Together, you are lions, otherwise, you are nothing. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Under the impact of the massive number of Oriental uncles, Apis once again deeply felt this, the Roman legions are united, it is an invincible war machine, the shield wall is like a copper wall to resist all sword attacks, the Roman short sword is like an efficient slaughtering machine, so that the enemy's blood flows, in just a few minutes, the Eastern militia's round of offensive was broken up again, and the ground was scattered with the enemy's bloody limbs and bodies. The corpses with severed arms and mutilated bones lay at the feet of the outermost legionary infantry, their straw sandals stained red with blood, and the smell of blood was thick.

And taking advantage of the time when the enemy retreated to the offensive, the centurions ordered the soldiers in the back row to take the place of the soldiers in the front row, rotate, recover their physical strength in time, and also replace the wounded.

Immediately, the Roman soldiers who had fallen silent on the front line could hear the sound of countless soldiers and slaves digging fortifications in the hard dirt ground with pickaxes and shovels in the defensive circle. There was no time to lay the stakes in the first trench outside the barracks, so Appis simply ordered everyone to start building the camp after digging the trenches.

At this time, the long and hard training of the Roman soldiers came in handy, and the veterans of the 10th Legion, after a long day of fighting, were still tirelessly doing these dirty and tiring rough work, their hands were calloused and sweaty, and they were under the constant harassment of the enemy's spears and bows, building the camps needed by the legions. You must not sleep without building a complete barracks fortification, this is the experience that countless Roman legions have bought with their blood. Therefore, even if the camp was not built at dawn, all the legionnaires would not rest.

They are like black cats in the night, on guard against what is about to happen in front of them.

By this time, the rebels had apparently become extremely disgusted by the tactics of the Roman legions, and countless torches had retreated from the periphery, leaving a suffocating silence in the night, except for the sound of Roman infantry waving their tools behind them to build ramparts, followed by the neighing and galloping of countless horses.

This fear comes from the heart of man, which cannot be overcome, and the instinctive fear of darkness is caused by the torches lit in the positions of the Roman legions, so that the scattered nomadic cavalry only needs to charge at the flickering positions in the darkness to storm the positions of the Romans. And they, charging in the dark, only need to use the moonlight to indicate.

Immediately, around the entire camp position, the terrifying neighing of war horses sounded, and ghosts cried wolf-howled, pounced on the trembling Roman legionary infantry.

"Brothers, whatever lies ahead, hold on to your shields and don't fall, or we won't survive the darkness tonight!"

Appis stood in the crowd and yelled. The morale of the veterans of the Tenth Army was high, and they had just finished digging the fortifications, their faces were disgraced, but they did not dare to have a trace of sleepiness driven by a strong desire to survive.

Immediately, the nomadic cavalry fiercely pounced on the Roman shield wall.

With countless arrows falling from the sky, in the dark night, people could not see the location of these arrows at all, and could only pray that the gods would protect them from being hit by stray arrows. The Colchis Hu cavalry first sprinkled a rain of arrows, and then the horses rushed wildly and cruelly towards the Roman legionary infantry shield wall in the three-tiered defensive circle.

"Steady!"

The moment the horses rushed in, Apis roared with all his strength, while the legionnaires in the front row clenched their shields and closed their eyes, they wanted to use their flesh and blood to resist the enemy's savage charge.

The next moment, people turned on their backs, countless war horses rushed into the crowd, with strong blood, in the forefront of the collision, many legion infantry were knocked into flesh, Appis was not in the first row, can not imagine the moment of impact, the tragic degree of the entire position, just feel that all the legion infantry around them unconsciously took a step back, the power is transmitted layer by layer, to the rear row of infantry there is still a strong sense of oppression, and the cavalry and infantry on the battle line, has been flesh and blood, the moment the war horse crashes into the heavy infantry, Throwing the cavalry on horseback far into the Roman phalanx, the enraged legionary infantry stabbed the half-crippled barbarian riders into meat sauce. It wasn't until the blood kept pouring out, and the Colchis rider was convulsing all over, that the legionnaire stabbed him in the throat with a sword.

On the battle line, the Colchis cavalry, which could not break the Roman heavy infantry defense line at all, could not stop the pace of the horse charge when the riders in front of them were killed, and one by one the war horses crashed into the legion phalanx like a suicidal attack, the spears of the legion heavy infantry had been broken, and the cavalry and their horses were stacked in front of the position. Subsequently, the phalanx of the legions that stood up collectively launched a counteroffensive. They raised their shields, short swords, and with the flames of vengeance, they stabbed the barbarian cavalry who fell in front of them, and many of the Colchis riders had fallen to the ground the moment their horses stumbled, either broken or seriously wounded, and when they fell to the ground, they were slaughtered by the vengeful legionnaires, and those short swords and shields were smashed down one after another, and the blood stained this outer front red, and if a trench was dug here at this time, the blood of the Pharnasis rebels would fill this trench. Appis, however, blew the whistle to tighten the formation in the midst of the massacre of the legionnaires. All the centurions shook themselves from the bloody slaughter and once again directed their soldiers back into their positions.

Soon, the slightly loose entire circular formation tightened again, returning to the state of stacked people and square shields, and at this time, the legion infantry and military slaves in the inner circle had also dug the trenches.

"The rear team follows, stand in place, and after the front team retreats back to the trench!"

Sekras relayed the situation to Appis, who quickly ordered everyone, to take another round of rotation, and the several legion brigades that had just fought with the rebel cavalry retreated to the rear of the trenches, rested, replenished water and food, and the new recruits who had not experienced the battle in the inner circle replaced the positions where the veterans had just stood, and since the first circle of fortifications had been built, and the enemy had just experienced a crushing defeat, Apis expected that Ernassis and his generals would not be so quick to enter the third round of siege.

The three columns of battle immediately made way for these veterans covered in blood to retreat, and the soldiers in the back row immediately lined up a new round of shield walls after replacing the veterans who retreated from the front row, and the soldiers in the inner circle were once again firmly protected.
