Roman Slave Owner

Chapter 386 The decisive battle with Jutland

Wu Fa pondered for a while and said: "In this case, I decided to lead my troops north to fight the Romans decisively."

"Could this be a Roman conspiracy? Aren't there some Roman troops on the other side of us? Will they take the opportunity to sneak attack on us?"

Cimberius said.

"These people should prevent us from attacking Gaul. There won't be too many of them. And I know Levi. Defense has never been his character. He has always been a person with a very strong desire to attack."

Wu Fa said with a sneer.

"How many troops do you plan to mobilize?"

Cimberius said.

Wu Fa frowned. If there were too few troops, they would definitely not be a match for the Romans. If there were too many troops, then food would be a big problem.

Any army will easily collapse if there is no food.

"We Sbebes are sending out 100,000 troops. The Jutes should not move. If the Romans on the other side attack, let the Jutes and us Sbebes join forces to resist the Roman attack."

Wufa said.

The Sbebi people can mobilize up to 200,000 troops, but that is when all adult men go out to fight, and he does not plan to do that.

"The Cimbri sent out 50,000 troops, the Ambuans sent out 50,000 troops, the Angles sent out 30,000 troops, the Saxons sent out 30,000 troops..."

Wufa kept talking.

After counting all the time, he found that the number of troops dispatched exceeded 400,000.

With so many people, he should be able to defeat the Romans. He is not the loser that Naisua was.

"Okay then, I have no objection."

Cimberius said.

After making the decision, Wulfa immediately led the army to the territory of the Qadi people, and at the same time urged other tribes to step up their troops.

By this time, Livy had defeated the Kadians, and a large number of the Kadians fled into the Black Forest.

Li Wei found that there was no hope of pursuing him, so he set a fire outside the black forest.

The Black Forest was too vast. He knew that it was impossible to conquer the Black Forest. The complex terrain was enough to drive any army crazy.

Since he couldn't conquer it, let's burn it and completely let the Black Forest disappear from the world. So he sent a large number of cavalry to set fires everywhere, and then led his army north to Jutland.

When Wulfa led his army through the territories of the Ubi and Badawians and arrived at the territory of the Kadi people, they found a doomsday scene.

Thick black smoke in the distance obscured the sky, and the sky in the distance turned red.

Wherever they looked, all the black forest was ablaze.

All kinds of animals fled from the black forest in terror, and some Kadi people looked at the black forest in despair.

"How is this going?"

Cimberius said in horror.

The Black Forest actually borders many tribes, including not only the Kadi and Ubi people, but also the Sbebe people, the Jute people, and so on.

When they encounter an enemy they cannot defeat, they retreat into the dark forest so that their enemies cannot pursue them.

And they can go to the black forest to hunt and gather. The black forest will provide them with abundant food and is an important source of food for them.

Looking at the fire in the Black Forest, which lasted for dozens of miles, it might reach them.

But no one could answer his question. Before long, General Cady came over with a large number of soldiers.

"Your Majesty, you have to make the decision for us."

General Kadi said with tears in his eyes.

General Cady is a tall and thick Germanic man. He can be forced into this state because it shows how wronged he has been.

"What exactly is going on?"

Wufa said, pointing to the fire in the distance.

"This is all set on fire by the Romans! They are a bunch of damn bastards! They want to burn down the Black Forest! What will we eat in the future? I must kill them!"

General Cady said angrily.

The black forest provides them with a considerable part of their food. For them with backward productivity, food means life.

Due to the destruction of the Black Forest, they might have to migrate as a whole clan!

"It's so vicious."

Wu Fa said with deep sympathy.

Li Wei's fire almost pushed the Cardians into a desperate situation. Let alone fight, they should first find something to fill their stomachs.

"Can this fire be extinguished?"

Qimberius asked.

"It couldn't be extinguished. The fire spread for dozens of miles. Our entire clan died. Not only did we not extinguish the fire, many people died because of it."

General Kadi said with a painful look on his face.

"It seems like it's up to God. It would be nice if it rains."

Chimberius said with a sigh on his face.

"Your Majesty, what should we do next? Without the Black Forest, there will be a huge gap in our food."

General Kadi said eagerly, only Wufa can solve this problem now.

"Didn't the Badawians defect? ​​Their territory will belong to you. You can move some more people to the territory of the Ubi people. Many of them died in the battle of Naibo City. At least there is no shortage of food."

Wufa said.

"Thank you so much, Your Majesty."

General Cady said excitedly.

The Ubis are the most populous ethnic group in Germany. Unfortunately, their vitality was severely damaged in the last battle of Nebo City.

After the war, Livi led his army to keep an eye on the Germans and drove them back to the east of the Rhine.

As a result, the Ubi people were severely injured, and more than 300,000 people, including civilians, were killed, injured and captured.

"In addition, you and the Ubbi people should work together to find a way to put out the fire. You can't rely on God alone. Don't let the fire expand."

Wu Fa warned that if the fire burned their territory, they would die.

"As you command, Your Majesty."

General Cady said.

So General Kadi began to arrange for his tribe to migrate, and Wu Fa led his tribe to continue northward. He hoped to catch up with Li Wei's team as soon as possible.

***

On the Jutland peninsula, a large number of Cimburi people brought their young and old along with their cattle and sheep all the way north along the peninsula.

Just a few days ago, tens of thousands of Roman cavalry raided their tribe. They captured a large number of gathering places and killed an unknown number of people.

When General Chimburi reacted and assembled a large number of troops to counterattack, it was already too late.

They could only stop the Roman pursuers and let the Cimbrian civilians go north as soon as possible to seek help from the Teutons and Ambeons.

At this time, there was the sound of a lot of horse hooves from behind, and then they found a large number of cavalry chasing them from behind.

This made them extremely frightened, and the Roman cavalry actually came after them.

Could it be that General Qinbri and the others were defeated?

They ran in all directions in panic, some fled into the jungle on the roadside, and some hid behind a nearby hillside.

The Roman cavalry who were chasing after them were a group of Galatian cavalry with gorgeous red hair. They used their spears to kill the Cimbri people who had no time to escape. Some people collected the cattle, sheep, grain and food they left behind. various supplies, while others continued northward.

The steady stream of cavalry was like a huge torrent, drowning everything on the path.

The hidden Cimbri people watched all this with fear. They covered the mouths of the children with their hands to prevent them from making any noise that would attract the Roman cavalry.

At this moment, the Roman cavalry suddenly stopped advancing, a melodious bugle sounded, and then they formed a battle formation.

From a distance, a huge cavalry could be seen approaching from north to south. This surprised the Cimbri people. Could it be that reinforcements from the Teutons and Ambeons had arrived.

In fact, their guess was correct. After receiving the letter asking for help from General Qinbri, they immediately gathered an army to come to the rescue.

Because the cavalry was fast, their cavalry was at the forefront.

Looking at the Galatian cavalry in front of him, Burton looked solemn.

Unexpectedly, the Roman cavalry had already reached here. It seemed that the Chimbri people had suffered extremely heavy losses this time.

The melodious trumpet sounded, and the two cavalry began to charge almost at the same time, and then engaged in a fierce fight.

There are many wooden houses next to a bay. This is a small town for the Chimburi people.

A river flows into the sea from here. There is a small pier on the seaside, and some fishing boats are docked at the pier.

Li Wei secretly praised the Cimbri people. Unexpectedly, they already knew how to fish. It was really amazing. This completely subverted his impression of the Germanic people.

A craftsman emerged from the sea and said with surprise: "Your Majesty, the water here is very deep and can accommodate large ships."

Hearing this, Levi nodded.

There is a river here, and it should be possible to drill a well. Plus it's close to the sea, so it's a good place to camp.

"Inform the army to camp here by the sea and river, and then prepare to fight against Wufa's army."

Levi said.

"As commanded, Your Majesty."

After receiving Livy's order, the Roman soldiers immediately took action.

Some dug trenches, others built earthen walls. Of course, these are just the basic skills of the Roman army. During the march, the Roman army had to build a camp every day.

The difference this time was that they not only had to build a large number of trenches outside the camp, but also built a dock.

When the army goes on expeditions to foreign countries, the transportation of military food and materials has always been a big problem.

Historically, the Roman Empire's expedition to Germany decided to first go out to the North Sea to solve the problem of food transportation, and then go south along the river to attack the German hinterland.

This time Li Wei's army exceeded 100,000, and with a large number of cavalry among them, the consumption was even more staggering.

Therefore, Levi decided to go north to the Jutland Peninsula and solve the transportation problem of various materials through sea transportation. This saved a lot of manpower and had various unimaginable benefits.

The craftsmen quickly built a dock, unloaded a large amount of food, gunpowder and various supplies from the ship, and then transported them to the military camp.

Not long after, a cavalryman told him the news from the front line.

"Oh, you met the Teutonic and Ambeon cavalry?"

Levi said slightly surprised.

"Yes, they are very strong, and the Galatian cavalry suffered some heavy losses. Fortunately, the Numidian cavalry arrived, and the enemy had to retreat in the end."

A lieutenant said.

"Let them come back, and send more cavalry to scout the enemy's movements, especially Wu Fa's army."

Levi thought for a while and said.

"As commanded, Your Majesty."

***

Three days later, Wulfa led the army not far from the Roman military camp. At this time, Burton and others also sent people to contact him.

"So Livy is camped on the coast."

Wu Fa frowned and said, what does he mean?

If they, the Teutons, and the Ambeons attacked from the north and south at the same time, although Li Wei would not necessarily be defeated, he would be at a very disadvantageous position.

"Yes, we discovered a large number of Roman ships. Those ships were huge, and our small ships were no match for them."

Burton said.

Sea ship? Camping along the coast?

Wu Fa connected these together and soon understood what Levi was thinking.

"I feel something is not good. Once the enemy sets up camp along the coast, they will be able to obtain a steady stream of supplies through sea transportation. I heard that sea transportation has always been very cheap. I don't know if this is the case."

At this time Qinbarius said.

"You're right. This way, Levi doesn't have to worry about food consumption at all. If we don't capture this military camp, they can hold on as long as they want."

Wu Fa said gloomily.

"What can we do? Our army only brought enough food for more than a month. Burton, what about you?"

Cimberius said.

"If all the cattle and sheep are killed, it will be enough for two months, but a large number of Chimburi people have been attacked, and we need to support them with some food."

Burton said.

In addition to hunting, the Germans also engaged in herding, so when they marched, they would bring a large number of cattle and sheep with them for food.

Everyone looked at each other. If they could not capture the enemy camp in more than a month, they would probably have to retreat due to lack of food.

In this way, whether the enemy pursues or attacks the three Teutonic tribes, the consequences will be very serious.

The narrowest part of the Jutland Peninsula is only 20 Roman miles away. Once the enemy cuts off the peninsula, the Teutonic Tribes will be doomed unless they jump into the sea to escape.

Wu Fa obviously thought of this, which made him look bad.

Jutland is clearly their home court, so why does Levi have the advantage?

"Can we destroy this enemy force in more than a month?"

Qimberius asked.

The scene became quiet for a moment, and now the Roman army was really a little strange.

All kinds of god-given weapons kept popping up, not to mention the millions of troops in Nabo City.

Now they have a great understanding of God-given weapons, but they still dare not say that they can defeat them.

"How about we go directly south, cross the Rhine River, attack the Gauls' territory, and force him to return reinforcements."

Cimberius said.

"He may not return reinforcements. If I were him, he would attack the Teutonic tribe first. Then use those big ships to cut off our retreat. By then we won't be able to go back even if we want to. Once he returns to Gaul, we will probably The entire army will be wiped out."

Wufa said.

"Then what should we do? Lure them into battle?"

Cimberius said.

"Let's try it first, but I don't think he will be fooled."

Wu Fa said with a headache.

So Wulfa's army began to move south the next day, making a gesture of crossing the Rhine River south.

Burton and the others withdrew northward, seemingly intending to shrink their defense, and soon a scout told Levi the news.

"Don't worry about them. Wu Fa's army is on an expedition and consumes an astonishing amount of food every day. They are the ones who are in a hurry now."

Levi thought for a while and said.
