The appearance of this unit is neat, its morale is high, and there is not the slightest disorganization and disconnection in the process of marching, which is really commendable for a unit that has been assembled in a hurry, and the average quality of the soldiers and the command system of the army should absolutely not be underestimated.

And the equipment of this army is really luxurious and a little scary, and every soldier is actually equipped with standard shuttle armor and metal helmets.

Horses were ubiquitous, some for men to ride, others to help soldiers carry bundles of supplies. On closer inspection, many of them turned out to be bundles of spears and shields.

On the other side, you have to rely on equipment to crush your side to death.

Seeing this, Jin Zhan hurriedly commanded the rebel army to collect as much weapons and equipment as possible on the battlefield in the process of retreating, especially the square heavy shield.

Try to get a little bit of a replenishment of your gear in the time you have left.

Retreat was already impossible, as the opposing cavalry units had already begun to outflank their flanks. At this time, only by maintaining a posture of shrinking defense can we avoid being broken by the opponent.

Almost all the generals and ordinary soldiers of the rebel army, large and small, realized that the situation was very unfavorable for them.

Elligon, Drogba, Morris, Ganix and others, who were originally full of confidence, had already shown a very solemn demeanor at this time.

Although they can't be as discerning as Jin Zhan, they have insight into everything about each other. Intuitively, the opponent on the other side is really strong. I'm afraid that except for the strong gladiators, the rest of the soldiers have very limited physical strength.

To fight a tough battle with such an opponent is really unpredictable, and the retreat seems hopeless.

At this point, this terrible adversary didn't want to give them any time to think and react, and the Roma army began to close the encirclement they had formed.

The rebels had to stop waiting for the bus to prepare for this very unfair battle.

Aligang and other generals of the rebel army mustered up their courage and desperately encouraged the soldiers to resist stubbornly. Constantly reassuring the soldiers to believe in their own strength, the opposing opponent will eventually be defeated by the rebel army like the previous opponent.

A smart and swift formation was formed again. It is still the most mature and most efficient Mandarin Duck formation in the first army, but this time the opponent waiting for Mandarin Duck Town is not the traditional Rome phalanx.

Rather, it was a dense rain of bullets that rained down from the sky like locusts.

Jin Zhan watched in great amazement as the army on the opposite side kept pulling out a terrifying metal javelin. Almost every Roman soldier in the front row had already picked up his javelin and was ready to throw.

Although Jin Zhan's command reacted very quickly, how could the rebel army resist this overwhelming javelin attack.

The number of javelins thrown by the soldiers in the front row of the Roma army was too large. Although the rebels relied on the square heavy shields they had collected earlier, they were able to withstand waves of javelin attacks.

But after all, the mandarin duck battle array is equipped with a limited number of shields, and it cannot completely cover the protection of the entire army. And this javelin rain seems to be endless, and there is another wave after another.

The kinetic energy of the javelin is far higher than that of the arrows, and the mandarin duck battle array of the rebel army is equipped with a large number of rattan players. The rattan brand can be very efficient and perfect against the damage of ordinary swords.

But for that kind of penetrating javelin attack, it is much less effective. As for the gaps in many shields, they have also become the focus of the dense rain of gunfire.

The soldiers of the rebel army, who were brave and good at fighting and killing countless enemies, fell one after another in this wave of guns. This kind of painful experience has never happened since their bloody Kapuya uprising.

Jin Zhan and Spartacus saw it in their eyes and felt pain in their hearts. Among the rebels who were shot with javelins were gladiators armed with wolf whisks. Originally trained by blood and fire, they have grown into excellent warriors.

Now he was slaughtered in such a humiliating way, and he didn't even get a chance to fight head-on.

Jin Zhan seemed to be able to see the mutilated death of the rebel brothers and their round eyes, interpreting the unwillingness and death in his heart.

Raging anger burned in his melee body again, but he had to carefully analyze his opponent in order to find a chance to win.

That level of javelin attack is too terrifying, and you have to know how much it costs to make a standard javelin. But the other side turned out to be in this almost money-burning way in exchange for casualties on their side.

This kind of battle is purely won by money, and Jin Zhan saw that the other party's follow-up troops seemed to be constantly transporting supplies from the ship to the front line.

Fortunately, Jin Zhan's previous order was answered, and the cavalry troops on the rebel side's side were already desperately attacking the encirclement formed by the cavalry of the Roman army at this time.

Jin Zhan had great confidence in the cavalry units of the rebel army, and he believed that there was no reason for his side to fail under the hedge of the two cavalry units.

Therefore, he immediately gave the order to all the ground troops to retreat in the direction of the cavalry breakthrough, abandoning all the captured materials and marching at full speed.

Before the next batch of Javelins from the Roman army arrived, the rebels quickly evacuated. Looking at the corpses of his companions who have experienced several battles together and have excellent tacit understanding. The officers and men of the rebel army were all heartbroken.

I really want to take advantage of the moment when the javelin has stopped to rush forward and fight the opponent, so that they can return the money with interest. But now that Jin Zhan's order has been issued, they have no choice but to choose unconditional obedience.

Because the rebel army can achieve today's record, it is fundamentally closely related to Jin Zhan's extremely powerful battlefield command that almost never makes mistakes.

Therefore, the rebel army has formed an instinctive tacit understanding from top to bottom. Responding to orders on the battlefield and responding to the orders of superiors as quickly as possible is the first point of battle.

Watching the rebels suddenly switch from a dense defensive formation to a fast marching column was amazing.

Crassus's eyes narrowed, but he felt the difference slightly, and he didn't sigh too much, and immediately gave the order to pursue.

He knew that the number of cavalry troops he had sent was far superior to that of the rebels. If the other party wants to break through, it is not easy to talk about it.

And if there is no hope of breaking through, then their rash retreat will make them miss their foothold and fall into a more passive situation.

For this battle, he can be said to have taken great pains and spent a lot of money, hiding all his army in the upper reaches of the river. It wasn't until this perfect time that he appeared on the battlefield, like a divine soldier descending from the sky.

No matter how developed the intelligence system of the other party is, there is no way to catch any trace of them.

Now he is going to crush the difficult opponent in front of him to death through his absolute superiority in numbers, equipment, and physical strength.

Faced with the breakthrough action of the cavalry of the Strange Army, Crassus hurriedly deployed all the cavalry troops on both flanks to reinforce the gap position.

The heavy cavalry units of the rebel army, led by Spartacus himself, were led by Kress and played the most critical role in the surprise attack.

Once this opening is opened, the enemy's encirclement will naturally not be formed. In this way, the large army of the rebel army behind him can basically retreat safely.

Fortunately, the heavy cavalry unit in front of it lost some stamina in the first battle against the opponent's cavalry. In the later pursuit battle, there was basically no decent resistance, so at this time it was still a relatively physical force in the entire army.

And in terms of equipment, the most important thing for this heavy cavalry unit is strong armor and heavy cavalry guns. None of these equipment are so easy to wear out, so their combat effectiveness has basically remained seventy or eighty percent.

Now under the courage to rise, he can still exert his invincible strength. Spartacus did not know the cavalry as well as Kress and was familiar with all the key command positions.

But after all, he is the commander of the first army, and the morale boost brought by the coach charging first is also incomparable. Therefore, the heavy cavalry troops, with rolling momentum, once again picked up their cavalry guns and rushed to the enemy's encirclement with determination.

Crassus's cavalry had apparently never seen such a strong heavy cavalry force as the rebels. Under Fang Yi's contact, it is naturally unbeatable to turn over on his back.

As a cavalry team, they were actually not as well trained as Graeber's cavalry team. In particular, the horse's riding skills cannot be improved overnight. Unless, like the rebels, they are equipped with standard saddles and stirrups.

Looking at the one-sided battle situation, the Roman cavalry commander did not seem surprised, nor did he have any idea of retreating. He just followed Crassus's instructions, constantly expanding the cavalry on both flanks, and constantly thickening the siege wall here.

Once the heavy cavalry units on the rebel side chose the direction of the breakthrough, it was impossible to change course at will. Otherwise, the speed advantage they have built up will be depleted.

Therefore, this heavy cavalry force was deeply inserted into the opponent's horse herd as if it were in a no-man's land. Spartacus and several cavalry generals in the rebel army also rushed more and more surprised, and became more and more frightened. Although the cavalry of the opposing side suffered heavy losses, it showed no signs of defeat.

It's unimaginable, seeing the companions around him, being picked off the horse without even a single enemy. But they didn't even have much change in their expressions, they were still resolute, and they rushed over to block the gun's eyes regardless of their lives.

Neither Spartacus nor Jin Zhan could have thought of this. Because the army chosen by Crassus can be described as scheming and well-intentioned.
