Chapter 107: Step by step

King Gueras had eliminated Rankadis' forces and crossed the Danube to the north. Since the Invincible Legion carries heavy siege engines, the marching speed is slower. The Germanic troops, reinforcing the city of Dam from the west, crossed the Rhine to reach their destination ahead of the invincible legions.

When Garras learned that a large number of the main Germanic armies were converging on the Saxon Cady, he thought that his second brother Oonos was attacking Dam, and he would definitely meet strong resistance. So Garrus came to camp on the outskirts of Badawi City, and he was considering whether to help his second brother. However, this idea was soon dispelled, because the Belgian legions that had arrived from the west had become his immediate opponent, and it was believed that the Germanic general Hengerst would not let him go. Garras had no choice but to pray for his second brother, and he trusted the Seventh Legion unconditionally.

As a result, the Seventh Legion of Oonus won a great victory at Cadi, providing flank security for the king's operations and relieving Garas's worries. He immediately organized the Legion to launch an offensive, determined to break the Belgian Legion under the city of Badawi.

Belgium was the border between Germanic and Gaul, where people of both nationalities lived together, and Belgian soldiers were notoriously strong warriors. Now that the Belgian Legion has also added some British mercenary soldiers, it seems that the Belgian Legion must be an elite unit. As for the Germanic and British situation, we will leave it at a later date.

Garas led the invincible legion to take the initiative to challenge, and the Belgian legion was not weak and went out of the city to meet the battle, and joined the defenders of Badawi to participate in the battle. The leader of the Germanic Alliance, Ossidis, personally went into battle, cooperating with the western general Hengist, in order to block the attack of the invincible legion. However, when Osisidis learned of the defeat of the Germans at Cardi against the Germans, he knew that the Germans were gone. The Macedonian army now outnumbered its own, and if it was defeated, the Germans would cease to exist.

The two armies met and were opposed for a long time. The meaning of this is profound, and everyone present understands it.

Gueras regrouped his troops and made a speech:

"My invincible warriors,

The heart of the Germans is at hand, and Badawi, taking this city is a complete defeat for the Germanic Alliance. So victory is at hand.

But there is such an enemy army in front of this city that is thwarting our victory, and you will not let them go. I understand the temper of the Macedonian soldiers, and there is no room for any obstacle in your path, and the Macedonian phalanx of pikes can destroy any enemy. Today we are determined to win! ”

The soldiers of the Legion were jubilant, shouting loudly and banging their weapons.

"I have no doubt about your courage and wisdom in victory, and the military strength of both sides is clear. You are an invincible legion.

But I would like to say that under no circumstances should the enemy be underestimated. Remember, at this critical juncture, you must fight with courage and tenacity, decisiveness and swiftness.

Here's what I ask of you:

Never tolerate the enemy. Don't have any superfluous thoughts in the face of the enemy, and have the determination to kill.

See what I mean? I command you not to use a second arrow to shoot an enemy, and not to use a second sword to slash an enemy. ”

"Yes! Your Majesty! "It seems that the king's will to victory has been communicated to every commander and every soldier of the Invincible Legion.

The king was satisfied, "Do as I say, and you will surely win." It will also reduce casualties. ”

The soldiers cheered, and after the victory came the festival!

On the other side, Ossisidis was also comforting the soldiers in the barbarian language,

"Germans, after this battle, many of us may never see the sunrise tomorrow again. But the Germans will always be in the sun, and the saints will bless our souls.

We Germanic people have never conceded defeat, we will die in battle, but we will not give in. What if there are more troops on the other side, they will be killed without the blessing of the Holy Maiden. The fate of the Germanic Alliance is in your hands now, defend it with your weapons.

Today I admit that each and every one of you is a berserker. Defeat them, warriors, livestock, women I promise you. Come on, Germanic Berserkers, let's revel in bloodshed, have fun in killing, and fight to the end! ”

The brutes screamed "whoa, whoa, whoa".

The battle began, and the Macedonian army began to move upwards with all its troops.

Before the barbarian soldiers could make enough noise, the fireballs fired from the ballistas of the Invincible Legion had already smashed through. One siege group has two stone crossbows, and three groups are six cannons. The Macedonian soldiers laughed happily as they watched the artillery explode in the enemy's formation, blowing up the barbarians into the air. Isn't this just watching the flower show?

After two or three rounds of long-range strikes, the Germans launched a full-scale attack directly. They ran to the midfield and were hit hard by Macedonian Cretan archers, and closer they were hit by javelins.

"Ding Ding Ding Bang" finally the two swords collided, and the bloody fight began. Flesh and blood flying, stumps and broken arms. The battle on the front line was brutal and bloody, and it was really rare for the soldiers on both sides to fight like crazy. Some of the Germanic spear phalanx advanced all the way, even if they were killed on the head of the spear, they did not stop, and hundreds of people in a phalanx were forcibly wiped out under the gun. The Germanic warriors swung their swords and slashed and even cut off their spears. A pair of hand-to-hand soldiers also gritted with their teeth, and the scene was even more cruel.

The cavalry battle was even faster, and the Germanic cavalry attacked the Macedonian archers in groups. Who knew that it was a decoy, and the Macedonian iron horsemen hidden in the formation rushed up like the wind, and swept away the enemy like an autumn wind sweeping away the leaves.

The generals of both sides wanted to win this victory, so they mobilized the soldiers as well. The battle was fought quickly and fiercely. The invincible legions, which had superiority in strength and combat effectiveness, completely defeated the Belgian legions. The last of the Germanic resistance was annihilated.

The Invincible Legion suffered modest losses, and they were able to outwit the enemy with superior equipment and training beyond their opponents. The intensity of the scene only shows that the Macedonian soldiers were able to fight well, while the Germanic troops fought to the death, and it was a war between men. Face to face, against chest, fighting for the honor of the country and the individual.

Ossithis and Hengist fled back to the city with a few guards, and Garas immediately led his army into Badawi. The two elite Germanic generals died in the central square under the dense forest of spears of the Macedonian phalanx.

Macedonia declared the capture of Badawi, leaving the Germans with only the cities of Bodenshom and Trier and a small number of defenders.

However, Garas found that there were few inhabitants in the huge city of Badawi, and all the important buildings in the city had been destroyed.

Good a scorched earth policy.
