Chapter 1074: The Powerlessness of the Church Army
"What a fierce fight!"
Li Que stood on the city wall of Taixifeng and mocked the two sides fighting on the battlefield unscrupulously.
He had just arrived when the Parthian Knights were destroyed, and his fear of the Tenth Knight reached an unprecedented level.
That was a miracle army, and they died in the battle. Even Li Que, who was fearless, felt a sense of crisis for the first time.
"Let's go, Lao Li, we have a lot of tasks to do!" Guo Si called out.
The Yulin Army is too disgusting and impossible to defeat, so the Tenth Knight Legion is a good opponent for them.
Although the other side killed a miracle legion, Li Que and his men still did not feel any fear.
They really wanted to go down and join in this fierce battle, but unfortunately, they still had military orders and other tasks.
Vogels V was a ruthless character. When he realized that the situation was hopeless, he followed the original plan and directly had someone hand over the letter of vassalage to the Han Dynasty.
By the way, he directly turned off the defensive secret technique, opened the city gate, and directly exposed the defenseless Parthian Kingdom.
Overt conspiracy, naked overt conspiracy.
Parthia directly threw a piece of fat meat in front of the two hungry wolves, Rome and the Han Dynasty. There was no need for provocation at all. The two sides naturally stood on opposite sides.
The other two border dukes, constrained by Rome's internal political problems, did not attempt to enter Ctesiphon directly.
The main force of Parthia was outside, so it would be meaningless for them to plunder Ctesiphon at this time.
The benefits gained from this war were not for one person, but for the entire Roman Empire. Even Severus had to divide the benefits fairly and justly.
Anyone who gets involved will be stared at closely.
At that time, under the pressure of the Roman Senate, everything they got would have to be given up, and they might not even be able to keep their own share.
Asking subordinates to give up the benefits they have already obtained is almost like cutting off one's own path to retreat.
It would be better to give up directly, lead the troops to garrison on your side, and wait for Severus to decide the outcome.
So they simply stood by and watched, starting to slack off and waiting for the final result. At their point, the most important thing is not to make mistakes.
As long as they don't make mistakes, they can't lose.
As for the church barbarians who blocked the Han Dynasty, if they really had this ability, then Rome needed to think carefully about how to get along with the barbarians.
The five church legions of the Royal Guards were completely defeated with almost no effort when facing the Han army led by the Yulin Army and the Divine Iron Cavalry.
However, the Yulin Army and the Divine Iron Cavalry did not stay for too long. After tearing open two holes, they took the letters and maps sent by Vogelges V and headed straight for the treasury of Ctesiphon.
Ctesiphon was the essence of the entire Parthian Empire, and the treasury was the essence of Ctesiphon, accounting for almost one-third of Ctesiphon's wealth.
Their job is to determine its authenticity and then ensure that wealth is lost in the chaos.
Due to over-reliance on the secret art of light and shadow, and the fact that Parthia attracted too much firepower from the front, Rome did not notice that the Imperial Guards and the Divine Cavalry had already entered Ctesiphon.
Guo Hao used the sunlight from the sky to distort the light and shadow of the two legions. It was very rough and did not have the complete invisibility effect of the Fifth Skylark.
But after the two legions strengthened the effect with their will, the flying bricks were able to accomplish this effect.
So according to Roman intelligence, the Han army was beating the church barbarians.
Beating in every sense of the word.
Frederick gritted his teeth and endured the tremendous pressure.
They were no match at all. This was the conclusion Frederick came to after the two sides had fought for less than a quarter of an hour.
The two enemy legions easily tore through their defenses and then fled away.
If these two legions launched a surprise attack from the rear, their formation would be completely torn apart, but fortunately the other side left.
Frederick didn't know where the other person had gone, nor did he want to know, or he simply didn't have the energy to know.
He was under tremendous pressure at the moment. The opponent's commander had completely anticipated his every order, and the situation was completely under the control of the opponent.
"Order the angel army to take off and suppress both wings. Let all guardians take action and launch a suppressive attack with the army!"
Frederick took a deep breath and was the first to reveal their cards.
A large number of guardians and a legion of angels that can float in the air for a short period of time.
The double attack was launched instantly from the sky and the ground, instantly making the Han soldiers on the front line at a loss. They could only retreat step by step to protect themselves, and were instantly counterattacked by the army of the church.
"Order the Xiandeng Death Squad, Shesheng Battalion, and Changshui Battalion to take action and defeat them all!" Yue Fei raised a disdainful smile at the corner of his mouth.
As a captive and tamed Iron Pagoda, he naturally knew about the Roman legion of angels that could float in the air.
Therefore, he specifically increased the intensity of the attack in three directions, forcing the opponent to reveal their trump cards to rescue the situation, and Frederick's command was exactly what he wanted.
The long-range elite troops he deployed in these three directions in advance will bring a big surprise to Frederick.
After receiving the order, Ju Yi silently mobilized the power of the military soul. The opponent's strength was not weak.
If you want to kill with one blow, you must use your real skills.
"Physical Arrows! Three consecutive hits! Ready! Shoot!"
The blood-red light fell on the powerful crossbows of the first-line soldiers. Following Ju Yi's order, three physical arrows carrying blood instantly cut through the sky.
The angel warriors who were originally half-diving instantly felt the threat of death.
The feeling of being locked in lingered in their hearts, but before they could make any effective resistance, the bloody glow had already arrived.
"Qi, this rogue army is disgusting!" Ju Yi spat with disdain. The three rounds of arrow rain did not kill all the angel warriors, at most less than half of them.
Although every remaining one was injured, Ju Yi knew what the Angel Legion was like. It was a disgusting legion that could all be pulled back as long as they were not dead.
It is as disgusting as the guard corps beside them - Gao Lan's super heavy infantry, but the super heavy infantry is obviously more disgusting. The will retrieval and resurrection can perfectly restrain the super burst of Xiandeng to some extent.
If it were any other legion of the Imperial Guard, as long as they were not the Undead Guards, Ju Yi's three consecutive shots would definitely make the enemy lose their combat capability.
As a result, except for those who were shot to death directly, after the angel legion fell to the ground, there was a flash of light, and all the seriously injured soldiers stood up.
"What a troublesome legion!" Yue Fei felt the situation was a bit tricky as he looked at the angel warriors that had fallen to the ground.
He deliberately set a trap in order to take out all these guys in one go.
When fighting in a team, kill the nurse first. This kind of thing is almost an iron rule.
He expected that the Shesheng Camp and the Changshui Camp would not achieve much since they did not fight with all their strength. However, he did not expect that the first batch of assassins would not be able to succeed completely.
Unfortunately, it wasn't cut to death, which made things a bit tricky.
But it's just tricky!
Yue Fei shook his head. He didn’t know why this kind of legion was not placed on the front battlefield. Its strategic value was definitely not inferior to that of the Military Soul Legion.
Putting them in a place like this is clearly a way to send them to their deaths!
"The Beiwei Army advances!" Yue Fei did not intend to delve into the story behind this. Killing the people in front of him was what he had to do now.
"These angel soldiers don't seem to be human?" Li Ru kept looking at the angel warriors on the field.
"The situation is very complicated, but it should still be based on people!" Tian Feng nodded, then shook his head.
"I remember there is something similar in the secret technique used for transactions in Great Britain?" Ju Su said after a moment of hesitation.
"Are you talking about the heroic spirit?" Tian Feng was stunned for a moment, then realized what Ju Su said.
"Something similar to the Taoist puppet, the Yellow Turban Warrior?" Li Ru had more information and thought of another kind of thing, Zhang Jue's Yellow Turban Warrior.
They all seem to be similar things, using faith, internal energy and other things to gather together, and then projected onto selected people, achieving an effect of turning the virtual into the real.
In other words, it is the fundamental logic of the imperial will.
"No wonder Rome let these church barbarians come here to die, that's why!" Shen Pei sorted out the clues.
Just as the Han Dynasty wanted to kill the Yellow Turbans, Rome now wants to kill the Church.
At most, the church did not openly oppose it, so Rome wanted to kill someone with a borrowed knife and squeeze out the last value of the church.
"General Dian, please run and shoot this letter to the other party!" Li Ru wrote a letter quickly and handed it to Dian Wei who was serving as his bodyguard.
Dian Wei also wanted to kill, kill, kill, but unfortunately there was no suitable legion for him to lead. In this kind of battlefield, Pojie was just an assault vanguard. In the end, he simply chose to be a guard, which was considered a return to his old job.
Frederick was almost going crazy. After revealing their cards, they lost even faster. The opponent had deployed elite troops to target them in advance, directly blocking the Angel Legion's advantage in the air.
Originally, relying on the advantage of the Angel Legion's ability to float in the air for a short period of time, they were able to suppress the opponent locally.
But when a wave of blood-red arrows appeared, their last bit of advantage was torn into pieces.
Frederick was in despair as the opponent did not display any extraordinary power.
They were not so strong that they could not be defeated directly, but it seemed that they had the situation under control. It felt as if the opponent's hand had grasped their necks and they could be strangled to death with just a little force.
The only reason they haven't been pushed off the cliff is because the other party still has plans.
Sadly, they can only watch themselves sliding towards the abyss bit by bit without being able to do anything.
They didn't have any solution.
The commander is no match, the overall strength of the army is no match, the hard power of the legion is no match...
Even if they were just individuals, they would not be able to defeat him.
On the ground, Lu Bu, who was originally advancing triumphantly with the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry, was sniped by the archangel.
"Kill!" Lu Bu, who had not yet been completely suppressed into a super soldier, displayed his strength wantonly.
Wherever the Fang Tian Hua Ji passed, people and horses fell to the ground, and no one could match it.
The Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry behind him were also inspired by Lu Bu's divine power and their morale was boosted. They were about to tear a big hole in the battle line.
Of course Michael couldn't just sit there and watch, he picked up the sword and rushed towards Lu Bu, at least to stop Lu Bu's advance, otherwise the army would be overthrown, even if he was an archangel and the vice-lord of heaven he would be powerless to save the situation.
"Dang!" Michael blocked Lu Bu's Fang Tian Hua Ji.
"Oh? Finally, something interesting has come!" A hint of excitement flashed in Lu Bu's eyes. Killing soldiers was boring to him. It was more interesting to kill masters.
"Foolish mortal! Prepare for judgment!" Michael snorted coldly and took the initiative to attack Lu Bu.
"Hahaha, good job!" Lu Bu laughed, holding the Fang Tian Huaji in both hands, and lightly knocked, turned and stabbed it, leaving a hole directly on Michael's armor.
Michael was stunned, then he picked up the two-handed sword unwillingly and attacked Lu Bu again.
“Bang!”
Lu Bu wielded his Fang Tian Hua Ji and knocked Michael's sword off balance. The power from the clanging of metal made Michael break out in a cold sweat.
After three moves, Michael was still able to maintain his offensive with his momentary bravery.
But after three moves, Michael no longer had the strength to fight back, and Lu Bu firmly suppressed Michael.
Even though the holy light on Michael's body flashed again and again, and even broke through its normal limits, he was still firmly blocked in place by Lu Bu, with no power to fight back at all.
"Gabriel, help me!" After thirty moves, Michael shouted for help. He felt that if he continued to hold on, he might really die here today.
But just as he took the initiative to block Lu Bu, he had no way to retreat. Once he retreated, this front line would be torn apart by Lu Bu with the winning advantage.
He could clearly feel that his army was being suppressed by the enemy. If they were torn into a big hole by the enemy, defeat would be imminent.
So they have to hold on, even if it means outnumbering them.
Gabriel's face was solemn. Michael, as the chief warrior beside the Lord and the leader of the angel army, would actually take the initiative to ask for help.
In his memory, this situation only happened when he faced Lucifer.
"Hahahaha, come again, come again!" Lu Bu was not surprised at Gabriel joining the battlefield. When had he, Lu Bu, ever fought one-on-one with others on the battlefield.
Wasn't he beaten up by two people? It was no big deal.
"Not bad, not bad. You're as strong as Guan Yu and Zhang Fei back then!" Lu Bu laughed and still had the energy to comment on Michael and Gabriel.
Lu Bu's ease made the two angels look pale, but they had no other options. The opponent was too strong, and they were no match for him in a two-on-one situation. How could they survive?
"Raphael and Uriel, come and join forces to kill this beast!" Michael's old illness came back.
If he were a normal Roman commander, he would have admitted that he was inferior to his opponent at this point, and then just tried his best to hold Lu Bu back.
But the angel Michael was too embarrassed to do that. Since he had already called for help, he might as well call for two more to kill Lu Bu directly or force him to retreat.
Anyway, we can't let Lu Bu continue to be so arrogant.
"Hahaha, come on!" Lu Bu laughed wildly as he greeted the four archangels, his face filled with excitement.
