Chapter 549: Forward and Backward Strikes

"The enemy is twice as many as us! This is good! lest we not receive flowers and cries when we bear the cost and win. Luga shouted as he slapped the cavalrymen's erect spears with the Dragon's Breath Sword in his hand, calling out to them to cheer them up.

"Slow down as much as you can, move at a constant pace, give me all your strength at a distance of less than fifty meters, and let me tear apart their formation!"

The infantry centurions shouted and ordered the soldiers behind them, and they did not say a word, but ran quickly in the footsteps of their commanders. The flag-bearer held the flag in his hand, although it was covered with dirt, and there were some signs of damage and fire, and the soldiers were dressed in tatters, and the chain mail on their bodies was rusty, and with their unshaven beards, they looked like barbarians, and they did not match the soldiers of civilized countries at all.

"Stepping on ......"

But they were still advancing, and for the sake of their possible freedom, the heavy gasps of the soldiers fell together, and the weapons in their clenched hands trembled involuntarily.

"Down with them! Down with them! The soldiers repeated it one after another, like a mobilization slogan, which made them excited.

The Alan army in front of them was close at hand, and they were not many in number, but they did not have the influence of so many low-strength levies, and they were strictly more dangerous. The Alans beckoned to each other to raise their wooden shields against the ground, and raised their spears with their spears, the sharp tips aimed at the oncoming Romans.

"Wow! Wow! Wow! ”

The two armies were close at hand, and the Romans increased the speed of their charge, and the soldiers roared loudly, and the pace of march in unison turned into a rumbling gallop in an instant.

The Alans immediately raised their spears and faced the Romans who were about to pounce, and he was more in the midst of it.

The two armies collided violently, and soon the sound of fighting was endless, the battle between the two sides had just begun, the Alan soldiers hid behind their shields to block the crazy Romans, their erect left foot was pushed by the Romans to hover in mid-air, but with the support of the soldiers behind, they slammed their left foot suspended in mid-air to the ground.

The roar of the soldiers, such a sound made Luga's heart beat faster, this may be the so-called blood boiling. He led the last remaining cavalry to advance slowly on the left side of the army.

Luga was a little surprised that the Alans were able to hold their ground under the onslaught of the Romans. The infantry on both sides fell into a fierce tug-of-war, and for a time no one was able to distinguish the winner or loser, and even the casualties were not so serious.

Luga led the cavalry to make a detour to attack the flank or back of the Alan army, but Diego led his cavalry to block Luga's way, if they wanted to break the defense of the Alan's infantry, they had to crush their cavalry, Luga had no choice but to lead the cavalry to charge and crash into the Alan's formation.

"It seems that the first plan is simply not going to happen." Matteorius shook his head helplessly, and with a wave of his hand, the soldiers formed a semicircular shield wall, behind which the archers and javelinmen were ready for battle, waiting for the Vandals to attack.

"The Romans are only half as many as we are, but they force us to fight on both sides." Gaisaric said to the officer beside him: "We must crush the Roman reinforcements before our eyes, and then capture their captains, but we must crush them as soon as possible. ”

The Vandals cavalry quickened their pace, and they galloped and slammed their spears into the Roman formation in front of them.

"Click......"

The sound of bowstring bullets sounded, and a burst of javelins and arrows landed from the sky among the charging Vandal cavalry, and for a while the charging horses had to stop because of injuries and other reasons, and the riders could not control the frightened horses. Many riders who had been shot by arrows or javelins fell from their horses, and after they died, their horses scurried around, disturbing the surrounding cavalry and causing confusion throughout the army.

The cavalry that followed had no choice but to bypass the chaotic front-line army, kick their horses in the belly, and ram into the Romans' shield walls regardless of the consequences. Although they are the mercenaries of Matteorius and their family, their combat effectiveness is still very strong. Together, they fended off the onslaught of the Vandals' cavalry and used their spears to stop the Vandals' horses from moving forward, keeping them behind the shields of the frontline soldiers.

Although they resisted stubbornly, they did not have the strength of their horses, and the cavalry horses of the Vandals continued to advance against the shields of the Roman soldiers, pushing the Roman infantry back. The Vandal cavalry even used their iron swords and axes to cut the heads of the Roman infantry.

"Attack! Offensive! ”

Luga wielded his iron sword, knowing that the Alans in front of him were far outnumbered by them, but in order to break through, they still rushed forward without hesitation.

"Come on! Come on! Diego was among the cavalry, and everyone raised their spears to face the Roman cavalry roaring in front of them. Countless collisions sounded together,
