97. Seize the beach and storm it
"Great Chief, the Maconimans have received news that the spies we sent out to 'surrender' the Romans have been taken in by the commander of the Roman legions, but Labinus still doesn't quite believe what he says. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info The Markonian people suggested that we take the second option. ”
In late autumn, at the stronghold of the Germanic Suebi tribes on the banks of the Weser River, the young Grand Chief Burdaventus was sitting in front of a scorching fire, listening to first-hand information from the cavalry. The young chief was not surprised by this information, as Rabinus was a veteran general of the Roman Republic, a rare legion commander from the Gallic Wars to the present. Burda knew how his father had lost to the Romans, so he would not follow his father's old path, brute force could not break the Roman shield wall, and deceit and intrigue were the main themes of the battlefield.
"So, Great Chief, are we really going to do this? Sacrifice warriors of numerous clans to confuse that damned Roman general? If our men fail to gain the trust of the Roman named Labinus, the blood of the tribal warriors will be shed in vain. ”
Seeing that the young chief was silent, the Norman leader was a little restless, and he kindly reminded the young chief like an elder to a young man. Although Burda inherited the leadership of the Suebi tribe in his father's name and led the declining large tribe to a series of victories, Burda was still a hairy boy in the eyes of tribal leaders such as Farion.
"Jonas, you must know that if you want to hunt prey, sometimes you have to pay a price, the Romans have dealt with us many times, and they will not easily trust any of us, the escaped sacrifice, Rabinus believes him on the surface, but I believe that with the wisdom of this Roman veteran, he must have prepared many back-ups, and we have to make Ben. Conig gained the trust of the Romans, and he had to create an attack to give the Romans a taste of the sweetness, so that our spy could play his due role in the future. ”
In the glow of the blazing fire, Bulda turned his face to Jonas, the leader of the Normans. His blue eyes were like the late autumn sky, deep and long.
……
Four days later, on the last full moon night of autumn, the Germanic barbarian army set out like a colony of predatory ants, and the unspacious course of the Weser River was filled with innumerable barbarian boats, simple rafts, canoes, keel boats, and almost every corner of the river. Barbarian soldiers, torches and their chieftains, rushed wildly across the river. There were only a maximum of twelve people sitting on each canoe, and they began the "battle of crossing the river" from the Weser River like a race parade.
"Brothers, aim at those ships with a flare and suppress the shot!"
The raid at night made the Roman soldiers nervous and excited, nervous about the size and number of barbarian troops crossing the river, which they had not expected. Excitedly, the fugitive barbarian "sacrifice" did not deceive them, and that the Germans did cross the river on the night of the full moon, and that Labinus had fortified the fortifications in a good way, and the fortifications and traps had taken advantage of the barbarians.
At night, scorpion ballistas and ballista guns poured bullets and arrows towards the center of the river, one by one with flaming arrows swept across the sky, and then strafed on the river, like a grand fireworks show, however, this is not a fire show, every ignited arrow is a deadly weapon, once it is stained with the Germanic ships, it will cause a raging fire, the barbarian simple canoe ignited, without the boat to cross the river, the Germanic people who jumped into the river will undoubtedly be frozen by the river water in late autumn, frozen to death. This is a terrifying battle.
At the same time, the Creek archers, who had been sent to the tower by Labinus, launched a fierce attack on the barbarian army in the river at the same time. Rockets streaked across the sky like a meteor shower, spilling onto the river in late autumn. The Germans raised their improvised wooden shields for defense, but their wooden shields were ignited by fuelled arrows and had to be thrown into the dark water.
It took a long time for the Germans to land on the banks of the river where the Romans had built fortifications, and by this time the Germanic people who had died under the rain of Roman catapults and arrows had covered the entire river. Jonas and Farion's hearts were bleeding, and they saw their people bleeding and fighting for an impossible task, but as patriarchs, they could not tell them the truth.
Two Roman hours later, a dozen Germanic canoes and rafts staggered to the shore, and the Germanic warriors, covered in blood, charged with mutilated planks and improvised round shields, and rushed to the Roman legions' fortresses and fortifications on the shore.
However, at this very moment, hundreds of barbarian warriors once again fell into the trap of the Romans, and at night, those soft ground covered the deep pits of dense and sharp wooden stakes. Without warning, the Germanic warriors stumbled and fell into a trap set by the Roman legions. For a while, screams erupted and blood splashed. Thick stakes pierced the bodies of the Germanic warriors, and even the strongest warriors were immobilized and died in a trap carefully laid by the Romans. Blood flowed all over the deep trenches laid by the Roman legions.
"Roar, roar, roar!"
However, the sudden terror trap did not stop the barbarians from attacking, and above the fortress, Seklas saw the barbarians who had landed on the shore and began to drag the rafts and canoes that carried them across the river to the shore under the rain of arrows from the Legion, and then a dozen or twenty people carried the big guys together to the Legion's trench fortifications. Obviously, the Germans wanted to fill these deep-dug trenches, traps with these canoes, rafts, and then climb up the Roman defensive fortresses with siege ladders.
"It's a bunch of crazy people!"
The scene in front of him made Sekras scold, and he grabbed his cheeks and ordered the scorpion cannons on the city walls to target the Germanic soldiers who had already landed on the beach.
"Beat their bodies to pieces!"
The captain of the engineer brigade roared angrily, and then, the Roman scorpion cannon, which had lowered its angle, poured another dense rain of stone bullets and arrows on the Germanic people on the river beach.
After the terrifying roar, the iron-clad military stone projectiles passed through the Germanic crowd, and a Germanic warrior who was carrying a raft was smashed off the head, and his headless body stumbled to the ground, scarlet blood splattered everywhere. Another Germanic infantryman was hit by a high-speed stone projectile, shattering his bones and bleeding......
