Mid-December 516.

The three legions of the Leugron family were held in the area of Puerto Leptis, and Yamazaki led three legions of crossbow cavalry to Cyrene.

The Gelon army caught up with the retreating tribe and, on their alert, crossed their ranks.

At the same time, the redemption trade between the Kingdom of Gelong and the Kingdom of Visigothic and Eastern Kingdom began.

Swap them with a set of alloy crossbows and crossbows, and the Visigothic kingdoms and the Eastern kingdoms will equip their troops immediately after getting the alloy crossbows. ......

Cyrene region.

After arriving here, I realized that the Cyrene region had long been the territory of Eastern Rome, or had long been subject to Eastern Rome.

The previous battle had already spread, and the Eastern Romans had sent a regular legion, a mobile city defense crossbow legion, and three slave archers, and the tribes here also sent four nomadic archers, and ten non-warrior slave infantry legions.

They set up a defensive position at the junction and faced the Gelon army.

On the front is a sea of non-warrior slave legions, in the middle is a regular mobile city defense crossbow legion, three slave archer legions are on the left and right rear arches, and on the two flanks are four nomadic archer legions.

Yamazaki had a letter being handed over asking for a trade in grain, a billion Roman pounds, ten thousand Roman pounds of grain and two gold coins, and a million pounds of grain and two pounds of gold at a price higher than the market price, for a total of two thousand pounds of gold.

Three million Roman pounds is more than a thousand tons, and one billion Roman pounds are about half a million tons.

The commander of the other side was taken aback by the quantity, which had risen to the level of strategic materials, and asked the Gelong army to stand back and wait, he had to report.

Then wait, after the two sides are at the junction, they will set up their own camps and confront each other.

However, for the sake of safety, Yamazaki mobilized the legions of the Gronn family and asked the legions of the port city of Leptis to deliver food.

A day later, the tribes of the port of Leptis arrived, and they camped behind the Gronns, but the warriors and slaves were in front, not knowing whether they were on guard or uneasy. ......

A few days later, Constantinople.

Flavius Anastasias Augustus, the king of Eastern Rome, saw the report on the grain trade.

The convener convened a meeting, and first introduced the situation of the Kingdom of Geron, which was located on the southern shore of the Mediterranean Sea in Western Rome, with a population of less than 4 million, and the policy was the "Gelong Declaration".

The battle was dominated by crossbow cavalry, the details are unknown, but after defeating the Vandal Kingdom and the Moorish Roman Kingdom, the combat power should be very strong.

In addition, there are rumors that the god of war himself has descended, and the truth is unknown.

As a result of the discussion, the deal was rejected, and if the other side was short of food, it was the time to recover the southern shore of the Mediterranean, which was originally the territory of Rome.

The "Gelong Statement" is even more of a scourge, if one day Gelong calls, as long as he ascends to the heights, the vast number of slaves and commoners will respond.

Slaves became commoners, and commoners were exempt from taxes, which could shake the foundations of Eastern Rome.

As for learning from Gelong, no one mentions this kind of thing, slaves are private property, and no commoners pay taxes, so naturally the taxes have to be paid by the rich.

As the gainers, they will not have nothing to do, and such a kingdom must be eradicated. ......

December 24, at the junction of the area of Port Lyptis and the region of Cyrene.

Yamazaki saw through the animals that the forces of the area of Egoptos next door were gathering, six regular armies, twelve slave cavalry.

It seems that the Eastern Romans chose to fight, probably because they were short of food.

But even if there is a shortage of food, it will be next spring, not now.

Mei Daizi asked, "Brother, do you want to attack first?"

Yamazaki shook his head, "No, let's solve the latter first." ”

Yamazaki had people send a message to the tribes behind, either bypass or surrender.

The other party replied that he would go, but it would take time to pack his bags.

That night, Yamazaki found that the troops in the front and rear were massing, and immediately asked the Gelong army to retreat, and if it turned into a melee battle, it would be drowned by the sea of people.

Camels can't be wanted, and they can't keep up with their slow speed, but it's just right to let them out and disrupt the battlefield.

Bring weapons and a day's worth of food and water, and one day's time is enough to hunt them down.

By the time the Eastern Romans and tribal armies had sneaked into the camps, the Gelon army had already retreated, leaving behind only more than 30,000 frightened camels.

The other party regrouped and sent three nomadic archers, each on horseback, and chased after them along the trail.

The three cavalry regiments were spread out, with a row of 500 cavalry, and there were thirty-six rows, covering an area of hectares, which was too large and inconvenient.

Yamazaki sent two regiments of ballistae straight to rest in an oasis in the distance, while he led a regiment of ballistae, in a line of 1,000 horsemen, to fight the pursuers.

The location of the opponent's six legions, Yamazaki knew very well, and after the rush and hung them to shoot a few rounds of crossbow arrows, they did not find the specific location of Yamazaki.

In the end, he left a body in the field and turned back.

Just kidding, how can this make them run.

Yamazaki asked people to inform the resting troops, and at the same time led the team to chase back, specifically looking for densely populated places, defeating them, and collecting the opponent's horses along the way.

The tribesmen of the Puerto Leptis area retreated to camp, but Yamazaki ignored them, instead driving the rout of Eastern Rome to ram their camp.

Because of the lack of horsepower, Yamazaki did not approach, and the large army stopped two kilometers away, only to let some people change into the opponent's war horses that they had just picked up to drive away, and make a show.

The camp of the Eastern Romans did not collapse, they used people as a wall, let the rout go to the back to assemble, and collect the rout in an orderly manner.

When the sky was white, two regiments of crossbowmen arrived, one in the tribal camp in the area of Port Leptis, and one in the Eastern Roman camp.

Surrender, there is no other choice.

The tribes in the area of Port Lyptis surrendered, with hatred.

In this regard, Yamazaki could only shake his head and smile bitterly.

Where there is war, there is killing, where there is killing, there is hatred, what can be done is to slowly dissolve, ten or twenty years, or even hundreds of years, or maybe it will continue to a long time later.

The Eastern Roman army did not surrender, but instead relied on mobile city defense ballistas to establish defensive positions.

Yamazaki didn't move, just stared, waiting for reinforcements.

The 1st and 2nd Heavy Regiments of the Gronn Family, the 4th and 5th Crossbow Cavalry Corps, two of which received the alloy crossbow troops, and an engineer regiment with twelve catapults, arrived in the afternoon.

At the same time, the Eastern Roman reinforcements were in the front, two archers' legions arrived.

Yamazaki had the 1st and 2nd Heavy Legions of the Gelong family escort the tribes back to the Port Leptis area, and at the cost of one gold per household, all the slaves, all the weapons, and all the horses, which was the price of defeat, and because they were military supplies.

The tribes in the Port Leptis area, they are actually inseparable from slaves, and without slaves, many of them don't know how to live, and they are used to being served.

Yamazaki writes to Hybea Lyddice and makes a plan to help the tribesmen live.

Find someone to understand the status of aquatic weeds, stipulate the pasture area, grazing can not be indiscriminate, only in the specified area.

The pasture area is not sold but rented, and is temporarily provided free of charge, and the farmland manor is also rented, but not free, and the specific calculation is based on the field property.

The herders' livestock, which is their wealth, is bought at market price when traded, respecting their private property.

The herdsmen used this money, according to the standard of employment, to hire slaves who became commoners to herd herds.

Herders can also use the money to rent farmland estates and hire people to plant them.

In this way, the commoners can have wealth, which can be accumulated slowly in the future, and the family business can be settled.

Although the slaves who had been converted into commoners were not able to hold elections because of their education, they were at least able to have private property.

Because of the more livestock and more milk and meat, Yamazaki remade a three-meal standard.

The basic standard meal is at most once a day, a bowl of barley rice in a standard large bowl and a standard small plate of pickles.

The low-level standard meal is to add vegetables to the basic standard meal, at least once a day, a bowl of vegetables in a standard medium bowl, the variety of vegetables is best different every day, it is best to have a variety of vegetables at a time, it is best to add a standard cup of milk, or a standard small plate of cheese.

The intermediate standard meal is the addition of meat to the lower standard meal, at least once every three days, preferably every three times, preferably with fish, a bowl of meat in a standard small bowl.

The Premium Standard Meal is a meal in which wine and fruit are added to the Intermediate Standard Meal, preferably once every six days, in a quantity that is at your discretion. ......
