Augustus Under the Horseshoe - v2 Chapter 565

Gaul Province, Belgium-Agripina

Aetius was lying on the bed tiredly, his mithril chain mail was in pain.

The once young psionicist has now transformed into a military commander under one person in the Western Empire and above ten thousand people. However, his handsome face has also been eroded by the wind and frost of the years, and no one can think of the fullness in front of him. The man with a face of vicissitudes is actually just a young man in his twenties.

Commander Zhan sighed slightly, and began to think back to the empire for five months. When Painhurs won a great victory in Greece, he also made a lifeless contribution in the provinces of Gaul.

Immediately after Aetius arrived in the Gaul theater, the situation was extremely dangerous. The comparison between the Roman army and the barbarian army reached a terrifying one to ten, but in his hands, only twenty were defeated from the front and had not yet obtained The trimmed battle group.

When Aetius started, there were really fewer than 15,000 professional soldiers, who were still loyal to Gordontius’ eldest son-this number of soldiers accounted for only one-tenth of the Gaul theater. The other battle groups are loyal to the other battle group leaders. Even if the empire splits the 10,000-man army into a thousand-man army, the warlord tradition in the Roman army is still very serious.

The external barbarians are pressing on the territory, and the internal warlord factions are numerous, but it doesn’t matter. Aetius has the assistance of the tribe: Painhurs naturally knows how high this person will reach in the future, and it is like a stock market on the psychic. In the blood, he was also here at Attila and learned a lot of ideas and tactics from the future.

In this desperate situation, the psionics became sellers, and at the same time, through the large amount of gold provided by the tribe, they began to buy people’s hearts. The barbarians with their money-eyes instigated fifteen battle regiments in just half a month under the heavy reward. The power of Aetius suddenly doubled, and his control of troops reached one-fifth of the Gaul Theater, and he was one of the three largest warlords in the area.

Immediately afterwards, the psionicist conspired with two other warlords, and he gave out news: The Almanni tribe’s homeland is rich in gems, and they recently looted a gold mine in Gaul, and now they have money in their pockets.

Not to mention ordinary jewelry, now even the king’s guards, shields, helmets, and sword grids are decorated with bright gems. Under the temptation of huge profits, the three major warlords each took 10,000 elite soldiers out of the defense zone and raided the Almanni stronghold at night. This **** battle lasted for a full day and night. Under the concentrated offensive of the Romans, the Alemanni were left alone, and most of them were killed. The remaining soldiers all escaped from the ruined imperial city.

In this battle, Aetius took the lead, charged at the forefront of all soldiers, used terrifying psychic powers, and shredded the enemy in front of him with the bloodiest and most cruel means, so that the soldiers could see themselves. Unparalleled powerful.

The command center, which has been in the rear command center, was raided by the [Alemanni Assassin]. The opponent gathered all the masters in despair and started a beheading operation. All two warlords fell, and their heads were full of stab wounds. .

It is said that that night, when the Alemanni was defeated, these barbaric noble elites launched a retaliatory beheading operation: for some reason, countless Germans suddenly broke the Roman barrier that prohibited teleportation. One after another welled out from the shadows.

Their bodies were completely shrouded in black mist, with only two eyes, revealing a permeable red light. These guys roared inhumanly, their fingers were as sharp as a razor, and the entire command system was slaughtered in an instant, and only Aetius teleported. Successfully ran away. After slaughtering the entire camp, the monsters covered in black shadows disappeared, leaving only a miserable corpse on the scene.

After the **** battle, Aetius wore a blood-stained robe and walked among the soldiers with his heavily wounded body. Using words that he had studied since childhood, combined with an extremely infectious voice, he gave a speech in front of the whole army, striving to move them. The same **** soldier.

In the end, he vowed to kill the Alemanni and avenge the blood and hatred for the two warlords and the dead brothers. At the same time, all the proceeds from this looting belong to the soldiers, so don’t take the slightest! And promise them more wealth and glory! And take them up the stairs to a higher position!

In this way, the soldiers’ emotions were completely ignited. Seeing that the boss of the other two warlords was dead, there was no obstacle to following another Roman general who looked brave and capable of fighting. Have chosen to submit.

After receiving the support of the elites of the two warlords, Aetius immediately led his troops back to his division, and under the eagle flag of the Western Empire, he attacked the Roman garrison frontally. All the elites left, and the barbarians without a leader surrendered. Aetius fought. , He became the largest warlord in Gaul, controlling four-fifths of the local army.

And those [Germanic Assassins], who were entangled in the shadows and with **** eyes, appeared frequently after the war, and continuously assassinated the senior officers of the Roman army—whether the officers were Romans or barbarians. But the only thing they had in common was that they all seemed to be a stumbling block on the road to the unification of Aetius. At the same time, a strange corpse frequently appeared nearby. They died in an extremely miserable state, and they did not leave a drop of blood in their bodies.

In this way, in just two months, the psionicist united the Gaul war zone with many warlords and became the nominal commander of the local area.

However, a new wave of crises reappeared, and three extremely powerful German barbarians: Frank, Lombard, and Burgundy formed a covenant: to jointly break the Roman front, grab money, food, and territory. The number of barbarians gathered in mighty, as high as 150,000.

The Quartet opened up and launched a decisive battle in the flat wasteland of Gaul.

But what is unexpected is that the Franks had already secretly allied with Aetius under the sweet words of Aetius: the psionicist promised to give the Franks land and money, and was willing to marry the Frankish king’s daughter as his own wife, so that their Descendants, inherited the position of his commander-in-chief of Gaul.

The Frankish Lancers, after the Roman battle regiment fought with the barbarians in close combat, came out, frantically attacking the front of the Lombards and the Berkends from the left. At the same time, hundreds of white dragons were used by the mighty white dragons. The Frost Breath destroyed the Burgundian cavalry and the Roman heavy Persian cavalry. They did not see any obstruction on the right flank. They trampled on the frosty ground like a sharp knife, and slammed into the enemy force!

In an instant, the war turned into a massacre. The planned three-on-one has become two-on-two, and the opponent is the most powerful barbarian Frank and the main force of Rome in Gaul. In this contrast of forces, there is no suspense about the defeat of the barbarians. The Berkends and Lombards who had been rampant in Gaul for decades were beaten and abandoned, and they surrendered one after another.

The Franks didn’t get any benefits either. Their king was stabbed in the lung by a strange javelin in the rebellion. He dropped his horse on the spot and was trampled to death by countless horse hooves. After the war, Aetius relied on himself. The huge Roman soldier easily defeated the sons of the Barbarian King. By virtue of his status as the son-in-law of the Barbarian King, he became the king of the Franks. The most powerful barbarian force in Gaul became the allied force of Rome. .

At this point, Aetius is sitting on 120,000 Roman professional armies, 50,000 brave and warrior Frankish barbarian warriors, and 100,000 barbarian slave infantry from various clans, as well as dozens of Germanic barbarians and monster clans. For various reasons, fighting side by side with them, the specific numbers of these soldiers cannot even be counted.

Moreover, relying on the proceeds of war looting and the assistance of the tribe, he really raised this army!

In just five months, the power of Aetius has expanded to an extent beyond the control of the central government. The occupied northern Gaul is gradually restored by it, and the tribe’s winter conscription system has also been learned by psionicists. This winter, hundreds of thousands of farmers in Gaul will come to his camp to participate in training for money and good meals.

Now Aetius is a veritable King of Gaul. In order to stabilize this extremely unstable terrorist force, which had united too many barbarians, Augustus had to make him the commander of the war, and even in the end, gave him the title of co-ruling emperor.
