It didn't take long for most of his men to be killed and wounded, leaving Comus's rear squad at the front, but he was stunned when he looked at the enemy opposite him, and it was the white-hated officer he had thrown with his spear.

At this time, the enemy had a large hole in his breastplate in his right shoulder, still oozing blood, and he lowered his right hand and held a shield in his left hand, glaring at Comus.

Comus didn't have a spear, so he drew the saber at his waist to fight, more than a meter long with a sword is good for slashing, but the narrow space and the opponent's well-defended long shield are not conducive to the power of his sword, and he is experienced in taking advantage of the difference in strength to keep hitting the opponent's long shield.

The enemy, who was already seriously wounded, obviously could not withstand such a blow, and his face showed a painful expression, and finally fell to his knees because he was not exhausted.

Comus stepped forward again, condescendingly, swinging his sword and slashing, but suddenly felt a sharp pain in his left leg, and saw a short sword stabbing him in the calf.

It turned out that although the enemy was seriously wounded in the right shoulder, he still held the short sword in his right hand, but he hid it behind the shield, pretending to be unable to hold the weapon, and took advantage of the opportunity for Comus to relax his vigilance and hit it with one blow. Then, with a sharp pull, the sharp blade immediately severed the tendon.

Comus screamed, his forward body was unsteady on his feet, and the whole person fell forward, crushing the enemy to the ground with a shield.

The enemy grinned in the same pain, but the short sword in his right hand was still swinging, slashing the ankle of his advancing teammate at Comus's side, until the soldier behind him pierced the enemy's chest with a spear, and he spurted blood from his mouth, called "Hades", and died with a relieved expression......

……………………………………

Although the third brigade of the first legion fought bravely, the number of Roman young soldiers in front of it was more than doubled, and under their frantic attack, there were many gaps in the array of the third brigade, and the light armored soldiers in the rear did not hesitate to fill in time, bravely resisting the attack of the heavy armor Roman heavy infantry......

The battle has been raging, and the Scouts are constantly passing messages back and forth.

"Report to the corps commander, the captain of the second company of the fourth brigade is wounded!"

"Report to the corps commander, the captain of the third company of the first brigade died in battle!"

"Report, the captain of the first company of the third brigade is injured! …… The captain of the third company was killed! …… The captain of the fifth company was killed! ……”

According to the practice of the Dionian Legion, the general company commander rarely goes into battle in person, and when it is really the company commander, he also goes into battle in person, which only means that the soldiers of this company have suffered heavy casualties.

Listening to the retributions of one scout after another, Amintas's face was as dark as the sky was terribly overcast.

At this moment, another scout came galloping in, "Report to the Legion Commander, Captain of the Third Brigade Captain Hete Barus has asked you for reinforcements!" The third brigade suffered heavy casualties, and the captain had already personally gone into battle to kill! ”

"Go back and tell Heitbarus that I don't have reinforcements, and I don't want to hear him say any casualty figures, but he must give me a top up and hold off the Romans! He's dead, I'll go up! Amintath blushed and shouted.

The scout rode away.

Amintas glanced at the guards behind him and said loudly, "Let's go to the rear of the Eighth Brigade!" ”

Amintas spoke with such force that Printors opened his mouth, trying to persuade, but finally gave up.

At this time, Ryders said, "I will send the cavalry over to flank the enemy and relieve the pressure on the third battalion." ”

Amintas glanced at him, this time without refusing, and nodded.

…………………………………

Of course, the movement of the Dionian cavalry could not hide from the eyes of the Roman scouts, and now the flank of the right flank of Dionya was the area where the Romans were attacking the fastest, and where the Dionian cavalry would go, of course, could be understood by thinking about it.

Camillus immediately said to Lucius: "You immediately lead all the cavalry and three squadrons of heavy infantry to the right flank of the enemy, and after repulsing the enemy's cavalry, lead them to continue the intensified attack on the enemy's flank!" Defeat the enemy once and for all! ”

Lucius hesitated, "But your safety, father—"

"The harder your attack, the safer I am! Just go! Just go! At the urging of Camillus, Lucius led his troops away.

With only more than 1,400 light infantry left at the side of the old military officer, he summoned several allied generals and said sincerely, "Then my old man's life will be handed over to you." ”

Camillus was not only famous in Rome, but also throughout the Latin Confederation, and was highly respected by the people because it was he who led his army to repel the Celts who were ravaging the Latin region.

Several generals of the Roman allies immediately made a promise: "Rest assured, Lord Camillus, the enemy will not want to hurt you unless you step over our corpses!" ”

No sooner had they returned, and before they had set up their defenses, the lead pellets of the Dionian slingers smashed over.

The 7th Brigade of the 1st Legion, after seeing the cavalry and heavy infantry of the enemy's rear leaving, also began to attack the position where the Roman flag was erected, in an attempt to capture the opposing commander and turn the tide of the battle in one fell swoop.

…………………………………

Heavy infantry and light armor fought on the front and flanks of both sides, and cavalry and light infantry fought on the periphery...... Rome was in full-scale war with the Dionian army.

After nearly two hours of fighting, it was time for the final showdown.

The Romans had already gained the obvious upper hand, and the entire front of Dionya had been compressed into a semicircle, especially the rightmost flank of the line was crumbling, and if it weren't for the legion commander Amintas himself raising his shield and gun, and going into battle to kill the enemy, the legionary banner would have been erected behind them, and the third brigade and the light armoured soldiers would have retreated, but now they were only trying their last breath to support themselves.

The 1st Cavalry Regiment of Ryders was also struggling to hold back enemy cavalry and heavy infantry reinforcements.

Although the Roman cavalry was valiant, it was not numerous and not very lethal. However, their heavy infantry cost the Theonian cavalry a lot of casualties.

Although Ryders was heartbroken, he knew that the First Cavalry Regiment could not avoid it, otherwise although there were not many of these new forces, with their joining, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Just as Ryders was anxious to stop the onslaught of the Roman hoplites, one of the horsemen shouted "Captain, look!" ”

In the thick of dust and mist, Ryders turned his head to look south, only to see a large black shadow in the distance, rapidly approaching this direction.

Wolsey! Ladstone's spirits lifted and he shouted, "Brothers, hold on a little longer!" Our reinforcements are coming! Our reinforcements are coming!! ”

…………………………………

The first to arrive at the battlefield was more than a thousand Wolsi warriors led by Coronnas, the consul of the city of Antium, followed by a thousand Wolsi warriors of Setia. The fact that the warriors of Antium from Polyfnonam arrived earlier than the Wolsey warriors who set out from Setia, shows how strong their desire to seek revenge on the Romans was.

They rushed to the battlefield and, almost without stopping, launched a fierce attack directly on the red Roman soldiers.

The Roman cavalry was the first to be routed.

Then, three squadrons of Roman hoplites, which were being held back by the Dionian cavalry, were also attacked, and just as they turned to resist, Setia's warriors arrived and surrounded them.

The Roman hoplites were not as well equipped as the Wolsey warriors, who had only spears, shields, and helmets, but they were so small in number, and they were quickly overwhelmed by the Wolsey's crowds because they had fought the Dioonians for so long and had been physically exerted.

Just as the Wolsey troops arrived on the battlefield one after another, and the Antium warriors and Setia warriors in the vanguard continued to rush towards the Roman young soldiers who were fighting fiercely with the 3rd Dionian Brigade and the light armor soldiers, a rapid retreat horn sounded in the rear of the Roman army......

………………………………………

When Antium's warriors attacked the three Roman squadrons, Camillus received an urgent report from the scouts, and the news that "a large number of Wolsey warriors had appeared on the battlefield" made him feel like he had been dealt a heavy blow, and it took him a moment to recover.

At this time, he thought that with the large number of soldiers and good physical strength, he wanted to defeat the Dionians first, and then retreat, which was the safest, but he didn't expect the Dionians to be so difficult! The battle lasted so long that instead of repelling the Dionians, it welcomed the Volsisi......

"Blow the trumpet of retreat!" Camillus suppressed the remorse in his heart and gave the order immediately without hesitation.

"Captain Camilus, wait a little longer! We're going to be able to defeat the Ionians in no time! The adjutant hurriedly persuaded, "Wolsey has just arrived, maybe there are not many of them, and our soldiers are more than capable of holding them off-"

"Blow the trumpet and retreat!" Camillus still said in a resolute voice: "Blow the trumpet and retreat!" ”

The battle-hardened Camillus never took chances in war, and when he was defeated, he tried to save the lives of his soldiers.

The retreating trumpets sounded continuously, and the first reaction of all the Roman squadron leaders who heard the trumpets was a little incredulous, because what they saw was that the troops under their command were now in the upper hand, and some squadron leaders had already felt that the enemy on the opposite side was a little difficult to support, but out of absolute trust in the commander Camillus, they still gave orders to their soldiers to retreat.

The elderly and middle-aged soldiers in the frontal attack arrays on the left, center, and right flanks soon began to retreat, distancing themselves from the enemy on the opposite side, and then quickly and orderly turning and retreating.

Patroclus, who had already picked up his shield and spear and fought side by side with the soldiers, of course knew what the ultimate purpose of the legion commander Amyntas had asked them to quickly rush here from the place where the camp had been built, so the sudden retreat of the enemy in front of him suddenly loosened the defensive pressure of his brigade, and he breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately realized that the enemy was fleeing! Could it be that the Wolsey are coming?!
