"We have no way out, general, only peace talks with them. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"No, the Romans will never surrender to these barbarians."

Seeing that a breakthrough was impossible, the Gallic army suddenly besieged the legions of Kota and Sabinus, and the debate about the way out of the legions began to rage within the legions.

Some centurions believed that the barbarians were almost five times more numerous than the Romans, and that a forced breakout would only wipe out the legions. Therefore, these centurions thought that in a hopeless situation, it was better to make a futile sacrifice than to make peace with the barbarians, and as long as they went out, they could join up with the other legions, and then they would come back, and they could also kill these arrogant barbarians.

But some centurions with a strong sense of honor believed that the barbarians were a people with a low level of civilization, and that the Romans must not surrender to these beastly people, which would be extremely detrimental to honor.

"Brothers, comrades-in-arms, it is impossible to surrender to the barbarians, we are Romans, the blood of our ancestor Romulo flows in our veins, the Romans can die in battle, but they must not surrender to these barbarians. From now on, there is no need to discuss whether to surrender or fight, we need to discuss how to defeat these barbarians, and pass on the information here, so that the other legions know, and let Caesar know. ”

In the middle of the military council, Sabinus spoke, and the old legionnaire suppressed the opinions of all the centurions and legionnaires present with absolute authority. Even Kota sat on the sidelines, his face silent, his hands hanging weakly, revealing a tacit attitude. Indeed, surrendering to the barbarians hurt the bottom line of the Roman pride.

……

The argument went on for a day and a night without any conclusion, and Appis actually agreed with the opinion of the Lord and the faction, and the great husband was able to bend and endure the humiliation for a while, surrender to the barbarians, and surrender his hostages, possessions, and weapons. When they get out alive and join up with other legions and then come back, it will be these barbarians who should surrender at that time. But at the military council, Sabinus's position was so firm that there was no room for negotiation, and Apis said no more.

The next day, the barbarians tied the letter to an arrow and shot it into the legion's camp.

The letter was sent by the Eblones, hoping that the Roman legions would send an emissary out of the camp to meet them outside, saying that there was important information to be presented to the Roman legion commander.

"I'll go on behalf of the Legion Commander."

When he received the letter, Apis volunteered to carry out the mission. However, Sabinus vetoed it outright.

"You can't go!"

Sabinus roared, and no one saw him. In everyone's impression, Sabinus has always given people a calm and calm attitude, but this time, it is different.

"Dear Legion Commander, I mean, I just want to serve the Legion and achieve glory......"

Even Appis's reaction to Sabinus was somewhat surprising.

"That's not a task like that, kid. You are now the captain of my cavalry, commanding the cavalry of the three hundred legions, the elite of the Roman legions, who are responsible for breaking the morale of the enemy in battle. It's very risky to talk to the barbarians, you don't know what they want to do, and if the barbarian tribe outside the camp is hostile to us and you are stabbed to death, then who will command the cavalry? ”

Sabinus looked at Appis's face and said affectionately. These days, the old Legion's concern and protection of himself is so obvious that Appis began to wonder in his heart, what happened in the Legion a while ago? Why did Sabinus, who had always been indifferent to himself and even despise him, suddenly be so enthusiastic about himself. It's like a father's love for his children. All dangerous tasks are no longer allowed to be carried out......

"Perhaps we should have the other cavalry meet these barbarians and dress him up as an officer, who only relied on equipment and ornamentation to identify Roman officers."

Cota added on the sidelines.

"Yes."

……

After a brief preparation, the legionary cavalry, dressed in Appis equipment and clothing, set out from the camp and headed straight for the barbarians' camp.

"You mean it's not just you who are besieging our camp this time, but other tribes?"

The words of the leader of the Ebronnians took the Roman legionary cavalry by surprise. But the cavalry kept their composure and proper manners, and listened to the leader of the Eblonnis.

"Yes, to be exact, we are only the vanguard of this siege of your camp, and now, all the tribes have united against Rome, and in a few days, a large army of northern barbarians (German) will come here, and they also want to attack the Roman legion station."

Pirno, the leader of the Eblonnes, said solemnly, his voice full of worry.

"Then why do you still want to help us when you have a large army under the city?"

The legionnaires were quick to question. However, this is exactly what the barbarian leader Pirno wanted.

"That's why I'm asking you to come this time. Commander. You know, Eblonnis was allied with Rome, and when Caesar came here, I brought my whole family, and the elders of the tribe to surrender, and we had an alliance with Rome, and I didn't want to break this sacred oath, and the Ebronnians didn't want to really be enemies of Rome. So, I asked you to come here this time to tell you that if your legions want to leave here and join up with the other Roman legions, I can get my army out of the way for you. But it must be in the middle of the night, otherwise if the other tribes see it, our Ore will inevitably be besieged by them. I don't want to lose faith in Rome, I don't want to be your enemy, but I don't want my people to be invaded by foreigners. ”

When Pirno said these words, his tone was sincere, and his expression and gesture were very well done, like an old man asking for peace from a young and vigorous young man. For a moment, the Roman legionnaires almost immediately believed the words of the barbarian leader and even felt sympathy for his situation. However, the long-term military psychological training allowed the legionnaires to calm down at the last moment, the enemy is the enemy after all, and no matter what they say in front of the battle, it may be a lie and a fraud. How the legion will move and fight, I believe that Kota and Sabinus have their own decision.

"Okay, Patriarch, I will convey your words to our Legion Commander without relating, I hope your words are sincere from the heart, then on behalf of the Seventh Legion, I would like to express my gratitude to you."

……

"Chief, everything is ready."

As soon as the Roman cavalry had gone, Pirno's assistant came from behind the curtain and reported to his leader the progress of the ambush plan.
