The pitch-black forest, the endless dark night like an abyss, induces a wave of fear, and the occasional crow that flies by is like a death messenger, stimulating the already fragile nerves of the soldiers. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

"I took out ten Gallic slaves and bet the Legion Commander that this operation was wrong. If you look at the terrain and the forests around here, if there are barbarians in ambush, it will be difficult for us to fly out even if we have wings. ”

The Seventh and Eighth Legions marched in the middle of the night, and the long procession was like a long fiery snake shuttling through the dense forest. Centurion Quintus stood beside Appis and uttered a constant grumble, and the strong centurion judged from his many years of combat experience that at such a moment, on such a terrain, if this was a trick of the barbarians, the legion would step into the abyss from which it would never return.

"Be quiet, we don't have a choice, we're soldiers, not commanders."

Appis rode on his horse, riding in front of Quintus, and persuaded the centurion, who had always had a bold personality. Although Appis also felt deeply uneasy about such a dark night and the surrounding environment, if even he was panicking, how would his soldiers feel?

……

"Patriarch, they have entered our territory."

The moon completely submerged into the black clouds, and on this dark path, countless Roman torches floated, and the Roman legions entered the ambush circle of the Ebronian in advance, and even the surrounding air tended to be a suffocating quiet. The barbarian messengers ran barefoot across the woodlands and reported to their leader the movements of the Roman legions. Obviously, the terrain of both Sabinus and Kota had caused the Legion to quicken its pace, hoping to get the Legion through the forest trail quickly. In such a dark night, as the commanders of the legions, they also felt uneasy. In the dark night forest, it seems that countless beasts lurk, showing their treacherous eyes, staring at the marching Roman legions.

"Order the Menabians not to attack, and let the Romans enter our encirclement, and wait for our order to outflank their baggage."

Pirno whispered to his communications soldier in the grass.

The night wind blew through the trees, the leaves rustled, and the air filled with a sense of unease, and the bloodthirsty beasts approached their prey, baring their shiny fangs, unaware of their prey. The Roman legionnaires dragged their tired bodies forward.

"Quick, quick, we must get out of this forest before dawn."

On the side of the Roman legions, the centurions shouted loudly, their voices so pronounced and loud in the quiet of the night. It alarmed the birds and beasts in the forest. The centurions were also carrying out the orders of the legion commander, and Sabinus also sensed that something was wrong with the atmosphere, and ordered the army to speed up the pace again.

However, everything that should have happened happened after all......

"Be careful! Barbarian! It's the barbarians! ”

Centurion Gombris, who was walking at the back of the group, suddenly shouted, and immediately, the Roman soldiers in front looked back and saw the most terrifying picture they had ever seen in their lives. Several ignited boulders smoking, surging down the high slopes on either side of the forest trail, crushing over the ground with a terrifying roar. As the boulders rolled down, on both sides of the forest path, countless arrows and spears shot out of the darkness in an instant, flying straight towards the advancing Roman legions!

A third of the Roman legionnaires of the 9th Brigade were killed by the sudden attack of long-range blows and the crushing of boulders. The ground was littered with shattered Roman shields, broken armor of soldiers, and bloody bodies.

Immediately, countless roars and roars came from the forests on both sides, and in the darkness, countless barbarians, like devils from hell, armed with huge axes and double swordsmen, swooped down on the Roman legions on the path.

"The commander of the corps, the 9th brigade in the rear, the 10th brigade were ambushed. The barbarians are too numerous to cope with. ”

The cavalry, covered in blood, ran to the front of the legion, and reported the attack on the high-headed horses to Kota and Sabinus.

"Damn it!"

Kota yelled—

"Army, circular front, hold your position!"

The supreme commander of the legion shouted, and before the signal corps could transmit the signal, all the legion infantry quickly adjusted their pace, and the legion quickly changed its formation in just two minutes, forming a defensive formation one after another. Like a hedgehog formation, each hundred-man team gathers in a circle, the outer soldiers stand in front of them, and the legionary infantry in the rear use heavy javelins as spears, resting on the shoulders of their companions in the outer circle, looking down from the air, like a circular hedgehog array.

As soon as the legionary infantry in front and in the center adjusted their formation, countless barbarians rushed out of the darkness!

"Fight to the end, for Rome!"

Quintus drew his short sword, pointed it into the air, and roared angrily, and beside him, dozens of legion veterans immediately shouted slogans in response to the old centurion.

In less than a minute, a large number of barbarians with rudimentary weapons rushed out of the dark forest, their roars drowned out the sound of the trumpets of the Roman legions, and it was pitch black, like the end of the world, and Apis, on his horse, saw it as if it were the Battle of Teutonburg in a movie......

Two rows of barbarians pounced at the Roman infantry on the forest path in the middle at the same time. Many barbarians condescendingly charged, jumping directly into the Roman circular formation, the barbarians fought without paying attention to the rules, they were like mad beasts, bloodthirsty killing in the circular position, every time they cut a Roman soldier, their bloodthirsty desires would be satisfied, blood-red eyes, wildly wielding axes, many Roman soldiers fell in the barbarians' almost furious slashes.

Their chain mail was pierced by the barbarian's two-handed swords, and the axes slashed at the shoulders of the legionnaires, and the top of their heads made a crisp cracking sound. With brains flowing and blood pouring out, this is not a battle, but a massacre. Countless wild beasts are pounced on the Romans who have no way to escape.

"Appis!"

On the battlefield of flesh and blood, Apis saw Sabinus galloping on a war horse in the blood mist. The old legion commander rushed towards his side with difficulty under the escort of the general's guard, and there were constantly barbarians trying to knock down the emaciated legion commander from both sides, the old legion leader waved his short sword with difficulty, stabbing the barbarian infantry to death one by one, and in the neighing of the war horse, Appis didn't know what order the old legion commander who promoted and reused himself next was going to issue to himself, but no matter what kind of order, in such a battlefield, it tended to be useless, and everyone was fighting the trapped beast at the moment, rather than an effective counterattack......
