Chapter 7 The Battle of Suato (2)
"Use the flag, and ask the right wing to change the formation and face the enemy head-on!"
But before the Serester's troops could react, the Gatulians on the front shouted in unison like thunder in the ringtone, and turned flexibly towards the small battalion behind Serester.
At this time, the trenches surrounding the small camp had not been fully dug, but when they saw the enemy attack, the four left behind immediately took out their weapons and stood in the direction of the enemy's attack, preparing to block the group of light-armed guys outside the camp. However, behind the group of black soldiers, many cavalrymen were erected, saying "upright". In fact, they were all running with the reins or tails of the horses just now. At the moment of picking up the enemy, they jumped onto the horse's back like lightning, shouting and charging bravely against the Romans' formation that was not yet neat.
The leader of the team was pierced by three spears before he could see clearly what was going on. The team's team also fell down, and then there was a storm-like brutal collision. Many soldiers in Celester were knocked back by horses into the trench they had dug up just now, and soon the formation became messy. At this time, the walking warriors of Getulia approached densely again, threw out the second wave of javelins, then drew out the sword and started slashing and slashing.
Seeing that the small battalion behind was in danger, Celester was anxious to turn around with six hundred Libyan auxiliary cavalry, and his sword flashed, trying to remove the enemy's attack. However, at this time, the Mauritanian cavalry rushed towards him, and also poured into the gap in his central front and took the opportunity to disrupt his infantry.
Now, the entire camp was full of cavalry battles until the city of Suato. The Mauritanian cavalry of Rabinus were equipped with saddles and hung hay bales on it. After hitting it with a scythe in the lightning, they threw it into the small camp of Celest like rain. Soon the wooden fence and towers were burning, and the soldiers guarding the baggage and luggage were crying and running around.
After the melee, the envoy Celest lost control of the troops from all sides and had to take his close cavalry and abandon the camp and flee to the garrison where Hetius was.
At this time, Hitius was surrounded by drum beats and trumpets. In the hurricane-like sandstorm, there was also a large wave of enemy cavalry approaching his position from the south. "Don't panic, you all came out of the disputes between the kingdoms of chieftains from Numidia to Afriga, and they were even more stoic than the thorns in the desert. Some of their tricks could not be hidden from us. They were close to the hills, and all the light infantrymen left the line, set up formations on the periphery, holding the catapults and daggers in their hands, and all the cavalry held them down, saving the physical strength of the mounts." Hitius kept calling the commands and repeating these commands.
