The reason why the jealous person suffers is because it is not only his own failures and frustrations that torment him, but also the successes of others!

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

Although Caesar proposed a plan to form a caravan, Caesar himself did not have the time and energy to do these things; So Caesar sent some of Flavies' guards to him, and asked them to go to Flavies with half a million gold coins and a plan to form a caravan. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

After leaving the specific task of forming Caesar's caravan to his most trusted grandfather, Caesar once again turned all his attention to the three legions; After the formation of the caravan, the respect of the soldiers of the three legions for Caesar has completely changed from respect for the Julius family to respect for Caesar himself.

Regardless of whether this plan to form a caravan succeeds or not, at least His Excellency Caesar's concern and love for the soldiers is not fake, and how can the soldiers not respect him if there is such a commander of a large army?

Even Caesar himself sensed this change in the mentality of the soldiers of the three legions; In the past, when the soldiers greeted Caesar, they would call Caesar "Your Excellency" as "Your Excellency", which was an obedience and respect for the orders of the Julius family.

Now, when all the soldiers saw Caesar, they would call Caesar "Lord Caesar", which was a sign of their obedience and respect for Caesar himself, completely abandoning the orders of Julius and Caesar's special status.

Not only those ordinary soldiers, but even those centurions and captains from minor nobles, had a completely different attitude towards Caesar than before; Even if they didn't care about the gains and losses of some money, their vision allowed them to see the impact of this Caesar caravan after it was formed.

Coupled with the fact that the leader of the Flavis family had appointed the teenage Lord Caesar as the commander of the army and led the powerful forces of three legions to the Poheim region, wasn't this implication obvious enough?

Especially the attitude of the three legion commanders towards Caesar, with the seniority and status of the three legion leaders, did they treat Caesar so respectfully? If it weren't for the arrangements made in advance by the leader of Flavies, how could these three legion commanders willingly obey Caesar's orders and maintain such a respectful attitude towards Caesar, this is simply an unreasonable move!

Judging from all the performances, the leaders of Flavis are cultivating Caesar as the next family leader, and if these shrewd little nobles can even see this thing, how can they lead their own family to survive in the Julius family?

Therefore, compared with the ordinary soldiers who did not understand the deep meaning and the legionnaires who expressed their subtlety, these centurions and captains were the most respectful towards Caesar; As the expansion of the Julius family grows larger and larger, the future of the Julius family is also getting brighter and brighter, in the context of such a great era, what is more important than following the next family leader?

As a result, the soldiers of these three legions maintained their respect and respect for Caesar from the bottom to the top; And Caesar himself is, as always, eating and drinking with ordinary soldiers, constantly improving his influence in the hearts of soldiers.

As time passed, Caesar's three legions finally reached the heart of Poheim twenty days later; At this time, the Lovosice tribe in the Poheim region had already received information about the arrival of the Roman army, and its tribal leader personally led an army of 20,000 to meet the Roman army.

The army of the House of Julius, three legions, had an army of nearly 30,000 men; In addition to the standard 7,000 main hoplites and equipment units per legion, there was also an auxiliary legion of 1,000 light infantry and 1,000 archers, as well as 500 Gallic cavalry, to accompany the main legion.

The 20,000-strong army of the Lovošice tribe was also mainly composed of spearmen and infantry, mixed with a large number of javelinmen and about 2,000 cavalry; From the point of view of the composition of the troops, the army of the Julius family still occupies an absolute advantage.

However, the strength of the Lovo Sece tribe should not be underestimated, and the army of Lovo Sece who appeared in front of Caesar was only about 15,000, and the whereabouts of about 5,000 troops were unknown; In Caesar's opinion, the 5,000 army should be the trump card of the Lovosice tribe!

However, where the 5,000 troops were hidden was not something Caesar was willing to think about, and in the face of absolute strength, all the intrigues and tricks were just paper tigers that could be pierced at a poke, and had no practical meaning at all.

After discovering the fifteen-thousand-strong army of the Lovosice tribe, Caesar did not waste any time in convening any battle meeting to discuss the plan of attack; As the commander-in-chief, he directly ordered the Fifth Legion of Rabinus and the Sixth Legion of Cecil to immediately begin an attack on the large army of the Lovosice tribe on the opposite side!

The armament units of the two legions were the first to come into operation, and the huge stone catapults had a longer range than the ballista guns, and only needed to be in the rear of the large army to attack; And those ballistas had to be pushed close to the enemy before they could attack.

In addition to the hoplites of the main battle corps, which are directly ready for battle and slowly advance forward, the light infantry and cavalry of the auxiliary corps are responsible for protecting the apparatus units from the threat of the enemy in the vicinity of the apparatus corps; The archers of the three auxiliary regiments were all drawn together, and were responsible for attacking the enemy with arrows after the attack of the equipment units was over, and coordinated with the advance of the hoplites.

As for the last remaining Sixth Legion of Varus, their task was to stand by Caesar's side and serve as a reserve for the entire battlefield; As soon as the enemy's hidden armies appear, the task of the Sixth Legion is to destroy them immediately!

The hoplites of the 5th and 7th Corps had advanced to a position less than two hundred meters from the enemy, and then stopped their advance, while the assembled equipment units began to attack; The frightening stones and whizzing bolts, combined with the sharp shells, were immediately stunned by the Lovosice tribal army, which had never seen these weapons before.

The unsuspecting army of the Lovosice tribe, under this round of weapons and weapons, countless soldiers were killed by the roaring crossbow arrows and artillery shells, and those soldiers who were hit by the stones falling from the sky were even more miserable, and the whole person was smashed into a blur of flesh and blood.

The leader of the Lovosice tribe, who reacted, ignored the wounded who were still wailing in pain, and directly gave the order to attack on the whole line to the remaining soldiers; Looking at the enemy troops running towards the whole army, the distance of two hundred meters was not enough for the equipment troops to launch another round of attacks, Rabinus and Cecil also decisively ordered the hoplites under their respective commands to immediately move forward to meet the enemy army!

The ballista units around the hoplites took the opportunity to begin to retreat under the cover of the light infantry and cavalry, but in fact, the main role of the equipment troops was to attack cities and fortresses, not field battles at all; The only role of these slow-attacking devices in the field may be to effectively demoralize the enemy through a powerful salvo, and the other practical effects are not very large.

The legions of Rabinus and Cecil each had six thousand hoplites, and the enemy was only thirteen or four thousand full after a round of armed attack; When the difference in numbers between the two sides was not large, how could the barbarian army be an opponent of the hoplites?

The crux of the matter was that when the two sides were still fifty meters apart, the three thousand auxiliary archers, hidden in the hoplites, also began their volley; And the javelinmen of the Lovosice tribe also threw their javelins at the right time.

The rain of arrows of the archers is still too powerful compared to the javelinmen's javelins; However, the army of the Lovosice tribe was a barbarian army without any armor, and the soldiers of the Julius family were hoplites with armor and shields.

After the enemy javelinmen threw their javelins, the javelins were met by the tightly assembled shield wall of the Julius army, and the warriors of the Lovosice tribe could only use their own flesh and blood to meet the rain of arrows of the Julius family.

The difference between the two sides in long-range strike forces is not large, but the results are very different; The unscathed hoplites of the House of Julius were the stark contrast to the barbarian army that had once again been killed and wounded.

After a few rounds of firing at each other, the infantry on both sides entered into a fierce hand-to-hand engagement; The barbarian spearmen and infantry suffered heavy casualties under the strong battle formations of the hoplites of the House of Julius, but they were never able to push the offensive any further.

At the same time that the two sides were in a scorching battle, two infantry suddenly appeared on the left and right flanks of the Julius family's army, each of which was about three thousand in size; These two armies were supposed to be the elite divisions of the Lovošice tribe in ambush, and the weapons and equipment they used were also significantly higher than the Lovošice tribe army in battle.

Unfortunately, it was not the empty flanks of the Fifth and Seventh Legions that were fighting against them, but the officers and men of the Sixth Legion who were waiting for them; The so-called elite of the barbarian army was nothing more than average compared to the hoplites of the Julius family, and there was no suspense in the frontal battle between the two sides, and the Sixth Legion quickly suppressed the 6,000 enemy troops that suddenly appeared.

At the same time, the fight in the frontal battle was soon over; The 14,000-strong army of the Lovosice tribe quickly collapsed after paying the price of more than 5,000 men and the death of their leader. In fact, their leader should not have been killed, but he was too anxious after discovering that his ambush army could not make a contribution; The consequence of his personal guards entering the war was that he was attacked by the Julius family.

After defeating the 20,000-strong army of the Lovosice tribe, the three legions of the House of Julius killed more than 6,000 enemy troops and captured 8,000 at the cost of only 1,000 killed and 2,000 wounded; Subsequently, the army of the Julius family, which was in pursuit of victory, took the capital of the Lovosice tribe in one fell swoop, and took advantage of the situation to occupy the entire Poheim region.
