After three days of confrontation with Labenus's XIII Corps, Flaminius' lieutenant Trebany had to give the order to force an attack on Labiñus' camp. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 Because, for every day during these three days the men of the legion fled to the camp opposite, to the thirteenth legion of Appis, to Labinus. Although Trébany ordered the Overseers to patrol the barracks every day, it was not possible to stop the soldiers from smuggling after nightfall.

With the exception of the newly recruited Gallic Guards, the other brigades were reduced in strength. Trebany knew that if this continued, sooner or later the Legion would be shattered by flight and betrayal. In desperation, early in the morning of the fourth day, Trebany organized three brigades and a Gallic cavalry to launch the first round of onslaught against the 13th Army of Appis on the high ground.

Standing in the midst of the crowd of hoplites, on the gentle slope, Rabinus saw that down the hill, thousands of Roman soldiers of Trebany were forming a phalanx of white legions, marching towards the high ground. On either side of the main phalanx were scattered but demoralized Celtic coalition forces. There was also a sparsely numbered group of Gallic cavalry moving rapidly on the far right plain towards the edge of the Thirteenth Legion's position. The whole hill is in the shape of a trapezoidal shape with a steep front and a steep back, and the only way to get up is through the gentle slope in the middle, and Rabinus guessed that these Gallic cavalry were just the vanguard of the other side's assault, tearing through the defense line of the Thirteenth Legion and then letting the Celtic warriors who followed behind rush up and fight in close combat. Otherwise, in such terrain, the cavalry would have no other use.

When the battle began, Trebany attacked the Wild Bears, which had belonged to Anthony. In order to distinguish between friend and foe, Flamini replaced the shields of these soldiers with white square shields before the battle, and now, in front of the Thirteenth Legion, it is this innumerable white square shield, which moves one after another with the advance of the legionary infantry, like a moving wave, squeezing towards the third line of the Thirteenth Legion.

Labinus stood in the center of the legion, his soldiers already raising their heavy javelins, their faces full of determination and resentment. Flamini declared them deserters, which was not only an obliteration of glory, but also a direct erasure of their position in the legion. Deserters and warriors, in the Roman world, were two completely different classes. The soldiers of the Thirteenth Legion have to prove themselves and regain their power and position.

On both sides of the hillside, the artillery crossbows and catapults placed on the heights squeaked and creaked, and Seklas kept an eye on the direction of the enemy's advance. His gaze moved with the white phalanxes, and the angle at which the ballista was aiming lowered, trying to find the best place to shoot. Immediately, Sekras swung his sword and yelled - "Fire! Smash all these grandchildren's heads! ”

In an instant, as if dark clouds covered the sky, countless cannons and large arrows were launched from both sides of the high ground, forming an angle of fire at the phalanx of the Trebany Legion marching in the middle.

Fist-sized cannonballs rained down like drops, whistling through the sky, striking the first attacking group of Trebany down the hillside, and the scene of blood splattering was repeated. With a powerful piercing force, the large arrow pierced the large shield of the legionary infantry, and then the spearhead shot through the Roman soldiers behind the shield. The cannon shattered the steel helmets of the legionnaires with a loud roar, and flesh and brains splattered like a scattered fountain.

The shields of some of the legionnaires were shattered, and sawdust flew, beating the Roman soldiers behind the shields to the ground covered in blood. In an instant, the originally incomparably strong legion phalanx was shattered and flesh and blood flew everywhere. The dense phalanx formation was a good defensive weapon for the loose barbarian army, but it became a live target for the Roman heavy long-range weapons.

The advancing phalanx of the legions was shattered, and the Thirteenth Legion on the high ground was ready to draw their swords and cheer, but the next moment, countless ferocious and violent Gallic infantry rushed out from behind these wounded Roman soldiers and rushed up the high ground from both sides. Labienus did not know what kind of benefit Flamini had given these Gauls to make them charge so hard. But what is certain is that if Apis had put down this rebellion, these Gauls would not have come to a good end, and in recent years, Apis's methods have become more and more ruthless......

It will take time for heavy weapons to work again, and for now, in the face of the furious Celtic warriors, Rabinus can only count on the veteran defense of the Thirteenth Legion to hold steady.

Immediately, the centurions of the front gave the order to throw javelins. The Roman heavy javelin was actually quite limited in its lethality on flat ground, but when thrown condescendingly on high ground, the power was completely different. As the stunned Gauls rushed up panting with improvised shields and axes, the dense rain of javelins barely gave them the slightest room to stand.

The Gallic soldiers in the front row were hit by three or four javelins at the same time, and the scene was like a hunting spear nailed to the body of a wild beast, warm blood spilled, and the rudimentary wooden shield was useless, pierced by heavy javelins. At the first moment, almost all the Gallic infantry in the first platoon fell in an instant. The infantry behind narrowly escaped by hiding behind their teammates. However, they saw a terrifying scene, those comrades who rushed to the front, and their companions had several heavy javelins stuck in their heads. Some of the Celtic warriors were groaning in pain without being hit in the vital parts, while others were devastated on the spot.

I have to admit that the two major weapons of the Roman legions are iron discipline and a variety of dexterous tactics and weapons. A good Roman soldier had to master the use of swords, shields, daggers and spears before going into battle, as well as the ability to dig and build fortifications.

The barbarians, on the other hand, had uneven soldiers, and the wealthy aristocratic warriors had undergone professional military training since childhood, and when they grew up, they wore armor that was better than the Roman legionnaires' infantry, and used sophisticated Celtic swords, and the workmanship was not inferior to the armor and weapons made by Roman craftsmen. But their number is very limited, most of the soldiers who usually fight are poor peasant soldiers, just like these Gallic infantry in front of him, Labinus seems to have returned to the Gallic battlefield of the year, at that time, he and Caesar stood outside the city of Alesia, jointly resisting the Celtic counterattack several times their own, and these Gallic infantry in front of him obviously have lost their original sharpness......
