Sweep the World

Chapter 840: : A friendship boat that will capsize at any time

The armored heavy cavalry of the Han army wears heavy armor even with men and horses. The key parts are also designed with steel plates. In particular, the front chest of the horses is not only protected by steel plates, but also has a promising spike.

The speed of heavy cavalry is not much faster, but even if the people and horses are in heavy armor, even if the speed is not fast, the impact force brought by it is definitely not blocked by humans, especially those who block it. Under the premise that there is no close formation.

A distance of more than one thousand meters is still too far for a heavy cavalry, and their full impact cannot exceed one hundred and fifty meters. That is determined by the heavy armor itself, even if it is a strong horse. The endurance of leaning a camel for hundreds of kilograms to sprint for more than 150 meters.

A row of equipped heavy cavalry cannot sprint to the end, so tactics are needed. Each row is responsible for impacting one wave. After one row is finished, they change to the next. It looks like a wave collision tactic. It is simple but extremely effective. Anyone who gets in the way is not shot down by a gun. , Is to become the mud under the horseshoe.

The Romans did not organize the tortoise formation they were best at, but facing the wave collision tactics of the Han army's armored heavy cavalry, there was no tortoise formation of sufficient thickness even to withstand the collision of a row of Han army's armored heavy cavalry, or It blocked the second collision, but it couldn't stop the third collision. The formation was quickly torn apart, and then the fourth row was about to meet the impact. Soon the whole formation collapsed, and you just waited if you didn't run. He died on the spot.

This battle broke out quite suddenly, especially for the Romans. They were preparing for the welcome ceremony, and even if they wanted to break their heads, they didn't expect the Han army to suddenly rise up.

Perhaps it cannot be said that it was the sudden uprising of the Han army. It was Archbishop Peter who issued a declaration of war. He threatened to destroy all the other gods on behalf of his "lord." Then he declared war on all the religions, including In the Han country, which is not a state of religion, whoever makes Zhu Xia's emperor is a god.

Wang Meng had to be tough in the face of someone threatening to kill his emperor. Even if he would die in this battle, he would die to defend the emperor, and it would go down in history and be destined to stay in history.

The rest of the Han army is going to fight even more. They have pledged allegiance to the emperor and are willing to shed the last drop of blood for the emperor. Even if the whole army is destroyed in this remote country, they will not sacrifice in vain. Maybe it will be two years later, maybe it will be. Longer, countless Han troops will appear in Constantinople, using iron and fire to tell the Romans how stupid they had done.

"Send someone to find Archbishop Peter!" Gallus yelled hysterically: "You must find him!"

Gallus definitely has the reason to become hysterical. He is the highest person in charge of the welcoming ceremony. After such an incident, his troops are being killed in large numbers, and the battle is also taking place in Constantinople. Whether you lose or win, it has been permanently nailed to the pillar of shame in the history of the city of Constantinople.

"Assemble more troops." Julian's face had already smiled again, and he began to smile all the time: "Regardless of the cause, we can only win, not lose."

"The Han people will get the treatment they deserve after surrendering, and all the Persians must die!" Gallus firmly believed in the final victory of this battle: "This is Constantinople!"

The current Roman capital is Constantinople, not the Roman city of Italy. The reason is naturally that the only Augustus in Rome is in Constantinople. Wherever the supreme ruler chooses, the capital of a country is there.

The city is full of noises. For those who don’t know the truth, no one understands how a good welcome ceremony turned into a fight. The war that broke out in the city of Constantinople came so much. Suddenly, it completely caught people off guard.

The fighting originally only took place at the wharf and the Xichengmen, and then spread to the main street of the Xichengmen, and then spread out to the Xicheng District. It didn't take long for the entire city to become chaotic.

A city, especially a city with a large population, is absolutely indispensable for the existence of petty thieves. Whenever the city is in chaos, it is the time for them to fish in troubled waters. They will look for any opportunity to increase their wealth. Street robbery and house robbery will surge in a short period of time. Inevitably, more vicious things such as **** and murder will occur, and some will even deliberately set fire.

The location of Constantinople is the intersection of Eastern and Western civilizations. Not only are there Romans in the city, in fact, about 60,000 of the city’s population of less than 100,000 are Romans, and the rest are the rest of the ethnic groups. , Which includes Persians with a number of not less than 10,000.

It is no secret that Persian soldiers and Roman soldiers broke out in Constantinople. The Persian soldiers fought with arms in the Roman capital, and the Roman soldiers were killed. The anger of the Romans was instantly ignited. The citizens among them didn't say anything about wearing armor and holding weapons and rushing to the place where the war broke out. They would start when they saw the Persians along the way. The fighting between the army spread to the people and evolved into bloodshed between different ethnic groups.

First, ordinary Persians were involved, and then the other races, a Roman master killed his Persian slaves in a rage. The rest of the slaves who were extremely frightened and did not want to die could only resist and let the slaves be caught. Into this sudden outbreak of war.

"The city is in complete chaos." Wang Meng could see that thick smoke had risen in many places in the city, and he heard constant screams in his ears: "We are not here to conquer Constantinople, we should stop. ."

Cai Mian nodded and said: "From a military perspective, this chaotic city does have a chance to conquer, but we really are not here to attack the city."

"We shouldn't stop first." Wang Meng turned his head to look at Dou'a, and said, "Send someone to communicate with the Persians and let them exit the city."

Dou'a saluted but did not immediately respond, he knew that Wang Meng had something to say.

"Tell our soldiers to disintegrate the resistance of the fighting enemy as quickly as possible." Wang Meng thought for a while, and then said: "Control the dock, but don't do more killings."

Dou'a called the soldiers, almost repeating what Wang Meng had said, before reaching into his arms and taking out half of the talisman, and handing it out.

The soldier took the Talisman and gave a military salute. He took a few steps away and summoned a few people to leave together.

Constantinople was completely in chaos. A city that was in chaos on its own, the control of the gate was also seized. The army tried to advance repeatedly but was crushed and retreated. For the city, it was equivalent to being attacked into the city. It is difficult to counterattack inside.

"We have been retreating." Julian's army also joined the fight against the Han army. He could smile at Wang Meng who was not far away, then turned his attention to Gallus and said: "I just watched. When a few Chinese leave, guess what they are doing."

"I hate your face with a smirk." Even though he is a half-brother, Gallus has always disliked Julian, and he can even say that he hates it very much: "Just say anything, don't Play your tricks."

"I guess they are going to get the Persians out of the city." Julian believed in his own wisdom. He once again looked at Wang Meng and said to Gallus: "The angels of the Han Empire stayed where they were, and they didn't even make it. Guarding against bow and arrow movements, he firmly believed that we would not kill him, which proved that this battle was not what the Han Empire wanted."

"Peter has to take full responsibility for this matter!" Gallus emphasized this point very much, and did not add a respectful title after Peter's name: "You need to prove this for me!"

"The Han people are very confident, and they also firmly believe that they are the most powerful country known in the world." Julian did not respond to Gallus' request. If this incident can hit Gallus, it would be good for him not to fall into trouble. How could it be possible? Willing to reach out. He has been paying attention to the situation at Xichengmen for a long time, and has already observed a fact: "Except for the first wave of about six or seven hundred Han troops, no new Han troops have poured into the city. They are maintaining their restraint and using this information. Come to show us that Constantinople was not taken."

"They can attack?!" Gallus seemed to have heard some joke, but couldn't laugh at all: "Constantinople does not count the army brought by you and me. It has 30,000 elite guards. There are one hundred thousand citizens!"

Indeed, even if the capital of a country is caught off guard at the beginning, as long as the garrison reacts, resists layer by layer, and then uses the advantage of the terrain to advance steadily, as long as the number is not too much inferior to the attacker, or the internal collapse, which is it? So easy to be conquered.

"Soon there will be fewer than 100,000 citizens." Julian was saying that he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, but it was an inevitable result: "Persian soldiers enter the city, the Persians in the city will become scapegoats, even if they do not die here. In chaos, you will be expelled from the city later."

Gallus doesn't like Julian, but he has to admit that Julian is smart. What he was thinking now was how much oil and water there was in the cause of expelling Persians and whether he could rely on search to make up for his losses.

Julian was a little strange. The Roman soldiers who joined the fight were his own and Gallus's. They were also only the garrison who stood guard at the beginning. The garrison who should have come to the battle has not appeared for a long time.

Gallus yelled more suddenly: "The line of defense is broken!"

Julian has eyes to see, the Han's uniformed heavy cavalry is so fierce that it is not decent. The nearest Han's uniformed heavy cavalry has reached within a hundred meters, and you can even see the Hans wearing heavy armor. Pushing forward, the Roman legion that they were proud of was either retreating in a panic, or fleeing in all directions.

After the first Han army uniformed heavy cavalry joined the Han army protecting Wang Meng and others, more uniformed heavy cavalry arrived. Their arrival changed the formation of the Han army. The infantry was on the outer side with heavy equipment. The cavalry is on the inside and becomes an elongated oval.

The heavy infantry in the back arrived one after another, and the formation of the Han army changed again. The periphery was all equipped heavy infantry with a shield and a spear in one hand, or a broad sword in both hands. The inner layer was originally to protect Wang Meng and others. The soldiers' soldiers, and further down, are equipped heavy cavalry. On the contrary, Wang Meng and others have always stayed on the outskirts of the army, and are the closest to the Romans such as Gallus and Julian who have been staying on the scene.

The long and narrow street has not been fighting, and the directions extending to the west to the west gates are Han people, and the people on the east side are Romans. Both sides stand quietly on this long and narrow street.

"I'm going forward." Julian retracted the sword in its scabbard and smiled at Gallus and asked, "Are you coming?"

Gallus hesitated. The Han army he saw was blood stains on metal armor, and he could even see the limbs and organs of some people hanging, which looked very bloody. Then, he really didn't know what the Han people grew up with. At a glance, the soldiers on horseback were not clear. The Han people standing on the ground with their legs on the ground were generally giants like iron towers.

Julian stepped forward without getting a response from Gallus. He walked very leisurely, as if strolling in a garden, with a smile on his face.

The Han sergeant in alert state seemed to have been signaled in advance, and he did not act aggressively in the face of Julian who was approaching. When Julian walked close enough, he cracked the opening of the formation himself, and when Julian walked in. Did not close it again.

"The Seris is too tall." Gallus watched Julian walk up. In contrast, Julian's height was shorter than the nearest Han by almost half the body: "We need to figure out what the Serris is. What kind of eating habits!"

When Julian faced Wang Meng, he was actually fine. Even if he was close to Cai Mian, he wouldn't feel too short, but he walked in a queue of soldiers with men over two meters and once suspected that he had approached the kingdom of giants. , Or suddenly become a dwarf. This made him very upset, but he was helpless.

Nothing wrong, the heavy infantry in the Han army has rigid requirements. First, the height must be higher than 1.9 meters and strong enough. Then, the weight and endurance, physical strength, combat skills and so on are increased in training. . Due to such rigid requirements, a large number of people will be wiped out first~www.wuxiamtl.com~ In the subsequent training, a batch of unqualified people will be eliminated, leaving behind those with more physical advantages.

"Wow!" Julian stood beside a heavy infantry soldier. He pointed to the heavy infantry soldier and asked Wang Meng, "Do the Serris have the blood of giants?"

Wang Meng froze for a moment. Cai Mian and Dou'a, including the Han people nearby, were basically a little surprised, because Julian turned out to be speaking in very standard Chinese.

"We are Han, not Seris. Seris is silk in your language, and Han is Han." Wang Meng also approached Julian with a smile on his face, and said, "This envoy will never be taller anymore. Growth, we are almost the same height."

Ignoring the half-head height difference between himself and Wang Meng, Julian stretched out his right hand to shake hands with Wang Meng again, and said lightly: "Since the Persian army has left the city, we can now go to see Augustus. Are you all there?"

Wang Meng nodded and said, "Of course."

There are so many people whose brains are not enough. Constantinople is still in chaos, but the two people who can call the shots seem to have not been fighting at all, and the whole city seems to have been singing and dancing?
