Chapter 121: Riding the Victory

Podaré Rios sent the Praetorian Cavalry to follow Flavies' rear route, and personally led the rest of his men to charge the Roman cavalry from the flanks and rear.

"Kill~" Podare Rios's group counterattack had an obvious effect, only to see the enemy cavalry turn on their backs, and the Macedonian cavalry formed an advantage. The main force of the Roman cavalry was surrounded in the middle, and the encirclement became smaller and smaller, and the enemy fell one after another. When the Praetorian cavalry reached behind Flavies, he had already realized it and led the guards out of the battle.

At this time, Flavis saw that the cavalry had lost the battle and had to retreat. The Praetorian cavalry did not let up and pursued all the way, and as a result, Flavis killed back with a rifle. On the contrary, it was caught off guard, and the Praetorian Cavalry was unable to parry the sudden attack, and lost a third of the defeat and retreated.

But this could not save the fate of the Roman cavalry troops, because most of the cavalry could not withdraw due to the surroundment, and had to fight to the end with the horses, either dead or wounded. Only a handful of cavalry sporadically followed Flavies and his guards behind the line of infantry. It can be seen that the fighting qualities of the Roman cavalry and the Macedonian cavalry are almost the same, and they are both brave and good at fighting. It's up to who brings the strength of the warriors to the right place.

The corners of Podarerios' mouth lifted slightly, and he felt a little proud in his heart, as if he had seen the dawn of victory. The general's order became even more firm and loud, and he immediately reorganized his cavalry to launch a crucial offensive for the whole campaign. Look at the rest of the battlefield, each side has its own gains and losses. The infantry did not gain the upper hand, but it is certain that they held their positions and did not leave their positions without permission.

The horn of the Macedonian counteroffensive sounded, and the cavalry stormed the flanks of the Roman infantry line with a fierce attack. Many Roman soldiers did not understand what was going on, and there were so many enemy troops there, so they scattered and fled with the phalanx. The Roman Praetorian Guard, the Roman elite garrison, and the Roman Eagle Banner are all the best in infantry warfare, but in the end, part of it must be subordinate to the overall situation, and no matter how powerful a soldier or a phalanx is, only a frontal confrontation with the enemy. Now they are all surrounded and impacted from two or even three sides, and they are really helpless.

Podare Rios did not intend to give the enemy any respite, and in a series of fierce attacks had taken all the fronts of Rome on the right and in the center. Only Flavis led the Roman army on the left flank to struggle, and the Macedonian legion divided into two directions to flank this part of the enemy army, and the Macedonian light cavalry frantically pursued the fleeing Roman soldiers to expand the victory.

Under a powerful siege, the last part of the Roman front also collapsed. Flavies committed suicide in defeat, his guards were scattered, and the Roman legions were completely defeated.

The Macedonian side won a resounding victory, and Podare Ríos ruthlessly annihilated the three main Roman armies in one fell swoop. In his words:

"Leaving the life of a Roman soldier now will cost an extra pint of Macedonian blood in the siege that follows. You don't have the right to be soft, you have to take responsibility for yourself and your teammates. ”

In his eyes, the Roman War had come to an end, and Arethion and Arimiron were ripe apples waiting to be picked.

This battle became one of the most famous, and it was indeed the largest, most well-armed, and far-reaching battle that took place since the beginning of the war between Macedonia and Rome. There is no such thing as success or failure, and the outcome of a war is determined by a variety of reasons. Podare Ríos also fought because of this, becoming the youngest and most brilliant hero of the Macedonian kingdom. Aloyos must have been extremely proud of his son, but Podare Ríos was neither arrogant nor discouraged in victory, always with that calm and cold expression.

On the evening of the end of the battle, the Macedonian army held a large-scale celebration ceremony on the spot, and countless torches and bonfires illuminated the camp. Podare Rios also gave a short speech with a smile on his face, shook hands with the representatives who had made great achievements one by one, and presented honors. Then slaughter pigs and sheep, and comfort the soldiers with delicacies. But the great general, who did not listen to the advice of the crowd, forbade drinking in the field barracks. Although everyone understood the general's intentions, many soldiers still looked at each other:

"It's a consolation not to be allowed to drink." The supreme military commander of the Roman theater of war did what he said, and the order forbade him was afraid that none of his men, from generals to soldiers, did not know.

His blue eyes were filled with wisdom and will. It turned out that he was already planning for the next battle, and he would take action early tomorrow morning.

After defeating the main army of the Roman family Julius, the army of Podare Rios was already unstoppable. Early the next morning, he led the victorious army to the south. The signal corps sent earlier quickly stepped up and delivered the order to the Sith who remained in front of it in a timely manner. When the appointed time comes, they will act at the same time and work together to tear apart the Aretion Line.

Now the situation in the camp of Julius is very serious, and most of the main force of the army has been lost. The general Lucius led the Roman army to defend the Aretion Line, and the defenders of the capital city were less than a full force; The neighbouring region of Ubria had a whole corps. The Legion of Decius, which was still holding the Rubicon to the north, was the only force that Rome could mobilize, but it was also pinned.

Podarerios saw this clearly, and he himself was now clenching his fist and smashing the enemy's fingers apart. No mercy, no hesitation, victory came quickly.

His resoluteness paid off again, and the Macedonian army passed outside the city of Aretion, and the defenders decided to hold the city and did not go out to meet it. The appointed time has come. The three armies of Podar Ríos arrived on time in the predetermined war zone and launched an attack in advance. Sith saw the fighting raging in the distance on the other side and understood that this was a predetermined signal. Immediately lead the soldiers to rush towards the enemy's position, they attack from the front, and assist the operation in the other direction.

The situation now is that the Sith took a main Macedonian army and stood directly opposite Lucius. And there were many fortifications between their two armies, and the Roman soldiers could easily withstand the brute attack of the Sith. After defeating Flavis, Podarerios quickly moved from Regulia to Etrusia, passing through Aretion to the side of the poorly fortified field line, which was in an excellent position. They should play the main attack at all.

Come to the battlefield

All the long-range firepower of the Macedonians rained down on the outer defenses of Aretion. Lucius resisted passively, seeing that the fortifications were destroyed and the soldiers were killed and wounded, but there was nothing he could do. But he now had only one idea, and that was to defend Roman honor with all the Roman warriors who could fight. After throwing the shells he carried, Podare Rios gave the order for a general attack of the three armies.

Regardless of the quality of the individual soldiers on the Roman side, the Macedonian army overwhelmed the Roman native legions with an absolute force of four to one. Moreover, Macedonia is also an elite division, and it ends the battle with a quick victory. Lucius was killed in the rebellion, and the field defense line of Aretion was completely wiped out.

The Roman capital trembled when it was exposed in front of this army of tigers and wolves.
