Chapter 12: The Iron Wall of Fire (Part II)

Several more swords stabbed Hybrida in the body, but he only shook his body twice, and stabbed an enemy with his backhand, "All the rewards are brother's!" These were the last words he uttered, and the blood flowed onto the sand, and was sucked in instantly.

The rest of the enemy was so frightened that they took several steps back, not daring to dwell on the madman any longer. And the children of the Sixth Legion and the Twelfth Legion were all behind Hybrida and rushed over, "We are victorious, the enemy is finished!" Their shields staggered with those of the Spanish legions, and soon crushed one of the Rabinus legions at the front, and the Spanish warriors lost the courage to continue fighting, but when they saw such a heroic and horrific act by the chief centurion of the legion of Lypida, many of the regimental signs were discarded to the ground, and the men carried their shields and fled behind the walls of their own camps.

Soon, the engineers of the 15th Legion had built several improvised pontoon bridges, and archers, slingers, cavalry cannons, and bellows artillery were connected to the other side of the Tumr River through a deck supported by guò skins and clay pots. At this time, Rabinus's second-line corps on the right flank counterattacked, and the stick throwers on the wall flew like stones, knocking down many officers and soldiers who rushed to the front, and the equipment for attacking the fortification was also broken and damaged a lot, and the tide of charge was once again contained - at the same time, the central group of Rabinus ran over another legion, and carried out a flank attack on Li Bida's troops on the inner line, and the two sides immediately fought again, and the various flags under the wall were you advance and I retreat, and they did not give in to each other.

On the far side, Parluma and Junisonvière, which are also the closest to the city of Ouga. I am especially worried. Because of the current situation. It would be difficult for their cavalry to cross the open field on this side of the river and attack the walls and fortifications of Rabinus, so that their own elite would be killed and wounded by Yan zhòng—"I took two large groups of cavalry and marched towards the city of Vaga, hoping to lure the besieging legion into battle. With that, Dussonvier galloped away with the required amount of cavalry in the direction of the city of Ouga.

Sure enough, it wasn't long before it was over there. Suddenly, a large number of enemy infantry appeared, and it seemed that the besieging corps over there, seeing that the situation on the main battlefield was critical, was at a loss to send reinforcements.

The enemy, which numbered about five and looked to be about two thousand men, and hundreds of Spanish cavalry providing cover on either side, saw the approach of two brigades of Dussonville's cavalry and hurriedly sounded their trumpets—the cavalry stepped forward, while the infantry were in a hurry, ready to stand firm and put up a desperate resistance.

Determined not to give the enemy any margin, Junisonville took the lead. Holding the flag, he was with the cavalry of Vibichinas, who was following behind him. Without further ado, they rushed over, first galloping a wave of arrows over a short distance, knocking the Spanish cavalry in front of them on their backs, and then, either on horseback or leaping down with spears in their arms, like the Germans, they were in a melee, and engaged in a group of enemy infantry who had not yet had time to prepare for battle.

The sudden attack of Dussonvier's mount was stabbed to death by the enemy's spearmen, and a Spaniard with a short sword flew over from the side, knocking him off his horse, and at the critical moment, the Gallic general's guards rushed to the Spaniard and cut the Spaniard into meat sauce, Dussonvier struggled to stand up with his flag, and was hit by two arrows in his cuirass, and he was almost knocked down on his back by the tremendous force, but he still resisted, "Everyone, don't let half of the enemy escape today, The time has come to witness that we, the Vibichinas, are the best Gallic warriors. ”

Seeing that the hopeless enemy, like a pack of wolves forced into a corner, he used the sword in his hand to fangs for himself, and began a melee.

At this moment, from the side slope, there was a thunderous sound of horses' hooves, which was Paruma in time with nearly four thousand cavalry that followed, and outflanked him, but on both sides were the Mattians who were lined up like flying wings, lying on the towering saddle, with long spears in their arms, and in the center were the "new cavalry of Cyrene" with their cloaks removed, and their equipment was uniformly borne by the master's treasury, with Gallic pointed helmets, shoulder straps around a shield that could protect the heels of water drops, and a sharp javelin about five feet long in one hand, Firmly resting on his shoulder, he made a gesture that could be thrown or stabbed down, and the meteor tore from the side like lightning and stepped into the enemy's horizontal formation.

Many Spanish soldiers, seeing the tall horses pressing over like a mountain, rushed to them in an instant, instinctively raised the big leather shield in their hands, and half-crouched under it, and then Paruma's new cavalry actually trampled directly on the shattered leather shield, and the enemy's tumbling corpse, steadily stepped through several layers of interception formation one after another, and then through the huge charge inertia, the javelin or stabbing spear in his hand was thrown, and the enemy light infantry originally arranged in the center of the formation suddenly stabbed a large area, bloodstained, Flags and weapons were all trampled under the horses' hooves, and the dead and wounded crawled up and down on the ground, moaning and wailing.

This kind of ruined charge actually killed and wounded most of the enemy soldiers of the five brigades at once, and the rest saw that the formation had long been broken, so they left their posts one after another, and no longer had the courage to resist this terrifying cavalry assault, and ran in the direction of Varga City.

"General Dussonviller, should we go deep into pursuit!" Paruma tugged at the reins and asked the flag-holding Juniper Viere eagerly.

"With two brigades of cavalry, I continued the pursuit, trying to join up with the defenders of Waga to break the siege; Little pigeon, you take all the rest of the cavalry and plunder the enemy's right flank! ”

Next, Dussonvier and all the Vibichinans turned on their horses in pursuit, cutting down the fleeing defeated soldiers along the way, and took advantage of the victory to quickly advance towards the valley of Vaga.

When Hitius was on the tower, he saw that the besieging enemy camp was constantly coming and going, and that many of the wounded were running back in horror, and that at last the enemy had begun to set fire to the fortifications, and he suddenly felt revived, and shouted excitedly to all the party soldiers who were resting on the walls, "The enemy can no longer hold on, Rabinus has been completely defeated by His Excellency the High Priest, and a large number of friendly troops will come to our rescue immediately." The Hitius, not allowing the High Priest and his companions to see our hardships and suffering, cheer up all of them, take their weapons, and rush out for me! ”

On the besieged position, outside was the cavalry of Dussonvier, and inside the Hitius party swung their swords and shouted out from the city gates, and soon they joined together with joy, took prisoners and slaves, burned and plundered the cattle and goods of the camp of the enemy legions, and finally the enemy escaped with only about two or three hundred cavalry, and the rest were killed and captured, and the city of Vagah held out from the siege and defense.
