"Steady!"

Apis shouted. In front of the www.biquge.info of the Pen, Fun and Pavilion, the dense Gauls were wrapped in iron chains, and they marched side by side, their drums constantly beating behind them, inspiring the barbarians to attack frantically.

Appis could guess that at this moment, Vicintoli was probably anxious in his heart, he saw tens of thousands of Gauls coming forward one after another, blood-stained earth attacking the positions of the Roman legions, and at the same time, he also saw that the phalanx of the Roman legions could hold out for so long under such a fierce attack. They just kept retreating, but there was no sign of collapse. Even if it is true that the Gallic army was much larger than the Roman legions.

"Steady!"

The Celtic walls were still advancing, like a raging wind and waves, approaching the second line of defense of the Legion. Appis was covered in blood and stood with all the legionary infantry. Shouted loudly again. Stabilize the mood of the soldiers. All the Roman soldiers were in the same mood as Appis, staring intently at the thin, camouflaged layer of earth on the way of the Gauls. Once the barbarians were trapped in that trench, it was time for the Roman soldiers to attack.

"Steady!"

The enemy was in sight, and even some Gallic soldiers threw stone bullets and spears at the side of the legionary phalanx again, but Appis still held his breath and ordered everyone not to act without permission and to continue to hold steady.

……

"Boom ......"

Finally, when the Gauls were less than twenty paces away from the legion's position, a large number of Gallic soldiers rushed into the trap dug by the Roman soldiers like a flood of despair. Or rather, they didn't rush in, but were dragged in one by one. A large number of Gallic soldiers were bound with heavy chains, and when the soldiers in front of them fell into the pit, they also dragged their companions into the pit. When a long iron chain was tied to many of their companions, the Gallic soldiers behind reacted again, and it was impossible to hold their companions, they were forcibly dragged into the pit, and the whole Roman legion's position was dusty.

With the screams of the Gauls, the Roman legions began to attack.

Vicintoli may never have dreamed that the new army he had cultivated in two years would fall short under the calculations of a Roman centurion.

A large number of Gallic soldiers were dragged into the pit, the trap was not deep, and there were no terrible stakes or swords in it. However, many Gauls fell unprepared, as Appis had imagined, and the half-man-high trench was enough to inflict wounds or fractures on the skin of many.

The Roman infantry, under the orders of the centurion, slaughtered the Gauls in front of them......

The Gallic soldiers who had been trapped in the pit were half in the dirt, with only their upper bodies exposed, and before they could stand on their feet, the Roman soldiers rushed forward. Many Gauls were pierced in horror by the short swords of Roman soldiers, javelins.

If the battle just now was a close battle, then at this moment, the Gauls, who were trapped in the pit, became the targets of the slaughter of the Roman soldiers. They raised their weapons and shields resisted, however, the infantry of the Roman legions condescendingly threw javelins, and the barbarian soldiers had no strength to defend at all.

Moreover, there is no possibility of them escaping. Because he was entangled in iron chains around his waist, he was tied to more than a dozen comrades, and when his comrades-in-arms died, it was impossible for him to drag the corpses of a dozen comrades-in-arms and escape from the battlefield. In addition, the height of the pit is just enough for many Gauls to climb out, at least they need to lift their entire legs, and they also need to use the strength of their arms to climb out of the pit. However, by this time, the Roman javelins, spears, had already stabbed at them, nailing their bodies into the dirt......

Under the bloody massacre, the morale of the Gauls collapsed, even if the soldiers in the back did not want to retreat at first, and did not want to flee, but when they saw their companions, comrades-in-arms, and rivers of blood flowing in front, all the Gallic soldiers in the back row still could not control their fear, and turned their heads and ran. The role of the chain is to keep the whole team of soldiers moving in unison, and as long as half of the soldiers are still fighting, the other half of the soldiers cannot escape. It is also necessary to participate in the battle. This was the original intention of Vicintoli to use the iron rope tactic. But if all the people in this team seem to have fled, then this chain of iron will become a useless scrap iron, which will at most slow down the flight of the soldiers, and then, just in this way, they will be caught up by the Romans who are slaughtering like crazy, and they will either become prisoners or be killed on the spot.

"Chase it out, now!"

Appis shouted, and everyone rushed out. The Roman soldiers trampled on the corpses of the Gauls in the pit and rushed forward in a frenzy, chasing down the fleeing Gallic allies.

The entire shallow trench was almost filled with the corpses of the Gauls, and the Roman soldiers only had to step on their heads or bodies to cross this trench, but the Gauls did not have the courage to rush up again.

The battlefield turned into a slaughterhouse.

At this time, Antony's cavalry had just defeated the Gallic cavalry of Vicintoli. It should be said that the Gallic cavalry did not lose the whole battle, and if they lost, they lost to the Gallic infantry group, which still did not have the qualities of the Roman legions. At most, they underwent temporary military training in Vicintoli, and not like the Roman soldiers, who from the day they joined the legions, each of them underwent a rigorous military training every day. The Roman legions were professional armies, while the combined forces of the Gauls were at best a makeshift peasant rebel army......

Standing high on the battlefield, Vicintoli looked at the defeat of the Gallic tribal coalition and his heart was shattered. But he still had to order the rest of the men, who had not yet joined the battle, to retreat. This only chance to defeat the Roman legions disappeared before him, and the crushing defeat heralded that Caesar would once again gain the initiative in Gaul. The Gallic tribal alliance, which had supplied an army of 200,000 troops, was now the object of plunder by Roman soldiers.

"Caesar, victory is yours."

Rabienus walked up to Caesar and said to Caesar with joy.

Caesar's answer, however, was this—"No, victory belongs to each and every one of us, to every Roman who has participated in this battle today." ”

Caesar stood on the high ground as the wind from the battlefield swept across his face, and after this battle, the Roman legions would once again take the initiative on the battlefield of Gaul.

"Order the soldiers, go after the barbarians until dark!"

Caesar commanded loudly, and at the same time, the heralds rode their fine horses and galloped into the valley, conveying the commander's orders to each centurion. (To be continued.) )
