Three Kingdoms Swept the World II

Chapter 715 The Great Debacle That Shocked the World
The cavalry unit of the Allied Army of the Princes began to attack the center of the huge Roman army with a sharp posture.

Amid the melodious sound of horns, the Roman phalanx entered a defensive posture.

The Roman phalanx in heavy armor likes this defensive posture the most.In their eyes, the enemies who come rushing from a distance have always been just straws waiting to be harvested.This straw has been harvested by the Roman phalanx for nearly a thousand years without a single miss.

Many surviving Roman veterans who had experienced the Chinese Armenian series of battles and the Asiatic campaign became excited.They knocked on their shields and started roaring. In all previous battles against Huaxia, they had no chance to enter the battle in their current posture.But this time, it finally arrived at the rhythm of the Roman phalanx.

"The front line is your life, guard the front line, kill the enemy, the glory of the empire is calling you!" Roman centurions loudly encouraged morale.

The Roman army, on the Ephesus Plain, laid a huge steel line of defense three kilometers long and five kilometers in length and width.A solid, dense line of defense made of huge steel shields, each with a sharp spear pointing to the sky, how spectacular.

At this moment, 30 Roman soldiers were closely linked together, and their formation was already a steel fortress full of barbs.

And Huaxia's soldiers, driven by the princes headed by Yuan Shao, rammed into this steel fortress.

Arrows were like rain, covering the bright sunlight, as if dark clouds suddenly appeared, covering a square kilometer of land.

This is the rain of arrows fired by hundreds of thousands of Roman soldiers, invincible.

The cavalry of the alliance army of the princes who launched an assault as a conical array of front arrows, although protected by armor, fell in pieces in pieces in the face of the arrows of the gust of wind and rain.

The cavalry of the Chinese Alliance Expeditionary Army also responded with gallops.

But the Romans, who were in a state of fortress defense, were very familiar with this kind of counterattack.The centurion yelled loudly, and the soldiers in the back row raised their shields, and the entire area covered by the rushing shots immediately became a turtle shell array.

The densely packed arrows fell sharply, making clanking noises when they hit the shield, without any merit.

"Impact, impact is coming. Arch your waist and hold your shoulders!"

The tyrannical posture of the galloping horses can scare people to death.But the Roman soldiers, under the yelling of the centurions, were ready for the impact.

Huge continuous thunderous crashes began to fill the entire world.

The Romans were very cunning. The Roman phalanx in the front row deliberately kept the shields in their hands at a slight angle.

From this point of view, the cavalry of the alliance army of the princes who came on the attack all rushed to the sky in front of the huge counter force.Thousands of war horses, like a car in a car accident in later generations, turned somersault in the air and smashed into the back row of the Roman phalanx.

Puff puff puff... Thousands of Chinese war horses and cavalry died tragically on the sharp spears erected by the Roman phalanx.The Roman soldiers didn't need to move at all, as long as they stood densely and erected their spears, they could successfully kill the falling Chinese cavalry.

In the first contact, the allied army of the Chinese princes failed to shake the steel fortress formed by the Roman phalanx. Thousands of cavalry were turned on their backs, and a large number of them died tragically under the rain of arrows in Rome.

However, the charge has already begun and will not stop there. 30 soldiers of the Chinese Allied Army, and [-] foreign legions, like a flood, attacked the Roman phalanx one after another.They were not afraid of death, and they fought bravely, hoping to tear apart the Roman phalanx.

However, wave after wave of Chinese soldiers died tragically in front of the Roman phalanx.

The Roman phalanx never moved a step, neither advanced nor retreated.

The Roman phalanx was simply a killing machine. The shields fanned out rhythmically, and tens of thousands of spears stabbed out, harvesting the lives of the enemies.

Roman soldiers killed like hemp, they were excited, this is their rhythm of war.In their previous battles with Huaxia, the resentment that they were forced to drag into the rhythm of Huaxia suddenly turned into sharp knives and spewed out.

"kill!"

"kill!"

"kill!"

Every time Rome roars, it will take the lives of thousands of Chinese soldiers.

princes side.

"How could this be?"

The princes headed by Yuan Shao thought that they could cut through the Roman battle formation with just one assault.Because the Romans were historically incompetent and simply not their opponents.

Now, however, the situation is completely different.The soldiers of the princes attacked the Roman phalanx fiercely. Every soldier was dying, but they couldn't shake the Roman phalanx.

"It can't be like this!" Liu Biao exclaimed, "During the Battle of Mount Araz, the Roman soldiers were not like this. They were vulnerable."

Yuan Shu, Liu Zhang and others also made similar calls.They have fought against the Romans more than once, and each time, they have defeated the Romans in a desperate manner. Why is it different this time?
Later, the princes headed by Yuan Shao believed that the current situation was just a coincidence, and that only by adding more force, they could tear apart the Roman phalanx and open the road to victory.

Amidst the sound of drums, under the encouragement of the princes headed by Yuan Shao, Erlang of Huaxia composed a heroic song.For the Romans, it was tantamount to the melody of victory.

The expeditionary force of the Alliance of Chinese Princes fought desperately to attack the steel fortress composed of 30 Romans, but was mercilessly massacred.

But Yuan Shao and the others, red-eyed, kept yelling orders and charged with all their strength.

An hour later, when Yuan Shao and the others realized something, one hundred thousand Chinese sons and eighty thousand foreign soldiers were buried on the shore of the Aegean Sea.The blood and remains made the plain of Ephesus a veritable hell on earth.

The Romans stepped on the corpses of Chinese soldiers and sang the glory of Rome.

Severus and the Glory bloodlines were already trembling with excitement, and they just won.On the verge of the collapse of the empire, they ushered in a brilliant victory that completely reversed the victory, a brilliant victory that is enough to be recorded in the annals of Roman history for thousands of years.

"We have defeated Qin Zijin! No..." Severus suddenly remembered that it was not Qin Zijin who was directing him, and immediately felt a lot of regret.

princes side.

"Yuan Benchu, you idiots!" Cao Cao angrily grabbed Yuan Shao's collar, "This is the real fighting power of the Romans, what Qin Zijin said is not wrong."

"What about before that? We have been winning." Facing the current situation, Yuan Shao was terrified and lost his voice.

"What do you think?" Cao Cao growled.In fact, at the beginning, he also hoped to eliminate the Romans in one battle.But he didn't think the Romans were incapable of fighting, so he put forward a proposition similar to Qin Feng's mobile warfare.But the princes headed by Yuan Shao came here because they abandoned Qin Feng. Naturally, they would not adopt Cao Cao's suggestion, so Cao Cao reserved his opinion.

Cao Cao still had some hope, so he reserved his opinion. Now it seems that he was wrong.Big mistake.

The princes were frightened. Things were so unexpected that they began to be at a loss.

"How to do!"

"It would be great if Qin Zijin was here, he must have a way!" The princes turned around in fright.Facing the disastrous situation, they thought of Qin Feng.

On the battlefield, the morale of the Chinese Alliance Expeditionary Force plummeted, and there was a disparity in combat strength.Severus blew the trumpet of victory, and the Romans swarmed out like a swarm, and began to nibble and kill the alliance army throughout the battlefield.

The situation took a turn for the worse, and the princes headed by Yuan Shao were shattered. They no longer had the courage to face the Romans, and they retreated with the whole army.

In July 195 AD, in Asia, the 'Ephesus Rout' shocked the world.Comparable to the famous fiasco of 'Waterloo'.

At that time, the princes dismissed Qin Feng, the leader of the alliance, and completely abandoned Qin Feng's correct theory of mobile warfare.The princes wrongly evaluated the combat effectiveness of the Roman army. They thought they could wipe out the Romans in one battle and spread their prestige outside the territory, but they entered into the advantage of weaknesses and avoidance of strengths.They stormed the Roman phalanx, which is famous all over the world for its defensive power, and suffered heavy losses. More than [-] people were buried on the battlefield.The Chinese princes headed by Yuan Shao created a shocking world, and Ephesus was defeated.

At that time, the situation of the Huaxia Expedition took a turn for the worse, and it entered a critical situation where the entire army was wiped out, and "30 sons left their hometown, and one man could not return."

As the situation after the defeat became out of hand, even if Sun Wu was resurrected, it would be impossible to turn the tide.
