Roman Empire of Total War

The strong do what they can, and the mentally handicapped will suffer.

-Thucydides (ancient Greek historian, philosopher and general, known as the father of "historical science")

Due to their limited strength, the Essini tribe under Queen Budeka could not rely on their own strength to build more landing ships. The only boat that their landing army could cross the river was Prasu eight years ago Sri Lanka stayed here in the boat.

But eight years can change too many things. Many of these wooden boats that have been immersed in the Cangluo River have been decayed and sunk. Even the ships that have not sunk are almost all decayed. Few ships are normal. use.

Fortunately, Iggs had sent patrols to patrol during the day, and secretly repaired these broken ships at night; after a period of dismantling and repairing, fortunately, about one third of the ships were repaired. Used to cross the river.

When Aegis and Queen Budeka led their troops to the banks of the eastern bank of the Cangluo River, they could clearly see the flying flags of the Tigers and Cheetahs on the west bank of the Cangluo River and the Roman army across the wide surface of the Cangluo River. Squadrons waiting for the battle.

Although the Roman army on the other side had only 12,000 or 3,000 people in sight, their situation was not much better than that of the other side. Who made the ships that could be put into use by Aegis only transport 10,000 soldiers at a time to cross the river.

However, the river crossing here is after all a pretence of Aiges. The 10,000 elite cavalry fifteen miles north of this place are the must-have for this attack; as long as the 10,000 elite cavalry can rush to the battlefield in time Then, the landing operation commanded by Aegis would be much simpler, and this war was won by the Aisini tribe.

After a glance with Queen Butika, who was sitting in the army, Aiges finally began to issue the order of the attack; after the Aegis' order of the attack was issued, 10,000 ready-to-be Essini tribe warriors immediately started boarding the river!

Compared with the aspiring Queen Budeka and General Igs on the east bank of the Cangluo River, Baifeng on the west bank is much calmer; after Bazel led his squad of tigers to the riverbank, it was 300 meters to the left of Baifeng. A neat battle array was arranged.

Nearly 4,000 of the elite Centennial veterans of the Tigers were concentrated at the forefront of the river bank, and behind them were more than 6,000 other soldiers of the Tigers; once the army of the Aisini tribe landed, the Tigers The Lions of the Hundred Battles will give the enemy a fierce blow in the first round, this is the deployment intention of Bazel.

Bai Feng, who wholeheartedly greeted the enemy, did not have time to control Bazel and his tiger corps. Even when Li Sini led the first corps and the 4,000 pikemen of the cheetah corps to the north, Bai Feng did not take a look. His attention was on the enemy on the other side.

More than 50,000 enemy forces gathered in black on the east bank of the Cangluo River, making Bai Feng's spirit nervous to a certain extent. It was only after the enemy forces on the east bank formally started to board the river that Bai Feng's tension gradually calmed down. .

This is not to say that Bai Feng's mentality is good when the battle is about to erupt. It's just that the enemy's first landing troops are only about 10,000, which makes Bai Feng's heart hanging down. The enemy forces are simply not enough to shake their battles!

Seeing that the first small wooden ships of the enemy began to row away from the east bank, Bai Feng immediately ordered Gattus around him:

"Gattus, you immediately lead a thousand archers to meet the enemy; after the enemy fleet enters the range of two hundred meters, let the Cretan archers shoot first, after the three rounds of rain , The whole army started salvo!"

"Yes!"

With Bai Feng's order, Gattus led all the archers under his command to continue to the edge of the river bank before stopping; at this time, the Roman army on the west bank was waiting for the enemy on the east bank to slow down. Close to the West Bank.

At this time, the wind direction on the Cangluo River was blowing from west to east. This kind of wind direction was not conducive to the crossing of the Essini tribe army, but it was the most favorable wind direction for the Roman army on the west bank who used archers to defend. Too.

Because under the force of the wind, the archers' range will be increased to a certain extent, and the headwinds will slow down the speed of the enemy boat crossing the river, which creates conditions for the archers to shoot more rounds of arrow rain. Therefore, both the time and the geographical position belong to the Roman city.

The width of the Cangluo River in this part of the river is not the widest part of the entire river, and even the widest river surface of the Cangluo River in the eastern part of the barren land is not even counted here; even so, the width of the river here There are still more than 1,000 meters, and it is difficult to ride through the wind and waves.

The river crossing army of the Essini tribe has just left the east bank less than 300 meters. After a big wave came, there were at least three wooden boats full of Essini tribe fighters that collapsed on the spot and sank; Without the time to struggle, he was washed away by the turbulent river, and the other ships on the side had no chance of rescue at all.

The Essini tribe crossing the river with great difficulty had to continue struggling to paddle to the west bank to get rid of the threat of the Cangluo River as soon as possible; unfortunately, it was contrary to the people. The tribe fleet has made more and more small wooden boats full of Aisini tribe warriors roll over the Cangluo River.

When the Aisini tribe fleet crossing the river was less than three hundred meters away from the West Bank, they had rolled over and sunk at least 20 wooden ships full of soldiers; that is, there were four hundred before the battle. Essini tribe warriors were devoured by the Cangluo River

When the difficult Essini tribe fleet finally entered the 200-meter range on the west bank where the wind and waves were decreasing, the Cretan archers under Gattus began to show their power; the first round of arrow rain accurately covered five ships The wooden boat that was moving forward gave them heavy damage.

Even the soldiers on a wooden boat turned over to avoid the arrow rain, causing their wooden boat to overturn. The twenty soldiers on the whole wooden boat were buried in the Cura River again, letting other wooden boats crossing the river face the arrow rain Don't dare to run on a large scale.

Three rounds of Crete archer's arrow rain caused quite heavy casualties to the Aisini tribe army crossing the river. At least five hundred Aisini tribe warriors or the results of death or injury made Bai Feng quite satisfied; three rounds of arrows After the rain passed, it was a volley of a thousand archers.

The archers under Gattus are definitely not as good as the Cretan archers in combat effectiveness, but they are definitely not weak; after all, the warriors of the barbarian tribes always have to use hunting to maintain their livelihood, and use the bow and arrow book. It is a necessary skill in the hunting process.

The 1,000 archers of the Cheetah Legion are all barbarian warriors who are good at using bows and arrows to hunt. Their volleys have caused more casualties than the Crete archers. The number of them is as high as one. Thousands of people!
