Chapter 19 Two-Line Battle (Part 2)

The cavalry sent out was walking along the road with low visibility very carefully. In order to prevent the enemy's attack, the cavalry captain divided the team into three groups and connected one after another. Soon the outposts sent out an alarm signal. He saw that in the valley half a distance away from Stadia, swords reflected light and could hear the neighing of horses.

"Can you be sure?" the cavalry captain asked nervously the outpost that came to report the situation.

The other party nodded, and the cavalry captain hurriedly took everyone back without saying a word and reported to Scipio. "I knew it was indeed in my prediction!" The commander shouted with a somewhat proud look. Then he ordered all the troops to dig trenches on the spot, claiming to fight steadily. When the day clears tomorrow, he will send a powerful detachment to defeat the cunning Li Bida's ambush.

In fact, there were no ambushes. The sword reflected by Scout Scipio saw, but Mindaz arranged about fifty cavalry to hide there, holding hundreds of shields and swords, and forked them with branches, deliberately reflecting dazzling light, making the scouts mistakenly think that there were a large number of ambushes there. In addition, the so-called "campaign" of Mindaz only had a section of walls and wooden fences that were crossed on the cliff, and the rest were blocked between the peaks because the 1,000 cavalry under him built this section, which was also used to confuse Scipio.

Mindaz caught the other party, fear of being ambushed in Andabukia, and implemented a very clever fraud tactic to delay time.

At this time, the garrison soldiers on the tower of Taktun were surprised to see two huge teams in the wilderness under the city, at the fortress they were guarding as a gathering point, and were marching towards each other. What galloped in the south were thousands of murderous elite cavalry. Various hats and feathers, many of their eyebrows and beards were covered with snow foam, and the white gas exhaled by the people and horses was swaying like fog, and the sound of horse hooves was like thunder. Without any stop, they only cheered when they saw the long infantry column from the western streets, also coming to Taktun. They knew that it was the 15th Army that rushed to Libida Fort day and night from Libida Fort.

And the Twenty-Eighth Legion, they are also strangely shaped, blond, black-skinned, and Greek-Macedonian-like shields. The shields include Roman square towers, Greek-rounded, Afilica's animal-skinned shields, Celtic oval shields, and narrow and long water-drop-shaped shields that they had never seen before. However, most soldiers were wearing leather cloaks to protect their backs and faces, and the leather was covered with thick snow. It seemed that they had experienced an extremely arduous march last night. Among all the queues, there were also carriages shaking, carrying equipment covered with cloaks and leather. All the cannons sat on both sides of the carriage, with their faces blown by the wind.

"Karabia!" As the cavalry team rumbling over the wall of Taktun, the leading cavalry commander Libidaus extended his hand toward the towering city tower over there and shouted loudly.

"Long live the goddess of victory!" The Ubertnian soldiers on the city wall were unclear, so they unconsciously cheered such slogans in unconsciously.

"Come on with the cavalry commander, the two legions continue to maintain the marching mode of the column." The old deputy general Petternius immediately ordered. "Tell your comrades that we have no time to rest. Let's stay with the wine and the women until the triumph, and then enjoy it in Turkton!"

"No. It's directly enjoyed in the pearl of the Erkhin Sea, Sinopin." Serha, commander of the 15th Legion, corrected excitedly that he was very happy that his legion could participate in such a decisive war. You must know that even during his service in Egypt, he knew that Asia Minor, opposite the ocean, was full of wealthy cities and harbors. If he defeated the Copper Shield Army, the cavalry commander's men would be able to drive straight into the giant city called Sinopin.

So the marching continued in the wind and snow. At this moment, in front of the Amasia Valley, in the flat wilderness of the trumpet-shaped winds, the Minander Copper Shield Army camp, and the 12th Corps camp of the Karenus, was about three furons away from the two streams, which was determined by the location of the two streams. When Libida's five thousand cavalry and two legions were rushing toward this place, Karenus had fought fiercely with Minand for a day, on the battlefield of the three furons in the north and south.

Karenus cleverly used the hilly areas where his camp was located, and used wooden fences and trenches to transfer positions intricately, in order to limit the "spear forest impact" of the opponent's copper shield army formation. However, Minander has not given up his careful study of the sacred tactics of Alexander in recent years, and finally transformed the essence of Alexander's tactical queue. No, to put it more directly, the queue skills of the deep square array spear soldiers reached the pinnacle. Whether it is the "left ear" or "right ear", his copper shield army can flexibly divide a six thousand-man division into five to six regiments in an instant, and then split into three hundred contingents, similar to the size of the Roman legion. And for the detachment

, and can also switch freely between the dense phalanxes against the cavalry and the wide horizontal teams that charge, relying on a complete set of extremely complex command systems, coupled with the cooperation of light infantry and Salmatia cavalry, the 12th Legion failed to defeat its sharp and flexible offensive during the battle that day, and lost two small camps, but gave the other party a considerable blow. At dusk, the Copper Shield Legion, after a series of strange military horns, the detachments hulaed their spears, and then moved closer and gathered together from various terrain, then turned around collectively, leaving a whole array of guards, shouting victory slogans, and retreated back to their camp.

After nightfall, the first three thousand reinforcements from Taktun City, led by Adianna, arrived under the leadership of Biduita, which brought great excitement and courage to the 12th Legion. Commander Karenus made timely adjustments and sent them all to his left-wing camps, and instructed the chief centurion Tagus that on the morning of the next day, he would launch an attack with these reinforcements and take back the two small camps that had been lost on the ground today. "Otherwise, when the cavalry commander arrives, our army will lack a gathering place for cavalry assaults, and I will be very honorless."

However, before the 12th Legion took action the next day, Li Bida's five thousand cavalry galloped. After many cavalry arrived at their destination, they dismounted in groups of three or three, lay on the ground exhausted, and the rest of the comrades came over, and everyone stepped on each other's ankles to relieve the fatigue of their muscles and bones.
