In any case, I first identify a principle that I think is the soundest, and then set that whatever appears to conform to this principle, whether in cause or otherwise, is true; Anything that doesn't fit is not true. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

- Socrates (famous ancient Greek thinker, philosopher, and educator)

When Karabes was deployed, he did not immediately allow the hoplites and youth to enter the ambush, nor did Brigo's Fourth Army enter the jungle; Before Itami returned, the ambush battle had not officially begun.

It was only after two days had passed that Itami's cavalry had returned from the jungle; Looking at the Third Legion, which had obviously lost hundreds of cavalry, Karabeth patiently listened to Itami's report and learned of the special situation of the Rimon tribe's army.

Compared to Itami's uncertainty, Karabes probably guessed what was going on with the army of the Rimon tribe after hearing Itami's description; It's nothing more than a murder with a knife, or a conspiracy without technical content, which is not worth mentioning at all.

However, such a thing also gave Carabes another opportunity; Since the Rimon tribe is using the method of borrowing a knife to kill people against those other tribes, why can't they make good use of this opportunity to recruit those people from those tribes, big and small?

Originally, Carabis still felt that this war would end with a life-and-death ending, but according to the current situation, he still has a chance to complete this war plan at the smallest possible cost; Of course, if you want to do other things, the first premise is to win the war, and only if you win the war can you be qualified to do the next thing, and the loser is not qualified to say this.

Knowing this, Calabis asked Itami's cavalry to keep a close eye on the movements of the Rimon tribe army; As soon as the army of the Rimon tribe approached within ten miles of the decisive battle, the army of Calabis was to move in full.

After another day had passed, the army of the Rimon tribe slowly entered within twenty miles of the decisive battle; In order to ensure that Brigo's Fourth Legion would not be discovered by the troops of the Rimon tribe, Calabis immediately sent Brigo's legion out.

When the army of the Rimon tribe was only ten miles away from the decisive battle, Calabis sent out three thousand hoplites and four thousand youth troops of the First Legion; He himself went into the woods in the rear with the rest of his soldiers.

Brigo's Fourth Legion had to wait for the order of Calabes' herald cavalry before attacking; On the other hand, Tursus's hoplites and Allah's youth army had to wait for the Rimon tribal army to pass through the meadow first, enter the forest behind the meadow, and be driven out of the forest before they could attack.

Until the army of the Rimon tribe had not entered the forest and had been driven back, Tursus and Allah could not lead their forces to attack the army of the Rimon tribe; Even if the army of the Rimon tribe passed by in front of their eyes, they must watch and never act rashly, this is also Karabes's order!

When Calabis himself led his army into the forest behind the meadow, he asked Itami to divide his cavalry in two again; They were ambushed five hundred meters away from the left and right flanks of Carabes's central army, which consisted of three thousand forest hunters under the command of Falkus and Grace's army of war mastiffs.

The ambush site in the forest is only three miles away from the junction between the forest and the meadow; That is, the army of the Rimon tribe only needs about half of the army to enter the forest, and the battle will break out.

Grace's mastiff army is the absolute main force of the forest ambush in the hands of Karabes, and with the assistance of three thousand forest hunters, Karabes has absolute confidence to defeat all the Limon tribal armies that entered the forest in one fell swoop!

After a period of recuperation, Grace's mastiff army had already completed the task assigned to them by Carabes, and six hundred and twenty-five war mastiff trainers were successfully cultivated and five brigades of war mastiff troops were formed.

And the number of domesticated war mastiffs raised by each mastiff trainer is as much as ten, that is to say, the war mastiff army now has a full six thousand two hundred and fifty war mastiffs; This is not a small number, if such a large-scale war mastiff is dispatched at one time, it is definitely an extremely powerful force, and it is also a terrifying and terrifying existence!

A war mastiff may not be comparable to a powerful Gallic warrior; In actual combat, it was not impossible for a Gallic warrior to kill two mastiffs at the same time. However, this time Calabes's command is a full 6,250 mastiffs!

The price that the army of the Rimon tribe needs to pay if it wants to completely annihilate these 6,250 war mastiffs is not at all imaginable by anyone; Especially those who are torn apart by the war mastiff, the psychological fear brought to other people is unimaginable to ordinary people.

Coupled with the special terrain of the forest area and the cooperation of forest hunters with unparalleled attack power, there is no possibility of victory at all when entering the army of the Rimon tribe in the forest; Even, even the possibility of fighting to the death is extremely low!

The march of the Rimon tribe was not slow, but it was much better than the initial defenselessness; In front of the dense crowd of warriors, it was the cavalry of the commander of the regiment of Grassoblin who patrolled around to prevent another enemy attack.

Although after the last sneak attack, the army of the Rimon tribe had been extremely vigilant on the previous march along the way; But when they were about to get out of the jungle, everyone's vigilance inevitably slackened a little, after all, the grass ahead was not suitable for ambush.

In fact, after the army entered the meadow, it did not encounter any sneak attacks, nor did it detect a trace of the enemy; However, this was only passing through the meadows, and before entering the forest, the army of the Rimon tribe sent out patrol cavalry.

In the army of the Rimon tribe this time, the cavalry strength was not very large, only about 6,000; One thousand of them are still the most elite Gallic noble cavalry of the Rimon tribe, which belongs to the command of the ace legion of Vaktiza, and the cavalry corps of Glasobrin is only 5,000 ordinary Gallic cavalry, and the combat effectiveness is not very strong.

It was these five thousand Gallic cavalry, which were now divided into ten patrols, each with five hundred cavalry, which were responsible for patrolling in turn in the front and on the left and right flanks of the army; It was one of the patrols that was in charge of entering the forest to reconnoitre.

The three thousand forest hunters of Phorkus were now waiting in battle on the path of the Rimon tribe, while to their right and left were the two thousand Gallic warriors and two thousand Gallic fanatics of the mastiff legion led by Calabis himself; As for the five brigades of mastiff troops, they were led by Grace and ambushed in the forest not far away.

The biggest disadvantage of the mastiff army is that the movement is too large, and those domesticated mastiffs have unparalleled combat effectiveness and bloodthirsty desires; At the same time, they also have a temperamental personality, and even when they are appeased by their tamers, they often roar incessantly.

In order to ensure that the traces of the war mastiff troops were not discovered by the army of the Rimon tribe in advance, Carabis had to let Grace hide in the depths of the forest with five large groups of war mastiff troops; After all, many people in the Rimon tribe have seen the powerful combat effectiveness of the war mastiff troops, and once they perceive the existence of the war mastiff troops, they are likely to give up entering the forest, and the ambush of Karabes will be bankrupt.

When the five hundred Gallic cavalry had entered the forest, they galloped all the way in the direction of Calabes; When they were only about two hundred meters away from the army of Karabes, they immediately spotted the army of Karabeth who were waiting for them, and before they could get closer and observe, the rain of arrows of the forest hunters had already fallen on their heads!

The Gallic cavalry, who had almost no defensive equipment, encountered the strongest archers with invincible attack power, and in this round of arrow rain alone, countless Gallic cavalry fell under their horses and became the souls of forest hunters; The Gallic cavalry, unwilling to be defeated, immediately accelerated their charge, they did not believe that a single army of archers could stop the cavalry attack!

So, the forest hunters gave these Gallic cavalrymen a lesson in actual combat; Five hundred Gallic cavalry, in a short distance of two hundred meters, withstood three rounds of arrow rain from three thousand forest hunters, and the number of dead and wounded was as high as more than 400, leaving only dozens of cavalry still charging forward.

Unfortunately, before they could stab their spears at the forest hunters, they were already rushed up and wiped out by the Gallic warriors who were responsible for protecting the forest hunters; Of the five hundred Gallic cavalry, only a few escaped in the end, which was the result of Calabest's arrangement, because Calabes had to let the Rimon tribal army outside the forest know that there were not many ambushes in the forest.

If these 500 cavalry are wiped out at one time, the army of the Rimon tribe outside the forest will not easily enter the forest under the premise that the situation is unknown, but will send more cavalry to test it; Rather than wasting time like this, it is better to directly inform the army of the Rimon tribe outside the forest about the strength of your own side in this way, and attract them to attack.

Carabes's strategy proved to be successful; When Vaktisa learned that there were only about seven or eight thousand archers and infantry troops in ambush in the forest, he decisively ordered the Third and Fourth Legions to enter the forest to destroy the enemy army, and he himself took the rest of the army and waited outside the forest for the good news of the total annihilation of the enemy army.

Although these cavalrymen, when reporting the situation, deliberately explained the strength of the enemy's archer troops; However, the Gauls, who had always looked down on the archers, ignored the lessons of the blood of these cavalrymen and slaughtered into the forest with great vigour.
