Chapter 27 Never Abandoning Each Other (1)
"If there are no Islamists, there will be no Rank Empire; if there is no Mohammed, there will be no Charlemagne." Pirenni's comment on the dialectical relationship between Europe and the rise of Muslims.
This time, Karenus and Angandinus had nothing to say, but only warned the young Caesar to first adjust the strength of the troops, break through the cavalry that Anthony was alerted to, then concentrate the troops, destroy one of his camps, and then wait for an opportunity to seize the rest.
"Everyone, I have already reconnaissed clearly. Now facing our Anthony barrier, there is only one legion, and the rest are taken by him to siege Dihemoth." Octavian was quite confident this time, and then Mesenas stood up, displayed and dictated the combat plan: the reorganized Forty-two and Forty-three legions were broken into several detachment detachments to clear the cavalry of Anthony's periphery, and then the Sixth Legion and the Chief Brigade of the Twelfth Legion served as the sharp knife team to attack the camps, and the rest of the teams were responsible for restraining the rest of the camps.
Then do this. Under the sound of the trumpets, two new legions, led by Pansar and Hegius, and under the guidance of Octavian, suddenly charged out from the camps on the left and right wings, and began to drive out small cavalry teams attacking Anthony in the woods and hills everywhere according to the pre-signature. They let the young soldiers get lightly and carry javelins and throw them continuously, and also get the support of the archers behind. Anthony's cavalry was dispersed and was unable to fight because of their dispersion, so they ran in groups toward their own barriers.
∈⊙,ww±w.
In the roar, the chief brigade of the Sixth and Twelve Legions, led by Hebrida and Tagus, lined up a neat attacking team and ran quickly. Just after Anthony's patrol cavalry, approached the camp in the middle of the Eighth Legion at a speed that was no less than the horses.
At this time, Curio happened to be in the camp on his right wing. With a warning sound, he climbed the tower in panic. Seeing that the central camp was in danger under the fierce attack, he asked the token officer around him to quickly ride a horse to warn Anthony to request reinforcements. He also directly asked the soldiers to ignite the war, so that the entire Mutina city would know. Octavian attacked.
At this time, the Sixth and Twelve Legions, with their iron shields, also quickly advanced to the area about 300 Roman feet in front of the camp. There, the engineers had already dug up shallow ditches and earthen encirclements for shooting under the cover of shields. Then the cavalry tent was in the center, and the rest of the infantry were scattered on both wings, one was poured out with lead-stone bullets, and the other wings continued to attack. Finally, the wooden fences and chest walls in front of the camp were broken, and Houhebrida
In front, Tagus was behind, and rushed in with his soldiers. The cavalry cannon also flexibly changed directions, blocking the ridge lines on both sides of the camp, killing and injuring many soldiers from the Eighth Army who came to reinforce the camp, forcing them to retreat and defend themselves. Soon after, the Central Camp declared fall, and the captured camp flags on both sides were sent to the young Caesar who was supervising the battle behind him, which made him feel uneasy.
After about a day, the Forty-Two Legion and the Forty-Three Legion also bravely advanced and seized a camp, or more of the Eighth Legion voluntarily gave up. They realized that the enemy was a strategy for each defeat, so they quickly gathered in the remaining strongholds and concentrated their forces to start a fierce resistance. The Eighth Legion was also a veteran army of Caesar's team. They fought all the way from the Gallic War and the Civil War, but were defeated without chaos. They held their shields and climbed onto the towers and walls one after another, and began to shoot fiercely with crossbow cannons and stick-casting weapons. Since the seven camps were low in the center and towering on both sides, they occupied a condescending territorial advantage, which greatly damaged the Young Caesar's army.
"Stand up, the Chief Executive will bring cavalry to reinforce us soon." Curio ran back and forth in several camps, constantly encouraging and dispatching people to support the crisis everywhere. The two camps on the ridge over there also resisted the death of their own centuries, and there was no chance of falling for a while.
It was already dawn, and Anthony naturally saw the beacon of the warning. In front of the Ninth and Tenth Legions, he shouted, "This is the conspiracy of the Senate. Young Caesar has to attack us in order to stay in the safety of the hostages stranded in the Romans. Although I had no intention of fighting with Young Caesar, when the sword stabbed towards our necks, even if the master of the sword was innocent, it would still endanger our lives, right? If there is anything, let's finish this battle first."
"No, we will never fight against Young Caesar. If his army attacks, they will surrender." The cavalry of the two legions said, "But we are not against you to save your life. Do what you want now! Just hand over General Libidaus's son to us." Then they drew their swords and asked Anthony to hand over Leo.
"This is not possible. This child is mine. I need him to prove the covenant with Young Caesar and Libida." Anthony suddenly grabbed Leo and drew his sword. "Listen to Leo, you have saved me. I know you will save me, right? I have had a marriage with your father, but now it has disappeared. We will join hands and fight back together." Anthony put the sword on Leo's neck and begged in a low voice.
"Soldiers, the covenant was secretly determined between my father and Father Zhi and Young Caesar in advance. If you force yourself to persecute now, you will violate the covenant." Leo indeed shouted.
On the other side, Anthony's general Wendythis always camped with the Fifth Legion. After learning about the token officer's delivery, he immediately realized that Anthony was in trouble, so he asked the Skylark Legion to collectively arm the army, and then briefly told them, "The Ninth Legion and the Tenth Legion may have mutiny for the reward issue and held the Chief Executive hostage." Most of the Fifth Legion were straight Gauls. When he heard this, he immediately put on neat clothes and vowed to safeguard Anthony's conscience and honor. Finally, everyone, including the most neat Taraco Cavalry Brigade, rushed out with Wendythis.
Then, the Dalmatian cavalry brigade of the 11th Legion, who was unknown, rushed out and joined Wendyth, and forced him to the tent of the commander who was thirty-year-old Stadia.
In the smoke and dust, Wendyth's cavalry rushed over. The number of cavalrymen that the Ninth and Tenth Legions surrounded Anthony was small and they were unwilling to fight with him on a large scale, which affected the innocent, so they retreated. Anthony pulled Leo and ran down the hillside quickly, and then stepped onto the mount sent by Wendyth. Anthony looked at Leo with a complicated expression and finally said, "Don't worry, I keep my word, but I will not accept such conditions when I am defeated. Everything will be discussed after I win."
