62. Rhine
Ye Feng glanced at the equipment of the Holy War Army, almost all the knights of the Gray-robed Sect had a heavy iron scale armor on their hands, this kind of thing was extremely precious, so Ye Feng greatly cherished these heavy cavalry, as well as the little Gray-robed Sect knights wearing chain mail and chain mail, this kind of medium-sized cavalry was also a very rare weapon for penetrating and encircling. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
As for the remaining two thousand five hundred infantry of the Grey Robe Order, they were all dressed in gray robes, and the chest of the gray robe was embroidered with a golden horse's head, and as for their equipment, it was too messy, basically everything, but most of them were leather armor. It is the same as the main battle equipment of the Roman legions during the Roman Punic Wars.
And the Gallic servant army, divided into two parts, was originally intended to check and balance each other, and as cannon fodder, it was impossible for them to obtain any good weapons, except for a very few warriors who wore leather armor and chain mail, most of them were cloth.
The whole earth seemed to shake as the whole ground shook as the whole procession formed a neat phalanx, crushing all the enemies that stood in its way to pieces.
The landscapes of the Gallic region are diverse, with endless grassy plains. Ye Feng avoided the Ardennes Heights, crossed from Frisia in the northernmost part of Gaul, and from here penetrated into Germania to reach the Baltic Sea region, avoiding the barbarian sphere of influence. But inevitably, it was necessary to pass through the territories of the Franks and Saxons.
But that's not a problem, as long as you don't attack them yourself, it won't be a problem.
Ye Feng's legion soon encountered an obstacle, on the banks of the Senna River, but the flow was very gentle, because it was a low plain, Ye Feng ordered the auxiliary legions to build a bridge, and with the help of several Roman craftsmen and dozens of Roman legionnaires, a bridge was erected.
This is the power of technology and civilization, far from being possessed by the barbarian Huns, fortunately, when Ye Feng negotiated with Attila, he asked him how many Roman soldiers and craftsmen he wanted, otherwise now he could only choose to bypass the river, which would waste a lot of time.
Ye Feng rode across the wooden bridge, the gentle river flowed tightly, and the sound of horses' hooves was long and long. Ye Feng could see that the branches and leaves of the trees that had just been cut down had not been cleared, so the wooden bridge was not bare, but looked vibrant, with a mix of green and wood colors.
In order not to collapse the bridge due to resonance, he issued a golden edict prohibiting the legionnaires from crossing the bridge in orderly steps, but in scattered, small-scale crossings.
Ye Feng's orders were divided into four levels, the golden edict, the silver edict, the black edict, and the gray edict, each higher than the other, and the golden edict represented the highest rank, and the punishment for violating it was mostly cruel torture to death.
The barbarism, blood, and cruelty are definitely beyond the imagination of any modern person, and the kind of torture is not only physical, but also psychological. Brutal, but reliable.
In Ye Feng's words, a person who was tortured to death could deter a hundred bad people. Most of Ye Feng's daily orders were gray edicts, and after the centurion and the priest received the golden edict, they felt that this matter was very important. didn't worry Ye Feng, the bridge was still very strong and durable, and there was no collapse.
As the actual controller of the Apostle and Holy War Army, Ye Feng was naturally the first to cross the bridge, and then marched all the way to the Flanders Plain in the north. Ye Feng dismounted and took a bath when he passed by the Senna River, and now he is naturally full of energy, and the roaring water is even more pleasing to the eye and full of spirit.
On the endless plain, there are green grasses, and forests like green oceans, the forest is like a magic net, full of darkness and unknown, so Ye Feng can avoid it as much as possible.
There were no women in the Holy War Army, and Ye Feng rode on a horse, thinking that it would be nice if this horse was Hilary or the two Gallic sisters. But taking women with them is extremely troublesome and affects morale, so Ye Feng asked the pious black-clothed archbishop and a few guards to take care of his inner family and let them go to Buda City, which is the royal capital of Attila, and it is safe for them, at least for now.
I don't know how long I traveled, how many rounds of night and day I went through, and finally ushered in the Rhine with the shouts of the Gauls.
Building a wooden bridge over the Rhine is not so easy and simple, and it makes the most sense to build a wooden bridge in the narrowest and gentlest part of the Rhine. Ye Feng surveyed the terrain, like a girl-like reef, legend has it that it was made of iron-hearted beauties, these peculiar reefs are like girls dressing up under the light of the setting sun, and their posture is charming and charming.
There is also an imaginary beautiful singing, the legend of the enchantress Lorelei.
But all Ye Feng could see was the meandering river and the crystal clear water, between the green mountains and green waters, the vineyards scattered along the slopes on both sides of the river, and the Roman-era castles in the distant Germania region, but most of them were in ruins.
The Rhine originates in the Alps of modern Switzerland and flows into the Atlantic Ocean where the leaf peaks pass, but by this time the Rhine has divided into many wide branches, the Lake River, the Ahr River, and the Merved River.
The Rhine is a golden waterway in ancient and modern times.
After a long wait and preparation, Ye Feng and his legion finally crossed the Rhine River Valley, and the neat military formation was rampant on this wanton land, with a temperate oceanic climate, rainy and cool, and the salty and wet wind blew through Ye Feng's body, making him feel comfortable from beginning to end.
The Rhine River gradually drifted away, leaving only a precious memory in the hearts of Ye Feng and the legionnaires, this long journey. Ye Feng was like a backpacker, trying to find his own value with the soldiers in the distance.
Ulding rode his horse and whipped, ran to Ye Feng's face, and laughed:
"I have never been so happy, following the apostles to sacrifice everything for the immortal heaven is the true value of life, this is more enjoyable than drinking wine, eating meat and sleeping with women, and it is more refreshing, my serpent-like sword and wind-like arrows can't wait."
Ye Feng said lightly:
"In the journey of life, you never know where the next destination will be!"
Uldin, on the other hand, touched the back of his head and laughed, not knowing how to answer, and walked side by side with the golden horse's head scepter.
Ye Feng, like these expeditionary forces, is also full of uncertainty and confusion about the future, he is a man, not a god, but the cruel and barbaric world forces him not to think like a mortal, and he is very ambitious.
He glanced back at the Rhine River that had disappeared into the distance, but he muttered faintly in his heart, look, one day, this beautiful place will belong to me.
