Roman Slave Owner - Chapter 370

Olgis Torrex’s face became extremely pale, but soon became determined.

“Offense! Offense! Today we want to let the Romans know how powerful Celtic warriors are!”

Orr & Torrex snarled loudly.

After receiving his order, the Helvesian soldiers immediately launched a tidal attack.

The Celts, like the Germans, will pull all adult men out to fight, and their number of soldiers can reach between one-third and one-quarter of the tribal population.

Therefore, their soldiers are often extremely large, but they are extremely unprofessional and have no systematic training.

Many lack armor, and some even wear leather armor.

Li Wei soon discovered this, and soon the bugle sounded and the army flag waved.

The marching regiments stopped immediately, the lines separated, and rows of crossbowmen and slingers were in front of them, forming a nine-row phalanx.

The front was the crossbowmen, behind them were the Cretan archers, and finally the Marorca slingers.

The crossbowmen had loaded their arrows, the front row squatted and the second row stood, aiming at the Helvesians who were approaching quickly.

When those Helvesians get close enough.

“Let the arrow! Let the arrow!”

One by one the centurion shouted loudly.

All of a sudden, the arrows were like locusts. Thousands of arrows flew towards the Helvesians, some hit their shields, and some went over their heads and hit the soldiers behind them.

After releasing the arrows, they quickly retreated. Two rows from the back came forward and fired again.

The Cretan archers behind also began to throw their arrows diagonally toward the sky, one arrow flew out, and then fell heavily.

It fell on those Celtics, and soon there were screams from the crowd.

Archers’ shooting speed far exceeds that of crossbowmen. Although their numbers are less than crossbowmen, the firepower density is not much worse than them.

A steady stream of arrows fell on the Celtics’ ranks, causing powerful damage to them.

Many Celtics’ hands and shields were nailed together by arrows, but they still roared and charged forward.

The Helvesians can fight the Germans regardless of the outcome, and their fighting will is naturally very strong.

A round of arrows were shot out, but the distance between the two sides still shortened rapidly, and the centurions finally gave the order to retreat.

The slinger behind also rotated the sling belt for the final round of throwing, throwing stones one after another at the enemy.

One stone exactly hit the Helvesian soldiers, and the slingers quickly retreated.

Soon, the officers of both sides gave orders to throw javelins and shot puts at almost the same time. One after another, the javelins and shot puts flew into the sky and then flew into the opponent’s battlefield.

“Tortoiseshell formation! Tortoiseshell formation!!!”

A centurion shouted hoarsely.

The Roman soldiers quickly raised their shields and formed a tightly guarded tortoise shell formation, protecting themselves tightly.

One javelin fell, and then fell heavily on the shield. Some pierced the shield and caused some damage to the Roman soldiers, but at most they just connected the hand and the shield together.

On the contrary, the Celtics suffered most of the injuries. They did not have a tortoise shell formation. Both the shot put and the javelin caused huge damage to them.

Some were smashed by a shot, and some were pierced by a javelin.

The Roman army began to charge again, and the two armies smashed into each other like two huge torrents, and then began a fight for life and death.

After fighting for many years, Levy knew very well about the combat effectiveness of the Roman army.

The Roman army of this era may be at the peak of Roman history. Cavalry without stirrups could not pose too much threat to Roman infantry.

On the contrary, Rome has strong productivity, and every soldier is equipped with armor. On the contrary, the Celts and Germans lack armor and sophisticated weapons.

Therefore, for the same number of troops, the fighting power of the Roman army is truly the first in Europe. Even the Germans are not their opponents, and this is proven through a lot of battles.

After the two armies collided together, with their skilful cooperation and sophisticated weapons and armor, they quickly launched a massacre on the Celtics.

The Helvetians’ weapons did not have much effect when hitting them. On the contrary, their weapons pierced the Celtics and it was a hole. These Helvetians were not their opponents at all.

Soon the Helvesians were beaten by them steadily, but their family was probably behind them.

Today’s Helvesians are exceptionally tenacious, even if they suffer heavy casualties, they still won’t retreat.

Li Wei rode a war horse in the rear to observe the situation on the opposite side, and it didn’t take long for the cavalry to decide the outcome.

Li Wei’s cavalry was in an absolute advantage, they were more than twice the enemy, and they quickly defeated the cavalry on the opposite side.

A smile appeared on Li Wei’s face, “Order the cavalry to attack behind the enemy, and the 9th and 10th Army to attack the enemy’s left flank. By the way, let’s add the guards, it’s time for them to see Seeing blood.”

Soon the bugle sounded, and the cavalry immediately circled to the enemy’s rear, and launched a charge again and again against the enemy’s rear.

A large amount of arrow rain continuously shot into the army of Helavisia and Kaiguani, which made them extremely panic.

The two Roman legions and the Guards also marched to the enemy’s left flank and launched an offensive, so that the enemy’s left flank was simultaneously attacked on three sides.

The Helvetians there quickly showed a tendency to collapse, and then the collapse began to spread to the right flank of the enemy.

Seeing this, Divi Chiba Agus was overjoyed.

They love the battle between the Dui and the Ségwanis, but it is much better with the cavalry.

“Offense! Give me full offense!!”

Divi Chiba Agus said loudly.

He put on his wolf head helmet and joined the offensive team personally.

Seeing their leader personally participate in the offensive, the Aiduyi people were immediately morale up, while the Seguni people on the opposite side retreated steadily.

It didn’t take long for the Helvesia and Ségwanis coalition forces to begin to collapse.

A large number of soldiers flee to the river desperately, as long as they jump into the river, they may be able to escape.

The Roman army and the Eduis pursued and killed with all their strength, while the cavalry kept charging back and forth.

The corpses were everywhere along the way. From the battlefield to the Ala River, I don’t know how many corpses fell.

The Ara River was also full of corpses, but the Helvesians and Ségwanis still rushed into the river desperately, vying to swim across the river.

Seeing this, an Armenian cavalry came to the river and got off his horse.

They took out their bows, then bend their bows and shoot arrows at the enemy in the river.

Those arrows traversed beautiful arcs and hit the fleeing enemy.

Li Wei sighed softly, this is war.

After a long time, Divi Chiba Agus finally found him.

At this time, he and the horse under him were stained with blood, and several ferocious heads hung on the horse.

“The fight today is really good.”

Divi Chiba Agus laughed.

“We have to work harder to let others escape.”

Li Wei said.

“You are right.”

Divi Chiba Agus’ eyes lit up, “We must cross the river as soon as possible to wipe out the enemy.”

“Leave it to us to build the bridge. We are good at it.”

Li Wei said.

“It is not easy to build a bridge on the Ala River. How long will it take you to build the bridge?”

Divi Chiba Agus asked.

In his impression, it would take at least ten days to build a pontoon bridge on the Saone River. If there was time, the enemy would have gone to nowhere.

“You shouldn’t doubt the engineering ability of the Romans, my friend, I was prepared for this.”

Li Wei said with a smile.

Soon, a large number of craftsmen drove their carts to the Ala River. The carts carried canoes one after another. These canoes were slightly wider boats hewn from a single tree trunk.

After reaching the river, some craftsmen lifted these small boats off the wagon.

Some craftsmen pushed the boat into the water and took the rope to row the boat across the river.

They drove stakes on the ground across the river, and then fastened the ropes to the stakes.

The remaining craftsmen pushed all the small boats into the river, and then connected the small boats together with ropes, and laid wooden boards to form simple floating bridges.

The Helvesians chose this section of the river to flow extremely smoothly, so these pontoons were easy to build successfully.

But they continued. They jumped into the river, piled up stakes, and strengthened the pontoon bridges.

They will also build on these pontoon bridges to be wider and larger so that more soldiers can pass.

Divichiba Agus seemed to be extremely shocked by the speed of the Romans building bridges, he did not expect the Romans to build more than a dozen pontoon bridges so quickly.

“How is it? Not bad, right.”

Li Wei said with a smile.

“It’s shocking.”

Divi Chiba Agus said with admiration.

“We can send someone over now.”

Li Wei said.

Divi Chiba Agus nodded, and then the army quickly rushed across the pontoons to the opposite bank.

The enemies across the river have completely lost their fighting spirit. They only know to escape, and are completely unprepared for the arrival of the army behind, so they are quickly defeated.

In this battle, the Roman army hunted for dozens of miles, until it reached the border with the Sanctuary.

Innumerable killings and captures, the two big clans of Helvesia and Ségwani and a dozen small clans basically declared annihilation.

***

As the sun rises, a large number of prisoners of war squatting on the ground wearing anklets in a prison camp.

Their expressions were sluggish, as if they had no souls, and a large number of crusaders in white robes kept order on the side.

Looking at these prisoners of war, Rufus showed a smile at the corner of his mouth. It was really a group of lost lambs, and he needed to lead these lambs on the right path.

He walked to a row of cauldrons, took the spoon and tapped it lightly, and said loudly, “It’s time to eat.”

Hearing this, the prisoners of war stood up one after another, and then walked over here.

Some of them have not eaten since noon yesterday, and they have become hungry.

“One person takes a bowl, don’t mess up. Who dares to break the bowl, I want his life.”

A centurion pointed to the pile of bowls and said loudly.

The prisoners of war came over after picking up the bowl, and then looked at Rufus with a pity on his face.

“You have suffered, my dear children.”

A little fanaticism appeared on Rufus’ face, “The true God knows your suffering and knows that you are deceived, so he sent the great prophet Li Wei to save you. Now a choice lies before you. If you want, you can bathe in Under the glory of the true God. You will become a real person, not in the darkness of ignorance.”

“I’m asking you a question now, are you willing to become believers of the true God? If you want, you can take a step forward and eat as much as you want. Then you will be free and get twice the property you used to have, whether it’s a house or a field. , This will be protected by the Holy Church and the Roman general Livy.”

The prisoners of war looked at each other for a while. They didn’t expect Rufus to want to preach to them, which made many people feel at a loss for a while.

Moreover, his conditions seem to be very good, not only being able to obtain freedom, but also being able to obtain double wealth, which makes many people very excited.

It’s just that they hesitate to abandon the Druid sect. Their ancestors have been faithful followers of the Druid sect for generations.

Seeing that no one was speaking, Rufus was a little dissatisfied.

“Is there no one? If you refuse, you will all be demoted to slaves~www.mtlnovel.com~ and sold all over the world. Maybe you will be sold to mines and work to death. Maybe you will become gladiators, you For the rest of his life, he will fight in the arena, until one day his throat is cut by your comrades.”

“I don’t want these things to happen to you. The true God is merciful and he cares about every one of his people. I hope you can make wise choices as long as you can believe in the true God. Not only you, but also your family You can also be free. And you will be protected by Roman generals and the holy religion. What are you still hesitating about.”

Rufus said loudly.

“To be sold as a slave? What can I do?”

“I still have my parents and brothers. Are they all sold as slaves?”

“…”

These prisoners of war were in a commotion. They didn’t expect the Romans to be so vicious, and they planned to sell them all as slaves. This is really terrible.

“The prophet gave you three choices, and you only have three ends. One is to die, the other is to become a believer in the true God, and then to gain freedom, wealth, and the protection of holy religions and generals, and the third is to be sold as slaves. Think of your choice as soon as possible.”

Rufus said.

“You can’t do this? Romans! They are all followers of the Druids. You can’t force them to believe in any true god.”

At this time, a middle-aged prisoner in his forties exclaimed.

“who are you?”

Rufus said angrily.

“I am a priest of the Druid sect. Although I am a prisoner of war, you cannot treat me like this. I believe someone will pick me up soon.”

Said the captive.

“Priest of the Druid sect? It turns out to be a person who serves false gods.”

Rufus sneered.
