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

In the blink of an eye, it was only a year or so, and the army under Calabes's command had expanded from one legion to seven legions now; Leaving aside the problems of the generals for the time being, even the quality of the entire corps is also declining.

With the exception of the most elite First Legion and the Second Legion, which was second only to the First, even Itami's Third Legion had been supplied with large numbers of cavalry several times; Similar to the sixth, seventh, and eighth legions that have just been formed, not to mention.

A sharp increase in the number of troops will inevitably lead to a sharp decline in the overall quality; Karabes firmly believes that the generals under his command will eventually restore the combat effectiveness of each legion to its peak, but that takes time to accumulate, and the most important thing Karabes lacks at the moment is time, and there is no time to give these legions a chance to grow.

The reorganization of the three legions was completed by Carabes in only one day; There was only one reason why he was so hasty, and that was that Calabes had to send troops to take the Belgian region of the British barbarians before Arminius led a large army to reinforce the Badawi tribes, and then attack from the rear of the British barbarian army that had invaded the Germanic region.

In order to win the friendship of the Germanic barbarians, and also to win a stable rear, Carabis decided to trust the most important organization of the Augustan family; Since he has chosen to trust the Tragic Dead unconditionally, Karabes can only do his best for it.

Although the three newly formed legions have not undergone any training for cooperation, and even the soldiers of those legions do not even know their own commanders; However, they were all the most elite warriors of their respective tribes, and their own combat effectiveness was also good, as long as they could skillfully pick up weapons and kill, this would be enough for Karabes.

On the very day that the reorganization of the three legions was completed, Calabes announced the appointment of the commanders of the three legions on the spot; Immediately, the three corps commanders took up their posts, and Aminos was transferred to the First Legion as the commander of the three thousand hoplites.

Whether it was the three generals who were the commanders of the legions, or Aminos, who was the commander of the hoplites, Calabes gave them only one night to familiarize themselves with their army; Tomorrow morning, the 1st and 3rd Legions, as well as the 6th and 7th Legions, will all march for Belgium, while Allah's Eighth Army will remain in charge of the Greater Gaul region.

The Greater Gaul region had just been occupied by Calabes, and the tribes, large and small, were forced to surrender by force, and Carabis had to leave a full Eighth Army to stay in the Greater Gaul region to prevent any changes in the Greater Gaul area.

In fact, the great and small Gallic barbarian tribes of Greater Gaul have lost their independent warriors, and they have no strength to resist the rule of Calabes; However, even if he did not have the strength, it was impossible for Calabes to leave the Greater Gaul region undefended without leaving a single soldier.

Even in order to defend against the unlikely attack of other Gallic barbarians, Calabis would leave behind a legion in Greater Gaul that could stabilize the situation; Compared to the Sixth Legion commanded by Anerin, Calabis is still willing to trust Allah's Eighth Legion, after all, Allah is the first general to follow Carabes, and he is also the general who has always been loyal to Carabes.

Perhaps, Allah's ability is not as good as Anelin's, his training of troops is not as good as Grace's, and his command of battle is even worse than that of Aminos; However, Allah has a loyalty that no one else has, and that alone is enough for Karabeth to reuse him and give him more power.

After leading an army of 34,000 with four legions to the Belgian region, Carabes did not dare to delay in the slightest along the way, but let all the warriors advance as fast as possible; The journey, which was supposed to take six days, was completed in four days by the army of Carabes.

By this time, Arminius's army had left the region of Agridigumat and was beginning to enter the region of Lower Germania; There are still three full days to go from the junction of the Lower Germanic and Agripugated regions to the city of Badawi, which is enough time for Calabes to take the Belgian region and launch an attack on the British barbarian army led by Balenas?

As it turned out, Calabis had won numerous battles, but he was also a man and not a god after all; After struggling to reach the city of Samararobriva, Calabis had to admit that his 34,000 men were exhausted.

Even the most powerful First Legion was exhausted from the desperate march, not to mention the two newly formed legions; Of the four legions, the third legion of the pure cavalry legion was slightly better, and the other three legions did not have a good rest, and it was impossible to attack the enemy, and they simply did not have the strength to hold their weapons tightly.

What Karabes did not expect was that just as he ordered the soldiers of the three legions to rest while they were still resting, the Third Legion, which was in charge of guarding the perimeter, discovered the traces of the British barbarian army; According to Itami's report, at least 10,000 or so British barbarian warriors are rapidly approaching the rest area of their own army!

With the current state of the Sixth Legion and the Seventh Legion, even if the British barbarians killed them in front of them, they were powerless to pick up the weapons in their hands and resist; Only the most elite First Legion still has the strength to fight, and that refers to the Young Army and the Forest Hunters.

The three thousand hoplites had already exhausted the last of their strength on the march, and they were more tired and tired than the officers and men of the Sixth and Seventh Legions; The moment they lay down, they were already snoring.

Since neither the most elite hoplites nor the soldiers of the two legions could meet the enemy, Karabes could only meet the enemy's 10,000 soldiers with three thousand forest hunters and four thousand youths; As for Itami's cavalry, Calabis didn't plan to let his cavalry meet the enemy warriors in the jungle.

The hoplites were exhausted and unable to fight, but Aminos, as the commander of the hoplites, offered Karabes to temporarily command the young men into battle; For the generals who actively sought war, Carabes naturally agreed generously.

In this way, Aminos commanded an army of four thousand elite youths to lay out a neat battle formation at the location chosen by Calabes, waiting for the rapidly approaching army of the enemy; And in the rear of the army of four thousand youths, there were three thousand forest hunters under the command of Falkus.

The Gallic barbarian general Falkus and his army of forest hunters have been serving under Calabes for a long time; Ever since they surrendered to Calabis at the behest of Lugotorix, they have been contributing to Calabes's outward expansion, and even if Karabes's enemies are their compatriots, their arrows will rain forward without hesitation.

These loyal forest hunters allowed Calabis to reap great success every time, and Falkus's calm command was the soul of the entire forest hunter army; For such a highly decorated army, Karabes had decided to give them better treatment, and to give them a glory that was hard to reach by ordinary people.

However, Calabes's idea could not be realized until the whole of Gaul had been conquered; When that day comes, Karabeth will definitely give all the forest hunters a huge surprise, and it will be the reward and glory they deserve!

When a dense crowd of sturdy warriors dressed in blue appeared in front of Karabes, Karabes found that Itami's cavalry corps still underestimated the number of enemies; The enemy army that came from this attack was not the so-called 10,000 people at all, and if nothing else, the 20,000 troops of the British barbarians stationed in the Belgian region should have been overwhelming.

In the face of a full 20,000 British barbarian soldiers, Carabis was not surprised in the slightest, and those battle-hardened youth army and forest hunters naturally did not care about the number of enemies; Three hundred and fifty meters, three hundred meters, two hundred and fifty meters, two hundred meters, when the enemy entered the two hundred meters range of the forest hunter, with the order of Falkus, the attack of the forest hunter began!

For the first time, a sharp rain of arrows fell on the heads of the British barbarian warriors, and before they could react, they were shot into hedgehogs in the overwhelming rain of arrows; Barbarian warriors with almost no armor to speak of, in front of top archers like Forest Hunters, always have to pay an extremely heavy price, this is the gap in weapons and equipment, not the gap in the combat effectiveness of the warriors.

The elite archers of the Germanic barbarians struggled to inflict many casualties on the hoplites of the House of Julius, but the Forest Hunters were able to inflict heavy casualties on the enemy in every battle; Not only because the forest hunters are indeed a little stronger than the elite archers, but also because everyone faces different enemies, and the barbarian warriors really lack the defense measures against the archers.

The British barbarian warriors in front of them could not avoid such a situation, and the distance of two hundred meters made the British barbarian warriors bear a full seven rounds of arrow rain; Even after crossing the death line of 200 meters, the young soldiers who stood in front of the forest hunters launched a fight against the British barbarian warriors, and the forest hunters continued to shoot arrows to the rear of the British barbarian warriors.

It was naturally impossible for the soldiers of the 4,000 Youth Army alone to stop the attack of so many British barbarian warriors, and ten minutes after the battle began, the Forest Hunter troops withdrew from the battle after firing more than twenty rounds of arrows; There was no way, the numerical disadvantage of the youth army was simply not enough for them to hold the battle line, and Karabes could only let them retreat to the rear in advance in order to protect the safety of the forest hunters.
