I have no experience with writing battle scenes, so take this comment as you will.

Spendius was excited. He believed in the task before him, he knew it was for the best. The annihilation of officers loyal to Hamilcar would lead to the rise of a liberated army, and a liberated Libya. Spendius's own motives in all this were personal freedom and peace. Yet he was well aware that many people would benefit from his labors. Finally he espied his intended target not far off: a great, barrel-chested warrior from Sicily. Baalhanno. Spendius watched as the general was loudly ordering his troops to gather. I also notice you use personal names a lot more than descriptives. You might find the text flows better if you change a few of the 'Spendius' and 'Baalhanno's' into 'the general', 'his opponent', 'the Silcilian warrior', etc. The same goes for the following part, you've got three consecutive sentences all starting with 'he': Quote:
