133. Holy See Army
Barbarians, as the name suggests, are far from civilized, barbaric races. The pen & the fun & the www.biquge.info are a race relative to the Roman civilization. Just like the Eastern civilization outside of China.
And now, a barbarian army is rising from the Baltic Sea to the Caspian Sea, the Gepids, the Ostrogoths, the Alans, etc., dozens of barbarians have risen up, Ye Feng personally led a legion of the Northern Huns, plus two auxiliary legions, and a mercenary, and pounced on the royal court of Pannonia.
Along the way, the rebellious barbarians became vassals, and the church and clergy became the de facto masters and leaders of this vast army. The army crossed the Vistula and approached the Dnieper.
Along the way, the song was triumphant, and the morale was high. But the barbarian leaders have their own ghosts, and each one has their own careful thoughts.
The water of the Vistula River washed away the dirt on the soldiers, although Ye Feng was the backbone and leader of the march, and the initiator of this holy war, he was still a little apprehensive in his heart when he personally led the army to fight.
Speechless all the way, Ye Feng's holy war army also increased geometrically, from the two legions of heavy infantry of the Lombards who fell to the church crusade army at the beginning with 10,000 people, to the three legions of the light legions of the Hrulli people with 15,000 people, a cavalry team of 1,000 people, and the powerful infantry of the Suehui people, and the 20,000 Suebi people of the four legions.
The number of legions rose enormously, and finally across the raging Dnieper, except for the Alans and Bolgars, who swore to defend Attila's orthodoxy, the rest of the barbarians turned to the church power.
Although the Hun king Elak already knew that the barbarians were generally wavering, he was full of confidence in the Huns in his hands, and he had a full eight legions of Hun soldiers, including three cavalry legions, five infantry legions, and a full 40,000 men. There were also two auxiliary regiments of cavalry and one auxiliary infantry regiment of the Alans, and two auxiliary infantry regiments of the Bolgars.
There are also the rest of the small barbarians, who will also participate in the royal army, and in Erak's opinion, the papal army is nothing more than a rabble.
Shining sharp knives, sharp swords, and soldiers with bright armor constitute the most shining style of the Holy See Army, and the Northern Hungarian Legion, one by one, marched neatly, in unison, full of powerful momentum.
On the other hand, looking at the messy but very hygienic barbarian legion, Ye Feng couldn't help but shake his head, but he didn't have any good way to deal with the barbarian army for a while, although the barbarian army had no discipline and sense of honor at all, but their powerful combat power that broke out for freedom and spoils of war even Ye Feng had to tremble.
"Oooo
The Northern Hungarian Legions, which were lined up in a neat formation, looked at the barbarian warriors who came to vote with amazing momentum.
These barbarian warriors came out of the villages, from the towns, and there was no doubt about their fighting prowess, and their courage and bloodthirsty style would definitely terrify all the self-proclaimed civilized armies.
They rallied only for freedom and booty, without glory and blood. Only the ruthlessness and cunning of a hungry wolf. The deadliest weapons are their hearts and bodies, not the unsharp swords in their hands.
Ye Feng straddled the holy knife at his waist, held the hilt of the knife, and walked to a makeshift camp with a high-spirited face, and the king of the Gepid people, Aldarik, since the beginning of the army, these barbarian chieftains have called themselves kings.
There were also the Suebi king Zeni, the Heruli king Chris, and the Lombard king Fred. They looked at Ye Feng with a respectful expression, their eyes full of respect. The liberators of freedom, the leaders of religion, are standing in front of them like this now, and Ye Feng really makes them grateful to Dade.
The King of the Gepid people said with a look of reverence: "My old friend, since you are not an outsider, don't see outside, Ye Feng, I want to ask what your plan is?" ”
Ye Feng smiled gentlemanly and said, "Plan!" My friend! I don't have a plan, when we're outnumbered enough, and when the Elraks rebel and leave, all it takes is a trivial fight to rip off his head! ”
Ardaric stretched out his hands, looked at the kings, and said, "Look! That's my old friend! Simple enough, rough enough, I like it! ”
Zenni and the kings laughed and laughed, they were all kings, equal status, and had the same authority, so they were not restrained by each other, and showed their most primitive emotions.
Zeniha laughed and said, "That's it! Simple and crude! Ha ha! ”
......
The army was assembled like a tidal wave, and the assembly of a barbarian army was very interesting to both Valentini and Marcian, and the once powerful northern neighbor was now to collapse, and from the point of view of the situation, the Papal army would be victorious.
Therefore, in the big tent of the Chinese army, which was guarded by many generals and hundreds of barbarians, the figure of the Roman general appeared, Aetius, known as the last Roman, wearing a red Roman general armor and a scarlet cloak standing in the wind.
A group of barbarian kings, dressed in simple linen clothes and sharp swords at their waists, were looking proudly at the Roman Aetius in front of them, the hero of the Romans, the savior of the Western Roman Empire, but the enemy of the kings.
At the Battle of Charon that day, Aetius's heroic posture seemed to be still fixed in the eyes of everyone, and he commanded Ruoding, with the assistance of the Visigothic king, to defeat the Hun coalition. But this is the image in the hearts of the Romans, and in the hearts of the barbarian kings, he is an out-and-out enemy.
Defeated that day, the barbarians were discouraged, and the heroes retreated.
Now that Aetius had come to camp alone, the kings did not have any good feelings, but they looked coldly and stood proudly with their swords.
Aetius looked at the young man in front of him with a heroic face, Ye Feng, this person, the first feeling that Aetius gave was youth.
There is also an unfathomable indifference, this kind of person, if not a fool, or a genius.
Aetius looked at Ye Feng, and Ye Feng also looked at Aetius.
Is this the Pope of the Huns? No less than the emperor's general appeal and influence. Aetius thought, but his heart was shocked.
Ye Feng thought in his heart, this is the famous Aetius, the last Roman!
Aetius was dressed in a brigade uniform, but Ye Feng was wearing a cotton armor with a heavy chain mail, although it was not very good-looking, but the protection was amazing, or Aetius couldn't help but open his mouth first.
"By the will of Caesar of the Western Roman Empire, we want to keep peace with the Huns, sign an alliance, and resume trade, I don't know what your Excellency's conditions are?"
Before Aetius came, he heard that the Hun pope was a direct person, so he didn't hesitate, and directly stated his conditions, because smart people don't need to hide each other, smart people can't deceive smart people, or more direct and sincere.
