The tail of the powerful arrow was still trembling slightly, and the Roman soldiers, who were taken aback, hurriedly readjusted the battle formation, changing the loose battle formation just now to the ancient Roman classic large shield phalanx. And the big shields on that side are put together, so that they really look like a heavy turtle shell.

I have to say that the defense of the classic Roman "turtle shell" battle formation is indeed not to be said, the conventional bow and crossbow, and even the musket that Lu Ren is currently lighting here are really a little helpless against this "turtle shell".

Of course, if it was really a battlefield confrontation, these "turtle shells" of the ancient Roman Empire would definitely die miserably in front of Lu Ren, you must know that Lu Ren himself has not participated in the study of "turtle shell" tactics, so he has a good understanding of the advantages and disadvantages of "turtle shells".

The biggest disadvantage of the "tortoise shell" is that the mobility is too poor, and it will be played to death by high-speed and mobile light cavalry in areas with more open terrain, which is one of the main reasons why Rome will be beaten out of temper when it encounters the Northern Huns.

And for Lu Ren, if he really encounters these "turtle shells", he will react: "Give Lao Tzu a bombardment!" Lao Tzu still doesn't believe that these broken shields can block Lao Tzu's cannonballs! Anyway, they run slowly, and the artillery hits accurately! ”

It's not Lu Ren bragging, now Lu Ren already has a light portable artillery here...... To be precise, it should be a grenadier or an ultra-light mortar, that is, the kind of goods that can often be seen in anti-Japanese dramas that are mounted on the ground and fired from the breech. And Lu Ren's ability to fix this thing is mainly due to the fact that after more than 20 years of development, the steel smelting level in the territory has reached a certain standard.

It's just that then again, since the level of materials is not yet fully up to standard, Lu Ren's individual artillery here is still much thicker than that of later generations. For example, the individual mortar used by the Japanese army during the Anti-Japanese War weighed less than three kilograms, but the mortar here weighed more than ten kilograms. No way, this is the result of the limited material to thicken and thicken the bore. However, if it is about ten kilograms, it is not very heavy for a single soldier, and it can be called portable.

In addition, this thing has not been officially installed here in Lu Ren, after all, Lu Ren is still limited by too many conditions of the times. For the time being, it was only among Lu Ren's 3,000 guards, and there were only three of them in each company. And if the battle really gets to the point where Lu Ren's guards are transferred, then the situation may not be good. So in a sense, these individual mortars are just a decoration or an experiment for the time being.

Let's put it again, although Chen Li is now fighting with the Roman soldiers, this is not a fight between the enemy and the enemy in the war after all, at best, it can only be regarded as a diplomatic conflict, so now for these Roman soldiers who are causing trouble, Lu Ren's goal is to teach a lesson and kill, and it is impossible to really use a big killing weapon to kill these Roman soldiers, right?

But to deal with these Roman soldiers who set up "turtle shells", it is not really a battlefield battle, and there is really no need to use any killing weapons. And Lu Ren here has a lot of research on the "turtle shell" tactic itself, so he has already made a good move for Chen Li. Therefore, at this time, Chen Li saw that the Roman soldiers really set up the "turtle shell", and he only smiled coldly on his face, and immediately issued an order to the security army.

When hundreds of security soldiers heard Chen Li's order, they immediately reached out and took off the leather bags around their waists, grabbed handfuls of things and threw them at the Roman soldiers. However, it may be a bit inappropriate to say "throw", but it should be "sprinkled", and the surroundings of the "turtle shell" are scattered everywhere. As for the things that are spilled...... It's tribulus!

Tribulus terrestris, a kind of military iron spike scattering type obstacle that has existed in ancient China, the main body is composed of four iron thorns sticking out, and these four iron thorns form a three-dimensional geometric triangle, after being sprinkled, it will definitely be a state of three landing on the ground and one facing upward. In ancient warfare, thistles were scattered on the ground to delay enemy movements.

Some tribulus terrestris have holes in the center that can be connected with ropes for easy laying and recycling. The Huaxia side has already opened the use of thistle terrestris during the Warring States Period. After the Qin and Han dynasties, thistle terrestris became a commonly used defensive equipment in the army, in addition to being laid around roads, defensive areas, and cities, and when the troops were stationed in camps, they were also laid around the camps. After the Song Dynasty, the types of thistle terrestris gradually increased, such as the "iron water chestnut" laid in the water, the "ground astringency" attached to the wooden board, the "hoof" used to stop horses, and the "ghost arrow" coated with poison on the thorns.

However, at this time, what Chen Li scattered out was not a military thistle, but a public security type, and the lethality was not so strong. Normally, it is mainly things thrown out by the security forces when they arrest prisoners. For example, when chasing a thief who is running away, if you see that it is almost done, you will scatter it, and this handful of thistle terrestris thrown out will definitely be much faster than the prisoner, as long as there is no accident, it will fall in front of the thief, which will naturally make the thief who still wants to run look at the thistle terrestris in front of him and dare not raise his legs...... Who can stand the soles of their feet stepping on nails?

But it is said that those Roman soldiers, no matter how arrogant, are only fleshy feet after all, and now seeing the dense spikes facing upwards in that place, who dares to raise their feet and advance? By the way, it is said that the ancient Romans had an inexplicable fear of foot injuries, because Roman deification is in the same vein as Greek deification, and in the Greek "Homeric Epic", the legendary most powerful warrior Achilles is invulnerable all over his body, except for his heel, which is his "cover door", and finally dies on his heel. And after this story was handed down, it also made the Greeks and Romans particularly afraid of foot injuries. (This paragraph is pure, don't take it seriously!) ）

The number of people on both sides was roughly equal, with more than 400 Roman soldiers and 500 security troops led by Chen Li. And Chen Li's 500 security troops each had a bag of 50 thistles, and the total was 25,000, which could almost surround those Roman soldiers. In short, when the Roman soldiers in the "tortoise shell" saw that the security guards were all smiling evilly and scattering thistles around their perimeter, they were really a little angry.

Besides, Chen Li originally intended to ruthlessly fix these Roman soldiers who didn't know what to do, and a lot of bad water had already been held back in his stomach. Seeing that the thistles had been arranged, Chen Li sneered and snapped his fingers, and the five hundred security troops immediately took out a large pile of rotten watermelons and banana peels, and scattered them very evenly on the already arranged thistle array.

The Roman soldiers were dumbfounded. Rotten watermelon and banana peel! What will happen if you step on it? If you usually arrive, it's nothing more than a fall, but now the problem is that there is an iron thistle on the ground! At this time, if you fall on all fours, God knows how many spikes will be pierced on your body when you get up.

But that's not all! It was said that Chen Li had a heart to ruthlessly rectify these Roman soldiers, where could there be only this in the yin tricks in his hands? So when Chen Li's fingers snapped again, several soldiers pushed a few small carts over, and the carts were loaded with some small jars.

Chen Li picked up a small jar casually, and after checking it in his hand, he smiled at the Roman soldiers: "Originally, I wanted to use oil, but someone told me that you Romans only seem to know olive oil, not necessarily our Han's vegetable oil, so you may not know how slippery our vegetable oil will be here." Think about it again, after all, the oil is too expensive to be cost-effective, so I still used lime under it to get this lime water. ”

Lime water, when it reaches a certain proportion, is extremely slippery. But seriously, there is another main reason why Chen Li abandoned oil and switched to lime water, that is, the Romans knew how slippery lime water was, after all, in ancient Greece and Rome, they had the tactic of throwing lime water onto the deck of the opponent's warship, so that the opponent's personnel could not stand normally.

But as soon as Chen Li finished speaking, the Roman soldiers in the "turtle shell" immediately secretly complained. Because with the current situation, if they keep their place and don't move, they can avoid the disaster movie of being stabbed by thistle. But once the lime water is thrown...... Their big shields can stop the rain of bullets and arrows, but where can they stop the water? If Chen Li threw the lime water and then flowed under their feet, they would only not know where to put their feet. And once someone slips and falls, it will trigger a domino effect, and bring down a piece of people, and their "turtle shell" will be a ball.

So at this moment, almost all the Roman soldiers were secretly cursing in their hearts such things as "the orientals are too cunning" or "the great men are so despicable", but no one dared to make a move. Then there are people who urgently ask their captain what to do next, but what can their captain do, although he is powerful, but his brain is not very smart?

Chen Li, who was at this head, also felt about the same at this time, after all, this time he just wanted to teach these Roman soldiers a lesson and let them suffer some coolies, not really want their lives. And if someone really dies, the faces of both sides will not look good.

In addition, I have to tell the truth, although these Roman soldiers made such a big noise, but in fact they didn't really move, you must know that the Roman infantry phalanx is also equipped with bows and arrows, although their bows and arrows are not as good as Lu Ren's strong bows and crossbows, but don't forget that the Romans are good at throwing javelins. If they had taken these out just now, Chen Li's side would have been killed or wounded. The reason why it was not used was obviously that they also deliberately controlled the matter within the scope of group fights, and it seems that they also knew that as long as they didn't cause death, there would be no big deal.

Of course, Chen Li's head has long been prepared to really kill, and Lu Ren has to have a way if he really wants to kill the "turtle shells" of these Roman soldiers, but he hasn't made a fuss yet.

In short, since both sides understand this truth, it is better to accept it when it is almost time, so at this time, Chen Li is playing with the lime water jar in his hand, and shouting to the Roman soldiers: "Put down your arms, and take them!" Otherwise, I'm going to throw all this lime water here!! ”

The Roman soldiers were very angry when they heard this, because they felt a little humiliated if they surrendered like this. But the next moment, they immediately changed their minds, for they found themselves surrounded by a large crowd of soldiers. Now it is not the security forces of Yangon City that surround them, but the regular army of Lu Ren stationed here in Yangon! is still the same sentence, since Lu Ren wants to give these Roman soldiers who don't know what to do, then what should be used is naturally to use it.

The security forces are just the equivalent of the armed police or special police in modern society, and if they really carry out any combat missions, they will always feel a little inappropriate. And the regular army is out of the way...... Hehe, I believe there is no need to explain.

Not to mention the more, at this moment, there are 3,000 regular troops surrounding the Roman soldiers, plus the security army led by Chen Li is 3,500, and the Roman soldiers are more than 400, which is almost ten times the difference in strength. Moreover, the regular soldiers were all bright and murderous, and the sense of oppression in the momentum alone made the Roman soldiers very uncomfortable.

The most important thing is that these Roman soldiers were only here to "fight in groups", not to fight hard, so after the previous arrogance was dissipated, they really had no intention of resisting.

At this time, Paleus also arrived at the scene in time, and ordered the Roman soldiers to lay down their arms and surrender as the head of the Roman legation. It is true that the captain of this group of Roman soldiers did not obey Paleus's orders very much, but at this time he also needed a suitable step down, so he obeyed Paleus's orders and led the Roman soldiers to lay down their arms and surrender to Chen Li.

Chen Li was determined to rectify these Roman soldiers this time, so he would not be polite, so after the Roman soldiers disarmed and surrendered, they were all thrown into prison. But seriously, it can only be that these Roman soldiers eat without oil and water for a few days in their cells, after all, this is diplomacy, and some things cannot be overdone. Otherwise, Chen Li really wanted to make each of these Roman soldiers eat twenty sticks.

In addition, Lu Ren also explained one thing to Chen Li, that is, don't really starve these Roman soldiers, don't make them have no strength, because Lu Ren also needs these Roman soldiers to maintain a good state, and give Lu Ren a good performance of what Lu Ren wants to see. And a group of hungry people, where can they play well?
