Chapter 0697 - Unreasonable Divine Punishment
516, Xia, Wassenice region.
The forest is very large, and it is difficult to pass through it safely, and the detour has to go around the whole mountainous area.
Mei Daiko proposed, "Burn the forest?"
Yamazaki laughed, "Just kidding, the gods will burn you, and you don't let the animals attack them, some of them can be said to be trained, and if there are too many of them, it's not good." ”
Midaiko had a headache, "What should I do then?"
"I have an idea, you can help me figure it out. Yamazaki said, "It's just to let God take care of it, but I don't know if she'll take care of it." ”
Mei Daizi pondered: "It should be, but this becomes unfair, it will probably make us put down the crossbow and fight face to face, and they are light armor in the forest, and they will also let us use light armor." ”
"I think the same way, it's going to be a big toll," Yamazaki said. ”
Midaiko proposed, "Why don't we use smoke bombs?"
Yamazaki shook his head and said, "The area is too big, it's not good." ”
"Then I can't help it. Mei Daizi spread her hands.
Yamazaki thought about it and decided to use a stupid way to let people take the money to collect the door panel as a shield, and the compensation price was a silver coin, even if there was no one at home, put the silver coin down.
The captives were incredulous, but they believed the leaflet "The Clarion of Gelong".
It took a day to come and go, plus the transformation.
The hoplites crouched on their horses and walked outside with shields with door panels, while the others went inside.
One regiment at a time, three thousand heavy soldiers, three thousand crossbowmen, and fifteen thousand horses, it is good to deal with emergencies after the past.
But what I didn't expect was that the troops of the Moorish Roman Kingdom actually chose to attack by fire, and what I didn't expect was that the fire did not burn the Fourth Legion of Geron, but burned a large forest, attracting Artemis, the goddess of hunting.
And she directly killed all the people in the forest, and none of the two sides were alive, but tens of thousands of horses were alive.
Yamazaki was dumbfounded, and then his heart ached, damn God, this is too unreasonable.
But there is no way, I can only admit it.
It's just that when the remains were collected, it was found that the troops of the Moorish Roman Kingdom were slave troops, no, it should be said that they were not even soldiers, they were slaves, coolie slaves.
This was clearly premeditated, borrowing the wrath of God to exchange the lives of slaves for the lives of warriors.
On the night of passing through the forest, Yamazaki complained to the God of War banner and the forest, telling them the truth of the matter.
However, the god of war just said that he knew, and the goddess of the hunt did not respond at all.
Yamazaki laughed angrily, these sub-gods are really not good enough to do business.
Mei Daizi comforted in the spirit world: "Don't be angry, brother, if you have the opportunity to clean them up again, in other words, it's the first time I've seen you so atmospheric." ”
Yamazaki said bitterly, "That's 6,000 lives." ”
Mei Daiko said, "It's okay, their souls are still there." ”
"I know, otherwise I'd be even more guilty. Yamazaki sighed, "Forget it, let's not talk about it, it's true to settle this battle as soon as possible." ”......
Losing a whole corps and insufficient troops, Yamazaki did not intend to attack again.
Still, there are some things that still need to be done.
The first is to pass through this large forest so that this does not happen again next time.
After crossing the forest, the captives dug in the open area and built simple fortresses with walls.
From then on, this was the border line between the kingdom of Gelong and Moorish Rome.
Yamazaki continued with a part of his troops, and a day later he landed at the city of Vassenice.
The city of Vassenice had two harbor acropolises and an unknown number of fleets, and it was necessary to take into account attacks from the sea if it wanted to attack the city.
Yamazaki asked the more than 10,000 horses carrying the remains of warriors and slaves to come to the front of the battle.
Let people speak out in groups, speak out loud, and promote the despicable and shameless deeds of the Moorish Roman kingdom.
Even if it doesn't work, it still spreads the word that Artemis, the goddess of the hunt, is unreasonable and stupid enough to be used by humans.
Of course, this is not said, it is for people to guess.
I believe that those gods in the realm who have nothing to do, as long as they know something, will treat it as a tea talk, and then they will shift the topic to Artemis, the goddess of the hunt, sarcastically mocking her.
Artemis, the goddess of the hunt, is estimated to sneeze every day because she is being talked about behind her back.
Yamazaki was maliciously guessing here, and some people in the city were thinking about the same thing.
Even, they were worried about what would happen if Artemis, the goddess of the hunt, came to trouble the kingdom one day because of this matter?
With the unreasonable temper of Artemis, the goddess of hunting, will it destroy all the high-ranking of the kingdom?
This, the total number of officials in the entire kingdom seems to be less than 12,000. ......
When the propaganda was over, Yamazaki asked people to throw down the boundary division map, and then led the troops and retreated with the remains.
As for whether Moore Rome recognizes it or not, it doesn't matter, Yamazaki doesn't want land, it's food.
Back at the forest fortress, which had begun to take shape, Yamazaki led the group to bury the bodies in a pit at the edge of the forest.
Yamazaki recorded the appearance of these 12,000 people in the sacred area, and Yamazaki also recorded the names of his own warriors, and later built a stone temple of Hades here, carved their appearance and names on the stone wall, and nailed the deeds of Artemis, the goddess of hunting.
Engraved somewhere else, Artemis, the goddess of the hunt, can destroy it and engrave it in the temple of Hades, the goddess of hunting, Artemis will not be stupid enough to do anything with Hades, right?
If yes, that's great. ......
Yamazaki spent the day planning the fortress for issues such as drinking water, sewerage, and so on.
As for the grain, the Gelong army has already occupied most of the Wassenes area, although the people have fled, their fields are still there, but now there is no one to take care of it, it will affect the harvest, but it is enough.
The Second Legion was left behind to defend the town, and Yamazaki left a bag of gems to ransom the captives' families and fill the manpower for the farm work.
The strength of the Moorish Roman kingdom had bottomed out, and the Second Legion was enough to defeat them in a field battle.
In order to prevent the Moorish Roman Kingdom from attacking the farmland in the rear, Yamazaki also left two vultures to patrol around the fortress. ......
Rush back to the city of Hadra, which has just experienced a field battle.
Due to the heavy rain, the army in Hadra thought that it would affect the use of crossbows, so they took advantage of the rain to attack.
However, the alloy crossbow was not disturbed and gave them an unexpected gift, and the road was not easy to walk on rainy days, and they couldn't escape from it, and many people surrendered under the leadership of the slave army.
It's just that even if the defenders of Hadera City lose most of them, they still have to pay a great price if they want to attack it.
Mei Daizi came up with an idea, not to attack the city, but to attack the mountain.
Set up a trebuchet and hit a small gap in the mountain with one blow.
The townspeople laughed at the trebuchet's accuracy, but soon they couldn't laugh anymore.
The rocks hit the mountain body continuously, and the gap slowly expanded, and it was obvious that as long as the gap was large enough to a certain extent, it would not be able to support the mountain above, and the whole mountain would tilt and collapse, and then the city of Hadra on the mountain would have only one result, and all of them would be buried.
As a result, the city of Hadra surrendered, and the prisoners of the warriors who lived elsewhere were arranged to go to Wassenes, leaving the civilians alone and allowing them to govern themselves according to the new law.
The insufficient grain in the Hadra area was later provided by the Gelong Chamber of Commerce, which was borrowed by the Hadra Finance Office, and then lent by the Hadra Finance Office to the civilians in need.
The civilians are only responsible for the Hadra Treasury, and the debt between the Hadera Finance and the Gelong Chamber of Commerce is also a matter between the two of them, and has nothing to do with the civilians. ......
