Lord of the People of Online Games (Lord of the Gaming World)

Chapter 274 The first confrontation with Rome

"The national war is coming to an end, and all lords can bring their population back to their respective territories."

Chutian received a notification from the system that he could bring the residents of eleven cities back to the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Chutian brought 10,000 main forces, but only 6,000 remained. He also recruited a group of high-level arms on the battlefield of the National War, including the Women's Army, the infantry battalion, the Xiliu battalion, the cavalry archers and other arms, basically making up for the loss.

At the same time, Chutian also has about 30,000 servants, including about 12,000 servants of special arms and 18,000 low-level soldiers.

"Except for the special arms, the other low-level arms are temporarily recruited soldiers. Back in the Eastern Han Dynasty, it is difficult to maintain so many troops, so they will still be turned into civilians and resettled."

Chutian decided to place these populations in various counties of Xuzhou.

"I didn't expect to fail to fight the Roman legion in the end."

Chutian's only regret is this.

There is a price to pay for the war. In order to avoid unnecessary losses, the two sides did not fight. If there is a real fight, the two sides may have generals killed, or more than half of the high-level troops.

These big lords are all about stability, and the European lords need three people to join forces in order to deal with Zhang Dao. Under the premise that the strength of the two sides is similar, both sides have maintained restraint.

"There will be opportunities to fight the Roman legions in the future, and they will become powerful enemies."

Jiujiu Lao Qin also regretted not being able to fight the Roman legion.

"There is a teleportation array, and expeditions can be carried out. It is indeed possible to fight against Rome in the future, provided they can reconquer Europe. Europe may not be willing to see the rise of the Roman Empire. After all, this is not the era of Rome."

"We need to reunify as soon as possible in the Eastern Han Dynasty. Don't have a situation where the Three Kingdoms stand upright. Once the Three Kingdoms stand up for decades, the European side may come over."

"Who knows what will happen in the future."

Chu Tian talked with Jiujiu Lao Qin. Both East and West are trying to speed up their unification. Europe does not have a tradition of unification, but in the face of threats from the East, most of Europe will devote itself to the cause of unification. After all, the larger the territory and the larger the population, the safer your civilization will be.

"Can you control Lu Bu? Join forces with Dong Zhuo. You wouldn't want to take over Dong Zhuo's power after Dong Zhuo's death, would you?"

It is rare for Chu Tian to meet with Jiujiu Lao Qin.

After returning to the main world, the two sides will be potential competitors again.

If Ji Jiu Lao Qin successfully took over Dong Zhuo's army, he would undoubtedly become a strong enemy, no less than Xuzhou in Guanzhong.

"When I get back to Guanzhong, I will try to get Dong Zhuo to make me a commander of Sili."

Chu Tian, ​​Zhao Long, and Huma were secretly shocked. Sili Xiaowei is a secret inspector who supervises the capital and the surrounding areas of the capital.

If Dong Zhuo really moved Jijiu Lao Qin to be the Sili Commander, then the Eastern Han Dynasty would officially enter the stage of separatism, and the state shepherd, the prefect, the governor, and the Sili commander would coexist.

Jiujiu Lao Qin did not hide his ambitions at all. Even Chu Tian, ​​who was far away in Xuzhou, saw Ji Jiu Lao Qin's thoughts.

"Get ready to go back to the Eastern Han Dynasty."

Jiujiu Lao Qin, Zhao Long, and Huma returned to their respective camps.

"I don't know what's going on in Xuzhou."

Chutian couldn't know the situation in Xuzhou, so he was worried about Xuzhou. If Xia Xia Liang could not suppress Xuzhou's aristocratic families, it would leave some hidden dangers.

Hua Mulan stood beside Chu Tian, ​​and it was rare to see Chu Tian showing a worried expression. Hua Mulan was a little envious of Xia Xia Liang, she didn't have such a chance, because Chu Tian would take her with him every time he fought.

"That's the powerful Roman legion that the lord said. Even the lord is on guard against the Roman legion. I heard that their heavy infantry phalanx is invincible."

Xue Rengui and Zhao Yun led a team of high-level cavalry to patrol the outside, and they were eager to try when they saw the eagle flag of Rome.

"We can go and attack their scouts or food trucks."

"it is good!"

Although Chutian strictly ordered the generals not to fight with the Roman legion in order to prevent the Roman legion from falling into a meaningless meat-crushing battle, the small-scale conflicts between the two sides continued.

Before the end of the national war, Xue Rengui and Zhao Yun wanted to join forces to do a big thing, and they would meet for a while in Rome, whom their lord regarded as the enemy.

They led a thousand white horse cavalry quickly interspersed and penetrated deep into the rear of the Roman legion.

The white horse cavalry is very fast, and can retreat calmly even if it is surrounded by the enemy's rear.

The Roman legions are counting the populations of the cities and plan to relocate the population of seven cities back to Rome. Compared with the population of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the current Roman Republic is not yet an empire, and its population is insufficient. It is equivalent to a state in the Eastern Han Dynasty. The population of nearly one million in seven cities is a huge wealth for the Roman Republic.

In addition to ranking rewards, the population and gold and silver of the National War battlefield are also part of the loot.

"Population is a more important reward than points for us in Rome. If there is sufficient population, the Roman Republic can annex other civilizations around it and become a great empire. However, they are not eligible to become Roman citizens, only slaves."

The Roman lord stood on the city wall and looked at the Eastern Han camp opposite.

A state in the Eastern Han Empire is equivalent to the size of a European civilization. He must try to become the consul of Rome before he can start the road of Rome's hegemony of unifying the Mediterranean.

"A white horse cavalry left the opponent's camp and broke through our line of defense. There are about a thousand people!"

When the Roman lord received a report from a Roman general, he looked surprised. He did not expect that the national war was about to end, and the cavalry of the Eastern Han Dynasty dared to take risky actions.

Before the annexation of the nomadic civilization, the Roman legions lacked qualified cavalry and used heavy infantry as their main force. In the face of the actions of the Eastern Han cavalry, he could only send a small number of light cavalry in the Roman legion.

On the plain, a Roman army, after carrying out the task of counting the population and spoils, went to gather in the city where the lord was.

This Roman army consisted of only three brigades, about 1,500 men, of which 100 were cavalry. In addition to the Roman troops, there were more than a thousand civilians and the booty of the escort.

The Roman general Scipio the Younger wore a Roman helmet and rode a war horse to escort the spoils.

The Roman legion did not fight a decent enemy in this national war, and also eliminated a lord of Guiyang County in the Eastern Han Empire.

*Scipio the Younger, Roman commander. The adopted son of the son of Scipio the Great, who destroyed Carthage, the enemy of Rome, conquered Spain, and served as the consul of Rome.

"Why is the lord afraid of the Eastern Han Dynasty? As long as the opponent is drawn out to the field for battle, our Roman legion can completely defeat and destroy the Eastern Han legion."

Scipio the Little and Scipio the Great, two famous Roman commanders were in the Roman legions, and they were confident in their ability to defeat the Eastern Han legions. But their lord refused their request to fight because Joan of Arc of France was captured and he was unwilling to take the risk. In the battle with the Eastern Han Army, there is a possibility that two famous generals of Scipio, big and small, will be captured.

"General, cavalry! A cavalry is fast approaching!"

The light cavalry who were reconnaissance ahead suddenly gave a warning.

"Array!"

Little Scipio immediately lined up, and the three Roman battalions quickly formed formation.

A thousand white-horse cavalry has roared, following the Roman scout cavalry!

Two of the experienced Roman battalions lined up for the first time, and the third Roman battalion seemed a little flustered in the face of the eastern light cavalry because of the new recruits.

Xue Rengui and Zhao Yun teamed up to go deep into the enemy's territory and quickly attacked the third Roman brigade!

A round of arrows rained, and dozens of Roman soldiers were killed by arrows. Both the White Horse Yi Cong and the Tang Dynasty cavalry archers were extremely good at riding and archery.

The Roman soldiers rarely fought against the eastern cavalry at present, and suddenly suffered a big loss.

Xue Rengui held the Fang Tianhua halberd, and Zhao Yun held the red tassel, and broke into the chaotic third brigade of Rome, invincible!

When the Roman soldier saw the horse's hoof raised high, Xue Rengui's Fang Tianhua halberd smashed it down, smashing the Roman soldier's helmet and head!

The recruits of the third brigade of Rome encountered the attack of the white horse cavalry, and suffered heavy casualties. When the first round of the charge of the white horse cavalry was over, there were less than 200 of the 500 people in the third brigade.

"The cavalry of the East is so heroic!"

Little Scipio was startled when he saw a large group of infantrymen killed and wounded 300 people.

Although the third brigade was recruited on the battlefield of the National War, with his commander bonus, it was even caught off guard by Xue Rengui and Zhao Yun.

After Xue Rengui and Zhao Yun launched their first charge, they gathered the white horse cavalry, but only a few were killed.

They attempted to attack the Roman army, which had fewer than 1,200 men left.

"The Roman Legion is nothing more than that!"

"Let's work together to destroy this Roman army and make a contribution!"

"it is good!"

Xue Rengui and Zhao Yun's confidence surged after destroying a Roman team.

A thousand white horse cavalry, led by Xue Rengui and Zhao Yun, charged the other two Roman battalions.

As long as the formation of the Roman brigade loosens, they will wipe out the entire Roman army.

"Follow orders!"

The famous Roman general Scipio retracted his contempt for the Eastern Han army. Facing the impact of the white horse cavalry, if they were not careful, they might be wiped out.

The two Roman battalions were engrossed, with soldiers in the front holding javelin shields and Roman archers in the rear.

Xue Rengui and Zhao Yun led the light cavalry. After reaching a distance of forty or fifty meters, the light cavalry turned around and shot arrows on horseback.

The Roman army gathered up in formation, the first row of infantry crouched down with their shields on the ground, the second row of infantry placed their shields on the front row of shields, and the third and subsequent rows of infantrymen raised their shields above their heads, overlapping like tiles!

The rain of arrows fell, and many of the rain of arrows were blocked by shields. The Roman legion suffered less losses than Xue Rengui and Zhao Yun imagined.

"Fire arrows!"

Roman foot archers throw a rain of arrows, inflicting casualties on the white horse cavalry.

Xue Rengui and Zhao Yun were only using cavalry to test, and they were not so impulsive to directly attack the Roman legion, which was dominated by heavy infantry, with light cavalry.

The advantage of the hussars is that they can constantly interfere with the formation of the infantry.

For infantry, a good commander is more important. In contrast, cavalry can also perform miracles under the leadership of fierce generals.

When Xue Rengui and Zhao Yun saw that the Roman legion was neatly formed, they immediately led the cavalry to bypass it.

Little Scipio witnessed Xue Rengui and Zhao Yun's temptation, but did not directly attack the Roman legion, and said to himself: "They have no plan."

He longed to fight in close quarters with Xue Rengui and Zhao Yun's Eastern cavalry. With the strength of Roman warriors, as long as he fought in close quarters, he could most likely kill the white horse cavalry.

His brigade of two Roman veterans was nothing compared to the beaten third brigade.

Once Xue Rengui and Zhao Yun's cavalry approached, the Roman legion would use javelins to inflict hundreds of casualties on the white horse cavalry.

"How to destroy this Roman army?"

"They lacked cavalry and used mounted shots for harassment."

Xue Rengui and Zhao Yun faced the Roman brigade and the baggage team, and after a simple discussion, decided to use the mounted archer to deal with the Roman army.

The cavalry on white horses surrounded the Roman army and fired arrows quickly, the sharp arrows shot through the shields of the Roman heavy infantry!

Xue Rengui's cavalry archers of the Tang Dynasty generally used armor-piercing heavy arrows that cost more than 100 yuan. Roman shields may not be able to block them all. Many arrows penetrated the shield and nailed the arms of the Roman heavy infantry to the shield!

Roman warriors were continually being killed, and one Roman warrior after another fell.

The arrows shot by Xue Rengui were even sharper. Not only did they pierce through shields, but even the chainmail and scale armor of Roman soldiers could not resist!

After the Roman soldiers in the front row were killed, the Roman soldiers in the rear immediately filled the vacancies.

Facing the light cavalry in the east and the compound bow in the east, the Roman heavy infantry corps, which did not pay attention to the construction of the cavalry, was in trouble.

Xue Rengui and Zhao Yun's light cavalry did not fight with them in close combat, making it impossible for the Roman heavy infantry with strong melee combat power to start.

"The cavalry is very important, we must have a strong cavalry that belongs to Rome, or a cavalry from a reliable ally."

Little Scipio was helpless in the face of the white-horse cavalry's cavalry attack.

If the Roman army were to attack, it would fall into the trap of the eastern cavalry, and the Roman legions, which were mainly heavy infantry, would have difficulty catching up with the eastern light cavalry.

He was waiting for the arrows of the Eastern Hussars to be exhausted.

The Roman legions were passive, and many grumpy Roman heavy infantry gritted their teeth against the Eastern cavalry. Without the command of the coach, they dared not step forward to catch up.

Xue Rengui and Zhao Yun taught the proud Roman heavy infantry a good lesson, but the Roman legion did not completely collapse.

"Their commander-in-chief is strictly disciplined. Unless we have a heavy cavalry in our hands, it will be difficult for them to be wiped out."

Xue Rengui harassed him several times, and saw that the Roman legion was standing still, and his cavalry did not bring many arrows, so he might not be able to destroy the Roman heavy infantry of more than a thousand people.

On the horizon, the battle flag of the black cross appeared, and Teutonic knights in full plate armor arrived with a troop of light cavalry.

They received a request from the Roman lord to come to aid Scipio the Younger. If the little Scipio was captured alive, it would be an unbearable loss for the Roman lord.

"retreat!"

Xue Rengui and Zhao Yun were worried that they would be surrounded by the Teutonic Knights after the arrows were used up, so they gave up the Roman legion and quickly evacuated.

The Roman legion only pursued at this time, but Xue Rengui and Zhao Yun had already left.
