Chapter 116: Blood stains the Rhine

"Don't slow down, move forward! Advance! ”

Andrew was beside me, constantly pointing at the soldiers around me and behind me.

"Stepping on ......"

The sound of heavy footsteps was like a beating drum, beating on the ground beneath his feet. The Burgundians had the strongest of their soldiers in the first row, and they formed a semicircle, like an eggshell, to protect the old and sick within.

"Bang Bang Bang ......"

As I ran, I heard the loud sound of bowstrings in front of me, and when I looked up, I saw arrows flying out of the Burgundians like dense raindrops.

"Defense! Defense! ”

I shouted, raising my shield above my head, but by this time many people were rushing with their heads down, and my orders were quickly drowned out in their roars.

"Snort..."

There were people around them who were constantly being hit by arrows and falling, and they didn't even snort before they were drowned out in the crowd that rushed up behind them. This small casualty is basically insignificant for such a turbulent torrent, the defense line formed by the Burgundians is in front of them, and the running soldiers draw their shuttle darts and stand on their shoulders, a bloody battle is about to take place!

"Attack! Offensive! Tear them apart! Tear them apart! ”

Andrew roared angrily, leading the soldiers behind him to speed up again. Entered, less than ten meters away, the Burgundians hid their bodies behind their shields, and they huddled together in layers, trying to withstand the impact of our charge!

"Brush!"

Hundreds of javelins flew over my head and landed in the ranks of the Burgundians, and I saw red blood blooming in the middle of the Burgundians and screams filling everyone's ears.

"Bang ......"

The charging Roman soldier slammed his shield against the shield of the Burgundians, but the result was just as the Burgundians wanted to see, and it was impossible for flesh and blood to shake the army in front of them.

"Luga!"

Andrew put his hand on my shoulder, and I turned my head to meet his eyes, and he stared at me tightly, and said with a serious face: "Whatever happens, don't show mercy to any Burgundian, you know!" You have to live! ”

After saying that, Andrew let go of me, and after a run-up, he jumped up suddenly, this guy really didn't know how much strength he had. Loaded with such heavy armor, the strong man stepped over the shield of almost a man and headed for a boulder that fell from the sky.

"Boom!"

A group of people were knocked down by Andrew, including the bastard with the shield, and in an instant, a gap the seemingly indestructible Burgundian shield array appeared as big as a person, but it was enough, the continuous influx of Roman soldiers made the Burgundian unable to seal the gap, and the whole body was moved, and this small gap instantly caused the Burgundian army to collapse.

Holding back the dark pain in my chest, I waved the cavalry sword in my hand and shouted, "Assemble!" Gather! "That way, my former soldiers will be able to follow me closely.

Looking up again, I wanted to see what was going on with Andrew, but I didn't see him because I was obscured by hordes of Roman soldiers in front of me. I couldn't see what was going on with Andrew, the gap in the Burgundians was getting bigger and bigger, more Burgundians were scattered, and the Burgundian soldiers who had relied on the formation now had to fight in different ways.

"Bliss! Bliss! ”

I turned back to call for Briss, and he hurried forward. I grabbed the chain mail at the cuff of his coat and pulled him in front of me.

"Sir!" He shouted at me, not knowing what I was going to do.

"Follow me, none of us can die!"

As I spoke, I let go of his chain mail and followed the crowd into the chaos with a shield in my left hand and a sword in my right.

The Burgundians who knocked down on the ground with their shields and tried to get up, I led more than 50 soldiers behind me to keep advancing, and the Romans and Burgundians scuffled together, whether it was the Roman side or the Burgundian side, the formation no longer existed, only my phalanx was still close to each other and kept advancing.

"The Burgundians are exhausted!"

I shouted to the soldiers behind me, reminding them that victory was at hand. Because I bore the brunt of all the Burgundians I saw who tried to resist, they did not have the most basic armor of their swords, and the weapons in their hands were all kinds of tools, most of which were hastily inserted, and that should be the only weapon they could use.

Looking at their eyes again, all the fear in their pupils was there, and they trembled in front of us in full armor, but they didn't want to lay down their weapons like pigs and wait for our slaughter. Most of them were teenagers and gray-haired old men, and they couldn't even hold the grass cuttings in their hands, and I even saw quite a few women among them, wearing long dresses, holding a wooden stick tightly, and although they had the courage to resist us, their eyes were evasive, indicating that they did not have much courage, and that their fear was from the heart.

I and more than 50 people under my command confronted them, and at this time you must want to ask why we don't attack when we already have an absolute advantage? I guess it was just because I was soft-hearted. I clutched the cavalry sword in my hand and appeared in the crowd, and the soldiers drew their pikes, waiting for my orders.

“die! die! die! ”

The soldiers around me roared and flapped their shields like hungry mastiffs, and I was the invisible chain that held them to rest.

"They're just defenseless civilians, why? Should I kill them or not? ”

It's a bond in my heart now.

"Sir! Give the order, kill them, kill them! ”

Bliss clutched the trumpet tightly in his right hand, urging me over and over again, and reminding me constantly: "They have weapons in their hands, and whoever takes up weapons is our enemy!" ”

"Our enemy?" I muttered, as if asking myself. At this point, I thought of the old coachman of the previous night, because I lost my mind and indulged in killing, and he lost his only child and daughter-in-law.

I thought that after Andrew's advice yesterday, I had suddenly become enlightened about killing, but somehow, when I saw these civilians in tattered clothes and still resisting with wood and grass, I couldn't be ruthless and drove my soldiers to kill wantonly.

"So whose children and husbands are these people?"

The guilt came over me again, and my hands began to tremble, and I didn't think about it at all, and I remembered the look in the woman's eyes that day, and I knew that if I gave the order, there would be more and more eyes in such despair to see my life go away.
