Seven hundred seventy-two. Chase and escape

The constant attacks annoyed Sentumaros to the extreme.

His 15th Corps, in just two days, had already lost more than 100 fighters. Although such a loss was completely acceptable to him, the psychological blow to the soldiers was very serious.

For the past two days, as corpses appeared, the Roman soldiers kept whispering about the terrible barbarians, fearing that they would become the same corpses when they would become the same.

Even more frustrating was the fact that they simply couldn't spot the shadows of those attackers.

This is the most worrying thing, but neither Sentoumarus nor Senadi can solve the situation. The only thing Senadi could do was to send as many soldiers on patrol as possible, to be on higher alert, and to strictly prohibit soldiers from acting alone.

And, what he wanted most of all now was for the soldiers to be able to fight the barbarians at once......

He was a traditional Roman general who never liked sneak attacks, preferring instead to engage the enemy head-on. But the barbarians don't seem to have any such intentions.

As for Sentumaros, the mood is even heavier. When he left Rome, he was full of hope for the future, believing that as soon as he appeared, the conquest of the barbarians would soon be over. But things turned out not at all as he had imagined.

Caesar's hostility, the barbarian attack...... Everything made him so passive.

He misses the city of Rome, he misses Singaroa, he misses everything he once had. But. These were so far away from him at this time.

Damn war, damn barbarians......

He could even imagine that Caesar was probably happy to see his jokes at this time, right?

However, just when Sentumaros was distraught. The good news reached his ears at once, and the vanguard troops had discovered the traces of the barbarians!

The news immediately lifted Sentumaros' spirits.

He is not afraid to confront the enemy head-on, but he is already extremely irritated by the endless attacks!

Senadi's spirit was also mobilized, and Sentumaros gave him the authority to command the troops, so without the consent of the commander-in-chief, he immediately called up a brigade of strength and ordered that the barbarians must be bitten to the death!

The morale of the entire Fifteenth Army Corps was also mobilized. Like their commanders-in-chief, they are not afraid of a head-to-head confrontation with the enemy, but they are tired of attacks that do not stop at all.

Right now. The chance for a decisive battle is finally coming......

The forward forces did not live up to Sentumaros's expectations, and they stopped the barbarians in the Elta plain, and skirmishes broke out between the two sides.

At the same time, a large number of barbarians also began to reinforce the Elta plain. Finally, on the second day, the two sides formed a standoff.

Sentumaros and Senadi. Without wasting any time, they arrived with the main forces of the Roman legions!

When they saw the black barbarians on the opposite side, instead of being afraid, they couldn't help but cheer. This is what they have been waiting for for a long time: a head-to-head showdown, a head-to-head showdown!

Sentumaros could even see the barbarians moaning in front of the spears of the gradual legion......

"Attack, Senadi!" Sentumaros said impatiently.

"No, Archon, now is not the time." Even in a state of ecstasy. Senadi did not lose his composure: "Our formation has not yet been formed, we have to wait another day. ”

"What if the barbarians escape?" Sentumaros asked, worried.

"Nope. They won't run away. Senardi was very sure of his judgment: "If you look at their formation, they are clearly preparing for a decisive battle with us." Your Excellency, the more important it is at this time to remain calm, otherwise it will bring about an unpredictable and terrible situation. ”

Sentumaros still has a lot of trust in Senana, and even has some attachment, he knows that Senardi is much stronger than himself in judging the situation on the battlefield or reacting on the battlefield.

If you want to win, you must rely on this absolutely loyal subordinate!

Sentumaros calmed down and decided to leave all decisions on the battlefield to Senadi.

Senadi was not wrong in his judgment, the Germanic people who appeared on the battlefield did not want to flee at all. However, they also did not want to fight here.

Leading these Germanic warriors are two of the "Demon Three": Ernst and Richthofen!

When the Roman legions appeared, Wang Weiyi's previous judgment was that they would be eager to attack, but he was slightly surprised to find that the Romans did not do this, but established a defensive line very solidly, and then waited for the formation to unfold.

"Probably Senadi is going to do this......" Wang Weiyi made his own judgment: "There are still many excellent generals in the Roman army, and they are completely likely to win, and any slightest negligence will cause us a very passive situation." ”

"However, they would never have imagined that you had dug a big trap waiting for them to take the bait." Richthofen said with a smile.

Wang Weiyi also smiled faintly: "Some strategies that look ordinary in the future will have a surprising effect in this era, because they have never seen such a combat method." ”

When this sentence was spoken, Wang Weiyi was ready, and so were all the Germanic people......

For a whole night, the Senardiens and the Roman soldiers were in a state of high tension, and now the barbarians were on the opposite side, fearing that a new attack would happen here again.

However, it seems that their worries were clearly overwhelmed, and at night the Germans did not make any move. They seem to have lost interest in carrying out the attack.

When the day finally came, Senady's heart relaxed. Once the night is gone, the whole battlefield will be under the control of the Romans!

The formation of the Roman legions was fully expanded, and the phalanxes looked so neat and majestic.

The face of every Roman general and soldier was full of solemnity. No one was more eager for the coming war than they were, and they had to put an end to the conquest of Germania with a hearty war.

Moreover, in addition to being loyal to the country, they are more eager to earn a lot of wealth in the war.

Now, such an opportunity is placed in front of him......

Senadi's hand raised, and then. A whimpering horn sounded over the empty plains.

The Roman phalanx began to move!

Roman soldiers with spears or short swords pressed forward neatly under the protection of their shields. These soldiers had just entered the territory of the barbarians for a short time, although they had heard countless times before that the barbarians were powerful. But they never really saw it.

And now, they saw that the barbarians were just as solemn, and they could not see the slightest panic in the face of the Del Romans who were getting closer and closer.

And even more surprising to Senadi. It was the barbarians who actually had their own formation. Instead of rushing forward in a disorderly manner, as in the legend, once the battle broke out.

Is the previous information wrong, or are the barbarians changing themselves?

I couldn't wait for Senardi to think about it, and the dense rain of arrows had already fallen overwhelmingly.

The Roman soldiers raised their shields to keep the arrows from falling on them, but there were gaps, and Roman soldiers kept screaming and falling.

But these Roman soldiers. Still trying their best to move forward......

Under the constant blows of the barbarians, the Roman phalanx finally approached within their comfortable attack range. The shields quickly moved away, and a large number of javelinmen appeared, and javelins flew out.

Now it was the turn of the Germanic people to fend off the attacks from the enemy.

Something surprising happened, behind the barbarian ranks, suddenly a large number of shield soldiers also appeared.

Huge shields, which offset the damage to the greatest extent, and the shields they used were even larger and stronger than the shields of the Romans.

Senadi's brow furrowed tightly...... The barbarians are learning the advanced tactics of the Romans......

In fact, he didn't know that the Germans didn't need to learn any tactics from the Romans, and among them, there were a few people from another time and space who were far ahead of the Romans.

The giant shield is just a small trick in it.

Under the constant blows of bows and arrows and javelins on both sides, the distance between the two sides is constantly approaching......

Wang Weiyi touched the skull mask on his face, and then raised his hand.

A huge battle flag began to appear on the battlefield:

Skeleton Battle Banner!

When his hand fell, the battle flag was waved with it, and then, the call sounded all over the mountains:

"For Germain!"

- For Germain!

The barbarians roared and rushed forward, and this time, their innate warrior nature finally broke out on the battlefield!

"Rome—" Senadi drew his short sword, "For Rome!" ”

- For Rome!

The Roman soldiers, satisfied, were intimidated by the barbarians' momentum, and they continued to advance step by step with their weapons in hand.

The barbarians rushed up, and the Roman shieldmen quickly half-crouched down and blocked the barbarians' attacks with the shields in their hands. Then, a large number of spears stretched out from behind the shield and stabbed straight out.

The front row of barbarians fell, but trampling on their corpses, more barbarians rushed up.

A great battle broke out on the plains under such circumstances......

The barbarians roared and shouted, slashing and slashing their enemies with their weapons. The Romans were also whistling and shouting, stabbing their enemies with their weapons.

This is a battlefield for the strong, and any cowardly person has no chance of surviving here!

And among all these warriors, the most eye-catching is undoubtedly the one with the skull mask and the Vulcan mask.

Like two madmen, they kept killing Roman warriors one by one under their own weapons. Blood splattered around them, and screams rang out around them.

Right now. The Romans, who were fighting the barbarians for the first time, could finally tell the truth:

They are messengers sent by the devil!

They have survived the name of the Demon Messenger countless times, but when they really see it on the battlefield for the first time, they can truly feel the horror of the Demon Messenger!

The combination of a sword and a short sword. It's so perfect, the demon messenger can deftly assassinate enemies, and can also constantly protect them.

There were only two of them, but they were like an impregnable fortress that could not be breached......

And beside them were the barbarian warriors who were also valiant, like beasts, who did not hide their emotions in the slightest. Shouting loudly, howling loudly, and looking hard at all the targets in front of you.

So it was with Anliugues, so it was with Tibius. This was true of every Germanic warrior......

However, Senardi probably would never have imagined that there were only three tribes of the Germanic Alliance fighting on the battlefield.

And that's not all the warriors in these three tribes!

If there were more of them, I am afraid that their own legions would not take advantage of it today. This thought arose in Senadi's heart.

He had to admit it. The barbarians were far braver than their own soldiers. Even less afraid of the threat of death.

There seems to be some faith in their hearts, and they are driven by such a belief that they completely ignore all fears!

These barbarians must be completely defeated......

Not long after the start of the war, Senardi quickly invested his reserves, and at the same time ordered the auxiliary legions to be ready for battle!

The skeletal battle flag on the battlefield suddenly waved from side to side again, as if giving some order, and the barbarians soon showed signs of retreating.

"Surround them!" Sennady gave such an order in a loud voice.

However, there was not much time left for him!

The barbarians behaved very consistently. There is no such casualness as it did on the battlefield in the past.

As soon as the command of the Skull Banner was given, the barbarians quickly began to retreat. Germanic warriors in the innermost circle. He also served as a warrior to stop the Romans at the first time.

And among them, including Wang Weiyi and Richthofen!

The rapid retreat of the Germans was much more than Senadi had expected, and he conceived that the barbarians would not give up so easily when there was no point in victory.

But that's the reality!

Under the frenzied attacks of the barbarians, the Germans quickly broke out of the encirclement, and the Romans had no chance of closing the siege at all......

The battle would end in such a way that the Romans did not expect it at all.

"Chase!" Senadier coldly gave such an order.

In any case, at least here he defeated the barbarians, and did what Caesar could not do, and that alone was enough to make him proud.

The same goes for Sentumarous!

He even imagined that it would be even more perfect if Caesar had witnessed the victory he had created here!

"Lord Archon, the barbarians have retreated, and I have given the order to pursue!" Senadier came to him and said.

"Barbarians don't fight at all, and God knows how Caesar was defeated by barbarians again and again." At this time, Sentumaros was full of pride: "Senadi, the wisest general of Rome, take our brave soldiers to completely conquer those barbarians!" ”

"Yes, my esteemed commander-in-chief, Archon." Senadi said respectfully.

Now, no Roman would doubt their impending victory anymore.

Those Germanic people who retreated, the speed of retreat was very strange.

When the Romans approached them, they quickly took advantage of their lightness and familiarity with the terrain to get away quickly. And when the distance is widened, they slow down their pace.

The Roman legions pursued for a whole day, always seeing the barbarians in front, but always a little short of catching up.

But Senadi was not so worried, he knew that although he was always a little worse, sooner or later the barbarians would be wiped out by himself.

When night came, Senadi ordered the Roman legions to halt their pursuit and keep a close watch on the barbarians.

To his surprise, the barbarians actually stopped running away and rested not far from the Romans.

What are the barbarians doing? Are they tired too? This was probably the only judgment Sennadi could make......

After daybreak, as the Roman legions prepared to attack, the barbarians fled first.

And at noon that day, the barbarians even stopped and fought another battle with the Romans. But the Roman soldiers, who had grown in confidence, once again repelled the provocations of the barbarians.

What a strange bunch of savages...... Senadi shook his head helplessly......

As the pursuit progressed, the surrounding terrain began to change, with open plains gradually disappearing in favor of dense forests and complex terrain.

When the third day came, Senadi and his Roman legions entered a more complex terrain:

The surrounding mountains gradually increased, but Senadi still had nothing to worry about.

In his opinion, the barbarians had been cornered by themselves, and at most this afternoon, the mighty Roman legions would be able to successfully pursue the barbarians.

He also made such a promise to Sentumaros that the glory of killing the leader of the barbarians would definitely be done by Sentumaros.

Sentumaros was fully confident that his men could do it, and he had even seen that moment of glory coming.

He would stand on the corpse of the barbarian, and the cheers of the Roman soldiers, wave after wave, the best honor poured on him with the blood and life of the barbarian.

Then, on the day of triumph, the craziest and most fervent cheers of the citizens of Rome! (To be continued......)
