Chapter 363 Blood Red Sea

"Arrange the square array and welcome the enemy!"

In the forest and dense jungle of arrows, in the danger of falling, Titus, the Roman general who was ordered to attack the main fleet of the Qin army, was the supreme commander of the first wave of landing troops. He shouted at the top of his lungs, trying to gather the soldiers who landed in advance to fight against the closer and closer Qin cavalry.

Whoosh!

A flying arrow is approaching with the sound of the wind!

"Be careful, General!" A personal soldier shouted and flew to the side, suddenly hitting Titus's solid body to the side.

This collision allowed Titus to escape the injury, but the loyal soldier lost his life. On his back, the tail feather of an eagle feather was trembling.

The arrow penetrated the chest and was full of strength. Even if he was a god of Daluo, he would be helpless by being shot at the center of the heart by this arrow.

"The Orientals who should be killed, you devils!" Titus kicked the short sword, his eyes red as blood. Finally, he discovered the culprit who caused the arrow.

"What a pity."

Li Guang, who took out an arrow from the quiver pot four hundred steps away, sighed lightly, and the arrow he had just shot was exactly what he had shot.

The shooting of the enemy general with one arrow was the greatest contribution to the charge. Li Guang, who had already seen that Titus was the largest official in the Roman army, was very sorry that he did not seize this opportunity.

The two of them stared at each other like cockfighting. Although time was only a moment, they left untouched traces in their hearts.

"Bulle the soldiers and throw them!"

When the distance was approaching ninety to one hundred and ten steps (equivalent to sixty feet), the beaten Romans finally began to show their power.

The heavy javelin fell into the charging cavalry formation with strong wind, and a bloody rain suddenly started. The cavalryman shot by the javelin screamed and fell off his horse's back. What's even more, the deadly horses that were sprinting at high speed were frightened and lost their front hooves and lie on the ground. As a result, the cavalry behind them were not ready and immediately collided.

The power of the heavy javelin is indeed powerful. For the Qin cavalry, the enemy in this battle is completely different from the previous ones, including new weapons, new formations, and the enemy's overwhelming advantage in power.

"kill!"

The bloody nature aroused the fighting spirit of the Qin army soldiers. For a long time, they had not been as full of fighting spirit as they are today. Even in Gaofucheng, the Seleucids gave the Qin cavalry a little bit of surprise.

But today, the Romans' performance really excited the cavalry. The heavy javelin is indeed powerful, but it is still worse than the sharp sword of Qin.

After throwing the heavy javelin in one round, the broken pins were no longer useful, and the tactic of relying on ropes to pull injured enemy soldiers was not feasible, because the Qin army's combat cavalry rushed to the front faster than ropes.

Snow-bright sword raised.

Compared with the short swords that the Romans assassinated, the Qin swords used the slashing tactics to the extreme. The weapons of both sides were tailor-made according to their actual characteristics. The Romans were tall and strong, and had considerable advantages in close combat. The assassination characteristics of the short swords were conducive to their performance; while the Qin cavalry's swords were powerful weapons such as slashing and killing. With the speed of the war horses sprinting at high speed, the iron sharp swords danced wildly in the air to harvest their lives, which had become the signature performance of the Qin cavalry.

The melee has entered a white-hot stage.

When he learned that the front troops were intercepted by the Qin army, Marclus hurriedly ordered the follow-up troops to land on the shore regardless of everything. He knew what would be waiting for him once the Titus troops were driven back to the sea?

In order to speed up the landing, he even drew some of the warships that rescued Elmons and used the flank reinforcements to Titus. In this way, the situation of Elmons, which was besieged by the Qin and Egyptian joint fleet, was suddenly extremely dangerous.

On the sea, the encirclement and annihilation battle is still underway.

Compared with the Qin and the Egyptian joint fleet, which had completely dominated the momentum, the Romans who were aggressive at the beginning have now become cowards who were beaten but not resisted.

"Hurry up, send a signal to the commander and ask for reinforcements!"

This was Elmons' shout, and he looked embarrassed as the commander of the squadron. An earlier fire caused him to lose nearly one-third of his ships in vain. What annoyed him even more was that due to the entanglement of the Egyptian fleet on the flanks, his fleet and the main fleet could never meet.

There were Qin warships on all sides, and the sun was sunk, and Elmons's squadron had only less than twenty warships left, while the enemy besieged him had no less than sixty Egyptian fleets. In the face of such a huge gap, even Elmons, who was brave and unyielding, had to lower his head.

"General, we have been abandoned. Commander Marclus has already landed with the main force. We have no reinforcements!"

The soldier's answer made Elmons desperate. He knew that he had been abandoned. In this battle, except for God's blessing, he was lucky enough to break through the siege, there was only one word death left.

"rush!"

Elmons is worthy of being a capable general of Scipio. With deep hatred for the Qin people and resentment towards Marclus's death, Elmons gathered most of the soldiers and paddlers on the squadron onto five fairly intact battleships, preparing to fight for a desperate attempt.

Where is it so easy to break through?

Ying Bu, who remembered Elmons' previous pursuit, quickly adjusted his defense. On the one hand, they organized forces to siege and kill other single ships, and on the other hand, they began to carry out counterattacks on the five full ships that had begun to be launched.

The repeated collisions between ships may cause damage to the hull and water inflow, but both sides have ignored it, bumped, rushed, and killed. As long as the enemy can be killed, no matter what he can do!

The naval battle was in chaos, and it was more than nothing on the shore.

Just when Marclus' reinforcements came ashore, Fu Ge had already landed on the other side of the coast and met with Li Lie, both sides had their eyes red from their kills.

More troops, more troops, more troops!

"Charge and drive the Romans back into the sea!"

"Kill all the damn Qin people, our target is Cairo, the city of Alexandria!"

The shouts of shouts spread far and wide in the night. In addition to these sounds that can still be heard clearly, the rest are more roars like wolves and tigers.

During the melee, a Roman soldier holding a short sword quietly hid behind his companion's javelin, preparing to take time to get a bargain. It was also his luck that a single Qin cavalryman ran over staggeringly. Looking at the pool of blood on his chest, he was obviously seriously injured. It is estimated that he could survive until now and not die, thanks to the war horse Tuofu.

Of course, the javelins would not let go of such a good prey, but it is impossible to stab and kill in close combat. The crazy war horses are galloping like thunder, and they cannot catch up with their feet.

Throw-.

Three heavy javelins hung parabola and went towards the Qin soldiers who were shaking their bodies. In the face of such an attack, even the uninjured soldiers might not be able to avoid them.

"Ah!" A scream came out, and the body of the Qin cavalry, who was hit by a javelin in his chest, flew up from the horse, and landed obliquely in front of the Roman soldiers who wanted to take advantage of it.

"Haha, God Amus bless you!" The excited Roman soldier shouted, and swung his sword toward Qin's neck.

"Well!"

Almost at the same time, blood splattered. Although the seriously injured Qin soldiers were in two parts, the Romans did not get it well. The heavy collision made the dizzy Qin soldiers wake up, and they rose up like swords, just passing through the Romans' crotch.

The Roman soldiers covered their lower bodies and howled shrillly, losing their vital life. What's the point of living? It's better to die.

Fortunately, his whine didn't last long, and a sharp arrow made him completely relieved.

The size of the Roman legion was equivalent to a division of the later army. It consisted of ten brigades, about 4,500 to 5,000 soldiers, including about 300 cavalry. However, this time, since Marclus' legion was fighting across the sea, the cavalry was replaced by a longbowman.

The brigade is equivalent to the battalion-level unit of later generations, consisting of 450 to 570 soldiers, and the brigade is equivalent to the company level. Each brigade is composed of two 100 teams, equivalent to a platoon.

According to this organization, the more than 30,000 Roman troops commanded by Marclus could form a total of six legions, and with a large number of slaves, it can be said that the Romans formed twenty legions. Such a scale is extremely terrifying for opponents who are not familiar with the combat characteristics of the Romans.

Fortunately, Fu Ge, a stubborn guy, could not be considered a normal person, and the 15,000 cavalry under his command was even more powerful.

When cavalry and infantry confront each other on the plain, it goes without saying who suffers and who is in power, unless the combat power of the two armies is too different, or perhaps infantry have hot weapons in hand like musketeers in later generations.

After round after round of impact, Marclus found that the only thing he could do in the end was to fill the reserve team in the battlefield again and again.

Although the number of legions armed with slaves is enough to bluff, their combat power is very different from that of the real regular Roman legion. It would be fine if the opponent is not strong in this situation, but the worst thing is that this time the opponent is the Qin cavalry that is not inferior to the Romans.

Killing, the flowing blood has dyed the beach red, but it has dyed the sea surface in this area into a real 'red sea'.
