Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Before the Macedonians could organize a defensive formation, Caesar gave an order, and 2,000 cavalry immediately swept through the Gauls' ranks like a rushing flood.  Caesar yelled and was the first to rush into the crowd. His horses trampled them everywhere, and everywhere they went there was the sound of bones breaking and flesh tearing.  Caesar brandished his dagger and cut down all the Macedonian soldiers who stood in his way.  Blood splattered everywhere and wailings were heard.  At this time, he felt as if he was possessed by a god, his eyes wide open angrily, and the expression on his face was frozen together.  His desire to win made him explode at this moment.  One after another the Macedonians were cut down in front of him with his dagger.  The Roman general before them was their god of death, their nightmare.  No one can stop his progress.  But after all, the Macedonians are a nation that has experienced hundreds of battles. After the initial panic, they began an organized defense.  The impact of the Roman cavalry was neutralized by the compact defensive formation of the large group.  Many experienced cavalrymen knew at this time that charging forward would lead to death.  So they turned their horses one after another, avoiding the main body of the enemy's defensive formation, and went to hunt down the stragglers in all directions.  They were not worried about the enemy behind them because Roman infantry had already joined the battlefield.  The brave Caesar made a terrible mistake.  He was surrounded by enemies.  The war horse had been hacked to death by the Macedonians, causing him to fall to the ground and have to fight on foot.  Every eye is filled with grass-green figures and annoying strange sounds.  Caesar fought hard, and the red around him gradually became scarce.  A thought suddenly passed through his mind: "Am I going to die heroically in this battle? No! Never! I don't want to die. I want to go back alive and go back with honor." He still fought hard.  , cutting down any Macedonian who tried to get close to him.  And use this to open a way for himself to kill.  Suddenly, Caesar's back was pressed against by an equally solid back. He instinctively looked back and saw that it was Yang Rui.  He was not wearing armor and his body was stained red with blood.  Yang Rui held a dagger in his hand and looked calmly.  He said: "Follow me, our military formation is over there!" Caesar is a veteran, but at this time he also exclaimed at Yang Rui's combat power. It was a god-like power that no one could stop at all.  As Yang Rui advanced, he carved a bloody path, allowing Caesar to escape safely.  Caesar smiled and said: "My friend, it seems that you are really the messenger sent to me by God." Yang Rui smiled slightly and said: "Your gods are nothing in front of me." Anthony clearly saw the besieged Caesar  , he immediately ordered the cavalry to charge a second time to rescue Caesar.  While the Macedonians were concentrating on the Roman general and the pitifully few horseless cavalry beside him.  The Roman cavalry suddenly gathered together and came back from behind.  The Roman infantry had surrounded the remaining Macedonians, and the encirclement was shrinking step by step. The Macedonians tried to break out several times, but were blocked by the sky full of javelins and iron-clad shields.  When the sun went down, all the Macedonian reinforcements had been wiped out.  Bodies littered the valley.  Some Roman soldiers were still wandering over these corpses, giving the Macedonians who had not yet died another blow with their swords to end their suffering.  The horn of assembly in the distance has sounded, and Roman soldiers gathered from all corners of the battlefield like the eagle banner of Caesar's guard.  A streak of blood-red sunset hung feebly on the horizon.  Yang Rui stared at the piles of Gauls' corpses.  Suddenly, I felt an unprecedented pleasure in my heart, the energy field emanating from the corpse.  It is also flowing into my body in a steady stream.  At this time, Caesar came to Yang Rui and said: "The Macedonians' trouble has been solved." Yang Rui nodded and said: "Pompei's Southern Army is still gathering at this time. Before they are ready, it is best to give them  They gave a fatal blow. "Caesar said: "But if you want to attack Pompeii's Southern Army, you must pass through Rome. I can't let a hundred thousand troops pass under the nose of Rome." Yang Rui said: "You can.  Crossing the Adriatic Sea." Caesar laughed and said, "Where do you want me to find so many ships? The Senate controls the navy of the entire Roman Republic." Yang Rui said, "I have already prepared it for you.  "Caesar was surprised and asked, "Are you ready?" Yang Rui nodded and said, "The Queen of Egypt has sailed her fleet into the Adriatic Sea. You can take the Egyptian fleet's ship to cross the sea." Five days later.  At noon, a huge Egyptian naval fleet appeared on the southern sea of ??the Italian Peninsula.  This fleet consists of about 200 three-row battleships equipped with huge bronze rams and hundreds of cargo ships.  There is an eye-catching dark blue inverted crescent moon logo on the sail of each ship, which is illuminated by the midday sun.It was extremely dazzling.  Caesar stood on the bow of the flagship.  His eyes looked at the beautiful Italy, with a peaceful expression on his face.  The fleet soon sailed into a nearby long and narrow bay without reefs.  All the cargo ships were docked in the shallow water, and the sailors quickly climbed onto the gangplank.  Then groups of Roma drove onto the beach one after another.  Suddenly the calm beach was filled with people.  All kinds of military supplies piled up like mountains.  Hamilcar and his 6,000 Holy Legion cavalry also landed on Sicily after the infantry came ashore.  Once ashore he immediately gathered his troops.  Patrol teams were sent out to guard everywhere. This was not a peaceful coast after all.  Let them run wild.  Caesar and the last of his guards walked onto the beach.  At this time, the troops that had previously landed had already begun to move westward, marching towards Messina according to the original plan.  Antony and his 2,000 cavalry walked on both sides of the infantry.  He was also fascinated by the beauty of the South.  But he was a professional soldier after all. After a brief period of wandering thoughts, he focused his attention on the troops again.  The long sea voyage made the soldiers tired and complained one after another.  Anthony rode his horse up and down the troops.  Warn those veterans to keep their mouths shut and go on their way, otherwise they will be whipped.  Caesar looked at Antony's busy figure and felt infinite pride in his heart.  The excellent qualities and traditions of the Julius family are fully demonstrated in this young descendant who is only 23 years old.  The rough seas did not dampen Anthony's energy at all.  The marching troops kicked up clouds of dust that covered the sky.  Meandering like a giant python.  Wherever the army passed, the grass was flattened, exposing the loess underneath. Horse manure piled up in mountains, and the smell was choking.  The sound of neat footsteps shook the heaven and earth.  It's clearly visible from miles away.  Caesar stopped the busy Antony and said: "Taranto is right in front of us. I hope we can get this city tomorrow." "Caesar, I mean to start attacking the Southern Army tonight. They will never  Thinking that we will appear in front of them so soon. My cavalry troops can rush to the gate of Taranto at night and make a surprise attack on them. This will be easier than fighting on the battlefield and the losses will be minimized.  ." Anthony said with confidence.  "Okay, I hope our cavalry won't complain because of your harshness." Caesar smiled and said, "They are all veterans who have been following you for many years. They know what is most important and what is the purpose of our trip.  , They know very well that complaining is a good way for them to rest, but they will not refuse to carry out the order. "Anthony said, "Okay, leave 1,000 cavalry to cover the flanks of the infantry, and the remaining 1,000 people.  Take them all away. We'll meet at the gate of Taranto," Caesar said.  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!
