- The Celtic slinging skills are indeed well-deserved, no less than the famous Rhodes Island slingers and Balearic Islands slingers living in the Earth Sea. The Germans who attacked from behind began to suffer. Their tall The body makes aiming easier for the Celtics on the hill.
After a while, the Germans who rushed in front fell down, and blood flowed from their heads and bodies, staining the ground under them red. These Germans were really brave. No matter how injured they were, they all No one snorted, and the rest of the people seemed to be inspired by this scene to become wilder, and they rushed more and more bravely. The young man in the leader, wearing leopard skin armor, was particularly brave. Without stopping, he left his companions behind.
Suddenly, after dodging several stones, a fist-sized stone came towards the young man. He was unable to dodge and was hit hard on the shoulder. Blood immediately flowed all over half of his body. It was a stone hidden in the It was thrown by a Celtic kid behind a big stone on the roadside. The young man shook his body, ignored the wound, then rushed forward, and plunged the short spear into the body of a Dalmasian mountain man. While the stabbed man's wound spurted out blood, he kicked He kicked the Celtic down, and the short spear he pulled out stabbed another Celtic. When he pulled out the bloody spear tip from the body of the fifth Celtic, some Germans People also followed. £® £® £® £® £®
Not long after the Germans rushed forward, Gaius ordered the legion's phalanx to move forward. Under a little sunlight leaking from the gaps in the clouds, the Roman phalanx looked extremely powerful. The neatly arranged shields made the entire formation look Extremely thick, the bronze helmets reflect the color of the metal, like the waves of the ocean; the stars shining on the tips of the spears seem to pierce the thick clouds above their heads; from time to time, in the formation, A flash of lightning flashed in the middle, which was the terrifying light of a Roman dagger.
Gaius went against the custom of Roman commanders and walked at the front of the phalanx. He looked at the defeated troops running past him with disdain and soon arrived at the foot of the mountain. Here he stopped and looked at the mountain intently. : The little advantage the Germans had in the previous charge gradually disappeared. As the Celtics retreated step by step, their offense became more and more difficult.
"My lord, it's too unsafe here. Please step back!" Commanders at all levels of the legion ran over sweating profusely. Gaius did not look at them, looked around, and instead moved closer to one Walk up the hill.
There had just been a brief battle on this hillock. A slain Roman legionary centurion was lying a few steps away from his feet, his lifeless eyes bulging outwards and staring feebly at the sky. There was a big hole in the punctured abdomen, and colorful intestines flowed out from there.
The ground was covered with dirt and piled up under him. £® £® £® £® £®
Gaius didn¡¯t seem to see this at all. After walking up the hill, he continued to focus on the battle situation on the mountain. The officers who followed Gaius were stunned by his actions and began to dissuade him more fiercely. After a while, I heard a few words coming out of his mouth: "I'm right here!"
Gaius¡¯s personal slaves secretly waved their hands to the officers. They knew better and stopped talking. They just quietly ordered people to carry the body away.
After watching for a while, Gaius spoke: "Let the auxiliary soldiers withdraw. We can capture this stronghold tomorrow."
Hearing the bugle sound at the foot of the mountain, the German auxiliary soldiers slowly retreated. The young man stayed a few dozen paces at the end of the team. It was not until his people were out of the range of the Celtics that he suddenly shot towards the sun. The Manchester team ran away. It seemed that the Celtics were also moved by his bravery and did not throw stones at him.
Looking at the gloomy expression of the German Gaius who came to the foot of the hill, he softened a little, "There was a young man who performed very bravely in the battle just now. I want to see him."
The young man's name was Tebius. He took two hundred Germans and took the initiative to join the Romans and was willing to fight for the Romans. His team performed very well in this battle, and because of this he got Praise from Gaius.
Just after letting Tebius leave, Daikius hurried in and said that he had caught two strange people.
Or to be more precise, they didn¡¯t catch him, but they took the initiative to deliver it to his door.
These two people spoke pure, the most popular language in Rome, spoke generously, and seemed to be of noble birth, but they could not produce any documents with them that the local consul could prove their identity.
These words made Gaius a little curious, so he thought about it and ordered Daikius to bring the people in.
What Gaius saw were two young men, one calling himself Ernst. Alexson. Feng. Brahm, a man who calls himself Manfred. Albrecht. Feng. RichterhoFinn.
What a strange name, Gaius thought to himself, probably from Egypt or somewhere further away. £® £® £® £® £®
"We come from the province of Dalmatia." The man who called himself Ernst. The young man in Brahm was very respectful: "It is such an honor to meet you, Lord Archon Gaius."
Ah, they are from the province of Dalmatia. Gaius nodded: "Then please tell me, what are you doing here? Why don't you have any documents on you to prove yourself?"
Gaius still had some favorable impressions of them. The two people in front of him were young and full of firepower. Moreover, they seemed polite and well-educated. What's even more rare is that their accents really make me feel more at home.
Since I came here, I have been facing those vulgar soldiers all day long, which really ruins my mood. £® £® £® £® £®
Facing the consul¡¯s inquiry, Ernst. Brahm had no time to think and said: "We are businessmen. We heard that the respected Lord Gaius Julius Caesar was completing the great cause of conquering the entire Gaul. We smelled business opportunities from it, so we organized a batch of goods to Try your luck in this dangerous place."
Gaius smiled.
These bold businessmen, no matter how fierce the battlefield is, you can always see their presence.
Ernst. Brahm continued: "But unfortunately, our adventure failed to succeed this time. We were attacked by barbarians on the road and lost almost all our goods and property. All our companions were killed by the barbarians. Only Manfred and I ran out. £®
But when we return to the province of Dalmatia, the local governor will be willing to prove it for us. £® £® £® £® £® £® "
In fact, without any proof, Gaius has completely believed in them. Such an accent
Such talk is not something that enemies can fake.
"Damn barbarians, nail them all!" Gaius was obviously very sympathetic to their plight: "Don't worry, I will send a team of soldiers to help you regain your property. But before that, I have something to do. If you want, you can come with me."
"That is our honor, Lord Archon."
When Ernst said this, he and Richthofen looked at each other, then smiled at each other. £® £® £® £® £®
A dozen bloody objects were thrown at the Roman phalanx from the mountain. One of them was thrown very far and was actually thrown to the foot of the hill. A Roman soldier picked it up, looked at it, screamed and threw it to the ground - it was the head of a Roman!
It turned out that the Celts in the stronghold saw the enemy retreating and boldly moved down a certain distance. Then, whoever had the idea, they threw the severed Roman heads into the legionary square with slings. . Seeing that this method caused a commotion of panic among the Romans, these mountain people were so happy that they smashed everyone's head off the mountain with increasing vigor.
"The signal soldiers went to the foot of the mountain and shouted, tell the barbarians that as long as they surrender, I will spare their lives!" Gaius looked at the scene indifferently and gave the order slowly.
Looking at the signal soldiers running down the hill, the officers of the legion all thought that Gaius was confused and asked the Celts to surrender at this time. Only a madman would think of it.
After a while, the signal soldier ran back, "Sir" He hesitated and did not continue.
"It doesn't matter, what did those savage guys say? Tell me."
"Commander Gaius, they said They said: Let you find people with wings to capture this stronghold." The signal soldier swallowed his saliva and said the Celtic reply, and at the same time Bursts of laughter came from the mountains.
Gaius snorted coldly. £® £® £® £® £®
In the Roman legion camp, there were two open spaces behind the commander's tent and next to the commander's tent. One was used as a square, and the other was used as a place for the treasurer to store supplies. On both sides of the square and the financial officer's camp are the camps of the elite soldiers of the banner; opposite the square, the commander's tent and the financial officer's tent, about a hundred feet apart, there are also the camps of the elite soldiers of the banner, thus forming a "pin"-shaped defense system for the command center. . Now, according to Gaius's order, except for the sentries and the seriously wounded, all the soldiers of the six battalions of the Twentieth Legion lined up in several large squares and gathered in the square.
Gaius has shining greaves on his legs, colorful armor on his chest, a crimson cloak draped over his shoulders, a large bunch of cockscomb-decorated war helmet on his head, and a commander's scepter in his hand, standing majestically. In front of the commander's tent, Nuo glanced at his subordinates coldly.Not even a cough could be heard in the big square.
"Legion flag bearer, come to the front!" The commander of the legion had a very stern face, and there was no gentleness in his tone.
Wearing a Gallic helmet and mail, the legionary standard-bearer strode forward holding an eagle banner with "DEGKX" written on it and a wild boar embroidered underneath.
"Look at the pattern on the eagle banner of your legion! What's on it? It's a wild boar! What is a wild boar? A wild boar is a ferocious beast! It's a beast that charges forward without fear!" Gaius was furious: "Your performance today Are you worthy of this military flag? "What a majestic name!" I want to force you to cherish it - those who escaped from me today will come out!"
About two hundred soldiers bowed their heads and stood up. A cruel smile appeared on Gaius's face: "You pray to the gods! Captain Ax and Stick, execute the tithe!"
"Commander Gaius, Commander Gaius, please forgive them. Today's failure is not entirely due to their lack of courage. The terrain is too unfavorable. Such a punishment is too harsh for them." This cruel order announced Finally, the officers were shocked, and then the legion commander took the lead, and they all pleaded for mercy to the soldiers.
"When you become the commander, forgive yourself. These pleas did not move Gaius's heart at all. He waved his hand viciously and said, "Execute! "
A monotonous and solemn drum beat sounded. The first person to be drawn to death was a young soldier with light yellow hair and a few freckles on his face. He looked again in horror at the small stone painted black in his hand, as if he did not dare to Believing in his eyes, he immediately turned his lips and cast a desperate look on his companions. The nine soldiers in the group with him all lowered their heads, avoiding the eyes that asked for help.
The axe-wielding captains behind Gaius grabbed the soldier and stripped him of his armor in a few strokes. The two captains grabbed his hands tightly and pushed him to the ground.
The young soldier's face was scratched by the rough stones on the ground. The blood flowing from the wounds on his face mixed with the dust on his face, forming several streaks of brown-red turbid liquid that slowly flowed downward.
The young Roman soldier raised his head desperately, shook his bruised lips and turned over the pink and tender flesh, and screamed sharply: "Help me!!! Help!!! Have mercy on me!!! I don't want to die. ! ! I¡¯m only nineteen years old!
The captains turned a deaf ear to his shouts. One captain held a long leather whip and struck him hard on his exposed back with a "snap" sound. The broken flesh and blood splashed everywhere along with the tip of the whip. , a terrible whip mark appeared on the originally smooth back, and the screams caused by pain replaced the pleas for mercy. Gradually, the sound from the human vocal cords dropped, leaving only the whip mark made of animal skin. The sound of breaking the air was a sharp roar. This unknown animal was conquered by humans during its lifetime, but it was unexpected that its leather would conquer humans after death.
After the whipping was over, the two captains dragged the soldier, who had fainted from fright or pain, to the prepared tree stump. It was not until the drum beat started to beat faster that the young soldier with a bloody back could barely open his eyes. He just He saw a bright light flash in the sky, and an extremely huge ax appeared in front of his eyes. £® £® £® £® £®
The axe-wielding captain who cut off the first head wiped the bone fragments and blood on the ax blade with a rag, kicked the head aside, and looked at the next group of ten soldiers who were about to draw lots. Everyone who met him was cold and cold. The soldiers who looked at him shuddered and lowered their heads as if looking for something on the ground.
The monotonous drum beat sounded again unhurriedly, and this time the person chosen was a tall captain of ten. His face suddenly lost all the blood and became as pale as the shroud.
He glanced at the head that had just been chopped off on the ground. The neatly severed organs of the young soldier's neck were exposed, but his eyes had no sign of life and looked like two black holes.
"If I had known, I would have fought with those barbarians. Either way, we would have died." The tenth captain murmured and let the captain drag him down. £® £® £® £® £®
After a while, eight bloody human heads were placed on the ground. Gaius licked his lips with satisfaction, as if this scene had relieved some of his irritability. He glanced sideways at the officers behind him. They all looked pale and were obviously not standing so steadily due to their accelerated heartbeats.
"Useless guy! Today's Romans, hum!" He made no secret of his contempt for his compatriots, and then he saw Ernst who looked calm. Brahm.
"My friend, what do you think?" the Roman commander asked the businessman he had just recognized.
"Your verdict is very fair,"??I have heard of a barbarian custom. According to the custom of the Germans, there is no need to draw lots. None of these two hundred cowards will survive! "Wang Weiyi shrugged.
The people next to him found it hard to believe that such terrible words came from the mouth of such a young man, but he himself had a relaxed expression, which he took for granted.
Gaius subconsciously flicked his fingers, which indicated that something was going on in his mind. Suddenly, he stopped thinking and pointed his finger in the direction of the camp gate, "Who is that person?"
Several soldiers and a civilian-looking man in brown shirts had just walked into the military camp carrying a deer. The legion commander who was startled by Gaius took one look at him and breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Oh, that's me freeing the slaves." , I sent him hunting."
"What happened to the Roman soldiers next to him? Who allowed you to use Roman soldiers to serve your own appetite? Who gave you the power? Tell me!" Gaius was furious and stared at the legion commander. official.
"I, I, didn'tI thought"
"You think?" Gaius suddenly put away his anger and his tone became calmer, "You think that my order to order all soldiers to assemble can be an exception for someone of your status, right?"
"No, no! My lord, my lord, I swear I have never thought of it this way!" the legion commander defended himself tremblingly.
"But you have already done this!" Gaius roared: "Colonel, take off his legion commander's uniform! From today on, you are just an ordinary centurion, get in the queue!"
After the original legion commander staggered to the queue in the square, no one spoke anymore, only the sound of whipping and axe-chopping kept ringing. It wasn't until the nineteen twenty soldiers of the Legion were placed in front of Gaius that this man who was now as terrifying as Hades in the eyes of the soldiers broke the silence here:
"I said that we can capture this stronghold tomorrow. In order to fulfill this promise, I need some people who are good at climbing and brave!" Gaius looked around at the Roman soldiers below: "The first one to climb to the top of the mountain will receive ten thousand The second place will receive 9,500 sesterces, the third place will receive 9,000 sesterces, and the top twenty in descending order will all receive prizes!¡± - Didn't finish reading?
