Chapter 378: The Conquest of Urgan (2)

Before launching the war, Qin Dong ordered Liu San's dark network intelligence organization to conduct a detailed investigation of the situation in Urgan, and figured out the specific situation of the generals and troops under Urgan, which can be regarded as having a very intuitive understanding of Urgan, but these are not enough, and it is necessary to be familiar with the terrain in Urggan's territory, but now it is too troublesome to send someone to draw a map, and it takes too long, Qin Dong can't wait for so long, he has already sent people to find people who are familiar with the terrain in Urggan's territory.

Eight days later, Afald came to Qin Dong with a Germanic named Mondstadt, who asked, "Afald, is there anything wrong with you?" ”

Alfold stroked his chest and said, "King Qiqi, didn't the king ask the last general to find someone who is familiar with the terrain of Urgan territory a few days ago?" Now find one, it is him, so the last will bring this man to the king! ”

"Oh?" Qin Dong looked behind Alfard.

Afald stepped aside and let Mondstadt behind him meet Qin Dong, a typical Germanic man who was tall and wore a rough robe made of thick animal skins, and his feet were wrapped in thick animal fur, and he didn't know if it was easy to walk. At this time, the north-central part of Europe was much colder than in the 21st century, and the Germanic people, tempered by the harsh climate and harsh living conditions, were tall and powerful. They are strong-willed, have amazing endurance, and are natural hunters and warriors. Compared to the Roman civilization, the Germanic society was very primitive. The Germanic people had no writing, no history, they generally wore robes made of animal skins, and women were able to weave some rough linen. In the whole of Germania, there are fewer than ninety settlements that can barely be called towns. The Germans lived in veritable grass huts, made of logs. The hay was covered with a roof, and not a single stone, brick or tile could be seen. The Germanic people were usually homeless, and the only property worth mentioning was their large herd.

The Germanic men were fierce and fierce, and in peacetime they did little work except hunting. Drinking all day long to relieve boredom, while women and the elderly take on all the productive activities. As soon as there was a war, they immediately recovered. Gearing up and eagerly trying, it seems that the horn of the charge is the most pleasant music in the world. The primitive production methods of the Germanic people could not support so many idle people, so many joined the Roman legions as mercenaries. This is also the reason why there were many Germanic mercenaries in the Roman legions. Every year of famine. The Germanic peoples had to migrate on a large scale to flee the famine, and as a result, they regularly clashed with neighboring peoples.

Although the Germans were typical barbarians, they possessed a very rigid sense of morality. The Germanic society has a great deal of respect for women, and women are involved in major events. The Germanic people were strictly monogamous and placed a strong emphasis on fidelity between husband and wife, in contrast to the unruly relationship between men and women in the Romans. Germanic women have the fortitude and strength that is not inferior to men. They usually went out with the army, sewing and cooking for the men in the camps; No matter how critical the battle, they remained calm. If defeated, they will not hesitate to commit suicide to preserve their chastity. The Roman historian Tahiti commented on Germanic women. They are said to be very respectable, but not cute at all.

"Mondstadt, meet your lordship!" When the Germanic Mondstadt saw Qin Dong, he did not salute, but only said something sullenly.

"Bold! When he saw the king, he knelt down and saluted," one of the guards saw that Mondstadt had seen Qin Dong not kneel and salute, so he shouted loudly and pressed the hilt of his sword.

Qin Dong raised his hand to stop the guards from continuing to scold Mondstadt, and said with a smile: "Kneeling down and saluting is just a sign of respect and awe, this Germanic warrior does not know this king, and may have never heard of this king's name, how can he respect and respect this king?" ”

"Yes, King!" The guard bowed and stepped aside.

Qin Dong looked at Mondstadt again and said, "Your name is Mondstadt, right?" Are you familiar with the terrain of the Urgan territory? Is every inch of land familiar? ”

Mondstadt said, "I don't know every inch of this place, but I've been to most of the places here, and there's not a single road I haven't walked!" ”

"So powerful? You must know that this Germania is not small, including almost most of the later Germany! Qin Dong was a little surprised in his heart, and immediately began to ask Mondstadt about the terrain here, and Mondstadt answered them all the way until Qin Dong had no problem before he had to accept it.

After believing that Mondstadt was indeed familiar with the terrain of Germania, Qin Dong asked, "Okay, Mondstadt, you convinced me sincerely, tell me, why did you agree to help us?" You must know that we are also from the Xiongnu Empire, and we also represent the royal court of the Xiongnu Empire, and as far as I know, you seem to be very dissatisfied with the rule of our Xiongnu Empire."

Mondstadt said, "Because I know that helping you is helping myself!" ”

"Why do you say that?" Qin Dong was very strange, there was no essential difference between himself and Urgan to Mondstadt, they were both invaders, why would Mondstadt say that?

After listening to Qin Dong's words, the pupils of Mondstadt's eyes contracted suddenly, and then he said with an angry expression: "The traitor of Urgan . Kill my wife, I have a blood feud with Urgan and will not die, but I know that I and my tribe alone cannot defeat Urgan, and at this time you are here, I need you to avenge me, and you need me to lead the way for you! ”

Qin Dong nodded when he heard this, yes, Germanic people are generally monogamous, husband and wife are generally loyal and affectionate, and it is reasonable for Mondstadt to hate Urgan so much, but he is still a little uneasy, and asked, "Mondstadt, which tribe are you from?" ”

"Cherusi Tribe!"

When Qin Dong heard this, he immediately exclaimed: "Cheru's western tribe? Is it the same Cherusian tribe that ambushed three elite Roman legions at Fort Teutonic Woods hundreds of years ago, annihilating them all? ”

Mondstadt scratched at his messy hair and said, "I've heard the older people in the tribe talk about it, but I don't know!" ”

It seems that this is it, this is also normal, the Germanic people have no writing, no history, but there may be some legends passed down from generation to generation, and it makes sense that Mondstadt is not very clear.

Qin Dong nodded, and suddenly said, "Mondstadt, how can this king believe what you say?" You said that your wife was raped by the men of Urghan. Killed, maybe others know about it, but this king doesn't know, how does this king know that you are not deliberately sent by Urgan to lead. And the one who seduces the king into his snare? ”

"This ......." Mondstadt was a little embarrassed, he really had no way to prove the sincerity of his intentions, and he had no way to prove that he had a grudge against Urgan, and he couldn't think of a way to prove it after clutching his messy hair for a long time.

Qin Dong saw that this guy's brain was a little inflexible, so he took the initiative: "In this way, I have a way for you to prove yourself, that is, to use the life guarantee of all your clansmen to prove that everything you say is true, and you really came to cooperate with this king, are you willing?" ”

Mondstadt said indignantly, "Hmph, do you think we Germanic people are as cunning as you? There is never a lie in what I'm saying in Mondstadt! ”

Qin Dong shrugged his shoulders and said, "I can't make myself believe a stranger I just met, don't you sue me that you will believe it, if that's the case, then you're really a little stupid!" ”

When Mondstadt heard this, his face turned red and he said angrily, "Okay, as you said, I vouch for the lives of all my people, and if I were an undercover agent sent by Urgan to deliberately lead your army into a trap, you would kill my entire clan!" ”

"Good!" Qin Dong immediately said: "That's it, come here, go and bring a set of leather clothes and a pair of shoes for this Germanic strong man."

"Yes, King!"

One of the guards quickly brought over a set of leather clothes and a pair of leather boots, and Qin Dong asked them to give them to Mondstadt, and said to Mondstadt, "Try it on, if you wear such a leather coat to move around your body, it is much more flexible when you wear it, and it is not inferior in terms of warmth!" ”

Mondstadt was not polite, and immediately took off his animal skin robe, which had not been nitrated or tanned, and then changed into the leather coat that Qin Dong asked him to wear, and then put on leather shoes.

Mondstadt was satisfied with his self-appreciation, and then happily paid his respects to Qin Dong with a Germanic courtesy.

Qin Dong nodded and said to Alfard, "You take Mondstadt down and cooperate with our people to draw a map of the Urgan territory, and you must be as detailed as possible." Don't miss even a stream or a dirt bag.

"Yes, King!"

With Mondstadt's cooperation, a Roman painter in the army soon drew a map of Germania, and the map was drawn in great detail, which Qin Dong could see at a glance.

With a map and a guide, Qin Dong could rest assured that his army would be greatly reduced in terms of being attacked by surprise, so he ordered Alfold to lead his army across the Elbe to the west bank, and then capture Magdeburg on the west bank of the Elbe, and hold Magdeburg as a bridgehead for the subsequent armies to cross the river.

Magdeburg was a small Germanic settlement, and an army of 1,000 men stationed there in Urgan was quickly killed by the Fifth Army brought by Alphard, and none of them escaped. However, after the battle between Zheli's Seventh Army in the north and the people of Urgan suffered great losses, because Zheli fell into Urgan's trap, and a regiment rushed headlong into the encirclement set by Urgan, although they insisted until the reinforcements arrived, but at that time they had already suffered heavy losses, fortunately they persevered, and if they did not wait for reinforcements, it is estimated that the whole army will be wiped out.
