These people are similar to the private soldiers of the big man's family.
Armed with some strong servants as the cadres, and then their slaves and debtors are incorporated into it, most of them have not been trained at all, and they don't know how to cooperate.
It is a typical patchwork, and its combat power is weak, so it can be used to defend the city.
Of course, it can also be used to fight against the wind and strengthen the reputation.
This is the case now, and the Roman army thinks it has a certain chance of winning.
A main joint army of more than [-] people, coupled with a [-] auxiliary defense army, to deal with the rebel army composed of mud legs, simply don't think about it.
However, the number of cavalry equipped with a legion is only ten teams, one team has 32 people, and there are more than 300 cavalry in total.
The combined legion is about [-] in total.
These more than 600 cavalry were holding cavalry lances in one hand and small bucklers in the other.
This kind of small round shield is two sizes smaller than the infantry's round shield. It is light and convenient to hold in the hand, but it is not very strong.
"kill!"
Joel Bolin directly sent a confidant to lead the [-] riders towards Xu Ding's army formation.
The cavalry of the non-cavalry legion of the Roman army is generally not very effective in combat.
Because they are only responsible for sending orders and letters to the infantry regiment and detecting the enemy's situation.
Fighting is generally the main job of the infantry in the army.
You must know that the structure of the Roman army is a bit similar to that of the Western Han or Qin dynasties in China.
That is, the soldiers are all conscripts, and they must bring their own equipment, whether it is armor, weapons, or horses.
Therefore, those who can become cavalrymen are relatively well-off and wealthy.
What kind of arms a soldier wants to be is also determined according to his wealth.
So in fact, the combat effectiveness of the Roman Legion is not as strong as the legend.
As for the formation that they are proud of, their performance in the major battles is not as amazing as what later generations boasted.
Of course, this will be discussed later, so I won’t show it at this time.
Now six hundred riders rushed towards the rebel army.
Xu Ding didn't rush out to intercept with his few cavalry because he sneered.
The commander-in-chief of the other party is a pig-headed man, he used cavalry to charge the battle as soon as he came up, and it was only this little, so he really didn't take himself seriously.
I really thought that the 6000 troops of the rebel army were vegetarians.
It is also his consideration that there will be no large-scale military expansion after the promise.
One is that he has not yet found a fixed site. At this time, the more people there are, the more disadvantageous it will be, because this will weaken his mobility in guerrilla sports.
Second, his backbone subordinates have not been trained well, and the number of troops has expanded, which is not conducive to command.
There is no time to train during the third march, and the expansion of the army will only be a bloated fat man, but the real combat effectiveness is not strong.
Soldiers are not expensive.
A soldier with faith and faith is a good soldier.
Blind expansion at this time is definitely a disaster.
So he went all the way eastward and expanded to 6000 people, which is considered a lot by economics.
"Shield soldiers! The sword soldiers move on both wings, the spearmen engage in battle, and the archers cover!" Xu Ding also faced the Roman army head-on for the first time. Although the opponent's consul was a little confused and arrogant, Xu Ding still commanded seriously and calmly.
Following his order, Viratoli and Mundu each took a thousand swordsmen and shield soldiers to move to the two wings in front of the formation, exposing the spearmen behind them.
At the same time, they sprinkled caltrops on the ground they left.
A kind of four spikes, no matter how you throw it, there will be three corners standing up, and a black bump with the thorns facing upwards.
Viratoli, Mengdu and the others had no idea what this thing was.
It was promised to be hastily made in Alexandria.
It hasn't been used officially in the West yet, so no one knows whether this thing works or not.
However, it was still sprinkled on the ground according to the agreed requirements.
The horses rushed up, and the spearmen lost their shields and swords to stand in front of them, and suddenly became tense.
Although the [-] war horses are not many, they are still on a large scale, and they are still very powerful as they rush forward rumblingly.
The ground was shaking, and many people's hands holding the guns began to sweat, and they couldn't hold them.
In the end, it is a unit that has not undergone hard combat and has not been trained in an organized way.
Xu Ding found this problem, and immediately shouted: "Shop around, hold on to me, if you spearmen give up at this time, I will kill you, only a few hundred riders, if you can't stand it, my army will be finished. Hold on to me!"
Half of his face turned red when he shopped around. He was the one who took care of the spearmen for training. As one of the five centurions in the past, and now the commander of a thousand, his pressure is also increasing.
Standing in front with a gun in hand, he shouted: "Don't be afraid of anyone, I'll be the first to die. In the northern battlefield, I didn't even die at the hands of Roman bastards. I don't even want my life in Macedonia. "
Taking the lead, following the voice of shoppers, the spearmen suddenly changed, and they all looked up to him.
"Woooooooo..."
The six hundred Roman cavalry cheered and shouted with excitement.
Especially when I saw the shield soldiers and sword soldiers of the rebel army retreat to the two wings, opening the middle for myself to kill myself, I was really overjoyed.
The smile on his face was even brighter.
Even Joel Bolin and the others behind were slightly stunned, and then smiled one by one.
"Hahaha, the rebels are done. I originally thought that Alexander and I Qin would know the art of war and train the rebels in batches into cavalry, archers, swordsmen, shield soldiers, and spearmen.
Now it seems that it’s just a show, and it’s okay to scare those softies. Facing my regular Roman army, it immediately exposed their cowardly, bullying nature! "
"Yes, Alexander is nothing but a fool, a stupid fool!"
But just when they were laughing unscrupulously, the cavalry horses on their side who rushed forward suddenly neighed one after another, and then raised their front hooves or raised their hind hooves violently, throwing the cavalry off their backs. .
Or people and horses fall down.
