The rule of law is better than the rule of any one person. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 The so-called rule of law should have two meanings: the established law is universally obeyed, and everyone obeys the law itself to make a good law.

Flavies' luck was unimaginable to Flavies, who, in Flavies' opinion, did not necessarily lead his army into Greater Gaul at this time; And the situation on his side has developed to such a point that he can no longer expect Calabis to play a role in turning the tide of the battle, because it is already too late.

Even if Carabes could now attack the Germanic barbarians from the west of the Germanic barbarians, it would not be possible to change the result that all the strategic plans of the Julius family were completely bankrupt; With the fall of the Macomani region, the danger of the fall of the Poheim region at any time has made the undefended Norikum region a front line of war, and the army of the Julius family must retreat as soon as possible.

Flavies's idea was to unite Caesar's army to flank the main army of the Mainz tribe in Odovaka; As long as the two armies of the Julius family can inflict heavy losses on Eudovaca's army, then the next step is to quickly withdraw to the Norikum area.

In fact, whether or not the army of the House of Julius could defeat the army of Eudovaca, the retreat was an inevitable result of the House of Julius; It's just that the successful defeat of Odovaka's army can buy more precious time for the Julius family.

Otherwise, the army of the House of Julius will retreat to the Norikum area on the front foot, and the army of the Mainz tribe of Odovaka will immediately advance and pursue the army of the House of Julius; At that time, even if the army of the Julius family withdrew to the Norikum area, it was inevitable that there would be a decisive battle with the army of Odovaka.

Rather than fight in the land of the House of Julius, it is better to fight this decisive battle in the land of the Germanic peoples; You must know that even if Julius's army withdraws to the Norikum area, it will be impossible to replenish the soldiers of each legion in a short period of time, and the recovery of combat effectiveness is a protracted matter.

Therefore, there is no substantial difference between withdrawing two days earlier and two days later; Even, it would be extremely advantageous for the Julius family to finish this decisive battle in the Agripum region earlier.

After all, Caesar's army could attack from behind Odovaka, so it was still the army of the House of Julius that flanked Odovaka's army on both sides; If the war dragged on to the Norikum region, the Julius family would not have such good favorable conditions, and would even be in an even more disadvantageous state.

Although the Julius family will have the advantage of fighting at home in the Norikum area, the Germanic army of Eudovaca will also be reinforced by the Germanic barbarian army that pursues Caesar's army; At the present time, Odovaka had an army of 35,000, and the Germanic army pursuing Caesar had at least 30,000.

According to Caesar's attack, the city of Mainz came to the conclusion that there should be absolutely no less than 10,000 troops in the city; Once the Julius army withdrew from the Germanic barbarian lands, these armies would join the attack on the Norikum region, which was a full 70,000 troops, not counting the Germanic barbarian army that occupied the Poheim region.

If the Germanic barbarian army that occupied the Poheim region also had one or two thousand men, it would be terrible that the Germanic barbarians could use it to attack the army of the Norikum region; In contrast, the army that the Julius family could use to fight was extremely pitiful.

There were only 30,000 soldiers left under Flavies' command, and Caesar's army was not even 20,000; Even with the thousands of wounded soldiers who were recuperating in the Norikum area, the Ulius family would not have been able to fight more than 55,000 soldiers in the end.

In this way, the Julius family would be at an absolute disadvantage against the invading armies of the Germanic barbarians; The army of the Julius family did not defeat the Germanic barbarian army despite the lack of difference in strength, and in order to win the war at a disadvantage, Flavies himself had no bottom at all.

With these factors in mind, Flavies decided to unite Caesar's army to defeat Odovaka's army before retreating; In this way, more favorable conditions can be created for the Julius family to resist the counterattack of the Germanic barbarians!

Unfortunately, Flavies did not know that the Germanic barbarians were now in the midst of a war with the British barbarians, otherwise he would have had a new perspective on the situation of the war; However, no matter what, it will not affect the withdrawal of the Julius family, as long as Norikum is in danger of being attacked, Flavis has no choice but to retreat.

In fact, even the current situation is not as good as Flavies imagined; Although Caesar's army was not discovered by Ares in time when he evacuated the city of Mainz, Ares quickly passed the news to the other Mourners through a pigeon message, and told them to inform Odovaka as quickly as possible.

Ares easily discovered the direction of Caesar's army's attack, and in order to prevent Eudovaca's army from falling into the front and rear of the Julius family, Ares hurriedly asked the other Sadhans to pass the information to Eudovaca.

When Flavis received news from Caesar's cavalry, Odovaka also received information from the Dead of Sorrow; Odovaka's heart was grateful to the Tragic Dead, especially when he learned that Ares led 300 Tragic Dead to help the Mainz tribe defend the city of Mainz, which moved Odovaka's heart even more.

In this war between the Germanic barbarians and the Julius family, the tragic dead definitely played a vital role; No matter why the Tragic Dead helped the Germanic barbarians, Odovaka, as the leader of the Mainz tribe, silently endured the countless friendships of the Tragic Dead Warriors, which is a sentiment that the entire Mainz tribe can never forget!

Since the Julius family wants to fight a decisive battle between the front and back, Odovaka will naturally not sit still; The day after receiving the information, he led all 35,000 troops and turned around and launched an attack on Caesar's army!

Flavies, who had been closely following the movements of Odovaka's army, learned that Odovaka had led all the troops to retreat, and his first reaction was that Odovaka was likely to get information about the attack of Caesar's army; After all, the Agripu Gumat region is the domain of the Mainz tribe, and it is only reasonable for Odovaka to get the information in advance.

How could an army of less than 20,000 men led by Caesar hold back the attack of Eudovaca's army of 35,000? What's more, Caesar's army has been pursued by tens of thousands of Germanic armies, and once Caesar's army is caught in the front and rear of the Germanic army, Caesar and his army will be completely finished.

Naturally, Flavis could not sit idly by and watch such a thing happen; So, while Odovica's army quickly retreated, Flavis also led his entire army to launch a rapid pursuit, and in order to keep up with the march speed of Odovaka's army, Flavies even dropped all those powerful weapons.

Caesar, after receiving orders from Flavis, continued to march forward with the remnants of his three legions, preparing to join forces with Flavis to attack the Germanic army of Odovaka a day later; After half a day's march, Caesar suddenly spotted a flock of startled birds in the distant forest.

There are massive enemy forces that are rapidly approaching! This was Caesar's first reaction, after all, Flavies's order had just arrived, and it was impossible to send troops to reinforce him at this time; Therefore, this rapidly approaching enemy army must be the army of the Germanic barbarians!

Having made an accurate judgment, Caesar did not dare to delay, and immediately ordered his soldiers to line up battle formations and prepare to meet the enemy's attack; Sure enough, in less than half an hour, countless Germanic warriors rushed towards Caesar's warlike army from all directions, and the number was definitely more than 30,000!

Caesar could not quickly defeat these enemy forces in the jungle when an enemy army of this magnitude attacked, and the battle between the two sides was destined to be a fierce battle of flesh and blood from the beginning; In order to leave the battlefield alive, the soldiers of the Julius family can only choose to fight to the death with the attacking enemy, while the warriors of the Germanic barbarians are gritting their teeth and trying to kill the invaders in front of them.

This one does not need prisoners, only a battle of life and death; The victor will naturally have the right to survive, while the loser will have to stay here. The whole three hours of fighting reduced Caesar's army to more than 12,000 people, while the 35,000 army led by Odovaka himself paid the price of less than 5,000 casualties.

At this time, the 30,000-strong army led by Flavies finally arrived at the battlefield at the most critical moment; With the blow of these 30,000 living forces in the back, the casualty toll of the Germanic barbarians also rose rapidly, and the tide of the war was also developing in the direction of the Julius family.

However, the warriors of the Germanic barbarians were not so easily subdued; Odovaka left 15,000 soldiers to continue to besiege Caesar's army in front, and he himself personally led another 15,000 soldiers to turn around and launch a fierce counterattack against the attacking army of Julius.

Caesar's army withstood the attack of the Germanic barbarian army, while the army of Flavis completely defeated the counterattack of Odovaka; The bloody battle finally ended when the Germanic barbarian army paid the price of 20,000 casualties.

Odovaka led the remnants of 10,000 Germanic warriors to withdraw from the battle, while the victorious Julius family quickly joined forces and withdrew directly to the Norikum region, without even exercising the victor's right to clean up the battlefield. (To be continued.) )
