Chapter 386
Chapter 385 The first battle of artillery
Anius sneered. He was a Germanic who didn’t know whether to live or die. Such a small person would dare to attack half of their legion.
Under his order, a large number of crossbowmen and grenadiers stepped forward, including artillery.
Li Wei equipped each regiment with 12 tiger squat guns. These tiger squat guns were the first to cross the river.
After more than half a year of training, the artillery can finally go to battle. This is their first battlefield show.
Anius is also very curious about what kind of power they can exert.
Those Badawis held their shields, getting closer and closer to the Roman army.
At this moment, the artillery ignited the fuze, and the fuze burned quickly.
“Boom!”
“Boom!”
“Boom!”
“……”
The 12 tiger squatting guns placed in the front gave off an angry roar. In each tiger squat gun, there were nearly 100 five-dollar leads. Nearly 1,200 lead stubs were like a goddess scattered flowers, densely packed. The advancing Batavians shot past.
These leads easily passed through their shields and hit their bodies.
“what!”
“what!”
“……”
The Badawi screamed at the front. Some people were beaten with lead, and there were **** holes all over their bodies.
It was like cutting off a layer of bread, and all the Batavians rushing to the front fell down.
The deafening noise made the Badawi people startled. They had not participated in the Battle of Nepo, but these Badawi people didn’t know anything about God-given weapons.
There is a look of horror on their faces. They don’t understand what can make such a terrible sound and kill so many enemies. Some people even fled back in fear.
Even Anius showed a look of shock. Although it couldn’t compare with the shells thrown by the catapult, it was not bad.
“Don’t be afraid, those god-given weapons are nothing great. Brave Badawi warriors, rush to kill them.”
Seeing this, the general Badawei behind said hastily.
At this moment, the grenadiers stepped forward and threw their grenades.
A series of explosions sounded again, and these Badawi people were frightened and fled back one after another.
Anius’s face was proud, and the god-given weapons were invincible.
“Let me chase them all, remember that the chasing distance cannot exceed one roman.”
Annius said loudly.
He has never forgotten his mission, which is to protect the craftsmen and build the dock so that the cavalry can land as soon as possible, so he dared not pursue too much.
The Roman soldiers immediately launched a chase. They took up their weapons and pursued the enemy.
It’s a pity that their armor is too heavy, far inferior to the Batavians wearing only animal skins. They only killed some injured Batavians and let them all escape in the end.
It didn’t take long for the docks to be built.
Those boats drew up to the dock, and a war horse got off the big boat, and then boarded the land on the east bank of the Rhine.
Looking at the gently swaying green grass and wildflowers, Li Wei smiled and said: “German, I am here.”

There are a large number of wooden houses in a huge Badawi settlement, and now this settlement has become a mess.
A large number of Badawi people packed up all kinds of things in horror. The Romans had killed them, and they had to flee with their own cattle and sheep.
At this moment, a lot of horseshoes came from outside the settlement.
In fact, most Germanic settlements do not have walls or fences. You cannot expect a group of men hunting and women gathering people to have a high level of productivity.
Hearing this, the settlement became even more flustered.
General Badawi roared, and finally gathered some Badawi warriors outside the settlement. They watched the Roman cavalry warily.
Soon there were more and more Roman cavalry, and they even completely surrounded the settlement.
Looking at these Badawi men in animal skins, Belieus said with contempt: “It’s a bunch of barbarians, don’t you think it is, King Gherba.”
A blond Germanic next to him gave him a blank expression, and then said, “Vice-General Belieus, I remember that the Pope said that it is strictly forbidden to call Germanic savages, otherwise he will be punished.”
This Germanic is the king of Bill and a large family, Gherba. After conquering Gaul, a large number of Celts and Germans chose to convert to the holy religion.
But Li Wei didn’t particularly believe in them. He recruited some adult men from them, then formed two infantry regiments and 6,000 cavalry, disrupted their organization, and brought them to bring Germans.
“Well, I apologize to you, I hope you can forgive my little mistake. In fact, I like Germans very much. You can attack with your troops. May God bless you.”
Bellieus had a false smile on his face.
He doesn’t like Gailba, and he agrees with Li Wei’s concerns.
“Ok.”
Gelba said, and when he finished speaking, he rushed up with a large number of Gallic and German cavalry.
Belieus looked at him with a gloomy look. He believed that the lives of the Romans were precious, on the contrary, the lives of these Gauls were nothing.
So he intends to give him some difficult tasks, but even if they consume their strength, Belieus knows that he can’t do it too obvious.
He said to a lieutenant next to him: “To make the Armenian cavalry move, you only need to shoot arrows from a distance.”
“Yes.”
said the lieutenant.
Soon the Armenian cavalry moved. They bypassed the Batavians who were fighting with the Gallic cavalry, but rushed towards the civilians watching the battle behind them.
Seeing this, those Badawi people were terrified.
Their relatives are behind them, how can they let these Armenian cavalry hurt them?
So some of them hurriedly chased back, but this gave the Gallic cavalry a chance to charge.
They quickly broke through the fragile defense line of the enemy, and then pursued and killed the Badawi.
With the combined efforts of the two parties, the Badawi people were defeated, and they fled to the settlement in embarrassment.
“What a bunch of idiots.”
Belieus said disdainfully.
But at this time a shocking event happened to him. Some Germanic women rushed out of the settlement.
They stripped off their shirts, exposed those things, and said loudly to the Batavians who were escaping: “Do you want us to become slaves to the Romans? Go back and fight!”
“Son, you coward, you are a shame to our family. Don’t run away!”
“Kill all these Romans!”
“……”
Looking at the pictures of those spicy eyes, Belieus couldn’t believe his eyes.
How can there be such a thing in this world?
Don’t say it was him, even those Armenian cavalry and Celtic cavalry were dumbfounded.
In fact, this is a Germanic tradition. According to the records of “Germania” and “The Gaul War”, when the Germans are defeated, those Germanic women will rush forward.
They will take off their shirts and yell at the Germans who run away to encourage them to fight bravely.
So it is not without reason that Rome called some people and barbarians. For example, during the expedition of Emperor Caesar, he said that some Britons still maintained the traditions of many communists in primitive society.
(This is real history, not fake.)
Belieus cursed, those Armenian cavalry and Celtic cavalry did not know what to do, only some Germanic cavalry showed respectful expressions on their faces.
This is their tradition!
This is their pride!
Under their encouragement, some Batavians returned to fight.
But the advantage of the Romans is too great, and their number occupies an absolute advantage.
Those Badawi who went back to fight were quickly killed, and the others had to run away desperately again.
Seeing this, the Badawi women are desperate.
At this moment, Gelba rode his horse and rushed to a Badawi and said, “surrender, Hossa.”
“It’s you, Gailba.”
The Badawi man said in surprise. He is very strong and has no beard on his face. He is the former King of Badawi and now General Hossa of Badawi.
Because Bill and the area are close to here, Gailba and Hossa also know each other for some reason, but they didn’t expect to meet again in this situation.
“Gelba, I didn’t expect you to become a running dog of the Romans.”
Hoosa said angrily.
“Listen to my advice, don’t resist anymore, otherwise you Badawi will be annihilated. This time there will be more than 5,000 cavalry.”
Gelba said coldly.
“you……”
Hossa was so angry that he couldn’t speak.
He is a general of the Badawi, and naturally he is not a foolish man.
He can surrender to Wufa, and naturally he can surrender to the Romans.
“Stop everyone. As General Badawi, I order you to stop and surrender to the Romans.”
Hossa said loudly.
After hearing what he said, the Badawi gradually stopped resisting, and then threw down their weapons.
The Gallic cavalry did not continue to chase them, but instead prevented the Armenian cavalry from killing the Batavians who surrendered.
Belieus frowned and watched all this, but said nothing in the end.
Under Hossa’s orders, the people in the settlement quickly surrendered, and then Gelba led Hossa to Belieus.
“Vice-General Belieus, General Badawi has agreed to surrender.”
Gelba said.
“It’s really regrettable. I plan to kill more people to get a good start.”
Belieus said with a sneer.
Hossa couldn’t help but shudder, he could see that Bellieus was not lying.
“Do you know the rules of our Romans?”
Belieus said.
Hossa remained silent and did not speak.
“If you don’t want to convert to the true god, you will be sold as a slave. No one can make an exception. Make your choice.”
Belieus said.
Hossa gave him a deep look, “I would like to convert to the true god.”
“Make a wise choice, and under the crown of the Pope, let me tell you one thing. Don’t think of betrayal. Betrayal means that you will never be trusted. At that time, we will not accept your surrender, and all of your people will be killed. dead.”
Belieus said coldly, and afterwards he gave Gailba a special look.
Gelba took a deep breath, and finally said nothing.
“Understand.”
Hossa said.
“Tell me all your other settlements.”
“No problem, but I hope I can send someone to persuade them to surrender.”
“Yes.”
Hossa’s surrender was beyond Li Wei’s expectation. He did not expect that under Galba’s persuasion, the Batavians would surrender so quickly.
“Perhaps he should be taken to persuade those Kadi people.”
Li Wei said.
“What should we do next? Attack the Cadys?”
Belieus said.
“You’re right, after defeating the Kadi, we will go north to Jutland and find our old friends Teutons and Chimburies to reminisce about the past.”
Li Wei said with a smile.
“What if Wufa doesn’t lead his troops to chase, but instead sends troops to Gaul?”
Belieus asked.
“It’s not easy to cross the Rhine. They can’t build a big ship. The Rhine is in our hands.”
Li Wei said, “If he dares to cross the Rhine, then he won’t go back.”
“I hope he can do what you want.”
Belieus said.
“Yes, if he can lead an army to pursue it, it would be best. By then, Jutland will be the place where I will fight with him.”
Li Wei said.

In the royal city of Spebby, Wu Fazheng discussed the possible movements of the Romans with Nesua, Chimbrius and others.
At this moment, a guard brought a Cady into Wufa’s room.
“Your Majesty, General Cardi has sent a messenger.”
The guard said.
“Your Majesty, send troops to save us. The Roman army has crossed the Rhine, and they have conquered the Badawi tribe. They are now attacking our tribe. Their strength is so much that we are not opponents at all. ”
The Cardi messenger cried, and after speaking, he took out a letter.
“What did you say? They have crossed the Rhine, let me see.”
Wufa said quickly.
These days, he was worrying about where Li Wei would cross the river from, but he did not expect that Li Wei would cross the river from the north.
The Cardian quickly handed the letter to him How many people did the Romans dispatch? ”
Chin Bailius asked.
“They have a lot of troops. There are at least 12 legions of infantry and 30,000 cavalry. Our people are almost unable to withstand it.”
said the Cardi.
“So the main force of the Romans is in the north.”
Nasua said.
Since the defeat of Nepo City, Nasua’s self-confidence has been greatly affected.
Had Chinbrius been helping him all the time, he would almost collapse.
“This is not necessarily true. Maybe they are in desperate need of reinforcements and are deliberately exaggerating.”
Chin Bilius said with a smile.
“How is this possible? I swear in the name of the **** of the earth, Tsutoto, everything I say is true.”
The Kadi quickly cursed and swore.
“Let me ask you a word, is Li Wei with you?”
Wufa asked.
“Yes, he is said to be directing the battle.”
The Kady said quickly.
