Roman Empire of Total War

God sometimes gives beauty, elegance, and talents to one person, which makes him so extraordinary, showing that his genius comes from God, not from the power of the world.

-Leonardo da Vinci (typical artist of the Renaissance)

After the simple communication with Queen Budeka, Bai Feng hurried back to the room to rest, and Queen Budeka also returned to the room next to Yue'er to rest; overnight, without words, Bai Feng started his own busy the next morning Day.

From Brono’s and the 20,000 soldiers who were newly admitted to the city of Rome, 12,000 soldiers were recruited each to supplement the vacant soldiers of other legions. This is the planned plan of Bai Feng, and it also requires Bai Feng to sit in person. To solve these things.

In addition, the formation of the second and third Tuntian Corps also needs to be carried out in the Tassia camp. Isido and Aston, who were appointed by Bai Feng as the commander of the army, also returned to the Tassia camp early to form their corps, and then took Gamilio Si also went back.

Even if these matters were less, several other legions were enough for Bai Feng’s busy work; especially for the reconstruction of the Governor’s Guard, before Antio’s serious injury had not recovered, Bai Feng had to personally take charge of the reconstruction of the Governor’s Guard.

Fortunately, the injuries of the two leaders, Wendell and Simpson, are not too heavy. With good recovery, they also helped Bai Feng solve many problems. This did not let the Governor’s guards blame Bai Feng alone.

Three days in a row, the personnel transfers and recruitment of soldiers of the various legions of Rome were completed; after that, the three legions of Li Xini and others drove out to build the town, and the cavalry legions of Nelson also set off for the border, Rome The city finally became quiet.

Bai Feng, who was idle, had to start preparing for another thing, that is, to help Gattus’ cheetah corps improve its combat effectiveness; in fact, Bai Feng did not intend to change the composition of the cheetah corps. He wanted to arm the cheetah with the Macedonian phalanx Legion!

The Macedonian phalanx is lined up in a long line, with 16 people deep. There is a large gap between soldiers. The Macedonian spear is usually held one to two meters away from the handle. The front of the phalanx is four to six. The spearheads of the platoon soldiers are pointed forward, and the postures of the platoon soldiers holding the spears are inclined at some angles and perpendicular to the ground.

The first three and the last one in each column belong to the key position, so brave and highly skilled soldiers are used. When fighting, the entire phalanx often runs forward in a solid, dense formation, like a siege hammer violently hitting the enemy team.

The macedonian pikemen’s round shield was only 60 centimeters in diameter, which was 30 centimeters smaller than the Roman infantry’s square shield, and the round shield was suspended over the neck, which allowed the infantry to control the huge spear with two hands, and The bodies of each other can be close together.

Usually in the phalanx, each soldier has a space of three feet to display weapons, the standard depth is eight or sixteen; the cumbersome equipment of the Roman infantry is very troublesome to protect each other, but the Macedonians are for attack For the purpose of strict selection of equipment.

The key to the soldiers' survival is not their equipment (the size and weight have been reduced to a considerable extent), nor their companions behind them, but whether they are safe to stay in the huge spear array that any enemy also wants to break through. The Macedonian Phalanx is easier to break than its ancient Greek ‘predecessors’ but the offensive power is far stronger than the former.

The first five spear guns in the formation directly confronted the enemy in the early engagement. Countless spears collided with each other to form a wall of spears, harpooned towards the enemy and attacked the enemy like a mane. Bounce back.

The people behind and in the middle were not idle either. They raised their shields to block the shot bows and arrows, thrust the enemy on the rifle stock with their spires, and thrust their shoulders forward into the front row of soldiers.

When the soldiers in the rear are fighting, countless shaking stocks will also cause unavoidable damage to the enemy in the chaos; and in front of the battle line, as Levy said in writing, each enemy is forced Under the attack of ten spearpoints, enemy soldiers as targets are simply'in short supply' for those spearpoints.

Therefore, each soldier leveled his spear, and it became crucial to find the most critical space in the assassination. The attacker should try to find a wedge in the gaps of countless spear tips.

If the spear is too heavy, the enemy’s resistance will be too great when advancing forward, and it will be exhausted within a few minutes. Few-if any-soldiers think about who he actually stabbed and how much he stabbed. Enemies can succeed if they can advance, and failure will come with the paralysis and unresponsiveness of the whole array caused by the deepening of good fear.

If the spear-soldering soldiers of the first array are defeated, if the enemy bursts into the square formation with a sword, or the situation is worse, they have rushed in from the empty side of the square formation, then disaster will come and they will definitely die .

The auxiliary weapon dagger is just as stupid as a spear. It is also ridiculously short. It can hardly provide any security for the Macedonian soldiers, and the spear-carrying soldiers themselves cannot turn around to resist enemies who have approached them.

But for the opposing team, it is only possible to make the gap that has already been opened larger when they throw away their spears in disgrace; at the same time, when one body squeezes the other body, this humiliating escape cannot be successful.

Once they successfully entered the Phalanx, the enemy began to kill with swords. They cut the belly or groin of the soldiers of the Phalanx, and cut off the limbs of the Soul Flying Scatterers who entered the trap until the entire Phalanx collapsed and the blood corpses were everywhere. Some soldiers have been cut through the abdomen, but they still try to grasp their weapons.

Phalanx soldiers rarely hear the order to stop the advance. In the final analysis, their combat actions are mainly based on contact, feeling, and pressure from the enemy, as well as shouts and rumors circulating in the formation.

The ocean of dust, blood pools, and twisted corpses quickly blinded the eyes of the phalanx soldiers, paralyzed their hearing, and prevented them from making a correct judgment on the situation.

However, if the brave soldiers can maintain the impenetrable wall of spearpoints, while the companions behind help them move forward, then the slaughter will be the other party. It is true that once the phalanx has successfully launched its actions and the spears have successfully started their offensive, then nothing can resist this terrorist power of this iron weapon.

Imagine the unfortunates who have been torn to pieces by the thorns. The victors finally "executed" the conquered. They only appear when they have to be careful to avoid the enemy's weapon wreckage and hand and foot corpses. Intermittent for a moment.

Because of the terrifying nature of this fight, it is no wonder that the soldiers needed by a general are neither gentle and delicate young men, nor elegant and fit muscles, but those who have the guts to have experience and will never shrink from this task. Dirty veteran.

In order to protect the flanks and the rear, before the start of the battle, the light lances were lined up behind the phalanx with a depth of about eight people, while the auxiliary soldiers were lined up in front of the phalanx. Spearmen.
