Chapter 266: "·War of Cadiz·Four"

The tragic and painful encounter is a face of life shown by the endless cycle of fate, but we are often flattered by good luck and forget the dark side, so when we hear a tragic story, there is a A feeling of waking up from a dream.
- Giovanni Boccaccio (outstanding representative of the Italian Renaissance, humanist)
Whether the armies of the Roman city that are working at full power can save the fate of Gattus, it really depends on whether the soldiers of Gattus can resist the front and back attacks of the Francis army. This is the suffering of the Cheetah Legion. .
Never thought that there would be an enemy cheetah army behind him, they had always focused their attention on the enemy troops in front of them; the screams of killing on the battlefield made the cavalry's rushing sound difficult to detect.
It wasn't until the enemy cavalry entered the valley of Cádiz that Gattus, who was in charge of the operation, discovered the rolling smoke in the rear; the shocked Gattus didn't even have time to react, and subconsciously slammed his side The soldiers ordered:
"The third and fourth phalanx squadrons all turned around to meet the enemy! Quick! Quick!!! Quick!!!"
The unknown spearmen had long been used to obeying orders during the training in Rome; when Gattus's shouting orders were heard by them, they gave up the battle ahead and turned back without hesitation. Array.
The formation of the pikemen in the Macedonian phalanx is like this. Every 64 pikemen are a hundred, and sixteen hundred are a brigade; not all of the third and fourth brigades ordered by Gattus. Turn around and turn around.
The dozen or so Hundreds in the fierce battle are impossible to withdraw from the battle, because once they withdraw from the battle, the frontal phalanx of the entire Cheetah Regiment will collapse, and they will not be able to withstand the fierce attack of the enemy themselves. escape.
Gattus, who has not enough experience and combat experience, issued the wrong order in the face of an emergency; fortunately, the soldiers under his command did not fully execute his wrong order, otherwise the Cheetah Legion would be true No longer exists.
Even if the Hundreds did not execute the order and saved the frontal defense of the Cheetah Legion, the lancers and soldiers who hurriedly turned to the array had not had time to display their lance array, the enemy cavalry had already been killed!
Without the battlefield as a relying on the pikemen, under the full charge of the large cavalry, they could not block the frontal assault of the cavalry; in an instant, the temporary formation formed by Gattus was breached, followed by the fighting Macedonia The phalanx was also broken!
The sudden appearance of the cavalry completely defeated the Macedonian phalanx of the Cheetah Legion. All the pikemen in the phalanx had to quickly throw away the spears in their hands and draw out the short swords around their waists to connect with the enemy short soldiers.
If it wasn’t for Bai Feng’s deliberate order to equip every pikemen with a defensive dagger last time, I am afraid that the collapse of the phalanx was enough to turn these pikemen into lambs to be slaughtered by the enemy; in fact, there are With the dagger self-defense, the spearmen could not resist the attack.
The surging enemy forces surrounded the generals of the Cheetah Regiment who lost the advantage of the battle like a tide. Francis also officially issued a general attack on this Roman city army; watching the desperate struggle of fewer and fewer enemy troops, Francis’ face Finally a happy smile appeared.
As the systematic arms summoned by the ice priest, the Spartan heavy infantry and the Macedonian Royal Pikemen are not equipped with short swords; their main weapons are super long guns and round shields, and the short daggers around their waists are their bodyguards. arms.
One Spartan heavy infantry centurion has been killed, and the two hundred Spartan heavy infantry have fewer than one hundred people. As for the Royal Macedonian Lancers, all four of their centurs are killed. The remaining quantity is less than a hundred.
The only remaining Spartan heavy infantry centurion has an awesome name-Leonidas! Perhaps the fiasco on the battlefield angered the rage in his body, or the fierce fighting awakened his subconscious madness.
In the life-and-death battle, he threw away the round shield in his hand, clenched the spear in both hands, and flicked his five-meter-long ultra-long spear stiffly; all the enemy troops who were close to him were punished without exception. On the spot, there is no ability to resist!
"The Spartan warriors, follow me!" Leonidas, who killed an open field, shouted new orders to the Spartan heavy infantry who were still fighting hard; Sparta who found the backbone of the Spartan The heavy infantrymen immediately followed Leonida with a spear.
Leonida, like a of war, took his Spartan heavy infantry and rushed around in the encirclement of the Francis army, constantly rescued the other pikemen who were divided and besieged; even Gattus Became a member behind Leonidas.
After turning the tide, Leonida gathered up about 500 pikemen, and soon attracted the attention of Francis. More enemies were killed in the direction of Leonida.
The fierce Leonida, led by the Spartan heavy infantry and the Royal Macedonian spearmen, rushed back in the direction of the valley of Cadiz; whether it was the enemy cavalry or the enemy infantry that was blocking it The intrepid lancemen swept away.
"The soldiers of Sparta and Macedonia continue to move forward to resist the enemy forces in the valley; the other soldiers, arrayed on the spot to resist the enemy forces outside the valley; the governor’s reinforcements will soon arrive, as long as we persist Victory is ours!"
As Leonida led his army back into the valley exit, he immediately issued a new order to the hundreds of soldiers present; no one thought of Leonida’s order even with the presence of the regiment of Gattus. There was nothing wrong, and everyone executed the order without hesitation.
Leonida personally commanded more than 150 spearmen of Sparta and Macedonia, fighting hard to resist the continuous impact of cavalrymen in the valley with a straightened phalanx of lances; Gattus commanded more than 200 spearmen , Desperately resisting the crazy attack of the infantry outside the valley.
Dreaming about this situation, Francis was shocked. He was not shocked by the strength of the Roman city army, but by an ordinary Roman city junior general who could save the situation at the crisis.
The Cheetah Corps, which was almost completely wiped out by the Francis Army, finally withdrew nearly 400 remnants into the valley, and reorganized the rifle phalanx; those Cheetah Corps soldiers who were still struggling in the enemy army are now desperately desperate. The direction of the valley closed.
Before the arrival of Bai Feng's reinforcements, Leonida, who was born in the sky, used his own power to rescue the nearly destroyed Cheetah Legion. This has to be said to be a miracle created by the Roman city system army.
While the soldiers commanded by Leonidas and Gattus were desperate to meet the enemy's offensive, Antio's Governor's Guard and Brono's Tamron Corps rushed to the battlefield at the same time; they launched an attack on the Francis cavalry outside the valley. The full battle begins!
