"We can't confront the Romans head-on, we will bury ourselves!"

"Leonie, it seems that after all these years of receiving Odin's traditional teachings, I still haven't been able to domesticate you into our people. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info You are still afraid of the Romans, the Tabriks are not afraid of the southern dwarfs, our axes will split the heads of the Romans. And you, at all, have not inherited the appearance of your ancestors. ”

Lepida's military campaign caused serious divisions of opinion among the Germans, and the Sugumbri agreed with Leonie that they should follow the example of the Gauls Vicintoli and defeat the Roman legions by attacking the Roman food convoys with wandering squads. Many of the Suebi tribal leaders were already in high spirits, and they were outnumbered and demoralized in their alliance, intending to crush the main forces of the Romans in a single battle, and then go directly south to plunder the Romans' big cities. When Leonie stood up to speak, many of the clan leaders even shouted insults and mocks.

"Then, if you must fight openly with the Romans, I will be absent from this encirclement."

Leonie eventually left the horde amid the ridicule and ridicule of the crowd. And Curio chose to stay, even in his heart, Curio agreed with Leonie's idea, but the morale of the alliance formed by the Suewei and the various tribes was so high at this time, as the leader of a separate clan, Curio couldn't say much. One can only hope that the war situation will not be too miserable by then.

……

A few days later, Lepida's large army met the Germans head-on, and in this way, it happened that Lebida could not ask for it, because most of the Gallic tribes along the way had not dared to provide too much food and grass to the Roman legions under the devastation of the Germans, and at this time, Lepida was in need of a victory in a major battle to save his position and the difficult situation in front of him.

Because the place where the two armies met was a valley, both sides were camped in the woods of the highlands, and between the two forests was a vast clearing, so no scouts could go to the other party's camp through the open space to reconnoitre, which made the Roman legions and the Germanic army almost unknown to each other before the war, and even Lepida did not know how many Germans there were on the other side of the forest, and the people of Suebi did not know how many Roman legions there were. It's just that both sides are waiting for a bloody battle.

"The light infantry was placed in ambush on both flanks of the legion, and did not attack, but waited until the opponent was engaged in the main force before attacking from the flanks and throwing light spears at the rear of the enemy. Archers and slingers can be suppressed for as long as they can, covering the heavy infantry to reach the battlefield as quickly as possible. The cavalry was led by me personally, and after the battle between the two armies gave me a signal that I would lead my men into the woods and deal a fatal blow to the Germans. ”

Before the battle, Lepida carefully arranged the arrangements for this battle. Having fought with both the Gauls and the Germans, Lebida knew that the barbarian bows and arrows were actually more powerful than the Roman legions, so it was impossible to suppress the opponent with long-range weapons before the battle.

The traditional Roman tactic of having light infantry come forward and throw light spears before the battle was obviously useless in this battle, because the Germanic cavalry and archers were so powerful that no one knew how the light infantry would be threatened without the protection of the heavy infantry.

Finally, the arrangement of cavalry, as Caesar's former cavalry commander, Lepida knew the key role of cavalry in the whole battle, so, like Anthony, Lepida also personally led the cavalry to charge and completely defeat the barbarian army that was fighting.

"But the catapult can injure the cavalry by mistake."

Repida's subordinate, Utirenus, was quick to ask worried.

"Don't worry about that, my brother."

Lepida said, putting his hand on the shoulder of Utirenus, this is not only an ordinary bloody battle, but also a bloody battle that lays the Germanic war, and even, it is a battle in which Lepida established himself in the northern base area, so, for Lepida, its weight is heavy, it is worth a perfect battle, and it is worth his life.

At dawn, the two sides poured out of the camp, and in this cold northern land, the Roman legions and barbarians would once again fight to the end......

Twenty thousand Roman legionnaires and fifteen hundred Gallic allies formed a long line on the land in early spring. Due to the muddy ground beneath their feet due to the light rain that had fallen last night, the previous plan to attack the Germans with fire had to be changed on the fly, and the archers were killed directly with cold arrows, and the catapults were set up directly on the gentle slopes.

And on the other side of the forest, a wild and primitive cry also sounded. It was thousands of beasts roaring. The barbarians beat their shields with swords and tomahawks, while the Roman legions on the opposite side methodically operated the machinery with a high degree of discipline. The catapults, the ballistas had been placed during the barbarians' roar, and hundreds of heavy stone projectiles had been filled into the slots, just waiting for the commander's order.

Ahead, the phalanx of legionary infantry began to move, advancing. The barbarians' roars grew clearer, pressing the Roman legionnaires on the front line like a raging wave, and then the Germanic archers began to rain arrows in front of the battle.

As Lepida had predicted, the archers of the Gauls were no match for the Germans, and the heavy infantry of the Legion were in a neat formation of tortoiseshell formations under the orders of the field commander and moved slowly.

Then, the large siege weapons of the Roman legions, which were located behind the position, began to be thrown......

The ropes pulled to the limit were released, and hundreds of irregularly shaped stone projectiles were thrown out, speeding down the Germanic positions. In the crowded place, stone bullets fell, splashing pools of strong blood, and the blood and flesh of the barbarian soldiers were splashed, and the entire position suddenly sounded the sound of countless stones hitting the body. Even, some stone projectiles flew by, flattening the heads of the barbarian infantry, and the person who was still intact just now turned into a headless corpse.

However, the Germanic people were no ordinary barbarians, and the horrific and bloody images not only did not frighten them, but only aroused their wild fighting nature. Before receiving the order from the commander to attack, many barbarian infantry roared and charged at the Roman legion phalanx in front of them!

Under the gloomy woods, at this moment, countless barbarians rushed like a rushing tide to the slowly moving phalanx of Roman legionary hoplites......
