"Brothers, soldiers, remember this day, remember this day of great things we have done, today you are not fighting for me, but for Rome, and the millions of people in the city of Rome are fighting. We have on our mission to save the Republic. We are heroes, not cowards! Now, follow me out of the city and toward the dawn! ”

The siege of Rome lasted for several days, but Antony's legions were unable to conquer the city, and the corpses piled up under the towers, and the soldiers were exhausted and fought fiercely all day long. Finally, after enduring for several days, Apis, with his most elite troops, began the battle of breakthrough. These soldiers were Roman veterans who had fought all the way from northern Gaul, and Appis had let them rest and recharge their batteries in the previous battles, and at this moment, they could finally come in handy.

At dawn, the Germanic cavalry rushed out of the city gate with bows and spears first, and these barbarian cavalry included in the Roman legion still retained their unique combat traditions, they did not ride a horse alone, but two people rode a war horse, the main rider held a spear and a long sword, which was used when charging, and the deputy rider was lightly armed, only equipped with a short hand and a small round shield, before the battle, the deputy rider chose a good position, and jumped off the horse in advance, and covered the main rider's charge with the bow and arrow in his hand.

When it is time to retreat, the main rider will retreat to the position of the deputy rider, and the deputy rider will jump on the horse again, and the two people will retreat on a horse together. Full of emotion. Apis tried to change the tactics of the Germans, but it was too difficult, they were used to their own tactics, and they forcibly changed them, and the gains outweighed the losses.

So, when the siege was broken, these Germanic cavalry once again appeared on the battlefield with a very strange posture, two thousand Germanic cavalry, in fact, four thousand, rushed out of the city gate first, rolling up the dust. Behind them were the tens of thousands of Roman legionary hoplites, all the elite of Appis, who would join the legions from the north after breaking out of the city, and the task of defending the city was entrusted to the two legions of Crassus the Younger and the temporarily conscripted citizen soldiers, the freedmen soldiers. Defending a city doesn't require much discipline and combat skills, just condescending to throw your weapons and fight on the walls. These, recruits can also do with a short training. And this kind of thing in the field can only be done by experienced veterans.

Soon, a huge movement at the gates of the city attracted the attention of Anthony's besieging troops outside the city, who shouted for their companions to get up and fight. However, as Apis had predicted, the city of Rome was so large that Antony placed defenders at every gate, and as a result, there was no place that was particularly hard, with the claim of fifteen legions, and in fact less than two legions of soldiers scattered across the gates. At this time, when the large army in the city attacked, it was almost the same as the number of defenders outside the city, and it took time for them to pass on information.

The Syrian auxiliaries were the first to break out of the camp of the Antony Legion, and although the soldiers were not disciplined but lightly armed, they rushed out of the camp with throwing guns and short swords.

Then, the savage and bloodthirsty Germanic cavalry, stepping on strong stirrups, pounced on the newly risen, scattered Eastern infantry in droves.

"What are you waiting for? Legionnaires, it's time to show your courage, follow me, and charge to the wall of people in front of you! ”

The stars set, the sun rose, and in the golden glow, Appis once again put on his armor and went into battle himself, leading his loyal Germanic cavalry to launch a wild charge against the enemy and the crowd on the opposite side.

More than 2,000 Germanic and Gallic cavalry trampled on the arid earth, dusty, and rushed to Antony's Syrian auxiliary regiment opposite.

The archers jumped off their horses, and in a rain of arrows, the Syrian infantry raised their small round shields and knelt down to protect them, and then, as soon as they got up, the tall barbarian cavalry rushed in front of them.

In the next second, a tragic and bloody scene appeared, and these light infantry who did not form a dense formation were trampled like ears of wheat in autumn. The soldiers in the front row fell, trampled by the war horses that followed behind, and the flesh and blood were blurred, and the viscera and blood were all over the land. Many of the Syrian infantry were impaled with rifles by Appis's Germanic cavalry, and they fell to the ground screaming, their broken internal organs oozing from their wounds. Appalling.

Like a black tide, the two thousand Germanic cavalry quickly dispersed the hasty Eastern infantry. Subsequently, Appis ordered the cavalry to retreat, with the infantry following. Because Antony's camp was fenced, it was difficult for the cavalry to storm the camp unless the fences were overturned, but this was obviously unrealistic, not to mention that the regular Roman army in the camp had already risen and assembled. The Germanic cavalry was okay against the scattered desert infantry, but against the heavily armed Roman heavy infantry, the gains outweighed the losses.

Immediately, the barbarian cavalry dispersed and withdrew from both flanks, and the Gallic legions fought head-on. Anthony's heavily armed troops also rushed out of the camp in high morale.

It's like two red tides colliding head-on. Stir up dust.

On the battle line, the sound of weapons and iron armor clashing one after another, the screams and wails of the soldiers resounded throughout the earth, blood poured out from every corner of the battle line like a fountain, the dead soldiers fell with blood on their faces, and the living soldiers pulled out the short swords on the bodies of the dead and continued to fight. Chief Centurion Klein led the front-line troops in a bloody battle, and with a sword down, the heavily armed Roman soldiers in front of him were covered in blood, and their mouths and noses were cut in half. Then before he could even scream, the bloodthirsty and brutal Crane stabbed him in the face with another sword. Blood rushed out of his face, licked the blood from the corner of his mouth, and continued to fight......

By this time, the soldiers of Anthony's camp had almost poured out, and the two armies were fighting on the flat terrain. And Appis knew that his real chance had come.

After a simple order, the Germanic cavalry regiment followed its commander and rushed from the rear.

"Stay in formation and charge with me! Glory to Rome! ”

Apis then took the lead and commanded his main cavalry to return to the rear of Antony's hoplite regiment and launched a fierce charge against Antony's Roman legions.

This time, it was the real fatal shock. With a furious roar, the Germanic cavalry regiment was like a black axe, splitting Antony's Roman hoplite phalanx through a bloodied gash from the diagonal rear. Screams rang out in all directions, and many people were squeezed into the crowd without even having a chance to escape, and were trampled by the bloody horses of the war horses...... 10
