Planet Rebirth

About 2000 archers standing in three rows at the forefront of the phalanx heard the order from Anthony, and quickly pulled out their arrows and put them on the bowstring. All arrows that had been greased ignited.The centurion shouted: "Get ready!" The clusters of burning arrows pointed straight at the city wall of Patavien.

"emission!".Immediately, with the sound of the wind, hundreds of rockets pierced the cold air and flew towards the head of Patavien City.In an instant, the city was ignited by fire.The fire quickly spread across the city.Betick directed the city defense team to put out the fire, and at the same time ordered the wounded who had been shot to be taken down from the city.The rockets kept hitting Patavien City like raindrops, and the Macedonian soldiers fell down one by one, twitching their bodies on the ground in pain.The wailing sound violated the will of other soldiers like poison.Strong Betyk ordered the archers to fight back.At the same time, it is still inspiring soldiers and keeping their minds clear.

Anthony prepared enough arrows for this siege.Seeing that the fire at the top of the city is burning.He began to order the infantry to attack the city.Dozens of siege towers pushed by 20 people slowly moved down the city.Behind the siege tower followed the attacking troops based on the centurion.They held their shields high above their heads to ward off the arrows that the Gauls were shooting from the city.Seeing that the siege tower was approaching the city wall, Anthony commanded the bow and arrow troops to move forward to a closer distance from the city head for more accurate shooting.

"Prepare for the battle!" Betik shouted, and the Macedonians gathered at the place where the siege tower was about to reach, holding up their shields to resist the flying arrows below the city, while gaining momentum and preparing for hand-to-hand combat.

With a "boom", ten 10-foot-long logs on the front of the siege tower pressed against the city wall, and then Roman soldiers began to drill into the tower from the back of the siege tower, climbed the stairs one by one, and reached the top of the tower.The archers in the meantime stood at the front of the baffle and continued to shoot at the Macedonian soldiers who were preparing to fight at the top of the city.As the baffle was lowered, it just rested on the top of the city.The Roman soldiers used their shields as cover, and a row of five advanced along the springboard laid by the baffle to the head of the city.The Macedonian archers fired feather arrows at the Roman soldiers, and the Roman soldiers who fell in front were quickly filled by those behind, and they advanced step by step to the top of the city.The Gauls who tried to jump on the gangplank were shot down by the Roman archers on the tower and fell into the city.

After a cry, the first batch of Roman centurions rushed to the top of the city and started a scuffle. These Roman soldiers were all veterans over 30 years old. They had followed Caesar in Gaul for many years.Has conquered many cities.Having experienced hundreds of battles, they didn't care about the Macedonian soldiers who were several times their size. They were close together, supporting each other and making up for each other. The surroundings of their bodies were tightly protected by shields. Unable to shake the advance of the battle-disciplined Roman infantry.

The fighting of the soldiers in front opened up more space for the subsequent centurions at the top of the city. More Roman soldiers rushed to the top of the city. The Roman daggers exerted great power in hand-to-hand combat.Macedonian soldiers were chopped down one by one.There are also many Macedonian women among them. They are as brave and fearless as men.The Germans in the jungle were also afraid of them.But today they are facing the Roman army.Courage seems a little small and powerless in the face of extremely high tactical literacy.Roman soldiers trampled on their bodies and continued to advance.

Seeing that the situation on the top of the city was extremely favorable to him, Anthony ordered the siege chariots to attack the city gate.At the same time, the 1000 cavalry under his command also began to move towards the city gate.Ready to go to town.

Not long.The head of the city had been occupied by the Roman army, and Betic and his remnants retreated into the city.The city gate was knocked open easily.

Caesar ordered the herald to issue an order to the fighting soldiers at the same time when the city gate was knocked open: "Kill all the people in the city, male and female, and you can enjoy the wealth as much as you want."

The fire in the city reflected the whole sky red.The sound of killing.Wails, the clash of weapons echoed in the air.Caesar breathed a sigh of relief, smiled and said to himself silently: "The glory of Alexander is now over."

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

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

Having finished speaking, he ordered the herald to inform Antony that the battle must be concluded quickly, because a new battle was still waiting for the Roman soldiers.

It is about three days' journey between Patavien and Mediolanum, and the Loon Valley is a necessary place on the way.On the night that Caesar took Patavien, he and Antony brought the victorious army to the point of ambush.

For this operation Caesar led 2000 cavalry, [-] infantry and most of the archers.He divided the troops into two parts, and they were stationed in the dense pine forests on the upper slopes on both sides of the valley.Since it is a covert operation, campfires for heating are prohibited.Soldiers survived the cold winter nights on spirits and curled up in sleeping bags.Caesar did not specialize himself because he was a commander.It is an excellent tradition of the Julius family to share thick and thin with the soldiers.In the evening he went around to check the situation of the soldiers.After seeing the eternal smile on Lucius' face and hearing his funny jokes, the soldiers shivering in the cold wind seemed no longer afraid of the severe cold.

Macedonian reinforcements entered the interior of the Loon Valley in the afternoon of the second day.Caesar saw clearly in the dense woods on the high slopes that they numbered about 50000, including hundreds of cavalry.They headed east quickly along the dry riverbed.

Caesar walked quickly to the edge of the pine forest, where a thousand archers were lying in wait.Behind them are 1000 Roman light cavalry ready to go.

"Attention, shoot their cavalry first." Caesar told the centurions of the archer brigade.Opposite was the other half of the soldiers led by Anthony.They have agreed on the method of attack.Just wait for the movement from Lucius.

The Macedonians quickly moved in here, they were dressed in neat armor, and the Macedonian spear phalanx was the nightmare of the Mediterranean countries.The urgency of the rescue made them pay no attention to the fact that 60000 Roman soldiers were ambushing in the dense forest on both sides.

Suddenly, a sharp Roman bugle sounded. When the Macedonians were looking for the source of the sound, countless flying arrows shot out from the woods on both sides, and the Macedonian marching team was in chaos.The first to suffer were the cavalry, who fell off their horses with arrows.The horses, too, galloped about in sudden fright.
