Three Kingdoms: Marry Sun Shangxiang at the beginning

Chapter 597 Battle of the Euphrates

On the other side of the camp of the Han army, there were not many torches, and there were not many patrolling soldiers.

Only where the big tent of the Chinese army is located, there are many figures standing.

"Report... the governor, all the main forces of the Roman legion are crossing the river."

Pang Tongtong stroked his beard with his hand, "Mr. Cao, you retreat to the city of Medes, and I will lead the army to fight against the Roman legion."

"it is good."

Cao Cao nodded heavily, "Shi Yuan must be careful."

"Cao Gong, don't worry, I, Pang Tong, have prepared a big meal for these bastards."

On the opposite side, Barris has reached the middle of the river.

"Your Excellency, the ten regiments of the former army have successfully crossed the river, and they are lined up on the river with their backs on their backs."

"it is good."

Barris was so determined that the Han people didn't notice it, which is great.

"call"

At the moment he responded, countless torches suddenly went up in the camp of the Han army on the opposite bank. In an instant, the lights were brightly lit, and countless troops were overwhelmingly dark, rushing towards the shore like a tide.

"not good."

Barris' complexion changed drastically, "The Han people have an ambush."

"Your Excellency, are you withdrawing your troops now?"

"Withdraw?"

"Then at least half of the ten legions of our former army will not be able to return. They will fall into the turbulent river, be shot to death by the arrows of the Han army, and be driven into the river to drown."

"I can't do that."

Paris knew that if he lost [-] soldiers and horses before the battle, and the [-] main force had fought for the Roman Empire for many years, then he would be finished.

He will definitely be removed from office and brought to the Senate for trial.

How could he, Barris, be willing to end up like this.

"Send the order, and the rear team will follow immediately. The ten regiments of the front army will advance to twenty miles in front of the enemy camp. If the enemy troops come forward, they will fight with them."

"The battle of my Roman legion is on flat ground, enough to compete with any powerful army in the world."

"Yes."

"Report...report to the commander-in-chief that the Roman legion did not retreat half a step, but instead sent an order to cross the river at a faster speed. The [-] enemy troops who were backed by water also advanced towards our army."

"Oh?" Pang Tong, who had just got on the chariot, showed a bit of surprise on his face.

"Well, let's fight them head-on."

"Send an order to advance the chariot of Marquis Wu in the front line, and line up with horses, swords and shields."

"Then the crossbowmen stepped forward."

"Let Zhang Bao and Guan Xing use the Shenji Battalion to destroy the enemy's formation for me."

"Here."

"drink!"

Three thousand Marquis Wu's chariots stretched continuously, directly surrounded the river bank, and pushed forward.

Each one weighs several thousand kilograms, and there are still wheels on the road at the moment, waiting for a while to form, that is a wall, which cannot be pushed at all.

"Rumble..."

Seeing those steel monsters coming to the river, Barris, who had just landed, frowned slightly, "What is that?"

"Report to Your Excellency Governor, that should be a Han Chinese chariot of Marquis Wu, which was created by the Han Prime Minister himself. Now it is equipped with various Han armies. It is like a steel wheelbarrow being driven by the army. It can be placed on the ground at any time as a shield wall."

"Look at this movement, a Marquis Wu chariot weighs at least a thousand catties." Barris looked solemn, "It's a thing that weighs a thousand catties..."

"Certainly."

A hundred paces away, the chariots stopped.

"Not good, get ready, the shield soldiers stepped forward, ready to resist the arrows."

Barris yelled loudly, his voice was like thunder in the dark night. For a while, ten Roman legions marched forward, their footsteps were disordered. Immediately, more than 2 people held their shields and stood in front of them.

Moreover, the shields were joined together to form a full ten meters high, protecting the back tightly.

"Shenji Battalion."

"Fire."

On the opposite side, Wang Ping, who commanded the former army to fight, grinned happily.

The Roman Legion still used the old combat methods to face them. Don't they know that the Han Army has two thousand cannons?

"Boom bang bang..."

The current position of the Shenji Camp is the high slope on the west side of the camp. The Shenji Camp has no natural enemies, and there is even a 2-man team guarding it in front of it.

At this moment, two thousand cannons fired in salvo, and in an instant, the shells exploded in front of the opposite shield wall.

"Your Excellency, our shield formation was destroyed by enemy artillery."

"I saw it."

Hiding behind a layer of shields, Barris looked solemnly at the solid bullets that rolled down in front of him and knocked seven or eight meters away, each of which could kill many people.

At this moment, there was another sound, and then it landed in the front line. It was a flowering bullet thrown from a distance.

"Boom bang bang bang..."

It fell into the crowd and exploded. At this moment, more than ten thousand people in the front row screamed and wailed, and a large area was knocked down.

"Two volleys, and our army's formation is in chaos?"

"Fire arrows."

At the moment when Barris was stunned, the advancing Han infantry on the opposite side had already thrown a rain of arrows all over the sky.

The bed crossbow on Marquis Wu's chariot, as well as those swarms of bees that ignited sparks when pushed in front of Marquis Wu's chariot.

"Whoosh whoosh..."

The overwhelming arrows directly covered the beach.

"Raise your shield."

"Raise your shield to resist."

Barris yelled and watched as his army was covered.

The bombardment continued for half an hour.

The arrows continued to be thrown towards the front of his army for half an hour.

When Barris got up from a bomb crater and slapped off the dirt on his body, he looked around, and there were screaming hobbies everywhere, corpses and blood, and no one could stand at a glance.

The more than [-] troops who killed the river bank disappeared like this...

"Advance."

"drink!"

"drink!"

The Marquis Wu's chariot standing a hundred steps away suddenly pushed towards the river. Along the way, countless soldiers of the Roman legion, who were not yet dead, were also crushed by the wheels of the chariot, and were followed by the big man behind. The soldier's sword and gun were stabbed to death on the spot.

In his eyes, although Barris was full of anger, it was useless.

Because he saw that on the river bank, the pontoon bridge of his own army had been cut off by an unknown naval warship, and hundreds of pontoon bridges were on fire.

The army stranded on the other side did not have a good time.

The camp that originally accommodated 60 Roman legions ignited a fire that covered the sky and the sun.

"Barris, a certain Changshan Zhao Zilong has already burned your camp, and now you are the only one left on the other side, why don't you quickly let your soldiers surrender."

Zhao Yun slashed from left to right on the opposite bank, yelling at the Roman soldiers who were so frightened that their faces were blue and their faces were bewildered.

Barris knelt down in the sea of ​​corpses and blood, watching countless Han soldiers rushing towards him like a tidal wave.

He put a sword across his neck.

"Romans, never admit defeat!"

"Absolutely not!"

"Sparta!"

"chi"

He twisted the edge of the sword violently, and blood spattered out.

The commander of the Roman Legion, who commanded 60 people, was killed on the spot...
