Then, the spear phalanx sang the battle song one by one:

"Do you know what kind of man you're fighting against?

We feed on the sword,

The wine he drank burned in his chest,

The spears that you fly to break are our desserts,

We have shields and cuirass as pillows,

Finally, use the arrows you shoot as a wreath!

Hooray, hooray, forward, Bronze Shield Army! ”

"Hooray, hooray, go ahead!" All the spearmen, at a distance of one furlong from the Twelve Roman legions, began to launch a ferocious storm of spears, and the whistles on the Romans' side were everywhere, and they deftly abandoned their combat posts on the front line, alternated cover, and rushed back towards the rear camp.

"They are on the run, and the invincible Romans are actually on the run." Sikobodias, the standard-bearer of the Bronze Shield Army, shouted excitedly when he saw this, "Soldiers in the back column, maybe the vision is obstructed, you can't see this great scene, but I don't care about you anymore, the first person to attack the enemy's camp was me, I am now, and I will be in the future." After saying that, several young officers who were also reckless and brave should be the first to compete with Sicobodias, and began to compete for meritorious service.

Minand, who was supervising the battle on the edge of the camp in the rear, laughed when he saw this scene, he loved these young people, hot-blooded, orderly, loyal and brave, he had single-handedly trained them.

But at this time, the wind suddenly stirred and frenzy, and in the camp of the Romans, many lightly armed soldiers of the kingdom of Eubertia suddenly appeared, and they passed by the soldiers of the Twelfth Legion. Then they threw strange things out of their hands.

It turned out that when Minander was carefully improving the Bronze Shield Army, the she-wolf Adiana naturally did not turn a blind eye to this army that she hated with her teeth, and after carefully studying the phalanx tactics of her father and all the Diadochi Kingdoms, she invented this most simple and practical tactical weapon, the Chain Tribulus Terrestris, to deal with Minander.

This kind of thistle terrestris, which was originally scattered to block the enemy's cavalry, is in the shape of a triangular tip, so that it can be sprinkled anywhere and stand firmly. It is sharp enough to cripple any horse when stepping on it. "Well, it's the same for the flesh and blood soldiers of the phalanx, at least they'll be smarter than livestock. Won't see this horrible thing. And stomp on it. ”

So the soldiers of Adiana. By stringing many tribulus terrestris together with ropes, you can carry them on your back on a normal day, and now you can easily throw them. Then, within the first ten Roman feet of distance, a barrier zone was formed.

After leaving the thistle array, the soldiers of Eubertnia knelt down in unison, holding ropes and sword hilts, and then the flag bearers of the bow and arrow brigade of the Twelfth Legion erected the fly flag, behind the wooden fence of the camp, the archers behind the soldiers in the front began to vibrate the bowstrings rapidly, and the formation of the soldiers of the Bronze Shield Army began to be unstable, some of them dodged the bursts of arrows flying from the front, and some of them continued to move forward with their heads covered, especially the soldiers in the front column, after seeing the thistles all over the ground, they gritted their teeth and stopped, and the back column was still unknown, so they continued to move forward, People are next to man, spear to spear, and they can't see the front at all and rush forward with no life. The sound of whistles and gongs and drums was chaotic, and many soldiers in the front were either hit by arrows, or were squeezed and fell, landing on the thistles, and let out a miserable howl like killing pigs, replacing the previous passionate military songs.

However, the speartip forest was still driving forward, and the soldiers in the back line unconsciously stepped over the corpses of their comrades in front of them, stepping on rivers of blood and melting snow, but still stretching out their huge spears twenty Roman feet long in their hands in unison.

Soon the Romans flew Pirum's heavy javelins, and the dull sound of smashing on the armor and shields came and went, and more soldiers of the Brass Shield Army fell silently and rolled into the trench in front of the Roman camp, and the entire front line of the Brass Shield Army was even more uneven, some detachments were swarming to climb the slope in front of the enemy camp, some were carefully squeezing in the middle of the thistle and the trench in an attempt to get through, and some did not know where the drums and pipes of the signal came from, so they could only stay in place to observe the situation.

There were sporadic engagements everywhere, whether it was Li Bida's Twelve Legions, or the soldiers of the Kingdom of Eubertnia, they all tried not to fight these spearmen head-on, they either threw hunting spears, or went around to the flanks to slash, but the Bronze Shield Army was also very resolute, no matter which direction the enemy ran to, they would face a series of stabbing attacks of three or four spears at the same time, and several unlucky centurions of the Twelfth Legion collided with the ten spears stretched out together, and the blood rolled up the snow foam on the ground, and the mighty soup flew up.

"Tell the soldiers of the front, do not be afraid, rush through the wooden fence by the Romans' camp, and they will crumble." Menander apparently believed the priests' rumors about the ravens, and he did not even use the Sarmatian cavalry in this battle, but only told them to stay in his camp and watch the battle.

At this moment, the golden sun of the winter in Xiaoya has slowly climbed to the middle of the sky, and on the plains on the left side of the entire battlefield, there is also a faint sound of military songs:

"We are ordinary farmers and herdsmen like thyme,

Now I will die for the glory of Lypidaus,

He said come on! Deliver the strongest man among you,

I will train them into pieces of iron and weapons.

Recruits enlist, the flag is flying,

I have eaten all the sticks and cooked the drill code thoroughly.

And then

Enemies, I will easily kill you with my sword,

Cut off your head,

Drink up your blood,

And then weed in your corpses,

Say that this is the fate of the weak, this is the fate of the weak! ”

With the sound of this army's song, the flank of the Left Ear Legion of the Bronze Shield Army began to riot, and many young soldiers who had never seen the world saw that many of them were dark-skinned and fierce-faced warriors rushing over in formation, which made them feel extremely frightened, but they soon understood that these black soldiers were also skilled in using all kinds of weapons, especially powerful bows and arrows.

Clusters of arrows smashed on the side of the dense Bronze Shield Army's moving phalanx like a torrential rain, those young soldiers with beautiful faces and high morale, these cruel arrows flying in them, let them experience painful death and injury, people are like wheat stalks in front of the wind continue to fall down, "Where did the enemy come from, this force of men and horses, impossible!" I had received information beforehand that the main force of the Romans in the direction of Taktun should still be outside sixty miles to the south, entangled with the main force of Scipio, and they had not appeared yesterday, could it be that they had run back yesterday on a snowy night? When Minander saw the Bronze Shield Army being shot to death like a tide, his eyes were bloodshot, and he crackled the whip in his hand and cried out.

The subordinate generals persuaded Menander to quickly send the Sarmatian cavalry to disperse the archers of the Roman army that appeared on the left flank, and Minander waved the flag, and the Sarmatian cavalry in the camp, after seeing this sortie signal, took the lead and raised the fish and dragon flag in his hand, pointing at the enemy black team that appeared on the left side of the entire wilderness!
