"Brothers, we have no way back, either to crush Antony's cavalry here, or Antony's Greek and Egyptian cavalry will run over us and march on Italy to conquer Rome. Brothers, our bodies are the last line of defense! Mars is with us! ”

Standing in the crowd of legionnaires, Appis shouted with his sword.

The soldiers of the Gallic, Germanic and Spanish legions also let out their final roars and roars.

"For Rome!"

The next moment, all the regimental heavy infantry raised their shields and faced the most savage onslaught of Antony's cavalry.

With the rushing waters of the Griss River in the background, Antony's legionary cavalry could no longer encircle and charge Appis's infantry phalanx, and now all the soldiers could stand in their positions to meet the charge of the enemy cavalry.

There were no worries, and there was no way back, and the morale of all the soldiers was high.

At sunset, the Apis legion, standing on its back, was just in the position of facing the light. The heavy infantry held heavy javelins as anti-cavalry weapons, and countless spearheads reflected dazzling light in the sun. It's like a golden steel field. With such a sight, Anthony's cavalry commander knew that it was very dangerous to charge again, but this was Anthony's death order, and this force must be wiped out on the plain.

Immediately, the commander of the Egyptian cavalry, Nurbado, gave the order to charge the entire charge......

In the dust, the Greek cavalry and the Egyptian cavalry joined forces and, led by their commanders, launched a final charge against the Roman legions on the riverbank......

Countless horses trampled on the earth with a deafening sound, eagles soared through the sky, and below, the Greek and Egyptian cavalry swooped down on Appis's last line of defense. Although the dense shield wall may seem small, every square meter of land is densely packed with soldiers.

"Steady!"

"Don't be afraid!"

Amid the roar of the centurions, 5,000 Greek and Egyptian cavalry stormed the Roman legions' forward positions.

For a time, the shield shattered and the armor was broken, and the man turned on his back.

The dense heavy javelins broke one after another at the moment when the horses struck the spears, and many of the soldiers of the Gallic and Germanic legions were bleeding and bloody, but many of the horses of the Egyptian and Greek cavalry were also killed, and the horses lost their hooves. Under the terrifying impact force, the entire Roman legion phalanx trembled slightly, and the impact force was transmitted layer by layer, until the soldiers in the last row could clearly feel the pressure in front.

Everyone felt a strong pressure on them, however, they held their ground under the protection of their shields. If you go back, you will be drowned. It can only fight to the death.

After the furious charge, Antony's cavalry could not rush into the interior of the phalanx, and the cavalry in the rear followed, pushing the cavalry in the front, causing a large number of Greek and Egyptian cavalry to huddle together, collide with each other, the horses lose their front hooves, and the men turn on their backs. This is the consequence of the cavalry's frontal assault on the heavy infantry phalanx, and if it is not successful, it is tantamount to suicide.

"It's now! Get up and stab these ants with your swords and spears! ”

At the last moment, Chief Centurion Crane dragged his tired and bloodied body to his feet, and shouted with his sword.

The morale of all the Roman soldiers suddenly came, they held the onslaught of the enemy, which was equivalent to seeing the dawn of victory. The soldiers of the Gallic Legion, the Germanic Legion, and the Spanish Legion all got up, drew their short swords, and stepped forward to stab the struggling Antonine cavalry.

On the whole front, the dust was flying, the voices were boiling, the crowd had forgotten mercy in the savage fighting, some were only bloody hatred, and countless Roman short swords were waved in the air, piercing into the bodies of horses and cavalry, as if tens of thousands of people were slaughtering livestock. Rivers of blood. The crash of iron armor, the sound of swords piercing into the body, the neighing of war horses, the screams of riders and infantrymen, all resounded.

At this time, many Greek and Egyptian cavalry could no longer withdraw, and they stood in dense formation, watching as the Roman legionary heavy infantry overwhelmed them like a black tide. Although Appis's legion had suffered heavy losses in the previous ambush, the infantry was still outnumbered by Antony's cavalry, no matter how small the number of infantry was.

Many of the Egyptian cavalry were impaled by javelins coming from all sides before they could surrender, and the horsemen who had been dismounted were stabbed with short swords by angry Roman soldiers. The bleeding did not stop.

Apis pulled one of the Greek horsemen off his horse, and the Greek cavalryman screamed and tried to get up, but when he got up, Apis's short sword was already stabbed through his wide open mouth. In an instant, blood erupted from the shattered face like a fountain.

"Fight to the end!"

In the crowd, a bloodied Appis raised his arms and shouted, and the soldiers responded to their commander with the most savage slaughter. The legionnaires were like slaughtering red-eyed butchers, and they stabbed and slashed at all living creatures...... The small intestine, blood, and severed limbs spread out on the ground, and with every step, scarlet blood splashed.

Under the terrifying picture, Anthony's cavalry in the rear did not care about the safety of their comrades, and drove their horses to turn around and flee in a hurry.

Afterwards, Anthony walked out of the valley with the infantry legions, expecting to see a pile of dead bodies on the plain and the fallen banner of Appis. But he was surprised to find that his cavalry not only failed to defeat the remnants of Appis's troops, but was even beaten into reservoir dogs by these scarred and dejected Roman soldiers.

"Gods above, what a bunch of shit! Apis had been ambushed by me, and more than half of his legions had been killed or wounded, but on the plains, these Greek and Egyptian cavalry could not defeat such a group of fallen soldiers? Oh, my God! I've had enough of them, Domitius, arrest the living! Dispose of as a deserter! ”

Anthony was so angry that he managed to fool Apis, but it didn't work out for him.

And now, the sky has darkened, and his soldiers are already very tired after the hard battle just now, and it is unlikely that they will light a fire to fight again. Moreover, the defeat of the cavalry battle in the evening raised the morale of the Apis regiment on the opposite side. With their backs to the river, they have no way to retreat and are bound to fight to the death. Anthony knows the truth that there is no one in the siege, and all of them are surrounded and killed, which is not called encirclement and annihilation, it will kill himself, because the enemy will do a battle of trapped beasts, and his combat effectiveness will be stronger......
