Chapter 292, Calling Mars (Asking for a Monthly Pass)
There is a paragraph in the previous paragraph, when I thought it was right, but it turned out to be written wrong, and the correct one should be: the previous Parma slingers were local troops recruited by the ancient Roman side. Hehe, thank you for the reminder of Lei Yuhan, a book friend.
The most fatal thing was the war elephants that had been driven away, but at this time they also regained their composure, turned around and continued to rush towards this side.
As for the battlefield of more than 2,000 Carthaginian cavalry and 6,000 ancient Roman cavalry, the Carthaginian cavalry quickly reversed its decline, although it could not narrow the gap in numbers, but at least it would not be defeated by these ancient Roman cavalry in a short period of time, thus dragging the enemy to the edge of the battlefield.
Well, those semi-surrounded Roman soldiers at this time completely became fat on the chopping board, constantly squeezed by the Carthaginian soldiers who rushed over.
They didn't even have room to dodge the spears, and they were in a state of constant slaughter.
Seeing the change in the tide of battle in the blink of an eye, Scipio the Great was furious, he raised his mace in his right hand and shouted, "Mars! ”
"Mars! Mars! ”
Suddenly, the ancient Roman soldiers surrounding the white chariot began to tap the large shield in their left hand with their short swords, and shouted in their mouths.
Mars?
Wei Xiaobei's mind immediately came up with the origin of this name.
The ancient Romans believed that their ancestors were twins who were raised by wild wolves, the elder brother was called Romulus, and the younger brother was called Lemos, well, this is the origin of the wolf-fed child statue in the city of Rome.
It's a long story, so I don't need to describe it too much.
The father of these twin sons is Mars, who had a very high status in the ancient Roman Empire and was revered as the god of war in ancient Rome, responsible for guarding the wealth and territory of ancient Rome.
Were these ancient Romans boosting morale?
This cry spread like a plague, and both the phalanx that had not yet joined the battle and the ancient Roman soldiers who had already been killed and wounded and were fighting to the death of the enemy joined in this frenzied shout.
Well?
Wrong! A more powerful aura is coming!
Wei Xiaobei's gaze couldn't help but turn to the white carriage of Scipio.
High in the air behind Scipio the Great, a classic image of an ancient Roman soldier is slowly taking shape. Holding a shield in his left hand and a sword in his right, he wears a fiery red cloak behind him, and his eyes are closed. There doesn't seem to be any life.
With the creation of this image of the ancient Roman soldiers, the ancient Roman soldiers who were fighting suddenly had high morale and became more and more courageous, and they even stubbornly stabilized the collapse and killed the Carthaginian soldiers who rushed back one after another.
The strength of the ancient Roman soldiers also increased. The magnitude of the increase was even higher than that of Carthage.
The soldiers around Wei Xiaobei have even been upgraded to a 2-star ordinary level!
Wei Xiaobei did not enjoy the benefits of this promotion, but he could feel a special change.
The benefits of killing enemies by these ancient Roman soldiers have been increased!
Just in front of Wei Xiaobei, the soldier who had just pulled the short sword out of the enemy's chest had rapidly increased the aura on his body.
In addition to an incidental halo effect that increases its strength, its own real strength has also increased a lot, directly breaking through to a 2-star ordinary, and after that, the aura effect has increased its strength to a 2-star elite.
This lucky man was not so lucky, and in an instant he was trampled into a meatloaf by a galloping war elephant!
Of course, there were five ancient Roman soldiers with the same fate as him.
Wei Xiaobei flashed to the side. Dodged the war elephant's charge, and then a stat probe was thrown on the war elephant.
Then the attribute table of the war elephant appeared in Wei Xiaobei's mind.
Samsung ordinary!
The strength has actually increased to this level?
Wei Xiaobei couldn't help frowning, and the javelin in his hand shot towards the war elephant behind him.
Call!
The javelin turned into a shadow, and in the blink of an eye, it went straight through the chrysanthemum of the war elephant, only to hear the war elephant let out a terrible roar, and the speed suddenly increased, like a derailed train, crashing into the phalanx of ancient Roman soldiers, trampling and leaving a piece of flesh and blood before passing through the phalanx.
Wei Xiaobei didn't hesitate at all, and followed with a brisk step.
As the war elephants rushed along. The number of Roman soldiers who died at the feet of the elephant suddenly increased, and it was not long before they left the battlefield.
Wei Xiaobei no longer had the idea of staying on the battlefield at this time.
After the entire battlefield mobilized the mysterious power of both sides, it fell directly towards chaos.
Whether it's on the side of ancient Rome or Carthage. Its phalanx, queues, and so on all collapsed.
Any soldier is in a frenzy of battle, killing each other in a frenzy, and any enemy that appears in their eyes will be constantly attacked by them, even if the opponent is far superior to their own.
Even the cavalrymen at this time forgot their duty to charge, and rode on their horses with spears. The big shield desperately smashed at the enemy, stabbing at it.
The two sides are mixed in the killing, and as long as they are on the battlefield, anywhere, they can be besieged by the enemy.
The strength of some officers is also rising towards the three-star ordinary.
In this battlefield where strength is generally increasing, danger can arise at any time.
An ancient Roman officer, judging by the towering feathers on his helmet, was supposed to be a captain of four hundred, holding a large shield, and rushed towards the war elephants, trying to stop the war elephants that were wantonly killing in the phalanx.
But before he could reach the position, another war elephant collided from the side, and the big shield was hurriedly erected, but the next moment, the captain of the four hundred people was knocked out by the man with the shield, like a baseball that was knocked away in an instant.
The shield shattered, and the Roman officer fell to the ground with a mouthful of blood spurting out, but it didn't take long for him to jump from the ground, grab a Macedonian spear, and rush towards the war elephant that had knocked him away.
All the Carthaginian soldiers who stood in front of the ancient Roman officers were stabbed to death with a single shot.
This ancient Roman officer is at least a three-star ordinary strength, otherwise, it would never be possible to recover so quickly under the impact of a war elephant, and if he is replaced with a strength below the two-star terror, he will probably be seriously injured and die in just a moment.
Wei Xiaobei stabbed to death a Carthaginian soldier who was catching up with him with a javelin, and continued to chase the war elephant.
Whew, those slingers were also a little crazy at this time, while nimbly dodging the pursuit of the Carthaginian soldiers, while dancing the slings in their hands quickly, and fist-sized stones flew over the battlefield.
By this time, the soldiers who were fighting in front of the slingers, whether they were ancient Rome or Carthage, could only depend on the situation of luck.
The war elephant on the right also launched an attack at this time, and rushed towards the place where the ancient Roman cavalry and the Carthaginian cavalry were fighting.
Everywhere they passed, flesh and blood were splashed, and no matter which side the cavalry was, as long as they were hit by the war elephants, they all flew out one by one.
At this time, the battle is completely free of concern for their comrades, and the only way to do the most damage to the enemy is possible!
During this period, some of your own people were killed and injured, and it was nothing.
As Carthaginian war elephants continue to join the battlefield, the scales of the goddess of victory have quickly tipped in Carthage's side.
"Speed! Velocity! Launch! Launch! ”
Wei Xiaobei was already about to catch up with the war elephant, which was the rear of the ancient Roman army.
In the open space where there was nothing before, more than 30 catapults about 10 meters high have been erected at this time, and some slaves under the supervision of ancient Roman soldiers are working hard to put huge stone bullets into the spoons at the end.
With the officer's order, a whistle sounded through the air, and the stone projectile, which was more than the size of a dustpan, was ejected.
In the blink of an eye, a war elephant that was frantically trampling the cavalry was hit, and its huge body was stunned, and then it could no longer stand and fell.
What a weapon of war!
Wei Xiaobei couldn't help but feel a burst of envy, jealousy and hatred, and in an instant, he was able to shoot the stone projectile thousands of meters away! It's definitely impossible to achieve in reality, but here, you can take out a war elephant that has reached the three-star creature level in one go!
Seeing this, Wei Xiaobei couldn't help but think of the mutant farmers' market.
There is no doubt that for such a formidable catapult, an immobile monster like a mutated farmer's market is undoubtedly the best target.
If there were ten catapults like this, I'm afraid the mutant farmer's market would have to kneel and beg for mercy.
The war elephant with the chrysanthemum exploded was already in unbearable pain at this time, and for such a monster, since it could not solve the pain from the chrysanthemum, it could only transfer the pain to the enemy.
And the catapult that appeared in front of him undoubtedly became the target of the war elephants.
"Aang!"
With a low roar, the elephant slammed into a catapult with four legs like giant pillars.
In fact, the war elephant crashed into the catapult, and the Carthaginian soldiers on its back were helpless, they had lost control of the war elephant, and could only watch the war elephant's actions like spectators.
Rumble!
With a loud bang, the whole wooden catapult shook and collapsed in half, and then the war elephant crashed into it again, knocking all the catapults apart.
The slaves who could not dodge were crushed to death by the falling logs, and some of the escaped slaves were stabbed to death by the daggers on the trunks of the war elephants.
An ancient Roman officer in charge of guarding the catapult was furious, and was about to pounce on it, when he saw more war elephants rushing towards him in the distance, and at this time, the javelin in Wei Xiaobei's hand had already flown towards the war elephant.
Call!
Poof!
The sound of javelins piercing into the body of the war elephant is clearly audible.
The muscles of the war elephant's body tensed, and the javelin was inserted into the small half to stop castration, and then the force of the impact caused all the javelins exposed to the war elephant's body to shatter.
This is also the reason why Wei Xiaobei's blow is not strong.
The ancient Roman officer glanced at Wei Xiaobei and shouted, to the effect that he would hand over this place to Wei Xiaobei.
There was no doubt that the ancient Roman officer was very relieved after seeing Wei Xiaobei's great strength, and then he carried a large shield and ran towards the war elephant in the distance. (To be continued.) )
