83. Bloody Tribal Alliance

The legion was advancing, and for several days, although it encountered a lot of resistance, it was a small number of barbarian guerrilla troops, and there was no threat except for harassment. It was not until two weeks later www.biquge.info Caesar's legions arrived on the outskirts of Lencam, the largest town in Britain, that the barbarians gathered a large number of troops and fought again with the Roman legions......

The barbarians chose to fight in an open grassland area, where there were no tall trees, no hills and recesses, and a plain with a flat river, perhaps even the Romans themselves did not understand why the barbarians of Britain chose such a plain to fight. Don't they know the power of the Roman legionary phalanx? Attacking the Roman phalanx head-on, they had no advantage and would only be crushed by the legions.

The Roman legionary infantry marched in orderly steps, dressed in heavy chain mail, and in front of them were a large number of British tribal warriors, who appeared in the sight of the Romans, still the same as before, unorganized, undisciplined, without a single piece of armor, with only a rudimentary shield in their hands, a hunting axe or spear, and this was the difference in equipment between the two sides. The only advantage the Britons had was their numbers, almost twice the number of Roman legions.

The Ninth Legion, the Tenth Legion, first on the orders of Caesar, advanced towards the positions of the Britons. The 11th Corps was left behind, and the 13th Corps was left behind, in case the line was breached, and there were talented reserves in the rear to be on top.

Across the battlefield, the footsteps of the legionnaires trampled the ground into dust, and the black eagles hovered overhead, as if they were about to witness the largest battle of the British conquest.

More than 10,000 legionary infantry marched in unison, while the barbarians swarmed up again. They gave up their bow and arrows, and rushed straight up with axes and spears, for several battles had shown that the use of bows and arrows against Roman legions was tantamount to stabbing a bison with a bee's sting, and that no harm would be done.

In the dust, the eagle couldn't see how many soldiers were still hidden behind the front lines of the two armies. All I know is that this is a fight between beasts, and both sides have even given up long-range attacks, and everything is only bloody assassination, slashing.

"Steady! Get ready. ”

The first row of Roman legionnaires stopped their advance under the orders of the legionnaire commander and centurion, and they held their shields straight on their chests, and the huge Roman shield was more than a meter high, almost covering the whole body of the legionnaires.

In the dust, the Roman legions gave up hedging, because the barbarian soldiers were significantly stronger in size and strength than the Roman soldiers, and the legions had to use phalanx tactics and stack shield walls instead of hedging against the barbarians.

The barbarian armies of Britain roared and roared, and the earth trembled under the trampling of tens of thousands of warriors......

The legionnaires, shields in hand, stared straight ahead, their armor covering almost their entire body, ready to meet the barbarians' all-out onslaught.

This kind of scene Apis has experienced countless times, but every time, it shocks Apis, this spectacular scene of the whole infantry charging in the era of cold weapons always stimulates Apis's sensitive nerves again and again. Every otaku has a heroic heart, and Apis is no exception, when the earth trembles and the legion slogan is roared, even the cold-blooded people will be enthusiastic, but the veterans will kill more and more bloodthirsty and cruel after entering the battle, and the recruits will be consumed by fear. Until becoming a deserter, or becoming the enemy's meat sauce under the knife.

But Appis had apparently left the camp of the recruits. In the next second, the barbarian rushed up furiously and crashed into the Roman shield wall.

Feeling the violent impact in front of him, like a shock wave hitting the shield, the pressure was extremely strong, countless flesh and blood bodies hit the shield wall of the Romans alive, Apis could barely support the fall of his body, and the legion veteran behind him resisted the centurion's back to death, giving this "son of the gods" a chance to regain his footing.

Apis grabbed the shield tightly, the centurion must fight with the soldiers at the forefront, this is the military regulations of the Roman legions, the brave and good warrior centurion will win the respect of the soldiers, of course, Apis can not let his men laugh, the strength of the Celts is still very strong, after hitting the shield wall, the barbarians on all fronts hold axes, long swords, and slash towards the dense shield wall.

As long as they grasp the slightest crevice, these barbarians have a frenzied axe and long sword to slash in.

Once again, above the shield wall of the Legion's phalanx, the Britons roared like beasts, and the axes fell like torrential raindrops, making a clattering sound.

The barbaric battle has begun, if the roar of the barbarians is like a beast, irregular, without rhythm, then the drumming of the Roman legions is like a rhythmic and powerful tide, Apis gave the order for the drummers to beat the brass drums, and soon, the drummers of the legions began to beat the brass drums on their waists, two small wooden sticks, one copper drum, can glow with infinite charm, and the legionnaires began to fight excitedly in the rhythmic sound of the brass drums.

Soon, on the whole front, began to appear a strange scene, the Roman legions, who have always paid attention to calm and cold, moved frantically in the sound of drums, they assassinated the Celts who rushed up, the short swords in their hands waved rhythmically with the sound of drums, all the Roman soldiers were like a mad beast, fighting with great excitement in the rapid beating of drums.

The barbarians may also be inexplicably excited by this peculiar music, but most of the people in their back row can't hear it clearly, the fighting on the front line is so intense, the screams and the sound of weapons will be mixed with the drums, plus the drummers are beating on the side of the legion, most of the barbarians can't actually hear it, can't hear it clearly, only the barbarian infantry who rushed into the Roman phalanx, will hear this sound, but when they hear it clearly, countless Roman short swords have already stabbed them into the body......

In the tide of bloody battles, Apis grabbed the shield tightly, the sharp legion short sword was stabbed back and forth in his hand, and no less than five barbarians fell in the assassination of Apis, this bloody assassination can stimulate the bestiality of human beings the most, the broken internal organs were scattered all over the place, blood flowed everywhere, screams were everywhere, some assassination actions were more cruel, directly stabbed the short sword into the opponent's face, with broken cheeks, the enemy didn't even have time to scream and fell limply, the blood rushed out with the drawing of the short sword, everyone's face, They were all stained with blood.
