Atabaz, who had never suffered such a heavy blow, was completely enraged, and he gave the order to charge on all fronts with great vigour, but his soldiers did not rush forward so easily, and the muddy ground became the biggest obstacle to their charge.

The longbowmen under Perris's command began to adjust nervously after the first round of three waves of arrows, and all the longbowmen grabbed an arrow from the quiver on the ground and stuck it in their waists, ready to start the second round of shooting under Perris's orders.

In the first round of three waves of arrow rain, the first wave of arrow rain caused the greatest damage to the enemy, and the lethality of the second and third waves of arrow rain was obviously not as good as the first wave of arrow rain; this is related to the enemy's awareness of prevention, after all, the enemy also has a shield in his hand.

When they raised the round shield in their hands to defend themselves, the lethality of the arrow rain was reduced, but there were still many enemies who were shot and wounded.

While the longbowmen were replenishing their arrows, the enemy seized the opportunity to charge again, and the enemy's charge was exactly what Peris was waiting for, and he drew a sharp arrow from his waist, and then commanded loudly as he found the angle:

"The second round of arrow rain, shoot!"

At the same time that the word was shouted by Perris, he shot the sharp arrow in his hand first, and his longbowmen immediately drew the arrows from their waists, and fired the first wave of arrows of the second round of arrows in a volley at the same angle.

The more they tried to speed up and rush through this short span of more than 300 meters, the easier it was to fall into the quagmire, and there were even many soldiers who fell into the muddy water because of the impact.

Before they could shorten the distance between themselves and the hill to three hundred meters, the fourth wave of arrows from the longbowmen arrived, and the warriors, who had been prepared for it, immediately raised their shields, but the shields were far less effective than they had thought.

The soldiers under the command of Atabaz once again paid a heavy price for casualties, and countless brave and skilled Essini warriors, who had not really fought the enemy, were killed by the enemy's arrows, and could never stand up again when they were planted in the muddy water.

If Atabaaz had been furious before, he was now furious, and his angry eyes were like a beast that wanted to choose and devour, and a low roar came out of his hoarse throat.

Unfortunately, his anger did not allow him to leap into the position of the Roman army at once, nor did he allow his soldiers to resist the attack of arrows, and excessive anger only swallowed up the last bit of reason in Atabaz's heart.

Completely out of his mind, Atabaz no longer paid attention to the soldiers behind him, his eyes were only on the enemy in front of him, and he desperately needed the blood of the enemy to dissolve the anger in his heart, so he rushed forward alone in desperation.

The soldiers under the command of Atabaz were all loyal warriors who had followed Atabaz for nearly ten years, and why did Atabaz lead his army to betray Plasus in the first place, and why did he defeat Francis's army, but not these warriors?

How could these soldiers who were loyal to Atabaz sit idly by and watch Atabaaz charge the enemy battle line alone, and at the moment when Atabaz charged, the soldiers behind him also followed him desperately.

The bloody charge without hesitation was shocking, but the exposed flesh and blood were the best targets for sharp arrows, and the longbowmen under the command of Peris soon began the third, fourth, and fifth rounds of shooting......

Twenty-four arrows in a quiver were enough for Peris's longbowmen to shoot eight rounds, and a rain of arrows of 30,000 arrows per round could kill at least one or two thousand of the enemy's troops, and after eight rounds of arrows, the thirty-thousand-strong enemy army was less than half!

At this time, the other two armies on the battlefield were also caught in fierce fighting, and the middle army led by Francis himself did not throw all 80,000 troops into battle at once, but first launched the first round of charge with 30,000 infantry led by Nabazani.

The battle between the two armies was confined to the middle of the two mountain formations, and the two Macedonian phalanx legions of the Roman army could be carried out in this narrow terrain, and the 80,000-strong army under the command of Francis was not so easy to carry out.

In addition, Francis did not really intend to let his cavalry charge like infantry, so he decisively sent Nabazani to lead 30,000 elite soldiers to break through the enemy's formation, and he himself led the other 50,000 troops to sit in the rear.

It was not so simple for Nabazani's 30,000-strong army to rush to the pike-phalanx of the Roman mid-road army, the longbowmen deployed on the left and right flanks of the pike-phalanx were not vegetarians, and the volley of more than 2,000 longbowmen was also an attack that could not be ignored.

From 400 meters away to the front of the pike, Nabazani's soldiers paid the price of more than 3,000 casualties, and before the official battle, the morale of Nabazani's soldiers suffered the first round of heavy losses.

When they broke through the distance of 400 meters and approached the front of the spear phalanx, they were greeted by the spear forest assault of the spear phalanx! The uniform ultra-long spear thrust made the first wave of approaching enemy soldiers immediately turn into blood gourds in front of the spear phalanx.

Such a tragic scene immediately aroused the blood in the bodies of the other barbarian warriors, who shouted the slogan of the charge, and rushed forward to launch wave after wave of charges against the pikemen phalanx of the Roman army.

Nabazzani, who did not lose his mind, also sent 10,000 warriors to divide into left and right flanks, broke through from the far left and right of the pikemen phalanx, and quickly got into a fight with the Roman soldiers covering the flanks.

The four spear phalanxes of the Cheetah Legion did not show the slightest timidity under the frantic onslaught of the enemy, and every time a wave of enemy troops rushed up, the three rows of pikemen in front would stab the super long spears in their hands and completely crush the rushing enemy troops.

Even if a pikeman was unfortunate enough to be killed by an enemy who was lucky enough to rush up, the pikemen behind him would immediately step forward to replenish it in order to maintain the stability of the entire pikemen, and from the beginning to the end, the pikemen phalanx of the Cheetah Legion did not appear to be disordered in the slightest.

Compared with the calmness of the Cheetah Legion, the performance of the Tasia Legion was much worse, and even when the enemy launched the first round of charge, the spear phalanx of the Tasia Legion was in chaos, and its own casualties were much greater than those of the Cheetah Legion.

There was also a phalanx of spears that was almost broken up by the enemy's charge, if it weren't for the two teams of Macedonian royal pikemen who rushed up in time to stabilize the formation, I'm afraid that the pike phalanx of the Tasia Legion would have been crushed by the enemy!
