Chapter Seventy-Four: Worms' First Contact War

"Attack! Offensive!!! ”

The chief centurion Guy finally roared hoarsely, and we no longer cared about the formation, and rushed up, and in the face of the Burgundian cavalry with their spears, we clung to it, and slashed our horses with our swords.

I hurried forward, and the Burgundian cavalry directly across from me spotted me.

"Ah!!h

He roared, raised his rifle and pointed it at me, and stabbed it down, and I dodged to one side, and the blood-stained tip of the spear passed through the tip of my nose, and before he could collect it, I pounced on it. He raised his cavalry sword and stabbed the Burgundian in the abdomen with swift precision. He didn't even have time to cover his stomach before I drew my cavalry sword. The moment the blade was drawn, the wound in the Burgundian horseman's abdomen was suddenly exposed, causing the blood to gush out.

The Burgundian cavalry threw away their rifles, clutched their stomachs, and fell off their horses. Without any hesitation, I directly held the sword in my backhand, stabbed it into the man's heart, twisted it out, and the man instantly became the soul of my sword.

I hurriedly wiped the blood stains on my sword, put it in its sheath, and picked up the spear dropped by the infantry of the auxiliary regiment in front of me from the ground, saying that it was a spear, that is, half a meter higher than me, and I didn't care so much, picked up the spear and shouted: "Kill the horse!" ”

As he spoke, he picked up the blood-red spear, but he did not know to whom the blood stained on it belonged to, whether it was a Burgundian or a Roman. Now he didn't care about so much, so he raised his spear and stabbed at the war horse in front of him.

The horses screamed and were knocked down by me, and the cavalry sitting on them was slain with a scream by the swords of the soldiers who rushed up.

The cavalry, with their helmets and leather jackets, faced the silver spears and swords, and the little round shields wrapped in leather could not resist our attack. Soon, the Burgundian cavalry was in disarray, not because the soldiers on their horses were timid, but because the thick smell of blood in the air made the horses frightened in their hearts, and they kept fleeing in all directions. More and more Burgundians and their horses fell in pools of blood at our feet.

"Ha, the Burgundians have fled!"

"Look, they run like!"

The soldiers raised their shields and spears and iron swords, raised their arms and shouted, and pointed at the smoke and dust raised by the escape of the Burgundian cavalry and laughed uncontrollably.

"Whoosh ...... ”

There was a strange sound in the smoke, a sharp sound that seemed to pierce the air.

"Defense! Defense! ”

I shouted, tugging at the still cheering soldiers around me, because I didn't have that much time, I pulled and quickly hid the whole person behind the shield.

"Brush Brush Brush ...... ”

The shrill whistling of bows and arrows flying out of the smoke and dust passed over my head, interrupting everyone's cheers and replacing them with screams and groans that fell to the ground. Many people fell from the arrows, and the soldiers who came up behind remembered to hide behind their shields.

A rain of arrows passed, and the surviving soldiers poked their heads out from behind their shields, and by this time the smoke had dissipated most of it, but what gradually emerged from the smoke was a large black and oppressive Burgundian infantry, who slowly advanced towards us step by step with their shields and spears.

"Legion! Homecoming! ”

Chief Centurion Guy raised the Spada Iron Sword in his hand and swung it in mid-air, commanding loudly, and the soldiers of the four centurions were close together under Guy's order.

"Legion, defend against the tortoiseshell formation!"

The soldiers gathered together, including the soldiers of our two phalanxes, who were soldiers from the original regular legion, so they could also do a good job in setting up the formation.

Soon, a dense formation was formed, and we were close together, our eyes constantly watching the large group of formed Burgundian infantry slowly advancing towards us.

"Damn it, what about our archers!"

Chief Centurion Guy asked loudly, but no one here could give an answer.

The horn of the Burgundians sounded again, and the Burgundians quickened the pace of their attack, and they ran briskly towards us, raising their spears.

"They're coming, sir! Is it offensive or defensive! ”

Everyone was waiting for Guy's order, and as the Burgundians drew nearer, all the soldiers, including me, looked at Guy, who looked down and saw his sweat running down the forehead of his helmet. He was thinking desperately, but the hordes of Burgundian armies pressed in, but the commanders behind him did not sound any horns to give orders. The soldiers had no choice but to obey the highest commander around them, but Chief Centurion Guy was unable to come up with a workable plan.

"Let's fight!"

I couldn't hold back my temperament, and I was anxious to see the chief centurion in a tangle. But as soon as I opened my mouth, Andrew next to me suddenly pressed my shoulder, and I looked at him, and he shook his head at me, probably to tell me not to speak. I kept my mouth shut, and I could only endure and wait for what else this stupid guy could come up with.

The Burgundians were already less than fifty meters away from us, and I could hear their shouts of slaughter as they charged, but Chief Centurion Guy remained motionless.

"Why!"

Guy finally spoke, he looked up, his face covered with sweat, and his trembling lips couldn't stop muttering, "Why didn't you give us instructions yet?" "The co-authors are all standing, and he is still counting on Aetius.

Less than thirty meters away, the Burgundians, in spite of their heavy armor, ran as fast as they could, roaring and shouting to kill, and the sound was deafening, and came in bursts, shaking the eardrums of each of us.

"Sir! We need your commands! ”

Andrew, who was still persuading me to stabilize just now, was also a little unable to stand, he turned his head and shouted loudly at Guy, the chief centurion Guy raised his head, he looked back at the back of the phalanx, turned around, and muttered, "Fight!" Beat! ”

"Attack!"

I don't know where the courage came from, I swung my sword at the oncoming Burgundians, roared, and immediately after that, the trumpeters in the formation immediately blew the horn of attack.

"Kill them!"

The soldiers withdrew their shields, roared, drew their darts and met the Burgundians.

"Brush!"

A rain of shuttle darts flew out of the ranks, but most of them landed on the huge shields of the Burgundians. It's just that the shuttle dart is just a greeting, and the real battle has just begun.

"Knock knock knock...... ”

The troops of both sides collided together, and Andrew, who was tall and large, took the lead, and crashed headlong into the army of the Burgundians, and knocked down two or three at once, so that I did not have so much strength that the Burgundians on the opposite side almost knocked me down.
