- Aristotle (one of the great philosophers, scientists, and educators in the ancient history of the world)

If the Germanic army that appeared in front of him only shocked the Germanic warriors and Barenas in the city of Badawi; Then the army of unknown forces that appeared in the rear was an existence that surprised both sides.

In Barenas's opinion, how could an army of Gallic barbarians appear in his rear; Isn't the invasion war of the Alesian tribe already lost, and this army that suddenly appeared is not your own reinforcement at all.

In the eyes of the Germanic warriors in the city and the reinforcements led by Arminius, the Gallic army that appeared behind Balenas must have been the reinforcements of the British barbarians; After all, there is not the slightest friendship between the Germanic barbarians and the Gallic barbarians, and there is no other intersection between the two sides except for the life and death of the battle on the battlefield.

Even if this Gallic army was a reinforcement from Balenas, their presence was strange enough; Because the direction in which this army appeared happened to be directly behind the British barbarian army, which was the Belgian region of the British barbarians, could it be that this Gallic army came from the Belgian region? Would the British barbarians really allow the armies of the Gallic barbarians to pass through Belgium?

Atrilius and Richeburgess looked at each other without knowing why, Arminius also had countless questions in his heart; Only Balenas's face became extremely ugly, no matter what the identity of the Gallic army behind him was, it was enough for them to come out of such a position, it seemed that their Belgian region should be more than lucky.

Karabes did not intend to keep the eerie atmosphere on the battlefield any longer, and after ordering Aminos to lead the hoplites and youth troops in a neat battle formation, the forest hunter troops of Falkus also entered the rear protection area of the front battle formation; After that, this tight battle formation began to advance in the direction of the British barbarian army.

At the same time, Itami's cavalry corps also launched a charge against the commander's position in the rear of the British barbarian army at the order of Calabes; Such a scene completely confused the unknown Germanic barbarian leaders, who did not understand what was happening in front of them, and did not understand why this Gallic army, which suddenly appeared, would be the first to attack the British barbarian army.

If you don't understand, you don't understand, the British barbarian army, which was disrupted by the rear army, is the best opportunity for your own army to attack; Arminius immediately gave the order to the generals around him to attack on all fronts, and the 45,000 Germanic barbarian warriors slaughtered the British barbarian army in front of him.

Seeing that the outside of the city was about to be turned into a pot of porridge, the Germanic warriors inside the city naturally could not sit idly by; Especially after Arminius's entire army was thrown into battle, Atrilius and Richeburgess also ordered the soldiers inside the city to open the city gates and launch a full-scale counterattack against the British barbarian army outside the city!

Whether intentionally or unintentionally, the Germanic armies that came on attack only attacked the warriors of the British barbarians, and did not pay attention to the Gallic army, which was also engaged in a battle with the British barbarian army; Itami's cavalry corps also quickly withdrew from the battlefield after completing a charge that completely disrupted the military deployment of the British barbarian army.

This time, it was the First Legion under Calabes who went into battle; With the exception of the slow-moving hoplites and youths, the attacks of the forest hunters were severely restrained. All areas caught in the melee, whether it was the scuffle between the First Legion and the British barbarians, or the Germanic barbarians and the British barbarians, were strictly forbidden to attack by Calabes.

Because the number of troops on the battlefield directly exceeded 100,000, the entire battlefield was unusually large; Almost the entire open space outside Badawi City became a battlefield, bloody battles unfolding in every clearing, and the chaotic fighting almost made it impossible for the forest hunters to find a safe and bold salvo area.

In fact, it was only after thirteen rounds of arrows were fired before the engagement, that the Forest Hunters never had a chance to use the rain of arrows to attack the enemy; The chaotic battle has turned the entire battlefield into a pot of porridge, and the only way to distinguish between the three parties fighting each other is to rely on the color of the military uniform to distinguish between friend and foe.

The British barbarian army, dressed in blue uniforms, became the target of a joint attack by the Germanic barbarian army in dark red uniforms and the Karabes army in dark green uniforms; However, the Germanic barbarian army and the army of Calabes, under the common enemy of the British barbarians, tacitly maintained mutual non-interference.

The reason why Carabes's army used dark green uniforms instead of the red uniforms of the Julius family was because Carabes's army was mainly composed of Gallic barbarian warriors, and the Gallic barbarians were a people who admired the color green; In addition, fighting in the jungle-covered land of Gaul, the green uniform was conducive to the concealment of the army's actions, so Calabes also used green as the color of the uniform.

However, the armies of the Gallic barbarians also used green as the color of the warriors' uniforms; In order to distinguish himself from the enemy on the battlefield, Calabes used a dark green color that was different from the pale green of the Gallic barbarian army, which gave rise to the color of the uniform of Calabes' army.

The British barbarian army, which was only about 35,000, was caught in the attack of Arminius's 50,000 Germanic army and the 30,000 Germanic army in Badawi, plus the 13,000 army that Calabis put into battle, that was nearly 100,000 troops.

Faced with an enemy nearly three times his size, Barenas's British barbarian army, no matter how elite it was, was powerless; You must know that the 13,000 troops of Calabes are all elite divisions, and the 10,000 Damu tribe warriors and 5,000 Gothic cavalry under Arminius are also elite troops that can be counted by the entire Germanic barbarians.

The combined attack of these two armies alone is not something that the British barbarians can easily contend with; Not to mention the siege of nearly 100,000 troops, including these two armies, defeat was only a matter of time for Balenas.

In order to prevent Barenus from escaping the battlefield, Itami's cavalry corps roamed the edge of the battlefield after completing any charge, preventing any British barbarian warriors from escaping; And the Gothic cavalry of Langadis, after completely annihilating the chariot troops of the British barbarians, was also on guard in the outer areas of the battlefield, ready to clear out those enemies who wanted to escape.

Itami and Langadis didn't communicate in any way, but they tacitly divided the edge of the battlefield into two areas; The east and north sides of Badawi City became the patrol area of Langadis's Gothic cavalry, while the west and inevitable side of Badawi City became the area guarded by Itami's cavalry legions.

Under the combined strangulation of the Germanic barbarian army and the army of Calabes, in three hours, the 35,000-strong army of Barenas paid the price of nearly 20,000 casualties; The armies of the Germanic barbarians also paid a very heavy price, especially the warriors who volunteered to join the battle in the lower Germanic regions, and their lack of experience became their fatal weakness on the battlefield.

The battle-hardened British barbarian warriors made the Germanic barbarian warriors who had just entered the battlefield understand what the real bloody battle was; Even so, the elite troops of the Germanic barbarian army and the soldiers of the First Legion, who were fierce in battle, also made the British barbarian army understand what they had to pay for it!

If it weren't for the fierce and unusual head-throwers under the command of Barenas, who fought desperately to the death in an extremely cruel and bloody way, the remaining British barbarian army would have collapsed on all fronts; Even with the fight of these headers, it was only a temporary stabilization of the morale of the British barbarian army that was about to collapse, and it was impossible to save their defeat.

As time went on and the battle intensified, these murderous headers were soon drowned in the sea of Germanic warriors; The last remaining are the most powerful British warriors and elite British warriors among the British barbarians.

All the other British warriors and totemic warriors who were slightly less effective in combat were dead and wounded, and even the personal guards of Barenus himself had all been thrown into battle and exhausted; And Balenas has also become a member of the British barbarian army who is fighting desperately, and the appearance of his cloak makes it impossible to imagine how confident he was yesterday.

More and more Germanic warriors rushed to Barenas, trying to kill the supreme commander of the British barbarian army, but they were repelled by the British warriors who were loyal to Barenas; After repelling more than a dozen such attacks in a row, these elite British warriors finally gave up their resistance and planned to escort Barenas from the battlefield.

An assault group of hundreds of the most elite British warriors broke through the desperate attacks of countless Germanic warriors at all costs, escorting Barenas to the periphery of the battlefield; Just as they were about to be killed and wounded, but they also managed to escort Barenas to the edge of the battlefield, the cavalry of Itami and Langadis were killed at the same time!

The elite Gallic cavalry of Calabis was not comparable to the most elite Gothic cavalry of the Germanic barbarians, and when Itami's cavalry charged the right flank of the British warriors, Langadis himself had already led the Gothic cavalry to directly defeat the left flank of the British warriors, and successfully killed Balenas on the spot!

When the head of Balenas was raised on the battlefield by Langadis with a mounted spear, the British barbarian army, which was less than 5,000 men, finally lost all will to fight; In the sea of Germanic warriors, they laid down their weapons and chose to end the battle, which was doomed from the beginning, by surrender.
