Chapter 253 Rome, Eagle Flag

The Romans were like silent reefs, standing there firmly without any movement at all.

This composure also raised the fear in Li Que's and others' hearts to a higher level.

"It seems that we have underestimated this Rome. It is indeed a tough nut to crack. Even if they are both talented soldiers, they cannot be underestimated!" Guo Bang's face showed excitement.

"Hahahaha, only hard bones are strong!" Li Que laughed.

"The Romans' infantry configuration is really good, but if you want to block us like this, then you will think too much!"

"The iron cavalry from Xiliang is invincible in the world!"

Li Jue roared angrily, and the soldiers echoed loudly.

All the Xiliang iron cavalry held their spears in their left hand, clamped the gun barrel with their arms, crossbowed with their right hands, and their eyes were extremely firm. As the wind and sand swept across the ground, the Xiliang iron cavalry turned into a black dragon and charged at the Romans.

"Bang bang bang~" There was a loud blast of trembling bowstrings, and Li Que, Guo Bang, and Fan Chou Zhang Ji shot arrows at the Roman spear array facing Zhang Xiu at the same time.

And the Roman side did not hesitate at all. The Roman longbowmen who had been prepared for a long time also set up their bows and shot towards Zhang Xiu, the most frontal one. It is a common principle for all countries to capture the thief first.

To dampen its edge and lose its will, Rome's choice is good, but it is meaningless for the Xiliang cavalry.

Arrows burst out, and the Romans in front of Zhang Xiu fell almost instantly like harvesting leeks. The lethality of the violent arrow crossbow produced by Huang Tianji was not weaker than the full blow of a dual-talented archer.

The unprepared Roman spear array was hit almost instantly, and it was wiped out before it had any effect as an effective means to contain the cavalry behind the shield array.

This kind of attack that could explode directly caught Rome by surprise.

However, this was only the beginning. What made the Roman ghosts even more worried was that their arrow rain was completely ineffective.

When they chose the Flying Bear Army led by Zhang Xiu as their target, everything was already doomed.

The Flying Bear Legion with the gravity shield on them completely ignored all kinds of long-range physical attacks.

In the unbelievable ten waves of arrow rain of the Romans, no hair was injured, the gravity shield defense was fully covered, and the horses were immune to bows and arrows...

The arrows rained wildly, but it had no effect. Without the help of the spear formation, how could the shield-wielding infantry in front of them be the opponent of Fei Xiong.

"Hundred Phoenixes Chaoyang!"

Along with the sound of phoenix cries, several phoenixes transformed from inner energy directly bombarded the Roman front line. The clouds above the Roman front line only held up for a moment before being submerged by the overwhelming phoenix flames. In an instant, the entire front line was in chaos.

"Demigod?" Ganassis looked in Zhang Xiu's direction in confusion. After the change in the sky, Rome also had its birth, but at this moment, Zhang Xiu's feeling for Ganasis was no weaker than that of those demigods.

After Zhang Xiu made a move, the first line of defense in Rome was completely in chaos. The blow of the violent crossbow and Zhang Xiu's god descended to the earth, causing these Roman soldiers to suffer heavy losses.

And the Xiliang iron cavalry led by Zhang Xiu became excited. The previous blow had a completely different meaning to the Xiliang iron cavalry. They finally had a master who could hold the field.

"Kill!" Zhang Xiu took the lead and charged directly into the Roman formation.

As Zhang Xiu was the first to stab a Roman soldier, countless Roman soldiers were pierced by spears in the next moment. The Xiliang iron cavalry pierced through the first line of defense of the Roman rear army, but the speed hardly slowed down at all. The second line of defense carefully arranged by Ganassis.

Countless arrows rained in their direction, but it was completely useless.

Rome's original level of manufacturing bows and arrows was average. Their strongest were heavy infantry and cavalry. However, after fighting with Anxi for so many years, they absorbed the combat arms that Anxi was best at.

The super-high rate of fire and extended shooting distance of the Parthian archers, the skill of making bows and arrows, and the talent composition of the Parthian cavalry archers were all absorbed by Rome.

Then Anxi was severely beaten by Rome. At the beginning, he was able to rely on mercenaries to fight the classic annihilation of the Callai War, but he became weaker and weaker as he went on. Now he has been beaten to the vicinity of Ctesiphon by a group of barbarians.

The Romans were also good at adapting to local conditions. They found that the covering arrow rain did not require a high level of archery. It was enough to shoot the Parthian bow cavalry as light cavalry, and the light cavalry pursued speed.The defense is very sloppy, so it doesn't need a strong attack power.

Think about it, a 5000-strong elite archer shoots more than 20 arrows in a cup of tea, and the light cavalry and light infantry are almost completely restrained to death.

However, all of this is meaningless to the Xiliang cavalry, and it is even more meaningless to the high-ranking unit of the Xiliang cavalry, Flying Bear.

"The left wing and the right wing immediately retract from the center! Give up the siege, block the Taixifeng city gate, and the cavalry attack, go around the enemy's rear and launch an attack from the rear!"

"Archers move to the wings, strike from behind them!"

The Xiliang iron cavalry with strong frontal defense capabilities instantly reminded Ganassis of the elite Eagle Banner Legion in Rome - the Ninth Spanish Legion.

The talent effect of this legion allows them to have super frontal defense capabilities when charging, but they can't take care of both ends. As long as they attack from behind, they can break through their defenses.

However, Ganassis' empiricism made him suffer even more. Flying Bear is not the Ninth Spanish Legion, but Flying Bear is a stronger Army Soul Corps than him.

"Abandon the gun and change the knife!" Li Que yelled. Although the Roman heavy infantry defense line was penetrated twice, it also blocked them on the third line of defense, mixing with the defense line of the Ganassis Guards. , stronger than the first two lines of defense combined.

But it also made Li Que discover the problem of Rome. He suddenly discovered that the strongest Romans are on the periphery!
In other words, killing through the outer line of defense, the battlefield will once again enter the most familiar killing link of the Xiliang cavalry.

Although Zhang Xiu played the leading role, he was only acting as the leading role. The real commanders of the Xiliang cavalry were Li Que and the others.

Hearing the order, the Xiliang iron cavalry threw away the long spear in their hands without hesitation, and replaced it with a new type of sword for close combat.

The Flying Bear soldiers threw out their spears fiercely, and the spears that exerted gravity flew tens of meters before falling. Compared with things like arrows, the force attached to the spears is enough to penetrate people and shields together !
"Military souls!? They are military souls! Fly the eagle flag!" Ganassis, who was watching the battlefield, roared frantically. As the Eastern Duke of Rome, how could he not know what military souls are?
Ganassis now wishes to strangle Emperor Anxi directly to death. What a joke, Anxi is hard to bring.

This is not the first time to see other country's military soul corps on the resting battlefield. The last time Rome saw the military soul corps was the military soul of the Huns.

Caught off guard, Rome's parliamentary guards were directly defeated by the Huns. If it weren't for the majesty of the Roman army, the battle might have been a lot of fun.

Under that circumstance, Rome finally chose to withdraw its troops. This is the deterrent force of the Army Soul Legion.

Since then, Rome's parliamentary guards have completely launched the battle sequence, crouching obediently in the rear as a buff generator.

Ganassis regretted it very much now, why didn't he bring two more Eagle Banner legions over, as long as he had two legions that could fight, he wouldn't be so passive.

As far as the barbarian army in his hands is concerned, it is pure wishful thinking to want to eat each other. Now they are still caught in the embarrassment of being attacked from both sides, Ganassis is anxious to scold her.

Manzi died when he died, but his personal guards couldn't die here.

Although his Guards Corps does not have a regular Eagle Banner formation, it is not weaker than those of the Roman Eagle Banner Corps.

Under the command of Ganassis, the captain of the Guards raised the eagle flag enthusiastically, and then an eagle-wing-like light flashed across the entire legion, and all the Romans' weapons and armor had a glow. The Romans also entered a state of excitement at the same time.

"Pfft!"

The Iron Knights of Xiliang watched in disbelief as they sat down on their pierced horses. The pierced bodies of the horses meant that their defenses could also be pierced.

Before he could think of anything more, the horse fell to the ground, and the rider was knocked off the horse almost without reacting. Then, relying on years of battle experience, he rolled on the spot to avoid the stabbing of the Roman infantry.

The grinning Roman heavy infantry rushed forward. A cavalry without a horse is a beast without minions.

After all, the talents of most cavalrymen are linked to their war horses, and without their mounts, they would lose more than half of their combat effectiveness.

"Dang!" The iron knight responded to the Roman heavy infantry with a more ferocious expression. The new sword in his hand parried the Roman dagger in the hand of the Roman heavy infantry, and then stabbed the opponent's throat at an incredible angle.

"Bah!" the iron knight soldier spat disdainfully, thinking he would have no power to fight back without his horse?
Sorry, the war horse is nothing more than a vehicle for their iron cavalry, they can still fight without the war horse!

"What the hell is that?" Xu Rong stared blankly at the Roman eagle flag.

The moment the Romans changed, Xu Rong realized something was wrong. It was impossible for the Romans to play around in such an emergency.

The fighting power that the Romans burst out in the next moment instantly made Xu Rong understand what it was. It was a legion talent, and it was a legion talent that could cover the entire army.

"Okay, okay, I didn't expect to be lucky enough to see such a spectacle today, and a dead object can bloom with such brilliance!" Xu Rong laughed, and he saw a brand new path.

"Do you want to shake the sky with mere legion talents?" Li Que roared angrily!

Without hesitation, they mobilized the power of their military souls and their legionary talents. When the light fell again, the momentum of the Xiliang cavalry army soared into the sky.

"Puchi!" The Roman's spear pierced through the armor of the iron cavalry, and then stabbed the knight of the iron cavalry. However, it did not penetrate the body as before.

But Li Que's complexion is not good-looking. Active activation and forced activation are two different things. Although the talent and soul of the army are good, they are a huge burden for soldiers.

But this time is not the time to think about these things, let's talk about crushing the opponent first.

"Crush them for me!"

Li Jue ignored the opponent's attack and slashed the head of the Roman centurion on the opposite side. He knew that since they opened up the legion talent, iron cavalry was the most defensive cavalry in the world!

After the legion's talent enveloped all the Xiliang cavalry, all the Xiliang cavalry clearly felt that they were different from before, as if they had put on a layer of tough armor again, and all the cavalry became inspired.

"Damn!" Ganassis was completely stunned at this moment, he realized that what he was facing was definitely not a mercenary made up at random, but a real army from an empire-level force.

Although each empire has different names, they all have something similar to legion talent.

Guishuang's heart image and the blessings of gods and Buddhas, Rome's eagle flag is brilliant, and the rest is Xinyuan, and the Han Dynasty is called the legion talent.

Compared with Li Que who can only guess the effect of the blessing of the Roman Eagle Flag, Ganassis clearly feels the effect of this blessing.

The reason is that the arrows of the longbowmen and the throwing of the axemen also lost their effect on the Han army. You must know that although they were useless against the flying bears before, they were still effective against the weaker Xiliang iron cavalry.

However, now even the cavalry have begun to use some violent methods to counterpress the Roman heavy infantry. This mode of ignoring the attack and going all out is really too bad.

"Boss Xu, I'll leave the rest to you!" Li Que roared, then directly gave up commanding the legion, and devoted himself wholeheartedly to the battle with the Ganassis Guards.

Fei Xiong was led by Zhang Xiu, and they were only cavalry at the level of the imperial guards at the moment. They could be said to be rivals with the guards of Ganassis.

Ganassis had completely given up suppressing the Parthian Empire, and had mobilized all the long-range legions to the rear battlefield. He did not believe that the defense of the Xiliang Cavalry was unlimited, and he wanted to use endless attacks to overwhelm the Xiliang Cavalry.

"Boom!" Countless arrows rained down on the iron cavalry, and then the scene of the short bow shooting the iron cavalry appeared again, and all the arrows bounced away.

But Ganassis didn't waver at all. He believed that the iron cavalry's defense must have a threshold. As long as it was filled with attacks, the iron cavalry would be able to reveal its original shape.

"It can't go on like this anymore. The military soul and legion talent are being consumed faster and faster. If this goes on like this, at most half an hour, the defensive blessing will disappear." Li Que's face was deep.

After struggling to kill a low-level general among the Roman infantry, Li Que couldn't help turning his head to look in the direction of Xu Rong. Since he chose to believe Xu Rong, he would never doubt Xu Rong. All he could do was to continue killing. go down.

Rome's will to fight is extremely tenacious. If it were an opponent like the previous battlefield in the Western Regions, it would have been defeated by now.

Not everyone has the courage to face a group of unbeatable monsters.

At this time, the Xiliang iron cavalry was almost fighting against the rain of arrows from the Romans and the Roman heavy infantry, but the iron cavalry still had a huge advantage on the scene.

The current defense of the iron cavalry is almost completely against the sky, which has caused a huge obstacle to the attack of the Romans and caused a great blow to the morale of the Romans.

However, this advantage could not be converted into victory. When the Romans discovered that Li Jue was charging toward the eagle flag, all the soldiers attacked the cavalry like crazy, and the casualties of the cavalry also began to increase.

After all, it is not an invincible defensive blessing. In the case of multiple hits, you will still be injured and die.
