Chapter 120: Victory

?? Armor collided violently, and the battlefield was noisy.

"Two more phalanxes, quick. Come up and fill in the gaps! "The phalanx commander who spoke the Greek of the northern mountains, Damm was hoarse. His voice was slightly hoarse due to the continuous issuance of instructions.

"Steady, steady. Put! Throw again, prepare, put! ~Draw your sword. "The Roman centurion's command was short and powerful, this time in Latin.

The sun is burning fiercely all the time. Fierce battles are raging on the plains. Three Roman legions entered the battle, and nearly four legions from the Macedonian side joined the battle. At this time, it could only be distinguished that the Red Flag Army and the Black Flag Army were confronted, and the two fronts were already intertwined and entangled together. The long beacon line is not on the edge, and the battlefield with hundreds of thousands of people looks magnificent. The infantry was stuck on all fronts, and it was difficult to distinguish between victory and defeat.

Only the cavalry galloped, one moment supporting the left, the other covering the center, and then grouping to launch a surprise. Because the distance between the two armies was too tight, so as not to be injured by mistake. The engineers had already put down their catapult machinery and participated in white-knuckle combat with knives. The archers were careful not to release a row of arrows, but to aim before decisively shooting at the enemy to support their allies at close range.

Now, the place where the commanders of the two armies, Podare Rios and Flavis, met each other, became the central part of the battle. A large battlefield around them revolves around here. Interestingly, after attempting a frontal assault that could not be broken, both generals attempted lateral movements to flank them. At this time, if one side kills the opposing general first, it is very likely to play a decisive role in an instant.

The supreme military governor of Macedonia, Podarerios, personally led the charge, leading the cavalry and guards all the way to the left. Flavis, the leader of the Roman Julius family, moved to the right. The noble qualities of the two pioneers inspired the officers and men of the whole army. The cavalry quickened their horses, and many elite infantry could not keep up. So they stopped the infantry on the opposite side to create a favorable opportunity for the cavalry. Coming to a gap in the handover of the Macedonian left flank, an open field was opened by the scuffle. So the elite cavalry of the two sides fought a big battle.

The infantry that came with them were two elite Roman garrisons, a hidden raid regiment. The Macedonian infantry had three squadrons of light infantry and the Divine Machine Battalion of Podare Ríos. At this time, the Macedonian cavalry still had an advantage, but the infantry was basically lightly armed and at a disadvantage. The cavalry lined up to hedge, and after three rounds entered the melee. The man on the saddle fights the man, and the horse stumbles under the saddle.

Many knights simply threw away their rifles and drew their swords in hand-to-hand combat. The elite Roman cavalry was armed with a long Latin shield and dressed in thick armor. The Macedonian cavalry and royal cavalry did not have shields, but they wore fine armor and armed with sharp spears, and focused on impact for attack and defense. The cavalry fights were particularly exciting, with their spears rounded and stabbing to block.

The elite Roman garrison rushed to help, and the corresponding Macedonian light infantry, although unable to intercept it head-on, ran close to the front and desperately threw javelins. The soldiers of the garrison, who were fired from the flank, had to stop and turn to deal with this side first. Known for their melee combat capabilities, the Elite Guard also has a long-handed attack power, and its heavy javelins are more damaging. A round of javelins came at him, causing a great impact and causing a lot of light infantry to fall. Another Macedonian javelin-arming man also came to the rescue, and the infantry fought the strong enemy.

The Roman Divine Raid Regiment is a small assault force, somewhat similar to the Macedonian Divine Machine Battalion, and belongs to the special forces. However, they are particularly good at stealth and surprise attacks. An expert with short knives and no long-handed attack ability. A black cape, armor, and a mask. Many of the soldiers were gladiators who came directly from the Colosseum.

Podarre Ríos's Divine Machine Battalion ran all the way to cover the general, and their physical strength was excellent. The Shenyin Raid Group also arrived quickly, and everyone just warmed up. The soldiers of the Shenji Battalion are all marksmen, and they are good at javelins, bows and arrows. They find a good position to shoot at the enemy cavalry, and the arrows are not missed, and they do not hurt their teammates. Seeing this, the infantry of the Roman raiding regiment abandoned their plan to outflank the cavalry and pounced directly on this side. The reconnaissance squads of the two sides fought in secret for many days, and finally confronted each other head-on.

Without hesitation, the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion turned their attack on these mysterious guys wearing masks. The soldiers of the assault regiment are good and move quickly. The Macedonian archers were also very shrewd, and when they noticed that the enemy's cuirass was hard, they shot into the legs, and succeeded in placing half of the soldiers of the assault regiment. Then the swords were added. The fighters of the Shenji Battalion have comprehensive combat capabilities and excellent fighting skills. The opponents are just as powerful, and the armor is even better. When the spearheads meet, they can only fight each other against each other.

Looking at the battlefield, the armies of both sides were evenly matched and reached a stalemate. At this moment, the outcome of the main cavalry force has become a key weight in the balance of victory. Concentrated here were the cavalry of Podare Ríos' friends, the Macedonian royal cavalry, and the Praetorian Guard; Rome was the Roman elite general's guard, legionary cavalry, Roman heavy cavalry. Initiate a head-on hedge against each other, then separate and do another shock.

The Roman legionary cavalry and heavy cavalry were the first to intertwine with the Macedonian royal cavalry and the cavalry of the allies. The cavalry of the two armies formed a group, and a fierce white-knuckle battle ensued. The squadron that had been added to the rear was wrapped in the outer layer, and the Macedonian cavalry finally held a strong position. After all, in the case of similar quality, there are more quantities than the enemy. However, Flavies saw an opportunity, and he didn't hesitate to give it a go.

In the era of cold weapons, the number of cavalry battles was a major factor, and the impact power was a more important factor in victory. Even if you have a numerical advantage, you will be defeated if you are surrounded or hit from behind. Now the situation is like this, the generals of both armies understand it very well, so they do not leave such a chance for the opponent. Podarerios moved around with his guards and Praetorian Guards, trying to crush the enemy with a single blow. Flavies thought the same thing.

Suddenly, a Roman garrison headed straight for Podare Rios. The Macedonian generals had no choice but to rush head-on to the infantry phalanx. It turned out that the infantry next to it was suppressed by the Roman heavy infantry, and one of the garrisons was freed up to help here. Flavis took advantage of this opportunity to quickly ride around behind the battlering cavalry, intending to charge the main Macedonian cavalry on his back. The victory of Rome was a matter of thought. If he rushes to Podare Ríos, then the result will be rewritten.

Podarre Ríos' guards and praetorian cavalry rushed into the phalanx of the elite Roman garrison, squeezing the phalanx into disarray, but the Roman infantry did not break up and continued to fight. Some of the cavalry had already been cut off, and the cavalry had no advantage against the infantry standing face to face. Podare Rios thought to himself: just bet on this, if a troop of cavalry rushes at us, there is no way to do it.

Fortunately, the Shenji Battalion won the victory over the raiding group and rushed to assist in the battle. They surrounded and joined the battle directly, and this time the Roman garrison could not bear it. Neatly picking up the enemy infantry, Podare Rios took his right-hand men, elite cavalry, and Shenji battalion to slaughter the enemy cavalry. Flavies chose the wrong direction of his desperate bet, and it was the Macedonian king's friendly cavalry behind the palace, which basically withstood the onslaught of the elite Roman cavalry.

Looking at the menacing Podare Rios returning with cavalry, it is obvious that the young general has the key to the decisive victory.
