Seven hundred and fifty-three. The Battle of Fate (Part I)
Everyone thinks they have the victory in their hands, whether it is Wang Weiyi or Caesar.
When subordinates are required to have a strong confidence in winning, as a manager, you also need to have the confidence to win. In this regard, Wang Weiyi and Caesar have undoubtedly done a very good job.
They are all patiently waiting for the day of the decisive battle. The closer the war is, the more it is necessary to behave calmly in front of all his subordinates, and to convince all his subordinates that victory is in their hands.
Wang Weiyi and those Germanic warriors played the ancient Germanic archery game. Baron Alexon, who was a god-like on the battlefield, kept losing to the Germanic warriors when playing archery games, which caused laughter from everyone, including Richthofen.
There is no atmosphere of progress in the coming of the Great War here......
At the same time, in the Roman military camp, Caesar held a drinking party for the generals who were about to go to war.
At the reception, Caesar did not say anything about the war, but told them some interesting stories about the city of Rome, which also drew laughter from the Roman generals.
Wang Weiyi and Caesar have done everything they could do before the outbreak of the war, and the only thing they can do now is nothing more than to put down the burden of their subordinates to the greatest extent and go to the battlefield in the best state.
In fact, if it is said that the two of them are the most eager to usher in war......
When this day finally came, Wang Weiyi and Caesar coincidentally did exactly the same thing:
They all got up late.
Peacetime. They must have been the first to rise up and inspect their troops. But this time they were unusual.
Seeing the Archon appear, Anliugus walked up, "Honorable Archon, we are ready. ”
"Oh......" Wang Weiyi only replied lightly.
"Do you have anything else to command?" Anliugues was a little surprised by the Archon's attitude.
"What else do you have to command?" Wang Weiyi's expression seemed to be equally surprised: "Do I still think that you can't win?" No. I don't have to worry about anything, I know you're going to be able to get rid of all the Romans today. ”
Aliuguez and the leaders of the barbarian tribes, each of them had a look of excitement on their faces.
The consuls trusted them so much, and this trust would ultimately win them the ultimate victory.
No one can stop the Germanic people's determination to fight to the end for their land and freedom......
......
"Your Excellency the Governor, the soldiers have begun to line up." When Caesar appeared, Caleni hurried to meet him.
"What a nice weather." Caesar did not mention war at all. Instead, he looked at the sky stupidly, and muttered, "Isn't it the happiest thing to kill all those barbarians in such weather?" ”
After speaking. His gaze fell back on Kaleni: "Kaleni, take my place to command the troops, and fight the barbarians?" ”
"Is it still me?" Kaleni froze there, before. He has already suffered several defeats.
"Why are you not you? My friend? Caesar smiled and said, "You have always been my most trusted friend, and I firmly believe that you will be able to wash away all your shame this time!" ”
Kaleni trembled with emotion...... He couldn't believe that Caesar still trusted himself so much after his repeated failures......
He swore that he would never fail Caesar's trust again, and that he would use a hearty victory to teach the barbarians a lesson that they would never forget......
......
The sun is rising very high, and today is a good day.
Soon, though, the bright sun was about to be stained red with blood.
Countless people will be here, fighting for their respective beliefs. Countless people will be like wild beasts here. Tearing each other and stripping each other of their lives and souls.
No one thought about what would happen after failure. These things shouldn't be something they think about right now.
Roman legions and barbarian warriors have appeared on the battlefield...... The solemn atmosphere on the battlefield was almost suffocating......
Soon, one of the most tragic battles will break out on this battlefield!
In front of the Roman legions, the cavalry kept running, accurately transmitting Calani's orders to the ears of each of the ten-commanders.
And here in Germania, Wang Weiyi, Richthofen and Guo Yunfeng, three people known as the "devil's messenger", stood at the forefront of the team.
In every battle, they will be the first to charge, and they must use this way to inspire the determination of all the barbarians to win.
Whether the situation on the battlefield is active or passive, they are the soul of all Germanic peoples!
The familiar trumpets of the Romans have sounded, and the huge Roman phalanx has begun to move slowly towards this place......
And all the barbarians remained motionless, patiently waiting for the Romans to approach them.
Now they were accustomed to such a way of fighting, and as long as the consul did not give an order, even if the Romans' short swords shook on the tip of their noses, their bodies would never shake.
And this is also the discipline that Wang Weiyi needs most.
Wang Weiyi silently looked at the approaching Romans, his face hidden by the skull mask so that others could not see any of his expressions.
If all the battles ahead are just foreplay, today will usher in the climax of this drama!
In the future, there will be wars with the Romans, but today the meaning is definitely different.
If victory can be achieved today, it will usher in a long period of peace for the Germans, and Wang Weiyi will have plenty of time to do what he wants. And once it fails, then. The worst outcome will be hard to imagine......
He took a deep breath and took off the round shield and knife on his back. And it was held tightly in his hand. He slowly surveyed his men, and he couldn't see any fear on their faces. Then he said in a loud voice:
"The Romans are coming! These Romans, who should have been killed 10,000 times, are here! I want you to cut off every piece of flesh from them, and drink up every drop of their blood. I want you to put the spears in your hands through their mouths. I want you to hang their bodies at the top of the woods! I want the Romans to tremble when they hear the name of Germain henceforth and obediently offer their land and their women! ”
There is no big reason, not even vulgar and barbaric words. But this caused a "ho-ho" sound among the Germanic peoples.
Here, there is no need for any big truth, and the words that can best stimulate their desire to fight are always the most effective......
"Trebuchet!"
In Wang Weiyi's shouting. The trebuchet, which had once terrified the Romans, roared again.
Although the Romans had long known about such a terrible weapon and had many countermeasures, they still looked embarrassed by the frenzied blows of twelve trebuchets.
Huge boulders fell in the air one by one. Then it smashed into the ranks of the Romans. The smoke of gunpowder can literally drown out everything on the battlefield.
The Romans did their best to fend off the attacks from the trebuchets, maintaining an intact formation and stubbornly approaching the Germanic people......
On the other side of the battlefield, the Legion of Gaius, who had also been ordered by Caesar to join the attack at the same time, watched all this coldly, and the barbarians did not use trebuchets to attack them.
Gaius knows that the show is about to begin.
The Roman legions withstood the fierce fire of the opponent, and after paying a lot of casualties, they finally got out of the range of the trebuchet with difficulty.
Now, it is up to these soldiers to fight in the most real way......
Wang Weiyi's war knife suddenly moved forward:
"For the land. For women, for freedom! ”
"For the land. For women, for freedom! ”
In the shouts of the mountains and tsunamis, the "decisive battle of the barbarians" broke out!
At least, that's what the history of the Romans called this battle - the decisive battle of the barbarians!
Caesar, once invincible, will face another truly invincible victory here:
Ernst. Bram - Skull Baron!
The battlefield is about to be overwhelmed with blood......
......
At this time, the Vandals, commanded by Pelut, appeared opposite the regiment of Gaius.
The Vandals also had the Germanic habit of becoming warriors in the event of a battle, whether men, women, old men, or children. So from here, it looks like the Vandals are a black oppression.
"Attack!" Gaius coldly gave his order.
The Romans rushed towards the Vandals......
......
"Kill!"
Wang Weiyi's high-pitched voice was sounding on the battlefield, and this voice stirred the determination of every Germanic person.
He, Richthofen and Guo Yunfeng are like three invincible myths on the battlefield, constantly rushing to kill in the ranks of the Romans. They were followed by Germanic warriors who were determined to victory.
It was the first true cooperative battle of the Germanic Confederacy, a battle in which countless tribes joined forces.
But these people who are born warriors have no sense of strangeness in their cooperation, each of them knows what they should do on the battlefield, and each leader knows which area he should be responsible for.
This must be thanked to Elena.
Before the battle broke out, she had done sufficient research and divided the most reasonable area in detail during the battle, which also allowed Wang Weiyi to arrange the tasks of each Germanic tribe in the most detail.
This was what the Germans lacked the most, but it was what the Germans were best at......
In the future, the Germans will be like a precise machine, no matter what industry or aspect, they will first carry out the most precise analysis, some of which is even a little cumbersome.
But it's a prerequisite for their success.
And now, such a character has appeared here.
From the very beginning of the battle. The Germans then launched a higher and higher charge against the weakest link of the Roman legions:
That's their flanks that lack cavalry protection!
Of all the Germanic tribes, the Cimbri and Teutons fought the Romans the longest and were the most warlike. took on this responsibility.
They repeatedly attacked the Romans' flanks, forcing the Romans to divide their forces again and again to protect their flanks from being overwhelmed, which also largely dispersed the Romans' forces on the frontal battlefield.
Kaleni was completely unprepared that the barbarians would be so clever in using such tactics.
In his impression, even in Ernst. When Bram began to command the battle, the barbarians would always attack only from the front, and they never considered any other tactics.
But this time it was so unexpected...... From the start, Calleni and his Roman legions were on the back foot......
And when the Cimbris and Teutons were trying to rush to the flanks of the Romans, the front commanded by Wang Weiyi himself was also constantly interspersed with battles in the Roman legions.
He had only one purpose. The Romans were not to be allowed to fight as they wanted.
Looking at the already somewhat chaotic troops, Kaleni was angry and anxious, but he couldn't think of any good way to solve it.
There was even a terrible feeling rising in his heart. Every time. Bram was always able to find the weak points of the Romans and always get the upper hand. He thought about it, maybe no one in the whole of Rome could do that......
He shook his head vigorously, now was not the time to think about that. If at this time the Legion of Gaius can quickly join the battle. will be able to stabilize the tide of the war.
But news kept coming, and Lord Gaius was in the middle of a bitter battle with the Vandal, and he had even ordered the auxiliary legions to enter the battle in advance.
Kaleni was a little annoyed, Gaius was facing nothing more than a horde barbarian, and he had two legions in his hands!
He knew what was going on, Gaius was an archon, and he was only a lieutenant, but Caesar had given him command of the frontal battlefield. Gaius, of course, would not be happy, he was happy to see his own failure.
He gritted his teeth: "Auxiliary Legion." Offensive! ”
As a last resort, Kaleni passively invested in the auxiliary legion in advance.
This was the last thing he wanted to see, and the Auxiliary Legion shouldn't have used it that way. But the current situation on the battlefield forced him to do so.
It seems that this decisive battle was not so smooth from the start......
......
"Lord Archon, the barbarians seem to be a little overwhelmed." Dachius said, pointing to the battlefield.
Indeed, there was now a scene on the battlefield in Gaius' favor, and the barbarians who were surging in motion seemed to be preparing to retreat.
A smile tugged at the corner of Gaius' mouth.
Ernst. Brem made good on his promise, and the conspiracy between him and Ernst was to use the Vandals to successfully get Gaius off the battlefield and achieve a "victory" to escape Caesar's accusations.
As for doubts? Anything without evidence can always be called suspicion......
"Prepare for the pursuit!" Gaius said coldly.
"Chase?" Dachius was stunned for a moment: "Your Excellency, those Vandals are not worth our pursuit, a single tribe of barbarians cannot form an impact on us, and now, Kaleni is in dire need of our support." ”
"Dachius, my friend." Gaius smiled faintly: "Germania is also a separate tribe, but it has caused us a lot of trouble, even Keith is defeated again and again in their hands, who says that the Vandals are not like this?" Moreover, Caesar has given all power to Caleni, and the valiant and warlike Calleni does not need our help......"
Dachius understood at once.
He followed Gaius for a very long time, and when the battle broke out, Gaius, who was the first of Keith's men to fight, was always suppressed by the Lieutenant Consul Caleni, which also made him feel resentful.
Now Gaius's intentions are very obvious, he doesn't want to help Kaleni at all.
"Your Excellency, are you throwing all your soldiers in pursuit?" Dachius asked cautiously.
"Yes, all the soldiers!" Gaius coldly gave such an order.
At this time, he didn't care about the victory or defeat of the Roman legions at all, and people always had to think more about themselves......
......
"Lord Doge, Lord Gaius has defeated the Vandals!"
"Good!" A smile appeared on Caesar's face: "Gaius's bravery is always the most reassuring to me. ordered, the Legion of Gaius immediately joined the frontal battlefield. ”
"But Lord Gaius has gone after the defeated barbarians!"
"Chase?" Caesar's face changed drastically: "Why do you want to pursue the defeated barbarians?" Send the fastest horse to catch up with him and tell him that this is the most important battleground! ”
"I'm afraid it's too late to catch up with Lord Gaius......"
Caesar's brow tightened, and he guessed Gaius' thoughts.
He was jealous that he had not given him command of the battlefield.
Caesar had to do this, however, because there had been news from Rome that Gaius's wife was doing a lot of work for Gaius in Rome. This quickly made Caesar feel that Gaius's loyalty was not the same as before.
That's why he chose Kaleni.
However, until now, Caesar did not suspect that Gaius would betray him. Perhaps Gaius simply thought that the Roman legions could easily win in a frontal battle.
But such a move is really very dangerous for Caesar, and a united team is the most important thing.
It's just that Caesar can't take care of these things for the time being. (To be continued......)
