"Juninho, watch your flanks, the cavalry will cut into the battlefield from your flank, don't let them be attacked on both sides!"

The battle between Apis and Nikulas was inevitable, and Anelka was on a galloping carriage, heading for it, but neither Apis nor Nikulas knew it until then. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoThe two sides only confronted each other on the coast for two days before they began to fight.

The two legions of Obius covered each other and marched in a long line towards the phalanx where Apis and Crassus the Younger were. The soldiers were all fully dressed, their armor was bright, and in the bright morning sun, the soldiers clenched their javelins in their hands. The tactics of the battles between the Roman legions were basically the same, which meant that the civil war would be more brutal than all the foreign wars.

Appis rode on the flank, and after briefly explaining the precautions of the centurions on the flank, he led the five hundred Gallic cavalry to disperse and run towards the high ground. Prepare to charge before the enemy gets close to you, and whether it is the next battle against Pompey's cavalry or the infantry, favorable terrain is always one of the most important factors. Even if you have to use some stamina before climbing the high ground.

At the same time, Obius also personally commanded his cavalry, moving to the flank of the phalanx of Appis and Crassus the Younger, Rome experienced the war with Hannibal, and almost all Roman generals knew that on the battlefield, if you want to defeat a large number of enemies, it is important to flank and raid in the rear. It's just that the key to the battle is to focus on whose cavalry is stronger.

"Soldier, prepare!"

In the middle, little Crassus still dutifully commanded the first infantry brigade, raising the javelin above his head. Because the enemy is about to enter the firing range.

The Roman heavy javelin, although not as long as the bow and arrow, was one of the most powerful and terrifying long-range weapons of its time. The strength of the legionary veterans who followed Caesar in Gaul was also due to the fact that after being hit with a round of javelins, they would not break down, but would continue to stand up and fight between the corpses and flesh of their comrades.

……

Thousands of legionary infantry marched neatly on the battlefield, their formations so neat, and the trumpets kept sounding, ordering these infantry phalanxes to keep advancing. Everywhere they passed, there was a storm of sand. The earth trembled and prepared for an impending bloody battle.

"Soldier, prepare!"

Little Crassus roared again. The herald beside him also held his breath at this moment. The hour of blood and wind is coming. Through the dust, the soldiers could already see the huge formation coming from the opposite side.

The next moment, Marcus Crassus swung his sword forward, the herald commanded the banner, the military horn sounded, and all the centurions received the order of the regimental commander at the first time. When the whistle sounded, thousands of bullets of heavy javelins were sprinkled on the Roman legions on the opposite side like a storm on the front two rows.

And the army of Obius on the opposite side, almost at the same time, ordered by Nikulas, threw the first wave of javelins at the army of Crassus the Younger and Appis.

Suddenly, a spectacular rain of spears appeared in the sky, and the heavily armed javelins on both sides staggered in the air, and the dense spear throwing even obscured the sky for a moment. And then it rained down like a torrential rain!

In the next second, on the front line of the two sides, there were suddenly bursts of terrifying wails. The limbs of the soldiers were pierced by flying spears, and countless javelins pierced into the phalanx of the legions. Many of the soldiers in the front row didn't even have time to raise their shields before they were impaled by whistling javelins. The fallen soldiers lay on the front line of the Legion. Their blood instantly stained this battlefield that had not yet been fought in close combat.

"Attack!"

Then, before the other side could put things in order, the centurions on both sides immediately blew the whistle for attack. This is a civil war, the opponent is like himself, his heel is unstable in the heavy casualties, at this moment, whoever can bravely charge and take advantage of the situation to break the opponent's defense line will win the battle.

Therefore, the battle at the moment depends more on the personal qualities and combat experience of the soldiers.

And in this regard, Caesar's army was significantly stronger.

The veterans of Crassus Jr. and Apis, who immediately shook themselves from the blood-colored throw, drew their legionary daggers at their waists, held their shields to their chests, and formed a shield wall with the rest of their comrades, and fiercely advanced towards the Pompey coalition on the opposite side.

On Nikulas's side, although the soldiers also wanted to respond to the centurion's orders, their movements were noticeably slower. They were not trained in the Gallic wars, as Caesar's army was. Although the centurions who served as centurions of each centurion were veterans of Pompey's men, their bravery could not lead to the bravery of an entire brigade. After the first round of javelin throwing, many of Pompey's recruits were already terrified of war.

But the legionary veterans of Crassus Jr. and Appis did not give the recruits on the other side time to ease and adapt, and rushed to kill them.

"Fight to the end!"

Nikulas then shouted. He even dismounted and fought with the lowest-ranking Ten.

Bloody dust rose and the hoplites on both sides engaged in a bloody battle in the midfield.

The heavy javelins were abandoned, the sharp legionary daggers were drawn, and the soldiers fought savagely and brutally in the cracks of the shield walls. Their daggers stabbed mercilessly into their foes, and then, with brutality, were drawn with cruelty. Watch the enemies in front of you fall painfully in front of you, and then, step on their corpses and continue to move forward and continue to fight.

Little Crassus, protected by several hoplites, rushed to the front line, boosting the morale of the legionnaires. In almost every battle of the Roman War, the commander was on the front line, and it was not surprising that Crassus the Younger. Wielding a fine Roman dagger, he grabbed a panicked Pompey recruit and brutally thrust the dagger into his abdomen, then watched as the recruit's terrified face became distorted and painful. With another sword, Marcus Crassus drew another short sword and stabbed the soldier into the abdomen again. It wasn't until the intestines flowed all over the floor that little Crassus stopped the slaughter of him.

The veterans of Pompey were very good at commanding the pillars of the phalanx in battle. While fighting the bloodthirsty and savage slaughter of Caesar's legion veterans, they commanded and ordered their recruits to form a defensive line to continue to resist Caesar's veterans' spurts and attacks.

On the battle line, the blood mist was filled, countless limbs, and heads were unloaded by the short swords of the Roman soldiers, and in the most intense battle, every second, five or six soldiers had their limbs cut off and their bodies pierced. Blood stained the earth, and the veterans fought in blood, every step was blood, and even when they stepped on it, they could splash a pool of blood.

Nikulas also took the lead, he stood in the center of the phalanx, when the flag bearer next to him was cut by Caesar's veteran, Nikulas took the flag in time, and then, he stabbed his sword into the chest of the Caesar veteran who assassinated the flag officer, and in the chest, the blood splattered and stained Nikulas's face red. Then, with even more brutality, he leveled the dagger and continued to thrust forward, piercing the veteran in the chest. Warm blood gushed from his chest, and Nikulas thrust his flag into the body of the fallen Caesar soldier. Then he ordered all the soldiers around him, the centurion, to take the place where the banner was laid as the battle line, and no one was allowed to take a step back, and those who violated the order would be punished with the harshest punishment when they returned.
