"Soldiers, hold on to your shields, follow me, and advance!"

Outside the city of Kielkovia, hundreds of Roman infantry of the First Brigade of the Legion were forming a neat battle line, led by Chief Centurion Appis, and marched towards the city of Kielkovia. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoThe autumn rain sprinkled on the phalanx of the legion, as if all the phalanxes were silent in the heavy rain, and as if the whole earth was trembling, and the song of the legion's excitement was floating.

The phalanx of the First Brigade marched in unison to the frenzied beating of drummers, and the allied Gallic forces stationed outside Kirkovia were clearly unprepared for the Roman attack.

In a panic, they took up bows and arrows, spears, and resisted, stopping the Roman phalanx from moving on, but this overall offensive was premeditated and planned. Caesar's mule corps had already "infiltrated" the rear walls of Kirkovia under the guise of elite Roman troops, successfully attracting the main force of Vicintoli to intercept the feint Roman army that was besieging the city, and even Vicintoli himself followed to personally direct the defense. The opening of the door in the middle became the best time for the real elite troops of the Roman legions to tear through the enemy's defenses.

Only this time, the siege of the main force of the legion was not a real siege, it was just a staged siege to demoralize the enemy, Caesar gave an order before the battle, everyone could only attack the camp of the Gauls stationed outside the city, and could not climb the city walls and kill inside the city. Because the purpose of this siege was not to really occupy the city, Caesar knew that with the army in his hands now, there was not enough food and grass to besiege the city, and it was almost impossible to defeat the army of Vicintoli in a single battle. Therefore, the purpose of the attack was only to demoralize the enemy, and then to allow the Roman legions to withdraw smoothly and return to the territory of the Eduids, so as to solve the problem of the Edui once and for all. Solve the problem of the source of food and grass for the Roman legions.

"Everyone, hold your shields, squat, cover the attack."

Outside the city, all the Gallic tribal soldiers in the camp ran out, armed with spears and bows and arrows, and fired indiscriminately at them as they were marching. No sooner had Apis finished shouting the order than a rain of arrows from the Gauls struck the "tortoiseshell" of the legion.

"Keep going!"

After dodging the first wave of arrows, Appis got up and ordered the phalanx to move forward again, and the surrounding six hundred-man phalanx also followed the movements of the Eagle Banner hundred-man team as promised before the war. The commander simply had no way of communicating the order to each phalanx. It is also because of this that experienced centurions are needed.

"Roar, roar, roar."

After several rounds of long-range attacks to no avail, the Gallic coalition began to panic, they were noisy and noisy, probably because the commander was not there, there was no unified command, no one listened to anyone's command, but no one dared to take the initiative to rush out and block the advance of the Roman phalanx. They roared, or should be said to be screaming, on the high ground, trying to deter and drive away the Romans' attack.

"This group of naïve savages, who thought that their chaotic roar could stop the Roman legions, only showed their fear and made the second brigade attack. Listen to Appis' orders. ”

The Gallic defenders roared outside the camp, but Rabienus completely ignored this deterrence and threw more soldiers into battle, and the experienced Roman officers knew that the Celtic war cry must be called for unity by the barbarian chieftains, and such a noisy and noisy scream like a bazaar only showed that the Gauls were unprepared, and that they were only making a final struggle.

"Front, steady, back, lift your javelins!"

The phalanx of the legions was closing in, the barbarian soldiers roared on the small high slopes, the rain poured down, and Apis gave an ultimatum. Behind them, hundreds of Roman legionnaires raised their javelins to their shoulders, waiting for the commander's command to fire.

"Boom, boom, boom."

Thunder rang out in the sky, as shocking as Jupiter's roar.

"It's now, projection!"

"Jupiter is with us!"

After the thunderclap rang out, Apis roared with the loudest rage. Like hundreds of roaring beasts, the loose Roman heavy javelin Pirum was released from the hands of the soldiers, piercing the dreary sky, breaking through the rain curtain and striking the barbarian defenders on the opposite side.

Suddenly, blood splattered, and the barbarian's roar turned into a scream, moaning.

Some javelins were stopped by the shields of the Gallic warriors, but they were inserted into the shields and could not be pulled out, making them extremely difficult to move. The Gallic warrior simply threw away his shield, held his sword in both hands, and rushed down the hill with a roar.

"Brothers, hold on to your shields and kill these haunting bugs, let their blood splash and let their corpses pile up under our feet!"

Appis stood in the center of the line and yelled. It's been more than three years since I crossed over into this world, and many times, it is necessary to learn the way the people in this world speak, like when their centurions train recruits, such as the encouragement of the commander to the soldiers and the taunts of the enemy on the battlefield.

"Roar. Roar. ”

More than a hundred legionary infantry behind him instantly closed their shields and once again discharged the tight shield wall to resist the onslaught of the barbarians. The snare drummers began to beat the exuberant Roman military music in the phalanx. (Roman rock music invented by Appis)

"Roar, roar, roar."

Amid the rousing Roman military music, the barbarians roared and rushed towards the phalanx of the Roman legions.

Axes and swords slashed from the air, and the terrain made it easier for the Gallic soldiers to charge, hitting twice as hard as on flat ground. Roman legions seldom attacked their opponents on their backs, and it was the first time that Appis had been attacking enemy positions like this for the first time since he joined the legions. Perhaps the odds were too great, and Viccintoli had already led a large army to the back city to stop another Roman army.

"Steady!"

On the battle front, the two armies had already begun to fight, and Apis roared angrily from time to time to stabilize the line. A large number of Roman and Gallic soldiers fought in close combat. In the bloody scene again, Apis directly stabbed the short sword into the throat of the barbarian warrior in front of him, and then brutally pulled it out, causing the blood to gush out like a spring.

"Military musicians, speed up, step up the tempo!"

Appis then continued to stand in the front row of the center of the phalanx, shouting orders and roaring. Soon, the military musicians in the middle of the phalanx were beating the copper-faced drum on their waists even harder. All the Roman legionary infantry stabbed frantically to the rhythm of military music, slaughtering the Gallic soldiers who rushed up. Blood flowed all over the ground beneath the feet of the Roman soldiers, and even with every step, blood was splattered......
