110. Bloody Plains
"Brothers, today, what you have done will go down in history! Follow me, charge! ”
After throwing the first wave of spears, Apis roared and ordered the three centurians behind him to charge. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 The Info Flag Bearer followed closely beside him, his hands clenched at the Battle Flag, and he sprinted with the Centurion. Tens of thousands of people roared in rage, like a rolling heat wave, and the battle line undulated and surged towards the position where Pompey's army was located.
In the heat of his life, Apis used his shield to knock away one of Pompey's legionnaires, and then the short sword plunged into the back of the opponent's back, the tip of the sword stabbing out of his throat. Suddenly, blood splattered and spilled on Appis's face, and the infantry of the Tenth Legion behind him then stuck to it, fighting the enemy with shields and short swords.
On the winding and undulating front, the dust was thick, blood was splashing in all corners, and the sound of endless shouts and armor colliding with each other could be heard on all sides.
……
"Go, Anthony, go with my hope, and bring back the glory that belongs to me."
The frontal battlefield was already full of bloody battles, and on the flanks, Caesar, dressed in military uniform, sat on his tall white horse, looked at Anthony with a solemn expression, and said to Anthony in a commanding tone.
Anthony couldn't help the manic bloodlust in his heart, and without looking back, he let out a loud shout, clamped his horse, and galloped out like an arrow from a string.
"Rush with me and bring back the heads of those bunnies, for Caesar!"
Antony took the lead, and behind him, the fanatical Germanic cavalry and Gallic cavalry rushed out like a group of newly civilized beasts, chanting their own languages and slogans.
Fifteen hundred of Caesar's most elite cavalry galloped en masse on the flanks of the battlefield, their hooves trampling the earth with a deafening stamping sound as if the whole earth were trembling.
At the same time, Labienus led all of Pompey's cavalry and also rushed to the battlefield, and the cavalry of the two armies were on the flanks, engaged in the bloodiest cavalry battle.
"Brothers, hold your spears tightly, do not fear, do not retreat, for the sake of the Republic!"
On this side of the battlefield, Rabbi Enus shouted with his sword, his voice quickly drowned out by the terrifying trampling of cavalry. The cavalry of nearly six thousand men, mighty and mighty, rushed down the hillside, and nothing could stop their charge. Under the scorching sun, the most exciting picture appeared on the flank of the entire battlefield, the barbarian cavalry led by Antony, head-on against the Greek cavalry led by Rabienus.
At the moment when the horses staggered and collided with each other, many cavalrymen were pierced through the bodies by the opponent's spears, and the blood splashed like a fountain under the hot sun, which could not be contained.
There were also many cavalrymen who were shaken off by the force of the recoil and flew off their horses.
Blood spilled all over the horses, neighing as they fell in droves.
Anthony leaned over the moment the enemy's spear stabbed, and his short sword cut off the arms of the opposing cavalry from the bottom up.
All of them were reduced to complete beasts in this horrific and bloodthirsty battle.
……
"Titus, Oscar, stay in formation and don't get out of line!"
On the frontal front, Apis fought with the enemy while trying his best to command his brigade and not let his infantry leave the queue, although the two sides wrestled with each other, but the most basic tactics of the Roman legions could not be separated from the group, even when they were caught in a melee. Appis yelled and ordered Oscar to return from the front, he had gone too far into the enemy formation.
Then, one of Pompey's veterans aimed the tip of his sword at Appis's throat. However, he was blocked by a shield from Apis, which flew the short sword and then struck the old Pompey in the chest. The veteran of Pompey, who was hit by the fierce shield, fell down in a daze, and then, Apis turned the short sword, a quick whirlwind, grasped the short sword, and brutally sent the tip of the sword into the opponent's left chest, the sharp Roman short sword pierced the heart, and a large amount of blood gushed wildly.
"For the republic! For Pompey! ”
Kventus brought more soldiers to support the midfield, and several legions improvised from Egypt, Syria, and Alexandria showed signs of collapse under the frenzy of Caesar's veterans, until Kventus joined the battle with Pompey's corps of Silesian veterans, and the entire front was temporarily stabilized again.
Caesar, on the other hand, sent all the reserves at the beginning of the battle. Breaking the cauldron and sinking the boat, only advancing and not retreating......
At the height of the battle, Caesar joined the fray, and under the protection of elite veterans, Caesar rushed into the battlefield wearing a bright red cloak and standing with the lowest-ranking legionnaires. Holding a well-crafted sword, he slashed left and right, fighting like a barbarian, punching the face of the enemy in front of him, tearing off the opponent's shield with both hands, and smashing the enemy's head with the hilt.
Appis, Phranius, Crassus the Younger, Caesar, all drowned in the blood. The dust rising from the air was stained with a mist of blood. Caesar's legions of veterans attacked the defenses of Pompey's recruits again and again. On a line that stretched for several lorries, the corpses of soldiers on both sides were piled up.
More and more blood splattered on Appis's body, and the blood was dripping almost down the edges of his hair, and the thick smell of blood was suffocating. Manic killing, Apis seems to have regained the feeling of being in the blood arena back then, when the opponent attacks one by one, you can only suppress the manic blood in your heart by constantly numbing the killing.
Pompey's recruits standing in front of Apis were stabbed several times, and Apis kept sending his short sword into the opponent's abdomen like a beast, and then pulled it out, stabbed in and out, and let the blood of the enemy release painfully. In the frenzy of killing, the recruits of Pompey's regiment were stabbed in the abdomen, and their intestines and internal organs flowed out. At this time, Appis swung his blood sword and cut off the opponent's head with a single sword. Splatters of blood spilled on his face, and here, the lust of the beast was vividly released.
Standing behind Apis, another Pompey recruit who was about to attack Apis, was overly frightened by the sight in front of him, and turned to flee, but was held by Crane's neck, and the short sword pierced through his back and from under his chest, and it was like a hell of blood.
At this time, Antony's legionary cavalry on the side began to "rout", and the barbarian cavalry pulled the reins, turned around, and fled in the direction they were rushing from.
"General, they're on the run!"
The cavalry quickly informed Rabienus of the situation, but out of caution with Caesar's use of troops, Rabienus did not let the cavalry pursue. Maybe this was just Anthony's trick to lure the enemy deeper? Rabienus thought to himself and ordered the cavalry not to pursue. But a terrible scene arose, and the generals of the Senate, who were in the midst of the slaughter, did not listen to the orders of Rabienus and took charge of their cavalry to charge at Antony's Gallic cavalry.
Pompey's cavalry of 6,000 men was immediately divided into two groups, one group pursued Antony's barbarian cavalry, and the other group held on to its position under the leadership of Labienus. Take stock.
However, even the disobedience of these three thousand cavalrymen was enough to kill. When they fled in a rout, it would undoubtedly deal a fatal blow to the morale of the legion. Rabienus would never allow such a situation to happen, he pulled the reins angrily, and desperately led the three thousand cavalry around him to continue to charge, even if the other party had an ambush, he could not abandon these cavalry, because the war itself was a whole.
