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

The strict military arrangement, coupled with the ignorance of the Augustusian family, the balance of victory was already tilting in favor of the Kingdom of Spain before the war began; But is the war really going so smoothly?

As soon as Botricott's order was given, the huge Spanish army began to move; The two corps, Tekomin and Gezka, each led their respective legions from the flanks of the army to the front.

Edota's army of four thousand frontal vanguards also marched at a great speed towards the Augustan camp; As for the shielded cavalry of Botricott, they began their rapid attack with the force of thunder.

Only the Oghuz Division, led by Botrecott himself, was still marching forward at an unhurried pace; It was also a special order from Botrekot not to allow the eight thousand infantry of Oghuz to march quickly.

The reason why Botricott gave such an order was because Botricott knew that the combat effectiveness of the army of the Augustan family was definitely not comparable to his own army of recruits; The real key to winning or losing lies in the value that can be created by a sneak attack.

As long as the 4,000 elite vanguards of Edota and the two recruit corps on the left and right flanks, the 24,000 army can take advantage of the Augustus family's army by surprise and break through the Augustus family's military camp first, and at that time, the decisive battle will really begin!

Whether it is the recruit corps on the left and right flanks, or the four thousand elites on the front, their combat effectiveness is simply not enough to deal a devastating blow to the Augustus family army in the barracks; Therefore, the decisive force of Botricott has always been the 8,000 soldiers led by him.

Once the sneak attack army in three directions successfully broke through the military camp of the Augustan family; When the time comes, Botracott will immediately invest the 8,000 elite infantry that will be used as the main force to start a war of annihilation against the army of the House of Augustus.

The size of the Augustan military camp was limited, and it was impossible to accommodate too many Spanish troops at once after the Augustan army of 10,000 was stationed in it; This limited the size of the Spanish army's offensive.

In this case, instead of throwing in new recruits who are not strong in combat to increase casualties and affect morale, it is better to directly invest the most elite 8,000 infantry to fight the Augustus army in the barracks.

With his own strength and preparation, he was prepared to deal with the army of the Augustan family that was caught off guard and hurriedly responded to the battle; Bautracote believed that such a battle would not last long, and that victory would belong to the Kingdom of Spain!

It is a pity that the development of things is always not subject to human will, and the cruel facts will always catch the parties off guard; When the army of the Kingdom of Spain was less than five hundred meters away from the Augustus family military camp, a terrible trumpet sounded.

It turned out that the 3,000 shield cavalry under the command of Botracott encountered fierce resistance from the Augustus family patrol guards when they were cleaning up the patrol guards on the periphery of the Augustus family barracks; During the battle between the two sides, a patrol guard took the opportunity to blow the horn of the cordon.

Although at the moment when the horn sounded, several shielded cavalry who reacted immediately stabbed their spears into the chest of the patrolling soldier; But the terrible sound of the trumpet was too loud in the silence of midnight to alarm the other soldiers.

The guards of the Augustus barracks, alarmed by the sound of the trumpet, immediately blew the horn of battle; The roaring battle horn sounded throughout the Augustus family's military camp in an instant, and all the soldiers were awakened!

The Spanish troops, who were aware of the discovery of the sneak attack, had no time to react otherwise; Edota immediately led his 4,000 elite Spanish fanatics to attack the Augustus family camp in spite of everything!

At this time, the First and Second Legions, which were still not a short distance away from the Augustus family military camp, also under the leadership of their corps commanders Tecomin and Gezka, hurriedly launched an assault on the Augustus family military camp!

The Spanish army, shouting the trumpet of the charge, launched an attack on the Augustus military camp from three sides at once; The guards of the Augustus family's barracks, which numbered less than a thousand people, had to rush forward desperately to resist.

The commander of the Third Legion, Segudus, and the lieutenant general of the legion, Marcus, had already woken up in their tents, and they didn't even have time to put on their armor, they just picked up their short swords and rushed out of the tents.

The sound of a huge charge sounded on three sides at the same time, making the two of them, who were the commanders of the legion, show extremely frightened looks; With their experience, it is not difficult to perceive the size of the enemy from the enemy's momentum, which is nearly three times the size of their own enemy army!

What made them feel even more terrifying was that the soldiers of the Third Legion in the barracks, except for the 1,000 soldiers who were guarding at night, the other soldiers were all holding a short sword and rushing out of the military tent with a blank face, and they didn't even have time to put on their battle armor.

The reason why the legions of the Augustan family have strong combat effectiveness is not only because the legions of the Augustan family have excellent generals and strict training, but also because the soldiers of the Augustan family have excellent weapons and equipment.

The fully equipped Augustus legion, with a full 6,000 hoplites, what a powerful fighting force; What now? How much combat power can the soldiers of the Augustan family who rely on a short sword to face the enemy exert?

The tensions and fierce fighting no longer gave Cegudus and Marcus enough time to resolve these issues; The enemy troops in all three directions had already erected ladders on the wooden walls of the barracks, and the soldiers of the Augustus family could only rush into battle.

Segudus, who didn't have time to think, watched as the soldiers of the Augustan family, who numbered nearly 4,000, did not wear a piece of armor, and met the enemy with the guards with short swords; The heavy casualties instantly made Segudus's eyes red.

Never before had Segudus been the commander of the Augustan clan that his Third Legion had suffered such heavy losses; Coupled with the fact that the opponent was still the Spanish army that he had always looked down on, the anger in Segudus's heart could be imagined.

The enraged Segudus couldn't restrain himself, he called Marcus to his side, and ordered Marcus to be responsible for leading the rest of the soldiers to put on their weapons and equipment before entering the battle, and he led his guards straight into the battle.

As a general trained by the Roman Republic, Segudus participated in several battles in the Augustan family, so he naturally had rich combat experience; He also knew that he would not be able to take risks as a master, but did the situation in front of him give him a chance to choose?

The 4,000 Spanish fanatics led by Edota himself were one of the most elite armies in the entire Spanish kingdom, and their elite level was definitely no less than the hoplites of the House of Augustus!

These fierce warriors, after climbing the walls of the Augustan military camp, immediately began a fierce battle with the guards of the Augustan family; With less than 400 guards, plus the follow-up more than 1,000 soldiers with only one short sword, how can they resist the 4,000 fanatical soldiers who are fully armed, have a firm will to fight, and are fierce in combat?

As soon as the two sides fought, the casualties of the Augustan soldiers skyrocketed; Those well-armed guards have already experienced a night of patrolling, and their combat effectiveness is naturally greatly reduced.

As for the more than 1,000 soldiers who were reinforced, they had just woken up from their sleep, and they joined the fierce battle before they had time to move their hands and feet, and their reactions were naturally much sluggish; In addition, they do not wear armor, so they are more vulnerable to heavy damage or killing.

For a moment, the battle in front of the barracks was extremely fierce, and the soldiers of the House of Augustus relied on their deaths and casualties to withstand the fierce onslaught of Edotta's troops; Even so, the entire frontal line of defense is in jeopardy.

It was at this time that Segudus led his guards into the battle of the frontal line, and finally consolidated the leaky frontal line; As for the battle on the left and right flanks, it was far less fierce than the frontal one.

The left and right flanks of the Augustan family camp were also defended by more than 300 well-equipped guards and more than 1,000 reinforcements; Their combat effectiveness is not strong, but their enemies are also recruits, and there is no madness of Spanish fanatics at all.

Therefore, after paying a very heavy price, they firmly defended the walls of the military camp; The Spanish troops climbed the wall several times, but were eventually driven down.

By this time, Marcus had reorganized at least two thousand hoplites and one thousand auxiliary regiments; At the critical moment, Marcus first sent 500 hoplites to the left and right flanks to support, and then sent all the remaining 2,000 soldiers to the front wall.

Just as the reinforcements sent by Marcus were dispatched, an incident occurred on the front wall that demoralized the Augustus army; When Segudus led his guards in a bloody battle, Edota went straight to Segudus himself!

As a general who has fought on the battlefield for many years, Edota can naturally see at a glance the special status of Segudus; Even though Segudus was not wearing the Legion's Captain's armor, his arrival immediately stabilized the line of defense on the frontal wall, which was enough to prove his special status.

Edota immediately led some of his bloodthirsty and belligerent fanatical warriors to Segudus; In the midst of the chaos, Segudus did not notice the Edota who came against him, nor did he deliberately watch out for anything.

As Edota approached Segudus, he let his warriors slowly clear the guards behind Segudus; By the time Cergudus reacted, he was already surrounded by Edota!

The officers and men of the Third Legion, upon discovering that the Legion Commander was surrounded by enemy troops, immediately began to attack the encirclement of Edota with all their might; Such an anomaly made Edota firmly believe in the special identity of Segudus, and he also stepped up the siege of him!

Segudus's own fighting skills were not bad, but how could he resist the siege of more than a dozen people after a long battle? After barely a few rounds, Segudus was already covered in injuries; Suddenly, a fanatic stabbed his short sword into Segudus' abdomen, and Segudus killed him with a backhand, only to be pierced by Edota's sword!
