Amintas paused for a moment, and Printols reminded him in time: "Don't forget the Roman soldiers who had just retreated!"

Adjutant Aristonos said with a little disdain: "Do those defeated soldiers still have the courage to fight?"

"Don't underestimate the enemy." That being said, Amintas didn't think that the defeated Roman soldiers could be reorganized so quickly, but he still left a little cautious: "Let the third team come to the center to support!"

After giving the order, he looked back at the Eighth Battalion soldiers who were resting not far behind him.

It would be great if they were also heavy infantrymen! At this time, Amintas actually had such an idea in his heart, which also shows the psychological pressure caused by the Romans' active attack.

"Send someone to urge the Wolseys immediately to speed up their progress!" Amintas no longer had the relaxed mood before.

After Steveros led the company to retreat from the front line, he still maintained his original formation, but most of the soldiers sat on the ground, gasping for breath.

The soldiers had just recovered a little, and the captain Kitsus sent an order: "Brothers of the First Team, immediately turn to the left wing according to the current formation order to face the incoming enemies!"

The soldiers cursed and used their sore legs to support their swollen legs, picked up the already heavy shield, and under the command of the company captain Stiflos and the squad leader, they followed the other company soldiers to rotate the square formations of the entire first brigade to the left, and then strode forward.

As soon as they reached the edge of the left wing, the soldiers saw that the Romans were not far from them.

When these Roman soldiers who were rushing to the sky saw that the enemy reinforcements had arrived in front of them, they did not stop and arranged in a large square array to fight. Instead, they launched a charge towards the array that the first team of the Dionia had just stood.

This offensive method that was often seen in the training of the Dionia Legion actually appeared on the opponent. Steflos felt both absurd and nervous in his heart.

"Shield Array Defense!" He had no choice but to issue this order. The soldiers were exhausted and could not launch a charge to offset the opponent's charge.

While the Dionian soldiers at the forefront hung a long shield with their entire left arm and stole their horses sideways, the team leaders also loudly reminded them: "Switch to the dagger! Change to the dagger!..."

When the soldiers are tired and their muscles are sore, using a piercing gun will not only reduce the accuracy of the piercing, but also when the opponent rushes hard, it will slide backwards, scratching the palm of the palm and affecting the use of weapons. The dagger is more conducive to control, especially when the enemy wants to use its power to get close to crushing, it is more useful. This is an experience summarized in countless battles and was incorporated into the "Military Law" by the Dionia Military Affairs Department, so the team officials can use it in time.

The six Roman squadrons running wildly were all composed of young soldiers, who ran vigorously and roared like thunder.

In fact, most of the soldiers of the First Legion were at the age of twenty-five or six, which was the peak of their physical strength in their lives. However, they set out from Sersh in the morning and have not had much rest until now. They have consumed too much physical strength, so naturally they cannot compare with each other now.

The Roman squadrons successively collided with Dionia's shield formation, like huge rocks bombarding the city wall, causing the shield formation to appear one by one.

The Roman soldiers used their powerful charge kinetic energy to break the opponent's shield and stabbed the enemy with their spears in their hands to stagger backwards.

The soldiers of the Dionian used all their strength to resist the enemy's charge first, and then followed the soldiers behind slowly back to ease the opponent's strong offensive. While protecting the whole body with a long shield, the short sword in his right hand pierced out from the gap from time to time, giving the enemy who dared to approach the fierce attack to kill.

The Romans attacked fiercely, and the soldiers in the front were stabbed down, while the soldiers in the back stepped over the wounded and continued to attack.

The Dionians are also tenacious in defense, constantly stepping forward to fill the opened gap, and trying to keep the front line intact.

The battle has reached a white heat from the beginning.

………………………………

And at this time, Amintas got a bad news from the scout again: "Report to the commander of the legion, more than 2,000 heavy Roman infantrymen are moving quickly towards our right wing!"

Upon hearing this news, Amintas's face looked very ugly: The Romans still have so many troops?! Did they reorganize the previous defeated soldiers so quickly?!

Time no longer allowed him to think about it anymore. He looked back at the light armored soldiers who were still resting and issued an order: "Let the Third Battalion quickly rush to the right wing to organize defense. After receiving the enemy, let the Eighth Battalion quickly go around the rear of the enemy's flank for pincer attacks!"

"Legislature Commander." Printols reminded: "Since the Romans' tactics are similar to ours, I'm afraid they will not be afraid of being attacked on the flanks. On the contrary, when the enemy is in full swing, letting light armored soldiers fight against heavy infantry will probably not be their opponents... Well, we are not going to defeat the enemy now, but to defend and delay time...

Printols' reminder made Amintas ponder for a while: Indeed, since the Romans fought on a squadron of more than one hundred people, when the light armored soldiers moved to the side and rear of their array, their rear squadrons could form a face-to-face battle only by turning flexibly...

Soon, he changed the order: "Let the Third Battalion reduce the array thickness, extend the formation length, and completely block the enemy's attack! Let the Eighth Battalion rush to the rear of the Third Battalion, enhance the thickness of the entire array, and resist the enemy's impact!"

"Yes!" The messenger ran away.

At this time, Amintas was no longer as calm as before, and Printols was the same, and the atmosphere became a little solemn.

Ledes hesitated for a moment and said, "Well, do you want my cavalry to attack the enemy coming to reinforce from the flanks and relieve the pressure on the First Legion?"

Amintas's eyes lit up, and then shook his head: "Ledes, thank you! My First Legion can resist the enemy's attack and let your cavalry rest well. I don't want the cavalry to be unable to pursue because of exhausting horsepower when the enemy retreats."

"Okay." Although Rides looked regretful, Amintas's words actually made him feel relieved.

"Send a messenger to urge the Wolseys again!" Amintas's impatient words then made everyone around him understand that the commander of the legion was not as confident as he said.

……………………………………

In fact, Camillus did not send out all the heavy infantry. He left three newly formed squadrons in the rear to protect the light infantry and cavalry and prevent them from being raided by the opponent's cavalry.

Although the number of light infantry in the Roman allies was greater than that of the Dionian light infantry, they did not dare to attack the Dionian light infantry because they were afraid of the stone-populated soldiers.

In fact, the number of lead balls carried by the Dionia's catapults was not large, but they were posing as an attack at all times, which kept the two sides in a stalemate.

Camillus closely monitored the progress of the war situation ahead.

The new front formed by the elderly and middle-aged soldiers not only blocked the enemy's attack, but also began to force the enemy to retreat, but their advance was very slow and could not satisfy Camillus, because he knew very well that the number of heavy infantry in Dionia was less than theirs, and after a long march, his physical strength was not as good as theirs. He could still maintain a rough stalemate with the second-rank soldier with stronger combat power after defeating his first line. This surprised him.

Therefore, in order to defeat the enemy as soon as possible, Camillus did not retain the reserves on the third line, and almost devoted them to the attack on the enemy's flanks. Now all the measures that can be used have been used, and all the available forces have been suppressed. All he has left is waiting anxiously and praying to the gods.

…………………………………………

The captain Paltrowros, behind the Sixth Battalion array, was also surprised, for the first time he had encountered such a difficult enemy since his service.

These Roman soldiers used constant shield strikes and pokes to consume the physical strength of the Dionian soldiers, but rarely used brute force to rush the shield formation to avoid going too deep into the front line, so they could basically maintain a relatively continuous attack line.

Under such circumstances, it is difficult for the soldiers of the Dionian to exert the power of the dagger, because actively getting close to the enemy will undoubtedly consume more of their tired physical strength.

Therefore, under the steady and continuous attack of the Romans, Dionia's front was forced to retreat slowly.

However, on the flank of the military formation, the attacks of the Roman young soldiers were much more violent, especially the more than 2,000 Roman young soldiers sent to the field in the end. In order to clear away the shame of their previous defeat, they attacked without physical strength. Some of the red-eyed soldiers even fought with their lives, which put the Third Battalion of the First Legion of the Dionia, which resisted their attack, under tremendous pressure.

Comus was one of these 2,000 people. His squadron was previously attacked by the Dionian cavalry and then defeated by the Javelin attack of the Dionian heavy infantry. The soldiers had already felt a sense of anger. After reorganizing the team, they were sent to attack the enemy's flanks and rushed to the front.

Conmuse watched with his own eyes as several soldiers were stabbed in the chest by the enemy with a short sword, but did not fall down immediately. Instead, he used his last strength to hold the opponent's short sword tightly, providing the teammates behind him with the opportunity to kill the opponent.

The brave performance of the soldiers also made Conmus, a veteran of many years, burst into blood. He was tall and saw a general with a white hat tassel behind the enemy array shouting loudly. Without thinking, he threw the spear in his hand out. Then he saw the general falling down, but the enemy array was not in chaos, as if nothing had happened. The Dionians were still tenaciously defending the soldiers' attack.
