* * Julius POV * *
- - Going back to the emergence of the Ambushing Legions - -
The battle was hard fought, thousands of men continued to push against one another trying to breech the heavy shield walls, or even just hit the men behind it with their long spears.
The Greecians were dying by the hundreds every few minutes thanks to the tactics being used by Julius and the Spartan high command, however as the battle wore on the fact that the Greecians had far larger numbers meant even if their forces fell in battle fresher troops could just step over the bodies of their brothers and take their place, exhaustion was clearing beginning to set in on the Spartans and the casualties began to mount as trying to endlessly hold up the heavy iron shields and spears took a serious toll on your arms, all the while your squatting down in a braced position to push or be pushed without falling over.
