Volume 3 Spartacus Chapter 105 Heavy Riding Shows Might

Today, there have been a series of accidents in one day, and every Roman soldier has a bad breath in his heart that is difficult to swallow. At this time, there was finally a chance to clash head-on with the opposing cavalry, and how could they not fight to the death without bravely moving forward.

However, they did not expect that the size of the enemy's cavalry would be so large. And the troops in the front row of the enemy's cavalry were actually heavy cavalry with full armor.

They didn't have the heart to think about why the rebel army of slaves had so many horses and supplies to equip such a strong heavy cavalry force in such a short period of time, and they could only grit their teeth and rush forward now.

If the breakthrough fails, they will be surrounded by fire with pursuers in front of them, and there will be a little room for escape.

Kress also saw that the enemy cavalry finally broke free from the quagmire and launched a decent hedge against his own side. At the same time, he glanced around and found that the 3,000 light infantry had already been dashed by his own front troops, and the remaining remnants of the defeated army were being surrounded and suppressed by other ground forces on his side.

Now he can start a decisive battle on horseback with the other party heartily. This kind of cavalry hedging scene, Kress has been in his mind many times in reverie. But when it came to the end, in this kind of shouting and killing of thousands of horses, he forgot all distracting thoughts and integrated into this continuous torrent with all his heart.

30 meters, 20 meters... Kress silently calculated in his mind the distance from the enemy's front troops. Then suddenly there was a shout, "Throw the spear!" ”。 With this earth-shattering roar, the cavalry behind Kress threw their short spears at the Roman cavalry in front of them.

Then a series of short spears pierced the sky like a rain of rain, whistling towards the oncoming Roman cavalry.

The rain of short spears took advantage of the terrifying relative speed of the two armies when they were hedged, and almost instantly reached the Roman army's formation.

With the terrifying relative speed bonus, these short spears have a strong piercing power. At once, it pierced the breastplates of the Roma soldiers, and a dense wail and scream emanated from the Roma cavalry unit.

Where did they think that the other party's heavy cavalry unit actually carried so many short spears with them. And the other party's equestrianism is so mature that he can use this kind of all-out throwing action on the horse, and his body is still as stable as Mount Tai, which is not affected.

And if they knew that this heavy cavalry force was almost all composed of strong gladiators, they should feel a little understanding and comfort.

Those gods of war who have survived life-and-death battles, coupled with the powerful assistance of saddle stirrups, how can they be stumped by this horse technique.

The real headache for them was still to come, and the Roman cavalry quickly caught up with the rebels as they ran all the way, and lost a lot of horsepower in the middle.

In addition, the horse's momentum came to an abrupt halt in the previous sprint, and it also caused a long period of confusion. It can be said that the side of the Roman cavalry is already a little sleepy, and it only relies on a strong will to survive to make a last stand.

But the heavy cavalry troops on the rebel army's side are completely doing the work with ease. In fact, the horses that this heavy cavalry unit rode were completely different from the horses that Kress had used to attack the camp during the day. Under Jin Zhan's teaching, Kress cherished and planned horsepower to an almost harsh level.

In order to exert the maximum power of the heavy cavalry charge, he hid the blood of the strongest and most capable horses to the end. At this time, it was used to attack the unsuspecting light cavalry camp, as well as the Roman cavalry troops, which could be regarded as the end of the crossbow, and it could be said that it already had a crushing advantage.

Finally, the heavy cavalry camp on the rebel side collided with the Roman light cavalry unit. At this moment, there is no longer any conspiracy and trickery, and there is no room for adaptation and maneuvering. There is only a naked duel of powers.

And the rebel army undoubtedly has a crushing advantage in all aspects in this duel.

In particular, the heavy cavalry units at the forefront were almost entirely composed of gladiators. This powerful force smashed like a heavy hammer into the ranks of the Roman cavalry. As soon as one look at the face, the rider in front of him will be knocked off the horse or killed directly.

Without a sufficiently reasonable stirrup design, the main position of the Roman cavalry is actually the flank guardian of the infantry phalanx and the pursuer at critical times. After all, if you want to form the level of sprinting power of the rebel heavy cavalry, you have to rely on the genius riding skills of the combination of men and horses, and obviously they do not have this ability.

As a result, the Roman cavalry troops, which still had a certain numerical advantage, were defeated and retreated in front of the iron walls of the rebel army at this time. The troops in the front row could barely see any knights, only panicked horses galloping around the battlefield.

Kress's lance, after reaping the lives of many enemies, finally broke in a single impact. He casually drew his saber and performed on the horseback more happily, dancing one after another. Everywhere they went, nothing but a mist of blood and shredded armor remained.

For the first time, the cavalry of the Roman army truly appreciated the terrifying strength of the gladiators. Even if they are placed on the flat ground, they are still one to ten, or even one to hundred. In terms of bonuses, the terrifying impact of the mounts shows their skills and strength more perfectly.

Gradually, the number of cavalry on the side of the Roma army became smaller and smaller, and some of them chose to turn around and flee after rushing out of the camp. After all, the one-sided battle situation in front of them has already frightened them, so where are they willing to continue to do this senseless struggle?

But at this time, the whole camp was really in chaos, and the light infantry who had fled everywhere before had also been completely inferior in the battle against the ground forces of the rebel army, and the corpses of the infantry could be seen everywhere. This also seriously hindered the Roman cavalry who wanted to rush out and escape from the ascension.

Luckily, some Roman cavalry with better riding skills escaped from this chaos, but he was greeted by a rain of bullets projected by the rebels.

What they didn't expect was that during the daytime battle, the Roman army stuck a large number of spears into the ground in order to cope with the cavalry charge on the rebel side. In the end, they hurriedly retreated to the rescue, and left the spears in place during the fire.

As a result, the rebels were able to harvest a good and sufficient number of spear weapons, which, with a little handling, formed short spears that could be thrown. Therefore, at this time, anyone who has the physical strength can be assigned several short spears for projection. In front of this three-dimensional damage net with full coverage of the ground and air, the Roman army could not escape even if it was winged at this time.

By the time the rebels' heavy cavalry units joined the mandarin duck battle formations on the ground, a large number of Roma troops had been wiped out of the entire battlefield.

I have to admit that the combat effectiveness of the Roma army is really strong, and in the face of absolute adversity, they can still maintain a certain combat effectiveness and will to fight. Especially when the front platoon troops suffered huge battle losses, they were still able to stabilize their emotions and make the most powerful response. It can be seen that this Roman army has a strong and tenacious iron-blooded military soul.

However, when the rebels saw the tenacious style of the Roman army, they did not appreciate it, but only inspired them to have a stronger revenge mentality.

Because it was this kind of incomparably strong Roman who really carried out the expropriation and destruction of their homeland in their hometowns such as Golu, Germania, Thrace, etc. Displaced a large number of people, making them slaves to the nobles of Rome.

In particular, the hatred of people like Kress and Spartacus for the Roma army is deeply engraved in the bone marrow. How could they easily let go of such a wonderful opportunity for revenge in front of them.

Spartacus, as the commander and spiritual leader of the First Army, could not help but devote himself to the fierce fight in this large-scale battle. There are probably not a few Roman infantry with his own hands.
