After advancing a short distance, Appis ordered the large forces to halt their advance.

In order to cover his ambush plan, he can't get too far ahead.

When the legion was still some distance away from the enemy, it stopped, held its shield to its chest, and the neat fiery red shield was connected together, looking from afar like a burning river of flames on the dusk steppe.

Antony, on the other hand, lost patience and ordered a large army to launch a general attack.

The loud horn sounded, and the soldiers excitedly marched forward in small steps, with the light infantry in front and the heavy troops behind. All revered the Roman legionary tradition of having the light infantry come forward and throw their spears, and then the heavy infantry engaged in hand-to-hand combat.

After a while, in the sky, arrows and hunting spears flew wildly, whizzing towards the opponent's position. The shield wall was erected, and the sound of tinkling and ding dong was continuous.

Under the same tactics, the competition is no longer discipline and tactics, but who is braver, more courageous and dares to stand in the rain of bullets.

And in this regard, it is clear that Anthony's lightly armed troops are superior, they are all allies sent by the eastern countries, and mercenaries hired by Anthony himself at his own expense. They were superior in numbers and experience, as Apis' lightly armed troops were improvised recruits. After only two months of training in Italy, he was sent to the battlefield, and he had never experienced what it meant to be bloody.

At this moment, when the wounded companion was shot through the thigh and lower abdomen with spears and javelins, the bloody and tragic scene undoubtedly broke the psychological defenses of many Roman recruits.

The swishing sound of spears flying through the air was constant, and no one knew if the javelin would hit him the next moment. One of the recruits saw the enemy's spear shoot through the head of his companion, and then the soldier collapsed like a statue. The dead companion didn't even have a convulsion, and blood flowed all over the ground, and his face was already unrecognizable.

Soon, Appis's lightly armed forces were scattered.

However, the next big play has just begun. The cavalry rushed out from the flanks, and the heavy infantry frontal bars. The bloodiest moment is coming......

In order to avenge the abuse and slaughter of his lightly armed troops at the previous moment, Appis's legionary heavy infantry, under the command of the centurion, took the lead and threw penetrating Roman heavy javelins at the enemy!

This was the weapon of the Roman legions to kill the enemy.

In a tailwind, countless legionary heavy javelins swept across the sky like locusts, densely obscuring the daylight.

Antony's phalanx of heavy infantry immediately raised their large shields, and all the soldiers knelt down and covered their shields over their heads.

In the next second, the javelin rain fell like a torrential rain at the end of summer, shooting through the chests and thighs of many people, but most of the legion's heavy infantry still used their shields to take over the bloody attack.

"Don't back down! Offensive! ”

On the other side, screams erupted, and the ground was filled with countless legions' heavy javelins, and blood was all over the ground. However, Anthony's chief centurion still shouted with his sword, ordered everyone, and attacked.

Countless whistles rang one after another, and Antony's army rushed to Appis's forward position like a mountain of mountains. The first row of Roman veterans suddenly half-crouched, their shields slightly tilted, and the whole person was firmly locked in place, ready for the most tragic impact.

The rear infantry stepped up and threw a second round of javelins.

But they couldn't wait for them to throw the javelin spears in their hands, and Anthony's large army had already rushed in front of them.

They struck their opponents with the same Roman shield, like a white wave crashing against a red, and many were knocked down, knocked over, and slaughtered by the sword. And those who stood firmly began the most violent counterattack.

Countless short swords stabbed back and forth, reflecting dazzling spots of light in the sunlight.

The sound of shouts of killing, the sound of weapons strikes, and the clashing of iron armor and strong shields resounded one after another on the entire front.

The cavalry on both flanks also quickly rushed together, huddled together and fought.

On the battlefield in the dark, Anthony couldn't find the location of Apis for a while, he initially thought that Apis was in the cavalry ranks, commanding the cavalry to fight, but when he rushed into the cavalry battlefield, he found that there was no Apis at all. Later, the knight next to him told him that Apis was in the back row of the infantry phalanx, personally supervising the battle of the legion's infantry. Now, the proud and angry Anthony has another goal.

He commanded his legionary cavalry, who considered himself the elite of a hundred battles, and charged towards the front line of the infantry frontal battlefield. Wandering all the way, he finally found Appis on a war horse, calmly watching the battle, in the center of the Gallic legion.

"This account needs to be settled, my old friend!"

The horses neighed and galloped away. At the loud horn of the charge, their infantry dodged one after another, giving way to an avenue large enough for Anthony's cavalry to charge. The sound of loud trumpets and galloping horses, and soon, the legionnaires on the opposite side of Appis also knew what was going on, and a terrible shock was coming.

"Tighten the formation and stand in a dense position!"

On the battlefield, the centurion whistled and shouted. All the legionary infantry quickly adjusted their positions and thickened the column, however, no one knew whether they could block this wave of the enemy's heavy cavalry charge.

The hoplites in the front row were ready to die...... Under the wild charge of the horses, the chances of survival of the soldiers in the first row are very small...... However, they still had to fight.

Anthony personally led the charge, which boosted the morale of not only the cavalry, but also the infantry of the legions on both sides. Immediately, the cavalry brigade stabbed like a sharp sword into the strongest heavy infantry line of Appis.

In the next moment, the shield cracked and people died, many Roman legions heavy infantry were knocked over and knocked into the air, terrible screams were heard, and the bodies of the soldiers were trampled by the war horses. Then, the iron cavalry of the legion led by Antony galloped all the way to the heart of the phalanx of Appis's infantry.

Along the way, the legionnaires were slaughtered in a frenzied manner, with stumps and severed arms flying in the air, blood splashing on the soldiers' faces, as if this was a devil's cavalry from hell......

However, just as Antony was within easy reach of Appis, Roman GIs armed with spears emerged from the dense grass.

With black cloth on their heads and paint on their faces, they looked like barbarians at first glance, but with armor and well-trained discipline, Anthony knew that they were not barbarian armies, but an ambush that Apis had deliberately ambushed here!

Anthony, who was still triumphant a second ago, is in a mess at the moment. The tidal wave of hoplites with spears and swords in their hands, constantly approaching these lone hoplites, but they were just close at hand, but they couldn't break through at all! And their own cavalry units were slaughtered by a catastrophe, and these one-man high spears seemed to be prepared for their own cavalry, and under these dense spear attacks, the horses began to neigh uneasily, and even did not listen to the command of the riders, turned around and ran wildly.

"Appis!"

In desperation, Anthony stared at Appis not far away and yelled, they were separated by a few human walls, but they couldn't get close at all.

Enraged, Anthony drew his spear from the corpse, sat on his mount, and threw it at Appis, who was watching coldly.

The spear sped over the heads of the crowd and scurried in the direction of Appis.

However, it only flew by rubbing Appis's face......
