Chapter 119: Sharp-armored male soldiers

?? There are more than 10,000 soldiers, boundless; There were more than 100,000 soldiers, tearing the ground to the sky. The open plains are lined with the world's most elite warriors in the West, majestic and majestic.

The scorching sun shone on the resolute and brave faces, and the masculinity made the ghosts tremble. The able-bodied men from the Apennines and Macedonia are about to have a bloody contest here. On the one hand, it is incumbent on him to defend his family and country, and on the other hand, he is to show his true colors as a man by making meritorious deeds, so it is his duty to bring the light of the Greek world to the barbaric and dark places.

On the battlefield, the soldiers shouted like thunder, one after another. The commanders of the two armies rode their horses in front of the battle with ease, and their morale-boosting rhetoric was exciting, and their speeches were crisp and high-pitched.

"Macedonians, attention! Today we are going to do something earth-shattering, that is, to completely defeat the Roman army and gain dominance over all of Rome.

This battle is a celebration of victory, and if we win here, think about what treasures we will loot! Far more than you can imagine! We can take cities from our enemies, take their riches, destroy their holy places, and rob their women. If you can, then plunder and prey are waiting for you ahead! The soldiers let out a wolf-like howl, and they couldn't wait to get their treasure.

Podarre Rios changed his words and said sternly:

"But that has to be won first - that's your job! Win here and you'll be able to claim your prize! Find a way to break through, and it will all be yours! Look there, its defenders are here, not hiding behind the walls. This is the last obstacle in our way to the city gates!

Destroy them.

Do you have what it takes to do this? Do you have enough manhood to win this battle? Can you rise to the challenge? Well, I trust you as much as you trust me.

I brought with me a quarter of the elite army of the kingdom of Macedonia, and the other side was the main army of Rome that was the best at fighting. The final outcome of the clash between two powerful armies will determine the fate of both countries! It's time for the Macedonians and the Romans to make a break. Defeat them, and we will destroy the main power of Rome. After that, there is only a smooth road ahead.

You are people who love honor and fighters who are hungry for victory. I'm sure the battle will be over before nightfall. Today will pass smoothly and will be full of difficulties, and it will all depend on our own performance, brave sons of Greece! Fight valiantly! Win the favor of the gods!

When this battle is over, the world will remember each and every one of you by name. Because

Today will be a day that will forever be recorded in history,

Today will be the day you will proudly tell your children that you fought side by side with your brethren and won a great victory!

Today will be remembered for a long time, and a hundred years from now will still speak of today: the war between great peoples. This is the content of the ancient epics, and now we have to compose our own myths and become heroes! Here we make history! "Podare Ríos.

The soldiers rejoiced.

At the same time, the opponent's position was also lively, clapping and shouting slogans, "Rome ~ Rome ~ Rome......

"Today is a good day for the Romans to fight. And when you're determined to do your duty, every day is a good day. Hold on to the shield! Hold on to the spear! Sharpen your sword! This is the fateful day where the fate of countless people will be decided.

You all know! I am a true traditional Roman. I believe in discipline, dignity and duty. I firmly believe that the destiny of Rome is to rule the world. I also believe in our own destiny, and that is here, a new beginning!

We are the strongest line of defense in the capital, and Arettien belongs to us, and we cannot let it fall into the night forever! We are here to resist the Macedonian conquerors! If today we fail, our names will be completely forgotten, and our women and children will be sold into slavery ... It's all over! Therefore, it is necessary to block the enemy and defeat them. If we let them through, the city will fall. Our compatriots will be slaughtered, sold into slavery, and forced to grovel to the cruel conquerors.

We will never allow that to happen!

Let us shout: This is the end of it, don't think about moving forward!

This is the end of the enemy's path. Do not have mercy and shout our slogan: Rome! Rome and revenge!

Finally, the warriors of the Eagle Banner Legion must remember that you are fighting for the Eagle Banner and for the glory of Rome. Roman honor above all else! ”

Both sides quieted down, and the solemn expressions on people's faces returned. The battle sequence is orderly, and the two generals playing against each other seem to be in the next game of chess, one move at a time, attacking with defense, defense can be turned to attack, and the combination of virtual and real in the temptation. The troops of both sides gradually entered the battle in contact. This is often the case with master moves, which is unpredictable. Sometimes the offensive is like a rainbow, and its speed is like the wind; Sometimes it is silent and motionless. The rhythm is unpredictable, and before people have time to react, the battle burns like a flame.

At the beginning of the march, the Roman army advanced in three long phalanxes, and Macedonia in two long columns. The long-range fire strike began, and the heavy catapult threw projectiles with flames, and the fire shells bloomed wantonly through the crowd like unbridled wild horses, causing area damage. Therefore, the two armies stretched the formation and divided it into three routes: left, center, and right, so as to reduce the secondary damage of artillery to depth.

Then, the archers fired their arrows in unison. The rain of arrows "swished" in an arc, washing each other's walls. But for today's warriors, long-range arrows are nothing more than tickling. Because both sides of the battle are heavily armored soldiers with heavy armor, they have good resistance to bows and arrows.

The main forces of the two armies were always approaching, and no amount of attack could stop their advance. It really deserves to be the elite of the elite, and even the formation remains intact without being affected at all.

The first to come into contact were the infantry on the left flank, with Roman heavy infantry throwing javelins and elite Macedonian phalanx advancing briskly in an attempt to break through the enemy line with strong propulsion. The Roman garrison formed a tortoiseshell bomb to break through in reverse, but their opponent was the Macedonian royal pikemen of equal strength, with a strong wall of guns, and the powerful stabbing made it difficult for the garrison to get up.

The middle lane is also played, and only the right side is still watching. They are all excellent fighters, and they try to kill each attack. People kept falling, and the battle had just entered the contact temptation, and it became extremely fierce.

Flavies ordered the Janissaries on the second line to divide into two large regiments of 1,000 men on the left and right to launch a surprise attack, stretching the front and outflanking the Macedonian phalanx positions.

Podarerios had already sent light cavalry to try to storm the flanks of the garrison, and the swiftness with which he used his troops was evident. He himself gathered elite cavalry in an attempt to fight the Roman cavalry.

The battle entered a white heat, and the rear troops were transferred to the front line, and the battle was concentrated on the left and right ends of the center.
