Among other things, the messenger brought news of Aquitani.
After several German field legions arrived at the local area, they crushed the resistance of the local Romans through several decisive annihilation battles, and then slaughtered all the local Romans.
This bloody style not only overawed some Aquitani people, but also won the support of many tribes.
As a result, some of the most active Aquitaine tribes that resisted Roman rule, led by the Germans, formed a coalition and assembled an army of 15,000 men to join the German army. At the same time, from the entire Aquitaine The Danny region supplied food and supplies to the Germans.
Even some field legion generals are married to local tribal leaders - there is no doubt that this will greatly increase the influence of the Germans in the local area.
For this reason, when Vanius asked them to withdraw their troops, the commanders of several field legions were hesitant - they opened the situation in Aquitani, but they paid for it with the lives of the field legion soldiers - If they leave here, their previous efforts will be in vain.
So, at the moment, several field legions did not evacuate the Aquitaine area as requested by Vannius, but still stayed there to help the Aquitaine people train their troops and build city defense facilities.
Vannius could understand this situation, but he could not accept it - obviously, if every field legion under Vannius made such a decision, then he, the German king, would no longer have to do it. .
to this end. Vanius ordered the messenger to proceed immediately to Aquitaine. He severely rebuked the commanders of several field legions and asked them to immediately retreat quickly and return to the northern area of ??Crete Gaul to wait for further orders.
At the same time, Vannius can also understand the concerns of the commanders of the field legions - therefore, the commanders of the field legions can reveal some information to the Aquitannis about the war situation between Vannius and the Romans. ¡ª¡ªFor example, Vannius has wiped out tens of thousands of Roman legions one after another.
Moreover, Vannius also allowed the commanders of the field legions to promise in the name of the Germanic Kingdom to help the Aquitainens permanently liberate themselves from Roman rule - but in return, the Aquitainens needed to ensure Covenant with the Germans.
After arranging this matter. Vanius led the army straight to Nice - by now, he had fully understood that the legions Caesar had on hand were by no means just the ones mentioned by Caesar in the announcement - maybe. If he moves quickly enough, he can still catch up with one or two more Roman legions to be destroyed in Nice.
On the other hand, if you move too slowly and the Nice army is eaten by the Romans, or if you are overtaken by Caesar when you are leading an army to fight against the Roman army in Nice, then everything will be over.
With this in mind, Vanius sent a messenger again, asking the Macmanian Field Corps and the Britons to immediately evacuate the city of Nice, waiting for his army on the road north of the city of Nice, and at the same time set fire to the city of Nice.
Because now Vanius is not far from the city of Nice. So the envoy could arrive in almost a day.
As a result, by the afternoon of the next day, Vanius¡¯ army saw the sky-high flames and billowing smoke in the direction of Nice.
So, Vanius ordered another day and night journey, and finally reunited with the Macmanian Field Army and the British in the second half of the night
By this time, the city of Nice had been ¡°taken back¡± by the Romans
The 25th, 26th, 28th, and 29th legions were the ones who recaptured the city of Nice. Although in later generations they were not as prestigious as the 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th, 9th, and 10th legions. Brilliant, but these four legions are also old legions that participated in the African War and helped Caesar win the Battle of Thapsus,
Before he could express his gratitude to Caesar for his generosity, Vanius had already begun to feel faintly worried. Since Caesar could deliver the legion directly to Nice through the fleet, it was obvious that he could also deliver the legion directly to the city of Massilia.
Although there were Massilians guarding the city of Massilia, considering the actual situation that the Massilians had just been defeated by Caesar's siege a few years ago, the Massilians had no intention of facing Caesar's army. It is also foreseeable that he would hesitate to defect to Caesar again.
In this way, both the Massilians and the Albisci turned from Vannius's allies into enemies. Moreover, the Massilians and Albisci in the auxiliary legions formed by Vannius Westerners are no longer reliable
After careful consideration, Vanius, while letting the entire legion set up camp, summoned all the leaders of the Massilians and Albisci, and opened a small camp.meeting
The meaning of Vanius is very simple
First of all, he led the army to fight against the Romans, not for personal gain, but for the freedom and safety of all people
Secondly, the Romans were very powerful. Even though Vannius had united so many people who were willing to fight for freedom, he still could not completely destroy the Roman army on the frontal battlefield.
In order to win the final victory, Vanius must first retreat and wait for the right time to counterattack. This is just like a good swordsman who retracts his blade first, not out of cowardice, but in order to deliver a fatal blow.
The current retreat of Vannius¡¯ army is a planned and orderly temporary retreat, rather than a defeat to the Romans
However, when Vannius retreats, the Massilians and Albisci, who have decided to fight for freedom, are likely to suffer, because their hometowns are closest to the Romans and are also close to the sea.
In order to protect the interests of the Massilians and Albisci from being killed by the Romans for supporting him, Vannius suggested that the Massilians and Albisci temporarily surrender and pretend to be Forced to take refuge in myself
In this way, when the Roman army approached Massilia, the Massilians and Albisci could provide material support to the Romans in exchange for peace and security until Vannius defeated Caesar's army. In the army, these two brave peoples whose strength has been preserved can rise up against the Romans and win freedom for themselves.
Therefore, the conclusion is that Vannius asked the Massilians and Albisci to leave their army at night and quickly return to the city of Massilia
In this way, firstly, it can increase the defensive strength of the city of Massilia and make the Romans think carefully before directly attacking the city of Massilia. Secondly, it can also allow the Massilia and Albissi to declare that they have not sent troops to support With Vannius like this, these two nations should be able to be preserved in this war.
When they began to hear what Vannius said, all the leaders of Massilia and Albisi became nervous, and at the same time they resolutely rejected Vannius¡¯s request.
Putting themselves in their shoes, they thought that at this time, Vanius should hold on to their helpers and hostages tightly.
As for what Vannius is doing now, there is no doubt that it is to test them, so as to "eliminate" those guys who are willing to surrender to the Romans.
As for the method of elimination, those bloody crosses have provided the best illustration
However, when Vannius firmly stated that this was his established plan, an order rather than a proposal, a request rather than a consultation, both the Massilians and the Albisci were shocked.
Then, the Massilians and Albissi people, who were full of emotion and shame, praised Vannius for his nobility, thanked him for his great help and consideration to the Massilians and Albissi people, and said that they would never forget Vannius. Nius' kindness: If Vannius wins, they will immediately respond to Vannius with all their strength; and even if Vannius loses, they will find ways to provide some help to Vannius,
Vanius just laughed at these assurances
Unlike the Bilgees, Britons, and Gauls, the Massilians are not a nation with vast land and a large population, but are just residents of a city.
Even including their allies the Albisci, they are at best a larger tribe. Although they made a fortune by selling slaves in the Gallic War, their overall strength will not change.
With such low strength, they are destined to be the icing on the cake and unable to provide help in times of need.
In other words, if Vannius wins, then the Massilians and Albissi people will naturally stand up to support him, but the support at this time is dispensable for Vannius.
And if Vanius fails, they will have done their best by not adding insult to injury.
In fact, for Vannius, the biggest use of the Massilians and Albissi at the moment is that when he passes through this area, he will not be constantly harassed and blocked in his race with Caesar. , this kind of fly-like disturbance from local snakes is the most fatal
After patiently speaking some words of encouragement to the Massilians and Albisci, Vannius sent them and their troops out of their camp.
After that, Vanius found Pluto again
After a period of training, this mixed-race rebel leader already has a fierce military aura.
But it is obvious that there is still a gap between his ability and Vanius¡¯s requirements.?? distance
But the problem is that neither Vanius nor he has time anymore
After briefly asking about the training status of Pluto and his army, Vanius made a request that Pluto also lead his army to leave the camp, quickly go north, and hide in the countryside as soon as possible.
After Caesar¡¯s main army leaves after chasing Vannius¡¯ team, Pluto can show off his skills in this area. This will not only be a huge exercise for Pluto, but also a great help to Vannius.
After careful consideration for a while, Pluto agreed to Vannius's request, then gathered his team and left under the night like the Massilians and Albisci.
