Chapter 147: Into Spain

At the beginning, the old king Garas was exhausted and handed over the guards to Oonos. The northern cluster is simply like a tiger.

Now, Aloyos has brought the two "lions" (the Seventh Legion and the Invincible Legion) back to his command, which is equivalent to eliminating the danger of his henchmen. His own strength has never been greater. Because he commanded all the elite armies of Macedonia, the fluttering king was very happy. After all, heroes are human beings! What a joy.

He marched in a horse-drawn carriage instead. Because in this way, he can hug two beauties left and right, one is romantic and charming from France, 19 years old; The other is from Britannia, 16 years old.

Anaxosus sent them out of the camp, and when he saw the king's lustful look, his expression slightly mocking, he thought:

"This prince is romantic enough, he drives several daughters in one day, and his mistresses are all over the streets. I didn't expect this old guy to be even more shameless.

If it weren't for the throne, how could he be willing to send such two stunners into the arms of others. It's reluctant to think about it, hum! ”

But the one in the car was even more cunning, and he deliberately showed it to this restless cousin. He also hopes that through this performance, his younger brother will let down his guard and let go of his burden. Everyone enjoys prosperity and wealth together, life is full, and happiness is important.

Anaxaxos, however, did not necessarily appreciate the king's good intentions. He also left the Alesian barracks with his army and marched to Normandy, where he was stationed. The reason why Aloyos chose the two of them to support the northern line is a slightly ambivalent psychology.

On the one hand, he thanked his second uncle Oonos for his contribution to the kingdom, and wanted to leave some money for his son Anaxaxos. On the other hand, it rejects the power of the Oonos group, and the separate arrangement of Sigimo's Germanic legion is an important evidence, and the general decree of foreign soldiers limits the size of its legion. In addition, Anaxaxosos received the Tarentum Auxiliary Legion brought by the king. But many of the generals and officers who had previously followed Oonos defected to Anaxaxos, and Aloyos turned a blind eye and did not ask any more questions. Because the old forces of Oonos stripped away from the legions, his army became purer and more cohesive.

Thus a new army group of the Northern Front was formed, consisting of only two second-line corps. Of course, Aloyos assessed that these forces were sufficient to defend against the invasion of the British barbarians. Even equipping them with siege engines would be enough to conquer the island of Great Britain.

In fact, if you think about it carefully, the implementation of the military merit point retirement system for the veterans of the Seventh Army has invisibly caused a loss of manpower to the forces of Anaxaxos, and many loyal officers and soldiers have gone home. On the surface, Aloyos gave Anaxaxosos enough face and let him continue to retain command of the northern front, but in essence, he weakened it to the maximum. Especially to drain the core combat power of the northern front.

The army of Aloyos marched steadily, and there is no need to say more about the magnificence and majesty of the army. They are:

the King's Praetorian Guard, the 2nd Roman Legion of the 24th Expeditionary Force, commanded by the King himself;

The 3rd Roman Legion of Campania, second only to the king's own soldiers in combat effectiveness, was skilled in landing assault warfare and was commanded by his cousin Ducarus.

The new 7th Army, the number one force on the Northern Front, was led by his henchman General Thessaros Scottusa (the king's fetish for broken sleeves).

The Invincible Legion, also known as the Ghost Legion. Founded by the Macedonian hero Abrias himself, when the local regime was in danger, he defeated the enemy before the country, and made great contributions with one enemy and ten. It was named the Invincible Legion of Abria, the Sixth Army of Macedonia. Now it's in the hands of the second prince, the Sith.

When this million-strong army arrived in Narpung Gaul, the 1st Greek Regiment and the Aegean Naval Regiment would join the group.

This is the first time since the founding of the Kingdom of Macedonia that such a large number of troops have been used in one place. It can be seen that King Aloyos was determined to succeed in this operation. Of course, Alous's plan to attack Spain quickly was only his first plan, because Spain was barren and weak, and could not stop the attack of the Macedonian army. Without Carthage, the Spanish alliance would have fallen in a matter of weeks.

At this moment, as far as the eye can see, only Carthage in the entire Western world can be the enemy of Macedonia.

So the king's second consideration was that Macedonia would fight Carthage in the Iberian Peninsula. He was well prepared for this.

On either side of the entrance to the Pyrenees on the Gallo-Spanish border, to the south was the new Spanish light corps led by Dunisi, and the Gallic Interior Guard led by the Gallic general Davisiacus Mosa; To the north were the 1st and 2nd Greek regiments of Macedonia. The two sides are stationed in a confrontation, and no one wants to easily cross the border.

When the army group led by Aloyos arrived at the pass, the balance of power between the two sides changed suddenly, and the battle situation fell to one side.

When the Gallic army detected the Macedonian army, they turned around and fled. This made the Spanish light corps unsafe. Because the mountain pass to the northwest is free of friendly troops, and the flanks are no longer safe.

As soon as the king approached the war zone, he stepped back on his horse. With Whitebeard, he still sensitively smelled the smell of the battlefield, and he immediately lifted his spirits.

Recall that after he forced the Romans into the Latin line, he was stopped by the king. From then on, he entered the royal palace to attend to the government. Now he has left the army and has been away from the battlefield for nearly 20 years. Today, the fifty-one-year-old hero has returned to the battlefield again, but he is sad.

"It's not as good as it was then, when I was young and strong, and I wonder what fear is.

Now it's clear that the speed can't keep up.

Hey, do your best. ”

He said to himself silently.

It is for this reason that King Aloyos wants to regain his bravery and morale through the first battle, so that the soldiers know that the king's sword is still their hero.

Against all odds, Aloyos insisted that he be the first to set foot in Spain. The king is talking about military orders, who dares not to listen?

Aloyos was particularly contemptuous of the brute soldiers here, and did not bring the Praetorian Guard, did not let the other troops cooperate, and only led his own soldiers, the Second Roman Legion, to break through into Spain first.

In his own words: "I led this army across the sea to attack Rome. Today we are playing together again to create a new record. ”

As soon as the king's legions marched, the new Spanish light corps retreated. Aloyos ordered a pursuit, and the Macedonians easily stepped into Spanish territory, opening the picture.

The new Spanish light regiments retreated in an orderly manner, retreating to a gentle hillside in the nearest Pyrenees, and then no longer retreating, they took up their positions and waited for the attacking enemy.

Aloyos did not hesitate to meet him.
