Chapter 326 Roman Battle Group and Caltrops
Stepping on the piles of corpses and seas of blood below the city, the second round of the Xiliang army finally reached the top of the city. The defending Roman team had already given up the defense of the battlements, and opened up a certain distance to form sporadic squares. Fight to the death without giving up an inch.This time, they let the Yuan Rong crossbow shoot at the exposed enemy army first. In such a situation, the enemy soldiers who had just climbed the city wall would most likely be hit by arrows and fall down screaming.The rest of the enemy troops who couldn't take care of them were stabbed by spears first when their foothold was unstable. If they had high force and quick response, they would be attacked by Roman soldiers later.And those Roman soldiers who broke into the battle didn't care about fighting at all, and quickly retreated into their own formation after they had gained something.

In this way, although the enemy army came surging, it seemed that they came to die on purpose.The enemy soldiers behind him saw Xiandeng die tragically one by one, but they didn't know why.And when they knew the reason, they couldn't open their mouths to tell... Although the Roman team's method was not very weird and sharp, it was this very effective defensive formation that made a large number of enemies gradually hesitant and timid!
In this siege, although the Xiliang army had the advantage of having a large number of people, the Roman army had a more reasonable battle formation.For a moment, the entire city was almost turned into a sea of ​​corpses, and blood was allowed to stain the entire Tongguan.But Zhou Cang, Liao Hua and the other thieves who stood stupidly by the side were a little unbelievable and had to marvel.

"Damn it, why didn't we think of this method before?!" Zhou Cang stared blankly for a long time, and then said sadly: "If we had thought of this method earlier, how many brothers would not die!"

"Boss! Don't blame yourself. Although this formation seems simple, it requires soldiers to have a high degree of discipline and tacit understanding. Among other things, those soldiers with short knives can kill the enemy after killing the enemy." Not being greedy for merit, and quickly returning to the formation. None of our subordinates can do it. What's more, there are those crossbowmen who are fearless and spearmen who are comprehensive. Not to mention, those shield soldiers are not afraid. Life-and-death protection..." Liao Hua observed for a long time, and finally saw the extremely high requirements of this simple formation.He patted Zhou Cang's shoulder and said comfortingly.

"That's right, I was still a little angry when that Us asked us to leave earlier. From this point of view, if we forcefully charge forward, not only will we not be able to help, but it will also mess up their formation..." Zhou Cang also He's not a fool. After Liao Hua said it, he immediately understood the brilliance of this battle formation: "From this, it seems that the military adviser has really foreseen everything."

Liao Hua nodded, but then, the frown on his forehead became tighter and tighter: because after this period of fighting, the corpses of the enemy soldiers had piled up like mountains on the battlements, and the crossbowmen under Publius could no longer move quickly. Clearly aimed at the target, lost the distance advantage.And, what's more serious, due to the accumulation of too many corpses, the heroic Xiliang army stepped on the corpses and pounced on the Roman battle line, which made Publius more and more pressured!
Finally, a crossbowman shot down a Xiliang soldier when faced with three enemies who were attacking at the same time, and then that one was also stabbed to death by the following spearmen.But there was another Xiliang army, who directly passed through the killing of the two sword and shield fighters, and rushed into the Roman battle formation!

Publius immediately stepped forward to kill the Xiliang soldier himself, but it is undeniable that casualties have already begun to appear in the Roman battle.After all, it can be expected that such situations will occur frequently in the future...

"What should we do? Are we just watching here?!" Zhou Cang was angry, his eyes were bloodshot.Among this kind of anger, there is not only the anger of not being able to kill the enemy in person, but also the anger of being insulted by the Roman legion!
"I think we can bring up the things we prepared before." Liao Hua said with a frown, with a final look of determination in his eyes.

"You mean? Those things that were used in robbery before?" Zhou Cang also came to his senses, he naturally knew what Liao Hua was talking about.However, if those things are brought here, can they be useful?

Liao Hua didn't say anything, but ordered a dozen people to fetch those things.But at this time, the fierce white-to-white fighting finally began. From the beginning to the end of the city, countless sharp soldiers and sharp weapons were slashing and killing each other.The two sides stepped on the bodies of the wounded and the dead and continued to fight, screaming continuously.

In this battle, the Roman legion is still the most effective deterrent to killing.Using the cooperation of swords, shields and long strengths, they successively organized a small battle formation of three or five people, although the enemy was menacing.But they found that there were always three or five enemies in front of them. No matter how they charged together, or how they tried to encircle and attack them, what they faced was always a combination of swords, shields and spears.

The Sutie steel knives and long spears equipped by the Roman team are very powerful. Their knives can easily cut off the long tails of the Xiliang army and split the armor of the Xiliang army.They have been defending the entire defense area in teams of three or five, making it impossible for the Xiliang army to advance!
The siege lasted from morning until now when the sun was starting to fade.For several hours, the Roman battle group did not drink a sip of water or eat a sip of food. They just persisted and fought like this. They are like angry rocks standing by the sea, standing alone on the shore in a lonely posture. On the edge, straighten the hard edges and corners, and smash the aggressive waves on the beach into splashing floral droplets time and time again!
"Liao Hua, do you think this will work?" Zhou Cang asked hesitantly when he saw that his subordinates got those things.

"How do you know if you don't try?!" Liao Hua was also a little anxious, because he found that the enemy's offensive this time was definitely different from any of the previous three days: this time, it seemed that they were planning to use all their troops to capture Qin. close!
"It's now!" Seeing that there was finally a gap in the battle between the Xiliang Army and the Roman Legion, Liao Hua waved.He immediately threw those things between the Roman legion and the Xiliang army.

Publius took a closer look and found that those things had four protruding iron thorns, several inches long, and when they hit the ground, one of the thorns always pointed upwards.At first Publius did not know what it was, but later he understood the beauty of it.

I saw those Xiliang soldiers coming over from the pile of people again, as soon as they landed, some unlucky guys were immediately stabbed in the feet, and jumped three feet high, but before the shouts could be heard, they were shot by bows with sharp eyesight and quick hands. The crossbowman shot to death with an arrow, and rolled down the city together with the enemy soldiers behind him who were about to pounce.

Of course, barbed wire does not distinguish between friend and foe.Some Roman soldiers who killed the enemy were accidentally pricked by barbed wire.But after Publius understood Liao Hua's intentions, he immediately shouted loudly: "Give up the sword and shield to kill, keep a distance from the enemy, and prepare to start throwing javelins!"

With an order, the sword and shield players gave up their short swords and shields one after another, and retreated behind the long spear formation.Start throwing javelins.In this way, with the double long-distance advantages of the Yuanrong crossbow and the javelin, and relying on the fact that the later enemy troops did not know about the secret trick of the caltrop, the later enemy troops were hit by the trick one after another, howling with pain on the soles of their feet, Or die among the crowd, or fall into the city.The Xiliang army's offensive finally slowed down a lot.

Finally, after hearing the sound of the enemy's 'Dang Dang Dang Dang', Publius walked up to Liao Hua and Zhou Cang, and said: "You Han people are really cunning. But, I like you!"

But Liao Hua and Zhou Cang were taken aback for a moment, they didn't understand what Publius meant by 'like' at all.They looked at each other and ran away quickly: "Brothers, help throw these enemy corpses to the city!"

And Publius shook his head regretfully: I wanted to hug the two of them...
