Chapter 21 The Death of a King (Part 2)
The screams of men and horses came one after another. The soldiers of the Lius Legion holding spears kept shouting rhythmically, stabbing the enemy's mount to death. Then the light soldiers of the battle formation continued to protrude, using narrow swords, and then attempted to infiltrate the enemy. The enemy warriors in the battle formation were forced back. The Sinclair barbarian warriors are tall and powerful. They use extremely terrifying postures to raise the swords or axes in their hands, and then chop them down hard. But often at this moment, the sharp swords and thorns of the Lius Legion The spears pierced their exposed abdomens and armpits in twos and threes, but all the barbarian warriors were still marching forward. They were not afraid of death at all. As long as they could complete their bloody revenge in their own way, even if they fell, No regrets either.
Soon, the front line could no longer maintain the spear formation, and then all the soldiers shouted in unison at the centurion's whistle. Every three spearmen, plus a light soldier, formed a "t" In the shape of characters, they stood back to each other, holding the spears and swords in their hands, and continued to fight with the enemies running in all directions.
A soldier of the Lius Legion ran out with a shout, and struck the greaves of the gorgeous King Sinclair. Mukuas felt a sudden pain in his calf, and instinctively half-knelt on the ground. The soldier immediately put his hand in his hand. The stabbing spear fell out of his hand, and then he pulled out the sword from the sheath, stepped forward quickly, and stabbed Mukuas straight down. The feathers of the king's helmet flashed, and the tip of the sword brushed against the ear of his helmet. Then, he used his left hand to pull out a sharp ax from his belt and slashed it on the soldier's exposed throat - Mukuas discovered that Lepidah's recruit's breastplate was made of exquisite material and structure, and he slashed it from the front. It was difficult to get an advantage - the soldier didn't even moan and was bleeding profusely. He fell next to Mukuas. "Lepidus. You bastard!" Mukuas, whose face was covered with blood, grabbed the spear that stabbed his calf, and shouted at Lepidus, who was tens of Roman feet away, pulling the reins and walking back, and then stood alone Kneeling on the ground, swinging his arms, he threw the stabbing spear as if it was flying.
The high priest lowered his body in some embarrassment and let the stabbing spear pass over his head. Then he drew his sword angrily and said, "Soldiers at the rear, organize a counterattack and kill that barbarian king!"
"For the glory of the high priest!" All the new army soldiers around him rushed over, throwing arrows and slingshots at them. Many of the soldiers around Mukuas were immediately knocked over, and he himself He was also hit in the face by a flying stone, his teeth were shattered, and his eyes were knocked out of their sockets. He howled and fell to his knees, arching his back in pain. He covered his face, and then another powerful crossbow arrow flew over and pierced into his breastplate. The powerful kinetic energy pushed him backwards and sat in the back.
"Go forward, go forward, pierce everything!" At this moment, the front line of the Lius Legion, which had retreated to the back, reorganized the queue into a horizontal formation, held rows of spears, and counterattacked again. At this moment, sitting down Almost all of the soldiers around Mukuas who were standing were killed in the battle. They either rushed forward bravely and were buried under the jungle of spears, or were knocked to the ground by arrows and stones, and were killed by the enemy's light soldiers with swords.
"Asshole, let this battle be the last word for the Sinclair people. Sooner or later, the tribe of warriors will be buried on the battlefield." Mukuas shouted angrily, and actually tore off the protruding and drooping eyeballs. He threw down his helmet, held up the long sword in his hand with disheveled hair, and continued to charge forward.
Seventeen stabbing spears pierced King Sinclair's body from different parts. He finally dropped the sword in his hand and fell in front of the soldiers of the Lius Legion. Then several soldiers rushed up with shouts and raised their hands. He started to stab the spear in his hand and stabbed it rapidly until Mukuas could no longer move.
Almost all of the more than 800 Sinclair warriors died on the battlefield, and the rest of the Spanish barbarian soldiers also fled after hearing the news. Both the left and right flanks of Lepidus' army launched an outflank counterattack, while Dusonville's reserve cavalry launched a pursuit, killing almost everyone. After all, they rushed straight to the city of Windibo. The Presbyterians in the city were shocked and incomprehensible. They only knew that the powerful army of Pompey's party passing through the city during the day had been completely destroyed in the evening, so the Presbyterians briefly After the assembly, it was decided to surrender the city and welcome the high priest of the Republic.
After Lepidus led his guards quickly into the city hall of Windibo City, he ordered the chiefs of the two surrounding small tribes to come to see him immediately, and asked Windibo to provide a large amount of wood, nails and corresponding men. "Also, hire me six hundred to one thousand pack horses as soon as possible."
As the high priest issued this series of orders, his strategic vision seemed to become more and more clear, which was to continue to move eastward and try to open up the passage between him and the seven legions of Petheneus - relying on Xin Once they control several hills of the Kilis River, they can join forces with Petheneus and form an encirclement situation against the legions of the Little Thunder God.
Anyway, Sextus' inside spy placed in Windibo delivered this kind of information to the little Thor in the middle of the night.
"Damn it, Mukuas is finished too, it's only been half a day. The implication is that Marcius is finished too. He may have either died in battle or been captured." Saike received one after another bad news. Tusi could only pinch the bridge of his nose with his fingers and groaned out this thought, "I have two legions on the Ursau Fortress defense line now. Should I take out one legion and go to Windibo and Sinki?" The area between Leis, but intercepted and destroyed him - he came from a long distance, the number of people and the provisions of the army will not be particularly sufficient. "
After making up his mind, Sextus stood up. If it was before, he could have entrusted the river defense line to Labinus or Laelius, but what about now? He felt lonely.
At sunrise, Sextus led a large group of soldiers and quietly set out from the back door of the camp along the river. He entrusted the camp to a chief centurion and led the legion to the hills east of Vendipó, where he and Marcius had already prepared, built some core fortresses, and placed an auxiliary group of Spanish soldiers to guard and monitor.
At the same time, Lepidus also calmly mounted his horse in front of the gate of Vendipole. He also felt lonely, but it was because he no longer had any rivals in this world. Yesterday, Adiana's letter was also sent from Nicomedia, claiming that she had mobilized the infantry and fleet of Pontus and Euberthia, successfully defended the city of Tacton again, thwarted Eulabella's offensive, and was preparing to force him into the sea. "And what are you doing? How far has the war in Spain progressed? I am eager to reunite with you, but all kinds of despicable enemies are constantly hindering all this. This time, let Carabis and Carabia take up the thunder sword that severely inflicts punishment on the villains, and return stability and warmth to this world and the ocean." (To be continued...)
