The Macedonian cavalry frantically attacked and fought hard, and the courage to put life and death aside won the favor of the god of war. Macedonia gradually seized the initiative on the battlefield.

The two armies fought outside the city of Arimiron, and the Macedonians went from disadvantage to partial defeat, and then stabilized their positions, using warplanes to launch a counteroffensive to break the Roman cavalry, quickly breaking through the encirclement. This is the moment when they regain the advantage of cavalry.

and then to the decisive charge against the Roman Praetorian Cavalry, and finally grasped the key to the battlefield.

Seeing that he was surrounded and his guards were killed one after another, the Roman general Lucius decisively ordered a breakthrough. So, they exerted their strength from the light cavalry and broke through decisively. Just in time for two groups of Praetorian infantry to drag the battle line for them.

Instead of giving the order to pursue Lucius, Leocharius divided the cavalry into two teams and flanked the Roman infantry. The Macedonian cavalry launched another frenzied attack, disposing of the infantry, and then pounced on the Roman auxiliary archers. The Roman infantry units were loose due to physical exhaustion. Lucius was reluctant to give up the archers and turned back to save. As a result, he was surrounded again by Macedonian cavalry, and this time Lucius did not break out of the encirclement. The Romans completely lost their cavalry units.

Now, both sides are very tired, and the heavily armored soldiers are exhausted. The Macedonian horses were panting, and the warriors were already blood-stained and red, and their shirts were soaked with blood and sweat. The Roman infantry felt weak and could not run.

Leo Charles shouted loudly to encourage his men and told them to rest. The Roman infantry was deprived of cavalry support and the command of a general, and the numerical superiority did not seem to be of much use. A thought crossed their minds and they retreated to the city.

The only Roman commander left to call the shots was the commander, and he decided to fight even if it was only the infantry, after all, the Roman infantry still had numbers and tight formations to rely on.

The Romans began to advance in as long a formation as possible in an attempt to encircle the cavalry and exterminate it. The Macedonian cavalry rose up again, attacking from both flanks, striking the enemy with precision and striking surgical blows, cutting out the Romans' light infantry and all archers. All that was left were the Roman legionnaires and the Praetorian Guard.

At this time, the Roman commander and the rest of his men approached the edge of the city and tried to withdraw to the city to ensure that there were enough defenders in the future. However, the soldier did not understand well. They went from retreating in order to fleeing. The centurion was unable to stop the chaos.

The Macedonian cavalry immediately seized the opportunity and took cover from behind. The panicked retreat of the Roman infantry had already caused a loose formation, which, combined with the unstoppable onslaught of the enemy cavalry, resulted in a great defeat for the Roman army.

Leo Charles also showed no mercy and wiped out the Roman troops who had taken the initiative to leave the city. This meant that Rome's second largest city was very weak and could be attacked and breached.

Macedonia won a major victory in the Arimillon region.

Next, the Ninth Legion and its auxiliaries arrived, opening the passage to the city with a catapult. The whole army entered the city with a decisive victory and captured the city of Arimillon with overwhelming and absolute superiority.

Podare Rios received a military briefing stating that Leochricis had taken Arimillon lightly and that he had not suffered excessive military losses.

He was very happy, got up and asked the signal soldier:

"How did he do it?"

General Leo Charles said that it was a coincidence, and they attacked quickly with cavalry, and the enemy fought lightly. They used flexible cavalry tactics to annihilate the enemy's main forces and outside the city. After that, it was easy to break the city. ”

"Good. Good. Leo Charles was a cavalry genius, and he was very good at cavalry. ”

Knowing that the nearby city had been broken, Theszarus decided to attack Arettion. This was the second storming of the Roman capital of Julius, and it was only possible to win without defeat.

Under the city of Arettien, Thessaros read in public the handwritten instructions of Podarerios, the supreme military governor of Rome:

"This battle will be won! As soon as the siege horn sounded, no one had to take a step forward, and was not allowed to retreat half a step. Decisively take the city, and each person who enters the city will receive an additional three towers of gold in addition to other meritorious rewards of the kingdom. If it fails, all phalanxes, squadrons, and squads will carry out the eleventh smash order! ”

Although the law was strict, in the face of the unusually tall walls of Aretion, the soldiers were enthusiastic and eager to try.

Thessaros gave an order, and all the ballistas, giant stone crossbows and other siege equipment fired in unison, tilting stones and fire bombs onto the city wall, and the scene was shocking and magnificent. The Macedonian soldiers roared loudly, raising their morale to a boiling state.

The front wall was in dilapidation, the surrounding turrets and turrets were all destroyed, and the ammunition was almost gone. The drums of war thundered, and the horns were crisp.

"Kill! ~~"The Macedonians shouted and killed with passion, and everyone was enthusiastic and rushed madly to the city. It's time to wash away the shame of the last defeat in the city.

During a regular siege, cavalry was often the last to enter the city. This time, Thessaros himself led the guards and was the first to storm into the city, rushing into the Roman Praetorian Guard and slaughtering them wantonly. Other elite cavalry followed, charging into the city. The Roman infantry deployed on the inside of the gap in the wall could not withstand the clash of the cavalry group at all, and were involuntarily squeezed into the inner streets.

At this time, I saw that the veterans of the death squad continued to rush into the city without their lives, and even killed the inner street before the cavalry. They're once again in the city, and this time they don't want to be kicked out. The infantry of the 2nd Corps, guided by the death squads, quickly entered the central square.

With such an efficient siege of the city, in fact, they also have to thank their comrades who attacked the city for the first time, they fought to the death, and used attrition to hedge the resoluteness of attrition, which seriously dampened the strength of the city guards. Even if it was a two-to-one low attrition, it abolished more than half of Rome's elite defense force, the Roman Elite Garrison.

When Thessarus led his cavalry to the central square, he found that his phalanx had been placed in all the Roman cavalry, clearing out the remnants of the Roman legionnaires who were blocked in the corner. Aletion's defender, Quintus Plautianus, wanted to repeat the square's fortified defense tactics once again, but was cracked by the elite Macedonian reinforced phalanx. A phalanx of spears with solid footing will always restrain cavalry.

The Macedonian army captured the capital of Julius' camp and at the same time declared victory in the war against Rome.

The capture of Aretion marked the elimination of the last Roman power and the completion of Macedonia's conquest of Rome.

Arettien, Arimiron. Podare Rios received good news from the front at the rear General Command, and his blue eyes shone brightly. His plan was a success.
