"Rush with me, stay in formation, for the sake of Rome!"

The horn of the legionary charge sounded behind him, and Mark Antony took the lead, holding his short sword aloft, and led the Roman cavalry to charge into the cavalry brigade of the Gauls. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Behind them, hundreds of archers carried by the Germanic cavalry rolled over and jumped off their horses, pulled their bowstrings on the ground, and soon the first wave of arrows swept through the sky like locusts, and sprinkled in the direction of the Gallic cavalry!

"Damn it, raise your shields!"

Urriel shouted at the rapid rain of arrows from the opposite side, but it was too late.

Hundreds of Gallic cavalry fell in a pool of blood under the dense rain of arrows from the Germans, and their horses either neighed with arrows and fell to the ground with their masters, or turned back in terror. Before the hand-to-hand engagement, the morale of the Gallic cavalry had been greatly reduced.

"Damn, these Romans hired Germanic cavalry!"

Urel regretted that he had not listened to Vicintoli's advice, but it was too late, the Roman cavalry and the Germanic madman cavalry on the opposite side had already rushed madly, they were like beasts that did not want to die, and in the dust, Urriel had to make a desperate bet, and ordered all the cavalry of the Gallic tribes who had not been hit by the arrow, to hold on to the reins and continue to charge.

Soon, the Roman cavalry and the Gallic cavalry collided bloody and savagely, and at the moment when the cavalry collided with each other, hundreds of Gallic cavalry and Germanic cavalry were knocked away by the powerful and terrifying impact and fell to the ground. The spear snapped under the terrifying impact, and the flesh made a sound of shattering bones and snapping arms.

However, the terrifying charge did not stop there, and on the battle line, the two teams of war horses and cavalry still followed the direction of their respective charges and fell into the enemy's position. On the battle line, there were constantly terrifying scenes of war horses whistling past, cavalry being pierced by spears, and war horses also neighing miserably because of their collision with each other. Although the terrifying impact force was shocking, it was also bloody, and some cavalrymen were trampled by other horses after being knocked over and dismounted, and their bodies were directly trampled into meat sauce, blood and deformed internal organs, and organs were squeezed out. Sprinkled all over this savage and bloody battlefield.

After the two groups of horses collided with each other, the cavalry battlefield began to turn into a bloody fighting battlefield, at this time, the Germanic cavalry began to play its madman-like tactics, they jumped off the horses, held the spears in both hands, did not entangle with the Gallic cavalry on horseback, but rushed directly to the side of the horse, with this spear more than two meters long to stab the Gallic cavalry horse in the abdomen, the Gallic cavalry horse was stabbed through the abdomen by a sharp spear, neighed in pain, the front hooves were raised high, and the Gallic rider on horseback fell off the horse.

The Gallic cavalry that fell off their horses was either crippled or seriously wounded, and it was then that the Germanic cavalry rushed forward and killed the fallen Gallic riders with daggers, sticks, and even stones.

The primitive and barbaric method of warfare, but very effective, was the cavalry of the Germanic people, and the cavalry of these barbarians in later generations even stepped on the infantry phalanx that the Romans were most proud of, although at this time, the legion phalanx still had a certain deterrent effect on these barbarian cavalry.

……

"Legion, attack!"

On the frontal battlefield, Rabienus received a signal from Antony from the flank, and directly ordered the phalanx of the first column to start advancing.

The majestic horn sounded, and all the legionary infantry knew that the time had come for a counterattack. All the elite regimental infantry in the first platoon began to push back towards the enemy under the orders of their respective centurions.

Between the shields and shields, the Gallic soldiers who tried to squeeze in were all stabbed to pieces by the sharp Roman short swords. Blood splattered, and on the line of the veterans, the phalanx of the legions desperately squeezed the opposing line in the unified whistle of the centurions.

All the legionary infantry clenched their big shields and shouted in unison, and the voices converged into sound waves, wave after wave, and the shield wall advanced little by little. All the legionnaires in the first row used their shields to block the barbarians' indiscriminate slashing, and then, with great mercilessness, the daggers stabbed very quickly, sword after sword, each sword accompanied by the screams of the Gallic soldiers in pain. The front of the legion advanced little by little, and the blood soon stained the ground under the feet of the soldiers, and we stepped on the corpses and blood of the enemy to advance, and the real as Caesar said, the Roman legion was advancing like this at this moment.

Appis clenched the big shield and fought with the soldiers at the forefront, the short sword stabbed out from behind the shield again and again, stabbed into the enemy's eyes, stabbed into the enemy's face, stabbed into the enemy's throat, the battle was so bloody, Appis didn't even have time to think about what to do next, the action of assassination has become a conditioned reflex, watching the enemy's blood shoot in front of him, this scene has become numb.

"For Rome!"

Rabienus shouted, and beside him, dozens of elite veterans collectively slammed their shields into the barbarian battle line, and many Gallic soldiers were hit by the undulating shield wall before they even had time to attack, and then, Rabienus did not give these Gauls a chance to get back on their feet, and the legionnaires quickly advanced, and the soldiers in the back row, holding short swords, quickly and brutally harvested the Gauls who had been knocked to the ground and had no time to get up and flee.

The blood of the Gauls was splashed in front of the Roman soldiers, and the battlefield was more like a slaughterhouse.

However, it was Antony's cavalry units that really caused the collapse of the Gauls.

At the height of the battle, Antony led the remaining Germanic cavalry from the rear of the Gauls and launched a deadly charge.

The encirclement tactics that Vicintoli had hoped for were perfectly used by the Romans, and when the charging horns of the Germanic cavalry in the rear sounded, the infantry of these Gallic tribes completely collapsed.

Once again, they were scattered across the great plain like a fleeing herd.

"Kill them all!"

With victory in hand, Caesar finally gave the final order. The 20,000 legionary infantry, like a pack of robbers and bloodthirsty beasts, seized the fleeing Gallic soldiers along the way, and all the Gallic infantry were bloodily slaughtered except for the Gallic soldiers who made the surrender maneuver.

Throughout the battlefield, the rout of the Gallic army and the pursuit of the Roman army formed a spectacular "hunting" picture.

"Retreat, retreat!"

Eventually, even Vicintoli had to give the order to retreat in general. The Gallic tribal coalition ended their first head-to-head confrontation with the Roman legions in a messy flight......
