"Chapter 561: The Power of the Chariot"

Pity is caused by a person's misfortune, and fear is caused by the similarity of this person who suffers from bad luck to us. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

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

Arminius had never been an ambitious man, and he had never wanted to make the Dam tribe the most powerful tribe of the entire Germanic barbarians, let alone the only tribe that ruled the Germanic barbarians; However, he was also a Germanic nationalist who was crazy about making the entire Germanic barbarian tribe strong.

Perhaps, in Arminius's heart, the tribal division is never the most important thing, as long as everyone is Germanic, then whoever is strong will be the strength of the Germanic nation; This is something that very few people can do, even in civilized countries.

Whether it is the alliance of Greek city-states fighting openly and secretly for the interests of their respective city-states, or the various civilizations that live and die for the interests of their respective families, no one can consider these selfless issues from the perspective of their own national interests; People are selfish, and it is one of human nature to sacrifice their compatriots for the sake of their own strength.

Perhaps, for some people, only their own interests are the highest interests; Even those family leaders, city-state consuls, they only think about the interests of their own families and their own city-states. The so-called national interests are still too ridiculous in the eyes of these people; However, whether the interests of the nation are ridiculous or their behavior is ridiculous can only be judged by history.

the great Arminius, who was given the name of greatness and was revered by all Germanic peoples; Even the other tribal armies that reinforced the Damm tribe willingly obeyed Arminius's orders, which originated from Arminius's selfless dedication to the entire Germanic people.

As the leader of the Dam tribe, Arminius led the army of the Dam tribe to attack the invading army of the Julius family, which was a matter of course; However, he would continue his pursuit after the Ulius army had turned around and entered the Aglidigumat region, in order to help the Mainz tribe resist the invasion of the Julius.

Why would he send out the elite warriors of the 10,000 Damu tribe under his command to the commander of the rebel army in the Macomani region before leading his army to pursue the army of the Julius family; It was not for Volcaris to lead an army back against the Julius family's Poheim region, which meant that Volcaris would gain dominion over the newly occupied Boheim region.

Verkaris himself the leader of his own tribe and now the commander of the rebel army in the Macomani region; In the future, his tribe would surely become the new ruler of the Macomani region, so why did Arminius give him the army of his tribe and give him dominion over the Poheim region?

In fact, the reason is very simple, that is, because the region of Macomani is connected to the region of Poheim, Arminius has allowed the most convenient Vercaris to obtain the right to rule the region of Poheim; And it was the 10,000 elite warriors of the Damu tribe who contributed the effort.

Why did Vercaris willingly send his general Marcui out after seeing the army led by Arminius, and let Marcuy lead the most elite 10,000 rebel soldiers to follow Arminius to help his compatriots in the Mainz tribe, isn't it because Arminius's high prestige is admirable?

If everything that follows goes according to Arminius's vision, Arminius' great army will occupy the Belgian region of the British barbarians and the Greater Gaul of the Gaul barbarians; After the occupation of these two areas, the Belgian region will definitely be ruled by the Badawi tribes who are close to the Belgian region.

The Greater Gaul region will also be ruled by the Trier tribes connected to the border with the Greater Gaul region; Neither the Badawi tribe nor the Makomani region are strong, and even if a new region is given to them, they will not have the strength of the Dam tribe for a short time.

But the Trier tribe is different, you must know that the Trier tribe was originally a Germanic barbarian tribe whose strength was almost second only to the Dahm tribe; Once the Trier tribes gain access to Greater Gaul from the Gallic barbarians, their strength will increase rapidly.

It is no exaggeration to say that the Trier tribes, which possessed the Upper Germanic and Greater Gauls, would only need a maximum of twenty years of peaceful development to become a Germanic barbarian tribe superior to the Damm tribes; Was Arminius really willing to do this?

Yes, Arminius was willing to do that! As long as the Trier tribe has such an opportunity for development, Arminius will not only not have any constraints, but will quietly help the Trier tribe develop rapidly; Let the Trier tribe have the strength to surpass the Dam tribe faster, this is Arminius!

I have to admit that Arminius's high wind and brightness is indeed admirable; Even the Romans, who had always prided themselves on their unity, had never produced a great man like Arminius, who could give up his family's powerful opportunities for the development of the entire Roman nation.

In fact, now the great powers of the Roman Republic have proven everything; The family of Augustus, who ruled the north, the family of Julius, who had no choice but to abandon their homeland, the family of Scipio, who ruled the south, and the Marius power that occupied the core of Rome, the fragmented Roman forces had long made the Roman Republic a nominal state.

If the Roman Republic had a great man like Arminius to put all the Roman forces in one place, then the whole Mediterranean would have become an inland sea for the Romans; All the countries bordering the Mediterranean will become new provinces of the Roman Republic!

It is a pity that such great men did not exist in the world of the Romans; Even if it is really born, it has no chance to grow up at all, the infighting of the Romans is always much more fierce than outsiders think, the former generals Ules and Gabriel are the most real examples, and the blood of the Maxentius family has not yet dried up!

Eudovaca, with the five thousand cavalry supported by Arminius, did not immediately pursue the army of the House of Julius; On the one hand, he also needs to ask Ares in Mainz for reinforcements of 10,000 soldiers, and on the other hand, almost all of his wounded soldiers really need to recuperate.

After instructing Odovaka not to be impulsive when counterattacking, Arminius led a large army to the Lower Germanic region; The Germanic barbarians were still quite simple, and they trusted even the tragic dead who helped them, and they respected such selfless greats as Arminius as gods.

Even Odovaka, who was irascible and impulsive, maintained considerable restraint in front of Arminius; At the very least, Odovaka would never shout at Arminius, and this is how Odovaka respects Arminius.

After leaving the location of the Odovaka army, Arminius did not waste any more time, but marched quickly towards the Lower Germanic region, where the Badawi tribe was located; At this time, a huge battle broke out outside Badawi City!

After the 40,000 large army led by Balenas himself besieged the city of Badawi, Balenas did not rush to attack the defenders in the city immediately, but wanted to wait for the people of the Badawi tribe in the city to exhaust the grain and grass and force all the Germans and their 30,000 warriors who were not weak in combat strength to surrender.

Although the army of Balenas destroyed about 13,000 Germanic warriors of the Badawi tribe at the cost of 6,000 casualties; But even Barernas himself has to admit that the warriors of those Germanic barbarians still have very strong combat effectiveness, and he himself only has such a good record by occupying an absolute superiority in strength.

Thus, Balenas had in his heart the idea of forcing the Badawi tribe to surrender the 30,000 Germanic warriors in the city of Badawi; The 20,000 warriors surrendered by the Samarobriva tribe last time had already given Balenas a taste of the sweetness of recruiting enemy troops, and this time he naturally would not miss the opportunity to surrender 30,000 Germanic barbarian warriors.

Of course, he would not be so simple as to think that he could recruit 30,000 unruly Germanic barbarian warriors with a few words of persuasion; Therefore, he did not offer the defenders of Badawi City to surrender at all, but simply surrounded them in this way.

Unfortunately, before the 30,000 Germanic barbarian warriors in the city and the Germanic people of the Badawi tribe could exhaust the food in the city, the leader of the Trier tribe, Rick Burgess, led 8,000 elite warriors of the Trier tribe to kill.

Since all of Balenas's infantry had been thrown into the siege of Badawi, the only mobile force under his command was the chariot troops; With these 3,000 light chariot troops and 2,000 heavy chariot troops, Balenas has not yet officially entered the battle, and now it is time to take the 8,000 elite warriors of the Trier tribe to try their hand at the knife.

With the order of Balenas, the chariot force of five thousand men turned around and rumbled towards the Trier tribesmen who came to their aid; The leader of Rick Burgess had never seen a chariot unit, and he didn't know how to deal with such a majestic enemy army, so he had no choice but to lead his soldiers to launch a decisive charge!

Itrilius, the leader of the Badawi tribe who was guarding the city, naturally could not watch the army of the Trier tribe rushing to the aid of his tribe being attacked by the enemy like this; Therefore, he also sent 20,000 warriors to counterattack from the front at the same time, and met the warriors of the Trier tribe who came to reinforce them.

The swift rush of chariot troops, the first round of attack alone completely crushed the eight thousand elite soldiers of Rike Burgess; Countless warriors were crushed into flesh under the enemy's chariot, all the warriors as long as they were hit by the chariot, they were either dead or wounded, the scene on the battlefield was extremely bloody and cruel, and the tough Germanic warriors were directly crushed by the enemy for the first time!
