"Rush~"

"Kill~"

The battle on the right side of the battlefield was extremely fierce, and the cavalry were alive and well, and the shouts of killing were breathtaking. Because now, the best of the entire battlefield is concentrated here.

The cavalry of both sides took the lead in launching a hedge, and the generals of the two armies also plunged into a cavalry duel for the first time!

With the sound of "clanging" armor colliding, swords, guns and shields, the cavalry of both sides mixed together and fought bloodily.

The Macedonian side had superior cavalry strength, and the Roman side had a higher cavalry quality. It is impossible to say which side has the more powerful cavalry. One thing is certain, however, that Aloyos was a general who used cavalry well, and he was also a good cavalry commander, and he was a good cavalryman himself.

Aloyos was the first to rush into the ranks of the Roman cavalry, wedged into the Roman cavalry formation like the sharp cavalry spear in his hand, and stood in a favorable position to attack and defend freely. And his guards and the royal cavalry desperately guarded him, and they followed him closely.

The Greek cavalry in the rear then rushed up, tearing the gap wide and repulsing the enemy.

The Roman generals, on the other hand, were themselves at the rear, conducting the so-called command and pressing. It didn't play a leading role. However, their cavalry guards are really good and strong in combat. The elite cavalry of both sides were evenly matched, and the melee was difficult to solve, and it was difficult to distinguish the winner from the loser.

The Macedonian light cavalry was quickly depleted, and it was clear that the light cavalry was no match for the heavy cavalry in close combat. The light cavalry was getting more and more at a loss, and simply turned around and withdrew from the melee, allowing the friendly heavy cavalry to continue to engage head-on. They were all experienced and experienced cavalrymen, and when they saw the situation, they withdrew and extended the distance, and then attacked the enemy from the flank. After several repeated charges, the Roman cavalry finally got tired of it, the formation became loose, and the senate general Agis Egidanus was picked under his horse by a light cavalryman Pegasus, and was either killed or wounded.

Aloyos brought heavy cavalry to put pressure from the front, surrounded the Roman cavalry guards in front and rear, and narrowed the encirclement. Seeing defeat, Gaius Maxentius, a Roman senator and general of the native defense, left his teammates behind and fled on his own. The Roman general no longer cared about winning or losing the battle, the honor of the Roman eagle banner, he just wanted to live to see the next sunrise, he ran away...

The remaining Roman hoplites were struggling and in decline. The death of the Roman commander of this battle, Rantulus Maxentius, completely broke the fighting spirit of the Roman cavalry. Determined to survive, these elite cavalry gathered as much as they could, and launched a breakthrough in the direction of the Macedonian light cavalry, moving decisively and quickly. There are those who make sacrifices, and there are those who break through and open the way. The light cavalry really couldn't stop their soldiers from pointing at each other. A small number of Roman cavalry guards broke out of the encirclement and fled.

aloyos says:

"Worthy of the battle-hardened guards!

Don't force them, let them go, we'll meet again, and we'll fight to the death head-to-head.

Now help break the enemy in the middle lane, follow me! ”

Certain superiority was also achieved on the Macedonian infantry line. The Roman infantry was good at close combat and had the opportunity to fight. The elite Roman infantry was essentially a chicken-ribbed unit, although it was called elite infantry, armed with large shields and spears, but mainly counteracted the impact of cavalry in loose formations. It was a force to resist cavalry. When they faced the overall queue onslaught of the Macedonian phalanx, they looked useless.

In the final analysis, the Macedonian phalanx infantry's four- or five-meter spears in their hands gave them a huge advantage, and the phalanx formation integrated them into a collective force.

If both sides were melee with short swords, then there was a good chance that these phalanx soldiers would not be a match for good Roman warriors. After all, they were the main infantry of the first elite army of Rome, and they were comparable to the Macedonian infantry in terms of equipment, morale, training, and experience.

But the reality is that in the case of a small difference in numbers, the Macedonian phalanx lined up and put forward a line to give frontal pressure to attack, and completely suppress the opponent with a wide front.

It was difficult for the Roman infantry to continue the flank siege, especially without the help of cavalry.

Therefore, face to face, the Roman army will be defeated and retreated, and the Macedonian army can triumph and lose relatively little.

The Macedonian cavalry rushed directly to the center, behind the Roman infantry that was engaged. Attack now.

The Roman infantry line was crushed, and then the two flanks were scattered, and the Roman army retreated. The light cavalry pursued to expand the victory.

The Macedonian army won this crucial battle.

Aloyos led his troops back to the camp to rest. In the afternoon, a team came from the rear, and it looked very capable.

It turned out that Antigone was worried about the situation at the front and sent his own Praetorian Guard and some reinforcements.

Aloyos was flattered, this was the king's own Praetorian Guard. However, at present, after the baptism of a major war, there must be a tough battle ahead, and the troops need to replenish fresh blood. He reluctantly incorporated all the reinforcements into his 24th Expeditionary Force, the Second Roman Legion.

In addition, the king sent a logistics team to bring abundant food to the soldiers. Everyone had a full meal.

In the evening, Aloyos personally went to the camp of the wounded soldiers to visit the wounded soldiers. Give them more condolences and care so that they can know that the Kingdom has not forgotten them. The military doctor was instructed to take care of the wounded and return them to the rear as long as necessary. Those with minor injuries must stay, and it is when there is a shortage of manpower.

In the evening, Aloyos pondered alone in the tent:

Now the way forward is cleared. Then the next step is to march under the city of Rome and wait for an opportunity to attack the city; It is better to wait for the opportunity to destroy the elite legions of the Senate before attacking the city.

Aloyos was so tired from fighting during the day that he fell asleep thinking about it.

The next day, the Roman army took the initiative to fight. This was the First Elite Regiment of the Senate under the command of the Senate's trusted general, Decius Maxentius.

It turned out that Gaius had fled to Decius's military camp yesterday and asked him to help him in battle. Decius heard that the defenders outside the south gate had been broken, and knew that he was too conservative to cause the loss of the south road. He said that he wanted to avenge his allies and came to collect debts. All the way recklessly, rushing and killing.

But the greatest characteristic of the people from the Roman Senate was blind arrogance.

When Aloyos heard that the enemy was coming, he did not care about the fortifications that had been built. Because hiding behind a fence and using arrows to consume the enemy is not the battle he wants.

He directly joined forces and sent out of the camp to meet the Roman army.

Apparently this time the Romans were very aggressive, with an offensive posture. Aloyos, seeing the enemy's intentions, set up a battle formation and let the opponent play his cards first.

Presumably, Decius must have summed up the battle ahead. This time I made adjustments. The Roman infantry phalanx was deliberately elongated, with heavy troops deployed on both sides. In this way, the army could move and outflank the Macedonian phalanx to attack. This legion is used in the standard Roman class configuration, with more troops.

What about Macedonia?

Aloyos looked at the newly replenished soldiers, the new Praetorian Guards who had joined the battle sequence, and felt full of confidence. What did he do?
