296.General Attack (B)

"Attack! The first to take the head of Apis, a reward of ten thousand sesterels! ”

In the midst of the flames, Anthony personally went to the front line to supervise the battle. The legionnaires around them saw that the commander was fighting with them, and their morale suddenly increased. Everyone squeezed to climb up. But in terms of fortifications, Appis's soldiers also fought back fiercely. Asphalt and tar were poured into cans and cans.

The flames smoked everyone's faces to ashes, and in the fierce battle, Antony's legionnaires climbed up on the corpses of their comrades, and gradually one or two of Alexander's legionnaires climbed the walls of the fortifications, and were smashed down by Appis's legionnaires with short swords and hammers. Blood and brains splattered wildly.

Klein grabbed a spear and stabbed an Egyptian soldier as he climbed the wall, and the Egyptian soldier was stabbed beyond recognition, and blood fell down the ladder, smashing the crowd behind him into a large hole. Overwhelmed four or five of his companions who were on the ladder preparing to climb the wall.

Then, a stone projectile from Anthony's catapult shattered an earthen fortification in a devastating manner. The earthen wall suddenly collapsed.

At this moment, outside the camp, the bloodthirsty and crazy Roman infantry, like a group of blood-stained zombies, instantly poured into this small gap.

The situation was urgent, and Crassus Jr. personally led his team to rush down the wall, blocking the frantically influx of Roman troops at the gap.

From outside the gap in the wall, javelins and hunting spears constantly flew. Shoot the legionnaires of Appis defending the gap. Everyone knows that to rush in is to win. Because Antony's legion was much larger than that of Appis.

In this way, the two forces blocked the gap and fought repeatedly, and sometimes, on Appis's side, pushed Antony's army back a little, and sometimes, Antony's army advanced a little more. The front fluctuated repeatedly. The corpses of the dead soldiers were piled up here, blood flowed everywhere, and the soldiers fought almost stomping on the blood and internal organs of their enemies and comrades.

……

"Maximus, this battle has reached its most dangerous moment, and now, as the commander of my cavalry, you will rush out from the southeast gate of the camp with all my cavalry troops, and then, launch a general attack on the rear of Antony's large army. Remember, your actions will determine the outcome of the entire campaign. I led the soldiers in the camp to defend the gap. ”

At the height of the decisive battle, Apis made a bold decision to have Maximus lead all his cavalry to break out of Antony's encirclement and charge from the rear of Antony's army.

Seeing Apis trust him so much, Maximston was so grateful that he burst into tears. Immediately, he jumped on his horse and summoned all the Germanic and Gallic cavalry in the barracks with great pride. They make a desperate charge.

Even if the number of enemies is more than ten times theirs.

With that, Appis put on the striking red cloak, drew his dagger, and walked down the fortifications to the gap in the wall where the soldiers were most dense.

"Fabsals, Rubius, Sticker...... Now, follow me and squeeze those savage enemies back. Rome cannot be defiled by foreign rulers, and today you are fighting not only for your wives and children, not only for that wealth and glory, but also for the future of the Republic! ”

In the midst of the bloody battle, Apis rushed to the front of the battle, shouting the names of each centurion. And the shouts inspired all the soldiers and generals LinkedIn to fight bravely. If this gap is breached, Rome is in danger. Because it's a decisive battle.

The soldiers of the Gaul, Spanish, and Germanic legions could not help but be enthusiastic when they saw the commander himself join the battle. Fight to squeeze your opponent back. And the two legion commanders personally joined the battle, which also made the battle for the gap extremely fierce.

Many soldiers were even stabbed to death in the crowd with one sword after another, and there was no room for struggle, and they were caught between the gaps in their shields, until they were stabbed by the short swords, and fell to the ground in convulsions. Then their bodies were trampled and unrecognizable.

In the scuffle, little Crassus, under the protection of the shield wall, stabbed his short sword from above the shield wall and pierced the cheek of an Anthony Roman soldier, blood sprayed on the shield, and the beautifully decorated ivory-handled short sword had turned into a scarlet blood sword.

The blood on it solidified layer after layer, and even the broken internal organs were stuck to the blade, which was miserable.

Gradually, the sky became darker, and the cold rain fell.

Pouring through the armor and clothing of the front-line soldiers, the rain washed down, and the ground continued to flow with a faint splash of blood. For several Roman hours, everyone huddled in the gap and fought and fought until both sides were exhausted.

At this time, with the roar of thunder, the cavalry of the Germanic legions led by Maximus roared.

Stepping on the muddy earth, the horses neighed and the spears sparkled.

"For Rome! For Appis! ”

Riding on a tall Italian horse, Maximus roared with all his might. Behind him, a Roman cavalry regiment of 5,000 Germanic cavalry and Gallic cavalry rushed to the rear positions of Antony's army like a raging flood. Antony's Roman cavalry tried to stop it, but it was too late. This Germanic cavalry, at the moment of the decisive battle, rushed with beastly strength and rushed directly to the rear of Antony's infantry group.

In the next second, countless cavalry spears pierced the infantry's body, making a terrifying piercing sound. The Germanic cavalry roared and charged, and their horses smashed the Roman soldiers in their way. The legionary infantry along the way avoided one after another, but the more they did, the more they let these legionary iron cavalry run rampant.

One by one, Antony's legionnaires were overturned, knocked down, and even knocked into the air by the powerful charging force of their horses. Blood poured out, and shattered limbs were scattered everywhere. The Germanic cavalry led by Maximus was like a devil's sword that pierced the rear of Antony's black crowd.

With his sword in hand, Maximus severed the arm of one of the legionnaires, who had his left arm amputated and stumbled to the ground, screaming in pain, but was soon drowned out in the panic of the crowd.

"Vilcaeus, take the Gallic cavalry to deal with Antony's Greek cavalry, and I will continue the charge with these men. Fast! ”

During the bloody battle, Maximus shouted to the adjutant beside him.

The cavalry captain Vilceus immediately took the order and led two thousand heavily armed Gallic cavalry out of the crowd and assembled at the rear of the battlefield. As soon as they were assembled, Anthony's large cavalry force burst in.

The two armies were in the rear of the battlefield, launching a savage and bloody hedge.

In the rainstorm, the two cavalry rushed towards each other murderously, which was a decisive battle between men. All the sons and daughters were left behind. Riding spears, swords, bows and arrows, spears, and slay the oncoming riders.

In the next second, countless war horse figures staggered, hundreds of legionary cavalry were cut off from their horses, their bodies were either pierced by cavalry spears, or cut off by long swords, Vicous himself was also heavily injured, his arm was cut open by the long sword of the enemy cavalry, and the blood flowed incessantly. However, in such a bloody battlefield, there is no possibility for all commanders to rest, unless you die in battle and your lieutenant takes the command.

Enduring his wounds, Vilceus regrouped the Gallic cavalry after the charge and prepared to charge again against Antony's Greek cavalry. Although they were outnumbered by their opponents, like their commander Appis, the Gallic cavalry was tasked with dragging each other, and Operation Sword was left to Maximus. Let the Germanic cavalry carry it out.
