Chapter 366: Reinforcements
"Attack, attack!"
Looking at the infantry rushing up like the sea, the remaining riders also rode their horses back carefully. They looked very embarrassed and exhausted. But when they returned, they were warmly welcomed by their leader Kevin Sean. Although they were embarrassed, they were full of honor. At least the Romans had no way to stop the infantry.
"Take a break, my warriors!" Kevin Sean continued, "We have many people, enough to send these overconfident Romans back into the sea!"
As he said this, Kevin felt as if he had already won. He was so confident that he believed he could win and that his soldiers were capable of restraining the Romans living on the high ground.
He turned around and looked at the remaining soldiers. Their equipment was not as good as the soldiers who were attacking. They could hardly be considered regular soldiers. There were men and women among them, and even some old people and children. They all followed Kevin Sean's call and came with old weapons in their hands. Even sharpened sticks could be used as weapons.
The disadvantage in equipment does not make them afraid of fighting. On the contrary, no matter whether they are old or young, they are very enthusiastic about the battle.
"Oh, great Thane." At this time, only an old and slightly hoarse voice was heard from the team. It was an old man. His rough and old hands were shaking and tightly holding an old spear. The iron spear tip was deformed. It was obvious that this iron spear had been with the old man for too long. Although he was very old, his eyes were still bright. He stood in the middle of the army and tried to straighten his chest to prove that he could still fight and contribute his own strength to the tribe.
Kevin Sean turned around and finally found this inconspicuous old man in the crowd. "Let's go together! Just like your father led us, just like thirty years ago, drive the Romans back. This is our land, and it belongs to us now!"
“Hoo! Hoo! Hoo!”
The soldiers were encouraged by the old man's cry. They roared at Kevin Sean, trying to show their leader all the fighting power they could.
"Okay, let's go!" Looking at the soldiers who were seeking a fight, Kevin Sean wiped away a tear from the corner of his eye and raised high the gorgeously decorated iron sword in his hand. He waved and commanded this army composed of the old, the weak and the sick, trotting all the way towards the high ground in front of them. Their roar was like a roaring tsunami, and it seemed that nothing could stop them from moving forward.
"brush!"
A volley of javelins was thrown, knocking down a large number of the charging Saxon army, but this could not stop the Saxon's attack at all. The two armies collided on the gentle top of this high ground, and the fight began the moment the two sides came into contact. Blood splattered everywhere, body parts were spread on the ground, wailing mixed with roars, swords collided, and blood stained the iron armor.
The shields were vulnerable to the Saxons holding battle axes. The Roman soldiers lined up in a straight line with spears in hand. They used their broken shields to thrust their spears up and down to stab the enemy's exposed necks. They were professionally trained and knew where to stab to make their enemies bleed like a pillar.
For a moment, the gushing blood dyed the soldiers of both sides red. The red color of the blood and the pungent smell of blood in the air made everyone blood-thirsty. They roared and used the weapons in their hands to kill each other.
Luca stood among them, he suddenly planted the Labran flag in the ground, waving the Spada iron sword in his hand. At this time, a Saxon infantryman holding a battle axe saw Luca, who was well-equipped and looked like an officer. Everyone knew what kind of treatment it was to be able to kill a senior officer on the battlefield. It was very likely that he would be promoted to a noble, become an officer in the army that no one dared to question, or even the right-hand man of Sean.
He was afraid that others would also discover this Roman officer who didn't even have a shield. He only had a Labran flag behind him. He didn't look as strong as himself. He mustered up his confidence. Yes, he was a hundred times more confident. He started to move, raising his battle axe high and rushing over.
The temptation of huge benefits blinded his eyes. He only saw the possibility of promotion and did not care whether this Roman officer could become his opponent.
Luca noticed the Saxon soldier rushing towards him, but he was not nervous. He bent down slightly and assumed a posture ready for battle.
"Go to hell!"
The Saxon soldier seemed to know only this one sentence. He jumped up, raised his battle axe high and tried to give Luga a fatal blow from top to bottom.
He simply could not imagine that this Roman officer, whose arms were not as thick as his, had the strength to take his blow. As he fell, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. At this moment, he must be thinking about how to end the battle.
Luka thrust forward, dodging the blow instead of blocking it, and slammed his shoulder into the waist of the guy who jumped up, causing him to lose his balance instantly. He fell on Luka's shoulder with a strange cry and fell heavily to the ground.
Luga didn't give him any chance to recover. He turned his upper body suddenly and stabbed him in the chest with the sword in his backhand.
"What a crazy guy!" Luga drew out his sword, shook his head at the guy who was bleeding and about to die, and couldn't help sighing.
Kevin Sean appeared behind the Saxons, holding high the ornate sword. The Saxon soldiers cheered at the sight of the sword. They were extremely excited and launched a new round of attacks on the Roman army.
"The third array! The third array, forward! Forward!"
Soon, the third array of Roman soldiers joined the battle, and the situation immediately turned into a brutal war of attrition.
"Order the soldiers in the first row." Luca stepped back a little and said to Marenius, "Lead the soldiers in the first row to watch the beach. We can't let the Saxons block our retreat!"

Marenius withdrew from the battle. At this time, the Saxon infantry, under the command of Kevin Sean, attacked the Roman army again and again like waves. The battle lasted for more than two hours. Many soldiers fell down due to exhaustion and weakness, and the soldiers behind them dragged them to the back.
"Warship! Our warship!"
No one knew who shouted first, but everyone turned around and saw several warships appearing on the sea level in the distance. They were riding the wind and waves and coming at a high speed.
"Reinforcements, our reinforcements have arrived!"
The sight of the Roman warships gave everyone new courage. They raised their weapons and cheered, then turned around and swung their weapons at the Saxons and began their fierce attack.
“Damn it, damn it!”
Seeing how tenacious the Romans were, and the Roman warships that were getting closer and closer were advancing against the wind and waves, if he could not defeat Luca's legion before the Roman reinforcements arrived, he would face the result of being surrounded by the Roman army.
