The Roman phalanx consisted of about 200 men in one regiment, divided into three ranks.

Moreover, not only are the people in each of these three cohorts different, but their weapons and experience are also different.

Junior soldiers, lacking training, formed light infantry. Equip a normal javelin and a throwing dart.

Young soldiers, with a certain amount of combat experience, formed the first column of the corps. Equip two heavy javelins, a broadbladed dagger and a round shield.

The middle-aged soldiers, aged about thirty, were the core of the army and formed the second column of the legion. Equip two heavy javelins, a broadbladed dagger and a round shield.

Adult soldiers, the oldest and most experienced. It usually constitutes the reserve of the army. The third column that formed the legion, was equipped with the same equipment as the prime-age soldiers, but was armed with a spear.

You can't underestimate the configuration of the Roman legion phalanx, and their weapons and equipment are also exquisite.

Gladius: A close-range weapon. It is about two feet long and two inches wide. The sword head is sharp, suitable for assassination and slashing. The hilt of the sword is made of wood, bone, ivory or metal.

Square shield, rectangular convex body, about four feet high and two feet wide. Wooden, covered with animal skins and reinforced with narrow strips of metal.

Heavy javelins, long-range weapons. The maximum projection distance is about sixty feet. The front end is a 4.5-foot metal pole with an iron spear tip attached.

At the rear end is a four-and-a-half-foot wooden pole with a rope wrapped around it, which is pulled at the moment of projection, causing the javelin to spin forward and pierce shields or armor.

The front and back ends are usually fastened with two pins. The most important feature of the javelin is that it is sharp and thin, so that after killing and injuring the enemy, the head of the gun will be bent and deformed, preventing the enemy from picking it up and throwing it back.

It has to be said that it is not very unusual for this Roman phalanx to be able to make the Roman Empire dominate.

If such a phalanx did not have elite soldiers and strong generals, relying on them to fight like this, some other city-states and countries would definitely not be able to compare with the Roman Empire.

Even if Zhao Yun and Ma Chao led the men and horses against the current Roman phalanx, they were not invincible at the beginning.

The javelins and spears they threw were very powerful, and they were not ordinary bows and arrows.

This is similar to heavy bows and arrows, and the Song Dynasty had this kind of machine tool that was fired from a firing bed and arrows with a spear.

Now those Roman soldiers rely on manpower, but this is already very powerful.

Ordinary armor simply could not stop the penetration of their javelins and spears.

Zhao Yun and Ma Chao can only avoid it, otherwise, even if people can get rid of it, the horse under this crotch will not be able to stand it.

Gradually, the soldiers of the Roman Empire have begun to become more and more stable, and they have gradually gained a firm foothold after the original defeat.

They began to advance in a military formation.

However, Zhao Yun and Ma Chao dared to go out, so Liu Wei naturally gave them a way to deal with it.

In the Roman phalanx, the most difficult thing to deal with was naturally the projection of spears and heavy javelins.

Therefore, if you want to get close to and break the Roman phalanx, you must deal with the spear and heavy javelin.

Their lethality is great, not to mention that the armor can't stop it, even the shield is a little difficult to resist.

But they can't just say that they should just throw away the weapon in their hand.

You know, their spears are real, not like the Roman phalanx, they are special-made.

So that's why if they throw too, it's like giving each other a weapon.

And the opponent's javelin spear is thrown over, so basically it can't be used anymore.

At that time, even if the other party does not use the military formation to rush over directly, then he will not be able to withstand it.

The reason is very simple, the weapons have already been given to others, so of course it is difficult to defeat.

Do you still need to fight them with a spear that has no combat effectiveness, obviously this is also a very disadvantaged thing.

Then at this time they have a shield, if you use a bow and arrow, the effect is not very great, and it is easy to waste.

So what comes in handy is the grenade, and the grenade is thrown directly, and their shield will definitely be useless at that time.

So this time it was just for the cavalry to throw, they were fast, they were mobile, and they had crotch dismounts.

Therefore, their height is definitely not comparable to ordinary infantry, so the distance can naturally be farther.

Romulus Augustus, seeing this, stopped Zhao Yun and Ma Chao's team sent out by Liu Wei.

Romulus Augustus became ecstatic in his heart.

"Haha, this ridiculous group of Orientals, I don't know what weapons they used to take advantage, and now they dare to kill them, I want to see how they deal with our Roman phalanx."

Romulus Augustus laughed loudly and spoke, his pride could be felt by everyone.

Not only him, but also other Roman Empire soldiers and ministers, they also had this idea.

Their escape and hatred just now, when they were like this, seemed to be vented.

But the next moment it was as if they were back in a nightmare, because the grenades had already begun to be thrown.

Can a shield block a grenade?

Obviously, it's impossible to block, it can't be a grenade with a shield.

After all, this is a real war, even if Liu Wei developed a primitive grenade, but the power is still there.

This is not an anti-Japanese drama, relying on the quilt can withstand the other party's bullets and artillery fire.

Therefore, the shield had no effect at all, and an explosion affected the surrounding people.

Although it is impossible for Liu Wei's grenade to kill 200 people in the Roman phalanx with one grenade, the spread of damage and panic under one grenade can make a Roman phalanx chaotic.

Romulus Augustus He immediately felt defeated, how could the Han army still have this kind of weapon.

Only then did he remember that some of General Neroslav's subordinates had fled before.

But at the time, he just thought it was funny, and he was already very angry, so he didn't care, he felt that this must be an excuse for the other party.

This is fabricated out of thin air, but now he realizes that he is wrong, and he is very wrong, this is not fabricated at all?

Even Romulus Augustus found it even more intimidating than the soldier had described.

In this way, the original Roman phalanx began to rout again.

Seeing that they began to rout, Liu Wei of Aki City was also relieved, in fact, he was really afraid of accidents.

After all, the soldiers of the Roman Empire are still very powerful.

If the grenades were not able to deal a blow to the Roman phalanx, their javelins and spears would continue to be in vogue.

Such a wave of attacks will definitely cause a lot of casualties.

In just a few moments, some of their soldiers had been hit by the spears and javelins.

"Retreat, we retreat."

This time, Romulus Augustus didn't continue to act rashly, he knew that the Roman phalanx was no longer able to stop Zhao Yun and Ma Chao.

These powerful weapons of these Orientals were as if they were specially prepared for the warriors of their Roman Empire.

At least that's what Romulus Augustus thought, and he felt that all this was just enough to suppress the warriors of their Roman Empire.

The army was defeated, which was a great disgrace for this Romulus Augustus.

It was a shame he didn't want to bring up, but it was a shame he had to face.

If he could not defeat them and drive them out of the Roman Empire, then their Roman Empire would be occupied by the Oriental people.

"Führer, this group of Orientals is prepared, their weapons are too powerful, if it were just us, I am afraid it would be difficult to deal with."

"What does the elder mean that we should deal with them, our Roman Empire cannot fail, let alone watch this group of Orientals win."

"Führer, I know that in Egypt they have a weapon against the Han Chinese."

"You mean to ask me to go and ask the Egyptian queen for help?"

"Not bad." The elder nodded.

"Okay, that's up to you." Romulus Augustus agreed to the same thing.

As long as you can win, it doesn't matter what.
