"Golden Armor?" After listening to Allocke's words, Joseph pondered in his heart for a moment, and asked with a smile: "This name is a bit imposing, but is this guy really as powerful as you say?"

Ya Luo nodded with a serious expression: "Yes, I served in the Moxi Army in my early years, and I also heard the seniors in the army talk about this guy's deeds." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 Speaking of which, although he is a general of an enemy country, from the perspective of a soldier, he is indeed a legendary and outstanding general!"

According to Yaroe, this Barcelus was originally born into a small tribal aristocratic family in Macedonia, but because he was not the eldest son, he did not inherit the power of the tribe. So he simply joined the army near his hometown, and later became a petty officer in a border area.

A few years later, war broke out between the Macedonian kingdom and the steppes. Baseileus's hometown happened to be in the eastern plains of Macedonia on the border with the steppe people, and he was soon embroiled in the war, which gave Barcelus, who was still a minor officer at the time, a chance to make a name for himself.

Because of his outstanding performance in the war, Barcellus was promoted to four ranks a year later, becoming the general of the army in that place. After that, this war maniac was even more out of control, not only did he stand firm when the Macedonians were relieved and retreated, but he used his few troops to launch a counterattack.

At that time, the cavalry of the steppe people was the strongest, and almost no country could defeat, in fact, even now, in the three major empires of mankind, there are very few armies that can compete with the steppe cavalry. But at that time, Barcellus formed a class that could compete with the steppe cavalry - heavy armored spearmen!

This brilliant military strategist creatively used heavy armor and spears to turn the weak infantry into a formidable arm that could compete with the steppe people. After this, he used a phalanx of thousands of infantry recruited from his homeland to be almost invincible in the flat eastern plains of Macedonia!

However, such a move also attracted the attention of the main cavalry regiment of the steppe people's westward expedition, and the steppe royal court issued an order to gather a strong army of 80,000 cavalry in the western frontier, and almost half of the troops on the Geerqin steppe were withdrawn, and the large army was directed towards Macedonia.

The Macedonian kingdom immediately appointed this guy as the commander of the legion, and was responsible for leading all the forces of the eastern border tribes to block the iron cavalry of the steppe people, but almost all the discerning people believed that this guy would definitely die. Because at that time, there were less than 50,000 soldiers in the five legions in eastern Macedonia, and the spear corps under Baselus was only more than 10,000. All the infantry regiments together were not as large as the cavalry of the steppes.

But Barcelus embraced it, and then showed his military prowess. Taking advantage of the mountainous terrain of Macedonia, the inconvenience of the cavalry, and the loss of mobility, he was keenly aware of the problem that the steppe people were too aggressive and had insufficient logistics.

So he deliberately exposed his weaknesses and lured the steppe people deep into the Macedonian hinterland, and then suddenly gathered his forces and besieged the main cavalry force of more than 80,000 steppe people in the valley of the eastern mountain forest. The last six Macedonian legions worked together for nearly a month to almost completely annihilate the strongest cavalry army on the continent at that time.

After this battle, Macedonia completely subdued the steppe people, and the steppe people immediately withdrew their troops to negotiate peace, and were even forced to cut out a large area of the steppe in western Xinjiang as compensation. In the following ten years, the steppe people did not launch any large-scale attacks on Macedonia, but repeatedly harassed Moxi of the Bright Empire to the east.

Such a big victory naturally made his prestige resound throughout the Macedonian army, and he was even praised as the "first god of war" by the Macedonians.

But this guy has one of the biggest drawbacks, which is that he is too arrogant. Originally, with his military exploits, it was entirely possible for the king to divide a large territory and become a large tribal nobleman. However, he repeatedly contradicted his superiors, the tribal nobles who were in charge of the military and political affairs in the Macedonian army. Even his position is not because of much trust in him, but more because of some schadenfreude.

Therefore, although the credit for this battle is great, it has been mixed up by many people with ulterior motives from the middle, but it has not left much benefit. It's just that he was lukewarmly left in the east, and his army was only one or two hundred thousand people, serving as a corps commander on the eastern border. There is a lot of meaning that I don't care about it.

But even so, this Barcelus is definitely a well-known figure in the Macedonian army.

When Joseph heard this, he was a little surprised, he couldn't imagine that Macedonia would send such a big man to the east. However, it is such a powerful opponent, he actually led his troops across the border and approached Moxi Pass, no wonder the pass would fall so quickly, it seems that the Sixth Army should just be a feint, first mess up the situation in the northwest, and then take advantage of the chaos to send troops.

But he also had some doubts in his heart, the Macedonians couldn't invade Moxi at all, but it was somewhat strange to let such a strong army invade Moxi, is there any other intention in it?

............

"Father asked Baseileus's Eighth Army to send troops to Moxi, of course, he had his intentions. ”

In the Macedonian camp, the young nobleman looked at a secret scroll of sheepskin in front of him, and then, although he threw it on the table, shook his head a little carelessly, and said to the brute force warrior beside him:

"Do you know that Barcellus is known as the god of our empire, and the Eighth Legion under his command is a strong army that even the steppe people fear, and it can be said to be the first main force in the eastern frontier of our empire. But with such a strong army pressing the border, the situation in the northwest of the Bright Empire is like this, even if it is a thousand miles of fertile land outside the Moxi Pass, it is not impossible......"

The young nobleman had a hint of essence in the corners of his eyes, but then he shook his head again, and said with some regret: "It's a pity, there is always this vast Geerqin grassland in between. If you go east, you must first subdue the steppe wolves in the Aihang Mountains, otherwise why do you need a strong army of Barcelus?

I'm using him just to deter these steppe wolves. After all, we have benefited from Moxi, and we always have to go back from the grassland, and if these steppe wolves are covetous, my Sixth Legion will not be able to stop these guys. ”

Although the young nobleman said it easily, there was a bit of a playful smile in his tone: "After all, General Baseleus is our Macedonian god of war, let such a legendary figure detain the Xiongguan of Moxi for me, maybe we will come back one day...... Moreover, wouldn't it be interesting to let the God of War General cut off for me and resist the Northwest Army of the Bright Empire?

I'm waiting here without pain, and naturally someone will clear the trouble behind me, so why not. I just don't know which one is stronger than the cavalry in the northwest and the steppe people? haha......"

When he said this, he suddenly smiled and said as if talking to himself, "You know, this is my first expedition. I'm afraid you don't know, the Macedonian royal family has always had such a tradition...... If you want to fight for the throne, you must first have a trial of killing tens of thousands! Killing tens of thousands of people can get the chance to ascend to the throne, so presumably my two brothers in the north are also waiting for my performance!

Speaking of this tradition, although I am not very interested, but tens of thousands of enemies have been annihilated...... Haha, it's not a wonderful thing! There are more than 100,000 rebels in the valley corridor......

What he said was light, but the brute force warriors on the side had already heard the cold sweat, even if he was a fierce and fierce warrior, he couldn't help but be a little frightened:

If you want to fight for the throne, you must first destroy 10,000 enemies, and use the flesh and blood of 10,000 people to ensure the king's killing decision and the inheritance of the strong...... This is just a tradition of the Macedonian royal family?! )
