Vol 6 Chapter 177: Crotone Battle (3)

Looking at the dust and fog in front, listening to the sound of the horseshoes that are close to the thunder, the heart of Capps is also beating vigorously, because he knows that the key to victory and defeat in this battle is the spear brigade he led. . Victory defeated the Syracuse's greatest advantage, and then opened the door to victory for the entire army's offense; defeat may allow the enemy's powerful right wing, even with the help of the cavalry, the whole army will fall into Dilemma.
Capps felt a great responsibility, but at this time there was no time for him to be nervous and upset, and his cavalry had already entered his field of vision...
"Give a spear!!" He vented his fear by screaming.
"Give a spear!" The team officers shouted.
"Going forward is life, back is dead!!! The advancer is born, and the back is dead!!!" As the captain of the company, Tapirus heard the shouting from the rear, he and the soldiers around him knew It was the 2,000 light armor who was dispatched to the back of the squadron and dispatched to the various regiments. They not only prevented the enemy from rushing into the spear brigade, but also played the role of the last line of defense. The power of the spearmen, during the drills of these days, King Davers has been very serious to remind all the spear brigade soldiers.
But even with the threat and reminder of the light armor behind him, Tapirus and his teammates are still shaking with the hands of the rifle, although the Dionysian cavalry has been used to play the enemy’s charge for many times, so that these recruits can adapt. But after all, it is an exercise, rarely dead, but now is the real battlefield, the huge momentum created by thousands of enemy rides is far more horrible than training.
The body of each spearman shook with the tremors of the earth, causing the slanting rifles to sway and collide with each other to make a "squeaky" sound...
Just then, there was a shouting shouting again behind him: "For the citizenship!!! For the land!!! To be the hero of saving Dionia!!!..."
The cry of the sound passed through the noisy battlefield and penetrated into the heart of each spearman, evoking the greatest desire in their hearts. The power generated by this desire gradually made their teeth no longer fight, the tongue was not shaking, and they could follow. The light armor shouted together. Every time they shouted, their volume increased by a few points, and the hands holding the pistol became more powerful. When their shouts turned into shackles and almost covered the hooves, a spear had firmly pointed in the direction of the enemy.
At this point, Capps was in a mood, and he praised what the spiritual victory method taught by Daveus was useful, while paying close attention to the situation ahead.
Nearly two thousand Dionysian cavalry have to withdraw completely from both sides. It takes time for the spear squad to vacate the battlefield in front of it. But Capps knows that he does not have time to wait, the enemy is likely After retracting or bypassing the front, he could not wait for his own cavalry to withdraw completely before taking action.
"Offensive!" He resolutely waved his arm.
The whole spear brigade has to meet up, and the enemies that are coming from the front are not the same as the Trionto River. It is the most worried about Caps.
This is also what Leders is worried about. He is afraid that his cavalry will directly hit his own spears because of nervousness or insufficiency of action, causing unnecessary losses.
"Go forward!" As the captain of the company, Tapirus, like other team officers, reminded his soldiers that the voice was still trembling.
The soldiers were still shouting slogans that made them excited, and began to move steadily in small steps. The soldiers in the back row are close to the back of the front-ranking soldiers, one sticking one, and the spears are sticking out from the right shoulder side of the soldier in front. Viewed from the side, the spears of 15 longitudinal soldiers formed a continuous "spear wall" with little inclination from front to back.
This cold and fascinating "spear wall", although it began to wriggle as the speed of forward movement began to increase, remained tight. This kind of closeness makes every soldier in the formation become more and more calm because of the collective strength. At the same time, this kind of tightness makes every soldier unable to escape from the battlefield even if he is afraid of fear. He can’t even turn around. The only thing that can be done is to move forward! Keep moving forward! Until the enemy is stabbed!
.................................
Horseback riding fast forward, the human spirit is very easy to enter the state of excitement, especially these awkward Celtic cavalry, they are already ready to stimulate the enemy with the rushing, but did not think of the enemy They turned and fled, and many people screamed. They repeatedly urged the horses to swear to catch up with these enemies who were afraid of death, smash them under the horse, strip off their good-looking armor, take their horses and cut them. Their heads are hanging right away. Even when the mercenary cavalry running on the far left was intertwined with Crotone, the Trina reinforcements, a handful of too excited alien cavalry went forward to attack and throw a javelin, and then the Dionian light infantry arrived. repel.
The foremost Celtic cavalry is getting closer and closer to the enemy, and many Celtics have pulled out their swords. At this moment, the faint shouts of the faint screams in front of the dusty fog made them horrified: there were enemies in front of them? !
Just as they started to be a little surprised, the enemy in front suddenly turned to the side, so that some cavalry chose to continue chasing, and some began to slow down the galloping horse. The rear cavalry was shrouded by the excitement of the companions and the hoof of the "hit", and did not notice the strangeness in front.
Tapirus, located in the middle of the Lance Square, has been able to see the enemies in front: they have their heads scattered, some wearing pointed leather helmets, wearing dark striped clothes, waving big swords in their hands, mouth Sending a scream of "hey...", one by one drives the high horses to rush to them...
"Hades blessed!" Tapirus couldn't help but pray to Pluto, and the soldiers around him yelled. Some soldiers even closed their eyes with fear, but their hands instinctively tightened the spears. This is A weapon that protects him and gives him psychological comfort on this terrible battlefield that cannot escape.
They are afraid and the enemy is equally scared.
When the enemy’s turn was found, some of the Celtic cavalry kept up in time, and some still wanted to slow down the speed of the horse. In the battlefield that was vacant in front, there was a sudden
shadow wall
in the dusty fog. The horses let them see quickly: it is not a "wall of people" but a "spear wall"!
The long pointed spears stretched out to them, not only made them feel creepy, but also the squatting horses kept screaming, but the inertia still let the Celtics even hit the horses...
Suddenly, people screamed, horses were miserable, blood spattered, and spears broke...
For the spearmen, fortunately, the dense spear wall formed by the four-meter spear made the enemy rider unable to sprint to the soldier and was stabbed. And because of the screams of the spear squad, the Celtic cavalry has been consciously slowing down, and the length of the spear has caused the cavalry to weaken, so most of the forefront The soldiers supported the strength of the rear soldiers, offsetting the impulse, and only a few of them took the rear soldiers together and retreated. Therefore, one Celtic cavalry hit the spear square, which caused some confusion in the array, but did not make the formation fragmented.
Of course, if the subsequent cavalry continues to impact, the squad of the spurs of Dionia will inevitably be washed away and the soldiers will retreat. However, this era has not been specially trained for the heavy cavalry of the intensive infantry phalanx. Even the fierce Celtic cavalry dares to attack the side of the infantry phalanx or rely on horsepower and speed to impact the loose. The light infantry team will not be stupid enough to take their own lives to harden the front of the heavy infantry phalanx, not to mention the fearful spear squares in front of them, even if they dare not dare, unless the eyes of the horses will be Blind, otherwise it will jump and yell again, squat the cavalry, then turn around and run away.
After the Celtics discovered the strangeness in front of them, the horses hurriedly ran, the reins were suddenly tightened, and the horses felt extremely uncomfortable. Some of them fell into arrogance and dismissed their masters; a few of them fell forward because the neck was suddenly oppressed and oxygen-deficient, and the rider was thrown to the approaching spear wall because of inertia, and was pierced by a sharp spear. ......
In the rear, the leader Gabba and many Celtics finally stopped the battle horses in front of them~EbookFREE.me~ At this moment, Gaba has not been angry with the tragic death of his men, watching the front is approaching dense The spear wall, he shouted in a panic: "Retreat! Retreat!..."
There is no need for him to scream at all. Every surviving Celtic cavalry can't wait to ribbed his wings and immediately flew away from the horrible spears that are approaching quickly. But just as they plucked the horse, the second wave of offensives, the Numidah cavalry, came to the ground and found the Celtic cavalry in the fog, just want to stop nearly two thousand runs. It’s so easy to make a war horse and make tactical moves to avoid it.
For a time, the cavalry exclaimed, the horses screamed, and the two sides collided together...
Some riders fell down the horse, and they got up in the future. They were stepped on by countless horseshoes. Even the screams didn’t come out, they died. Some people even rushed back to the front and slammed straight ahead. Advancing the spear wall...
More than 2,000 Umbian cavalry and Celtic cavalry were mixed together, and the horses stopped as if they were trapped in a mud. Realizing that the dangerous riders wanted to escape from this completely chaotic battlefield immediately, but the cavalry entangled and squeezed each other, there was no extra space for the horse to start, obviously it was impossible to rectify the order in a short period of time. The cavalry was successfully retreated.
