Seven hundred forty-eight. Germain – Attack
This is the place for all Germanic peoples!
Ernst. Bram had made this very clear to the Romans.
In the land of the Germans, only their friends are welcomed, and all enemies are not welcomed. When the enemy had to use war to forcibly gain a place that did not belong to them, the Germans had only one way to fight back:
War!
Greet war with war - destroy war with war!
The trebuchet was just the beginning, and this weapon, which the ancient Greeks and Romans had already used, but which had shown its terrifying power in the hands of the Germanic people, had already taught the Romans a terrible lesson.
Ernst. Bram, the baron from hell, is telling all arrogant Romans in his own unique way that not only do you have new weapons, but more powerful weapons will also appear among the Germanic peoples. You are not the only ones who have the power to destroy the enemy, but the Germans who can destroy everything as well!
Fight back with war!
For the Romans, the Germanic trebuchet – at least that's what the Romans now call this new weapon...... The appearance of the Germanic trebuchet brought them psychological shock and fear. What Bream did then made them feel another shock:
This terrible baron actually allowed them to bring back those wounded soldiers who were struggling on the line of death!
Barbarians seemed to all the Romans to be brutal and inhumane. They are barbaric, backward, and eat raw meat. They will kill each other, and once the enemy falls into their hands, they can only meet a terrible fate.
But now some of the barbarians are showing. This is not the case at all.
They graciously allowed the Romans to take their wounded soldiers with them, and they faithfully fulfilled their promise, and the Romans, who returned to the battlefield in fear to take their wounded companions, were not attacked at all.
All the Germanians were calmly watching the battlefield, and at the top of it was a hunting banner flying:
Skeleton Battle Banner!
Underneath the battle flag, stood a man wearing a skull mask. That's Baron Alexon, and what he stands for is true invincibility!
No one can challenge his authority. Not in the past, not now!
Everyone who is willing to be his enemy will be completely trampled under his feet, and then they will face it. It will only be the baron's merciless and indifferent eyes.
Remember his name - Baron Skeleton!
A baron from hell......
Every attack of the Romans. can be defeated by the baron in different ways, and the victories he has achieved are never miserable, he has become accustomed to the smallest price in exchange for the greatest victory.
This is true on any plane......
"With trebuchets, we can fully grasp the initiative on the battlefield." Richthofen looked a little smug.
"I don't think so." Wang Weiyi said lightly: "Although the power of the trebuchet is huge, it has a shortcoming, the requirements for ammunition are somewhat high, although it is only some stones. For the advent of trebuchets. The Romans were unprepared, and neither were the Germannes. Xiao Ling has provided us with such a weapon. But she couldn't make sure she had enough ammunition. I've seen that the ammunition we were able to store could at best repel two attacks from the Romans. I believe that not only do we know this, but Caesar will soon discover it. ”
Richthofen nodded.
The initial appearance of new weapons on the battlefield can indeed bring great lethality and shock, but the enemy will soon find a solution.
Moreover, ammunition is indeed a matter of concern.
Relying on a new weapon alone may be able to achieve victory at the beginning, but it will never lead to final victory......
Ernst apparently took precautions to notice this.
"Hopefully reinforcements can arrive sooner." Wang Weiyi muttered: "Every minute of delay we have here is equivalent to hitting the Romans with more strength, as long as reinforcements can appear in time, the Romans will definitely fall into chaos." ”
"Are you so sure which tribes are coming?" Richthofen hesitated: "I see that some of them are not particularly interested in the Germanic Confederation, such as the Frankish tribe. ”
"I know it." Wang Weiyi smiled: "The leader of the Frankish tribe is indeed not very interested in our alliance, and he only reluctantly joined when everyone agreed, but I trust other people, and I firmly believe that they will appear." Don't forget that the Germans have always been a very united people! ”
This strong self-confidence comes from Wang Weiyi's understanding of this nation......
At this time, Anliugus came to his side: "Honorable Archon, I have some questions that I don't understand, why do we allow the Romans to take their wounded soldiers?" Wouldn't killing them give the enemy a greater deterrent? ”
"Anliugues, of course it's easy to kill them." Wang Weiyi patiently told him: "But do you think of what will come of killing these wounded soldiers? The Romans will be humiliated and angry to see their comrades die, and they will be killed by our own hands, and will inspire them to seek revenge. When a new battle breaks out, they will charge desperately, with the determination to the death, and once this energy is aroused, it will be very terrifying. But if we allow them to take the wounded, it will play a very different role. They will know that falling into our hands is not so terrible, and their determination and will to fight will be greatly weakened, and this is what I want......"
Speaking of this, he was slightly silent: "If you want to completely defeat a powerful enemy, it is not enough to rely on force alone. ”
This kind of thing, Baron Skeleton has done countless times. He believed in the glory of force, and he understood it better. Force does not bring everything.
Like now.
Although there were several victories over the Romans, Rome was still an invincible behemoth for Germania at this time.
Anything to be taken lightly. It would bring ruin to the Germanic peoples, especially when Rome was defeated again and again, and the situation reached a point of no control, which was bound to provoke the greatest anger of the Roman rulers and unite them like never before.
And this is the last thing Wang Weiyi wants to see......
......
Of course, no matter what Wang Weiyi thinks. Caesar's wrath had been thoroughly aroused.
Just earlier today, he heard the news of one of his allies, the last thing he wanted to hear. Crassus, who was also his staunchest ally, died on the battlefield and was poured into his mouth with melted gold by the damned Sabbatarians.
Crassus's death was a very heavy blow to Caesar, which reduced his power in Rome a lot.
This is secondary. What annoyed Caesar the most. While he was fighting for Rome, Pompey and the Senate actually founded a Germania province and appointed a new governor.
Caesar had long regarded Germania as part of the province of Gaul and would never allow anyone to touch it......
Of course, he did have some difficulties in Germania at the moment, and if he didn't get rid of the barbarians before the new damned governor arrived, then Pompey and the Senate would have an excuse. His own prestige will also be dealt a heavy blow.
This forced Caesar to speed up.
He was a very intelligent commander who was also very good at analyzing the situation on the battlefield. After carefully studying the stones thrown by the Germanic trebuchet, he made his judgment accurately: "Such stones, the barbarians do not store a lot, they will consume a lot of them, and you, Kalyni, what you have to do now is to attack in a scattered formation......"
"Scatter the formation?" Apparently, Kaleni's mind is not very bright, and his intelligence cannot be compared with his loyalty and bravery: "But if we cannot keep the phalanx attacking, I fear that our soldiers will not be able to adapt to ......"
"Kaleni, Kaleni." Caesar smiled a smile rarely seen since the beginning of the war: "We don't want an immediate victory, but to deplete the enemy's reserves as much as possible, because once the enemy throws the last stone, they will lose their most powerful weapon." ”
Kaleni understood, but he was still a little worried: "Even though we attacked in a scattered formation, we were still going to inevitably suffer casualties. ”
"As long as I can achieve victory, I don't care how many soldiers are lost." Caesar's face became gloomy again: "When we defeat the barbarians, we will definitely make these barbarians pay, and I will tell them in the most brutal way that the life of a noble Roman citizen must be compensated with the lives of a hundred barbarians......"
Caesar's determination to fight to the end had been made, exactly the same as the determination of the Germanians to fight to the end.
He decided to consume the barbarians at all costs, to achieve victory at all costs.
Caleni no longer hesitated, and under his command, the Roman soldiers scattered in a rare way to attack.
Although the Roman soldiers were severely ill to attack without the protection of the phalanx, they still had good results. Under the blows of the Germanic trebuchet, although the casualties continued to mount, they did not have to form a dense phalanx to meet the terrible stone rain.
Caesar kept his losses within an acceptable range......
Wang's fears were coming true, and Caesar was keenly aware of the weakness of the Germanic trebuchet.
The boulders are still flying out, the consumption is getting bigger and bigger, and the boulders that can be used are rapidly decreasing, but in order to block the attack of the Romans, such losses are helpless, but they are necessary.
Now, it's up to anyone who can tell to keep going.
The Germanians apparently did not realize this at all, and in their opinion, it was the most pleasant thing to be able to kill the Romans to the greatest extent, and they never thought that the boulders would run out sooner or later, and because of this, they still threw the boulders without reservation.
"Boom", the boulder constantly stirred up countless dust. Roman soldiers continued to die tragically, but as the fighting dragged on, Roman soldiers gradually found a way to deal with this terrible weapon.
As Wang Weiyi said before. Any new weapon, when it first appears on the battlefield, will be able to achieve great results and cause great shock to the enemy. However, the enemy will also quickly find a way to deal with it.
Never underestimate the wisdom of your enemies......
The first attack was repulsed again...... However, after only a short adjustment, the Romans quickly threw themselves into the second attack.
The six trebuchets used up their last bit of ammunition and stopped moving. These six trebuchets. played a great role, killing countless Romans. However, once the ammunition is exhausted, they are no different from the most ordinary machines.
The remaining six trebuchets were still fighting hard. However, there is not much ammunition available for them.
The enemy's fire weakened suddenly, giving the Romans hope. They began to believe Caesar's words that if they managed to survive the barbarians' attacks, the terrible weapon would be worthless.
Right now. What happened on the battlefield is confirming Caesar's words...... The spirit of the Romans is coming!
"Stones! Stone! "On the positions of the Germans. Tibius's voice sounded so loud.
The ammo men desperately loaded the ammo and the throwers desperately smashed the ammo at the enemy, all of which made Tibius very pleasant. No one hated the Romans more than Tibius, and that hatred came from the first war.
On that occasion, Tibius lost many of his friends, and he watched the Romans slaughter his countrymen, and he watched the Romans trample their land, and there was nothing he could do.
But now under the leadership of Lord Consul. The opportunity for revenge finally appeared before the eyes of the Germanians......
Three more trebuchets were out of work after losing all their ammo, but Tibius simply didn't care.
"Stone. Stone! Tibius's voice was still so loud.
Suddenly, everything came to an abrupt halt......
"Stones, stones?" Tibius shouted angrily: "Why did you stop? ”
"We have no stones, Tibius!"
When he heard this answer, Tibius was slightly stunned, but he did not have the slightest fear: "All Germanian warriors, take up your weapons, and let us fight with the Archon!" ”
When they came to the side of the archon, they found that Wang Weiyi was so calm. He had long considered that trebuchets could only hold back the Romans for a while, but they were not the key to victory. If you want to really defeat these Romans, the biggest thing to rely on is the weapons in your hands......
He saw that the Romans had survived their greatest crisis, and that the originally scattered formations were beginning to regroup. The Roman phalanx was forming.
Wang Weiyi touched the skull mask, and he knew what it meant. This represents an undefeated myth on the battlefield!
Then he slowly pulled out his sword, took off his round shield, and looked at the companions beside him: "Are you ready?" ”
"Yes, we're all set!" It was his companion's calm answer.
"Let the Romans see what a true Germanic warrior is!"
After saying this, Wang Weiyi stood at the front of the line...... But soon, Guo Yunfeng and Richthofen stood in front of him again...... Then Anliugues, Tibius, and the Germanic warriors stood further ahead......
Everyone had the same idea, and when the battle began, they would be the first to engage the enemy, rather than let the Archon take the risk.
The Romans finally finished their procession, and then, at the sound of the trumpet, marched majestically.
"Steady—" Wang Weiyi's voice sounded in the ears of all the warriors: "As long as they can hold out until the sun goes down, the Romans will retreat, and their determination to fight is not as stable as before—Germania!" ”
Every Germanic warrior stood there steadily...... They were not afraid of the enemy's mighty forces, and they knew that as long as the Archon was by their side, the final victory would belong to the Germans!
"Steady—"
"Steady—"
Wang Weiyi's throat let out a low call, and he patiently watched the Roman phalanx approach him little by little......
Suddenly, Wang Weiyi's war knife pointed ahead: "German!" Offensive! ”
"Germain - Attack!"
Wild cries came out of the mouths of the Germanic warriors, and those warriors who had been gathering momentum for a long time rushed forward like a torrent that had opened the floodgates!
For the Germans - offense - offense!
Wild call, wild attack, galloping torrent, galloping warrior heart!
They fought bravely in front of the Roman phalanx, and the warriors in the front row fell under the Roman spears, but this did not affect the warriors behind them at all. Stepping on the corpses of their companions, they rushed into the phalanx of the Romans.
They slay their enemies with spears, slash with short swords, and slash with their great axes.
One by one, the warriors let out terrible screams from their mouths, and in the midst of blood, they used their loyalty and faith in this land to maintain the freedom of this land.
This is their land, this is their territory, and no one can take it away from theirs. The Romans can't, no one - no!
This is the Germanic faith! (To be continued......)
