Chapter 152: The Beginning

?? The situation on the battlefield was very favorable for the Macedonian army, which simultaneously flanked the enemy on both flanks.

However, the fierce British chief attacked first, and he rushed to the side of Anaxosos in a British chariot, escorted by a group of chariots.

However, the shiny spear tips of the rows of Macedonian phalanx were very sharp, and they were not ornaments. The British tanks could not break through at all, and many of them were destroyed. Anelin dodged in time and finally saved his life. However, his army deployment is still very particular.

The elite British warriors and infantry formed a one-sided attack, and the left flank of the Anaxaxos infantry line was flanked by the enemy, and part of the phalanx was routed. Taking advantage of this gap, Anelin led the guards and reserve convoys, as well as the hired light cavalry, to outflank them in a large area and rushed into depth.

The second line had six archers in the squad and was very vulnerable. Many of them were mercilessly slaughtered by chariots and hussars. Anaxosus was once again in a panic before the battle, he was at a loss for what to do, and hesitated whether to send cavalry to meet the chariots, the infantry was entangled by the enemy infantry and it was too late to mobilize.

The British chariot, having inflicted heavy losses on the archers, turned to the Macedonian general. Seeing this, Anaxosus turned his horse and fled, and the cavalry of the guard followed closely to the escort general. By this time, Sigimo's Germanic legions had galloped forward and had completed a combined attack, defeating the British infantry to the ground.

Seeing that Anaxaxos was in danger, he immediately gathered his cavalry and rushed there desperately to help.

After all, the cavalry was still more agile than the chariot, and after a few turns, the Germanic cavalry caught up with the British chariot.

The fearless Germanic knights fought only ferociously, regardless of losses and casualties, and fought wildly against melee vehicles. Some directly cut off the scale, some cut off the neck of the horse pulling the cart, and more accurately, killed the driver in the same movement.

Groups of three or five, a team of ten people besieged the chariot. Leverage teamwork. In the blink of an eye, the Germanic cavalry wiped out most of the chariots.

Sijimo himself was even more heroic, and he pursued the enemy general's car closely. Seeing that one of the horses was stabbed with a shot, the chariot immediately flipped over. Anelin was thrown out and rolled several times. Sigimo stepped forward, dismounted, grabbed the unconscious Anelin by the shoulder, and cut off his head with a sword.

Anaxosus shuddered and stood there. Sigimo came to Anaxathos with a letter of surrender and offered him the head of the enemy general.

The surviving British infantry ran for their lives, and a few chariots fled the battlefield. Sigimo ordered to stop the pursuit, since the British battleships on the shore were still combat-ready. Just let them go back to Britain alive for the time being.

Anaxaxos was awarded the first class of military merit. This was his first victory after the establishment of the new Northern Command. The king trusted him more and granted them more autonomy. Among them: the timely invasion of the island of Great Britain. This meant that he could recruit more soldiers in the name of the Northern Command and strengthen the Legion.

Anaxanos was optimistic about the special geographical location of the island of Great Britain, separated from the land and surrounded by the sea on all sides.

By seizing the island, he could rule independently of the Macedonian kingdom and rule by his own will. Even if you use the island as a base, it is not impossible to go back and fight for European territory.

His ambition is really not small. For this nobleman with Macedonian royal blood, since he could not inherit the throne through formal and legal means, he used special means to seize it.

Now establish a new command of the Northern Front and make meritorious contributions to the enemy's head. Gaining the king's trust and prestige was the starting point of his plan.

The ambitious Anaxonos was no longer satisfied with the framework set up by others, and with the help of many experienced veteran legionaries, he began to reorganize his legion.

First of all, the name of the Tarentum Auxiliary Regiment was changed without authorization, and it was renamed the Northern Legion. He himself did not have the right to change the name of the king's ** regiment, but he quibbled that it was just his own customary alias for the auxiliary legion.

In the second step, he replaced all the original officers in the legion and reused those who had defected to him and were former subordinates of Oonos.

He then began to gradually replenish new blood, most of whom were from Germania, and Sigimo was in charge of selecting and introducing them. The infantry was handed over to veterans such as Boron and Memont to train phalanx combat skills, and the Germanic cavalry was handed over to Sigimo to train and marshall.

Due to the king's restrictions by general decree of the Foreign Legion, the Eleventh Germanic Legion of Sigimo was always kept at three to four thousand men. However, its combat effectiveness was very high, because Sijimo's legion gradually became an all-cavalry battle group, and some Germanic phalanx infantry were used as cannon fodder. The spirit of the whole team is to move forward bravely and not be afraid of death. This is in line with the character characteristics and spiritual outlook of the Germanic brute.

Most of the remaining soldiers were incorporated into the Northern Army, and their combat capability developed in an all-round way. Not only does it retain the Macedonian phalanx characteristics of the previous northern cluster, but it also adds new barbarian forces. These include Belgian warriors recruited from Samaro Briva to form a strong barbarian warrior with iron swords. Forest hunters were recruited from the former Gallic region, now known as the Longbow Brigade.

In this way, the military strength of the northern front was gradually formed, with the Northern Army of the main battle of the elite infantry, and the unstoppable Germanic cavalry regiment. The power in the hands of Anaxonos matured and grew.

In the name of fighting Britain, Anaxonos enjoyed the smooth financial appropriations of the kingdom, and also amassed wealth while looting the people's fat and anointing. His life was as luxurious as it could be, close to the specifications of the Macedonian royal palace.

He had a group of wives and concubines who had an inappropriate private life, and many mistresses. Merry nature is his biggest characteristic, and during his eating, drinking, and merrymaking, he likes to build bridges for his subordinates. Sijimo was even more taken care of by him, and also suffered from related diseases due to erosion in his private life.

Most of Oonos's old subordinates are loyal and upright people, and they can't get used to this way of life, but there is no way. Because the king excluded them, there was no way out except to vote for this swinger brother and become an official and a half-job. Had to find a way to fit in.

Podare Rios' "Eagle Eye" is pervasive and has long since infiltrated Anaxonos. He began to set his sights on this restless and self-reliant relative. However, for a while, there was no obvious and conclusive evidence, and it was impossible to arbitrarily interfere in the affairs of the generals stationed in the border. Charges of embezzlement and extravagance alone were not enough to bring him down.

Anaxonos' troops were silently preparing for the landing in Britain, and they had to wait now. Because without the navy, the land cannot cross the English Channel.
