Phyrros Island Battle

The second round of the battle on the sea raged on with arguably even greater intensity, there being even more ships churning the unruly waters, making the place a bloody and chaotic hot stop, one filled with sharp arrow fire, bloody sword swings, ravenous spear thrusts, bloodthirsty axe swings, and pained moans.

And in the midst of that chaotic maelstrom, the reinforcing legionaries assaulting the Heeat family ships found that things were not going to be as smooth as one thought they might be, even when many of the enemy troops were tired from prior fighting.

No, for despite having much more stamina and possessing support from powerful archers, there were many times the legionaries had difficulty budging the opposing lines, as the elite Heeat family men simply chose to bear through many of the attacks even at the risk of death. 

Some would die and have their bodies used as a human shield rather than retreat.
