Chapter 673 Reinforcement?
The quiet fallen leaves were lifted up by the horse's hooves.
Then, more and more horse hooves roared and thundered the earth. A German cavalry completed the detour and rushed out of the hidden woods and charged towards the flanks of the Roman legion, which was erected. The spear and longbow were set up in the speeding spear. Opposite, the Roman array javelin streaked across the sky, and the shield came forward, and the piercing corpse fell off the horse. The ownerless war horse hit the shield. The hind limbs were thrown at this moment, rolling and smashing into the crowd, and the dust particles were shaking up.
"The barbaric Germans thought they were Selius from the East? Kill them all." Under the guard's Eagle, the commander of this legion issued a loud order.
When this Germanic cavalry, which had only two thousand people, had already begun to turn as the Roman heavy stance on the side of the square formation. The cavalry rushed into the front line, and the people and war horses rolled in an instant, bursting blood and flesh, and accepted the disadvantages of their own battlefield. The Roman legion targeted the cavalry. In addition to the standard short sword, shield, chest armor, short crossbow and two long and short spear-dropping weapons, it also added a heavy spear. The thick spear rod strengthened the impact resistance. The diamond-shaped spearhead pierced the body of the charge horse, and a large amount of blood gushed out. The horses stood up and fell backwards. Before the Germanic cavalry rolled on the ground, they were chopped to death by the dense crowd.
In the chaotic fight, a tall cavalry with a slightly raised chest armor rushed in with a shield in one hand and a patterned knife in the other. Arrows flew over from the side, and she held a shield and blocked it by her shield. A Roman centurion opposite also suddenly jumped up. In the chaos, the knight who put down the shield made a short shout. It was the voice of a woman. The patterned knife slashed the centurion's short sword, and the sparks splashed out from the splash of gold and iron.
The war horse deflected and avoided the two spears that were stabbed. On the right side of the covered iron helmet, the crowd rushed away, and then there was a loud bang. The cracked shield fragments were blown up in the air, like a burly figure of a lion. The iron armor in its body rushed out of the crowd. The surrounding spears and short swords hit the iron armor and made a sound of gold and iron scraping.
The giant sword swung out. With a huge roar, Gerald rushed over, the sword edge slashed down with a roar, and the heavy blade hit the back of the retreating Roman centurion. The refined breastplate also burst and exploded in an instant, and his body flew forward, and then the face was shattered from the front by a patterned knife.
"Don't bother you... retreat quickly. Your army is still too far away from Gongsun to fight with the Romans!" The burly figure rushed over with a giant sword and shouted loudly.
"No!!"
The war horse turned around uneasyly. On the horse's back, Stephanie shouted at her brother, grabbed the reins with one hand and struck the direction, and waved the knife with the other hand, chopping the Roman soldiers who rushed up to the ground. In the face of the armor, the pale blue eyes swept across the battlefield, gritting their teeth: "What the Han Dynasty people can do, the Germans can do, too!"
When Constantine fell into Gongsun Zhi's hands, the Roman city of the Italian Peninsula was also actively fighting against another Eastern army on the southern coastline. However, the defense line in the north was still under the order of the new emperor Marcus Aurelius Annunus, that is, Caracala, three defense lines were constructed from Thrace to Macedonia, and two Macedonian legions and three Thrace legions were added, among which the Thrace cavalry recruited more than 25,000 people on the spot.
Stephanie and Gerard were more than 5,000 infantrymen who advanced eastward, and when the cavalry passed through here, they were finally discovered by a legion on the left wing of the defense line. From the initial battle to the current nearly half a month of fighting, they were unable to cross this barrier.
The Roman legion under the Eagle was about forty years old, with a chin shaved and a half-closed eye with calm response. Seeing the brothers and sisters over there and the Germanic cavalry rushing on the flank, he turned his horse over and said, "Let the Thracian cavalry go up, rob them of their rear path, and advance the front row of infantry."
While the order spread as the trumpet sounded, on the plain behind them, long smoke rolled into the sky. The commander of the legion looked down at the underside of the war horse. A moment later, the small stones trembled and shook slightly on the ground. In his question, "Cabiner?", soon, the scout who was running back brought confirmation news: a Selius cavalry was coming here from the east Constantine.
soon.
The roar of war horses sounded from afar, and then it became bigger and bigger. In the eyes of the legion commander who reacted, the figure of the leader, the horse, the spear, the white helmet tassels and the white cloak swayed backwards. Behind him, the outlines of ten, hundreds, and thousands of riders rushed towards this side. The violently churned the iron hooves and stepped on the stones, squeezed with great force, and the fine stones flew out.
"The Seliusians..." The commander of the Eagle swallowed his saliva, his will was a little shaken.
The movements of thousands of cavalrymen were surging, and they were also noticed on the front line of fighting. Gerald used his sword as a shield to push away the two of them, and then retreated: "Sister, it's Gongsun Zhi's cavalry..."
"It's his person..." Not far away, as if exactly as she had expected, a smug look flashed in her eyes after the covered armor, and the corners of her lips were slightly raised: "I'm finally here to welcome us. It seems that he likes that child Dimat very much."
The patterned knife was raised, and the woman raised her arm and pointed to the rear of the Roman army. Her voice was extremely hoarse: "All soldiers obeyed the orders, our reinforcements have arrived, and kill them in the name of German honor!!"
"kill!"
The Germanic cavalry surrounded by half-armor gave up their opponents, roared and gathered towards the women, gathered into a torrent, turning on the chaotic front line, spreading and rushing towards the rear of the Roman formation. At this time, the eagle flag behind the formation began to shift direction. In the years of formation deployment, the Roman marquis formation usually had very few troops, with only about fifty general guards. Although the commander of the legion was recommended by the Senate, he also experienced the battle formation.
"Go" At this moment, he had only time to shout out for retreat.
The sound was drowned by the sound of roaring iron hooves for the next second. The white war horse jumped up to cover the sunlight. Several Roman guard cavalry were shrouded in the shadows. The gentian spear cut through the air. While one person picked out blood plasma from his neck, it threw it forward. His left hand suddenly drew his sword and slashed it down. Another Roman cavalry's arm holding the sword fell down. The moment the horse's hooves jumped high fell to the ground, the white horse returned to the sheath, and the jade lion rushed out between the two horses. Zhao Yun grabbed the gentian spear inserted in the chest of the third cavalry, pulled it out, waved his arms again, and the cloak was spilled at this moment.
