Roman Empire of Total War
Chapter 265: "·War of Cadiz·Three"
Although the beginning of this book is desolate, it is like a precipitous high mountain, blocking a beautiful plain, and turning over the high mountain in front, you will come to that pleasing realm; the hardship of climbing will redouble the joy. Of course, Le Ji is sad, and when misery is at the end, unexpected joy will also spring up.
-Giovanni Boccaccio (outstanding representative of the Italian Renaissance, humanist)
The Macedonian phalanx greeted by enemies on three sides was quickly stretched out in strength. Behind them was the long archer deployed by Gattus. The three thousand pikemen in the rear did not come at all for a while. They could only rely on I went to fight by myself.
The longbowmen's volley continued, and the offensive of the army of Francis became more and more fierce; the forward Macedonian phalanx, led by the Spartan heavy infantry and the Macedonian Royal Pikemen, managed to stabilize their formation after a hard fight.
The elite warriors who were originally responsible for covering the flanks of the spearmen have now fallen into fighting with the enemy, and the number is also in a sharply reduced situation; while the army under Francis is still advancing at the point of continuous engagement.
The army of Francis, which has a partial advantage, is compressing the Roman city of Macedonia square by bit. The straight line of casualties rises slowly, so that the tightly formed Macedonian square also has to slowly tighten the formation.
Two pots of arrows were shot by the long archers in only 20 minutes, then the long archers quickly turned around and withdrew from the valley, making way for the pikemen in the rear; thirty minutes after the war, under the command of Gattus All of the pikemen advanced to the valley exit.
The Macedonian phalanx in the front is fighting hard, and the pikemen in the rear have enough time to rectify their formation and quickly joined the battle; the addition of this powerful new force has made the front soldiers who are fighting hard They immediately reduced their pressure.
The Macedonian phalanx composed of more than three thousand five hundred spearmen is much stronger than the Macedonian phalanx of less than a thousand people; just maintaining a steady advancement, the Macedonian phalanx commanded by Gattus himself once again outward The breakthrough range was doubled.
Such a situation is obviously very detrimental to Francis, but his face has a strange smile; all the tens of elite warriors and 15,000 ordinary fighters under Francis’s responsibility have been blocked at the exit of the valley. .
After such a long battle, the army of Francis, whose casualties have risen linearly, has never increased its strength; with Francis’ war experience, he cannot make such a low-level mistake at all, unless he does something else!
This is indeed the case. When Francis was directing the army to fight the Gattus’s Macedonian phalanx, the 10,000 elite cavalry under his command were passing a very hidden path to the back of the Gattus army.
Why did Nabazzani and Assam not choose the Cadiz valley to stop the army of Francis, but chose the mountain path east of the valley to stop it, because there are hidden trails that can go directly to the valley ten miles away from the left side of the valley Both sides.
The Essini who are familiar with the terrain know the existence of this hidden path, but there are no people in the Roman city who are familiar with this hidden path; because this hidden path was discovered during the civil war, it has been far away from the civil war Eggers did not know this trail.
If Bai Feng brought Upton when he decided to go out, this hidden trail could not become the fatal weakness of the Roman army; unfortunately, there is no regret in this world. From the beginning of Gattus’s army into the valley of Cadiz Nothing can be changed.
The thousand long archers who withdrew from the valley did not retreat, but left in place outside the valley, waiting for the arrival of the army of Baifeng; the Francis cavalry who successfully circled to the west of the Cadiz valley soon appeared in the valley. The rear of the department of Gattus.
The rumbling sounds of thousands of horses surprised the long archers under Gattus. They knew that there was no large cavalry in the Roman city army; when they were overwhelmed, they had thousands of enemy cavalry. Here it is!
The unprepared long archers only had time to pull out their short swords, and they fell into the sea of cavalry; the cavalry who roared without slowing down, they used their own impact to wipe out this one under Gattus. Thousand Long Archers.
The body of the ground was still bleeding, and the cavalrymen after the annihilation of the long archers had aimed their charge at the Macedonian phalanx, which was fighting hard; the unprepared Macedonian phalanx, was nothing to the deadly threat from behind. Don't know!
At this time, Bai Feng’s main army was only ten miles away from the Cadiz Valley; the Pattaya cavalry patrolling back and forth found the trail of the enemy cavalry in time, and quickly rushed the news back to Bai Feng .
When Bai Feng heard the information sent back by the Parthian cavalry, his face changed on the spot; the elite cavalry under Francis appeared behind the Gattus army, and the danger of the Nagatus army could be imagined.
Although Bai Feng had dispatched Brono's Tamron Corps and Gattus to the Cádiz Valley when he gave the order; but Brono's Tamron Corps was slower in marching, and they also Five miles from the valley of Cadiz!
The wrong information caused Bai Feng to give the wrong command, and the generals who executed the wrong command made the wrong decision again; a series of errors caused Gattus's army to fall into a situation that could be destroyed at any time, and Bai Feng had to hurry to learn the facts. Commanded:
"Maxi, you immediately go to General Brono's Tamron Corps and let them go all the way to the valley of Cadiz; tell General Brono that the life and death of Gattus and his army are all dependent on him. Tamron Legion!"
"Yes!" Maxi, who understood the serious situation, drove away as soon as he was ordered.
"Darnell, you immediately go to inform General Gamilios and General Bazel; let them accelerate the march immediately and rush to the valley of Cadiz as soon as possible. Today is our decisive battle with Francis!"
"Yes!" Danell led away.
"Antio, you immediately lead the officers of the Governor's Guard at full speed. Be sure to rush to support General Gattus before General Brono's Tamron Corps to ensure that the main force of the Cheetah Corps will not be annihilated by Francis!"
"Yes!" Antio immediately turned around and ordered Wendell and Simpson, and his governor's guard was about to rush to the valley of Cadiz to reinforce Gattus's army.
In addition to issuing these orders, the Parthian cavalry who had just returned were dispatched by Bai Feng again; only this time their task was not to detect the situation of the enemy, but to find the path where the enemy cavalry appeared. This is Bai Feng. The top priority.
In addition, the Chinese army that Bai Feng himself was sitting in began to advance at full speed; the Roman youth army of Li Xini, the long archer of Perez, the Eagle Legion of Aiges, all the soldiers were under Bai Feng’s order in order to Then, all unnecessary materials were thrown away.
