108. The knife is like a tiger
The majestic army of the Saxons is marching with unstoppable momentum, and the leader of the Saxon coalition, Kalas, has a serious face, even if the enemy is weak, he must show the spirit of a lion fighting a rabbit. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Under the helmet are serious Saxon tribes, they are all serious, Kallas stands in the center of the front row of the queue, in order to boost morale, this is the characteristic of the barbarians in battle, even if they are incompetent and cowardly barbarians, most of the main generals will take the lead, this is a kind of power, but also a kind of responsibility.
The barbarians, even if they were vulnerable, were much stronger than the Romans, who were accustomed to their comfort.
With the sound of loud footsteps, the formation of 15,000 people walking in unison made the entire earth tremble, and Ye Feng's side did not move, Ye Feng's phalanx spread out wider than the barbarian coalition army, so the phalanx was also thinner and easy to penetrate.
Ye Feng rode his horse back and forth to boost morale, so that all the soldiers could see him as the commander, in order to stabilize the morale of the soldiers.
All the Huns saw the power of the Damagram saber before the battle, which was simply beyond human imagination, and all of them believed that this was a divine weapon forged from heaven with unimaginable magical power.
And whoever holds this magic weapon will be able to win the war!
The morale of the Huns was surging like a wave that was bigger than a wave, but all the Huns were silent, they were veterans who knew how to conserve their strength, and these Scythian herders knew how to survive better.
An army with a winning spirit is difficult to defeat, and Kallas knows this deeply, so when the Saxon warriors who have chosen his side are killed, he hesitates, he is ready to retreat, but he has to shoot, and his greater source of confidence is the number of soldiers, he still has 5 legions, while the Huns only have 2 legions, and Kallas has never taken this group of slaves like beggars in his eyes.
However, he never knew how attractive freedom was to slaves.
Kalras wields an oval shield, which is mostly used by the Saxons behind him, but half of it is round. Because the defensive area of the oval shield is large, it is arranged in the first few rows.
The oval shield is 75 centimeters wide and 120 centimeters long, with a convex appearance and a flat arc, it is made of two thin planks, covered with cloth or skin, and the inside of the shield held by Kalas has a concave hole, and a grip that holds the shield in place to prevent it from bending.
The Saxons rarely had chain mail, they mostly wore leather armor and cloth clothing, and shields were their only defensive weapons.
The sword is like a tiger, and the sword is like a wind!
The two armies faced each other, and the arrows were the first.
Without waiting for the Saxons to approach, the Huns' arrows began to shoot, and the range of these short bows was not far, but the Saxons did not have many archers, so on the other hand, the Huns, the Saxons' arrows were sparse.
And the Huns' rain of arrows was dense and deadly! The advancing Sincambri fell to the ground, for it was these lovely hill tribes who were fighting against the Huns, and because they had to adapt to the terrain of the mountains, their shields were small round shields, and they were not wealthy.
In this way, under the dense rain of arrows, it can be imagined that the people of the mountain tribes are constantly falling on the way forward. But there were no more than three arrows, and the people of Sincambri roared over the side of the Huns.
The Sincambri were mostly clothed in linen, which had a defensive effect, but he was doomed to be powerless in the face of the sword, and the poor hill tribes, though poorly equipped, possessed as much bravery as the Saxons.
"Warriors! Take the glory of the Sincambri people with me! ”
Angus wields a mountain scimitar, a Nepalese hook knife with a hook at the tip, but the tip is not as heavy as the Nepalese hook knife, so its attack power is slightly lacking.
The roaring Sincambri people behind him are all this kind of hooked knife, and the bravery of the mountain tribes naturally goes without saying, if he fights alone, the Huns on horseback are not his opponents, but if they fight collectively, one team of Huns can repel three teams of Sincambri.
The Sincambri had no discipline to speak of, and they huddled together in a haphazard manner, holding a small round shield, and roaring and charging!
While they were running, the Saxons were moving forward without pressure, and only when the right distance did the Saxons run could they run.
Bang bang bang!!
The Saxons and the slaves collided together, the Saxons' egg shields worked, the slaves suffered heavy casualties, and almost all the slaves in the first row fell to the ground, their intestines flowed to the ground, groaning and being trampled to death.
The slaves in the second row barely held the formation, shouting against the Saxons.
One of the slave apostles struck the Saxon in front of him with a club, but the Saxon's egg shield fended off all the attacks, and then the Saxon slammed the egg shield into it, and the emaciated slave stumbled, and then the Saxon stabbed his sword.
The long sword, for the Saxons, and for all barbarians, is a luxury, and the short axe, is the main weapon. This short axe can be used both in combat and in production.
The Saxons held the round shield, and then slammed forward, and the slaves staggered, and then the Saxons swung their axes and slashed into the necks and heads of the slaves. Rows of slaves fell, but the Saxons did little harm.
At the same time, the Huns and proselytizer infantry on both flanks defended themselves with thick oval shields, and then stabbed out long swords and short spears.
The short spear is 1.2-1.5 meters, which is longer than the sword and will not become a burden because of its weight and size. Moreover, the assassination effect is better than that of a sword, and it does not require the same superb skill as a sword to use, so it is suitable for universal use.
The first row of the Huns were swordsmen, and the second row were short spearmen, who assisted the attack when the swordsmen attacked, stabbing out tricky guns, so that the enemy could not be caught off guard, and caused a lot of damage.
The Sincambri were killed in large numbers in the midst of the chaos, they had no formation and no discipline.
Angus saw that his casualties were deepening, and he had already begun to retreat, this is the shortcoming of the coalition army, and the interior is not monolithic.
At this time, the last straw that broke the camel sounded, and the Huns' knights and cavalry set out together.
The sound of rumbling horses' hooves sounded, the cavalry appeared from the flanks, and the tragedy was that the barbarian coalition army had no cavalry units! Their infantry could not intercept the cavalry.
