Chapter 116: Fierce Battle with the Mediterranean

"Damn Chinese, how could they have such strong attack power?" Looking at the Han army rushing in like a tide, Sula was almost crazy, her fists were clenched, and her palms were bleeding.

Last time in the battle, he suffered a great loss under the Han cavalry. Sula thought that the Han army could be stopped by the camp. It has to be said that if the Han army only had the cavalry, there would be no way to use this camp.

Unfortunately, the Han army had three powerful weapons: cavalry, modao, and strong crossbow. For this kind of camp, strong crossbow is the best choice. This is far beyond Sula's imagination. He originally planned to teach the hateful Chinese a hard lesson, but unexpectedly, in the end, he taught the Chinese a hard lesson.

"Hurry up, form a formation!" Sura had some extraordinary features after all. Although she was shocked, she was not panicked and ordered the Roman army to unite the formation.

This Roman legion was the elite of the Roman Empire. It has been on the battlefield for a long time and has a rich experience on the battlefield. When I saw this situation, I knew what to do. There was no need for Sura to order.

Roman soldiers formed a formation, with square shields outside, forming a solid shield formation.

"For Rome!"

The vast majority of the people in the Roman legion were Roman citizens and loyal to the Roman Empire. They would fight to the end for Rome. The more they were in such a dangerous moment, the more they showed their courage. Not only did they form formations, but they also yelled at the battle number.

The sound of war horns resounded throughout the world, and the battle horns with the Han army came one after another. If you don’t let me, I won’t let you, it’s like you’re singing.

The Roman soldiers' eyes were flashing with beast-like light, with a look of perseverance on their faces, holding the dagger tightly, preparing to fight in close combat.

Rome was full of courage and spirit. It was with this courage and spirit that the Romans swept across Europe, conquered everything, and were invincible in battle, creating the Roman Empire, which was the source of Western civilization.

Unfortunately, their opponent is the Han army, and they are destined to be defeated.

"Rumor!" The Han army roared the battle roar, lined up in a neat battle formation, and pressed towards the Rome formation.

At this time, because it was in the camp, the Roman legion could not form a formation, but formed many large formations. Because there were tent blocks in the camp, this could only be done.

"Let the Chinese taste the courage of Rome! I want the Chinese to splatter blood on the spot!" Sula was in the formation, her eyes flashing, staring at the Han army that was driving up, full of confidence.

The cavalry is not as good as the Han army, and the distance attack is not as good as the Han army. If even close combat is not as good as the Han army, Rome is not a big deal? Sula has absolute confidence in Rome's close combat.

It’s not Sura’s arrogantness, but because the Roman Empire was able to reach its present day mainly relying on infantry formations, which depended on close combat, rather than cavalry and long-range killing.

It can be said that melee battles were the most terrifying thing about the Roman Empire. It was precisely because of this that the Roman legion encountered the Gauls, Thracians, and Germans, and was invincible.

Roman swords shine in the sunlight, which is very terrifying.

Suddenly, a huge mirror appeared, shining with light, which was so stimulating that people couldn't even open their eyes.

"How come there is a mirror? Ah, that's the Chinese sword!" Sula was surprised at first, and then she understood. She saw Mo Dao holding up Mo Dao with his hand high, and the sunlight reflected over, which was no different from a mirror.

"ah!"

"ah!"

With the strong slash of the Mo Dao, the screams of the Roman soldiers rang out, and the originally extremely strong shield wall was broken by the Han army without any effort.

Although the shield wall of the Roman legion was extremely strong, when encountering a heavy sword, it was just a tofu block. The square shield was either broken or deformed. In a word, it lost its function as a barrier.

The shield wall is the core of the Roman legion and the barrier of the Roman legion. Once the shield wall loses its function, the Roman soldiers will be exposed, and the result will be only one, that is, they will become dead souls under the sword.

Mo Dao was extremely heavy, and the power of a slash was quite impressive. A mere shield could not be stopped. Mo Dao's hand slashed, and all the people and shields were cleaned up, and there was an extra ground of minced meat and broken shields.

"this……"

Looking at the minced meat, shattered internal organs and shields, Sura was speechless again, her mouth wide open and her throat made a strange cooing sound.

As he thought, melee combat was the best tactic of the Roman legion and would win 100%. However, the development of the war was far from his expectations. Sura was unprepared for this result, as if she was struck by lightning. She was "buzzing" in her mind, her hands and feet were chilling, and cold sweats were on her back.

Sura is desperate!

Sula has experienced life and death, rolled in the pile of dead people, bathed in blood, and experienced failure, and has never felt this kind of feeling of the end of the world.

The Roman Legion did not have experienced bloody battles. Even if it was not as good as the enemy in some aspects, it always had its strengths. It was not like the current situation, which completely suppressed the Han army without any strengths.

The cavalry is not as good as the Han army, and the long-range killing is almost blank, and even the proud melee battle is a mess!

Sura has never fought this kind of battle, and the Roman Empire has never fought!

This battle was still a one-sided massacre, and the result was destined.

The only difference is that the Roman soldiers were brave and unyielding, fighting to the end. Even though they knew there was no hope of victory, they still shouted "for Rome" and fought desperately with the Han army.

They were the biggest beneficiaries of the Roman Empire and the loyalty of the Roman Empire. If they were left behind, they would be left behind. Of course, the wise Wei Qing would not do such a fool, but decisively issued a massacre order to "no one left".

The Han army implemented this order very resolutely. Under the charge of the Han army, the Roman army was eventually wiped out and none of them ran away.

At the end of the battle, the Roman legion saw that the situation was out and prepared to escape. However, they were in the camp, and the villages surrounded others like prisons, cutting off their way to life.

In the end, even Sula was captured alive.

Sula's courageous spirit is unquestionable. Although he was captured alive, he still cursed: "Damn Chinese! I don't accept it! I won't surrender, I want to defend Rome!"

Wei Qing rode a horse and came to Sula. He waved the whip in his hand and made a crisp sound. He looked at Sula with a smile and said, "Sula, I know you are very brave. You are extremely brave. You will not surrender easily. However, I have no intention of asking you to surrender. It doesn't matter whether you surrender or not. If you are so noisy, I have my own way to deal with you!"

"Hmph!" Sula broke the corner of her mouth disdainfully: "I'm not afraid of death. If you kill me and cut me, I don't care!" This was said firmly, making people dare not have any doubts.

"Haha!" Wei Qing raised his head to the sky and laughed loudly: "You are not afraid of death, but people like you are afraid of insults! Sula, I tell you that the great Han Dynasty has many talented people, especially the carvings. I can carve you into a woman and let you die, if you don't shut up!"

“…”

Wei Qing's words hit Sula's vital point. Sula was very arrogant, not afraid of torture, not afraid of death, but fear of insult. If the Han Dynasty carved him into a woman and executed him again, he would really not accept this insult. He opened his mouth for a long time, but there was no sound at all.

"Prepare it!" Wei Qing waved his hand and the soldiers took Sula away.

"What are the abnormal movements of the Gauls?" Wei Qing turned his head and looked at Gongsun He.

"Haha!" Gongsun He laughed: "What kind of abnormal movement can there be? At first, the Gauls thought we could not beat the Romans and wanted to take advantage of the troubled waters. What they could not have imagined was that the great man was so strong that the Romans were no match for us at all. They destroyed the Roman legion that made the Gauls helpless. They were so scared that they lost their six souls, and they fled! General Guard, give the last general an army, and I will give the Gallics a certificate to defeat them!"

"The Gauls have to solve it. But it is not the most important thing at the moment. The Roman Empire is solved!" Wei Qing shook his head and rejected Gongsun He's proposal: "Transmission: march towards Rome!"

"General Wei, we defeated Sula, and Gaul was scared. This is a good opportunity to advance! The opportunity must not be lost, and if it is lost, it will never be lost!" Gongsun He agreed very much.

"General Gongsun He, our front line has been long enough. If we fight the Gauls again, it will probably be counterproductive. You must know that if you can't eat too much, the most important thing at the moment is to destroy the Roman Empire, stabilize the situation, and then do these things!" Wei Qing looked far away.

"It's reasonable!" Gongsun He pondered for a moment and stopped persevering.

"Is this Spain?" Cheng Bushi stood on the coast, looking at the Han army landing, and couldn't help laughing: "The Strait of Gibraltar is not wide, and we will be able to pass it soon."

"Brothers: Hurry up! Hurry up! We are going to fight the Romans! It's too late, the general destroyed Rome, and we can't even drink soup!" Cheng Buzhi couldn't help but waved and urged.

"I hope the general's actions are not too ruthless!" Cheng Buzhi knew very well that Zhou Yang was using his troops. If he was slow, Rome would destroy Zhou Yang.

In the Mediterranean, the sea water is as clear as green, like a smooth mirror.

A fleet of nearly a hundred was sailing south, and it was the Roman fleet led by Scipio Little.

The Roman Empire, Greece, Seleucid, Egypt, and the Kingdom of Pentus, were often naval battles in the Mediterranean, so their fleets were indispensable.

Fighting for the Mediterranean Sea has always been a tradition of countries surrounding the Mediterranean, not only in ancient times, but also in modern times.

Little Scipio stood on the deck, staring at the front, with a look of determination on his face, and his heart kept looking forward: "Chinese, if you encounter the great Roman fleet in the Mediterranean, you will be dead!"

Scipio was not unfamiliar with naval battles in the Mediterranean, so he had fought many times. If he met the Han army in the Mediterranean, he would be sure to kill the Han army without leaving any armor.

"Sir, look!" The guard beside him pointed ahead and screamed.

Little Scipio's eyes widened and looked forward, and hundreds of ships were sailing towards him. These ships, including merchant ships and fleets, were filled with red flags, fluttering in the wind and making noises.

"It's the Han army! It's the Han army!" Although Scipio had never seen the Han army, he knew that the Han army's flag was red and immediately made a judgment.

"Haha!" Little Scipio was in a very comfortable mood. He looked up to the sky and laughed: "Chinese, today is your end! Come on, rush up and beat the Chinese to the sea to feed the fish!"

"Boll the Chinese into the sea to feed the fish!" The Maro soldier cheered.

The Roman Empire was not only a hero on land, but also a hegemon on the sea. Their fleets were rampant in the Mediterranean. Even the Seleucid Empire, the Kingdom of Bendu, and the Egyptian navy were not opponents. How could they care about the Han army coming from afar?

The Roman fleet was lined up in battle formations and drove up. The Roman soldiers began to prepare for battle and prepared the olive oil.

During that period, the naval battles that took place in the Mediterranean were very single, with two main methods, one was platoon battle and the other was fire attack. The platoon battle was when the ships of the two armies approached, rushed to the enemy's ships, and engaged in hand-to-hand combat. Fire attack was to ignite olives, throw them onto the enemy's ships, and burn the enemy's ships.

Little Scipio was full of confidence, but he didn't expect it to be, and the Han army was even more icing on the cake. The Han army's fleet was divided into two, surrounded from the left and right wings, and penetrated directly behind him.

Scipio saw through this tactic at a glance. The Han army tried to cut off his retreat and wiped him out. Scipio didn't care about this at all. This was a naval battle, not a land battle. On land, using cavalry to cut off the enemy's retreat will have a good effect.

However, when fighting at sea, the ships did not have that fast speed and took a long time to get behind. Furthermore, when the Han army was divided into two, the troops were dispersed. He could concentrate all the fleets and launch a fierce attack on the Han army. It is very likely that the Han army's fleet had not yet made his back, and he had already won.

"Chinese people don't understand naval battles!" Little Scipio was very happy and shouted: "Prepare to fight!"

Under his command, the Roman fleet rushed up to the right wing of the Han army. While rushing, preparing for close combat, the Roman soldiers stood on the side of the ship, holding a shield in their left hand and a sword in their right hand. As long as the two ships approached, they could lower the gangway, rush to the Han army ship, and fight with the Han army.

Another part of the Roman soldiers were preparing for fire attack. Olive oil was put in a jar, lit, and emitted a raging fire. As long as you approach, you would throw it onto the Han army ship. If that were the case, the Han army's fleet would be destroyed.

"Chinese, it's time for me to avenge my shame!" Little Scipio was full of confidence and pressed his hand on the hilt of the sword.

"What is that?" As the two armies approached, Scipio suddenly discovered that there seemed to be many monsters on the Han army's ship. He said it was a monster, but he was not angry. He said it was not a monster. He was lying there and he looked like a monster.

"It's still shining!" In the sunlight, a flash of light flashed, and Scipio became even more puzzled.

It was a powerful crossbow. Scipio had never seen it before, so he naturally didn't recognize it. The powerful crossbow was a powerful weapon for ancient China to enter the world, so how could Westerners know it?

"The Chinese have a good protection. Unfortunately, this is a naval battle, not a land battle." Little Scipio looked at the Han soldiers standing on the side of the ship with his helmet and armor, and couldn't help but laugh at him: "The naval battle should be light and flexible! Such a heavy armor should be worn on his body, and it is not appropriate to fight a naval battle! Chinese, I will teach you how to fight a naval battle!"

With the eyes of Scipio, he can naturally see his strength in the Han army's armor.

"Preparation!" Little Scipio was even more happy to find that the armor would become a burden to the Han army.

"Swish!"
