"Chapter 562: Mysterious Friend"
When you're choking on water, what other drink can you drink to get that sip down?
- Aristotle (one of the great philosophers, scientists, and educators in the ancient history of the world)
The eight thousand elite warriors of the Trier tribe were thus crushed by a never-before-seen chariot force, which was a big shock to Rike Burgess, who had always prided himself on the formidable fighting power of the Germanic warriors; In particular, the fact that the enemy did not pay any casualties at all, and the soldiers of the Trier tribe suffered heavy casualties, which made Rike Burgess find it even more difficult to accept. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
In the first round alone, the enemy's chariot units inflicted nearly half of the casualties on Rikerburgess's 8,000 soldiers; Although not many of them were killed directly, the soldiers who lay on the ground and wept and wailed made Rick Burgess feel even more uncomfortable.
What made Rike Burgess even more unbearable was that the enemy's chariot troops had lost less than thirty chariots, and the casualties were only one or two hundred; Such a contrast really made Rick Burgess feel ashamed and embarrassed!
No matter how powerful the enemy is, the Germanic warriors should give up to the powerful enemy to see the bravery and strength of the Germanic warriors; So Rick Burgess, after the enemy's chariot troops had rushed through his own battle formation, jumped off his horse, drew his tomahawk from his back, and came to the front of the warriors, shouting to all the soldiers who were in great fear:
"O Germanic warriors, do the casualties of three or four thousand of your compatriots make you lose confidence in victory? Have you been defeated by a mighty enemy? If your answer is yes, then it is up to me to prove the prowess of the Germanic warriors; We, the warriors of the Germanic people, have always been fearless symbols and powerful beings on the battlefield!
Perhaps, we are not invincible warriors, and we will encounter enemies far stronger than us; But so what? Fighting the weak has never been the pursuit of our Germanic warriors, and defeating the strong is what we Germanic warriors should do!
Those who fear the enemy, you are not worthy of the title of Germanic warrior, which is a glory that only a true warrior deserves, and you can now lay down your battle axe and flee the battlefield; Brave men who are willing to join me in showing the enemy what a true Germanic warrior is, come behind me and let the blood of the enemy wash away the shame we have just had! ”
There was nothing shocking about Rick Burgess's words, but his words succeeded in arousing the sense of honor of all the Germanic warriors present; What kind of warrior is a true Germanic warrior, a true Germanic warrior will never be afraid of anyone!
All the warriors of the Trier tribe could not help but feel ashamed of their cowardice, their faces flushed, and they clenched the battle axes in their hands, and then resolutely walked behind Rick Burgess, lined up in a neat formation, ready to meet the enemy's chariot charge again, and determined to let the enemy have a good idea of what a true Germanic warrior is.
This time, the British chariot troops, which were slaughtering again, were still rushing with a bang; Standing at the forefront of the warriors, Rick Burgess not only did not feel any fear, but his slightly trembling hands revealed the excitement and belligerence in his heart.
A chariot that bore the brunt of the battle was getting closer and closer to Rick Burgess, getting closer and closer, as it was about to crush Rick Burgess; Rick Burgess suddenly gave way to the side, and then Rick Burgess jumped into the chariot that was speeding at high speed, and after jumping into the chariot, he killed four enemies on the heavy chariot with a single slash.
With Rickbergess's example, the other Germanic warriors began to seize the enemy's chariots; It turned out that without the great force of Rick Burgess, the method of capturing the chariot was not a good method, and at least more than two-thirds of the warriors failed to capture the chariot and paid with their own lives.
However, there were also many Germanic warriors who did not take this approach against the enemy chariot troops, and they just stood in place, and when the enemy chariot approached, they quickly brandished their tomahawks and slashed at the horses dragging the chariots.
How could those war horses have endured such a chop? It often only takes the courage of a warrior to die to make a chariot under the command of Barenas roll over on its side; This is the biggest flaw of the chariot troops, as long as you kill those horses dragging the chariots, you can make these seemingly invincible chariots immediately roll over on the spot!
After a small number of fighters led by Rike Burgess succeeded in capturing the enemy's chariot, they were immediately attacked by other chariots, but the overall charging formation of the enemy's chariot troops was completely disrupted, and even the speed was helplessly reduced.
In this way, the success rate of those warriors who attacked the war horses was greatly increased; In an instant, the Trier tribe warriors of Rickburgess inflicted extremely effective heavy losses on the most elite chariot troops of the British barbarians!
At this time, the Germanic warriors in the city also successfully opened a gap in the encirclement of the British barbarians, and thousands of Germanic warriors in the city quickly rushed to the battlefield where the Trier tribal warriors fought with the British barbarian chariot troops, and launched an attack on the rampaging British barbarian chariot troops from the flank.
In fact, the chariot units of the British barbarians relied on the powerful impact of the chariots to attack; Once the advantage of speed is lost, these chariot units are nothing more than lambs to the slaughter under the attack of the Germanic warriors.
When Balenas sensed that the chariot troops could no longer fight, he immediately sent the British warriors who had rushed back from the direction of the other three gates to quickly reinforce the chariot troops; If the situation continues like this, today's battle could turn into a life-and-death battle between the British barbarians and the Badawi tribes.
Needless to say, it is the combined forces of the Badawi and Trier tribes that now have a local advantage on the battlefield; However, with the rapid return of the British barbarian armies in the other three directions, the battle would soon be taken over by the superior British barbarians.
At that time, the combined forces of the Badawi tribe and the Trier tribe will be at risk of annihilation; This was a consequence that was unacceptable to all, and it was the result that Rike Burgess and Iterius could not let it happen.
As a result, Rikerburgess could only order his warriors, reinforced by friendly forces, to abandon the battle in front of him and retreat to Badawi City with his wounded warriors; Even Riche Burgess gave such an order, and the warriors of the Badawi tribe would not fight any more uselessly, and they also guarded the wounded warriors of the Trier tribe, and quickly withdrew from the gap.
Under the combined command of Ricus Burgess and Itrilius, all the Badawi warriors who had left the city and the Trier tribe warriors who had rushed to reinforce them withdrew to Badawi before the British barbarian armies from the other three directions returned; The army of the British barbarians also besieged the city of Badawi again, so that there was no gap in the encirclement outside the city.
In today's battle, the 8,000 elite warriors of the Trier tribe led by Rick Burgess himself died 4,000 before they entered the city; And the Germanic warriors in the city also paid the price of nearly 3,000 casualties because of the warriors who went out of the city to rescue the Trier tribe.
In other words, Ric Burgess led 8,000 soldiers to reinforce the Badawi tribe, but in fact, the Trier tribe and the Badawi tribe paid the price of nearly 8,000 casualties in order to allow reinforcements to enter Badawi City; In terms of quantity, such reinforcements are worthless, but in reality they are very valuable.
Not to mention that while the Germanic warriors paid the price of nearly 8,000 casualties, they also inflicted at least 5,000 casualties on the British barbarian army; From the point of view of morale, the arrival of reinforcements from the Trier tribe led by Rike Burgess also gave the Germanic warriors guarding Badawi the courage and motivation to continue to hold on.
Because the Badawi tribe, which had been blockaded by the British barbarian army, got a definite news from the mouth of Rike Burgess; That is, the invading army of the Julius family has completely withdrawn from the Germanic lands, and the leader of the Mainz tribe, Odovaka, is about to lead a combined army of several tribes to counterattack the Norikum region of the Julius family.
More importantly, after successfully resolving the crisis in the Germanic homeland, the leader of the Dam tribe, His Excellency Arminius, was leading a coalition of 35,000 troops of the Dam, Goth, Macomani, and Bodenshom tribes to the city of Badawi.
As long as the Badawi tribe could hold out in the city for five days, Arminius's army of 35,000 would rush to the city; At that time, the invading British barbarian army will not have to be afraid, the situation in the Lower Germanic region will be completely reversed, and the Germanic counterattack will officially begin!
However, there is another special piece of information provided by the Tragic Dead; According to the Tragic Dead to Ric Burgess, the Alesian tribes of the Gallic barbarians had been destroyed, and the Belgian region behind the British barbarians would soon be occupied by other powers, but this mysterious power was a friend of the Tragic Dead and a friend of the Germanic peoples.
Rickbergess did not understand the Tragic Dead's claims, but, out of trust in the Tragic Dead, Ricus Burgess informed Iterius of the information they provided; In the same way, Atrilius was puzzled by this, he did not know what kind of power this so-called mysterious force was, and he did not know why they were friends with the Germanic people.
