Hannibal had three lines of infantry with cavalry on his wings and a line of war elephants in front. Scipio had two lines of cavalry on his right and a line of cavalry on his left with two groups of infantry.
Scipio's cavalry on the right and left defeated Hannibal's cavalry and flanked behind Hannibal. Scipio's infantry seperated into lines to allow the elephantry to pass through so that the infantry could kll them with out being harmed.
Hannibal's first line of infantry moves forward to attack Scipio's infantry while the center line of infantry fell back. The first line of Hannibal's infantry was defeated.
The last line of Hannibal's infantry attacked the last line of Scipio's infantry as the group of Scipio's infantry broke into to lines on either side of Scipio's last line.
Hannibal was defeated as Scipio's cavalry flanked Hannibal's last line while Hannibal was already being attacked by the lines of Scipio's infantry.
