Fundamentally, it is not the words that annoy lying loudly to others, nor deliberately trying to mislead others, but saying false things to oneself in one's own mind, especially "what is false in the most important things". Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

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

The six legions of the Rimon tribe also advanced in a fixed formation, with the most elite ace legions commanded by Vaktisza and the cavalry legions commanded by Grasobrin at the rear of the entire army; From front to rear, there are the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th Army Corps.

When Itami's cavalry attacked from both flanks of the Rimon tribe, the node of the attack was the connection between the First and Second Legions; The 1st and 2nd Army Corps, which were caught off guard, immediately fell into chaos and could only resist on their own.

The First Legion and the Second Legion were originally formed by the warriors of the Rimon tribe and the warriors of other tribes, except for the warriors of the Rimon tribe, which was relatively well-organized, the warriors of the other tribes were all organized by tribes.

In a relatively large tribe, one or two thousand warriors may form a combat unit of the legion, while in a smaller tribe, hundreds of warriors, or even dozens of warriors form a combat unit; And the person who commands them is none other than their tribal leader.

The commanders of the two legions were only the nominal commanders of these combined tribal armies, and in fact the army that could be commanded was only 5,000 men of the Rimon tribe; The remaining 5,000 warriors were just following the orders of their respective tribal leaders.

Such a loosely structured army was immediately torn apart in the face of Itami's cavalry attack; Those combat units from various tribes are only fighting in their own tribes, and have neither the idea of aiding the warriors of other tribes, nor will they receive assistance from the warriors of other tribes.

The dense jungle terrain also greatly limited the reinforcement speed of the subsequent legions, and the whole battle was almost a single battle between Itami's cavalry legions and the first and second legions of the Rimon tribe, not even a single battle.

Because the commander of the First Legion, Capernus, and the Legion Commander of the Second Legion, Mutius, both of whom were generals of the Rimon tribe, naturally knew all about this conspiracy; Therefore, after Itami's cavalry launched a charge, they immediately ordered the relatively well-organized warriors of the Rimon tribe to stabilize the formation and slowly retreat, and handed over the main force of the battle to the warriors of the other tribes.

How could the warriors of other tribes, who were fighting on their own, reach the attack of the well-trained and concerted Itami Legion? However, the jungle terrain of the Aquitani region did weaken the role of the cavalry, preventing Itami's cavalry from being strong enough, and giving these warriors from various tribes the capital to resist the onslaught of cavalry.

The ambush did not last long, and after completely disrupting the formation of the First and Second Legions, and inflicting great casualties on the Rimon army, Itami decisively led his cavalry out of the battle, ending the ambush battle.

After Itami's cavalry had withdrawn for a long time, the reinforcements led by Vaktisza himself arrived at the place of battle in a hurry; At this time, there was no trace of the enemy troops in the battle site, only wounded soldiers lying on the ground wailing and lifeless corpses, and the tribes that were lucky enough to have no casualties were also watching with palpitations.

All the people of the Rimon tribe did not expect that the Romans in Gaul outside the mountains would take the initiative to attack their own side, and they also sent such a large number of cavalry to attack their own army; You know, the people of the Rimon tribe thought that the Romans in Gaul outside the mountains had no idea that their army was about to attack them.

What is even more helpless is that in this sudden battle, the 20,000 troops of the 1st and 2nd Army Corps paid at least 3,000 dead and 2,000 wounded to repel the enemy's attack; However, the corpses of the enemy that could be left at the scene were less than 500.

With 20,000 Gallic warriors, in the jungle-covered area of Aquitani, they faced about 7,000 enemy cavalry; While suffering 5,000 casualties, he only inflicted 500 casualties on the enemy, which undoubtedly made all Gauls feel disgraced.

Against this backdrop, the preservation of power by Capernus and Mutius was also overlooked; After all, the battle at that time was extremely chaotic, and no one noticed the actions of the two legion commanders, let alone the transfer of the warriors of the Rimon tribe.

After rehabilitation, the army of the Rimon tribe resumed its advance once more; However, this time we have made new adjustments compared to the previous ones. The 1st and 2nd Corps, which had just been attacked, were withdrawn to the rear of the main army, with the ace legion led by Vaktisza himself in the center, the 3rd and 4th legions to open the way, and the cavalry corps of Glasobrin to keep watch.

Even if the main purpose of the Rimon tribe was to weaken the other tribes, they could not watch their army be wiped out by the Gallics beyond the mountains in the land of Aquitani; Those warriors of other tribes, who must die must die, are valuable to the Rimon tribe, and they must not be sent to death in vain.

Otherwise, if the casualties of the other tribes were too heavy, and only the army of the Rimon tribe was left to deal with the Romans in Gaul outside the mountains, wouldn't it be the hard battle of the Rimon tribe itself? Vaktiza wouldn't be so stupid!

After Itami's cavalry withdrew from the battle, they did not immediately return to the location of the main army of Calabes, but continued to roam around the armies of the Rimon tribe to see if there was a chance to launch another attack.

In the battle that had just taken place, the thoughtful Itami easily spotted the strangeness of the Rimon tribal army; The army of the Rimon tribe was clearly divided into two parts, one was a relatively well-organized army, and the other was very loosely organized.

In the face of their own cavalry assault, the well-organized army, which occupied about half of the Rimon army, decisively chose to retreat back in the battle, leaving only the disorganized army to resist separately.

Itami was originally the general of the Rimon tribe who was on the battlefield to draw those elite warriors to form a defensive line, ready to deal with further attacks on his own side, or take the initiative to launch a counterattack against his own side; However, it turned out that this force did not do this, and these elite divisions of the army of the Rimon tribe turned out to be spectators of the battle!

Such an abnormal thing made Itami also confused and puzzled; In the next half day, the army of the Rimon tribe resumed its advance again, adjusted the marching order of the army, and even sent cavalry to patrol the guard.

Knowing that there was no chance to launch another sneak attack, Itami gave up the idea of attacking the army of the Rimon tribe, and directly led his cavalry troops to evacuate this jungle area, and quickly evacuated in the direction of the main army of Calabes.

At this point, Calabess's ambush preparations were almost complete; This time, the ambush site of Calabis was chosen on an open meadow, which was not small enough to accommodate a decisive battle of 50,000 troops.

Just in front of this open meadow is the jungle of the Aquitani region, and behind it is the deep forest of trees, both of which are not suitable for a decisive battle; Only this meadow is the only place in the entire region that is suitable for a decisive battle of the army.

Of course, the emptiness of the meadow also greatly limited the ambush of Calabes' army, making it impossible for Calabis to use conventional ambush methods at all; After carefully surveying the meadow, Calabes came up with an even more ingenious ambush!

This open meadow is not a very flat meadow, but a mountainous area with large undulating terrain covered with vegetation; It's almost impossible to find a place in such a meadow where you can hide your army, but it's possible to create it artificially.

After roughly predicting the route of the Rimon tribe's army, Karabes chose an ambush site more than 300 meters to the left and right of the Rimon tribe's army; And the main force responsible for the ambush is, of course, the First Army of Karabes.

Four thousand young soldiers, led by Allah, will lie in ambush three hundred meters to the left of the Rimon tribesmen's army, while three thousand hoplite soldiers will lie in ambush three hundred meters to the right of the Rimon tribe's army, led by Tursus; And their ambush site is the grass hole they dug themselves!

That's right, digging a hole in the grass was a good idea that Calabes came up with; Since the grass is not suitable for ambushing a large-scale army, it is not possible to dig some grass holes in the grass that are not deep, and then let the soldiers hide in them, and cover their bodies with a little grass or something.

I have to admit that Calabes's brain is really useful, and such an ambush method can indeed avoid being discovered by the army of the Rimon tribe as much as possible; Of course, these are just pre-arranged arrangements, and they are not the real weapons of mass destruction in the hands of Karabeth.

In addition to the 7,000 soldiers of the First Legion who were ambushed on both flanks of the Rimon tribe army, the 7,000 soldiers of Brigo's Fourth Legion were arranged by Calabes into the jungle in front of the meadow, which is the direction from which the Rimon tribe army came!

The dense jungle can be both a natural helper for the army of the Rimon tribe and a barrier for Calabes; As long as Brigo's army hides a little farther away, there is no need to worry that the army of the Rimon tribe will find their tracks.

And the task given to him by Calabes was to immediately kill him from the jungle after receiving his own orders, and cut off the retreat of the Rimon tribesmen's army; As for the remaining 3,000 forest hunters and soldiers of the Mastiff Legion, as well as the Itami cavalry legion that was about to return, they were all withdrawn into the forest behind the meadow by Karabes, waiting for the arrival of the Rimon tribe army!
