Roman Slave Owner

Since the enemy's reserves have not moved, neither can his reserves.

A large number of crossbowmen and slingers crossed the formation and walked to the front of the formation.

They lined up in six rows, with the first row squatting in the first two rows, and the second row standing and aiming ahead.

Oops.

Dumigios said.

What's wrong?

asked Iabbas.

In the past, the enemy's crossbowmen only shot one row at a time, but now they shoot two rows at the same time. Could it be that we were caught in the trap?

Dumigios said.

Iabbas thought for a while, his complexion changed drastically.

At this moment, a cavalryman ran over quickly.

The big thing is bad, our elephant soldiers have all run away.

What did you say?

Iabbas said with a shocked face.

The enemy frightened our elephants with the sound of gongs and drums, and then attacked the elephants with cavalry, leading them all away.

said the cavalryman.

Hearing this, both Iabbas and Dumigios' expressions changed drastically.

No, we fell for it. Li Wei wanted to lure us to a decisive battle with him in the wild.

Dumigios said.

This...how is this possible?

Iabbas still had an unbelievable expression on his face. Didn't they run out of water?

No, they fell for it.

Iabbas finally came to his senses, that damned bastard.

At this time, the armies of the two sides finally came into contact.

Let the arrow!

Annius said loudly.

The soldiers in the front row of the brigade he commanded pulled the trigger, and the rain of arrows flew towards the enemy's position like locusts.

Then it fell on the enemy soldiers, some arrows were shot on the soldiers in the front row, and some arrows fell over their heads and fell on the soldiers behind.

Numidia has just entered the agricultural society, and its productivity is low. It is impossible for everyone to wear armor.

This round of arrow rain caused huge damage to them.

Especially those cavalry, because they didn't have stirrups, they didn't dare to directly attack the dense phalanx.

Because the consequence of that is that they fall off the horse, and what they do is they rush thirty or forty meters and throw the javelin.

But in the process, they have to face two rows of arrow rain in a round of 6 seconds, which is almost a luxury at all.

The Third and Fourth Legions recreated the scene of the Han army against the Hun cavalry, and the Numidian cavalry could not approach them at all.

Their arrow rain is stronger, even denser than the Han army.

Line after line of cavalry charged the infantry, falling in the path of the charge.

At this time, the Numidian infantry performed better than the cavalry. At least the soldiers in the front row had shields, even if these shields completely blocked their bodies.

When the infantry entered 80 meters, the archers behind the crossbowmen raised their bows and arrows and began to throw bows and arrows at the enemy.

A dense rain of arrows fell on the Numidian hosts,

The soldiers screamed again and again.

Dumigios looked at all this with disbelief. When did the Roman army become so strong that it completely overwhelmed the Numidian infantry and cavalry who far outnumbered him.

how can that be?

Iabas was a little dumbfounded. The scene of a violent victory over the Roman legion did not appear in his mind. Instead, the Romans defeated the Numidian cavalry. Even the infantry looked very bad.

what should we do?

asked Iabbas.

Dumigios frowned, and at his suggestion Iabas also prepared a reserve, but the enemy's large cavalry did not move either.

Is it time to put the reserve team into the battlefield now?

Do not! Never do this!

Once this happens, they are doomed!

We have to be patient.

Dumigios said.

After at least a few rounds of arrow rain, it is unknown how many soldiers fell.

The Numidian infantry were at last thirty yards in front of the crossbowmen, just as they were jubilantly about to throw their javelins.

Those crossbowmen and archers all retreated, revealing the Rhode Island slingers behind them.

Those slingers waved the stones on their slings, just turned around, and then the stones roared and flew towards the Numidian infantry.

boom!

boom!

...

The stones hit the infantry, and some of them were bleeding from the head.

Some soldiers threw their javelins angrily, but the slingers had already started to retreat, retreating to the rear of the formation, and only a few slingers were hit.

At this time, the first row of Roman soldiers was already in full battle, and they threw shot puts at the enemy.

The shot put hit the soldiers, and some of them were smashed directly.

A large number of javelins flew up from behind and threw them at the soldiers.

The Numidian infantry screamed again.

attack!

said a military tribune.

The Roman soldiers standing in the front row rushed towards the enemy with neat steps, and then fought with the enemy.

Since there were very few Numidian soldiers in armor, the two sides immediately distinguished the pros and cons.

The weapons of the Numidian soldiers had nothing to do with the Roman soldiers, but the Roman soldiers stabbed a hole.

Especially the First Legion, equipped with steel swords, was like a tiger descending the mountain, rushing through the enemy army and killing the Numidian infantry.

Both Dumigios and Iabas were dumbfounded, how could this be?

It's okay if the cavalry is defeated, but the infantry is also defeated.

And the defeat was not so fast, and soon there was a tendency to collapse.

Quick, let the reserve team come in and block it for me.

Iabbas roared loudly, pointing in the direction where the First Legion was attacking.

Dumigios shook his head. What's the use of this? It will still fail in the end. The difference in combat effectiveness between the two sides is too great.

Rather than sending them into battle, it is better to let them cover and escape.

Seeing that the enemy had put the reserve team into battle, Li Wei was finally relieved.

This battle is won!

Notify the cavalry, let them go around, don't take part in the battle, and capture Iabas and Dumigius alive.

The two messengers beside Li Wei said.

The two messengers took Li Wei's number plate, mounted their horses and galloped towards the cavalry.

Blow the trumpet and order the armies on both wings to attack in the middle.

Li Wei said to the bugle player next to him.

At this time, the cavalry had been beaten to collapse by the troops on both wings, and they began to flee one after another.

Those bugle players immediately blew their crooked bugles, and the loud bugles resounded throughout the battlefield.

The military flag was waved, and the flags representing the armies on both wings pointed to the center at the same time.

Attack towards the middle.

Belieus said loudly.

The two wings of the army began to attack the center at the same time, and the Numidian infantry collapsed even faster when they were pinched by the two wings of the Roman army.

This is impossible!

Iabbas said with a look of disbelief, how could he lose?

He has many more soldiers than the Romans! The cavalry is stronger than the Romans! They also have powerful elephant cavalry!

Dumigios shook his head. At this time, his eyes were fixed, and he found the dust rising in the distance.

They want to outflank their rear!
