Seven hundred and fifty-five. Lay the saddle on the right horse!
The smoke of gunfire on the battlefield and the shouts of the warriors have dissipated, and all that remains is the crazy cries of the Germanic people!
Victorious, the Germans have finally achieved this fateful victory!
After the defeat of Caleni's legions, Caesar had to make a global retreat, and the Romans, who were struggling to support themselves on the battlefield, left this terrible battlefield in disarray.
Beginning with the Second Roman Invasion, the Consul of the Germanic League was defeated by Ernst Brown. Under Bramm's command, the Germans defeated the Romans again and again, and finally won a crucial victory in the final Armageddon.
Caesar, having suffered this defeat, no longer had the strength to organize a new battle, and he would have to return to Gaul with his heavily lost legions for a long adjustment and replenishment.
German, will receive a long period of calm......
Wang Weiyi needs such an adjustment period......
The cheers continued into the night, when they gradually subsided. In this decisive battle, Caesar lost more than 3,000 soldiers, which was a huge number in the Cold Weapon Age.
There were about 1,500 Romans who were called captives, and there could have been more, but the Germanic people, who had killed the red eyes, for a time did not want captives at all.
These 1,500 Roman captives would face the same treatment they had once given to the Germanic people: a deplorable slave.
What they did to the Germans in the past, now the Germans will return to them as they were......
Every Germanic knew who brought them such a glorious victory. Every Germanic knows that anything impossible can happen under the command of this man!
He is Ernst. Brem – a messenger from hell!
So when Wang Weiyi came down from the battlefield. He was greeted by countless awe-inspiring glances and wave after wave of cheers......
At this time, Wang Weiyi was already like a god in the minds of every Germanic person......
But this is not what Wang Weiyi cares about the most......
"How's the Gaius Legion doing?" Wang Weiyi asked.
"They pursued us halfway through, and when they heard the news of Caesar's defeat, they all retreated." Piliuth, who had not killed many Romans, was a little unhappy: "Your Excellency, my warriors are complaining to me that we have not killed many enemies. Not many Romans were caught, are the Vandals unworthy of warriors in your eyes? ”
Wang Weiyi smiled: "No." You are the bravest warriors, and without you, perhaps we would have lost this decisive battle once the Legion of Gaius joined the battle. So you'll get the most loot first......"
The consuls gave such a high rating to the Vandals. Finally, the depression in Priut's heart was swept away, and a smile appeared on his face.
"You, Charman, are doing the same good." Wang Weiyi continued: "Dadalit has brought shame to the Frankish tribes, and you and your men's bravery have swept away this shame completely, so you will also be rewarded......
One by one, he praised the tribes that had excelled in this decisive battle, and then set his sights on the Teuutonic chieftain Boyko and the Cimbri chieftain Sieras: "As for you. Boyko and Siras, your warriors will be rewarded by me. But you will be severely chastised by me......"
Boyko and Siras froze, completely unaware of what they had done wrong.
In this decisive battle, they took the lead and killed countless Romans, but why should the consuls punish themselves?
Wang Weiyi looked at them coldly: "You have the bravest warriors, and the Romans lost the desire to continue fighting when they saw you, but as a leader, you really disappointed me in your performance." At the beginning of the attack, the Cimbri attack was thwarted, and the Teutons were on the sidelines, but they did not come to their aid at all...... While the Hessians feigned surrender, the Teutons were surrounded, but the Cimbris did not lend a helping hand either......"
Boyko and Seras' heads hung involuntarily......
Wang Weiyi continued: "Do you know why I am arranging for you to attack the flanks of the Romans together? For I know that you have fought side by side. I know that you were once dear as brothers, and although there was no happiness between you later, I still firmly believe that you can reconcile in the face of a common enemy...... On the battlefield, brotherly support is more important than anything else. Here, you can fight each other, but on the battlefield, all you have to do is to unite and face the same enemy together, but unfortunately you didn't do it......"
His tone was full of regret, and his words seemed to be addressed to the leaders of the Germanic tribes: "As I said, even if we can win this decisive battle, the Romans are still far superior to us, and if all the Germanic tribes are not united, even if we can win ten victories, the Romans will surely defeat us." But if we could fight every time we were like today, the Romans would never dare to look at Germain squarely! ”
"Your Excellency Archon, we were wrong, and we promise never to make such a mistake again!" Boyko and Siras exchanged glances, then said at the same time.
Wang Weiyi nodded: "Your warriors will be rewarded, but you can't get my generous reward, do you have any different opinions?" ”
"We are willing to accept such punishment......"
After the victory, the warriors of the tribe were rewarded, but the leader of the tribe had nothing, which was a very severe punishment for the Germanic people.
But at this time, Boyko and Sierras were willing to accept such punishment.
Clear rewards and punishments are what Wang Weiyi must do. Before the next invasion of the Romans arrived. He must build a Germanic alliance that is incomparably united.
Not only these people in front of them, but also all the Germanic tribes that have not joined the alliance for the time being......
......
The war is over, and Wang Weiyi's adventure has just begun.
"I'm going to Rome." When Wang Weiyi told his companion about this decision. His companion was not surprised in the slightest.
There is nothing that a rambler would not dare to do, and nothing that a rambler would not dare to go.
Now that he has come to this era, what awaits Wang Weiyi is adventure after adventure.
"Four Knives and Elina stay." Wang Weiyi thought for a moment: "Elena is responsible for the connection with Xiao Ling, and let Xiao Ling arrange a set of training suitable for the Germans, how our team can train the Germans to become a real army...... The four swords are responsible for specific training according to the outline formulated by Xiao Ling. ”
"Okay." Guo Yunfeng readily agreed.
Elena agreed a little reluctantly, to be honest. She wanted to go on an adventure with Wang Weiyi, but from another point of view, it was indeed a little inappropriate for a woman to enter the city of Rome with Wang Weiyi.
Leonie will also have to stay at the base......
"Manfred and I'll go." Wang Weiyi thought for a moment: "The names of Ernst and Richthofen are too eye-catching. We'll have to give ourselves a Roman name, just like Monsieur Moyol did......"
Before Richthofen could react, a faint smile was already on the corner of Elena's mouth.
Mr. Moyol, it reminded her of the happy times when she was alone with Ernst in China......
"My name is Spulius......" Wang Weiyi thought for a moment and said, "As for you." Manfred. From now on you will be called Tius...... Ah, we are two slave traders......"
"Yes, honorable Lord Sprisus." Richthofen said with a smile.
Wang Weiyi also smiled: "Of course, before that, I think we should visit Master Gaius first......
......
This crushing defeat left most of the Romans in deep distress.
Of course, not all, there are some people who feel fortunate that they have survived the terrible attacks of the barbarians. Finally, we can go back to Gaul. They swore that they would never return to this horrible place if they could.
Caesar found himself free of anger. It's more of a reflection.
In his Gallic Wars, he wrote:
"We lost the victory of the decisive battle of the barbarians...... Even in my barracks, I could still hear the cheers of the barbarians, which was a disgrace to Rome, and my greatest personal disgrace, and even with my eyes closed, I could not forget what I had suffered with the barbarians...... Of course, this is not the end, this is just the beginning...... I will retreat with my tribe to Gaul for the time being, and in the future, I will return with an even larger tribe to tell the ignorant barbarians that the nobility and dignity of Rome cannot be challenged...... But before that, I have to reflect on why such a thing happened......
Ernst. The sudden appearance of Bram was undoubtedly a very important reason, this man had a very special temperament that could unite the originally scattered barbarians. Even I have to admit that when I first met and talked to him, he was attracted to him...... I am even more certain that this man will definitely be my biggest opponent in the future...... Now, among the Roman soldiers, some people already called him the messenger sent by the demons, and he wore a mask on the battlefield with great deterrent power, and how to dispel the soldiers' fear of him was the first thing I had to consider when I returned to Gaul......
In addition to the reasons of the enemy, there were also big problems within us, and the feud between Gaius and Kaleni was also a very important factor in this defeat. But I'm obviously more willing to trust Kaleni than to choose Gaius......"
Caesar was sure that his book of Gallic Wars would not be seen by others for a long time. That's why he dared to comment on his subordinates like this:
“...... The Romans had to be as tightly united as the barbarians, free from all distractions and selfishness. I am not optimistic about the emergence of such a situation, after all, all people are selfish...... In this battle, the barbarians used a new type of weapon, which we called the 'Germanic trebuchet', a powerful weapon. I was deeply worried. But the source of concern is not how much damage it can inflict on us, but how many new weapons of this kind will be available to barbarians in the future. Maybe the legendary 'Holy German Reich' really existed...... Will it become Rome's most terrible enemy......"
When this is written. His squire cautiously walked in: "Lord Governor, Lord Sentumaros has arrived. ”
"Oh, the newly sent governor of the province of Germania?" Closing his note, Caesar said coldly.
"Yes. It was the governor of the province of Germania appointed by the Senate. ”
"Let him in." Caesar said coldly.
A spring-breezy Sentumaros walked in. When he arrived at Caesar, he said, "Caesar, my friend, I have heard that you have launched a second punitive war against the barbarians, and I think you must have won the victory. ”
This damned, vain fellow, he probably knew he had failed. So you came here to laugh at yourself, right?
Caesar held back the anger in his heart: "Unfortunately, I failed. ”
"Failed? It's incredible. Sentumaros seemed astonished: "You are the invincible Caesar." You are leading the most powerful Roman legions, how can you be defeated by those ignorant and backward barbarians? ”
Caesar was not at all irritated by him: "Sentumaros, I think you probably don't know the barbarians at all, they are now strong and united. ”
Sentumaros sneered: "Barbarians are barbarians, and the Roman legions can easily sweep them away!" ”
"Ah, yes." Caesar replied coldly, "I have forgotten that you are the newly appointed governor of Germania, and that I am not to blame for punishing the barbarians." Your Excellency Governor of Germania, in order to carry out the orders of the Senate, and to show respect for you, my soldiers will leave here tomorrow, and then the glory of pacifying the barbarians will be handed over to you......"
Sentumaros's face changed slightly, not to mention that his newly formed legion would take a long time to arrive, even if it really arrived today?
Although he despised Caesar's civilian origins, Caesar's combat ability was known to all the Romans, and he conquered all of Gaul with little effort. Now that even Caesar has been defeated at the hands of the barbarians, how can he do it with his newly formed legions?
"Caesar, my friend, why should you be in a hurry to leave?" Sentumaros changed his face and said, "Look, my legion is coming here, and when they arrive, we can unite and punish the barbarians the heaviest of all, don't you want to see this?" ”
Shameless and despicable villains, who will only climb up the ranks with their aristocratic status and beautiful faces, Caesar kept cursing in his heart.
But there was no show on his face: "Centumarous, my friend, how glad I am to help you, but you also know the rules of the Senate, I am the governor of the province of Gaul, and you are the governor of the province of Germania, and I cannot meddle in your affairs." Before that, I wanted to destroy as many barbarians as possible for you when you arrived, but unfortunately I failed, so I can only leave here with regrets......"
Sentumaros's face turned extremely pale, and he knew that without Caesar's legion, he would not be able to stay here for even a minute, and those barbarians could appear in front of him at any moment and tear themselves to pieces.
He smiled reluctantly, "In that case, then please allow me to return to Gaul with you, and then wait for my legion to arrive." ”
Caesar looked at him with disdain: "Of course, the honorable Governor of Germania, Lord Sentumaros......"
When Centoumarus left in disarray, Caesar's attendant was a little unwilling: "Respect Lord Caesar, do you want to allow this villain to seize Germania?" What qualifications does he have? ”
"yes, what qualifications does he have?" Caesar said coldly: "But he was appointed by the Senate, and if I openly resisted, I would have betrayed all Rome and would become the public enemy of all Romans." But I am not worried, for Centoumarus is not capable of defeating the barbarians, and besides, as governor of the province of Germania, what reason should he have to stay in the province of Gaul? ”
His attendants understood at once that soon Caesar would force Centoumarus to fight the barbarians and drive them out of Gaul. And with Sentumaros's ability, how can he defeat the barbarians?
Sentumaros simply has no way to gain a foothold here, so the future Germania still belongs to Caesar, and it is only a matter of time for now.
With Sentumaros's intelligence, he would never be Caesar's opponent, and his fate could end up rolling back into his comfort zone in Rome! (To be continued......)
