Seven hundred and seventy-one. Attack in the night
"That's probably the case, the uprising of the Saxon League is inevitable at the moment, and it depends on when they do it. According to my estimates, the Saxons will revolt when the Sentumaros corps begins to attack. Guo Yunfeng briefly introduced it and said: "But what I'm strange about is why do you have to insist on not giving them help in the uprising?" It's good for us after all. ”
"Four knives, I am eager to see all the Germanic people revolt, but by no means according to their methods." Wang Weiyi's face was solemn: "The Saxons and their companions, the situation is more special, they have been ruled by the Romans for a longer time, the system is more advanced than our tribes, and there are already nobles and commoners, so if we choose to ally with them, there is a question of who leads whom. The Saxons, with their own systems more advanced than ours, will never willingly accept our command, and so do we. There are many problems with such cooperation...... And ......"
There he was silent: "And I think that they are revolting in such a situation, there is no possibility of success." Their tribe was too close to Gaul, and in the event of an uprising, Sentumaros would feel terror, but what about Caesar? Caesar would never sit idly by and watch such a thing happen, he would quickly deploy troops to suppress it, and because of this, the alliance between us and them is useless! ”
Guo Yunfeng nodded: "Then let them fend for themselves?" ”
"Nope! After all, that was also the strength of the Germanic people. Wang Weiyi replied very resolutely: "In their most difficult time, we must give them help." The strength of the Germanic people must not be lost in vain. However, the situation has to be different...... Four knives, you can do this matter yourself......"
He carefully explained a few things. Guo Yunfeng listened carefully and nodded frequently.
When Wang Weiyi explained everything, Guo Yunfeng completely understood that the Edifier actually had a comprehensive plan for such a thing......
While the Germans were gearing up for a new challenge, Sentumarous's anger was beyond words.
The bridge that had been built with all the painstaking work and seemed to be a success was destroyed in one night. The fire was huge. There is simply no way to extinguish it. All the hard work was completely destroyed in one night at a time.
At dawn, all Sentumaros could see was charred wood floating on the water......
He was exposed and almost yelled out loud. He had put a lot of effort into building the bridge, and now it's all over.
Seeing that Sentumaros's face was so pale, Senadi quietly tugged at the young commander's sleeve: "Don't get excited. Don't get excited about anything. All the people are watching you, and your every move will affect the morale of the soldiers, Archon. ”
Sentumaros took a deep breath, and though he was reluctant, he tried his best to put some smiles on his face, and he shouted to the onlookers, "Look, those cowardly barbarians, they want to stop our progress in this way. They are already timid. No one can stop the Holy Roman Legion, no! Come on. Let's cheer up, lads, and rebuild the bridge, and when we reach the other side, all the barbarians will tremble at the cries of Roman rage! ”
The soldiers erupted in cheers, and their frustration diminished in a moment......
Sentumaros did everything he could to re-energize the soldiers, but his mood was extremely low.
In order to end the war as soon as possible and make his Germania province truly serve him, he already owes Caesar a large sum of money, and now every day means that money is consumed. The conquest of the barbarians one day earlier and one day later meant completely different things for Sentumaros.
But now it's happening again!
If it weren't for Senadi, Sentumaros was sure he would have been completely devastated......
"This is what the enemy wants to see the most." Senadi knew too well what the young commander was thinking: "Anyone can fall, but only you can't, all we consume is some time......"
"And money." Sentumaros was not reconciled.
"Yes, but what does that compare to victory?" Senadi tried to calm the other party's mood: "When the bridge is built again, we can calmly set foot on the land of the barbarians, and at that time, no matter how much you pay, you can make the barbarians repay tenfold or a hundredfold ......"
The persuasion of his subordinates made Sentumaros's mood slightly better. But deep down in his heart, he still regrets that he wants to come to this place.
Otherwise, he is now in Rome, carrying his beautiful wife, enjoying a luxurious banquet together.
Pompey, Pompey, if it weren't for the encouragement of Pompey and those guys in the Senate, he wouldn't have come here.
But it's too late to regret it......
The bridge of Sentumaros was burned, and it was not only the Germanic people who rejoiced, but also Caesar.
Caesar was certain that Sentumaros would not succeed. However, he didn't mean to stop the other party.
Centoumarus had come to snatch his rights, and if he could wipe out his legions by the hands of the barbarians, the only thing Centoumarus could do was to return to Rome in disgrace, and here, he still had the final say.
Moreover, no matter whether Sentumaros wins or loses, he can always consume the strength of the barbarians to a certain extent, and when he restores his strength in the future, he will retaliate against the barbarians again.
It is precisely because of this mentality that Caesar "generously" once again funded Sentumaros. Of course, such funding is definitely not without a price. Sentumaroos is already heavily in debt.
If he could not win the war against the barbarians, then everything he had in Rome would belong entirely to Caesar......
......
A few days later, the bridge was finally built again. This time, Sentumaros did not dare to be careless any longer, and on the day the bridge was built, he could not wait to order the soldiers to cross the Rhine.
Time is so precious to him, every minute and every second. He has to race against the clock to minimize his losses.
He didn't even make much of a stop when he passed through the hordes of barbarians who had submitted to Rome. These damn guys are subordinate to Caesar, not to themselves. Although he sent someone to send them a lot of gifts. But judging from the feedback from the messengers, it seems that they are not very enthusiastic about themselves.
By the time the war was over and Germania was completely its own. Let's give these guys from some tribe a little more look-alike......
A Roman legion, plus an auxiliary legion, made these Romans still look very majestic. Sentumarous's frustration was much better because of this.
While in the camp, the loyal Sennadi took on everything. He sent men to set up a guard around it. And sent a large number of scouts to detect the movements of the barbarians.
Sentumaros doesn't have to worry about such trivial matters at all.
About eleven more reconnaissance teams were sent out, and both Sentumaros and Senadi were convinced that all the information of the barbarians would be gathered before them when the sun rose tomorrow.
But what they didn't know was that a group of ghosts were always swimming around them......
That's Wang Weiyi and his assault team!
Under Guo Yunfeng's careful training, although the ability to fight head-on is not comparable to that of the Romans, the attack ability of the Germanic people has been greatly improved compared with before.
They know how to make the most of the terrain they are familiar with. to carry out a constant raid on the Romans, and break down the enemy's strength little by little.
And those reconnaissance squads of the Romans. That's their first goal......
Wang Weiyi personally joined in such an attack!
He and his team hid in the dark, in the woods, patiently waiting for the arrival of the enemy.
He has used this method countless times. Whether it was the British, the French, or the Japanese, they all suffered greatly under the attack of Baron Skeleton.
And what about these Romans, who have no idea what a special operation is?
In the quiet woods, there was nothing left with the call of night birds.
After a while, a flock of night birds fluttered and flew up, Wang Weiyi quickly made a gesture by the moonlight, and those Germanic warriors quickly entered the combat position.
The night bird became the best sentinel of the Germanic peoples......
Several dark shadows appeared, and they were Roman scouts.
No one did a better job of reconnaissance before the battle than the Romans, and in any battle, they had to give themselves the greatest knowledge of the enemy's strength and disposition. Even in the face of barbarians, a general like Senadi would never let up in the slightest.
One, two, three...... There were five Romans in total.
Wang Weiyi made another gesture, meaning that no one was allowed to go.
The dark shadows cautiously approached, and they did not notice the terrible danger lurking around them.
After entering the ambush circle, a Roman was about to speak, when he suddenly snorted and looked down at his body, where an arrow was piercing through his body.
Then, a dozen figures suddenly appeared from the darkness, and the Romans had no strength to resist......
After just two minutes, four Romans collapsed in a pool of blood, and the remaining one became a prisoner of the Germans.
He shivered as he looked at the fierce savages in front of him, so nervous that he couldn't say anything.
Wang Weiyi glanced at the captive: "What did I ask, what did you answer, do you understand?" ”
The captive nodded hurriedly.
Wang Weiyi carefully inquired about the strength of the Sentumaros Legion, the command at all levels, and the deployment of troops, and the captives only knew a few things.
But even if these few things are pitiful, Wang Weiyi listens very carefully. Sometimes important information often comes out of something insignificant.
When the captive unreservedly told everything he knew, Wang Weiyi nodded: "You shouldn't be a Roman soldier's ......"
The captives have not yet reacted. A cold light flashed, and a head rolled to the side.
Wang Weiyi put away his sword: "Tibius, throw the heads of these captives in front of the Roman barracks!" ”
"Yes, Lord Archon." Tibius had just killed a Roman, and he was still in a state of excitement at this time: "Lord Consul, why don't you directly attack the Roman camp?" ”
"Tibius. Night raids are not so easy to succeed. Wang Weiyi smiled: "Those generals in Rome are not fools, especially since I heard that Senadi is an experienced general, and he is prepared for a possible night attack. He was probably well prepared, and a rash attack would only result in casualties. Tibius, the night attack must be carried out with full control, otherwise it will only be in vain. Be a good commander. You must be responsible for the lives of your subordinates......"
Tibius nodded. He unconditionally trusted everything the Archon said, and he knew that only under the leadership of the Archon could the Germans defeat Rome again and again.
And Wang Weiyi is very optimistic about Tibius, a brave Germanic warrior, who will definitely be able to become a successful commander in the continuous tempering of the war.
And when there are more and more commanders like this, and the Germanic people are more and more united, then it is also time for themselves to leave this era......
......
Throughout the night, the Germanic warriors took advantage of the darkness and the cover of the terrain to attack the Roman reconnaissance squads. And when the dawn came, they did not hesitate. Quickly evacuated the battlefield.
They won't give the Romans any chance to fight back.
When the sun rose as Sentumaros wished, the reconnaissance team he was expecting did not deliver him the information he needed in time.
None of the squad returned.
Sentumaros was a little strange, and at this time Senadi hurriedly walked in, his face very ugly: "Archon, I think you should go outside the barracks to have a look. ”
Sentumaros didn't know what was going on, and when he came outside the barracks, he found a large number of soldiers already gathered there, pointing ahead and whispering.
When they saw their commander appear, the Roman soldiers silently made way for him......
Sentumaros walked through these soldiers, and he finally saw something very terrible:
I don't know when a long wooden stake was erected outside the Roman military camp, and on top of the stump, a large number of heads were hung!
Centoumarus struggled to control his trembling heart and had the stake lowered.
Senadi walked over and looked at it for a while, and when he came back, his face was so ugly: "It's all our people......"
"Are you sure?" Sentumaros still had a bit of luck.
"Yes." Senadi's answer was so difficult: "They were all soldiers whom I had personally selected, and I knew every face, every single one. All of the eleven scouting teams were here, and none of them made it back alive. ”
Sentumaros gasped, and his body involuntarily took a step back.
It's horrible, it's horrible. If one or two squads were attacked, it would be perfectly acceptable. But a whole eleven, a whole eleven squad, not a single one of them made it back alive.
How did these Romans do this?
"We're in big trouble......" Even in this situation, Senadi tried to keep his composure, and said in a voice that only Sentumaros could hear: "The barbarians are by no means as ignorant as we think, they have great organizational skills, and I am sure that there must be a strong commander commanding them to do such things!" ”
"Are you talking about the Demon Three Emissaries?" Sentumaros immediately thought of the name.
Senadi nodded heavily......
As soon as they arrived in Gaul, they had heard the name of the "Three Messengers of the Devil" countless times, and even Caesar's subordinates were so afraid of this name. And the impact of this is that the later troops are also full of deep fear of the name of the "Demon Three Emissaries".
Sentumaros didn't pay attention to it originally, but when he saw the bloody scene in front of him, the words "Demon Three Messengers" naturally appeared in his heart.
Looking at the soldiers, all of them had fear on their faces, they looked at the terrible heads silently, silently muttering in their hearts that they must not let themselves face those damned terrible barbarians.
"Nothing to be afraid of!" Senadi's voice rang out loudly: "What other skills do barbarians have besides burning bridges and attacking?" They dare not face us, they only dare to try to make us afraid in such a despicable way! But they were wrong, the Romans, who would not be cowardly under such an attack, which would only provoke our anger and only make us more courageous into battle! Kill those barbarians! ”
"Kill those barbarians!" Sentumaros cried out.
"Kill those barbarians!" All the Roman soldiers shouted loudly. Although the cry was so loud, Sentumaros and Senardi weren't sure how much of an effect it would have.
At the very least, there was a shadow in the hearts of all Roman soldiers now, and it could have a very important impact if they faced the barbarians on the battlefield! (To be continued......)
