you would have lost had you blocked the bridge. They'd have pushed through with the mass of their force. Your first line would have eventually routed. Unless you'd set up the exact same defence only with a foreguard you'd have lost. Your strategy was the only one that'd achieve victory. Personally I'd have sent my worst and most numerous troops in to tire or break your initial line. Then send the Gaestae in last. Seeing the Gaestae while your men are tired and disillusioned would have made them panic and rout quickly. You'd have been toast my friend!
