Chapter 291, an accident appeared

Suddenly there was an itch in my head, and then I desperately wanted to sleep, could it be that the sanddemon in my heart had awakened? It's been going up very quickly in the past few days, and the poor road is in an unstable mood, hahahaha-

Of course, this kind of lethal trick also caused the young and strong population of ancient Rome to continue to lose blood in the war, and then continue to weaken, and after a few internal battles, it completely declined.

And the Carthaginian soldiers immediately launched a counterattack, the great shield desperately pushed forward, the right short sword ready to fire, and after the ancient Roman soldiers were pushed and fell, what awaited them was the fall of the great shield and the pain of the short sword piercing into the chest.

In any case, as the two armies collided together, a fierce battle ensued.

Short swords, shields, javelins, fists, heads, any weapon that can be used, beckon at the enemy as fast as you can!

Of course, in terms of equipment, these ancient Roman light infantry who rushed to the front suffered more.

They had no chain mail on them, not even a piece of leather armor.

The lack of armor made them take advantage of the first wave of impact, and in the subsequent melee, they suffered a big loss.

If the short sword in their hand attacks the position protected by the chain mail, then it is equivalent to invalidation, and the next thing is the enemy's sharp counterattack, killing them!

But after fighting for a while, these light infantry felt that they had disturbed the formation of those Carthaginian soldiers, so they quickly retreated, leaving space for the young soldiers and adult soldiers behind.

These young soldiers, adult soldiers, also shot javelins flying out, but when they collided later, they held a large shield. The power of the charge greatly exceeded that of the light infantry.

Under the repeated onslaught of these ancient Roman soldiers, the Carthaginian formation was difficult to maintain, and after a large number of soldiers were killed, the middle part of the formation began to retreat. conAd1();

Wei Xiaobei hadn't taken his turn to go into battle at this time, and slowly moved forward with the phalanx. Therefore, he was able to watch this scene more leisurely.

Although the soldiers around them did not make a sound, the screams and the smell of blood from the battle ahead made them all gradually excited.

Wei Xiaobei has already decided that if these ancient Roman soldiers chase them in, then he will immediately slip away.

He didn't want to be caught up in by these ancient Roman soldiers, surrounded by tens of thousands of people. No matter how powerful the personal force is, as long as it does not reach the level of qualitative change, I am afraid that in the end, it can only end up being exhausted by individual strength and being killed by small soldiers like waste.

Let's put it this way, Wei Xiaobei is certainly strong now. The recovery ability has also reached the level of regeneration of broken limbs, and it is difficult for a strong man holding a kitchen knife to cut into Wei Xiaobei's muscles, but if he is surrounded by enemies and constantly consumed, when the recovery ability drops to a certain extent, various injuries are added together, which is enough to kill Wei Xiaobei.

Just as those Carthaginian soldiers kept retreating, luring the phalanx of light infantry into the encirclement one by one. When the youth, adults, and reservists in the back all followed. The cavalry on the ancient Roman side mounted their horses one after another under the command of the horn, driving their horses along the perimeter of the battlefield towards the Carthaginian army.

There is no doubt that the appearance of a cavalry force of more than 6,000 on the battlefield has a great effect on morale. Of course, among these cavalry, there are very few real ancient Roman cavalry. Most of them acted as commanders, and most of the cavalry was conscripted from the colonies by the Roman Empire.

By this time Hannibal had retreated to the rear of the army. The same is done by the sound of the trumpet, to mobilize the army.

Soon more than 2,000 Carthaginian cavalry on the left flank attacked, and their task was to try to seduce and entangle the ancient Roman cavalry. Prevent cavalry onslaught on the flanks of the Carthaginian army.

At the same time, the phalanx of war elephants on the right flank also attacked.

In fact, even Wei Xiaobei could see that with the attack of the 6,000 Roman cavalry, the situation became a little bad for the Carthaginian side. conAd2();

Scipio the Great was indeed one of the most outstanding commanders of ancient Rome, and he could see through what Hannibal wanted to do at a glance.

Of course, it was impossible for Scipio the Great to put these 6,000 cavalry behind, and once Carthage was in decline, then a cavalry assault was an inevitable occurrence.

To be honest, Wei Xiaobei's phalanx was not in a good position, on the left flank, and it happened to be on the front of those war elephants.

Seeing the momentum of the war elephant pushing over, these ancient Roman soldiers around Wei Xiaobei turned a little pale even if they had experienced a hundred battles.

In the face of the onslaught formation of war elephants, even the toughest ancient Roman soldiers could not resist it!

At this moment, the ancient Roman trumpet sounded, and the phalanx of slingers from Parma quickly pushed forward, some of them holding trumpets and other instruments in their hands, standing behind and blowing vigorously.

I have to say that the technique of these trebuchets blowing trumpets is too rough, they are able to blow the horn, but the sound that comes out is completely * naked noise.

Obviously, the noise created by the hundreds of horns was very uncomfortable with the war elephants that were rushing towards them, and they even slowed down their speed.

At this time, the slingers of the brigade swarmed up, put fist-sized stones on the slings, and after a few desperate turns of shaking them overhead, they hurled them at the war elephants.

Thousands of stones rained down on the war elephants.

Although the elephants were covered in armor, the continuous impact of the stones still hurt them.

They retreated, and even some of the cowardly war elephants turned their heads and ran wildly in the way they came, trampling many of their own Carthaginian soldiers to death.

"Woooooooooooo

The continuous sound of horns sounded, and the ancient Roman soldiers who formed the phalanx began to move forward quickly, Wei Xiaobei was not slow to react, and immediately followed. conAd3();

At this time, the 6,000 ancient Roman cavalry had collided with more than 2,000 Carthaginian cavalry, and in the blink of an eye, hundreds of cavalry were stabbed off their horses by spears.

The more than 2,000 Carthaginian cavalry could not withstand the onslaught of cavalry more than twice as many as themselves, and were soon outflanked and divided, and in just a few minutes, there were faint signs of collapse.

In the middle, as the Carthaginian heavy infantry retreated to the bottom of the formation, they began to stabilize their formation and counterattack the ancient Roman soldiers who pursued them, while the Carthaginian infantry on both flanks began to constantly surround the center.

On the other side, the ancient Roman phalanx mixed with Wei Xiaobei had already launched an attack on the Carthaginian soldiers who had been somewhat confused by the war elephants.

In fact, before this, the horn of the Carthaginian side had been sounded, and the order should have been given to slowly retreat and withdraw from the battlefield.

After all, by this time, the Carthaginian side had lost the initiative, and if it retreated slowly, with Hannibal's command ability, it might not be possible to turn defeat into victory.

You must know that in many battles, Hannibal fought more with less, deliberately retreated to attract the ancient Roman soldiers to chase after him, and finally dealt a backhand blow to completely defeat the chaotic enemy.

But the Carthaginian army was so excited that it activated the crescent formation so early that it would be difficult to retreat at this point.

Wei Xiaobei mixed in the phalanx, followed the other ancient Roman soldiers to attack, and the javelin in his hand killed three Carthaginian soldiers in a row.

Compared to other ancient Roman soldiers, stabbing javelins in the queue and hitting the enemy's vital points was too simple for Wei Xiaobei.

Although each of these Carthaginian soldiers only has 30 evolution points, according to this situation, it will not be a problem for Wei Xiaobei to brush up on a few thousand evolution points at the end of the battle.

Now that the war elephants had been beaten back by the slingers, the Carthaginian soldiers had lost most of their courage and looked completely disorganized, completely missing the tight formation that had been before.

Seeing that the Carthaginian side was about to collapse completely, Wei Xiaobei faintly felt that there would be some changes, but this change did not seem to pose much of a threat to him.

Just after Wei Xiaobei killed the tenth Carthaginian soldier, the eyes of the ancient Roman soldiers around him looking at Wei Xiaobei changed from their previous contempt to admiration.

Indeed, in the ancient cold-weapon army, even if you have some problems with discipline and seem to be loose and procrastinating, as long as you show enough bravery on the battlefield, then your comrades will admire you.

The simple reason is that a good enough comrade will make them safer in war.

It's like an ordinary soldier who is willing to follow the invincible god of war.

If the general of a cold-armed army is extremely stupid, then his soldiers are afraid that they will quickly collapse and flee in a tough battle.

No one would be willing to give their life for a stupid general.

But at this moment, in the military formation behind Carthage, a golden pillar of light fell, and then quickly spread.

This spreading golden pillar of light seemed to possess magical power.

All the Carthaginian soldiers who were illuminated by the golden light were immediately shaken by their spirits, their morale was high, and they became extremely fierce!

The golden light soon spread around Wei Xiaobei.

Wei Xiaobei felt that this golden light contained a magical power, and even Wei Xiaobei had an illusion.

Under the golden light, it was as if he was being watched by an incomparably powerful being! Immediately, the hairs on his back stood on end.

And the strength of those Carthaginian soldiers who fought with Wei Xiaobei was suddenly raised by a section under the illumination of this golden light!

With Wei Xiaobei's attainments in national arts and even his familiarity with these enemies, he can clearly judge that after being illuminated by the golden light, the strength of these Carthaginian soldiers has directly increased from the one-star elite to the top of the one-star elite, infinitely close to the level of 2 stars!

This change is extremely great for these ordinary soldiers, so to speak, their strength has more than doubled in this way.

On the other hand, those ancient Roman soldiers, as the strength of the Carthaginian soldiers suddenly increased, they soon became a little unable to support them.

The speed of the fall from heaven to hell was enough for these ancient Roman soldiers to know what the accident was all about. (To be continued)
