117.Siege of Braidam (II)

In the quiet of the night, there was darkness and silence on the outskirts of Braidam City. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 The guards on patrol were asleep at their posts, and suddenly, a figure that emerged from under the tower wiped the neck of the "guard" defending the city, and the warm blood stained the hands of the barbarian assassin, and the Gallic prisoner disguised as a Roman soldier did not even have time to make a sound, and fell down in grief, and his body was thrown aside.

Subsequently, hundreds of Germanic people began to quietly climb over this wall, although it was a wall, but in fact it was only a low slope of earth, and in a remote Germanic town, there could be no large Roman wall. It's just that Bredam is still a regular town, so it must be protected by a fence.

The Germanic soldiers who had climbed the tower in advance quickly opened the rudimentary wooden gates undisturbed, and a large number of Germanic warriors swarmed in.

According to Leonie's original plan, more than half of the Germanic people entered the city, and instead of looking for the sleeping Roman soldiers in the city, they rushed straight to the market and granary. After the day's trading, all the supplies were stored in private warehouses on both sides of the market, where the Roman merchants' carriages and ox carts were also stored, and Leonie's original plan was to carry the goods from the warehouses into the wagons and leave the town.

However, Leonie, the vigilant tribal chieftain, smelled a hint of unease as she entered the city. Roman soldiers? Not a single regular army soldier didn't see it? It is impossible for a city so busy with trade during the day that not even a single Roman legion of centuriens could be seen at night.

The hunter's acuity made Leonie sense that something was wrong, and as Leonie was about to blow the horn of retreat, the mournful shouts of the tribal warriors began to be heard from the streets. Flames burst into the sky, and heavily armed Roman soldiers burst out of the dilapidated houses and alleys.

The Germans, who were unloading their weapons and carrying grain and grass, were unprepared and suffered heavy casualties under the fire of javelin spears. Some of the warriors of some tribes were shot through the bodies by the heavy javelins of the Roman soldiers before they could even draw their weapons to meet the enemy. In front of him, a Roman legionnaire's heavy javelin was piercing the head of a tribal warrior, and the Germanic warrior who was shot in the face did not say a word, and fell to the sky, and in the firelight, Leonie could almost see the face pierced by the heavy javelin, and the flesh and blood were blurred.

"Hymers! Hymers! You traitor, come out for me! ”

In the midst of the chaos, Leonie shouted. Anger made her voice hiss. Around, there were constantly Germanic warriors who were cut off by Roman soldiers in the rush and stabbed in the body.

"Leonie."

Amid the firelight and shouts of killing, Hemers, the leader of the Germanic cavalry, stepped forward. Behind this barbarian warrior stood the Germanic cavalry who had been reporting information to his patriarch with him. To Leonie's anger, behind the former heroic cavalry and warrior Hemers, there was a row of Roman soldiers armed with large shields and javelins......

"You traitor!"

Leonie shouted. Her expression was painfully contorted with anger and bewilderment.

"Lay down your arms, Leonie, and don't let our people bleed to death in vain, the Romans have promised us a land to live on, a fertile land."

Hemers was protected by his accomplices, and the next step was to approach the barbarian chieftain Leonie. And Leonie's eyes were always full of anger and contempt for this tall tribal man. She tightened her longbow and quickly mounted her arrow, causing the cavalry leader Hemmers to raise his hands nervously, knowing his temper as a former patriarch. At the slightest disagreement, she has a murderous heart, and she is no longer like a woman. More like a beast.

"Romans? Did they become your friends? Or have you become your master? When did you fall to your knees at the feet of that Roman officer and make a dirty deal with him? When did the word of the Romans be trusted, and how much did they give you? Oh, a bag of gold? They bought your personality, and your faith was so cheap, Hymers. ”

Leonie held a bow and arrows in one hand and an arrow in the other, and cursed angrily at the same clan in front of her, in Leonie's eyes, Hemes was no longer worthy of being her clansman. He's just a traitor. Leonie was heartbroken, and she worked for years to unite the entire Germanic tribe, but in the end her own people rebelled against her under the temptation of the Romans. Is this the sorrow of a nation? Or is it that your own tribe has not yet awakened?

"No, it's not a dirty deal, and with the property that belongs to me, I'll lead our people to a stable life. Instead of having to endure cold and hunger in the forest, I will use this property to settle them, and the land and cattle and sheep will be had. Leonie, believe me, it's not a betrayal, it's saving our clan. ”

Hymers took a step closer, and the atmosphere grew tense. Leonie's arm holding the bow almost began to tremble, and her emotional difficulty was so difficult that she felt the urge to release the arrow at any moment. The Germanic people around Hemers were extremely nervous, because once Hemers died, they would not be able to get the property promised by Appis. The Roman soldiers behind him all looked relaxed and looked at the farce in front of them with contempt.

"A traitor is always a traitor!"

When her anger reached the point where she could not contain it, Leonie let go of the bowstring in her hand, and in an instant, the bowstring was twisted to the extreme, and the arrow was sent out of the longbow.

At the last moment, the barbarian warriors beside Hymers flew in and blocked the deadly arrow. The arrow pierced him in the back, but it didn't hurt important parts, just a stream of blood.

"Catch that stinky bitch!"

The Roman soldiers behind Hymers suddenly shouted. However, Abyss ordered the Sucumbri leader to be captured alive, and instead of using javelins and spears, the legionnaires drew their daggers and swarmed them. Two Germanic berserkers wielded stone hammers and smashed the cheeks of the rushing Roman soldiers.

At the beginning of the bloody battle, Hemmers and his party were not idle, and the Germanic cavalry flew out, their bows and spears aimed at the two burly guards beside Leonie. After a gale-like volley, the personal guards of the two Germanic chieftains were already covered with arrows and javelins. What the Roman soldiers did not complete, these Germanic cavalry who had taken refuge in Rome did...... With the usual weapons and tactics against the Romans, he dealt with his own companions......
