The brutal melee at the center raged on for hours with both sides cracking from the bloody engagement.
And as time passed these cracks spread and bloomed, with both sides taking huge casualties, until finally one side could not take it anyway.
The cracks on Menes's side had become too large to ignore.
So he at last sent word to Melodias, asking him to charge up the right side of the hill and swing around to flank Perseus, thus relieving the pressure off him.
"The enemy is weakened. Use your legionaries to hit them on the side and destroy these bulky formations." The instructions read.
And as Menes was giving this order, at the same time, sensing the same weakness in the Zanzan lines, Perseus sent word to Petricuno, informing him that the enemy was truly and well pinned down with little strength to struggle or run.
