"Soldier, spear!"

The Chief Centurion roared. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

The Germanic barbarian army in front of him was galloping so fast that the centurion of the Roman legion had to hurry up and give the order to throw heavy javelins, which were the most powerful round of casualties in hand-to-hand combat. Then, under the orders of their superiors, all the legionary infantry on the front line neatly picked up the heavy spears in their hands, and in a piercing whistle, the Roman legionary heavy javelins on the entire line were thrown across the line.

Dense heavy javelins suddenly appeared in the sky above the barbarian army, and then, whizzing down, piercing the bodies of many Germanic infantry with astonishing force......

The originally black barbarian army was instantly reduced in large numbers under the terrifying and neat javelin rain, and one by one the Germanic warriors were pierced through the body by the falling heavy spears, and fell in pain. More barbarian infantry were shot in arms, arms, thighs, and even heads, necks, and the whole charging battlefield was screaming and blood splattered. Many Germanic people drew their spears from their companions and tried to reflect them back, only to find that once the Roman javelin hit the human body or shield, the spearhead broke in the body, and the whole spear was useless. This made the Germanic people very angry.

The unwounded barbarian infantry charged furiously, frantically ramming against the shield wall of the infantry phalanx on the front line of Lepida.

"Steady! Brothers! ”

The centurion shouted and ordered everyone to resist the attack first. The power of the barbarian charge was staggering, and the Roman soldiers were actually much inferior in strength to the Germanic people, who were a full head taller than themselves.

After the wild collision, on the narrow front, there was a scene of a large number of people stacking and piling up people. The Germans were almost huddled together, and they stabbed the Roman soldiers hiding behind the shield wall with axes and spears, while the Roman soldiers were close to their companions, bowing their heads and holding on to the shield wall and the battle line. As long as they don't fall, when the Germanic people are dense enough to a certain extent, that's when they fight back.

Axes and spears struck the shields with incessant blows, and savage and bloodthirsty roars spread to the line, and some Germans even jumped over the Roman phalanx, slashing the Roman legionnaires wrapped in shields above the shield walls, but they were all stabbed down one by one.

Gradually, the shrill whistle of the Roman centurion sounded on the battle line, which was the order to attack...... All the legionnaires began to assassinate after being suppressed for a long time, and even if there had been sporadic counterattacks before, they were now full force assassinations. Because the Germans have never been able to break through the shield wall of the Romans, the number of people is stacked more and more, crowded in a small space, so that they can't even dodge, watching the Romans' short swords stabbed over, but because of the companions around them blocked the space to turn around, many Germanic warriors died in extreme grievance, they even used both hands to grasp the Roman short swords, but the Romans with highly developed iron smelting technology made them feel desperate, when the short swords were withdrawn, they even cut off their fingers, the scene, broken arms and stumps were all over, Blood flowed everywhere.

The furious roar of the barbarians was heard in the air, and it was clear that they fought in anger, but still blood flowed profusely.

And at this time, in the misty Germanic forest, the cavalry of the Roman legionaries under the leadership of Lepida began to move. Tens of thousands of Germanic beasts roared and attacked the Roman positions, while Lepida led two thousand legions of cavalry around the rear of the battlefield, the backs of the Germans. The barbarians had no tactics at all, they were all piled up on the frontal front, and they did not notice the changes that were taking place on either flank of the battlefield.

Then, in the earth-shattering roar of stonethrowings, Lei Pida personally led the most elite cavalry of the Northern Army to rush down the forest slope.

"Charge after me! Rome will win! ”

Under the wild roar, even though Lei Bida was over fifty years old, he still bravely fought into the crowd of the barbarian army.

The galloping horses rushed down the hillside like a surging flood and crashed head-on into the backs of the Germanic army.

The war horses were rampant, even if the Germanic people in the north were too tall and strong, they could not resist the rapid attack of the war horses, the collision process was extremely bloody, those barbarian warriors who were knocked away screamed in pain, the weapons in their hands were scattered aside, and the war horses on the back stepped on their bodies that fell into the air, splashing scarlet blood......

Swinging his sword, using the power and speed of his horse's charge, Lepida slashed the shoulder of a Germanic warrior in front of him with a single sword, and then another Germanic hunter threw a spear at him.

The galloping horse was hit by a spear, and the painful dive horse stumbled and fell to the ground, while Lepida jumped off the horse in horror just before the horse fell to the ground.

The two cavalrymen beside the commander were not so lucky, they were hit by the spears of the barbarian infantry, and they rolled off their horses miserably, and then, before they could get up, they were slaughtered by the bloodthirsty slaughter of the Germanic warriors, and the rough axes slashed wildly, cutting the Roman legionnaires in iron armor to pieces, their arms and calves scattered all over the ground, and their internal organs flowed all over this muddy battlefield.

However, a massive cavalry charge greatly shook the confidence of the Germanic people, and many barbarians who had not yet been in a state of slaughter began to flee. Under the cover of the fog, no one can clearly see which tribe it belongs to, and it will not be spurned and despised after the war.

Soon, the rout of a small group of people led to the rout of many more, and it was almost a chain reaction.

When the Roman light infantry cut into the battlefield from both flanks, more Germanic people began to panic, those flying spears constantly shot at the Germanic warriors on the front line, their tired bodies had to deal with the threat from the front and the rear at the same time, if the short swords of the Romans could still parry with axes, then the javelins from the rear made them powerless. Waves of javelins rained down through the bodies and limbs of the barbarian soldiers, and many Germans were shot alive on the battlefield.

Utirenus led the front-line blood-soaked infantry to advance, and slowly tightened its wings, gradually forming a siege on the Germanic people on the frontal front, the corpses of the fallen Germans were trampled underfoot, covered with blood and internal organs, while the remaining Germans, under the so-called ancestral glory, were engaged in an embattled beast fight......
