Chapter 1027 Jiangdong Army Attacks
"Roman Legion, don't retreat!"
The famous Roman general Varus raised his dagger high, and the highest-ranking Roman reserve army armed with spears and long shields, charged towards the defense line of the Beifu Army.
The light infantry and Roman recruits in the first few rows have already fought with the Beifu Army. The highly resilient 15th Apollo Legion was used by Varus as the front army to fight the Beifu Army's vanguard.
Liu Laozhi, the vanguard general of the Beifu army, broke into the Apollo army, and flew a Roman centurion with his spear!
The Roman centurion fell among the Roman soldiers and died, and the surrounding Roman soldiers couldn't help being terrified.
Liu Laozhi pushed more than a dozen Roman soldiers, and his boots stepped on a Roman heavy infantry, denting his armor!
A group of white-robed Beifu soldiers followed Liu Laozhi and repelled the Apollo Army.
"Legion of Doom, succeed the Legion of Apollo!"
Varus had to send in the 17th Legion of Doom.
The Roman Seventeenth Legion was plagued by misfortune, but Varus only had two Roman legions, so when the Apollo Legion suffered a lot of losses, the Seventeenth Legion of Doom could only be used to replace the Fifteenth Apollo Legion.
"Don't even think about leaving!"
Liu Laozhi did not let the Apollo Legion leave easily, but led a group of Beifu Army cavalry in hot pursuit, charging and killing among the Apollo Legion!
After attacking the Apollo Legion three times in a row, the Roman soldiers attacked Liu Laozhi with spears and short swords. Liu Laozhi's spears knocked these weapons away and harvested the Roman soldiers along the way!
Sun Wuzhong, the general of the Beifu army, came to join Liu Laozhi to strengthen the Beifu army's offensive!
The Beifu army formed a white wave and swept the Roman legion!
The Legion of Doom was overwhelmed by the Beifu army, Roman soldiers were killed one by one, and the Roman square shield was broken and could be seen everywhere.
"Protect the eagle flag!"
Even if the Roman legion is defeated, it must do its best to keep the legionary flag.
When the two Roman legions were in trouble, a group of Byzantine Empire heavy cavalry appeared, using lances as weapons, to assault the flanks of the vanguard of the Beifu Army!
"Keep a long spear formation!"
Holding the long sword, Sun Wuzhong shouted vigorously, thousands of Beifu soldiers quickly reacted, and a dozen rows of long spears pointed straight ahead like hedgehogs!
The Byzantine general Sifias took the lead, and 4,000 Byzantine heavy cavalry advanced, wave after wave hitting the spear phalanx of the Beifu army!
Siphias is also a brave general, holding a lance in both hands, and riding a heavily armored horse to launch an impact. A soldier of the Beifu Army was knocked several meters away by him, fell into the dense forest of guns, and knocked down a piece of it!
Jiang Zuo's famous general commanded Jiangdong soldiers and horses to attack Xuzhou on a large scale, and soon they will face a difficult problem they cannot avoid-dealing with the northern cavalry.
The Beifu army is one of the few Jiangzuo elites who are capable of fighting head-on!
Under the command of Sifias, the Byzantine heavy cavalry failed to defeat the dense spear formation of Sun Wuzhong, the general of the Beifu Army.
However, because of the threat posed by the heavy cavalry of the Byzantine Empire to the flanks, the Beifu army was unable to wipe out the two Roman legions? Let the Roman general Valus breathe a sigh of relief.
Xie Xuanyu, the general of the Beifu Army, Huan Wen, Zu Ti and other famous generals from the Eastern Jin Dynasty came to support, and Siphias rushed out of the Beifu Army covered in blood? Then retreated.
The Beifu Army has tens of thousands of people? Can the 4,000 Byzantine Empire heavy cavalry of Siphias pose a fatal threat to the Beifu Army? Unless there is an army in the front that can contain the Beifu Army,
And Siphias launched a surprise attack? It was possible to defeat the Beifu Army.
With the abilities of famous Eastern Jin generals such as Xie Xuan and Huan Wen, it is very difficult to spread scouts widely, and it is very difficult to achieve a surprise attack, and most of them have to fight head-on.
The Beifu army marched towards Juxian? The Southern Dynasty army besieged Xihai County? Lu Xun's Shanyue Army quickly penetrated the coastal hills and took Xiacheng directly.
There are many Shanyue tribes in Jiangdong. Like the Nanman tribes, these Shanyue tribes are good at fighting in mountains, especially in hilly terrain.
Therefore, the coastal and hilly terrain in the eastern part of Langya Kingdom is like walking on flat ground for the Shanyue Army? Even the army of Langya Kingdom will have a terrain disadvantage when fighting with the Shanyue Army.
The Jiangdong army chose to attack Langya country not just because Xiacheng was in Langya country? The hilly terrain of Langya country could help the Jiangdong army block the assault of the Northern Cavalry Corps.
The Jiangdong Army's tactics seem a little wretched? But for the Jiangdong Army? Compared with the decisive battle with the Xia Army's cavalry in the plains? The winning rate is much higher.
Lu Xun was young, but was entrusted with a heavy responsibility by Tongque, because Tongque needed to use Lu Xun's characteristics to "burn the camp".
Lu Xun's fire attack ability is no less than Zhou Yu's.
Shanyue leaders such as Zu Lang and Peng Hu, as well as generals such as Ling Cao, Dong Xi, and Pan Zhang, were all under Lu Xun's command.
In addition, Shanyue in Danyang County can be transferred to an elite Danyang soldier, which belongs to the high-level mountain infantry.
"It's crazy. We actually want to attack King Xia's main city. If we fail, all members of our tribe will be killed."
Zu Lang, the leader of Shanyue, was defeated by Tongque and had to serve Tongque. All his men came out in full force.
"The king of Wu promised that if he can conquer the Langya country, he can make us the king of Langya, the king of the East Sea, and the king of the North Sea. If we succeed, we will not be bandits in the future, but princes and generals!"
Another Shanyue leader, Peng Hu, went out with Zu Lang to serve the Wu army.
Wu Wang Tongque very generously promised that after the event is completed, a group of Shanyue leaders can be named princes. This is a temptation for the leaders of Shanyue.
Chutian is unlikely to make a group of Shanyue leaders kings.
Chutian's forces try to keep down the official position as much as possible, and they don't even make kings. Only Huo An, Chutian tacitly allows him to be the king of Liang.
This is in consideration of attacking other civilized empires in the future. If you become the king now, you will face the embarrassing situation of not being able to reward your subordinates in the future.
Therefore, even Dukes, Hous, and Boss of Chutian are rarely canonized, unless they have made great contributions.
Tongque and Liu Bei are different. What they consider is not what will happen if they attack other civilizations in the future, but how to overcome the current difficulties, so they became princes.
"Passing through the mountain road here, you can reach the east of Xiacheng. The alien scouts reported that Xiacheng has a population of 3 million. If you take one out of 20, you can also get 150,000 low-level troops. If you want to capture this city , is not easy... But at this time, we can only take a risk, and it is best for Xia Jun to take the initiative to go out of the city and fight in the mountains and forests."
When Lu Xun was just a fledgling, he was tasked with an extremely difficult task - capturing Xiacheng.
The Shanyue army marched in the mountains and forests, and the Danyang soldiers opened the way in front. Because they were mountain troops, the coastal hills in the east of Langya Kingdom were like walking on flat ground.
A few war eagles soared among the hills, passing over the Wu army's battle flag.
Lu Xun looked at Zhanying thoughtfully.
In the east of Xiacheng, the Women's Legion under the command of Hua Mulan, under the jurisdiction of Jianyan crossbowmen, iron eagle scouts, Xiliang iron cavalry, infantry Jiasong Chongbu, and a group of low-level troops, about 70,000 to 80,000 soldiers and horses.
The defense system of Langya Kingdom has Xiacheng, Juxian, and Xihai counties as its corners.
Hua Mulan's army defended the outskirts of Xia City to prevent the Wu army from passing through the coastal hills and surprise Xia City.
Tie Ying's scouts had noticed that Lu Xun's Shanyue Army was invading from the Junan Mountain Road, so they immediately reported to Hua Mulan: "There are about 100,000 people, divided into several groups, and marching towards Xiacheng on the various mountain roads in Junan!"
"Is it possible to meet it?"
Hua Mulan summoned Fan Lihua, Mu Guiying, and Liang Hongyu.
The four great women gathered together, and at this time the four joined forces to resist Lu Xun's Shanyue Army.
Mu Guiying said: "The Wu army has a large number, at least more than we imagined. We can try to fight with them in the mountain road. If the battle is not good, we can gather cavalry on the Shuhe Plain to the east of Xiacheng. Defeat it."
"Okay, Fan Lihua, your Xiliang iron cavalry can't play a role in the mountain road, so stay in the Shuhe Plain and set up camp. If we lose, the Xiliang iron cavalry will take their positions in the Shuhe Plain and attack the Wu army who came out of the hills."
Hua Mulan left behind Fan Lihua, one of the four great women, and personally went with Mu Guiying and Liang Hongyu to test Wu Jun who had entered the Junan Mountain Road.
Xia Liang and Xiao Chuo went to Ju County to resist the Southern Dynasties attacking Ju County.
In Xihai County, the guard Geng Gong led the five schools of the Northern Army and the Sanhe cavalry to defend the city.
After besieging Xihai County, a group of famous generals of the Beifu Army repelled the Roman Legion and the Byzantine Western Teaching Group to put pressure on Geng Gong.
Geng Gong has the defensive characteristic "Thirteen Generals Return to Yumen", which is an S-level characteristic. When defending the city, the defensive power of the defenders in the city +12%, the morale decline rate -13%, and the defender's defection probability -25%. The five schools of the Northern Army can hold on for a long time.
The Roman Legion and the Byzantine Western Teaching Group retreated to Xihai County, and Valus, Siphias and Geng Gong fought side by side.
For Geng Gong, who was born in the Protectorate of the Western Regions, it was not uncommon to fight side by side with generals of other races. Most of the troops in the Protectorate of the Western Regions were actually servants of various Western Region city-states.
"The Beifu army is really powerful, and it is worthy of being the largest army in Jiangzuo."
Geng Gong saw the soldiers of the Beifu approaching the city, their momentum was like a rainbow, and the chief general was Xie Xuan, the treasure tree of the Xie family, and he held his sword tightly.
The Beifu Army besieged Xihai County on three floors, and the Jiangdong Navy continued to transport supplies to the Beifu Army.
The Jiangdong Army did its best, knowing that it could not be done.
In Jiaozhou Bay in Donglai County, Qingzhou, where the Fubo Army is anchored, they have discovered the traces of the Jiangdong Navy, and the Jiangdong Navy is coming towards them.
"Raise soldiers for a thousand days, and use them for a while. This time, we must win the battle with the Jiangdong Navy!"
"Jiangdong navy is good at attacking with fire, so remember not to be affected by fire boats."
"Fighting at sea, or, fighting in Jiaozhou Bay?"
The generals of the Fubo Army fell into hesitation.
The initiative is in the hands of the Fubo Legion. They can choose to lead the Jiangdong Navy into Jiaozhou Bay, or they can take the initiative to attack.
Zheng Zhilong, who has a background as a pirate leader, advocates offense, so he suggested taking the initiative to attack.
Two or three thousand warships of the Fubo Army left Jiaozhou Bay one after another.
"The weather seems a bit unfavorable..."
After the Fubo army fleet left Jiaozhou Bay and sailed south for a certain distance, Zheng He couldn't help frowning when he saw that the sky was gloomy and the sea breeze was strong.
A storm at sea can destroy an entire fleet.
At the beginning, the fleet of the Mongols attacking Dongpu was destroyed by kamikaze, so the Mongols gave up their plan to conquer Dongpu.
