Augustus Under the Horseshoe

Chapter 588 : Cavalry Charge

“Attack! Frankish warriors!”

In panic, the Franks launched a counterattack against the elite tribes encircled on three sides. The barbarians in Roman armors threw three terrifying tomahawks before engaging the enemy. The axe blades roared with the sound of tearing the air, making the entire battlefield frightened.

The Eastern Goths suffered heavy losses in the fight with the same tribe, the Visigoths, the battle between the Goths and the Goths was quite terrible, and the most brave and militant humans in the North were fighting for their own glory. A helmet that was smashed into a deformed by brute force was stained with blood and brains, and the chain armor torn alive by the giant axe was completely stained red with blood.

Exhausted in the battle, the Dongge, the ogre, and the greenskin launched a terrifying charge once again, but were smashed by the oncoming flying axe. The Franks took the opportunity to charge the whole army!

However, the 20,000 Renegade Legion directly under Julian also circled from the left side of the Franks and outflanked them, defending the barbarians on the left wing of the Franks, facing the green-robed and silver-clad Renegade warriors under Julian’s command, like The goblin faced the main Roman battle groups of Gaul and Spain and almost collapsed.

The well-trained renegade warriors, wielding tower shields and short swords alternately attacked, like a killing machine, to remove the barbarians in front of them. The stumps and minced meat splattered all over with red blood.

Soon, the Franks were horrified to discover that they were surrounded by greenskins, ogres, Eastern Goths, and Renegade regiments. They were constantly shrinking and squeezing their living space. The Frankish princesses concentrated on their elites. A rift was torn on the right side of the encirclement, trying to break through and join his lover, the cavalry of Aetius.

However, the five thousand Teflin archers fighting in the rear threw away the compound longbows in their hands, took out the kite shield from behind, and the mace from the waist. They lined up in a neat line to act as the infantry to fight, and again blocked. Lived the gap.

Teflin and the hill giants, who had run out of ammunition, regained their combat effectiveness with the addition of a large number of logistics and labor. The rain of arrows that covered the sky once again shrouded the blood-colored battlefield under the shadow of death.

“Return to aid! Return to aid!”

On the right flank of the battlefield, Aetius commanded an army of tens of thousands of cavalry. The composition of this cavalry was quite complicated. Among them, 40,000 were Roman heavy cavalry from Spain and Gaul, and scout cavalry. However, now There is no reconnaissance mission anymore, all the scout cavalry are replaced with iron armor, facing the enemy in the posture of heavy cavalry.

In addition, there are 20,000 spear cavalry of the Goths, 5,000 of them are heavy cavalry built by the Franks in accordance with the Roman configuration, and 15,000 are Burgundy, Alemanni, and Saskatchewan. Almost half of the cannon fodder horses assembled by Kexun and other barbarians could not be covered by the signals of the Dove Whispering Court.

Under Aetius’ orders, they tried to assist the barbarians in the collapsed position. However, the tribe is also on the right wing, with 40,000 light cavalry composed of orcs, Germans, and cats, and 40,000 heavy cavalry composed of humans and horses. The force is equal to that of Aetius, and they will kill directly when the opponent retreats. In the past, Zhan Shuai couldn’t get back help.

On the left flank of the battlefield, sixty thousand dwarves are being watched closely by 40,000, and they dare not act rashly at all. The dwarves know very well that as long as they give up this anti-cavalry spear wall formation and start to move and reinforce, they will immediately be hit by a devastating charge.

On the left side of the center, Gaul, the Spanish elite, who gained absolute advantage, almost killed the goblins, destroyed the chariot they used as a one-time barricade, and fought with the auxiliary army in the second row.

This group of people is not so easy to deal with. They also accepted the training methods of Roman professional soldiers, but in the tutorial, there were only manuals for the tower shield and spear. They trained the tower shield and spear day and night for ten winters.

Moreover, in today’s increasingly rich tribe, even 20% of the auxiliary legions wear iron armor, and the remaining 80% are also wearing leather armor made of animal leather.

These people are not aggressive, but even in the face of the full-scale impact of the Roman regular army, they can stick to the front and stabilize their defenses. The Romans had an absolute advantage, but they were unable to turn this advantage into a victory, defeating such a huge shield spearman in a short period of time, and turned around to reinforce the nearby brutal alliance.

And even if they succeeded in reinforcements, the first enemy they had to face was the Yurian Renegade that was exactly the same as them.

In desperation, Aetius placed 80,000 cavalry into a wedge-shaped formation that could easily tear the local front. 15,000 brutal soldiers were placed in the front to act as cannon fodder and decoy. In the back, there were Roman and Gothic. , And the main force of the Franks.

The tribe’s cavalry were lined up in two rows, with 40,000 light-armored archers at the front and 40,000 heavy-armored horses at the rear.

Amidst the sound of horseshoes that shook the earth, 160,000 cavalry opened their positions on the great plain on the right flank of the battlefield and charged towards the opponent at full speed. The sound of the bowstring plucking was like thunder in nine days, and the rain of arrows covering the sky and the sun covered the entire **** sky.

The two sides had not yet engaged in the battle, and there were thousands of soldiers and horses that were shot into a sieve by arrows. They collapsed weakly in a pool of blood. They were then trampled by their own warriors at full speed in the rear into a pool of sticky meat sauce. .

“spread!!!”

The nomadic chief ten thousand households dressed in wolf skins gave an order, and the archers in the forefront disperse to the sides and distanced themselves from the enemy, while constantly shooting arrows to cover the sky at the Roman cavalry in the center.

On a turbulent horseback, archery is not accurate at all, but it doesn’t matter. The enemy’s tens of thousands of cavalry are overwhelmed by a large area. At this time, there is no need to aim at all, just cover the blow with the rain of arrows.

Aetius frowned. These nomads were as cunning as wolves. The nomad archers at the forefront were divided into two teams, circling the wings of the Romans on the left and right, and constantly shooting annoying arrows.

The Roman cavalry who charged at full speed had to face the main force of 40,000 celebrities. These monsters under the orders of Gorell, the first and second rows of men and horses are holding kite shields and halberds. The centuries in the third and fourth rows held a terrorist spear that was seven meters long and temporarily used as an ultra-long spear. The sharp tip of the spear crossed the shoulders of the centuries in the front row and placed directly in front of the first row. Constructed into a row of sharp spear walls.

And the horses and horses in the back bent their bows to shoot arrows toward the blood-colored sky, throwing rounds of arrows to cover the sky.

What a hell, these men and horses are directly in the cavalry hedge area, forming a special anti-cavalry ultra-long spear phalanx. Moreover, these half-man and half-horse monsters, while maintaining a long spear phalanx at a minimum, are moving forward and advancing frantically at the speed of a cavalry!
