Seven hundred seventy-five. The Great Uprising of Failure

An uprising is quietly underway.

The Saxons, Lombards, Cherushi and Dunktre, had no doubt about the success of the uprising. They firmly believed that under the wise leadership of Heilmann, the uprising would succeed.

It's exactly the same as Heilmann's confidence in himself.

Night fell quietly in the Saxon camp, and every Saxon man, woman, and child was ready.

They quietly appeared, quietly gathered together, and each of their eyes was staring at their leader:

Great and wise Herman!

Heilman's voice rang in their ears: "My warriors, my people, the day we have been waiting for has finally come. A few years ago, the Romans suddenly appeared, seized our land, robbed our people, and imposed heavy taxes on us. We are patient, not that we are cowardly, but that we are waiting for an opportunity to defeat the Romans and restore our freedom! And now, that opportunity has arrived! With the help of the gods, the legions of Sencomaros were defeated, and we were left with one of our strongest enemies......"

He deliberately blamed the gods for the defeat of Sentumaros, because rumors of the magical power of the demon messenger had spread among the Saxons in the shortest possible time, and many people began to talk about the Germanic alliance and the great power they possessed.

Heilman must minimize this influence: "The gods will still help us to win victory after victory, and no one can stop our desire for freedom." No! Tonight, the Romans will see our might, and the Romans will tremble under our strength - for freedom! ”

"For freedom!" Every Saxon burst out with such a cry.

"For freedom!" Heilmann shouted again without hesitation: "Go and kill all those Romans!" ”

In his chanting. The Germanic revolt finally broke out on this night!

Countless Saxons organized themselves and slaughtered the Romans.

There were less than 200 Roman soldiers there, and they were perfectly sure that they would kill them all in the shortest possible time!

But when they arrived, they were surprised to find that the Romans didn't even have a single guard!

They rushed in, but the Roman camp was silent and there was no sound at all.

What about the Romans? Where did the Romans go? The Saxons searched every inch, but found no trace of the Romans.

A sense of foreboding was rising in Heilman's mind......

"Chief. Chieftain! Sarders hurried over: "We haven't found Turnadus, and no one knows where he's gone!" ”

Tenadus, who was still telling them the story of Eros, yesterday, is also missing!

What's going on? The Saxons looked at each other, and then at this time. On their periphery, a large field of torches lit up, followed by the sound of countless Roman soldiers tapping their shields.

A large number of Roman soldiers appeared around them!

Heilman's mind was dizzy, and their plan for an uprising had been leaked!

The Roman soldiers tapped their shields as if demonstratively. And then. Under the orders of the generals, they neatly stopped the movements of their hands, and then, a voice came clearly to the ears of the Saxons:

"Despicable barbarians, perfidious Saxons, you have betrayed the trust of the great Caesar, and you want to betray Rome and kill the noble Roman soldiers. Right now. You have failed, on the orders of Caesar, governor of the province of Gaul. I command you to lay down your arms and be judged by Roman justice! ”

That's Turnadus' voice!

Heilman's anger was utterly indescribable, and he cried out in a furious voice: "Turnadus, I swear, if I can catch you, I will peel you from the top of your head to the soles of your feet, I swear!" ”

Turnadus laughed out loud: "O stupid barbarian, do you really think it is possible to succeed? The venerable commander Gaius has brought an entire legion, and your end is soon approaching! ”

As soon as his words fell, Gaius's majestic voice came again: "Barbarians refuse to surrender, soldiers of the Roman Republic, destroy them, tell them the fate of betraying Rome!" ”

Under his orders, the Roman soldiers began to advance in order.

A battle that was not at all evenly matched broke out here......

Not only were the Saxons numerically inferior, but the weapons they used were completely incomparable to the sophisticated equipment of the Romans.

Some of them kept falling, and some of them were dying.

The cries of sorrow kept ringing, and one life after another disappeared on this battlefield.

Heilman did not want such a fate for himself and his people, and fought as hard as one of the bravest warriors. As long as there is still a slight possibility, he will definitely not give up.

But the Romans were too much for them, and the strength of the two sides was too far apart.

No matter how hard the Saxons tried, they inevitably fell one after another, and in a short time a large number of corpses had appeared around them.

"Chief, we're about to be surrounded!" Selders' cries were heard.

This made Heilman stop what he was doing...... Yes, under the brutal attacks of the Romans, the Saxons could no longer withstand their ferocious attacks, a large number of Saxons were falling hopelessly, and the encirclement of the Romans was shrinking smaller and smaller.

He gritted his teeth: "Retreat, retreat into the woods!" ”

The Saxons began to retreat, and this aroused the cheers of the Romans, who did not want to give up such a great opportunity, and the backward Saxons were soon slaughtered by the Roman soldiers.

Gaius looked at the battlefield with satisfaction, and Tenadus said flatteringly, "Your Excellency. Congratulations on another great victory in the unit. ”

"It's nothing." Gaius hid his pride: "We haven't killed all these barbarians, and we haven't really won yet." ”

"But they have nowhere to run." Tenadus smiled and said, "I have been in the territory of the barbarians for a long time, and I already know everything about them. They don't care where they go. I have a way of finding them, my esteemed Archon. ”

Gaius nodded, and the pawn that Caesar had arranged for a long time among the barbarians was finally about to play a huge role......

......

The sun shone in the woods, but for the Saxons it smelled of blood.

In yesterday's battle, although they managed to break through successfully, they lost a large number of their people. Those brave warriors died under the butcher's knife of the Romans. Almost half of the old men, men, and women did not have time to escape, and they all became prisoners of the Romans.

Among them was Sardus's wife, Hasnia......

All the Saxons did not say a word, they silently licked their wounds. Silently savoring the bitterness of failure.

Heilman stared at his people, and his heart ached. He hated the Romans as much as he hated himself. He ignored Tenadus, and he didn't see the Romans at all. He thought he just had to raise his arms and breathe. The Romans would have fled in a hurry.

But now the one who fled in a hurry has become himself......

He must be responsible for all this!

"The leader of Uir and his warriors are back!"

When he heard this voice, Heilman hurried out of the way, but when he saw the sight, he was stunned.

Uyl brought back only 20 fighters, and even he himself was wounded. As soon as he saw Heilmann, Uyle choked up: "As soon as we arrived, we were ambushed by the Romans. We fought as hard as we could, but 300 warriors. There are only a few of the 300 warriors left......"

His eyes were red, and all the people, even if they weren't personally involved, knew what terrible fate had befallen Uyr and his warriors at night.

"The Romans were prepared, they discovered our plot." Ouil exclaimed, "My people must have been attacked, too. Heilman, what are they going to do? ”

What should they do? Heilman had no idea how to answer......

"The Lombardians are coming."

"The Cherusis are coming."

"Dunkt's tired people are here too."

One by one, the voices kept ringing.

People from several tribes who participated in the uprising at the same time arrived.

It was a pre-agreement that they would come here to meet if the uprising failed, but this was just an idea, and Heilman never imagined that he would actually encounter such a situation before the uprising.

The people of several tribes were willing to join the Saxons, and they threw away their armor, and many were wounded.

Keruman told Heilmann that they had been surrounded by the Romans at the beginning of the uprising. The only good thing was that the Romans focused their efforts on the main leaders of the uprising, Hermann and the Saxons, so their breakthrough was not particularly difficult. Not only that, but the Lombardians also desperately rescued a large number of Dunktor.

Seeing his own people appear, Uyle was finally relieved......

But what about the future? The revolt had failed, and around them there were Romans......

"Not good!" Heilmann suddenly cried out, "The Romans deliberately let you escape. Tenadus knew everything about us, and knew that we would assemble here, and the Romans did this to surround us and destroy us! ”

Heilman was right, but he came to his senses too late......

The Roman army completely surrounded the place......

Heilmann's hopes were completely dashed, and now the initiative was in the hands of the Romans, who could launch the most ferocious and late attacks on the Germans at any time and at any time......

Heilman summoned his companions to his side, and told them all about the situation without concealment. Then he said in a sad tone, "I have to take responsibility for this situation." Although the Romans have completed the siege of us, we still have a chance to break through, and the west will be our last hope. To make amends for my faults. I will lead the Saxons in the front line and tear a gap for you. And you, my friends, take your people out of thence......"

"What about after you rush out of the city? Where do we go? Adler asked helplessly: "There are Romans everywhere, Caesar will definitely not let us go, the crazy strangulation has just begun." ”

Heilmann was silent for a moment: "Go to the Germanic Alliance!" ”

His gaze slowly scanned over his companions, "Now they are our last hopes." I plead with the merciful gods to make the Germanic League forget my hubris. I beseech the Almighty God to inflict all the suffering on me alone. ”

The Germanic alliance has become the last hope of these Germanic people......

The Germanic breakout began......

Heilman did not betray his promises. He, along with his Saxons, fought at the forefront.

They must do everything possible to fight their way for their fellow citizens. They must use their own blood to atone for their misjudgments.

But where was it so easy for the Romans to break through their defensive positions? Heilman and his warriors fought again and again. But again and again they were repulsed by the Romans.

But the fierce blood of the Germanic people boiled in the bodies of these Saxons. They are not willing to throw in the towel. They must fight to the end, for the sake of their fellow citizens, for their own dead and captured people.

They finally fought their way into the Romans, and were soon surrounded by the Romans. They fought silently, and the shouts could not be heard from their mouths here.

They have only one goal: to fight their way out for the people of other tribes, even if they die!

Gaius looked at the battlefield coldly, and he knew that all these barbarians were going to be finished......

"Your Excellency, you have a friend who wants to see you at once."

"My friend?" When he heard this report, Gaius's brow furrowed: "Bring him here." ”

When his "friends" appeared in front of him. He only whispered, "I was sent by Ernst." ”

Gaius was taken aback: "What did he ask you to do?" ”

"Let them go."

"Let them go? Caesar asked, "What should I do?" ”

"You have done a great deal of great things, and Caesar should be satisfied. And. Ernst will cooperate with you. And he told you that he would give you more benefits, and Caesar would never be suspicious. ”

Gaius nodded, he absolutely believed in Ernst's abilities.

Before he could fully make up his mind, countless shouts suddenly rang out from the side of the Roman legions.

"The barbarians have attacked on our flank!" Dachius hurried over and said.

Gaius knew that Ernst had arranged all this, and he quickly gave his own order: "Dachius, lead your men to hold back the enemy's attack, the barbarians in front of us are already vulnerable!" ”

Glancing at the stranger beside Gaius, Dachius immediately understood something: "Yes, Lord Archon, I will withdraw my frontal defenses to resist the barbarians' sneak attack on us. ”

Unaware of the imminent changes in the battlefield, Herman and his Saxons are still fighting.

They've killed too many people, but they don't care at all......

Suddenly, Heilman's body was stabbed by a short sword, and he roared, slashing the Roman soldier to death, then staggered and finally fell to the ground unable to hold on.

"Chief, chief!" Screaming loudly, Seldes ran over and hugged Heilmann.

"Can't you rush out?" Heilman looked around.

"I can't rush out, there are too many Romans." Sarders replied to his leader with grief.

"yes, we can't make it out......" Heilman sighed, "Seldes, I'm sorry for you, I let you lose Hesinia." ”

"Chief, my wife and I once said that we are willing to fight for you, and we are equally willing to die for you!" Selders' tears flowed uncontrollably.

Heilman smiled reluctantly: "Thank you, Seldes, although we failed this time, someone will avenge us one day." ”

"The Romans retreated, the Romans retreated!"

At this moment, there was a sudden cheer around.

Heilmann was shocked to see that the Romans were actually beginning to retreat. Although he didn't know what was going on, he quickly said, "Quick, quick, Seldes, signal to them, break through!" ”

The signal was given, and Sylders turned around and said, "Chief, go, I'll carry you out of here!" ”

"No!" Heilman rejected the kindness of his subordinates: "I can't do it, the Roman dagger pierced my body, and he will be a drag on you." ”

"I don't care, I don't care!" Seldes shouted, "I won't leave you alone no matter what." ”

"Listen to me, Selders." Herman's voice gradually became weaker: "You have more important things to do alive, you will become the new leader of the Saxons, and you will lead all the Saxons to continue the fight and avenge those who died!" ”

Seldes silently looked at his leader, tears uncontrollably streaming down the corners of his eyes!

He let go of Heilman, knowing that he had more important things to do, and that there were countless hatreds waiting to be washed away.

For the sake of all his clansmen, he had to force himself to let go of something that he would never let go of anyway! (To be continued......)
