Chapter 2 Dismounted Cavalry (Part 2)

"Don't look back and forth, just push me up Dukes!" Li Bida shouted angrily, "Those who hesitate, immediately implement military discipline on the spot."

At this time, in front of the Sweaver chariot camp, the main Roman forces of the five legions of the Romans came up in a black way, and Aliovestus could only dispatch the main force to fight against Caesar's front main force. The six Romanians in the middle were on the left and right sides. The three wings of the left and right sides of the two sides clashed and fought. The young men of Seweaver stood on the front line with a shield half naked, while the young soldiers wearing long chain mail stood on the second line. Finally, the noble cavalry and servants of Aliovestus were firmly occupied by the numerical advantage, plus their strong physical strength and bravery. Tens of thousands of women stood on the top of the Sweaver camp, crying and screaming, stretched out their hands and exposed their chests, so that their warriors would fight with all their strength today, and not let them be insulted by the short Latins. "Qianjinjian" and finally sold them as slaves.

In order to welcome the decisive battle, each legion, in addition to the commander, also arranged a provincial financial officer in the province to go in. He was afraid that the senior generals would die in this decisive battle, which would lead to a collapse of a certain wing. Therefore, the financial officers sent to the front line for them, Caesar's request for them was: Once the commander died in battle, you will shoulder the responsibility and continue to command the army with the chief centurion. If you escape in fear, I will never be ruthless in implementing military discipline and will not take into account anyone's identity.

Moreover, in the direction of formation, Caesar gave up the traditional third-line formation. He placed the strongest combat power of the Seventh, Eighth and Tenth Legions in the center and arranged them into a total of six rows of rectangular horizontal formations. As Milu suggested before, there was a distance between each horizontal formation, which was to supervise each other to prevent the soldiers in the front team from retreating in fear of war, and to enhance the strength of key breakthroughs. The Ninth Legion placed by Caesar on the left wing was also responsible for timely reinforcement of the 12th Legion in the direction of Mount Dukes, and the 11th Legion in the right wing was Apis. Finally, Caesar and his cavalry general Crassus, with 6,000 cavalrymen of various tribes of Gaul, preparing to respond to their own gap.

In this way, the two sides, a combat team of no less than 70,000 to 80,000 people, took dense steps to each other and collided rapidly in the open area. In fact, because the speed was too fast, both the Romans and the Sweet Weaver people lost the opportunity to throw javelins and instantly joined forces.

"Haha, have you seen the Eagle Flag of the Ninth Legion? There is no need to worry about the Weaver people coming from behind. The Twelve Legion has only one target, that is, to capture Mount Dukes!" Li Bida saw the Ninth Legion who was fighting at the foot of the mountain, and knew that this was the support arranged by Caesar. He loudly encouraged the soldiers and attacked the top of the mountain.

At this moment, even though the brave Weaver people broke into the "mezzanine" of the hollow square formation, the panic of the Roman front did not appear. The Vibichinas' arrows even shot together with the Romans and Weaver people, regardless of their enemies. The Weaver people finally couldn't stand it and began to retreat towards the top of the mountain. Standing on the front line, Milu, who saw that almost all the German horses were dead or injured, raised the flame flag of the First Team 100, using this as a sign.

The hollow square formation of the Second Legion quickly turned back into a double-line horizontal formation, and the Vibichinas cavalry put away their bows and arrows and boarded the horses. Through the passage between the hundreds of people, they entered the pursuit of the Sweet Weaver people. The opponent had no chance to regroup. On the back, they were killed by the Vibichinas who were chased like lightning. The infantry brigade followed closely and gradually tightened the encirclement net on the top of Dukes until they killed the remaining guards of the Sweet Weaver people on the top of the mountain.

In this battle, the powerful Sweaver cavalry lost the battle before facing the formation of Libida infantry and dismounted cavalry, and more than a thousand people were killed. The Dukes position was lost, and more than 400 horses were seized, and injured people were covered in the grass on the hillside.

Just as the main forces of both sides were in full swing, Li Bida's troops erected a blood spear cloak on Mount Dukes, and the mountain falcon flag of the 12th Legion, shouting long live the mountain, and the sound shook the entire Renus River battlefield. Then, the baggage team specialized military slaves, stimulating the supply of food and generous rewards, transported the wild donkey stone thrower to the top of the mountain in one day, and bombed the camp of the Sweet Weaver people. The eighteen cavalry artillery dropped and began to shoot at the flank of the Sweet Weaver people. Except for four brigades guarding the vested positions, the other six brigades, including the Chief Thousand-Man team, rested on the spot for a while, and with the Nine Legions next to them, increased the oppression of the Sweet Weaver people's right wing.

As soon as Li Bida's 12th Legion occupied the commanding heights, he fought against several aspects at the same time, and the whole game was alive. The main force of the 20,000 Germanic army on the right wing was Marco Moni, Nemedes and other small Germanic tribes. He did not have a strong fighting will. Under the frontal assault of the Ninth Legion and the side bombardment of the 12th Legion cavalry artillery, he began to collapse into the chariot camp without persisting for a long time. At this time, the Ninth Legion and the Twelfth Legion advanced in unison, preparing to collect the greatest merits of this battle.

"Do you want to bring cavalry to support our right wing?" A noble chief said to Aliovestus, but the king waved his hand and kept talking to himself: "The witch followed me and divined for twenty years. The divine will be wrong. The vast Renus River will definitely help me--the Sweehui people on the right wing would form a Phalanx phalanx formation to resist the depth of the Roman infantry, and I will personally lead the cavalry to the left wing, there is only a Roman legion there, and looking at the flags and equipment, it is just a weak auxiliary army. As long as I defeat the opponent's right wing, there will be a chance of victory. Don't worry, the witch's divination will never make mistakes, and will never!"
