- Plato (one of the greatest philosophers and thinkers of Western culture)

Among the infantry corps of Mitch Pusa, only about 5,000 infantry from the Sahara Kingdom had decent combat effectiveness, and the remaining 10,000 infantry were all Gaturian troops with poor combat effectiveness and weak will to fight.

When Mickpilus left with two thousand cavalry, of the five thousand light infantry he took with him, there were about two thousand Saharan infantry; Now, under the command of Mitch Pusa, there are only 3,000 Saharan infantry and 7,000 Gaturian infantry left.

It was unthinkable and impossible for the Gaturian infantry to summon up the courage to attack the elite Numidian cavalry, which was in the midst of the chaos.

Therefore, the wise Mickey Pusa did not directly order his troops to rush forward, but adopted the method of attacking in batches with mixed armies to send his infantry to rush to the front line.

Mickey Puza divided his 3,000 Saharan infantry into three armies, left, center, and right, each supported by 2,000 Gaturian infantry; The last reserve consisted of Mitch Pusa's own personal guard and the remaining 1,000 Gaturian infantry.

Approaching the battlefield, Mickey Pursa immediately ordered his left army to attack the right flank of the Numidian cavalry, and the right army to attack the left flank of the Numidian cavalry; The Chinese army and the reserve army fought directly in conjunction with Juguda's cavalry.

After giving the order, Michipsa personally led a thousand Gaturian infantry and his own personal guards to kill the Numidian cavalry group that had assaulted the central cavalry of Jugurdah; The melee battlefield of nearly 20,000 cavalry was already huge, and with the addition of 10,000 infantry, the whole battle scene became even grander.

The combat effectiveness of the Mickey Psi Infantry Corps is extremely limited, but the infantry of 10,000 people is always able to influence the situation on the battlefield; The Numidian cavalry, which had been imposing because of the superiority of reinforcements, fell into a sudden blow from the enemy infantry, and their morale dropped a lot.

On the contrary, the Jugurdan cavalry, which had been flanked by the Numidian cavalry, found a massive support from its own infantry; The momentum that was slowly sliding directly skyrocketed, and the balance of victory instantly tilted towards the side of Zhuguda.

Unfortunately, this situation did not last long; Less than five minutes after the infantry regiment at Michipsa joined the battle, his infantry was shocked by the tragic casualties and brutal fighting.

What was even more terrifying was that the infantry of Michipsa could not withstand the strong attack of the Numidian cavalry; Under Salah's leadership, the Numidian cavalry burst into an already formidable fighting force, killing the Saharan infantry with heavy casualties.

The Saharan infantry led the battle and supervised the Gaturian infantry suffered heavy casualties, and the problem arose; Are the remaining Gaturian infantrymen willing to fight to the death?

There is another issue that is clearly at stake here, and that is the question of the ownership of the Gaturia region; Whether or not the region of Gaturia is now occupied by Jugurda, and whether or not there was an independent kingdom before it, the indigenous people of the region have never changed.

In other words, the people of the Gaturia region were essentially part of the Numidian nation; The region of Gaturia was part of the former kingdom of Numidia, and the people of Gaturia recognized their homeland as the kingdom of Numidia.

Now, his homeland has sent troops to regain the lost territory, and the soldiers of the occupation army who supervised the death of himself and others have also been killed and wounded; Are the Gaturian infantrymen still willing to help the invaders Jugurdah fight against the Numidian army of the same nation as himself and others?

Therefore, after the heavy casualties of the Saharan infantry under the command of Mickey Pusa, the remaining Gaturian infantry immediately began to defect; The Gaturian infantry, who was powerless in battle, shouted the slogan 'Long live the Numidian Kingdom' with enthusiasm, and began to help Salah's cavalry to deal with the soldiers under the command of Juguda!

Such a situation not only shocked Salah, but also made Juguda himself feel unbelievable; After all, the families of these Gaturian infantrymen are under their control, how dare they defect on the battlefield?!

Actually, this is human nature; When the Gaturian infantry was not in danger of life and death, they would be coerced by Jugurdah to obey Jugurdah and serve Jugurdah because of the safety of their families.

However, it is really necessary to come to such a tragic and bloody battlefield; When the Gaturian infantry faced their own life and death, they thought more about their own lives than their own families, and who wouldn't want to live?

Even if Juguda wanted to slaughter all the families of the defected Gaturian infantrymen, it would not be possible to change the situation on the battlefield; Therefore, he could only lead his cavalry to fight and retreat, wanting to withdraw from the battle here as soon as possible.

This is not to say that Jugurdah has no chance of victory, after all, the Gaturian infantry is extremely limited in combat; Even if they all defected, Jugurdah still had the possibility of winning the battle, but Jugurdah thought of another outcome.

You must know that not all of the cavalry under the command of Juguda came from the Saharan Kingdom, and there were also a large number of cavalry troops from the Kingdom of Gaturia; What if these cavalrymen also chose to defect on the battlefield when they were hit by the infantry counterattack?

This assumption came to Juguda's mind the moment the Gaturian infantry fought back; Such a terrifying possibility made countless cold sweats immediately appear on Zhu Guda's back, and it also made him decide to give up this battle completely.

Needless to say, Jukuda's sense of smell is still very keen; It's a pity that it was already too late, and when the Gaturian infantry counterattacked, the Juguda cavalry, who were caught off guard, were not more shocked, but awakened!

In fact, at least half of the cavalry under Juguda's command belonged to Gaturia; In other words, of the 7,000 cavalry under Juguda, at least 3,500 cavalry were from the Gaturia region.

As the battle continued, the number of cavalry under the command of Juguda was now less than four thousand; Among them, the cavalry from Gaturia had at least more than 2,500, and the real Saharan cavalry was less than 1,500.

This is also a very real question, how can the cavalry of the surrendered army in the Gaturian region be willing to fight to the death for Juguda's ambition in the center of the battle? Those cavalrymen of the Saharan kingdom are the cavalry of Jugudah's henchmen, and they are the loyal warriors who are willing to sacrifice themselves for Jugudah's ambitions; Therefore, their casualties were naturally far greater than those of the cavalry of the Caturia.

Now, the defection of the Gaturian infantry had awakened the Gaturian cavalry; They also figured out that even if their own family was in the hands of Zhuguda, as long as they won the final victory and annihilated Zhuguda and his army here, wouldn't Zhuguda's power be destroyed? How can they threaten their families?

After thinking about this, the Gaturian cavalry on the battlefield immediately made their own choice; Following the complete defection of the Gaturian infantry, the Gaturian cavalry also defected on the battlefield!

In less than five minutes, Jugurda's thousands of infantry reinforcements and more than 2,000 cavalry under his command became part of the Numidian army; And the remaining strength of Juguda is only more than 1,000 cavalry and less than 2,000 infantry.

On the other hand, the enemy Juguda faced had more than 6,000 cavalry and thousands of defectors; In this battle, Juguda has completely lost, and the question he needs to think about now is how to fight his way out of the encirclement!

Just as Salah led his army to encircle and strangle the remnants of Jugudah's army, Tuka's Chengguan corps also engaged Mikpilus's infantry army; This time, Mikpilus also strengthened his vigilance and cautiously fought against the Chengguan Legion.

The Saharan infantry, who had been replaced with better weapons and equipment, involuntarily showed a timid look when facing the heavily armed Augustus hoplites; After all, there had never been such a powerful hoplite as the Chengguan Corps on the North African continent.

All the weapons and equipment used by the standard legions of the Augustan family are unattainable for the powers on the North African continent; What's more, the strengthened Chengguan Legion is simply a steel monster that can move in the eyes of light infantry!

Unfortunately, no matter how cowardly they were, they had to fight to the death against Tuka's Chengguan legions under the orders of Mikpilus; This is their fate, the fate of an ordinary soldier.

The existence of hoplites is itself to deal with the enemy's hoplites; The frontal battle between the light infantry and the hoplites was nothing more than a one-sided massacre. Not to mention the enemy's light infantry, or the North African light infantry with extremely poor weapons and equipment; Such a battle, there is no suspense from the beginning.

In fact, it was precisely because of the battle that the phalanx of infantry under Mikpilus was shattered by the four armies in front of the Chengguan Legion; After that, the high-spirited Chengguan Legion launched a full-scale assault on the enemy's lightly armed infantry!

Seeing the enemy hoplites in hundreds, the light infantry under Mikpilus were quickly defeated, and they were already suffering heavy casualties and on the verge of collapse before they could even organize a decent resistance.

This time, Mikpilus really noticed the strength of the Chengguan Legion; Unfortunately, now that the big picture has been decided, Mikpilus is powerless to change the tide of the battle. However, Mikpilus was not one to sit still, and he knew that although the Chengguan Legion was strong in combat, its mobility was very limited; Therefore, when the defeat was assured, he decisively chose to withdraw from the battle.
