It is very difficult to fight with the heart, because every wish is paid for the soul. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

- Heraclitus (a legendary philosopher and a representative of the Efes)

The four great tribes of the British barbarians were once severely pitted by the commander of the army they had racked their brains to choose, and the price they paid for this was the loss of tens of thousands of British barbarian elite armies and the loss of more than half of the ships of the British barbarians; After losing all this, how could the angry British barbarians easily give up their revenge?

If it doesn't work in one month, it will take two months, and if it doesn't work in a year, it will take the four great tribes of the British barbarians a full six years to regain their own strength; The four major tribes of the British barbarians, who were originally fiercely fighting internally, also abandoned all their previous suspicions in the past six years, worked together to develop, and did their best to avenge Balenas who betrayed them.

In the space of six years, the four great tribes of the British barbarians reorganized an elite coalition of 60,000 men, and the number of warships and transports rose to a new peak; When all these preparations were made, the mighty British barbarian army set out again.

This time, the four major tribes of the British barbarians did not find anyone who everyone recognized as the commander of the army, and the 60,000 British barbarian coalition directly set up four commanders, which were served by the sons of the leaders of the four tribes; In this way, it can be regarded as a complete elimination of the repetition of the Balenas incident, which is an army dedicated to revenge Balenas.

After more than ten days of sailing, the British barbarian alliance reached the sea off the coast of Belgian ports; Calabis also has a fleet of decent size, and the main force of the fleet is the ships under the command of Balenas, who were captured that year.

As soon as the British barbarian fleet approached the open sea of the Belgian port, the patrol fleet under the command of Carabis immediately spotted a large fleet from the British barbarians; In the face of such a large fleet of unknown enemies, the patrol fleet under the command of Calabis directly turned around and returned to the port, while the British barbarian warships accelerated with extraordinary ferocity.

The British barbarians who were alone in the sea did not know that Barenus, who had betrayed them, had been defeated and killed years earlier, and they did not know that it was the governor of the Julius Empire, Calabes, who now ruled the land of Gaul and Belgium; When they discovered that the patrol fleet off the coast of Belgium was using British barbarian ships, their brains immediately rushed to the top of their minds.

In the eyes of these British barbarian soldiers, this patrol fleet using British barbarian warships must be the fleet of Barenas; This shameful traitor actually used the armies and warships of the four major tribes to live a leisurely life on the mainland, which was simply an explosion that made the four young commanders angry, and they immediately ordered all the warships of their own fleet to attack and destroy the enemy warships!

A wrong order can always start a wrong war, and who will become the victim of this war can only rely on strength and results; When the patrol fleet under the command of Calabes discovered that this unknown fleet had sent a large number of warships to pursue them, they immediately understood that this fleet from afar was definitely friend or foe.

It takes time for the ships of the patrol fleet to go from cruising slowly to retreating at full speed, but the ships of the British barbarian fleet have always maintained a very fast speed; Two of the four ships of the patrol fleet were sunk on the spot by the British barbarian ships that caught up because they were too slow, and the other two escaped back to Belgian ports.

After returning to the port, the captains of the two warships did not dare to delay, and hurried to find the commander of the fleet who was in the harbor and told him about the attack of the British barbarians; The commander of the fleet under the command of Calabes immediately ordered all the ships and transports in the Belgian port to move to the western port of Amaurica, and he himself hurried to Samarobria, the capital of the Belgian region.

At this time, the army under Calabes's command stationed in Samarobriva was the 9th Legion of Aram and the 10th Legion of Rasini, which were also the two new legions formed by Calabes when he unified the land of Gaul; Both of the legions were also tribal leaders of other Gallic barbarians who were willing to surrender to Calabes, and their legions were fairly decent in terms of combat effectiveness.

The reason why Calabes left the forces of the two legions at Samaro Briva was to prevent a possible attack by the British barbarians; Aren't Balenas and his army of British barbarians from overseas the British barbarians from overseas? Since the British barbarians had ambitions to march on the mainland, how could they be willing to fail, and it was only a matter of time before they attacked again.

Of course, there will always be people in this world who will be thieves for a thousand days and no one will be thieves for a thousand days, and the legions of Aran and Rasini were quite diligent when they first arrived in Belgium; However, as Chengping's days passed for a long time, Aran and Rasini naturally relaxed, and they began to live a life of singing and dancing.

In fact, at this time, the army under the command of Calabess had indeed passed too long of peace, and there were not only two generals who had slackened, Aram and Rasini; Even Brigo, Grace and others, who were under the nose of Calabess, focused their attention on their own tribe and other affairs, and neglected the affairs of their legions.

By the time the fleet commander hurried to Samarobriva, Arram's Ninth Legion and Rasini's Tenth Legion were still stationed in the barracks outside Samarobriva, but the two captains had gone to a horse race for cavalry.

In such a situation, what can the commander of the fleet do but be anxious, he has no power to mobilize the officers and men of the Ninth and Tenth Legions; In order to prepare the Ninth and Tenth Legions for battle, the fleet commander had to inform the captains of the two legions in the barracks about the enemy attack, and then continued to look for the two captains at the horse farm.

It was only after three hours that the commander of the fleet found the two commanders who were comfortable in a beautiful horse farm; After this delay, when the Commanders of the Arrams and Rasini arrived at the camp, the 60,000-strong allied army of the British barbarians had landed in Belgian harbor and was marching in the direction of Samarobriwa.

At this time, another problem arose, the protracted peace not only made the two army commanders relax their guards, but also made the soldiers of the two army corps extremely depleted; The full army with 7,000 soldiers could not even gather 5,000 soldiers, and one-fifth of the captain and centurion were not in the barracks, how could such an army reach the attack of the British barbarian army.

In fact, this is not to blame the officers and men of the Ninth and Tenth Legions, after all, these things have become the norm in these two legions; The soldiers of all these two legions were accustomed to taking turns on leave, so how could they be fully loaded when war came?

Even if each legion could only gather about 5,000 soldiers at most, Aram and Rasini could not sit idly by and ignore the attacking British barbarian army; After sending several cavalry to call for help from Calabis in Alesia, they led their legions out of the city to meet the incoming British barbarian army.

It's not that Aram and Rasini are unwilling to defend the city, but there is not a fortified city in the Belgian region that can be defended; The most notable feature of the barbarian world is that it is impossible to find a city with stone walls, and Karabes does not have such a large financial resources to civilize the barbarian world, let alone build stone walls for the cities of the barbarian world.

A city without stone walls could not be used by a simple wooden wall. Instead of cowering in the city and being beaten passively, it is better to go out of the city and take the initiative. Now Aram and Lasini don't know how many invading British barbarian armies there are, and they simply think that the strength of the British barbarians is limited, and at most there are only 10,000 or 20,000 invading troops.

Perhaps it was because Carabes was too easy when he united the Germanic barbarians to annihilate the Barenas army six years ago, which directly led to a contemptuous attitude towards the combat effectiveness of the British barbarian army; Soon, Aran and Rasini will pay a terrible price for their contempt.

After the men of the Ninth and Tenth Legions met the British barbarian army, before the 10,000 soldiers of the two legions lined up in a majestic battle formation, the British barbarian army all over the mountains rushed up densely.

Where is this army of 10,000 or 20,000, this is clearly a huge force of at least 50,000 or more! Unfortunately, after the battle broke out, there was no room for maneuver left for Aram and Lasini, who had to lead their respective soldiers to meet them, and first engaged in a fierce battle with the rushing British barbarian chariot troops.

In the face of the mighty chariot army of Britannia, the soldiers under the command of Aram and Lasini were as fragile as papier-mâché dummies; After just one charge of the 8,000 British chariot army, the army of Calabes, which had once unified the land of Gaul, collapsed on all fronts.

The power of time lies in the fact that it can change everything, the originally weak can become strong in the passage of time, and the originally strong can also become weak in the passage of time; The army under the command of Karabes has changed from strong to weak in the comfort of long-term peace, which is also the inertia of history, and a comfortable living environment is the main factor in destroying a strong army.

Syria and Rasini could not reorganize their armies after the rout, nor could they stop the chariot troops and cavalry pursued by the British barbarians; In desperation, Aran and Lasini had to quickly withdraw with the remnants of their army to the Greater Gaul region where Calabis was located, and as for the Belgian area they defended, the fall was already a foregone conclusion.
