"Steady!"

Appis shouted, and in front of him was a dense crowd of charging barbarian warriors, their cries resounding throughout the beach, and behind them, the legionnaires neatly stacked their shields, and the two sides were about to start a brutal and violent bloody battle on this bloody beach.

One hundred steps, fifty steps, twenty steps, Apis did not blow the javelin projection command this time, but directly asked the phalanx to face the British barbarian warriors as dense as locusts in the posture of a tortoiseshell formation.

In the next second, the British warriors who were as numerous as locusts rushed into the defense line of the Roman legions!

In the fiercest part of the battle, the Britons did not even have room to slash with their weapons, they huddled together, and the spears used for hunting continued to stab the phalanx of the Roman legions from above, but the dense shields of the tortoiseshell formation formed an impermeable shield wall, and all the attacks stayed on the perimeter of the shield wall, and the wooden spears struck the shields of the Roman infantry, making a tinkling and knocking sound. The soldiers were within the shield walls, dodging this almost brainless blow of the barbarians, waiting for orders from their centurions. Their short swords have been drawn, thirsting for blood, thirsting for piercing the skin and entrails of savages!

Finally, Appis and the other centurions blew their whistles for attack, and in an instant, the incomparably sharp Roman short sword stabbed out of the crack in the tortoiseshell formation with an incomparably fast movement, as in countless drills in training and battle, these Roman veterans were no longer emotional warriors, but insensitive, efficient killing machines.

The Roman dagger stabbed mercilessly, accompanied by the bitter howl of the barbarians, and the warm blood sprinkled on the faces of the Roman legionnaires, shield walls, but the burst of blood did not frighten them, but intensified their bloodthirsty nature, and there was a beast lurking in everyone's heart, and war was the best tool to inspire this beast.

The Roman phalanx stabbed hordes of barbarian soldiers on the beach with great efficiency, and the blood and entrails of the barbarians covered the ground at the feet of the legions.

Appis's whistles were blown one by one, and with the rhythmic killing of Roman veterans, the psychological defense of the Britons completely collapsed, and in this barbaric and cruel era, the battle did not have so many gorgeous tricks and so-called fighting spirit, kung fu. Some are just realistic and savage assassinations, as long as the iron short sword pierces the important parts of the body, no matter how powerful the warrior is, it will kill with one blow.

Here, there is only blood and cruelty, and the strength of one person can never fight against thousands of people, not even hundreds, and the most powerful gladiators, berserkers, can only fight against a dozen people, at most twenty or thirty people, and they are already the existence of the god of war, because this is a real world......

"Roar, roar, roar."

The legions began to advance, the soldiers shouted neat and powerful slogans, and the barbarian army collapsed, and they gathered together like birds and beasts, pecking at the weak prey, but when they found that they were pecking at a male lion, all the animals involved in the hunt fled frantically and fled back to their territory.

Like the tribes of Britain that attacked the Roman legions on this beach, before they fought together, they were different small tribes, each tribe may only send a few hundred troops to fight, and a dozen tribes came together to have thousands of soldiers, but once defeated, these people were almost unorganized.

"Hold the formation, stop the pursuit!"

On the beach, the scattered barbarians aroused the desire of the Roman soldiers to kill, however, just as the phalanx of legions was about to disperse, Caesar gave a clear command. Even though the soldiers did not hear the commander's orders very clearly, the heralds' banners and the drummer's horns clearly told the Roman soldiers all over the beach that they must stop the pursuit, because their commander would not let the legions attack, and the forest was ahead......

Rabbi Enus walked up to the Eagle Banner Brigade with bloody armor and weapons and personally announced the cessation of the Legion's pursuit. Apis only then found out that the commander of this legion was personally involved in almost every battle, fighting with the soldiers at the forefront, and the ancient Romans worshipped the god of war and obeyed those brave generals, so the generals who could personally go into battle to kill the enemy often had a high prestige in the hearts of the soldiers, but Apis did not understand that such a high-risk behavior, many generals and commanders were willing to do it.

……

"Rabienus, we are camping on this beach as the base camp for this conquest of Britain, and remember, to bring all the ships ashore, I don't want to lose half of the ships again because of the high tide, as I did last time."

After holding the legions, Caesar said solemnly to Rabienus. This is an order, a serious order, Rabienus knew Caesar's concerns, last year, the legion was because they did not pull the ships up to the beach, but only anchored under the water, causing the night when the tide was high, all the warships, transports because of the tide, refloated, and lost control and collided with each other, last year Caesar lost the opportunity to attack the interior of Britain. So this time, Caesar's most important thing is the handling of warships and ships.

The Roman legions were efficient killing machines, but also efficient construction engineering teams, after Marius reformed the legion infantry to train professional killers, but also trained each soldier to be excellent architects, they are multi-skilled, in just one night, half of the woods on the edge of the beach were cut down, the legions did not rest that night, but stepped up work, trying to build a temporary fortress at dawn to resist the British sneak attack.

Until the fortifications were completed, the Roman soldiers would never rest even if they were exhausted, which was a military rule in exchange for countless defeats of blood and tears.

In such a night, of course, Apis has to be the same as everyone else, fighting at the forefront of the work, the centurion has to direct his subordinates to carry materials, build city defenses, on the other hand, he has to do it himself, in fact, this military position is the most bitter and tiring position in the army, but the centurion of the Eagle Banner Brigade has a higher status and glory than other centurions, but at the same time, it has become more difficult to embeze and accept bribes, because Caesar is staring directly at it, who dares to be corrupt under the nose of the commander?

The sea breeze in Britain is very cool, in this era, the sea water is not polluted in the slightest, the sea breeze is naturally very cool, a bright moon hangs in the sky, the night is so charming. Listening to the sound of the waves crashing against the shore, Appis was reminded of Octavia, far away in Rome......
