Chapter 362: Expedition, Encounter the Enemy

After another three days, it was Luga's turn. Early that morning, Luga was in the Doge's Palace's house, and with the help of several handmaidens and Ana, he put on his heavy armor.

For protection, Luga naturally sees it very important, so he needs a half-body chain mail, and then puts a muscle cuirass on the outside, although it looks a little nondescript, and it is a little bulky, and it is a little difficult to walk, but Luga likes the sense of security brought by such a heaviness.

"How long are you going this time?" Anai asked, tightening the belt on Luga's armor.

"I don't know." Lu Jiali straightened the chain mail on his cuffs and said, "I will go west until I reach the seashore. ”

"By the sea?" Anai was a little puzzled, "Then it must be very far, why do you have to go so far?" ”

"Haha, don't worry about this!" Luga smiled and touched Anai's head, and said dotingly, "You are waiting for me here, and I will be back." Anai smiled and nodded at Luga.

Walking out of the Governor's Palace, the steps were full of farewell nobles, they were all Luga's financing objects, and when Luga finally went on the expedition, they were naturally in the middle of the road to farewell. In this, Arecio and Sebastianus were standing in the ranks on both sides, and this time they did not plan to follow Luga on the expedition, because the blind confidence in Luga had already made the two of them dissatisfied, so they expected the defeat of this battle. Outside the gate, the meeting hall was filled with heavily armed soldiers, and their phalanxes of 100 men were lined up at both ends of the hall to leave the main road in the middle, which was reserved for Luga to pass.

The hall was huge, and on the left was the Ninth Sanctioner Legion, and because the Eagle Banner had been awarded, the bearer stood in the middle of the road, as he was to follow Luga's chariot. On the right, there is the newly formed Fifth Lark Legion, to whom Luga has high expectations, even on their helmets, Luga has prepared feathers for them to set in their helmets, as Caesar did.

Andrew rode his horse to the bottom of the steps, he looked up at Luga and asked loudly, "General, when are we leaving?" ”

Seeing Andrew's urging, Luga naturally did not dare to slack off, he slowly walked up to Arecio and Sebastianus, and asked them, "Won't you go with us on the expedition?" This will cost both of you a lot of fun. ”

Arecio and Sebastianus looked at Luga with disgruntled expressions, and both shook their heads in refusal.

"Ha, well-then!" Luga said: "Then let's make a bet, if we take Augusta Treville, then you two will follow me unconditionally and continue to go west, and you must give me ideas and plans wholeheartedly, and you can't be unconvinced!" ”

"Huh, Luga!" Arecio said in a mocking tone: "If you can take Augusta Treville with your 10,000 troops, then I, Arecio, will follow you with all my heart, and I will follow you wherever your spearhead attacks." ”

Sebastianus didn't say anything, but he nodded his head and agreed to the bet.

"Good!" Luga smiled slyly and said, "Then it is a matter of saying, you two will spend a few days in the Governor's Palace, and when the news of my victory reaches the city, you two will set off immediately, and I don't have so much time to wait for you!" ”

With that, Luga walked down the steps of the governor's palace, got into the carriage, and went out of the city along the main road escorted by Andrew and the general's guard.

"Luga!" Outside the city, Andrew asked, "With more than 10,000 of us attacking Belgian Gaul, how sure are you?" ”

"Eighty or nine!" Lu Jia thought for a while and said: "Eight or nine are not far from ten, as long as we don't let the Ba Gao elements unite at the moment of our arrival, then we will fight hard, and no one will be afraid of anyone." Andrew nodded again and again, but the expression on his face was still so confused, as if he didn't understand.

After a week's journey north, Luga and his legion reached Agenthuramte, the closest city to Augusta-Treville and certainly the largest central fortress of the northwestern defensive line. It was filled with border guards from the province of Gran Sequanolen, all improvised patchwork troops, wearing helmets and no armor. Only the officers wore armour, and such armaments were not uncommon in Rome at this time, and they numbered more than 3,000 people. Their commander was Tesbius, an experienced veteran who had repelled more than a dozen attacks from the Bagunda elements in the defense of the city, but the Bagunda elements did not seem to have any intention of retreating.

Outside the city of Argenturam, the traces of the battle were everywhere, as the Bagauda, short of money and food, had begun to turn their attention to the nearby Grand Sequanoren. In order to expand their territory, the Bagunda elements naturally spare no effort to attack and attack, and if they do not pay attention to the outside, they will fall apart.

Hearing that the governor Luga had arrived, Tesbius hurried out of the city to meet him, and followed Luga's chariot into the city.

"How's the battle going?" As soon as Luga got out of the car, he didn't think about the other questions he asked directly.

"This time, the army of the Bagunda elements is about 5,000 people, and they seem to be led by a leader, and I remember the name of the leader is Ürgen." Tesbius then said: "This is not a small force, I heard that they fought for the rebels of Augusta-Treville, and their main commander was Tiberius, a Roman nobleman. ”

"Roman nobles?" Luga was a little puzzled, because in his image the Gundam elements existed to rebel against the Romans, and their leaders turned out to be Roman nobles and hostile to the Roman Empire, what is the contradictory reason?

"Are you sure you're right?" Luga asked.

"Sure!" Tesbius's tone was firm, and he seemed to be very careful about this information. "Maybe this Roman nobleman will be able to feed them, so he will let these rebels follow them with all their hearts."

"That's easy!" Luga continued: "Let the army rest for a day, and tomorrow morning, if these barbarians don't leave, then they don't have to go back!" ”

The next day. As is customary, the Bagunda rebels are coming again, and they are still not more than Luga expected, almost a mob, dressed in the coarse cloth clothes of their usual daily work. Weapons were spears and axes, but unlike in the past, they were trained to form a phalanx in front of Luga to face the defenders on the walls.

"A rabble!"

Luga said in his heart, his hand clenched the hilt of the sword, and with a wave of his big hand, he roared: "Get out of the city!" ”

A large phalanx of 100 men trotted all the way to the rhythmic trumpets of the trumpeters, running out of the city step by step and lining up in front of the rebels of Ba Gouda.

Such a sudden and heavily armed soldier surprised the Bagunda rebels, and in the face of such a large team, they suddenly had a little commotion and were at a loss, which was exactly what Luga wanted to see.
