119. A team of centurians in a desperate situation

"We are surrounded, Centurion. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"

The battle of the hundred-man raid on the Gallic village went so smoothly, but on the way back, it encountered the last thing that everyone wanted, and the worst-case scenario, when the elite Roman hundred-man team was surrounded and intercepted by the Gallic cavalry on the way back to join the legion.

"Draw closer, put away your swords, and replace them all with spears! Do it now, quickly! ”

The Gallic cavalry moved rapidly, and as the commander of the hundred-man phalanx, Appis had little time to think about how to arrange his tactics next, so he could only clear the phalanx first and aim his spearhead at the incoming Gallic cavalry.

In the dust, the legion veterans had quickly gathered together, and their shields were unanimously outward, forming a red shield wall. The reloaded javelins protruded through the gaps in their shields, just as they had done in the bloody battles with the Gallic infantry.

However, this was a tactic of last resort, and without the cover of the Germanic cavalry, leaving the legionary phalanx alone to resist the onslaught of the Gallic cavalry, which was still more difficult for the Roman phalanx. Moreover, the number of the Gallic cavalry encountered by Appis at this moment was almost the same as the number of this Roman hundred.

A cavalry of eighty men charged together, and the impact he produced was powerful enough to tear through the defenses of any Roman centurion.

The horses' hooves trampled the earth and neighed terribly, and the Gallic cavalry on horseback neighed wantonly, as if mocking the ignorance and weakness of the Roman squads. On the battlefield of the General War, they could not tear through the defense line of the Roman legions, and they were here, encircling and suppressing these lone Roman hundreds.

The Gallic cavalry drew closer, whistling mixed with dusty and barbarian roars.

"Steady!"

Appis shouted.

As with all previous campaigns, these legion veterans knew what to do in the next moment without being commanded by Appis. Almost all of the people in the phalanx crouched slightly, tilting in the direction of the Gallic cavalry. The Legion's heavy javelin in his hand reflected a cold cold light in the sun. These weapons, which were originally used for throwing, now became the only weapons in the hands of the soldiers against the cavalry.

As the cavalry roared through, the entire Roman phalanx also ushered in the most tragic impact.

Apis stood in the center of the phalanx, almost feeling the irresistible impact, hitting his arm, as if his entire arm was about to be broken. Under the wild impact, the outermost legionary infantry was instantly knocked down and trampled by the war horses. Some veterans were knocked away by the horses of the Gallic cavalry, and their bodies were tragically soared into the air, and the scene was instantly splashed with flesh and blood.

Those pre-war rhetoric were all forgotten at the moment, and they were abandoned into the mud pit, and at this moment, in such a bloody and cruel battlefield, there were only bloody battles.

After a round of collective charge, the Gallic cavalry finally stopped in front of the third human wall, and the heavy javelins with metal spearheads shook in front of the horses, so that the Gallic horses did not dare to rush forward again. The shock battle turned into a battle of formations.

This was the best time for the heavy infantry phalanx to defeat the cavalry ranks. When these Gallic cavalry stayed where they were, it was the best time for the Roman infantry to rush forward and assassinate.

Just as the Gallic cavalry stopped and prepared to forcibly withdraw from the phalanx, Apis sounded the order for a counterattack, and the veteran of the legion, who heard the whistle, rushed to the horses of the Gallic cavalry like bloodthirsty beasts, with vengeful fury. Or armed with a spear and javelin, assassinate the Gallic rider on the horse, or directly into the abdomen and chest of the horse. Let the blood flow and splash out happily.

The blood of the war horse and the blood of the human were mixed together, and they shot into the face, and they couldn't distinguish each other. Appis wiped a handful of blood from his face, and a thick smell of blood immediately seeped into his nose. But three years after falling into this savage world, Appis has become so accustomed to the smell of blood. In the next second, a Gallic cavalry saw the commander of this Roman hundred, and waved his horsewhip vigorously, causing the horse to rush to Appis......

However, before he could rush in front of him, Seklas's spear had already pierced the body of the Gallic cavalryman.

A Roman heavy javelin, almost two meters long, pierced the body of the Gallic cavalry, pierced from the back and out of the chest. This bloody and savage assassination was the way for the legionary veterans to quickly deal with the Gallic cavalry. More than eighty Gallic cavalry fell in less than two minutes under the simple and violent assassination of Roman veterans, however, many more cavalry were forced to withdraw from the battlefield under the command of their commander-in-chief. Fools know that they want to make another charge, although they themselves will be knocked away by the recoil force when they charge, but compared to the losses of the infantry, the ratio of cavalry killed in the charge is still very small.

"No, they can't be allowed to withdraw!"

Almost at the same time, Appis's heart was already in his throat, the Gallic cavalry had just charged in a round, and had already killed more than thirty legionary infantrymen, and if they were to withdraw from the battlefield and charge at the infantry phalanx again, this legion of hundredsmen would almost be declared reimbursed, and it would be impossible for him to survive such a terrible charge.

The pain from the arms and various parts of the body is so real, I am in the real battlefield of the ancient Roman world at the moment, not in the game, and I can't do it again after death.

However, the Gallic cavalry still frantically whipped their horses and withdrew from the battle, leaving the Roman centurion with nothing but despair. Sekras was now deeply aware of how the troops who had been sent out to collect food had died tragically under the hooves of the Gauls. The last hope was shattered, until Apis swung his sword and cut the cable from the carriage, blocking the wagon, which had been used to carry food, in front of several legionary infantrymen.

That's when everyone knew what their centurion wanted to do. Since the Gallic cavalry had just appeared, Apis had no time to react, and he instinctively raised his shield to protect himself from what method he wanted to use to resist these cavalry. Now, when the Gallic cavalry had withdrawn, Apis shook his eyes at the unattended wagons behind him, and the grain on them.

These bulky carriages were now the best means of protection against the Gallic cavalry's charge. Appis shouted for all the soldiers who were alive to disperse and hide behind the carriages, and if they were afraid that the horses pulling the carriages would be frightened and scurry, they would cut the ropes and hide behind the wooden carriages, so that the Gallic cavalry would not be able to attack the soldiers.

Soon, the originally concentrated formation was dispersed, and the crowd chose the carriage that they were about to cover at the next moment. Sticking out his head, he quietly waited for the barbarian cavalry to charge again.

The distance would not be very far, and Appis guessed that the Gallic cavalry would soon turn back. At that time, it was time for the 100-man team to strike again. If that's a hundred......
