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

Although the Julius family won the battle against the Mainz tribes, they lost the victory in the war with the Germanic barbarians; Odovaka's 35,000 Germanic army was left with only 10,000 men after the battle, Caesar's 20,000 soldiers paid the price of more than 10,000 casualties, and Flavis's army was left with just over 15,000 men.

From the six legions before the attack on the Germanic barbarians with an army of nearly 60,000 to the nine legions at this time with an army of less than 25,000, the Julius family paid the price of nearly 70,000 casualties in this Germanic land; And it turned out that nothing was gained.

The Poheim region was originally a region unrelated to the Germanic barbarians, and was another new province for the expansion of the Julius family; Even Caesar's occupation policy quickly stabilized the newly occupied province.

However, it is a pity that with the strong counterattack of the Germanic barbarians, the Poheim region has become another region under the rule of the Germanic barbarians, and has nothing to do with the Julius family; The Julius family had no choice but to retreat to the Norikum region.

After paying such a heavy price, but getting nothing, the only thing you get is probably the recognition of the strength of the Germanic barbarians; It seems that there is a reason why the Gallic barbarians have been pressed and beaten by the Germanic barbarians, at least the Julius family, who can defeat the Gallic barbarians, is very weak in front of the Germanic barbarians.

After this heavy defeat to Eudovaca's army, it was impossible to launch a counterattack against the army of the House of Julius again in a short time; However, the army of the Dam tribe, which had been chasing Caesar's army, could catch up at any time.

The army of Julius, who could not afford to fight any longer, did not waste time, and immediately after withdrawing to the battlefield, they returned to the barracks in the border area; After a night's rest, the army of Julius had completely burned all the slow equipment, and Flavis and Caesar withdrew with nine legions of men to Norikum.

There, the nine legions of the House of Julius will be quickly replenished and reinforced; The possible counterattack of the Germanic barbarians will also be stopped, and the Julius family will slowly engage in a protracted war of conquest with the Germanic barbarians!

This time, the Julius family will no longer be arrogant, nor will they despise the fighting power of the Germanic barbarians, let alone give the Germanic barbarians any chance to fight back; It's just that it all takes time to accumulate.

The day after the army of the House of Julius left the camp and withdrew to the Norikum region, Arminius's army of 30,000 joined up with the remnants of Odovaka; Upon learning that the army of the House of Julius had forcibly defeated the army of the Mainz tribe and fled to the Norikum region, Arminius began to negotiate with Odovaka.

According to the information provided by the Tragic Dead, the Badawi tribe in the Lower Germanic region is under a massive attack by the British barbarians, and the British army of nearly 50,000 people has entered the Lower Germanic region and surrounded the Badawi tribe in Badawi.

The Trier tribes of Upper Germanic region also lost almost all their living force after almost completely annihilating the 40,000-strong army of the Alesian tribes of the Gallic barbarians; After the end of the war, the leader of the Trier tribe, Ric Burgess, left only 5,000 Trier tribe warriors to guard the border area, and he himself led 8,000 main soldiers to reinforce the Badawi tribe.

Now, the Julius family has completely withdrawn from the Germanic land, and the Poheim region is also occupied by the 10,000 troops of the Damm tribe and the 5,000 warriors of the Macomani region, and the next main thing is to support the Badawi tribe and counterattack the Julius family.

Regarding the counterattack against the Julius family, Arminius felt that the Mainz tribe should still be the main force; Odovaka also expressed his willingness to lead 20,000 of the 25,000 warriors of the Mainz tribe to attack the Norikum region of the Julius family.

The 25,000 soldiers here in Odovaka include not only the 10,000 remnants of the army under his command, but also the 15,000 troops led by Ares to guard the city of Mainz; Although the invading forces of the House of Julius had all evacuated the territory of Agripugumat, Odovaka could not stay in his homeland without a single soldier.

Wars are always full of surprises and uncertainties, so what if the Julius family suddenly sent a small force out of a small force to attack the city of Mainz? Or what if the British barbarians broke through to Lower Germania and entered the region of Agripgumat?

As the leader of the Mainz tribe, these were all factors that Odovaka had to consider; However, due to the vengeful nature of the Germans, Eudovaca was still willing to use almost all of his 20,000 warriors to fight back against the Julius family.

Arminius agreed to Odovaka's approach in the matter of counterattacking the Yulius family, and was willing to put the elite warriors of the 10,000 dam tribe in the Poheim region under the unified command of Odovaka to fight back against the Norikum region of the Yulius family.

In addition to the 10,000 elite warriors of the Damm tribe and the 20,000 Mainz warriors led by Odovaka himself, Arminius also asked the Gothic cavalry to lead Langadis, and from the elite cavalry of the Gothic tribe, half of the elite cavalry of the non-Gothic cavalry was transferred to Eudovaca, so that he could counterattack the Julius family.

With Arminius' support, the number of troops that Odovaka could use to fight back against the House of Julius would be 35,000; With 25,000 troops at the time of the withdrawal of the Ulius family, Odovaka was already confident of defeating the Ulius family.

After the 5,000 cavalry under the command of Langadis were transferred to Eudovaca, the army directly under the command of Arminius was left with only 10,000 elite Damu tribesmen, 10,000 warriors from the Macomani region, and 5,000 fierce Gothic cavalry; If we add to this the 10,000 warriors of the Bodenshom tribe who are on their way to the Badawi tribe, it is a full 35,000 Germanic warriors.

The total strength of the British barbarians in the invasion of the Germanic region was only 46,000 men, and they had already paid a heavy price in the battle, and now they had an army of 40,000 men; In the information transmitted back by the tragic dead man before, it also explained in detail the strength that the Badawi tribe still possessed.

Atrilius, the leader of the Badawi tribe, had raised an army of 20,000 men with the leader of the Trier tribe, Rick Burgess, long before the outbreak of war, and this army was assisting the Badawi tribe in the defense of the city; Add to that the remaining 10,000 or so warriors of the Badawi tribe, that's a full army of 30,000.

More importantly, Badawi City is, after all, the territory of the Badawi tribe, and the foundation of the Badawi tribe's survival for hundreds of years; With the strength of the Badawi tribe, even if the situation develops to the point of being out of control, they can quickly recruit more than 20,000 Germanic youths in the city to join the battle, and those Germanic youths who are good at using battle axes cannot be underestimated.

In fact, even without considering the existence of these so-called young forces, the 30,000 Germanic warriors assembled by the Badawi tribe in the city of Badawi were enough for the invading British barbarians to break their teeth; Together with the 8,000 warriors of the Trier tribe, who reinforced the Badawi tribe, Arminius was optimistic about the situation in the Lower Germanic region.

In Arminius's view, this invasion of the Julius family also happened to unite the Germanic barbarians again; It will take some time for the full counterattack of the Julius family, and now we can only let Odovaka lead the army to counterattack.

After the Germanic barbarians had concentrated their efforts on destroying the invading armies of the British barbarians, Arminius would organize all the Germanic barbarian armies in the Lower Germanic territory to attack the Belgian areas occupied by the British barbarians; Throw those British barbarians from the continent into the sea again!

Having accomplished this, Arminius would lead a large army to help the Trier tribes of Upper Germania fight back against the Gallic barbarians; The Alesian tribes of the Gallic barbarians dared to take the initiative to attack the Trier tribes, and it was not bad to take this opportunity to bring the Greater Gaul region occupied by the Alesian tribes into the rule of the Germanic barbarians.

After these two things were done, Arminius would take the armies of the Damm, Bodenshom, Macomani, Goth, Trier, and Badawi tribes to the Norikum region to reinforce the army of Odovaka; At that time, it was the entire Germanic barbarian tribe that launched a full-scale counterattack against the Julius family!

Since the Julius family took the initiative to start this war, Arminius had to make good use of the Germanic tribes united by this war to conquer the regions of Poheim, Belgium, and Greater Gaul, which were connected to the Germanic peoples; Let the Germanic peoples expand their rule outward again, so as to lay the foundation for the future new rule of the Germanic peoples.

As for the war with the House of Julius, Arminius would not give up his revenge on the House of Julius; It's just that before taking revenge, Arminius must first grasp the rare opportunity for the expansion of the entire Germanic people, and he cannot waste such an opportunity in vain.

The region of Poheim has been occupied by their own Germanic armies, and the Alesian tribes, who have lost almost all of their main armies, have lost the capital to reach their own armies to conquer them; The only thing that can still hold on is that the army is still in the British barbarians in the Lower Germanic region, and after the 40,000 troops of the British barbarians are resolved, the situation will be truly clear.

The Greater Gaul region of the Gallic barbarian Alesian tribes would become the new western barrier of the Germanic peoples; The Belgian region of the British barbarians will also become another fertile and fertile land for the Germanic peoples. As for the Poheim region, it was already the land of the Germanic peoples, wasn't it? (To be continued.) )
