Chapter 615
"Boom bang bang..."
The [-] ironclad ships moored in the middle of the river were driving side by side, and their [-] muzzles were also aimed at the shore.
A long series of screams brought shells pouring to the opposite bank, and after the artillery attack reached the battlefield again, the Roman heavy cavalry legion, which had just been killed by Wang Shuang for a while, was severely damaged.
The war horses were frightened one after another, and threw the pawns off their horses.
Afterwards, when the cavalry fell to the ground, it was buried by the dust raised by the explosion of the crater. When someone looked around, they could only see a corpse covered in blood.
"Cannonball, a new type of cannonball."
"The Han army has used new weapons and equipped them on iron-clad ships."
Elagabalus' eyes were red with anxiety. It was the heavy armored cavalry regiment that he had worked so hard to equip from the national treasury. They were bombarded by the artillery fire from the ironclad ship in such a burst, and at such a short distance, how could they Still able to withstand it.
"Didn't it mean that the Han army only had ten ironclad ships?"
"Why are there still a hundred ships here, so many."
"Your Majesty, these ironclad ships are small, and they should have been designed by the Han army to sail in the river."
"But why did they drive up from the lower reaches of the Tigris River, did they go through the Persian Gulf?"
"No, Your Majesty, I suspect they are traveling by railway."
"railway."
"The rails made of extruded steel, and the carriages that can use steam to move quickly on the rails, is the technology of the Han Empire really ahead of our Roman Empire?"
For the first time, Elagabalus discovered that his Roman Empire seemed to be crushed in terms of technology.
"Your Majesty, the artillery fire is raging ahead. If your battle flag moves forward, the enemy's artillery will probably shoot at you."
"What are you afraid of?"
Elagabalus turned ruthless, "Here's an order to push the wooden horse shield wall in front of me, and I will personally lead the cavalry regiment to raid the beach and fight side by side with the warriors of our Roman Empire."
"Yes."
"Kill!"
"His Majesty the Emperor is with us!"
"Justice belongs to the Romans!"
"Sparta!"
All of a sudden, on the battlefield, those Roman legions that were somewhat defeated began to counterattack. Those bloody Roman soldiers, as if they had taken the indestructible medicine of King Kong, dared to rush forward with many wounds on their bodies.
"Sire, Elagabalus moved three miles forward with his cavalry regiment."
"I see." Liu Feng put down the binoculars in his hand and picked up a simple loudspeaker.
In fact, it is an iron pot.
"Gan Ning, fire at me, aim at Elagabalus' king's flag, and blast his mother."
"Here." Hearing Liu Feng's voice, Gan Ning was stunned for a moment, and immediately looked for the Roman flag that was facing directly at the beach, "Order, all artillery, turn around and shoot down the Roman flag."
"Whoever knocks down the imperial flag of the Roman Empire will be rewarded with a thousand pieces of gold as a marquis."
"Whoever shoots and kills the emperor of the Roman Empire will be named Marquis of a Thousand Households, and he will be promoted to three ranks in a row."
In an instant, all the gunners, stimulated by the reward, immediately turned their guns and aimed at the Chinese army.
"put!"
"Boom bang bang..."
A long series of explosions filled the tall wooden horse, which was fixed with rivets and protected by thousands of shield soldiers. The wooden horse fell apart in an instant, and the Roman soldiers holding their shields were overturned by the artillery explosion. .
Elagabalus was trembling all over, and his face was extremely pale.
The wooden horse in front of him was already burning rapidly, and the army was still advancing at this moment, just to prevent the momentum of the charge from stopping.
In front of Guan Ping, who was blocked at the beach, there were less than 1000 of the [-] swordsmen beside him.
At this moment, in front of them, there is a thick layer of dead bodies, counting them in detail, there are probably no less than [-] to [-].
But it's not worth it to fight them with an elite Pu Daoist.
The [-] sword shield soldiers in front had already fallen into a pool of blood.
That is to say, without them, the spears of the Roman legion began to show their power.
It wasn't until Guan Ping retreated to the cobblestone-covered beach that gunshots sounded in the distance.
"put!"
"Boom bang bang..."
In front of Guan Ping and others, a large number of Roman soldiers fell directly.
Then the soldiers of the brigade rushed down from the Jiaolong battleship, raised their wooden shields and stood in front of Guan Ping and the others.
"General Guan Ping, let's go down and rest first, we will leave this battle to us."
Guan Ping shook his head, "In this battle, we waited for more than 7 troops to land on the north bank, and less than [-] were lost."
"But the enemy's casualties are more than 25."
"Our army will continue to contain this battle, and attacking with long-range artillery and muskets is enough to win."
"it is good."
As soon as the voice fell, countless black spots were thrown from a distance.
"No, raise your shield quickly."
"Protect the general."
Pieces of wooden shields were lifted up and directly covered the heads of the Han army, but one or two hundred people were killed on the spot by the thrown stones.
"How ruthless, these Romans, when the enemy and our armies are fighting so close, they still use catapults to throw stone bullets to attack." Guan Ping glanced solemnly at the distance, this catapult must be from three hundred It was thrown from outside the step.
"Find the catapults, move the muzzle, and destroy these catapults first." On the ironclad ship, Gan Ning sneered. He hadn't waited for the move of the Roman Legion before, but now that he has discovered it, can he still escape?
"put!"
"Boom bang bang..."
Three or two cannonballs, that is a catapult. The catapults of the Roman legion are all fixed on the ground. Many catapults were bombed to pieces.
"it is good!"
On the beach, the excited shouts of the Han army sounded.
[-] to [-] navy soldiers arrived on the battlefield and started fighting with the enemy, and [-] musketeers began to show their power.
"Xingba, you sit here, the old man will go."
Huang Zhong and Gan Ning brushed past each other and headed towards the battlefield.
"Huang Zhong, General of the Five Tigers of the Han Dynasty, is here, and the barbarians of the Roman Empire, die!"
Huang Zhong charged into the disordered army with a saber in his hand, dashing from left to right, cutting down many of the spearmen, and then raised his saber straight ahead.
"Brothers, follow me to kill the enemy and serve the country!"
"Kill!"
Behind them, the 90 to [-] soldiers unexpectedly erupted with a momentum even more ferocious than the [-] to [-] Roman troops in front of them. In one go, they directly repelled the enemy by one or two hundred steps.
It lasted for a full hour, and the Han army had already built a position on the beach.
But Liu Feng was worried.
"Our army suffered more than 10,000 casualties in this battle."
"In the Battle of Tiannan, Xu Huang's 40 prisoners were only captured barbarians, and the casualties in the headquarters were only about [-]. Now this battle can be said to be the most deadly battle for our army since the Western Conquest. "
