At this time, at the foot of Mount Etna, Luga led his regrouped army of more than 5,000 men to find a high ground and camp there. Berialius was assigned by him to guard the dozens of warships in Trapani,

The wait was another three days, until a group of barbarian soldiers appeared in the woods not far away. There weren't many people, but it was enough to show that Gaisaric was coming.

"Okay guys, we've got work to do!"

Luga mounted his horse and walked in front of the army that had just been assembled, and the soldiers behind him followed him closely in three formations. In front of the formation were nearly a thousand archers, bows and arrows, held in front of them, and they stood scattered, their eyes fixed on the woods.

"Gaisaric is here, and such humiliation will surely make him seek a fight with me!" Luga said to Andrew, who was beside him.

Luga was not wrong, the group stopped, and in the face of a whole army of Romans, they were not afraid at all, and stopped directly in the clearing in front of the woods.

"I'll just say, if they didn't have a backstage, they wouldn't be so calm!" As he spoke, he looked ahead and heard a large clatter of bushes from the overwhelmed woods, and in a few moments he saw bands of Vandals emerge from the woods, forming a straight line in front of Luga.

Gaisaric was still standing on the chariot that belonged to him, his head held high, and he still looked like he was invincible, and it must have been the large soldiers under his command who gave him enough confidence to face the Roman legions of the same size as his army.

Now that Luga's army is on high ground, they have their backs to Mount Etna, and they have blocked the road to Trapani, and if Gaisaric wants to retake Trapani, he must crush Luga's Ninth Army.

Gaisaric was not unprepared, he quickly adjusted the formation of his army, and his cavalry was at the forefront, their javelins in their hands, tightening their reins like a wound bow and arrow, ready to attack.

"Andrew, order the Overseers in place." Luga said to Andrew, "It seems that Gaisaric does not want to go around, but wants to defeat us to relieve his hatred, so that the tent on the beach outside Syracuse will be settled today!" Andrew was ordered to retreat.

"Overseer! Overseers in place, Overseers in place! ”

At the command, the entire legion quickly began to adjust, and the samurai, heavily armed and wearing black iron masks, with whips in their left hand and swords in their right, quickly ran through the formation, and came to the back of each hundred-man phalanx behind the first array of infantry.

"Cheer up, boys, and beat those Vandal bastards!"

"If anyone is cowardly, the whip is a warning, if you still don't heed the warning, then I will use the iron sword in my hand to kill you with my own hands!"

The Overseers began to threaten the soldiers in front of them with the intimidation tactics they were good at, trying to cheer them up.

"Phew!"

The soldiers roared under the centurion's leadership, and many of them had trembling hands, which was due to nervousness.

Luga was calm, he watched the Vandal army approaching step by step, rode his horse back, and walked into his army without hurrying, returning to the guards led by Andrew.

"Archers, archers ready!"

The thousand archers stretched their bows to the sky, drew their bowstrings, and waited in place, as Gaisarik continued to lead his men forward, knowing that as he went, he would encounter an overwhelming rain of arrows.

He beckoned the vanguard to move forward with their shields, while the javelin-wielding cavalry flanked the ranks and the javelin-piper infantry trailing behind the infantry, in an attempt to use the infantry's shields to escort the javelinmen to a close enough distance to counterattack the Roman archers.

But it is hidden so deeply, how can they see it in Luga, and Luga thinks that among them, the archers are nothing more than long-range consumption troops, and the real backbone of the force is the melee infantry.

"Luga, they're coming up!" Andrew reminded from the sidelines.

"They seem to be going to go toe." Luga ordered the herald beside him: "Tell the soldiers of the first array to take a defensive posture, the second array is on standby, and the cavalry is on standby in the third array." ”

When the herald was ordered to retreat, Luga asked Andrew for an apple, took a bite and said as if to himself, "Let's see what he thinks!" ”

At a distance of two hundred meters, the Vandals' troops did not stop, and they marched forward to meet the Romans on the hillside.

One hundred and fifty meters away, the vanguard of the Vandals had begun to quicken their pace, and they trotted "on foot".

"Cavalry, advance to the rear of the first array!" Luga commanded loudly, and saw a thousand heavily armed cavalrymen carrying their spears and horses slowly to the rear of the first array, holding shields in their left hands and short cavalry spears in their right hands, gritting their teeth and waiting quietly.

One hundred meters.

"Whew! Call! Call! ”

The Vandals roared three times, sped up again, and swooped down the gentle slope.

"Brush!"

Thousands of arrows rained down on the heads of the Vandals with the sound of bowstrings snapping at almost the same time.

"Dangdangdang......" The vanguard of the Vandals advanced with shields, but many people still fell from arrows, but this could not stop the attack of the Vandals at all!

Eighty meters!

"Brush Brush ......"

Another volley, and the sub-zero archers were faced with a large field of shields, and the shields of the vanguard of the Vandals were filled with arrows.

Fifty meters!

"Don't panic, steady, steady!"

The commanding officer in the ranks of the archers loudly calmed the emotions of the archers, and at the officer's order, they once again opened their bows and aimed their arrows at the Vandals who were getting closer and closer.

"Brush Brush ......"

The bow and arrows were scattered, but nothing had changed, and the bow and arrows could not penetrate the heavy shield. The last attack was hopeless, and the archers no longer had the courage to stay where they were. They beckoned their companions to the right and ran back.

At this distance, the time had come for the Vandals' javelinmen to show their skills, and they desperately threw their javelins at the archers who turned around, and of course the harvest was quite good, and dozens of people fell under the javelins, which made the archers quicken their pace.

The soldiers of the first array behind them had already reserved a place for them to retreat, and when the last of the archers had fled to a safe area, the soldiers of the first array regrouped, but the Vandals were already close at hand.

"Defense! Defense! ”

The soldiers stood forward with their shields, their spears resting on their shields, and the sharp tips of their spears pointed straight at the vandals who were rushing at them.

"Attack! Offensive! ”

"Woo woo woo ......"

The trumpets of the Roman army were loud, and the soldiers of the first array were seen to retreat sharply, and the neighing of horses was heard, and a thousand cavalry swooped down like a torrent of mountains. Facing the hard-working Vandals, they rushed away.

Even if a person is strong, in the face of a galloping war horse, if he doesn't dodge this blow and take it hard, he is still like no one else, I'm afraid there are really no such people in this world.

"Boom, boom, boom......"

The "torrent" roared violently and collided with the vanguard of the Vandals, and in that instant, the Vandals' attack was disintegrated.
