"Roman soldiers, all my brothers and comrades who have fought alongside me, do not be afraid, raise your javelins and aim at these big guys!"

Despite the fear in his heart, Apis resisted his panic and commanded hundreds of legionnaires on the first line behind him to prepare to face the manic elephants. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Spread out! Disperse! ”

Immediately, just before the war elephants rushed violently, the centurions of all the brigades sounded the order to disperse the formation at the same time.

Just like the repetition of the hundred-year-old Battle of Zama, although everyone was afraid in their hearts, when the war elephants collectively stormed the phalanx, all the legionnaires still dispersed in time to disperse the formation, and the originally loose column suddenly doubled in number, giving the war elephants a path to charge.

At this time, the Metellus rider on the war elephant instinctively felt that this was a conscription before the crisis. They clenched the saddle and drove their elephants to turn around and ram into crowded places. But it's too late.

The veterans of the 10th Legion clenched their spears and javelins and frantically threw their weapons at the advancing African war elephants. The lightly armed infantry came from all directions, throwing stone bullets and light spears at these huge creatures.

All of a sudden, all ranged weapons roared in from all directions, raining down on the huge bodies of the war elephants, including the asphalt-covered torches, and the air was filled with the smell of fire and blood.

"We are Roman warriors, for Caesar, for Rome, only fight and not retreat!"

The centurions led by Sekras commanded their hundred-man team to continuously throw javelins at the furious war elephants, and after throwing their javelins, the impatient Sekras snatched the heavy spears from the recruits behind him, and then aimed at the forehead and eyes of the opposite war elephants, and threw them at a short accelerated distance, Pyrus heavy javelins drew a deadly arc in the air, and then, violently stabbed into the eyes of the war elephants!

For a time, the raging war elephant completely ignored the rider's orders and ran wildly, it hissed like the wrath of the sea god Poseidon, causing panic among the surrounding Roman soldiers, but many people still reacted in time and stayed away from the mad war elephant. On the battlefield, the phalanx of the Roman legions on Caesar's side had been beaten to pieces.

But given enough time for them to shoot and kill these one hundred and fifty African war elephants, it would only take a short time for the legion to regroup in formation. Now, however, the situation is moving in Caesar's favor. Although it was the first time that the soldiers of the Tenth and Thirteenth Legions had faced such a behemoth, the bravery they had trained over a long period of time on the blood-spattered battlefield had gradually made them accustomed to this kind of slaughter.

On the front line of Caesar's central position, many war elephants fell to the ground with a roar after being fired by countless javelins and crossbow arrows, and spread like an earthquake throughout the Legion's position. The elephants smashed like a hammer on cotton as they stormed the Roman legions' positions, and when this powerful force was buffered, the Roman soldiers hunted the African elephant like hunters.

"Speed up and get rid of these behemoths!"

Apis shouted loudly in the chaos of the battlefield, however, not many people heard it, because the neighing of the elephant herd, combined with the sound of the legionnaires throwing spears and stones, roars and roars, and the sound of weapons striking, completely drowned out the sound of Apis's voice in the crowd.

Then, as if the earth had been devastated, there was a dull and terrifying crash as the war elephants fell to the ground.

Some of the hapless soldiers didn't even have time to escape, and were crushed to the ground by the heavy bodies of the African elephants, their flesh and blood blurred.

However, the legion managed to turn the tide after the arrival of a large enemy force. On the other side, the armies of Kventus and Metellus were already in a rage, and the dust they raised was like a sandstorm, overwhelming the sky, however, the herd of war elephants trapped in the legion's position was also successfully driven crazy, and more than a hundred of the one hundred and fifty war elephants began to scurry wildly, not obeying the orders of the riders, and then many of the war elephants even turned around and rushed to their own lines......

"Roar, roar like a real beast."

Appis stood in the crowd and roared excitedly. Because, like the best ending before the war, the mad war elephants turned back and ran into the crowd that crushed them, Metellus and Kventus should have been terrified at this moment, they saw a herd of crazy elephants rushing towards their position, and the riders on the back of the elephants were either shot or sat in the saddle chairs in terror, resigned to fate.

Soon, hordes of wounded war elephants crashed into the African coalition forces of Kventus......

"Ah......h

The heart-rending screams of Pompey's coalition troops suddenly sounded on the battle line, and many Pompey veterans in the front row were mercilessly bumped up and knocked away by the mad war elephants. Their bodies were easily knocked into the air like toys by war elephants, blood splattered, and their corpses fell into the positions of their companions, mostly unrecognizable. Blood soon spread through the Legion positions at Kventus, the number of wounded soldiers increased exponentially, there were terrible screams everywhere, there were scenes of blood splattering everywhere, and the Pompey Legionnaires who had been crushed and trampled were lying on the battlefield ground, and those who were dead and those who were not dead had no strength to stand up again.

"Attack! Attack against all odds! ”

Riding on his warhorse, Kventus glared at all this, but he immediately ordered the legions to attack with all their might, while the legions on Caesar's side had not yet gained a foothold.

The drummer puffed out his cheeks and blew the horn of the general attack of the legion.

Then, there was a cruel and bloody scene on the battlefield, the mad war elephants trampled on the Pompey coalition army of Cventus, trampling the entire infantry phalanx out of the path of blood, while the veterans of the Pompey faction, led by Cventus, met the direction of the war elephants and rushed towards the position of Caesar's tenth legion.

A large number of legionnaires rushed towards Appis's position like a wave on the sea, and the soldiers of the 10th Legion did not have enough time to regroup, so they directly collided with the infantry phalanx of Kventus.

The blood of the soldiers on the first front suddenly burst out, spears pierced the bodies of the veterans, and then the two sides drew their swords and fought each other. Shields and shields collided together, a real bloody battle, neither side had a unified and dense formation, the neighing of the war elephants just now was still in the ears, and now, the sound of weapons and the roar of soldiers resounded again.
