Seeing the increasing number of ancient Roman armies, even Wei Xiaobei dared not chase it.
It is basically impossible to encircle and kill Wei Xiaobei on these streets, but it is difficult to say that too much killing will lead to a more powerful ancient Roman soldier.
Anyway, this killing also brought 4100 evolution points to Wei Xiaobei, which is a huge profit.
Wei Xiaobei is very satisfied. The danger of the gray world seems to be very low.
As long as you pay attention, you can quickly reach a large number of evolution points.
Of course, this premise must be not greedy.
Wei Xiaobei was curious about the gathering of these ancient Roman troops towards the horn. He climbed up the building beside the street, and with his own Rooting ability, he was far behind these ancient Roman troops.
Gradually, Wei Xiaobei saw that the direction of these ancient Roman troops should be outside the city.
With the advancement of these ancient Roman armies, the buildings on both sides of the street gradually changed towards the ancient Carthage style. The buildings supported by tall stone pillars abound, tall stone gates, etc. Bei retreated from his previous sense of violation, and looked at these magnificent buildings with interest.
While following these ancient Roman troops, Wei Xiaobei did not sail smoothly. Many buildings were far away, so Wei Xiaobei could only go down to the ground.
But often at this time, some ancient Roman troops will emerge from behind Wei Xiaobei. After killing two teams of Roman fighters, Wei Xiaobei had to disguise himself as an ancient Roman soldier.
After all, the more outside the city, the more Roman troops appeared, and Wei Xiaobei did not want to expose himself for the time being.
Putting on a chain mail armor, wearing a helmet, pulling down the lower armor, grabbing a few javelins, Wei Xiaobei watched for a while, then took advantage of a team of ancient Roman soldiers and a team of Carthage soldiers At the time, it was mixed in.
This group of Carthage soldiers was unlucky, surrounded by a Roman garden with more than twice the number of them in a ruined garden.
Compared with the more dense defensive formations of Carthage soldiers, the offensive formations of ancient Roman soldiers are relatively sparse. The distance between each soldier is about 1.5 meters wide. When the soldiers in the first row wield their weapons to do After a round of attacks, the soldiers in the second row will jump from the gap and attack the enemy again.
This rotating attack mode makes each soldier's stamina well preserved, and makes those Carthage soldiers exhausted and finally killed.
After some fighting, the ancient Roman soldiers wiped out this team of Carthage soldiers at a relatively small cost.
From beginning to end, Wei Xiaobei did not show the strength of more than one Roman reserve.
After the battle, these ancient Roman soldiers did not say much, but took away the more valuable things from the Carthage soldiers as loot, and then gathered together to form a team and move on.
Wei Xiaobei Station reached the last position in the queue, with an adult soldier on the left and a young soldier on the right.
In fact, this division of Roman soldiers has a very strong practical effect.
In ancient Roman times, citizens who owned property were ranked according to the amount of property, which became the standard of service.
They began their military service from the age of 17 and from the beginning of their service to the end of the fourth year. They were called young soldiers and later called adult soldiers, and veterans who have served for more than eight years have accumulated corresponding assets, regardless of their body. The equipment or combat skills are also much better than those of young soldiers and adult soldiers, so they are called reserve soldiers.
From this name alone, they can see their strength.
The original poor people did not need to perform military service because they had no property, but with the continuous expansion of the Roman Empire, the number of troops required increased, and these poor people were also conscripted for service. Because of poor equipment, they were just Light infantry.
Of course, they did not act as such light infantry all their lives. As long as they have harvested enough loot and accumulated wealth, they can often survive and become reserve soldiers.
When the whole team is advancing, no one speaks, and even the pace of advancing is relatively neat, which shows that the team is well-trained.
After all, in the BC era, the army did not have much uniform training, combat skills, etc. need to be trained by themselves, so that when marching, it can be more uniform and tidy, even if it is well-trained.
This marching journey is a bit boring. After five kilometers, through the huge hollow gate, Wei Xiaobei could not help but sigh gently.
Outside the city is an immense plain. A few kilometers away from the gate, the ancient Roman squares are neatly arranged.
Behind Wei Xiaobei, a team of ancient Roman soldiers is emerging from more than a dozen gates that are more than ten meters high and more than twenty meters wide, converging towards the plain.
Wei Xiaobei's team of ancient Roman soldiers was unremarkable at all, just like a drop of water, and immediately merged into the sea.
Before waiting for their team of soldiers to approach, an ancient Roman light cavalry holding an eagle flag rushed over and shouted: "You come with me."
"Yes! Sir!"
The 100-person captain who led the team did not hesitate, and led his own group of soldiers behind the eagle flag cavalry and ran towards a square formation that had not yet been fully formed.
Wei Xiaobei mixed in this group of soldiers, it is naturally impossible to mess up, but his eyes hidden behind the face shield looked around quickly.
Precision Calculation started!
In a flash, Wei Xiaobei reached a conclusion.
Here, there are more than 400 people in each square.
And Wei Xiaobei saw more than thirty-two squares at this time.
That is to say, the number of ancient Roman soldiers here has exceeded 12,000.
According to Wei Xiaobei, the basic unit of battle in ancient Rome was the Hundreds. Every two Hundreds was a squadron. In actual combat, every three squadrons formed a large squadron.
And each legion has 1200 light infantry, 1200 spearmen (youth soldiers), 1200 main soldiers (adult soldiers), 600 reserve soldiers and 300 cavalry, a total of 4500 people.
In addition, in actual combat, each legion will also be equipped with some auxiliary arms.
Wei Xiaobei's eyes fell on a square not far away.
This phalanx is completely different from other phalanxes composed of soldiers. It consists of some chariots. These chariots are towed by four horses, with half-meter spikes on the sides of the wheels, standing on the chariot There were three soldiers, one was driving, and the other two were armed with spears and javelins.
There are also eight cavalry phalanxes. Each cavalry phalanx has more than two hundred cavalry, but it is also constantly increasing.
So, on the plains, at least two regular Roman legions had already gathered.
But looking at the ancient Roman soldiers pouring out of the gate behind him, there are more than two regular legions of ancient Roman soldiers who want to gather.
At the front of all the phalanx, there is a white chariot, standing on the chariot is a giant man more than three meters tall, wearing a white robe with a Greek style on the outside Wearing a bronze half-body armor, holding a golden shield in his left hand, and a huge mace in his right hand.
Behind him stood a herald with a huge golden horn.
There is no doubt that this giant man should be the commander of the ancient Roman army.
Is it Sipaia? Or Quintus Fabian?
Wei Xiaobei had some information immediately appearing in his mind. Looking at this scene, it should be during the Second Punic War between Ancient Rome and Carthage, and during the Second Punic War, Ancient Rome The two most famous commanders on one side are these two.
Quentus Fabian was the then Roman consul. At the same time, when Carthage commander Hannibal attacked ancient Rome, he adopted the famous procrastination tactics, and finally saved ancient Rome, and obtained the procrastinator , This honorary title.
The Great Sipiah is known as the Great Sipiah to conquer Africa. It defeated Hannibal in the battle of Zama, and this battle is the last battle of Carthage Commander Hannibal.
Thinking of this, Wei Xiaobei looked away.
An army is also stationed more than five kilometers in front of the ancient Roman phalanx.
Because the distance is too far, even Wei Xiaobei's super strong vision can only see some blurry human figures.
The only thing you can see clearly is the War Elephant square matrix of more than thirty elephants.
To be honest, Wei Xiaobei first saw an elephant with a height of more than ten meters in body type!
They are covered with a thick layer of chain mail, and the hem drops to the elephant ’s legs and knees. The elephant ’s head is wearing a semi-hollow helmet. There is a small loft on back, where five ancient Roman soldiers sit. One is to control the hand, and the remaining four people are adult soldiers with long spears and javelins, and even a sharp tip on the tip of the elephant's nose.
It can be imagined what kind of Terror scene will be when such a War Elephant starts to charge.
Fortunately, there are not many such War Elephant square matrices. There are only four in the past.
In addition to these War Elephant squares, the remaining Carthage squares are no fewer than the ancient Roman side.
Compared with the ancient Roman side, the Carthaginian phalanx seems to be less, and there seem to be several phalanxes.
Well, Wei Xiaobei has a little understanding of this kind of slinger.
Carthage was well-developed in commerce and hired many mercenaries during the war, and these catapults should have originated from Parma.
The slingers are not as useless as they are written in the novels. It is said that at a distance of 30 meters, these Parma slingers can do everything. The fist-sized stones hit the person after the slinging rope accelerates, even Wearing armor can cause bones to be broken. (To be continued.)
