61. The crushing of the cavalry of the legion

"Attack! For Rome! Save Appis! ā€

In the darkness of the night, Maxim drew his knight's sword and roared as he commanded two thousand elite Roman cavalry to charge. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 info The horse's hooves run over the ground with a terrifying trampling sound. Then, the neat cavalry brigade of the Roman legions savagely rammed into the crowd of the Germanic army.

Like a silver sword tearing through the barbarian's black defense, the horses galloped, and the legionary cavalry flew everywhere they went, screaming everywhere they went.

The barbarian infantry stood in loose positions, powerless in the face of the collective charging legionary cavalry. Like the ears of wheat in autumn, they are harvested in patches and fallen. Their bodies were ruthlessly trampled by the horses, and the Germanic infantry, who had not been knocked away, were pierced by the spears of the Roman cavalry.

Maxim took the lead, with a bitter hatred for the barbarians and infinite loyalty to the glory of Rome, he swung his sword on his horse, and with a sword he cut off the head of the Germanic warrior in front of him, and the living head flew into the air, splattering blood on the face of the Germanic warrior behind, and the headless body was knocked down by the war horse and trampled......

……

"Patriarch, it's the cavalry of the Romans! Lots of cavalry! ā€

The hunters came running from the periphery in terror and told Leonie what was happening on the outer front. Obviously, compared to the violent morale of the Sucumburi people in the inner circle, the warriors on the periphery were no longer able to resist and fled in all directions.

"Damn, they're demons!"

Leonie hated these annoying alien armies and screamed in a frenzied rage. Then, the people around him looked at their patriarch in horror, waiting for her next order. The defensive network under the command of the Roman legion commander could not be broken in a short time, while the soldiers on the periphery were constantly attrition and killed and wounded under the trampling and charging of the Roman cavalry. This situation cannot last, and everyone knows it very well.

"Retreat!"

In the end, Leonie still chose to retreat, and the ambush turned into an ambush, I have to say that Appis's wisdom and command ability are maddening, seeing that the Roman legions are about to be completely annihilated, but at the most critical moment, a heavy cavalry brigade from the sky emerged. Leonie wanted to tear the cavalry apart, but she knew that she didn't have this ability, no matter how strong one person was, he couldn't fight an entire cavalry.

"Humble barbarians, you now know the fate of the rebellion against Rome, and my legions will burn your tribe with the flames of wrath, and rob your women and children to make them slaves of Rome!"

When Leonie turned around, she saw Leone's scarred face, but she was still very stubbornly angry at Leonie and her tribe. The haughty gesture and mocking and contemptuous words made Leonie burn with anger. With no one to vent her anger, and unable to let Lepida survive to be rescued by the Romans, Leonie walked over, drew the dagger from her waist, and coldly stabbed Lepida in the abdomen.

"It's the taste of pain, and I'll let you taste it enough, Roman 'heroes'. Let your minions come to your rescue, and they will see your rotting corpse, mutilated, gnawed and gnawed by wild dogs. ā€

Leonie gritted her teeth and stabbed the dagger deeper into Lepida's abdomen. Repida, one of Rome's former triumvirate, screamed and groaned in pain again. It wasn't until blood dripped and stained the ground beneath her feet that Leonie coldly pulled out her dagger and wiped the warm blood stains from her blade.

……

The tide of darkness retreated under the repeated charges of the Roman legionary cavalry, and the dead and wounded Germanic people covered the land, and the scene of blood flowing on the oars was repeated. In the terrifying battlefield, almost no corpse is complete, and some bodies have even been trampled and crushed by war horses, leaving only two thighs lying desolate on the bloody ground. The unrecognizable scene made some of the recruits feel uncomfortable and nauseous.

In the night, in the light of the fire, a Germanic warrior was pierced in the abdomen, his intestines flowed out, and he lay on the ground groaning in pain, Crane walked over, pulled out his spear from the ground, and stabbed it into the chest of the Germanic warrior without expression, and the barbarian infantry died in agony after a few struggles and convulsions. A large amount of scarlet blood continued to seep out from the spearhead.

"You've won, Appis."

Little Crassus turned to Appis and said. Behind him, there is an endless morgue...... The Germanic people filled their camps, and countless black shadows lay on the barren land, like thousands of dead beasts shedding blood.

"No, only temporarily. The Germanic people will make a comeback, and how many Germanic people are still in the Black Forest in the north, we don't know, Caesar is right, the biggest enemy of Rome in the future will be these barbarians living in the northern forest. ā€

The bloody battle made Apis temporarily relieved, looking at the battlefield that was almost a sure victory, but Apis was not at all relieved. Endless and distant wars still seem to await themselves in the north.

……

"General."

Maxim then dismounted respectfully and walked in front of Appis, not even having time to take off his bloody armor. It was here that the former legionary commander of Lepida met for the first time the Roman heroes who were praised by the Roman people.

"Maxim? You arrived in time, I agreed with you in the letter, but I waited anxiously until your reinforcements arrived, but you gave me hope. Legion Commander. ā€

In the darkness of the night, Apis looked at Maxim's bloodstained face and said solemnly as a soldier. At the same time, it is also an affirmation of the glory achieved by Maxim in this battle.

"For the sake of Rome, General. In fact, before you arrived in Gaul, I thought that my soldiers and I were going to die here, and we didn't want to be deserters, and finally, you came. ā€

Maxim's expression was distorted with excitement, but from here, Appis could also see his earthy qualities. It was like Appis meeting Rabinus for the first time, from a commoner background, with the most rustic feelings of a peasant. For a moment, Apis felt that his most effective assistant might be added to his future position.

"Let your men stop the pursuit, we need to rest, too many of our soldiers are bleeding and wounded in this battle, we need to visit them."

Appis said, placing his hand on Maxim's shoulder, but his face could not help but show a slightly tired expression.
