About 2,000 archers standing in the three rows in the front row of the phalanx heard Anthony's order and quickly drew arrows and put them on their bowstrings. At the same time, several young warriors holding torches swam in the middle of the archers' team and shot them one after another.

All the arrows that had been coated with grease were ignited. The centurion shouted: "Get ready!" The flaming arrow clusters were pointed directly at the city wall of Patavien.

"Launch!" Suddenly hundreds of rockets carried the sound of wind, cut through the cold air, and flew towards the top of Patavien City. In an instant, the top of the city was ignited by fire. The fire quickly spread at the top of the city. Betic side

Commanding the city defense team to extinguish the fire, he ordered the injured who had been shot to be removed from the city walls. Rockets were fired at the raindrops.

The Macedonian soldiers were hit by arrows and fell down one after another, twitching on the ground in pain. The wailing sound was like poison that violated the will of other soldiers. The strong Betic ordered the archers to fight back.

.At the same time, it is still inspiring the soldiers and keeping their minds clear.

Antony prepared enough arrows for this siege. Seeing the fire burning at the top of the city, he began to order the infantry to attack the city. Dozens of siege towers pushed by 20 people jointly slowly advanced towards the city. Attack

Behind the city tower was a team of centurions.

They raised their shields high above their heads to resist the arrows fired by the Gauls from the city. Seeing that the siege tower was approaching the city wall, Antony commanded the archery troops to move forward closer to the city head.

, so that shooting can be more accurate.

"Get ready to fight!" Betic shouted, and the Macedonians gathered at the place where the siege tower was about to arrive. While raising their shields to resist the flying arrows from the city, they were ready to attack and prepare for hand-to-hand combat.

There was a "boom" and the 10 5-foot-long logs on the front of the siege tower were pressed against the city wall. Then the Roman soldiers began to get into the tower from the back and climbed up the stairs one by one to reach the top of the tower.

The archers in the meantime stood at the front of the shield and continued to shoot at the Macedonian soldiers who were preparing to fight at the top of the city. As the shield was lowered, it was placed right on top of the city.

The Roman soldiers used shields as cover, and five people in a row advanced towards the city head along the springboard laid with baffles. The Macedonian archers fired arrows at the Roman soldiers, and the vacancies of the fallen Roman soldiers in front were quickly filled by those behind.

, advancing towards the city head step by step. The Gauls who tried to jump on the springboard were shot down by the Roman archers on the tower and fell to the bottom of the city.

After a shout, the first group of Roman centurions rushed to the city and started a melee. These Roman soldiers were all veterans over thirty years old. They had followed Caesar in Gaul for many years and had conquered many cities.

They who have experienced hundreds of battles are not here at all

There were almost as many Macedonian soldiers as them. They pressed closely together, supporting each other and filling each other's positions. Their bodies were tightly protected by shields. Although the Macedonian attack was fierce, they still could not shake the Roman infantry with strict combat discipline.

progress.

The fighting of the soldiers in front opened up a larger space for the centurions that followed. More Roman soldiers rushed to the city. The Roman short swords exerted great power in hand-to-hand combat. The Macedonian soldiers

They were chopped down one by one. There were also many Macedonian women among them.

They are as brave as men and have no fear. The Germans in the jungle are also afraid of them. But today they face the Roman army. Their courage seems a little weak and powerless in the face of extremely high tactical literacy. The Roman soldiers trample on them.

The body continued to advance.

After seeing that the situation on the top of the city was extremely favorable to him, Anthony ordered the siege chariots to start attacking the city gate. At the same time, his 1,000 cavalry also began to move towards the city gate, getting ready to enter the city.

Not long after, the city head was occupied by the Roman army. Betic and his remaining defeated soldiers retreated into the city. The city gate was easily knocked open.

When the city gate was knocked open, Caesar ordered the herald to issue an order to the fighting soldiers: "Kill all the men and women in the city, and you may enjoy the wealth to your heart's content."

The fire in the city reflected the entire sky red. Cries of killing, wailing, and the clash of weapons echoed in the air. Caesar took a deep breath, smiled and said to himself silently: "The glory of Alexander is over.

."

Yang Rui said from the side: "Don't be happy too early. Macedonian reinforcements are already on the way. If you don't eliminate them, your victory will be meaningless."

Caesar nodded and said: "You are right, it seems that the soldiers can't put down their weapons yet."

After saying this, he ordered the herald to inform Antony that the battle must be fought quickly, because a new battle was still waiting for the Roman soldiers.

There is about three days' journey between Patavian and Mediolanum, and the Rune Valley is the only way to pass through. On the night when Caesar captured the city of Patavian, he and Antony brought this army with them.

The victorious troops arrived at the ambush site.

In this operation, Caesar led 2,000 cavalry, 50,000 infantry and most of the archers. He divided the troops into two parts and stationed them in the dense pine forests on the upper slopes on both sides of the valley. Because it was a covert action,

Bonfires for heating were banned. Soldiers relied on strong alcohol and huddled in sleeping bags to survive the cold.

On a winter night, Caesar did not specialize himself because he was a commander. Sharing the joys and sorrows with the soldiers was an excellent tradition of the Julius family. At night, he went around to inspect the soldiers. The soldiers shivering in the cold wind saw Lucy

The eternal smile on Ersi's face and after hearing his funny jokes, it became clear that he was no longer afraid of the cold.

The Macedonian reinforcements entered the hinterland of the Loon Valley on the afternoon of the next day. Caesar could see clearly in the dense forests on the high slopes. They numbered about 50,000 people, including hundreds of cavalry. They moved quickly along the dry river bed.

Head east.

Caesar quickly walked to the edge of the pine forest, where 1,000 archers were ambushed. Behind them were 2,000 Roman light cavalry ready to go.

"Be careful, shoot their cavalry first." Caesar instructed the centurions of the archer group. Opposite was the other half of the soldiers led by Antony. They had already agreed on the method of attack. They were just waiting for the movement from Lucius' side.

.

The Macedonians moved quickly towards this side. They were dressed neatly in armor, and the Macedonian spear phalanx was a nightmare for all the countries in the Mediterranean. In their urgency for rescue, they did not even notice that there were 60,000 Roman soldiers ambushed in the dense forests on both sides.

Suddenly, a sharp Roman bugle sounded. When the Macedonians were looking around for the source of the sound, countless flying arrows were shot out from the woods on both sides. Suddenly, the Macedonian marching team was in chaos. First of all,

The ones who suffered were the cavalry on horseback. They were hit by arrows and fell from their horses. The horses were also scurrying around in the sudden fright. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
