"What do you expect a soldier to do when he arrives on the battlefield and can't even walk?" —Scipio

__________________________________________________________

At the moment when they found that the other party was unstable, the veterans of Etrunia moved, and the whistle was very rhythmic, from the wing to the hundred, and then to each ten-person team, whining, "hulahula", the five wings acted like a coordinated human body, and the two wings at the front immediately changed into a wide line of double columns, and quickly approached the trench, accompanied by the stragglers in front and behind, carrying simple door panels, were about to be laid down at the first trench for the veterans to step on.

Pope hurriedly ordered, and the two ballistas fired stone bullets at the same time, but the veterans of the double column, the front column half kneeling flat ends, and the back column standing up diagonally, immediately formed a double shield wall, bounced the stone bullets away, and then disbanded the shield wall, and continued to move forward during the interval between the ballista reloads—how could the group coordinate and composure to this point, not the standard old guy and old bones?

There were a few bangs, and several long door panels of the stragglers were erected on the first trench, and a little splash of water was splashed, and then they took the lead in stepping on it, carrying the other door panels, and laying them on the second trench. The veterans also quickly changed formations, and entered the narrow strip between the two trenches from the door panel steadily, followed by the three wings. I was also prepared to keep up.

But at this moment. The ramparts suddenly revealed their "hideous faces". The soldiers under Calabis and Pop suddenly shook off the felt cloth behind the fence, and the other four doors had fixed the angle and range in advance, and twisted the ballista ready to fire, that is, the "hidden fire" made a brilliant appearance, and Karakala let out a death howl, and shot a row of heavy Pirum javelins!

It turned out that the habitual thinking of the rebel veterans on the battlefield. It is to first form a shield formation to resist the flying throwing weapons, and then take advantage of the opportunity of the opponent's reload to leap forward and approach the enemy to obtain the opportunity of white-knuckle combat. But the Calabis took advantage of this thinking: they first shot with two ballistas with inaccurate heads, and when they were done, they were tempted to seize the "opportunity", stand up, and rush to the middle of the two trenches.

In this cramped place. At all, all you need to do is adjust the shooting elements in advance, and there is no need for any aiming. In front of the ballista firing javelin, the veteran was suddenly pierced, many of them were two people connected together, nailed to the water of the trench behind, turning up bursts of blood-colored waves, and those who were not pierced were also stunned, holding shields, congested together, and stayed in place.

Before they could react, the two ballistae standing in the open place had also finished reloading and torque, and shot out a second wave of javelins

But the two advance attack wings, after all, were composed of veterans, although they suffered heavy casualties under the sudden blow, but they still made a judgment in a timely and calm manner, and the centurion blew a sharp whistle, and they did not retreat, because retreating at this time, on the contrary, they would be dealt a more serious blow, but they were indomitable, ready to wade directly through the second trench, as long as they carried out hand-to-hand combat with the recruits in front of the barrier, then this barrier blockade line would be taken without much effort.

However, when the veterans jumped into the trench, they found that it was also a death trap, the trench was indeed not very deep, only up to the knees or waists of the people, but the bottom was full of iron barbs, large iron nails, sharp broken pottery shards, their feet were nailed in the water, unable to move, they could only tremble in the water, twitching up and down and floating, submerged in the lower half of the water, gurgling up and down with crimson precious objects. Many tenacious, holding back the terrible pain, moved their bodies, hoping to climb over the trench and ashore.

But the four centurions of the defending side also blew the whistle, and the recruits fought hand-to-hand with swords, and they may not be very proficient, but they can still use javelins and shields as walls to push flat, and they marched forward in a horizontal line, and several veterans who had managed to climb up were "pushed" back into the trench alive before they could stand up their wet bodies.

At this time, dozens of sturdy young recruits on the high platform of the barrier, all of whom had previously been herdsmen, lined up, their hands rapidly spinning lassoes, and then throwing stones like rain. The six ballistas were also separated in twos and fours, pouring fire on the trenches without any intermittent interruption.

By the time the remnants of the rebel veterans of the two wings were taken back to the starting point, more than half of them had suffered casualties, and more importantly, their morale and condition had been weakened.

Catilyn's face under the Great Eagle was pale, these veterans were his trump cards, he didn't pay attention to this blockade line at first, but now between the two trenches, the flesh and blood were blurred among them, all of them were his most elite followers. On the ramparts, the enemy's mockery and provocative shouts constantly stimulated his nerves, and behind the wooden fence, they laughed haha, erected all kinds of graffiti made of wooden boards, including the "Spring Palace Picture" of him and her daughter, and the picture of him waving an iron prosthetic hand kneeling at the feet of the creditor "", and it was accompanied by words, many of these big-headed soldiers were ruffians from the streets of Rome before, and the paintings were concise and bright, pleasing to hear, and to the point, which made people unforgettable.

"Catiline, you have to make a decision as soon as possible, whether we should break through here with all our might, or turn back as soon as possible and find another way out, Neruda's army is not far from us." Next to it, Manius reminded.

"All of you, dig up, erect ballistas, fill in the damn trench, and break this place as soon as possible!" Enraged by the caricature, Catiline ordered with bloodshot eyes.

Thousands of brave followers of Catiline, citizens and slaves alike, risked their lives with stones and javelins, some carrying baskets and shovels, digging for their lives, and the earth flew everywhere to fill the trenches. Others were carrying wood and building improvised ballistas, "Stop, stop, don't waste weapons on these people!" Milou raised his hand and stopped all the soldiers from firing, "Immediately hold your javelins and swords, and bow down behind the fences and fences, and everyone hold their posts, no matter what happens, do not run around." ”

The offensive situation exploded almost instantly, and when these thousands of people pushed the corpses of the veterans who had died in the previous battle, mixed with mud and blood, into the trenches, they let out a landslide-like sound, and pounced overwhelmingly with the most rudimentary weapons, and the width of the pass was limited, which limited their numerical advantage, and they could only fight hand-to-hand with the soldiers of the two wings of Calabis stationed under the barrier in the form of wheel warfare.

The enemy's weapons are primitive and their combat skills are backward, and even newly recruited soldiers with little combat experience can easily resist waves of suicidal onslaughts with the protection of complete equipment and weapons, as well as the help of centurions and their own veterans. It seems that Catiline is purely trying to use so many fanatical followers as cannon fodder, constantly draining the physical strength of the defenders, and then use the veterans to make a second assault and break the blockade with one drum.
