Roman Empire of Total War

Chapter 129: "·Bad Strike"

People who can get the necessary nutrients are healthier than those who eat a lot. Similarly, real scholars are often not people who read a lot of books, but people who read useful books.

——Aristib (Ancient Greek philosopher and founder of the Cyrene School)

Li Xini wanted to rely on a phalanx of 4,000 spearmen to block the charge of 10,000 elite cavalry. It was obviously a bit whimsical, and even the Roman youth army he deployed on the left and right wings fell into the enemy at the moment of the battle. Among the cavalry charge.

Compared to the phalanx that the pikemen were reluctant to resist, the Roman youth soldiers' counterattacks were much sharper; before the enemy cavalry approached, the young soldiers in the first two rows had already built the shield wall After that, the young soldiers in the back raised their javelins and threw them at the enemy cavalry who came full blow.

Even at the beginning of the battle, the young army generals gave the enemy cavalry a heavy blow with a shield wall and a javelin, but the surging enemy cavalry still broke the shield wall of the young army generals like a broken bamboo, and Charged into the battle of the young army.

Because the main target of the elite cavalry of the Aisini tribe is the square pikemen in the middle, so the actual cavalry they used to attack the two-winged youth army was only more than a thousand each wing; and the six teams of young army soldiers also had nearly A thousand people, plus two teams of elite youth soldiers on each wing as the main force, their defense is enough to entangle the attacking enemy cavalry.

Although Li Xini’s two-winged troops stabilized the formation and entangled the cavalry from the enemy’s impact, the middle lancer phalanx was eventually lost to the enemy’s main cavalry; in the enemy’s main cavalry Under the strong charge, the five pikemen's fronts declared breakthroughs, and even before the last line of defense had time to kill the enemy cavalry, they had been dispersed by the pikemen in front.

"Gentlemen of the First Legion! The cavalry of the enemy has been rushed over. I have no time to say anything to you. Now you are the only one who can stop the enemy cavalry from attacking. Remember your identity. You are the first legion. Warrior! Rush up!"

In order to stabilize the situation, Li Xini had to order the last 4,000 soldiers of his first legion to rush to stabilize the formation. If the enemy cavalry broke through the formation, their own army would be defeated. The consequences are simply unimaginable.

Seeing that the soldiers of the First Four Thousand Legions rushed up, Li Xini was not idle. He also led his General Guards to rush ahead and greeted the enemy cavalry who broke through the lance array.

The heavy cavalry headed by Li Xini, abnormally sharply stopped the enemy cavalry's charge and launched a counterattack against the enemy cavalry; seeing that his regimental commander was so powerful, the four thousand soldiers also called out. Rushed towards those cavalry who rushed up.

At this time, the situation on the battlefield was like this. The generals of the left and right wings of the Li Xini army had entangled more than a thousand enemy cavalry who attacked them, and launched a strict square formation against the enemy. Surrounded by cavalry strangling.

The cavalry who lost their mobility is nothing more than a lamb to be slaughtered. In the melee battle with the young army soldiers, their desperate breakthrough is nothing more than a dying struggle. They simply cannot change their disadvantages, and they cannot break through the composition of the young army soldiers. Battle front.

And the pikeman phalanx that Li Xini has been broken through, has not really collapsed across the board, especially after Li Xini personally led the last four thousand soldiers to join the battle head-on, the pike soldiers who were oppressed to the left and right sides even more It is up again.

After the main cavalry of the Essini tribe broke through the five-line pikemen's phalanx in succession, they themselves were caught in an unusually strange battle formation; if they could not continue to break through Li Xini's last line of defense, they would be The four thousand soldiers in front of Li Xini, and the pikemen who had squeezed to the left and right wings, were surrounded on three sides again.

If something like this happens, the Aisini tribe cavalry army, which has completely lost its mobility, will be in danger of being annihilated by the whole army. Even if they can withdraw their battles with their own speed advantages, they will be unable to complete their heavy losses. The goal is to go south.

As commander-in-chief of this elite cavalry, Queen Budika’s status is second only to General Nigelson of General Igus. He is a member of the Plausian era. The current battlefield situation has been detrimental to his cavalry. He naturally wants to take measures.

For the barbarian fighters who advocate the strong, what measures can arouse the enthusiasm of the fighters to the greatest extent? Undoubtedly, it must be that their master will be in a sharp charge, and this is exactly what Nielsen is going to do.

When the heavily armed Nelson led his own guard cavalry and rushed forward, he inevitably confronted the leading Li Xini; both were also the strength of the senior swordsman, and the combat experience was also Both are exceptionally rich. The battle between the two of them naturally caused you to come and go in a state of stalemate, and then their respective guard cavalry also fought together.

How could Nielsen's guard cavalry be an opponent of Li Sini's General Guard? The battle between the two sides was not a contest of magnitude at all. It was just the first round of charge. The guard cavalry under Nelson was completely killed by Li Xini's general guard.

After losing the support of the guard cavalry, there are countless cavalry around Nielsen who can rush up to help, but the cooperation between them and Nelson is not as tacit as before. Suppressed completely.

As his general guard once again cleared the cavalry around the enemy leader, Li Xini also grabbed Nelson's distraction and threw the long gun at his chest; Nielsen, who responded in time, immediately bent down. After evading this sudden blow, it was a pity that he fell from the battle immediately in the next second.

Because this thrown spear was originally a fake move made by Li Xini deliberately, the real killing was Li Xini’s dagger with the scabbard pulled out; while Nielsen leaned over to avoid the long gun, Li Xini It was a leap and thrust his dagger into Nelson's back.

The deceased cavalry of the Aisini tribe is still struggling desperately, while Li Xini is leading his general guard to continue to sprint, he orders the perimeter spearmen to advance as far as possible to completely cut off the enemy. Retreat of military cavalry.

After fierce fighting continued for another half an hour, the elite cavalry of the Aisini tribe finally chose to surrender after the casualties were close to 40%. The blood-covered Li Xini was very difficult to come out of the sea of ​​corpses and blood. And sent a victory warrior to Bai Feng!
