Chapter 926: Trajan, the Roman Emperor (Addendum 12/100)
At the end of the fourth month of the war, a great battle broke out between the Han army and the Roman army.
After defeating Darius I, destroying Basil II, King Moon Protector, and Queen Himiko, eliminating Li Chenggui, the king of Kangxian of Goryeo, and severely defeating the sixth heavenly demon king Oda Nobunaga, Chutian changed his target to Trajan, one of the "Five Wise Emperors" of Rome.
According to the rules that Chu Tian had known in the past, if he defeated Trajan, then he could obtain a recruitment order for Roman civilization.
Trajan was the emperor of the true Roman Empire, expanding Rome to the largest extent in history, and his legions were quite formidable.
In order to obtain the recruitment order of the Roman civilization and obtain war exploits, Chutian's army did not hesitate to start a war with Trajan.
A fierce battle broke out between the two sides on the plains, and Trajan personally commanded the Roman legions against the Han army of Chutian.
The two armies fought each other fiercely.
It is extremely difficult to defeat the great hegemons of the Roman Empire in history.
After inflicting heavy losses on Oda Nobunaga and subduing Himiko, Chutian and Catherine joined forces to attack Trajan, and fought back and forth with Trajan's Roman legions on a battlefield of dozens of kilometers in length and width.
Trajan not only had Roman legions, but also cavalry from places like North Africa.
"Trajan was not only an emperor, but also an excellent commander."
Chu Tian rode a war horse and stood on a high place to watch the tragic battlefield.
The legions of the Roman Emperor Trajan were almost the pinnacle of the Roman Empire, and Trajan himself was the commander.
Compared with the emperors in the east, who were more in the rear, the emperors in the west preferred to go out in person, so many emperors were famous generals themselves, and the military exploits of the generals under the emperor's command were occupied by the emperor.
However, even if the other party was Tulagan who had expanded Rome's territory to the maximum, Chu Tian had to find a way to wipe it out, otherwise he would not be able to obtain a recruitment order.
"Use the Hongyi cannon!"
Chu Tian did not hesitate to use Hongyi artillery to bombard the tightly packed Roman legions.
The solid bullet fell into the Roman legions, like an iron plough ploughing the field, clearing several passages in an instant, and dozens of Roman soldiers were blurred with flesh and blood!
The denser the phalanx, the more lethal the Hongyi cannon will cause!
Chu Tian moved the bed crossbow again and used it in field battles, continuing to attack the Roman legions in an attempt to disrupt the order of the Roman legions.
The Roman legions used a large number of ballistae and bows and arrows to give the Han army a counterattack.
The famous generals of Rome braved the rain of arrows to lead the Roman legions to fight the Han army for the life and death of their emperor.
The battle between the two sides lasted from early morning to noon, and the soldiers were almost exhausted and took turns to fight.
Xue Rengui entered the Roman army seven times in a row, rode into the dust, brandished the Fang Tian painting halberd, and with his own force, led three hundred white-robed cavalry to almost defeat a complete Roman legion.
A complete Roman legion, with 5,000-6,000 soldiers, can continuously attack the Roman legion by force, and put a complete Roman legion on the verge of collapse, which can be described as a real fierce general!
Even the Romans were full of fear of Xue Rengui in silver armor and white robes!
After seven in and seven out of the Roman army, Xue Rengui's physical strength was also exhausted.
Hua Mulan tried to lead the assault on the Roman legion three times, but she was no more expensive than Xue Ren, and she was unable to hold out and was slightly injured. Chutian didn't let Mulan continue to charge.
Xiao Xuan also once attacked the Roman legions.
The generals of the Han army took turns to storm the Roman army, and the Roman legions were gradually on the verge of collapse.
Jia Xu's ability was to cut down the Roman legions' defenses.
Wu Qi served as the backbone and carried Trajan's army head-on.
Catherine's light cavalry infested the Roman legions from the flanks and occasionally made gestures to storm the Roman formations, forcing Trajan to guard against the threat of the Russian cavalry.
Not only that, but the Tsarist Guard was also preparing to go into battle.
The various generals cooperated with each other, which led to the initial defeat of the Roman legions.
Joan of Arc waved the holy flag, and the holy flag fluttered, inspiring the morale of the Han army, and the Han army entered a frenzy!
"Himiko, it's time to use your powers."
Chutian recruited Himiko, the queen of the Yamatai Kingdom, who has a special ability to "bewitch people's hearts".
Himiko draws his sword and points forward, reciting words in his mouth, which can be even more effective when the opponent's morale drops.
Among the Roman army, which was on the verge of collapse, about 900 Roman soldiers could not control themselves, and turned against them, holding short swords in their hands, and attacking their companions.
Nine hundred Roman soldiers were not a small number, but they caused a lot of panic among the Roman army and became the last straw that broke the camel's back.
"Trajan is a very strong commander and has the ability to manage the army, even if the morale is low, but ...... That's all I can do. ”
Himiko used her SS-class characteristics to trick nine hundred Roman soldiers into rebellion, which was already her limit.
"This shows that Tulajan's command ability is already very high, and he is doing a good job."
The defection of 900 Roman soldiers was almost insignificant for tens of thousands of Roman troops, but when the Roman army was crumbling, it was absolutely a disaster for the Roman army to suddenly have 900 people in the same room.
It can be said that Himiko, the hidden military general of the Dongying civilization, can also be regarded as a supporting hero, giving Chu Tian an additional means to restrain the enemy.
This ability of Himiko can only be used once at most once against a legion, that is, it cannot be used against the same enemy repeatedly, otherwise it will be too invincible.
As the Han army gained the upper hand, Geng Yi led the Youzhou Cavalry and Yang Dayan led the Iron Cavalry to charge the Roman army again, and the Tsar Guards lined up in a musket queue to shoot at the flank of the Roman army, and the smoke of gunpowder filled the air.
The Roman legions went from a small rout to a large-scale defeat.
The defeat was like a mountain.
The Roman Emperor Trajan had to lead the remnants of his legions back to his city.
The Han army pursued and laid siege to Trajan's city.
Chutian counted the losses, and in the battle with Trajan, he and Catherine lost a total of 80,000 soldiers and horses.
This was a somewhat unexpected loss for Chu Tiandu.
Trajan was indeed one of the most courageous Roman emperors.
However, he joined forces with Catherine no worse than Caesar and Constantine.
The recruitment order in the hands of the Roman Emperor Trajan is about to arrive.
Chu Tian distributed scouts to prevent Trajan's recruitment order from being snatched away by other lords.
……
The city where the Roman Emperor Constantine was located, several lords who came from the Overworld gathered, and basically all of them were lords of the Western Continent, except for Oda Nobunaga in Toei.
These people all had a holiday with Chu Tian.
As the war drew closer to the sixth month, most of the legendary kings were defeated, and the various lords began to fight against each other.
And this time, the lords of the Western Continent had more or less had a holiday with Chu Tian and felt that it was necessary to teach Chu Tian a lesson in the last month.
Chu Tian had always looked at most of the Western Lords unpleasantly.
If it weren't for the fact that the royal family of the Tsarist Russian Empire had half of its own bloodline, Chu Tian would have beaten even the Tsarist Empire.
"Chu Zimou snatched a Gu Dongying Civilization Recruitment Order that should have belonged to me. If you are willing to join forces with me in the last month, then we will destroy Chu Zimou together. ”
Charles, Lord of England, was furious.
He was probably the most angry of all these lords.
Chu Tian snatched away the reward that he saw was about to arrive, and for Charlie, the game experience was extremely poor.
So he took the initiative to find Caesar and Constantine, wanting to form the Western Kingdom Army at the last moment of the national war, teach Chu Tian a lesson, and suppress his arrogance.
The current Chu Tian is on the same level as the Great Demon King in the eyes of the Western Lords, and he has almost offended all the Western Lords.
Intimidating Queen Isabella of the Kingdom of Spain, attacking the protectors of the Roman Emperor, and robbing King Charles of England of his rewards......
This does not include all the evil deeds done by Chu Tian in the past—the abduction of Joan of Arc in France, the recruitment of the Knights of the Round Table in England, and the dusting of the eagle banner of the Roman legions.
In short, Chu Tian was full of evil deeds to the lords of the Western Continent.
If you look at it from the standpoint of the kings of the West, Chu Tian is the biggest villain.
"Chu Zimou of the Han Empire doesn't take anyone as a thing recently, he does his own thing, and it's indeed time to suppress him. He is surrounded by our city. To the northwest of him is the Umayyads of the Arab Empire, and the Umayyads of the Arab Empire also have a feud with Chu Zimou, who is said to have attacked Chu Zimou in the desert. ”
"Our relationship with the Arabs is not very good, as long as the Arabs do not help Chu Zimou, then he will not be able to withstand our attacks at all."
"Chu Zimou, how dare he provoke so many people? Did he think he had God's protection? ”
"No matter what, in the sixth month, our three lords joined forces to attack Chu Zimou."
Caesar, Constantine, and Charles were finalized.
"Queen Isabella of Spain, will she join our army of the West?"
"She still seems to have chosen to remain neutral."
"Staying neutral all the time will only make Chu Zimou more and more arrogant, and when Chu Zimou's power becomes stronger and stronger, who can balance it? We, the Shogunate, are willing to join forces with you. ”
Oda Nobunaga came in with Takenaka Hanbei and Tokugawa Ieyasu, who were also considered one of Chutian's enemies.
"How can you not take me with you for such an interesting thing?"
A high lord appears here.
Whether it was Caesar, Constantine, Charles, or Oda Nobunaga, they all looked at the person who came, and it turned out to be Alexander of the Macedonian Kingdom!
Alexander and Chutian also had a holiday, but there was no mortal enmity.
It's just that Alexander regards Chutian as the most dangerous opponent, and in the face of the most dangerous opponent, the most rational thing to do is to find ways to suppress his development, or...... Destroy his self-confidence, instead of giving away the heads one by one.
Once a lord loses self-confidence, he may be constrained when it comes to making decisions.
In this national war, none of the lords will really die, so these lords can act unscrupulously.
Alexander the Great was enough to make Caesar, Constantine, Charles, Oda Nobunaga fearful.
It is said that the Roman Emperor Trajan once aspired to be a conqueror like Alexander. Later, he went to the ruins of the city of Babylon, which Alexander had conquered, and lamented that the result of his conquest was nothing more than a pile of rubbish, stones, and ruins.
Alexander joins the Provisional Western Kingdom Army.
Alexander glanced at the people in front of him and corrected their plan: "You are all wrong, if you want to drive Chu Zimou down from the first position, it will be too late in the sixth month, and you will not send troops to attack it next month." As for Chu Zimou's resignation, we will compete for the first position fairly. ”
And to the north, the territories of Tuolei and Ögedei finally bordered.
