153.The Decisive Battle (M)

"Stay in formation! Follow me on the charge! ”

Under the golden sun, Apis rode a tall Italian war horse, holding a long sword, and rushed to the Italian heavy infantry phalanx opposite Agrippa, the morale of the Germanic cavalry behind him was instantly ignited, and the blood boiled and shouted the name of Apis, and the cavalry of the Roman elite legion rushed out of the dust, like a silver shining sword into the heart of Agrippa's Italian heavy infantry!

This is a tactic that no one thought of, a picture that no one thought of! Apis was a madman, and so were the Germanic cavalry behind him! All the Italian soldiers who saw this had only one thought in their minds at the moment - this was the work of a group of madmen. Pen~Fun~Pavilion www.biquge.info Don't they know how much the cavalry will suffer from a frontal assault on the phalanx?!

But no one had time to prepare, and in the confusion, the heavy infantry of Agrippa's Italian legion in the center could not even throw their javelins, and watched as the stormy Germanic cavalry rushed in front of them.

The next moment, flesh and blood flew and screams erupted.

These Germanic cavalry who followed Appis charged at the moment of charging towards the enemy, clamped their legs, and sat firmly on the back of their horses under the fixation of the stirrups, and their flat spears pierced the armor of the Roman legion heavy infantry in front of them like a demon's sharp sword. Countless "blind" war horses with terrifying impact smashed through the heavy infantry defense line that the Romans were proud of!

Then, the blindfolded horse galloped all the way, and the Germanic rider on the horseback clamped his rifle, and the huge spear pierced the body of a Roman legionary heavy infantryman, and the thick blood splattered wantonly. Thousands of heavily armed Roman hoplites were knocked down, knocked into the air, and their bodies were ruthlessly and brutally trampled.

After rushing through the first line of defense, the Germanic cavalry drew the knight's sword and slashed at the Roman hoplites they encountered along the way, using the power and speed of their horse charge. Countless stumps and severed arms flew in the air, and blood was flooded, staining the war horses under the crotches of the cavalry.

……

Before the Italian messengers could report to Agrippa, the infantry phalanx of the 7th and 8th Legions of Appis threw deadly javelins and rushed forward to fight while the enemy was in disarray......

The three Italian heavy infantry phalanxes raised their shields in a panic, but the rain of javelins under black pressure still dealt a serious blow to the opposing formation.

Almost half of the soldiers in the front row were killed by flying spears and spears, and then the Italian hoplites, hiding under their shields, had just risen to face the savage slaughter of the Apis Germanic legions.

In the next moment, countless iron armor and shields, swords and spears intertwined and collided together.

On the front of swords and swords, flesh and blood flew and screams erupted.

Both sides are the same tactics, the same equipment, the same physical fitness, and even the same veterans of a hundred battles. The Roman legionnaires, who had been dragged north by Apis to fight the Germans for four years, were no longer the immature recruits they had been, and each of them had scars and scars on their bodies. The soldiers who survived under Germain's bloody axe were no ordinary veterans.

Chief Centurion Klein led the charge, slashing the arms of the Roman hoplites in front of him with a single sword, and then slammed his shield into the head, sending hot blood on Crane's face. The other legionnaires covered their bodies with large shields, stabbing their short swords when the enemy was not looking, stabbing the enemy's bare wrists and thighs. But Agrippa's Italian legions did the same thing, with Caesar's Gallic legionmen shielding their bodies with strong shields and occasionally stabbing their short swords out with great force. Screams continued on the battle front, and many Roman soldiers were stabbed to death by the sharp blades of these short swords......

They struggled, but once stabbed in the body, they were powerless to resist. Fight with wounds, but can't quit. No one knows when a deadly sword will be stabbed under the dense shield.

The sand and gravel flew, and blood watered the ground beneath the soldiers' feet.

"General...... Appis's legionary cavalry rushed through our central defense! ”

While the communications corps reported the situation in the center to Agrippa, Agrippa was commanding the cavalry on the right flank and the Parthian legion to encircle Appis's line. It was planned that the cavalry would deal with Appis's Germanic cavalry, while the infantry would disperse and combine to flank the large force of Appis. But now, as soon as the battle began, Agrippa panicked with such alarming news. It disrupted almost all of his plans.

"And where is that wild dog and his Germanic cavalry now!"

Agrippa roared in rage. But the communication soldier could only answer with trepidation...... Because he really didn't know. After Apis led the Germanic cavalry through Agrippa's infantry line, he continued to run wildly and disappeared from everyone's sight.

"Damn bastard! Soldier, now ride your horse to the left flank as fast as you can, tell Novenus, tell me my order, order him not to fold the infantry corps of Apis, and to assemble with my cavalry in the rear of the central phalanx, and to find the main cavalry of Apis! ”

Agrippa cursed, and then issued a temporary combat order. The signal soldier swished again and drove away.

Then Agrippa shouted orders to the cavalry behind him—

"Now, follow me and take on the beast!"

……

On the dusty battlefield, Agrippa's two cavalry teams converged in the middle, and then Apis led 3,000 Germanic cavalry from the rear to slaughter again. The cavalry of the two armies were in the rear of the battle line of the Agrippa Corps, and a battle of iron and blood began!

"Follow me, charge! Today, we will change history! ”

On the silver sparkling horse, Appis roared with his sword. Behind them, three thousand Germanic cavalry roared and charged with their commander......

The roar of the wolf, the earth trembled, and under the scorching sun, Agrippa also personally led the Roman legionary cavalry to rush towards the Germanic cavalry of Appis.

In the next moment, countless horses staggered, and war horses neighed. At the moment when the cavalry swept past each other, countless spears and cavalry spears were broken, and the legionary cavalry let out a painful and miserable scream. And at this moment, Appis's Germanic guard brought the role of the stirrup into full play. The Germanic cavalry clamped their spears and charged bravely, and after a round of charge, countless Iberian cavalry and Gallic cavalry were thrown off their horses by the huge recoil force, and Apis, less than ten people fell off their horses.

The Germanic warriors' bravery and warlike nature, coupled with the use of harness across the ages, made the balance of war quietly tilt in favor of Appis.
