Chapter 250: Step by Step

On the beach, a large number of soldiers were in disarray on the water near the sea, and they had no way to retreat, but could only struggle to support themselves under the iron hooves of the Vandal cavalry. The frenzied Vandals marched together and pushed the thousand lives on the shore into the sea.

More than a dozen long-range strike ships of Hermanus' fleet had appeared at the rear of the battlefield, and the archers were armed, and according to the orders given by the flagship, they did not care at all that there were still patches of Roman soldiers floating on the water.

"Brush Brush ......"

The arrows that covered the sky and the sun rushed straight into the air at a height of dozens of meters, giving a short period of shade to the two sides who were still struggling to fight. But no one wants to stay in the shade, they would rather be exposed to the scorching sun and struggle in the sea.

"Click-click-......" dense arrows fell, countless people fell to the ground with arrows, and the sudden damage made the war horses panic, they began to neigh, and became uncontrollable in the military formation, disrupting the formation of the Wonders attack.

With the help of several sailors, Luga boarded a battleship in the center of the second landing fleet, and to the astonished gaze of the soldiers, Luga carried the golden flag and slowly stretched out his feet on the rickety deck.

"General!"

Their centurions were the first to come to their senses, and they hurriedly saluted, standing in place, trembling, not daring to move, and completely succumbing to Luga's splendid armor and golden banner. The soldiers behind him also froze in place, and they were at a loss for a moment when they saw their centurion so distracted.

"Don't be nervous, soldiers!"

Lu Jia, who had never been treated like this, was also a little fluttering, but fortunately, he quickly kept his composure, only to see the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and waved his hand to the stunned soldiers with a rather urban appearance, and said comfortingly: "I am just your comrade-in-arms, of course, I will work with you to take this beach!" It is true that many will be sacrificed, but you just need to remember that God and the gods of Olympus are watching this battle and hoping that we will win this game, follow me, attack the direction of my banner, and get the victory and glory we deserve! ”

Such words of encouragement, though blunt, worked, for Luga saw the stiff smiles on the soldiers' faces, and nodded to each other in recognition of Luga's approval.

"The Vandals are just a bunch of uncivilized barbarians, so let's teach them what civilized greetings are!"

"Roar!"

The morale of the soldiers was completely aroused, and they raised their shields and roared, as if they were eager to rush into the chaotic formation of the Vandals in the next moment.

"Impact speed! Burn the wind! Burn the wind! ”

The sailors, wielding leather whips, whipped the poor slaves with ferocity, forcing them to rush to the dock with all their might, as fast as they wanted.

"Spread out! Disperse! ”

The soldiers, struggling in the water, looked back at the speeding warship, and they swam desperately to the shore, trying to avoid the huge crashing horns that were rushing straight ahead. But the warships that rushed straight forward did not have the slightest pity for their lives, and the ten metal ramming horns were like ten huge death scythes, like a raging wave coming from the sea, tearing apart and devouring all the lives in front of them, and the sea was dyed red at that moment, and in the red water, ten warships broke through the waves, pointing directly at the Vandal cavalry who were still running around on the shore to resist.

"Boom, boom!"

The Vandals' cavalry quickly reacted to the fact that the Romans were about to start a second landing, so they quickly gathered under the ship, like hungry dogs waiting for food, waiting for cannon fodder to jump down. But this time they miscalculated, and the first to come down was not the unlucky ghost who was pushed down, but the shuttle darts, dozens of shuttle darts were like a rainstorm, and they fell all over the body of the Vandal cavalry in an instant, and they were suddenly in a mess.

In the chaos, only a flash of golden light was seen, and only a man wearing heavy armor, holding an iron sword in his right hand and a golden banner in his left, fell into them like a god of war, and the first blow fell from the sky, the first blow was to stab the iron sword into the shoulder of a Vandal, and he would swing the sword in his hand to slash and kill all the living Vandals in front of him.

More and more soldiers followed their supreme commander to the ground, roaring and stabbing their sharp iron swords into the Vandals' bodies, one by one the Vandals were brutally killed and fell. Soon a large number of Roman soldiers in silver armor were all over the coast.

"Keep up, swim back, keep up!"

The Roman soldiers, struggling in the water, struggled to swim back to the shore, where the beach was now covered with corpses.

The vandal cavalry, which had already been defeated, was forced to retreat, leaving behind their wounded soldiers, and no one knew when they would return, along with those who had no horses.

"Gather all the prisoners together and line up at the front of our army, and see if the Vandals who come after them will stop at their companions!" Luga commanded loudly, and at this moment ten more warships appeared behind him, and ten hundred-man teams were once again added to Luga's ranks.

"It seems that Hermanus has not been idle for a moment." This made Luga feel very relieved, because Hermanus's fleet had been moving troops at the fastest speed, and there were only more than 2,000 men at the moment. Luga led more than a hundred men to a hilltop where the view was so wide that he could clearly see the Vandals' attack on Syracuse, which had become a sea of fire, but the strong walls held back Gaissarik's footsteps.

Gaisaric was not reconciled, and his army remained gathered under the city of Syracuse for a long time and was reluctant to leave. The defeated cavalry naturally attracted the attention of Gaisarik, so that he would not let himself be caught in the awkward situation of fighting on two fronts, so he reversed the direction of his army, abandoned the attack on Syracuse, and chose to counterattack the Romans from the sea. He didn't know how many Romans came this time, he only knew that he was one step away from success, and he had to fight hard no matter what, and he gambled on the shame of the battle of the North Rhine!

"Gaisaric estimates that there are more than 5,000 people." Luga watched carefully from the top of the hill, and asked the soldiers behind him to start recording, "I need five hundred long-range archers now, and the cavalry will not be transported because the horses cannot adapt for a while, in short, bring all the ships of the fleet equipped with ultra-long-range trebuchets and ballistae close to the shore, and I will go head-to-head with Gaisaric within their range!" ”

The soldier in charge of the record quickly wrote and retreated, Luga looked at the Vandals who were slowly approaching him, and he didn't know the bottom of his heart, no cavalry naturally had no battlefield flexibility at all, and there was a flood of infantry fighting head-to-head, so what to use to deliver the deadliest blow to defeat the enemy? Luga is in trouble!
