Augustus Under the Horseshoe - v2 Chapter 577

After Augustus took office, the Big Three rejoined under the pressure of the tribe and restored to form a whole. The Western Roman Empire was once again united under the rule of Augustus.

The army organization of the chaotic Western Empire is not as clear as the various theaters of the Eastern Empire. In the Gaul Theater, the organization of all military districts has been completely destroyed during decades of continuous warfare. , The ghost knew how many battle groups were destroyed, and Aetius relied on the skills he learned from the tribe to super-organize how many battle groups came out.

And Gilliman’s Spain is not much better. They have only twenty battle groups on the surface. But this data really can only deceive fools-you dare to believe that the 20,000 people helped the Roman Empire to quell the Stirico Rebellion, suppressing countless dwarves and dragon rebellions, and at the same time defeated the Wang who invaded Spain. The remnant of the Darbar?

The three intriguing giants opened their hearts and gathered in Milan. Gilliman promised to return to Rome for retirement after the victory. All the rights of Spain were handed over to the Central Committee. Etius also showed that he was undivided and would always be loyal to Rome and would give up their power. , All placed on the table.

The first is the governor of the six provinces of Spain, the lord of the five hundred worlds. He abides by his clan code very standard. Each clan is divided into ten companies, five company heavy infantry, one company heavy crossbowman, four company heavy cavalry, and the horses are the best Andalusian horses. There are a total of forty such battle groups.

It’s not over yet, these 40,000 professional soldiers are just troops on paper. Gilliman’s real capital lies in the local dwarves. He estimated that if all were mobilized, it would probably be able to mobilize 60,000 battle-tested dwarven heavy-armored fighters. Each of those guys wore heavy armor, armed with heavy crossbows, battle axes and tower shields. They were first-rate heavy infantry, but because their legs were too short, they could not be trained as cavalry.

One hundred thousand heavy soldiers, plus two hundred thousand servants and slaves, this is the hole card of the Lord of the Five Hundred Worlds.

Valentinian III also came up with the limits of what he could mobilize: 60,000 central field troops, 10,000 imperial troops, and 300 white dragons-and finally, the troops stationed in North Africa: 10,000 from Canada. The gray elves of Ji, their mage power is very terrifying. Among 10,000 people, 7,000 are soldiers, 3,000 are junior mages who can perform at least one circle of magic, and 20,000 live in the Sahara Desert with extremely skin. The dark indigenous nomads, the chilling desert light cavalry of the Berbers.

The power that Augustus can control is also one hundred thousand professional soldiers and two hundred thousand logistics cannon fodder.

Finally, it was Aetius’ turn, and his soldiers were quite fragmented. Large and small wars broke up more than one hundred battle groups in the Gaul Theater. There were 120 battle groups on paper. But in fact, many battle groups are not fully staffed, with only one hundred thousand professional soldiers, and two hundred thousand handymen who write logistic supplies and read as cannon fodder meat shields.

However, the Imperial Warmaster also served as a Frankish king. He had a full five thousand guards of the Frankish kings wearing heavy armor, holding shields and long swords, and equipped with three throwing axes at his waist, and five thousand riding Gaul. A local war horse, a barbarian heavy cavalry armed with a lance. The number of other Frankish lancers, archers, and tribal people without armor is also a terrifying number of 40,000.

In the past few years, Aetius’s management, arrangement, and even exchange for the Governor of Britain were supported by the Celtics. A Celtic force of about 30,000 people landed in Gaul by boat and joined Under Zhanshuai’s command. Ten thousand of them were berserkers wearing chain mail, with indigo totems painted on their faces and holding two-handed giant swords, and twenty thousand were javelins wearing animal fur and carrying ten spears on their backs.

The fragmented Roman legion, the barbarian forces are united together, and they are also 120,000 professional soldiers and 260,000 auxiliary combat forces.

The addition of the Visigoths made the Romans even more powerful: an army of destruction composed of a thousand frost giants, leading a full 20,000 Gothic regiments, and 20,000 Gothic heavy cavalry, under the guidance of hatred, once again and The Romans fought side by side, and behind these 40,000 professional soldiers, a large number of Germans chose to join their brutal alliance. This number is too large to calculate, the Berkentian slingers, the Lancers, and the Lombard Wu Danshu Wei, the precious tribe of the Alemanni, and the spearman of the Saxons…Although they are few in number, they are still a force that cannot be ignored after being integrated.

————————————————

In the last few months of spring blooming, the Big Three acted vigorously, and the Rhine could not even stop the Germanic barbarians, let alone the tribes.

In order to prevent the tribe from adopting the assault tactics of attacking the Eastern Roman Empire again, leading pure cavalry into Gaul, Aetius moved all the Visigoths and other barbarian alliances into the hinterland of Gaul, and burned all the fortresses, villages, and settlements on both sides of the Rhine. He did nothing, leaving no supplies to the nomadic cavalry who came and went like wind, trying to stretch the opponent’s supply line again.

In Giliman’s Spanish Legion, the cavalry all merged with Aetius, and all the infantry rushed into the Italian mainland to guard the fortresses of the Alps, which are easy to defend and difficult to attack, to prevent the tribes from directly invading the Italian mainland. At the same time, they also stationed in the fortress. A large number of light cavalry were waiting for the opportunity to rush out of the mountain road and harass the tribe’s supply line.

The empire’s battle plan is very clear. Italy is easy to defend and difficult to attack. If you fight against Italy, we will slowly consume it. If you attack the mainland of Gaul, then the allied forces of Aetius and Theodoric I will continue to retreat, using scorched earth tactics to continuously stretch the supply line of the centaur, and then the Italian army will continue to attack and harass. This army of destruction was dragged down in Gaul.

“May the ancestors protect the Empire! May the ancestors protect Rome! May the ancestors protect Augustus!”

The three formally formed an alliance in Milan, and then immediately returned to the station, conscripted for military service, transported food, and dispatched the army. They were too busy. The spies of the tribe also found a change in the situation: after their marriage with Honoria, they were so happy. The eyeliner that was easy to set in Milan, but lost contact at the same time, the Rhine Climb burned with several scorching flames, and the dark smoke rushed into the sky. The barbarians took everything they could take to Gaul, the concentration that they couldn’t take away. Together, set a torch, and run towards the West with all your strength.

When the news reached Painhurs, the warchief had already understood what had happened. But at this moment, the tribe has already had an arrow on the string, and the pale warlock is full of fighting spirit. What if there is no aid from Placidia’s army? The tribal army, which can’t see the end at a glance, came out from the province of Norikum, the sword pointed directly at the Rhine, and the barbarians were full of blood. The warchief once led them to win countless wars and seized countless Money and glory.

And this time, their extremely admired leader will take them to usurp the position of Augustus in Rome. Will take them to compose a new legend.

“Look! My victorious soldiers!!!”

With high spirits, Painhurs raised his long bow and aimed it at the west bank of the Rhine.

“On the other side of the river is the Roman Empire that, over the centuries, you had to kneel down, bow your heads, or be forced to abandon your homeland, and continue to migrate to the wilderness! It is the Roman Empire that gave birth to countless legendary powers. , The magnificent country that makes you fear endlessly day and night! It is the promised land where the treasure is piled up like a mountain and the city is full of gold and silver! But today, they will all fall under our hooves!!!”

“AlanNure Painhus!!!”

Centaur, orc, ogre…Countless monsters, the barbarians slapped their shields with their swords, uttered terrifying roars, and covered the sky with a blue dragon banner, and approached the banks of the Rhine. !
