"There's a problem."

"What's the problem, brother?"

The cavalry of the Germanic legions walked out of the valley for a long time, and did not see the large army of Roman legions following behind, and the cavalry captain Oluus felt a little strange.

"We've been out of the valley for more than a while, but we haven't seen the baggage team and infantry brigade come out, could there be something wrong here?"

Combined with the treacherous terrain of this valley, and Appis's worries and predictions before crossing the valley. Oluus decided to take a squad of cavalry and turn around and go back.

After Oluus finished speaking, his cousin Trebeerys beside him suddenly understood something, shouted loudly to his own people, followed Oluus, turned back, and went to the valley to find out the situation. The legion has not come out of the valley woodland for a long time, and there is little luck.

Two thousand Germans and fifteen hundred Gallic cavalry turned in an instant, turned back the same way. And they didn't know that it was this action of theirs that saved the legion of Appis on the verge of death.

"Oh, no! We're late! ”

By the time Oluus stormed the woodland, there was already a river of blood and piles of corpses. Dead Roman soldiers were scattered in twos and threes on the valley paths, in the woodlands, with no end in sight.

In the distance, the sound of fierce fighting among the infantry could be heard.

At this scene, Oluus couldn't help but clamp the war horse under Kua, and the war horse neighed and galloped out. Behind him, hundreds of Germanic cavalry followed their commanders into the battlefield as fast as they could, supporting their generals.

When Oluus arrived at the scene of the jungle ambush, he found that his commander, Appis, was leading less than 500 soldiers against the slaughter of a large number of Egyptian soldiers and Antony's legionnaires.

Aluus couldn't see Appis, but the golden eagle banner was clearly visible. The situation was urgent, and there was no time to think about it, so the cavalry captains Oluus and Treberice decided to split up.

Subsequently, the cavalry of the Gallic Legion and the Germanic cavalry divided into two lines and charged back and forth on the periphery of Antony's Alexander's and Egyptian legions.

They were in a hurry, but they were very calm, knowing that in such a situation, they could not rush hard. Because the number of legionary cavalry was small, and Antony's army was large, Oluus and Trebellis each led their own cavalry, wandering around the perimeter of Antony's army, and when they saw a lone team, whether Roman or Egyptian, they rushed up to encircle and trample on it, and when Antony's army surrounded it, they withdrew from the battlefield.

Repeatedly harassed, stormed, and on the periphery, supported Appis's heavy troops in battle.

The Egyptian soldiers, gradually losing patience with the harassment, for they could not keep up with the Germanic cavalry, and they had to worry about being trampled by their horses' hooves, and, crucially, they had run out of javelins and bows and, crucially, had exhausted all their arrows and spears from the previous shots of the infantry of the Apis. Now, in the face of the charge of the Germanic cavalry, there is no long-range weapon, and once targeted, you can only wait for death.

So, a strange scene appeared, these Egyptian soldiers were the first to break and flee with the advantage. They don't want to be the target of the barbarian iron horseman, they don't want to die here.

After the pressure on the periphery had eased somewhat, Apis began to organize a heavy infantry counterattack. The soldiers finally had a gap to fight.

"Brothers, follow me and fight together! Turn the shield outward, advance step by step, and the road to breakthrough is ahead! ”

On the battlefield of flesh and blood, Apis drew his sword and shouted. It's been a long time since there has been such a personal involvement in hand-to-hand combat, and today, Appis once again experienced the bloody infantry battlefield.

In front of him, one of Antony's legionnaires stabbed with a sword, nearly piercing Appis in the face. In the flash of silver light, Apis instinctively dodged, but the blade still brushed his face slightly, and scarlet blood slowly seeped out of the wound. However, in the fierce battlefield, Apis could not care about such minor injuries. It was a head-on blow to the Roman soldier in front of him, hitting the opponent's head with a large shield. The Roman soldier who was struck by the shield stumbled and fell to the ground. Then, before he could get up, Apis had already stabbed his short sword into his thigh, and suddenly, the soldier screamed and could not get up again, and then, Apis's big shield smashed down fiercely, knocking the soldier's head to pieces.

The battle raged brutally, and after breaking out of the siege, Appis led the remaining elite of the legion to rescue the rest of the soldiers at the rear of the group.

At sunset, the Germanic cavalry galloped rapidly on the small high slopes of the woodland, and the figures flashed quickly, and in the shadow of swords and swords, the Egyptian soldiers and Antony's legionary infantry along the road were cut off their arms and heads, and blood poured out.

Appis was desperate to rescue the small forces that had been surrounded. In the end, the second half of the entire team was basically wiped out by Anthony's legion. Appis desperately rescued, and finally rescued a small part of the Gallic legion, and part of the Germanic legion, the Icurian legion was almost completely annihilated, and only the Spanish legion was relatively intact. They were located relatively high on the valley trail, relying on the terrain to escape.

"Follow me out of this valley!"

Bloodied Apis then drew his sword and led the Roman soldiers who had escaped from the clutches of death out of the valley.

Behind them, the Egyptian army and Antony's Roman legions, which followed closely.

Finally, after a long afternoon of fighting, the remnants of the three legions broke out of Death Canyon. In front of them was a flat plain as far as the eye could see.

"Forward, keep going, don't stop."

Seeing that the soldiers were panting and exhausted, Appis could not bear to drive them to continue on their journey, but they had to hurry. Because Anthony's pursuers were still behind, they were like bloodthirsty beasts, chasing after the prey that slipped from their mouths.

It wasn't until the sun had set that Anthony's pursuers were distanced.

However, just when everyone thought they could rest for a while, a terrifying cavalry horn sounded in the sky. Looking up, on the horizon of the plain, rows of blurred figures were "slowly" approaching. The closer they get, the faster they approach.

"It's cavalry!"

The leader of the reconnaissance group shouted.

The crowd immediately began to riot again. I had just rushed out of Death Canyon, and now I was on the plains, and I was about to face a massive cavalry charge. The Germanic cavalry was out of breath and unable to fight any longer, and the horses were exhausted and panting in place. 8)
