Chapter 30 Battle of Amon River (1)

"The warlords maintain their strength through destruction and death, and once they can survive this power, they can gain the eternal courage to fight against it." - Nevak

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

On this side of the Ouse River is a combination of shallows, forests, and a simple abandoned dam. Li Bida was very satisfied with this terrain. Then he rushed to the city of Asamangars as a military supervisor, carrying his seal of "King of Cyraniga" and mobilized the Serapis army to rush to the - leaving four brigades for Seerha to continue to siege the surveillance castle, and the other six brigades arrived at the Ouse River under the command of Alp, preparing to annihilate the reinforcements of the Garamantes.

On the other side of the river, Anthony, who received the order of Li Bida to die, asked all the Vibichinas to jump off their horses and use bows and arrows to continuously block the delayed enemy. The affiliated cavalry brigade was actually no less than the chief thousand-man brigade, with more than a thousand Gaul cavalry. After entering Egypt, he specially selected three hundred alien cavalry archers to enhance his combat power. So after discussing with Dussenvier, Anthony asked the Gaul chief to lead most of his troops to raid the opponent's advance. He led 300 cavalry archers to continuously pick up the infantry flank behind the Galamantes chariot and use arrows to kill and interfere with the opponent.

The cavalry were fighting with the Galamantesi chariots throughout the day and night, while Li Bida and several slave soldiers stood still on the river bank, waiting for Alp to come here with the main force of the Serapis Legion. After the second stairs, these black soldiers arrived at their destination one after another in a group of hundreds. "Damn it, do you think you are here to rest? That's a big mistake. Remember that you are now a Roman legion, and your skin color is suitable for the dark night.

Action in the process - build a simple barrier for me, check my bows, arrows, spears, and insert the shield on the sand!" Li Bida shouted loudly, using the flag and the flame flag to identify the positions of the various wings of the people, making these people busy. Now the most similar thing between the black soldiers and the legion is that while carrying the Habashi sword (a self-defense weapon similar to the Assyrian sword, the sword body is bent, which is conducive to blocking), he also carries a pickaxe and a shovel in his backpack, creating it frantically.

When the dawn began to appear, the tired Vibichinas cavalry were arranged in advance. Many people held the horsetails of the people in front and fell on the saddle, crossed the Osai River in rows, and entered the position behind. Many people lie in the middle of their luggage and fell asleep as soon as they dismounted. The remaining tasks are temporarily dependent on the six brigades of the Seripis Legion!

Li Bida divided everyone into three wings. It was arranged along the riverbank in irregular shapes. Among them, Alp, the right wing, was the most powerful, with three brigades, one of the middle wing and the left wing each - Li Bida himself led the chief brigade of Serapis, the Medegis guards and another infantry brigade. He was lurking behind the dense forest and the embankment, just behind the left wing.

In order to prevent exposure, Li Bida ordered the lurking soldiers to use linen to cover the shields, and the reflection of the spear tips covered the entire forest with sharp murderous aura, like a dark cloud mixed with bronze.

About a daytime tiar, the Galamantes found that the Roman cavalry that had been harassing them had retreated to the opposite side of the river. For the sake of caution, they let the accompanying infantry be in front, and all the chariots rumbled along the left wing, which was more convenient for the driver's vision, and also facilitated the crew and soldiers to throw javelins and stab the spears.

Their infantry discovered that just yesterday, about 3,000 to 4,000 soldiers appeared from somewhere in the Romans. Unlike the white-skinned guys they had fought before, they were all black men of the same kind as themselves. Half of them held bows and arrows, and half of them held spears. After forming a circle of temporary fortifications, they blocked the European River after forming a circle of temporary fortifications, boards and sand piles.

It seems that we need to continue to break through! At this time, Galamantes keenly observed that the opponent's formation was irregular, and the right-wing troops facing the chariot were obviously much weaker. Then the following combat plan was easily finalized: the infantry restrained the Romans' left wing, and the chariot was mainly responsible for tearing the right wing, then turned to attack the central wing, and then surrounded and annihilated the opponent's left wing.

Aren’t these black soldiers the Nubians of Egypt? Judging from the hundreds of years of experience in fighting with them, they are not afraid at all.

After the decision was made, the elite chariot warriors of Garamanteis, regardless of the days of combat fatigue (they were obviously more tired than the Vibichinas, but the other party was not as adaptable to the environment as their own), drove the chariots and rushed across the Osai River. The splashes of water flew high, like a tycoon in the Nile River.

On the other side, the infantry also formed a team and fought with Alp's left-wing troops in shallow water. Both vanguards used spears and light leather shields. Compared with the strict Macedonian phalanx, this kind of fighting was more free. The soldiers on both sides were dodging in the light and shadow of the spear tips, and some directly drew their swords and slashed, which was difficult to tell for a while.

The battle situation was the first to break through on the chariot. The elite warriors of Garamantes went forward and crushed the light wooden shields arranged by the Romans. They flew past the darts and arrows shot by the black soldiers, and rushed directly to the back of the opponent's right wing. The situation below was natural. Li Bida's right wing began to collapse. The soldiers of the Serapis Legion threw away their weapons and ran towards a forest on the side.

A lot of chariots were killed, forgot to attack the opponent's central wing and left wing in advance, and began to chase the opponent's defeated soldiers. But seeing the defeated soldiers jump into the dark forest, there was a trench covered with branches. At this time, the Galamantes discovered that things were strange, so they shouted at the horses and stopped their pace in front of the trench. In an instant, a row of fire-like javelins and arrows flew out from the dense forest. Several chariots on the head were killed immediately. The whistle, the sound of military trumpets and drums sounded, and there were figures rushing everywhere, shocking the chariots behind Galamantes.

They were so scared that they were unable to turn around in the narrow and narrow area. "Run over to me without any advancement!" Commander-in-Chief Li Bida shouted, lifting his two fingers and stretching out the flat, riding a white horse to rush out of the forest, crossing the trenches, and the soldiers behind him also walked out one after another, then half-kneeled and shot out bows and arrows.
