Chapter 12: Iron Wall of Fire (Part 2)
Several more swords stabbed Hebrida's body, but he only shook his body twice and stabbed an enemy down with his backhand. "All rewards belong to me!" This is what he yelled out violently. With the last words, blood flowed onto the sandy ground and was sucked in instantly. √∟,
The remaining enemies were frightened and took several steps back, no longer daring to tangle with this madman. The sons of the Sixth Army and the Twelfth Army rushed over behind Hebrida, "We have won, the enemy is finished!" Their shields collided with those of the Spanish Legion, and they were quickly defeated. The group of Spanish warriors lost the courage to continue fighting when they encountered the Rabinus legion blocking the front. However, after they witnessed such a heroic and terrifying act by the chief centurion of Lepidus' legion, many team icons They were abandoned on the ground, and the personnel, carrying shields on their backs, collapsed and fled behind the walls of their own camp.
Soon, the engineering soldiers of the 15th Army Corps built several simple pontoon bridges. Archers, slingers, cavalry cannons, and bellows cannons continued to pass through the bridge deck supported by skin bags and clay pots, leading to Tumu. The other side of the Er River. At this moment, Labienus's second-line army on the right counterattacked. The stick hurlers on the wall flew like rain of rocks, knocking down many officers and soldiers who rushed in front, and the tools for attacking the fortress were also defeated and damaged. The tide of charge was once again contained - at the same time, another legion from the Rabinus Central Group ran over and carried out a flank attack on Lepidus' men on the inside. The two sides immediately broke into a melee, and the people under the wall The flags of various colors indicate that you are advancing and I am retreating, refusing to give in to each other.
On the far side are Paluma and Dusonville, which are also the closest to Ouaga City. Especially worried. Because of the current situation. It would be difficult for their cavalry to cross the open space on the meander side of the river and attack Rabinus's fortress walls and camps. Otherwise, their elites would be seriously injured - "I took two large groups of cavalry and traveled towards the city of Wagga. Let's go, hoping to lure the besieging legion to fight." After saying this, Dusonville took the specified amount of cavalry and galloped towards the direction of Wagga City.
Sure enough, it was over there soon. Suddenly a large group of enemy infantry and cavalry appeared. It seemed that the siege army over there saw the critical situation on the main battlefield and was at a loss to send reinforcements.
There were about five regiments of this enemy, and it looked like there were about 2,000 people. There were hundreds of Spanish cavalry on both sides to provide cover. After they saw the two cavalry groups of Dusonville approaching, they hurriedly blew the bugle. ——The cavalry stepped forward one after another, while the infantry hurriedly formed their formations, preparing to stand firm and resist desperately.
Determined to leave no room for the enemy, Dusonville took the lead. Holding the flag, he shared life and death with the Vipicinas cavalry who followed behind him. They rushed over in an overwhelming manner without any delay. They first fired a wave of arrows in a short distance, shooting the Spanish cavalry in front of them and knocked them upside down. Then they either stood on horseback or jumped down like the Germans. He usually holds a spear and engages in a melee with the enemy infantry who have not yet had time to set up a fighting position.
Dusonville's horse that broke out was stabbed to death by the enemy's spearman. A Spaniard holding a dagger rushed over from the side and knocked him off his horse. At the critical moment, the Gaulish general's guard risked his life to catch up. Come, chop the Spaniard into pieces. Dussonville struggled to stand up holding the flag, and was hit by two arrows on his breastplate. He was hit by the huge force and almost fell on his back, but he still resisted. He said, "Everyone, don't let half of the enemy escape today. The time has come to witness that we Vipicinas are the best Gallic warriors."
Seeing that the formation was hopeless, the enemies were like a pack of wolves forced into a desperate situation. They used the swords in their hands as their fangs and started a melee.
At this time, the thunderous sound of horse hooves came from the hillside on the side. It was Paluma who brought nearly 4,000 cavalrymen in time to outflank them. However, he saw people on both sides lined up like flying wings. A like-looking Mattian lay prone on a towering saddle, holding a long spear in his arm, and in the center was the "New Cavalry of Cyrene" with their cloaks removed. Their equipment was all borne by their master's treasury. Wearing a Gaulish-style pointed helmet, a drop-shaped shield wrapped around the shoulder straps to protect the heel, he held a sharp javelin about five feet long in one hand and placed it very steadily on his shoulder, making it ready for throwing at any time. Or you can stab it downwards, and the meteor will tear from the side like lightning and step into the enemy's horizontal formation.
Many Spanish soldiers, seeing the tall horses coming like a mountain, rushed in front of them in an instant. They instinctively raised the big leather shields in their hands and crouched under them. Then Paluma's new cavalry actually trampled them directly. The shattered leather shields and the enemy's tumbling corpses steadily broke through several layers of intercepting formations. Then, with the huge charge inertia, they threw out the javelin or spear in their hands, destroying the originally arranged formation. The enemy's light infantry in the center was immediately stabbed over a large area. Blood, flags and weapons were all trampled under the horses' hooves. The dead and wounded were crawling around on the ground, moaning and wailing.
This kind of destructive charge actually killed and wounded most of the enemy soldiers in the five brigades at once. Seeing that the formation was already broken, the rest left their posts one after another. They no longer had the courage to resist such a terrifying cavalry assault, and headed towards Running in the direction of Wagga City.
"General Dusonville, should we pursue in depth!" Paluma pulled the reins and eagerly asked Dusonville, who was holding the flag.
"I will lead two brigades of cavalry to continue the pursuit and strive to join forces with Wagga's garrison to relieve the siege. Little Pigeon, you will lead all the remaining cavalry to plunder the enemy's right flank!"
Next, Dusonville led all the Vibichinas to mount their horses and pursue them, constantly cutting down the escaping defeated soldiers along the way, and taking advantage of the victory, they quickly advanced towards the valley of Wagga City.
When Hittius was on the tower, he saw people coming in and out of the besieging enemy camp, and many wounded people running back in shock. Finally, the enemy began to set fire to the camp. He suddenly felt revived and faced everyone. The party soldiers who were resting against the city wall shouted excitedly, "The enemy can no longer hold on. Rabinus was completely defeated by the high priest. A large number of friendly troops will soon come to rescue us. The Hittius party , we can’t let the high priest and our companions see us struggling and languishing, so cheer up, pick up your weapons, and rush out!”
On the siege position, the Dusonville cavalry attacked in one go from the outside, while the Hittius party roared out from the city gate with swords inside. Soon they gathered together with cheers, took in prisoners and military slaves, burned and plundered the enemy legions. Of the livestock and property in the camp, only about two to three hundred enemy cavalry escaped in the end, and the rest were all killed and captured. The city of Wagga survived the heavy siege and defensive battles. (To be continued...)
