General's voice; something patrician would be nice. Should annunciate clearly. Other soldiers can sound more casual; slurring together sounds a bit may be appropriate.
Some terminology to give you an idea of some of the things being said;
Lachen (lok-en); Army/Soldiers, literally means 'Children' though
Epos (ep-os or ep-us); Cavalry/Horsemen, literally just 'Horse'
Neitom (nee-tam); A form of 'Neitos'; just 'Soldiers', but specifically infantry
Ambu/Ambos (am-boo/am-bos); Related to 'ambush', refers to ranged attackers of various types, and skirmishers (who would be ambushers)
Ameno (am-ee-no; as in 'amino acid'); 'Attack'
Basbh (bazb); 'Kill' or 'Slaughter'; used in many respects, was also a war cry
Keltoi (kelt-oy); Celts, specifically Gauls often (but not always), still in common use in Gaul at the time of EB as a name for the entirety of the race (including Belgae and southern Britons, who were not counted as Gauls); meant to display a sense of unity
Galla (gal-ah); Gauls
Oban (U-ban); Rally/Reform
Kamros (Kim-ros); Friends/Comrades;
