21. Augsburg
Ye Feng had also seen the beliefs of the Gauls, Druidism, Druidism means high wisdom in Gaul, and the Druids were indeed the most knowledgeable of the Gauls, learning mystical rituals, astronomy, medicine, and philosophy. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoTheir job is to preside over rituals, explain doctrines, adjudicate justices, and educate. Their greatest function was to pass on the knowledge of the Gauls.
The Gauls believed in the immortality of the soul and fought bravely, but they were forced to succumb to the fierce cavalry tactics of the Huns. The Gauls were divided into nobles, freemen, and slaves, no different from the composition of the Huns.
The aristocracy of the Gauls had their own private armed forces, which they used to protect their lands and interests.
And Augsburg was a trade center for the Romans, that is, it would be fruitful to capture it, and when Ye Feng and the nomadic Huns arrived in Augsburg, the battle of Augsburg had come to an end, and more than 8,000 people in Augsburg, regardless of men and women, all went to the city wall to defend against the enemy.
The Alans, Saxons, Ostrogoths, Burgundians, Herululians and other armies drawn from Attila's nation, as well as the Huns, were constantly striking at the dilapidated ship like a great wave.
At this time, Attila led the troops to attack the city, and he ordered the tribes of these barbarians to be the vanguard army, attacking the city with foot combat, and using ladders, crashing wood, and siege towers as siege weapons.
The ladder was made of hard oak, and although Augsburg was very tall in the eyes of the Huns who had never seen the city wall, in Ye Feng's eyes, it was just a low city wall, and Attila's 31,000 allied troops gathered in this town. This is Attila accurate
Ye Feng rode under the city and came to meet Attila, but Attila was attacking the city on the front line, Ye Feng can now observe the scene of the nomadic people attacking the city at close range, in fact, it is no different from the siege method of the farming people, people are very good at learning the race.
Attila had Roman and barbarian craftsmen make ladders, as well as crash cars, which were made of a single giant oak with a sharp tip and then carried with a leather belt, and siege towers, with rolling wooden wheels underneath, like a moving tower, for the Huns and their allies to climb up and shoot the Gauls with bows and arrows at a distance.
Attila was leading the way, and with the Hunnic soldiers, he rushed forward with a hoarse shout. But under the rain of arrows from the Gauls, they had to retreat. Attila was not disappointed, but yelled in dissatisfaction:
"It's not close! It's not close! ”
Attila saw Ye Feng coming over and didn't pay attention to him, because Ye Feng was nothing, just an ordinary tribeagurate who had been recognized by everyone. Attila personally met with Cahaba and Mama and asked them to join him in the siege.
Ye Feng just pouted helplessly, and returned to the rear of Attila's army, Ye Feng didn't want to participate in the battle of attacking Augsburg, he still went back to his old job, the witch doctor. As soon as Ye Feng came to the Wounded Soldiers' Tent, he took over all this with his powerful influence and prestige.
Under Ye Feng's management, the wounded were treated in an orderly manner, with the seriously injured being treated first and the minor wounded being treated later. The seriously wounded were given to experienced rescuers, while the lightly wounded were given to the faithful for simple bandaging.
The entire camp of wounded soldiers was filled with the smell of blood, even stronger than on the battlefield, Ye Feng's hands were full of blood, he had just performed surgery on a seriously wounded person, he was tired and simply rested for a few minutes, and then began to heal the next wounded, after all, the shorter he rested, the more wounded he rescued.
Augsburg, on the other hand, was "busy", the Huns and his allies climbed the walls like ants, and fought to the death with the defenders, using spears, short swords, oval shields, and all the weapons they could attack to bite and annihilate their enemies.
The battle was very intense, and sometimes you could see a Hun ally Alan, jumping onto the wall, and just as he was ecstatic, countless spears pierced his iron armor at the same time, and he looked stupidly at the Gauls, and then at the spears on his chest.
At this moment the Romans drew their spears in unison, and the Alans spat out a mouthful of blood, and the blood on his chest splattered everywhere, as if he had opened a dye shop, and stained the walls red. Scenes like this are happening everywhere on the city walls.
The Alans were a nomadic people living in the cold regions of the Black Sea and Siberia, who specialized in raising horses, but they were not of the yellow race, but of typical Caucasian appearance, with tall stature, white skin, and colored eyes, so that they were called the Semu people during the Mongol era, and they also resisted the Mongol invasion later.
But since they were defeated by the Huns, they became the servant army of the Huns, and now, they are fighting for Attila.
As the battle rages, the siege tower slowly moves out of the forest and pounces on Augsburg, which is surrounded by the forest.
Augsburg, one of the trading centers and settlements of the Romans, had more than 8,000 inhabitants, and now, the Romans chose to fight to the death with the Huns in order to protect their property. Augsburg was an important city in Western Rome and later became an important border town of the Holy Roman Empire.
The national characteristics of the Romans were that they generally had a stable personality and were not prone to losing patience, which made them unable to defeat their enemies with brute force and charge like the barbarians. Instead, they form a phalanx with discipline and defeat the enemy. And their good social organization led to their same on the battlefield, the Romans revered law and order, like any civilized people, rather than unleashing their desires unreservedly.
These Romans believed in the immortality of the soul, which made them very brave on the battlefield, and they worshipped the eagle, which was adopted by the Western Roman emperors as their national emblem. And the Romans were adventurous and loved to explore. The only valuable possessions of the Romans were cattle and gold. This made the Huns and their allies very greedy, so a cruel scene took place in Augsburg.
The Romans were too weak for the Huns and their allies to defeat them easily, but the Romans had wealth that made them easy targets. Moreover, the discipline that these Romans admired, and the phalanx they formed, the Huns believed that the Romans formed the phalanx only to hide their cowardice.
"Catapult!"
The Huns and their allies shouted. But it was too late, and the catapults made by the Roman craftsmen destroyed a siege tower, and dozens of burning stones slammed into the earth from the sky like scattered flowers, and exploded with a bang.
