"A rabble. ”

Standing on the hillside, Mesimus muttered to himself as he looked at the army of bandits that were almost rolling in the distance.

Standing on the hillside, it is indeed clear that the flow of people like waves gradually rises from the horizon, with a faint cloud of smoke, crowded and chaotic, slowly filling the horizon.

"But they do have enough of them. Quintus stood aside and said, "Virgil is really not a soldier, they have at least two thousand men, enough to cause us considerable casualties." ”

"Six hundred meters. Leosis read, turning and standing, "Do you need to signal the cavalry?

"No, wait until they're within range of the ballista. The middle-aged soldier's voice was not loud, but it was very deterrent: "We must first give them enough blows, shorten the distance between us and us, force them to attack, and then use infantry to block their offensive and make them lose the courage to fight!"

"This will be the key to this battle, generals!"

"It's a crazy fight!" Quintus said incredulously, "it's hard to imagine that Caesar is much crazier than he seems." Or is this the passion of young people?"

"But this crazy tactic will make the brethren doubly glorious!"

"Yes, Mehemus, this should be the reason why Lord Weishenme will let you take command!" Quintus looked at Mehimus, bowed his head slightly, and saluted: "Only your cooperation can help Caesar complete this tactic, and no one is more experienced than you." A wonderful combination of experience combined with youthful passion!"

Mehemus smiled wryly and muttered, "I just want to see more brothers celebrate the victory with us." ”

"Five hundred meters!"

"Give the cavalry a signal! Leosis!" Mesimus turned his back so that only his broad back could be seen: "Order the ballista to prepare! Let the archers take the arrows!"

"Understood!" Leosis raised his right hand in a salute, then looked back at the archers' position standing uphill, and raised his right hand: "All ready!"

The soldiers struggled to break the ballista and put the clay pots filled with fire oil on the launch track, and the archers holding compound bows gently pulled out a flying arrow from the quiver on their right waist, put it on the bow, and stood in place without saying a word, waiting for the moment of waving.

The entire hillside was silent, only the creaking of crossbow machines, quiet like a lurking beast, waiting for its prey to come to the door by itself.

"Something isn't quite right. Colster stood at the head of the army, looking at the hillside from afar, the bright fiery red, beastly intuition giving him a peculiar feeling.

This gang is not easy to mess with!

With his sweaty palms clutching the long sword tightly, Colster hesitated, or should he hide in the castle?

Looking back at the army behind him, Colster smiled confidently again. Although there is no discipline, the sheer number of people is enough to intimidate many people.

In order to have the effect of fearing the enemy, he also deliberately deepened the line, becoming like a gray wave, moving slowly, these vulgar and barbaric, incessantly cursing bandit army, enough to drown the little hillside.

Moreover, there are more than 500 elites around him, all of whom are brothers who escaped with him, and they are genuine regular soldiers, and they serve as the backbone, at least to ensure that others will not easily flee.

It was a very rich lord, but Colster could see it in the sword, and when he caught him, let him give each of his brethren a good sword of this kind, and chain mail, and Salion's warhorse......

The more he thought about it, the more excited Colster became, and his body trembled involuntarily: "Baroque!"

"What's the matter? Head!" the excited Baroque stuck his head out of the side, like a pit bull with bared teeth.

"When you get to the bottom of that hillside in a moment, you will rush straight over with two hundred brothers!"

"And catch that fat pig who doesn't have the guts!" Baroque swung his axe and grinned with a mouthful of big yellow teeth.

"Don't worry, I'm going to put the biggest ...... then" Colster patted his head with satisfaction, his neck was cold, and he raised his head suddenly: "What?!"

The hot and hot breath swept overhead, accompanied by a blinding light and billowing smoke, and the burning fireball pulled its black tail and rushed violently into the gray waves.

"Knock ————!!!!!!!"

There was a violent explosion and a heat wave spreading out from the center of the explosion, as well as screams and screams of terror. Colster's eyes widened so wide that he forgot what he was doing, and he even saw the two unlucky ones who were blown up into the sky!

But he didn't have time to react, because he saw five or six more fireballs flying towards him from that hill!

"It's a ballista!" Colster shouted, "Spread the formation!

"Knock————!!!!knock————!!!! knock————!!!!knock——!!!!"

Fierce fireballs ravaged the crowded front, the billowing heat and violent shock waves scared their guts, and the castle behind them seemed to beckon to them.

"Run——!!!"

"Help——! Help——!

"The gods are angry!

"Damn cowards!" Colster slashed to death a bandit who wanted to escape, red blood splattered all over his body, making him look like he was possessed by a demon: "Attack me forward, that thing is very slow, as long as you rush over, it will be a pile of useless garbage!"

"Baroque!"

"Head!"

"Whoever dares to run away again will be slaughtered by me!!"

"Yes, head!" Baroque viciously wheeled the big axe in his hand: "I heard that there is no such thing as you eggless! If you want to live, give me your life!

............

The threat of death combined with the lure of wealth made these trembling fellows burst into courage again, raised their rusty swords, and trotted towards the nearby hillside with red eyes.

"Fool who is greedy for life and afraid of death!" Colster spat and wiped the sword of love in his hand with the clothes of the dead.

The ballistas were still roaring, but the sporadic impact could not cause much commotion for them, but instead made the eyes of the barbarians glow red, and the death of their companions, combined with the lure of wealth, made them ignore the scorching fireball, roaring and screaming.

"Three hundred meters!" said Leoss, a cruel smile on his lips: "It's sad, they don't have any decent armor, and their shields are pitiful!"

The arm fell gently, and the long arrows that had long been ready to fire burst out of the air, and the sound of the bowstring vibrating was incessant.

Overwhelming!!!!

Even many thieves found out that the sky was actually dark for a while, and when they raised their heads, dense flying arrows set up a curtain in the sky!

As long as you're human, it's impossible not to be afraid—because the densely packed arrows are barely spaced, and it's so easy to hit you!

There was little pause in the screams that pierced the sky, and the chaotic army kept taking away life after life, leaving only a scream and howl of pain. Robbers are robbers after all, maybe they have seen the so-called hundreds of people fighting, but the real war is something they dare not think of!

"Raise your shield! Charge—charge!!" The thieves screamed hysterically, brandishing their weapons in a panic and charging forward with their men.

Death without resistance always arouses fear, and when there is a little hope, like a person who is about to die of thirst, he is willing to drink poison even if he knows it's poison.

"A bunch of fools!" Colster's angry face darkened, and his angry and hateful eyes stared at the hillside in the distance, it was those people who had caused him heavy losses!

"When I catch that damn bastard, I'm going to get him back for me!!" The frenzied Colster swore through gritted teeth.

But his experience in the regular army helped him again.

He noticed that the ground was moving.

Although it was only a slight vibration, which made the small pebble keep bouncing back and forth, it was enough to give him a chill in the back of his neck!

"It's the cavalry! the cavalry is coming!" Colster shouted in horror, rudely grabbing Baroque by the collar, "Stop those fools, hold their ground, and form a defense!"

"But if we wait any longer, we'll all be shot here, boss!" Baroque howled with a cry, "Just rush over, we still have a chance to win!"

"Hurry, head, it's too late!" the brother who was behind him also advised.

Perhaps, these cavalry did not come to attack themselves, but to take the castle?

In that case, as long as you catch that guy, you still have a chance to turn the tables!

"yes, rush over there, just catch that guy and we'll have a chance to win. Colster widened his eyes and muttered to himself.

"Rush forward, brethren, let this gang of old men see the bravery of our free brethren !!"

"Roar——————!!!!! roar ————————!!!!!!!"

These poor people in the mountains and forests who only had one life left burst out of their cavities with a terrifying roar, and they launched a desperate charge regardless of the distance between themselves and the enemy!

If it was just a tide before, now it really turns into a stormy wave that seems to be able to break everything!

"Is it stupidity, or is it fearless?" said Mehemus, calmly watching what was happening, and the enemy's reaction did not exceed his expectations too much.

Charging from a distance of about two hundred meters, even if you rush in front of you, how much physical strength do you have left to fight?

Firmly drawing the saber at his waist, Mesimus raised it above his head: "Roman legions——, advance!"

There was no sound, only the slight grinding of armor, and the soldiers, leaning on their shields, formed a phalanx of spears, and walked towards the fierce-looking enemy with unwavering steps.

It was not a long straight line, and the generals of the Roman legions routinely arranged the entire legion in a zigzag shape in squadrons, a small change that could bring great damage, but the enemy looked at it from the point of view of the enemy, and it seemed that it was no different from a straight line.

Sixty meters!

The soldiers calmly drew a javelin from their shields and waited for the captain to give the order.

"Javelin——, throw!"

Although it was not a specialized heavy javelin, the enemy did not have much solid armor, so almost instantly, the bandits in the first row fell in a wave!

"Damn it, give them a taste of the javelin, too!" Colster ordered his men, such as javelins and axes, and throwing weapons like throwing axes, which almost every green forest hero would have on hand, and this thing was familiar to them.

But they were doomed to disappointment.

"Tortoiseshell array!" Before the javelins could smash over, the legionnaires in the first row immediately put their shields on the ground, and the ones behind raised their shields high in turn, and the thick Roman shields blocked all the "UFOs" for the soldiers!

That's where the zigzag queue comes into play - the soldiers in the back row have a chance to throw a second round of javelins!

The smell of blood was accompanied by a terrible howl.

"Touching ——!!!"

Hand-to-hand combat begins when the first robber hits the soldier's shield.

The two-meter-three spear wears any guy who dares to hit the phalanx into a meat skewer, and the bandits who have gone crazy have even reached the point of ignoring life and death, desperately trying to get close to the enemy in front of them, they are all people, as long as they fight with real knives and guns, the victory or defeat is not certain!

However, their enemies were Roman legions!

Perhaps, cavalry is really inherently stronger than infantry, perhaps, the sound of thunderous horses' hooves is really more intimidating than a strong shield, but it is not its cavalry that holds up that legendary empire, but the tenacious Roman heavy infantry!!

It was they who, by their own footsteps, built a great empire, in Britain, in Gaul, in Germania, in the Balkans, in Arabia, in Iberia, in Asia Minor...... Every place in the Mediterranean Shijie has their footprints! They are as strong as a rock and their will is like steel, they prove their courage with blood, and they exchange their loyalty for glory!

The cry of the wolf, the legend of the eagle, discipline, loyalty, tenacity, indomitable!

They were invincible Roman legions!!!

"The Roman legions marched ——, in formation!!"

"Roman legions ——, attacking ——!!!"

The generals cried out, and the soldiers fought hard against the enemy's pace with their sturdy shields, piercing them with their spears, and when the spears broke, they drew their swords and stabbed them violently through the cracks in the long wall of shields that were joined by shields, accompanied by heavy wheezing and roaring in their cavities!

Both sides are insisting, when one side can't hold on, that's when the other collapses!

But Colster and his free brethren were afraid that there was no such opportunity.

The earth was trembling, this time it was far more obvious than the last time, not only the former veterans, but even the ordinary hunters who had fallen into the grass had noticed it, and the thieves standing in the back row couldn't help but look behind them—

Cavalry Charge————!!!!

The knights of the Imperial Guard in bright purple armor and capes took the lead, and the neat queue seemed to be a moving long wall, and the flat mounted spears were like flying meteors, and the cold light was shining!

"No ——————————————!!!!"

The terrified screams of Colster reached the ears of all the people, who were more frightened than Colster, and the roaring hooves of the horses were accompanied by a heart-stirring cry!!

“strengthandhonor————！！！！！！！！！！！”
