadn't had his turn yet, so he followed the phalanx slowly. Therefore, he was able to watch this scene more leisurely.

Although the soldiers around did not make a sound, the screams and bloody smell from the fighting ahead made them gradually excited.

Wei Xiaobei has already decided,

If all these ancient Roman soldiers chased them in, they would run away immediately.

He didn't want to be engulfed by these ancient Roman soldiers, surrounded by tens of thousands of people. No matter how powerful the personal force is, as long as it does not reach the level of qualitative change, I am afraid that in the end, it will only end up exhausted, and it will be the tragic end of being killed by the soldiers like a waste.

Let's put it this way, Wei Xiaobei is certainly powerful now. The recovery ability has also reached the level of regeneration of severed limbs. It is difficult for a strong man to cut into Wei Xiaobei's muscles with a kitchen knife, but if he is surrounded by enemies, it will be consumed continuously. Together, it is enough to kill Wei Xiaobei.

Just as the Carthaginian soldiers kept retreating, they pushed the light infantry phalanx into the encirclement one by one. When the youths, adults, and reserve soldiers in the back all followed. The cavalry on the ancient Roman side got on their horses one after another under the order of the horn, and drove the horses along the periphery of the battlefield to outflank the Carthage army formation.

There is no doubt that the appearance of a cavalry force of more than 6,000 on the battlefield has a great effect on shaking morale. Of course, among these cavalry, there are very few real ancient Roman cavalry. Most of them acted as commanders, and most of the cavalry were troops conscripted from the colonies by the ancient Roman Empire.

At this time, Hannibal had already retreated to the rear of the army formation. The army is also mobilized by the sound of the horn.

Soon more than 2,000 Carthaginian cavalry on the left attacked, and their task was to try their best to entangle those ancient Roman cavalry. Prevent the side of the Carthaginian formation from being attacked by cavalry.

At the same time, the war elephant phalanx on the right also followed suit.

In fact, even Wei Xiaobei could see that with the attack of the 6,000 Roman cavalry, the situation became a bit unfavorable for Carthage.

Scipio was indeed one of the most outstanding commanders in ancient Rome, and he saw through what Hannibal wanted to do at a glance.

Of course, it is impossible for Scipio to put the 6,000 cavalry behind. Once Carthage declines, a cavalry assault will inevitably happen.

To be honest, the position of Wei Xiaobei's phalanx was not very good, it was on the left wing, and it happened to face those war elephants.

Seeing the momentum of Zhan Xiangping pushing towards him, the ancient Roman soldiers beside Wei Xiaobei turned pale even though they had experienced many battles.

Facing the impact formation of war elephants, even the most powerful ancient Roman soldiers could not resist it!

At this moment, the horns of ancient Rome sounded, and the phalanx of slingers from Parma quickly pushed forward. Some of them even held musical instruments such as trumpets in their hands, and stood behind and kept blowing hard.

It has to be said that the skills of these slingers blowing the trumpet are too rough. They can blow the trumpet, but the sound they blow out is completely naked noise.

Obviously, the noise made by hundreds of horns made the war elephants who were rushing over feel very uncomfortable, and they even slowed down continuously.

At this time, the slingers of the brigade rushed forward, put a fist-sized stone on the sling, and after swinging it around their heads desperately several times, they threw it towards the war elephants.

Papapapa, thousands of stones hit those war elephants like raindrops.

Although these war elephants were all covered with armor, the continuous impact of stones still hurt these war elephants.

They retreated one after another, and even some timid war elephants turned their heads and ran towards the way they came, trampling many of the Carthaginian soldiers on their side to death.

"woo woo woo woo!"

The sound of horns sounded continuously, and the ancient Roman soldiers forming the phalanx began to move forward quickly. Wei Xiaobei did not react slowly, and immediately followed.

At this time, the six thousand ancient Roman cavalry had collided with more than two thousand Carthaginian cavalry, and in the blink of an eye, hundreds of cavalry were stabbed off their horses by spears.

The more than two thousand Carthaginian cavalry could not withstand the impact of cavalry twice as many as their own, and were quickly surrounded and divided. In just a few minutes, there were faint signs of collapse.

In the middle, as the Carthaginian heavy infantry retreated to the bottom of the formation, they began to stabilize their formation and counterattacked the ancient Roman soldiers who were chasing them up, while the Carthaginian infantry on both wings began to surround them in the middle.

On the other side, the ancient Roman phalanx mixed with Wei Xiaobei had already launched an attack on the Carthaginian soldiers who were thrown into confusion by the elephants.

In fact, before this, the horn of Carthage had already sounded, and the order should be to retreat slowly and leave the battlefield.

After all, at this time, Carthage had lost the initiative. If they retreated slowly, Hannibal's command ability might not be able to turn defeat into victory.

You know, in many battles, Hannibal fought more with less, deliberately retreating to attract the ancient Roman soldiers to chase, and finally defeated the chaotic enemy with a backhand blow.

But this Carthaginian army was so excited that it activated the crescent formation too early, so that even if it wanted to retreat at this time, it seemed difficult.

Wei Xiaobei mixed in the phalanx and attacked with other ancient Roman soldiers. The javelin in his hand killed three Carthaginian soldiers in a row.

Compared to other ancient Roman soldiers, it was too simple for Wei Xiaobei to stab the javelin in the queue and hit the enemy's vitals.

Although each of these Carthaginian soldiers only had 30 evolution points, according to this situation, it would not be a problem for Wei Xiaobei to earn several thousand evolution points at the end of the battle.

Now that the war elephants were beaten back by the slingers, the Carthaginian soldiers had lost most of their courage and appeared extremely chaotic, completely missing the tight formation before.

Seeing that the Carthage side was about to collapse completely, Wei Xiaobei faintly felt that there would be some changes, but this kind of changes didn't seem to pose too much threat to him.

Just after Wei Xiaobei killed the tenth Carthaginian soldier, the surrounding ancient Roman soldiers looked at Wei Xiaobei from contempt to admiration.

Indeed, in the ancient cold weapon army, even if you have some problems with discipline and appear to be loose and procrastinated, as long as you show enough bravery on the battlefield, then your comrades will all admire you.

The reason is simple, enough powerful comrades will make them safer in the war.

It's as if ordinary soldiers are willing to follow the invincible military god.

If the general of an army with cold weapons is extremely stupid, then the soldiers under him may soon collapse and flee when encountering a tough battle.

No one is willing to give their life for a stupid general.

But at this moment, in the army formation behind Carthage, a golden beam of light fell, and then spread rapidly.

This continuously spreading golden beam of light seems to possess magical power.

All the Carthaginian soldiers who were illuminated by the golden light were immediately shocked, their morale was high, and they became extremely fierce!

The golden light quickly spread around Wei Xiaobei.

Wei Xiaobei felt that there was a kind of magical power in the golden light, and even Wei Xiaobei had an illusion.

Under the shining of the golden light, it seemed that he was being watched by an extremely powerful existence! Immediately, the hairs on his back stood on end.

Under the golden light, the strength of those Carthaginian soldiers who fought against Wei Xiaobei immediately increased by a quarter!

With Wei Xiaobei's national skills and familiarity with these enemies, he can clearly judge that after being illuminated by the golden light, the strength of these Carthaginian soldiers has directly improved from a one-star elite to the top of a one-star elite, infinitely close to a two-star elite. Degree!

This change is huge for these ordinary soldiers. It can be said that their strength has more than doubled in just this one.

On the other hand, those ancient Roman soldiers, as the strength of the Carthaginian soldiers suddenly increased, they soon became a little unable to support them.

Falling from heaven to hell was fast enough for these ancient Roman soldiers to know what an accident was. (To be continued) WWW.GEILIWX.COM happy reading every day
