The City of Terror

Friends, book friends! Is there a monthly ticket? Come a few and stimulate the poor road -

Seeing the emergence of more and more ancient Roman troops, even Wei Xiaobei did not dare to pursue.

To say that in such a street, these ancient Roman troops want to kill Wei Xiaobei, it is basically impossible, but it is hard to say that killing too much will lead to a more powerful ancient Roman warrior.

In any case, this killing also brought Weifang North 4100 evolution point, which is a very rich income.

Wei Xiaobei is very satisfied, the danger of the gray world seems to be very low.

Just pay attention to it, then you can quickly brush to the massive evolution point.

Of course, this premise must be not greedy.

Wei Xiaobei was curious about the fact that these ancient Roman troops gathered in the horns. They climbed up the buildings on the street, and with their roots under their feet, they were far behind these ancient Roman troops.

Gradually, Wei Xiaobei saw it. The direction of these ancient Roman troops should be outside the city.

With the advancement of these ancient Roman troops, the buildings on both sides of the street gradually changed towards the ancient Carthage style. The tall stone pillars supported the buildings, the tall stone gates, etc., let Wei Xiaobei The sense of violation has retreated, and I am interested in viewing these majestic buildings.

In the process of following these ancient Roman troops, Wei Xiaobei was not smooth sailing. The distance between many buildings was far away, and Wei Xiaobei could only go down to the ground.

But often at this time, there will be some ancient Roman troops emerging from Wei Xiaobei. After killing the two teams of ancient Roman soldiers, Wei Xiaobei had to disguise himself as an ancient Roman warrior.

After all, the more you go outside the city, the more ancient Roman troops appear, and Wei Xiaobei does not want to expose himself for the time being.

Put on a chain mail, put on a helmet, pull the underarm, and grab a few javelins. After Wei Xiaobei waited for a while, he smashed into the front of a team of ancient Roman soldiers and a team of Carthage soldiers.

The Carthage soldiers were unlucky enough to be surrounded by Roman soldiers who were twice as many as they were in a broken street garden.

Relative to the denser defensive formation of the Carthage soldiers. The offensive formation of the ancient Roman soldiers was sparse. The distance between each soldier was about 1.5 meters wide. When the soldiers in the first row waved their weapons to make a round of attacks, the soldiers in the second row would be separated. Pounce on it and attack the enemy again.

This round of attack mode. The physical strength of each soldier was better preserved, and the Carthage soldiers were exhausted and eventually killed.

After some fights, the ancient Roman soldiers smashed the Carthage soldiers at a small price.

From beginning to end, Wei Xiaobei did not show more than one ancient Roman reserve.

These ancient Roman soldiers did not speak after the end of the battle. They only silently took away the more valuable things of the Carthage soldiers as spoils, and then gathered them into teams and proceeded.

Wei Xiaobei Station arrived at the last position in the queue, and on the left was an adult soldier. On the right is a young soldier.

In fact, this division of Roman soldiers has a strong practical effect.

In ancient Rome, citizens who owned property were classified according to the number of assets, and thus became the standard of service.

They started military service from the age of 17, from the beginning of service to the end of the fourth year, they were become young soldiers, and later known as adult soldiers, and veterans who have served for more than eight years have accumulated corresponding assets, regardless of their equipment or fighting. Skills are also much better than young soldiers and adult soldiers. It is therefore called the reserve soldier.

From this name, light can be seen that their strength is strong.

The original poor did not have to perform military service because they had no property, but as the Roman Empire continued to expand, the number of troops required was increasing. These poor people were also recruited for service, and because of the poor equipment, they were only light infantry.

Of course, they are not the same as the light infantry for the rest of their lives, as long as they have enough spoils and accumulated wealth. Those who can survive in them can often become reserve soldiers.

When the whole team marched forward, no one spoke, and even the pace of advancement was relatively neat, which shows that this team is well trained.

After all, in the BC era, the military did not have much uniform training, combat skills, etc., and they needed to hone themselves. As a result, when marching, they were more uniform and tidy, even if they were well trained.

The march was slightly boring. After five kilometers, passing through the huge hollow-style city gate, Wei Xiaobei could not help but feel a sigh of relief.

Outside the city is a huge plain, a few kilometers away from the city gate, the ancient Roman squares are neatly arranged.

Behind Wei Xiaobei, a team of ancient Roman soldiers are emerging from more than ten gates that are more than ten meters high and more than twenty meters wide, and are gathered toward the plains.

Wei Xiaobei’s ancient Roman soldiers were inconspicuous, like a drop of water, and they blended into the sea in a blink of an eye.

Before the soldiers of this team had approached, there was an ancient Roman light cavalry who held the eagle flag and rushed over and shouted: "You come with me."

"Yes, sir!"

The captain of the 100-strong team did not hesitate to take the team with his own team and followed the eagle-flagged cavalry and ran towards a square that had not yet fully formed.

Wei Xiaobei mixed in this team of soldiers, naturally it is impossible to chaos, but its eyes hidden behind the visor, but quickly looked around.

Precision calculation starts!

In a twinkling of an eye, Wei Xiaobei reached a conclusion.

Here, each square is about four hundred people.

The square array that Wei Xiaobei saw at this time has already exceeded thirty-two.

In other words, the number of ancient Roman soldiers here has exceeded 12,000.

According to Wei Xiaobei, the basic unit of combat in ancient Rome is the 100-man team. Every two hundred teams is a squadron. In actual combat, every three squadrons form a brigade.

Each legion has 1,200 light infantry, 1,200 spearmen (youth soldiers), 1,200 main soldiers (adult soldiers), 600 reserve soldiers and 300 cavalry, totaling 4,500.

In addition, in actual combat, each legion must also be equipped with some auxiliary arms.

Wei Xiaobei’s eyes fell on a square that was not far away.

This square is completely different from other squares composed of soldiers. It consists of some chariots that are towed by four horses with a half-meter-long spike on the side of the wheel and three on the chariot. Soldiers, one is responsible for driving, the other two are holding long guns and javelins.

There are also eight cavalry phalanx, each of which has more than two hundred cavalry, but it is also increasing.

Thus, on the plains, at least two ancient Roman legions have been gathered at this time.

But looking at the ancient Roman soldiers who were constantly pouring out of the gates behind them, there were more than two regular legions of ancient Roman soldiers who wanted to gather.

At the forefront of all the squares is a white chariot, standing on the chariot with a giant man over three meters tall, wearing a white robe with a Greek style and a piece of outside. Bronze half body, holding a golden giant shield in the left hand and a huge mace in the right hand.

Behind him stood a commander with a golden horn.

There is no doubt that this giant man should be the commander of the ancient Roman army.

Is Big Scipio? Or Quintus. Fabian?

Wei Xiaobei’s mind immediately revealed some information. This scene should be during the second Punic War between ancient Rome and Carthage, and during the second Punic War, the ancient Roman side was the most famous. The commander of the team is the two.

Quintus Fabian was the archon of the ancient Romans. At the same time, when Carthage commander Hannibal attacked ancient Rome, he took a famous procrastination tactic and eventually saved the ancient Romans and obtained the procrastinator. Honorary title.

The Great Scipio, known as the Great Scipio who conquered Africa, completely defeated Hannibal in the Battle of Zama, and this battle was also the last battle of Carthage Commander Hannibal.

Thinking of this, Wei Xiaobei’s gaze looked towards the opposite side.

In the place more than five kilometers in front of the ancient Roman square, an army was also stationed.

Because of the distance, even Wei Weibei's super line of sight can only see some vague human figures.

The only thing that can be seen clearly is the battlefield composed of more than 30 elephants.

To be honest, Wei Xiaobei first saw an elephant with a height of more than ten meters!

They were covered with a thick chain of quilts, and the hem fell to the knees of the legs, with a semi-empty helmet on the head and a small attic on the back, with five ancient Roman soldiers sitting inside. Picking up the hand, the remaining four are armed with long guns, javelin adult soldiers, and even on the tip of the elephant's nose are loaded with a sharp head.

It is conceivable that when such a war elephant starts to launch a charge, what kind of horror scene will it be.

Fortunately, there are not many battlefields like this. From the beginning to the end, there are only four.

In addition to these war elephants, the number of other Carthage squares is no less than that of the ancient Roman side.

Compared with the ancient Roman side, the square of the cavalry on the side of the Carthage seems to be less. In addition, there seem to be several squares that are stone throwers.

Well, for this type of stone thrower, Wei Xiaobei also has a little understanding.

Due to the very developed business, Carthage also hired a lot of mercenaries in the war, and these stone throwers should be from Parma.

The stone thrower is not as useless as the one written in the novel. It is said that at a distance of 30 meters, these Parma stone throwers can do everything, and the fist-sized stone squats on the person after the stone is accelerated, even if it is wearing armor. Both may be interrupted by bones. (To be continued.)
