36. Slaughter

"Soldiers! Raise your javelins and pray that Mars is with you. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info Now, throw! ”

Chief Centurion Klein stood at the head of the Legion and loudly commanded the first column of Legion infantry to begin the attack.

The traditional Roman legion offensive tactic was to throw two rounds of javelins before engaging in hand-to-hand combat. As soon as Klein gave the order, all the Roman legionary infantry couldn't wait to throw their heavy javelins straight ahead.

As the veterans had ever seen on the bloody battlefield, these Roman recruits, trained by Abys, were in no way inferior to the Roman legionnaires in throwing weapons.

The barbarian infantry, who were still roaring one second, saw the javelins sprinkled in the sky like black rain, and the next second they all hid behind their shields with fearful faces, and they instinctively propped up their shields and made squatting movements.

However, the horrific javelin rain still dealt a fatal blow to the Deleverians. The sharp heavy javelins were hurled from the hands of the Legion's heavy infantry, making deadly arcs through the air, and then, with a terrifying penetration, pierced the shields of the Gauls. The metal spearhead pierced the Gallic animal skin shield, although the wooden shield played a certain blocking role, but many heavy javelins pierced the Gallic shield, nailed to the shield, those hapless Dravelli were stabbed in the arm by the sharp and sharp legionary weapon, unable to move, together with the whole shield, hung on the arm, became a burden, and what was even more terrible was that the Roman legion phalanx had begun to advance and approach, while the arms of the Gauls were bleeding!

"Brothers, rush in and stomp these traitors under your feet and assassinate them, their women will tremble under our crotches and beg for mercy!"

The low-ranking centurion Cleopinus shouted, and the Roman recruits, who had been "tormented" by Abyss for three months, flocked to the gap in the walls of the Dravigli like hungry beasts. Before the enemy could draw the javelin embedded in the flesh, the short sword and heavy shield of the Roman legion had already smashed in front of the opponent.

On the battle front, two black warm currents began to squeeze each other.

The Roman recruits, with a thirst for victory and wealth, stabbed their short swords into the hearts and cheeks of the enemy, and immediately, bloody scenes filled every corner of the battle line. In fact, the new army trained by Abys, it was not without real swords and guns before this, Abyss had hired gladiators in the city of Rome during the winter camp training, and fought with these recruits with real swords and guns, so most of the soldiers who remained in the end were injured and wounded. When the Gallic soldiers rushed forward with Celtic swords, even the weakest recruits could numbly raise their short swords and stab them into the enemy's armpits and chest.

The Deleverians, on the other hand, followed the Gallic style of brainless fighting, with two-handed swords in their hands, slashing down from top to bottom without skill, and were blocked by the Roman legionnaires with shields, but exposed their armpits and chests to the swords of the Roman soldiers, and then the Roman recruits raised their short swords and stabbed them in the chest like slaughtering animals. The sharp Roman short sword stabbed into the flesh, and the blood instantly covered the blade of the short sword, with the Gallic soldiers screaming loudly in pain, the legion recruits pressed their shields against the opponent's chest, and then, pulled out the short sword violently, as if bleeding the enemy, and the blood gushed from the chest of the Celtic warrior.

……

"Abys, we have already won, there is no need to question this at all, do we still need to send cavalry?"

Flaminius said as he stood beside Abys, looking at the battlefield not far away from the small high ground. The Roman governor saw a new army of murderers who were more than he knew about them, and he saw the recruits trained by Abyss like killing machines, mercilessly slaughtering the men of the tribe who resisted. Even, he doubted whether there was a need to commit cavalry. For now, Deliveli's resistance is in vain.

"Keep sending out cavalry, Flamini, you know, this time, I'm just letting these recruits come and practice."

Abyss said, a formidable coldness on his face. Flamini seemed to see the shadow of Caesar's conquest of Gaul, but Abyss was still very young, and he was more like Octavian when he grew up......

Then the drummer puffed up his cheeks and blew the horn of the cavalry attack.

A large number of Gallic cavalry and legionary cavalry rushed out like monsters vying for their prey, in the light of the rising sun.

Rolling up the dust, they stormed the already narrow streets of the Deleverian town, and Abyss was the first, and then these Roman cavalry in search of "prey" shuttled through the narrow streets and charged from the backs of the Gallic defenders......

The Dravili warriors, who focused on frontal combat, were completely unafraid of charging from the rear, and these cavalry attacked like leeks, and the lone Deliveli warriors became the targets of cavalry hunting. Except for the men who laid down their arms and surrendered, the rest of the soldiers were slaughtered by the new Roman army.

Several of Delevilli's male soldiers were barricaded in the alley, and in front of them, behind them, were red-eyed Roman soldiers. Surrendering, their women will be ravaged, their old men will be slaughtered, and children will be enslaved, and in no choice, a few Dravelli men, armed with rudimentary weapons, have launched a final charge.

Their sticks and axes slashed at the shields of the Roman hoplites, without shaking the footsteps of the legionary hoplites, and then several Roman legionary hoplites drew their short swords and, under the cover of their shields, stabbed them into the bodies of the Gallic rebels. Until their internal organs, blood flowed from their broken bodies and was all over the ground.

In the town square, the war drums invented by Abyss play a powerful military music to the rhythmic blows of the drummer. It stimulated the bloodthirsty killing of these Roman recruits who were just starting out on the battlefield. The Gauls, who were already lying on the ground and groaning and screaming, were mercilessly slaughtered by the Roman soldiers, and the short swords of the legionnaires stabbed at the Gauls who were struggling on the ground, causing their blood to pour out like a gushing spring of water, staining the whole market square. Many of the legionary recruits can be seen even searching for belongings on the dead bodies, cutting off the fingers of the Gallic soldiers with gold rings and putting the metal objects in their pockets.

Including the clothes of these barbarian soldiers, the coins in their hands, everything that can be scraped, all collected. Flamini even felt that the Roman soldiers under Abyss were more like barbarians than the Gauls......
