Augustus Road

At this time, it was Vercingetor's turn to be surprised again. When he looked at the whole place burned and burned, with killed corpses, taken away animals and living people everywhere, he finally smiled and expressed his love for the governor. Gratitude, "From now on, as Masseria was to Pompey, I, the tribe of Alvini, are Creon to your lordship."

"I don't dare to take it." Lepidus smiled meaningfully, and then continued to win over enthusiastically, "Actually, when I was fighting against the Serves in Gaul, I captured their princess, a girl named Ploche, and now My wife is being fostered in Milan. She must have grown up and received a higher education. I heard that you Gallic nobles like to do two things the most, one is to enter the Senate of the Republic, and the other is to marry a German woman. "

This meant that Vercingetorius should marry Procchi, which was probably another part of buying me off. I don’t know if it was simply the intention of this weird governor, or Caesar’s instruction. Just when Vercingetoli hesitated, Lepidus then said: "Caesar has passed a bill in Rome to continue to guarantee the granting of citizenship throughout Gaul, so there is no difference in status between you and me. We are both citizens. Your two wishes will soon be realized. But the premise is to continue to cooperate sincerely with Caesar to achieve a win-win goal." Lepidus laughed and said that you are really the smartest noble in Gaul. I absolutely believe in my vision, and the Alvini tribe will definitely prosper under your leadership. Do you think so?

The other party did not give a clear answer, but pointed to the Albissi fortress on Mount Yaxing. "Most of our troops are cavalry. Since we have swept away their villages like lightning, is it a bit difficult to capture the castle on the cliff?"

But the next move once again verified Lepidah's cunning - three days later. The Fifteenth and Sixteenth Legions. He actually rushed over holding a flag and carrying a large amount of wood and equipment. It turned out that Li Bida had already made arrangements. These two main legions were just a cover-up for him to confuse Dumijus. Not long after he left with his cavalry, the Sixth Legion originally in Monojko quickly dispatched and quickly replaced these two legions to guard the blockade. Task.

Now that the elite infantry of the brigade is here. Then the fate of the few remaining Albisi people on this cliff is destined to perish. All the soldiers skillfully erected a siege tower dozens of Roman feet high. It was divided into three floors, with stairways for personnel to enter and exit, and board windows for shooting and sorties. The first floor was extended Bronze ramrod. The second floor is a perforation with a bellows cannon, and the third floor is a wheeled cart for soldiers and military slaves to push. Finally, when the Nubian shooters on the tower pushed back the defenders behind the wooden wall on the cliff, the people inside activated the hitting rod. After a loud sound, the wooden wall was completely knocked down - and then people filed out. The Roman soldiers, with their backs bent, and under the cover of their shields, rushed up the cliff one by one on the flying ladders shot out.

As the fireworks filled the air, Vercingetorio looked at this miserable and asymmetrical scene, thinking to himself, this is simply not a war, but a standard massacre. Why? To deal with such a small mountain fortress, Li Bida mobilized troops and mobilized troops in such a cruel way!

"Because I want Aquinoa and all the tribes in old Gaul to see the blood of this war, to prevent anyone from repeating Masseria's stupid mistakes, sometimes treating people who are not strong enough but stupid and bloody. For me, swords and fire can make them understand that it is a good thing to survive, because in front of my well-trained, well-equipped, and technologically advanced legion, the greater the courage and strategy, the more miserable the end will be. —Vercingetorix, don’t condemn this cruelty, because I am a peace-loving person. I kill some people so that more people can live in peace, right?” After saying that, Vercingetorio saw “Peace-loving person”. "The Governor of Sardinia, surrounded by a group of baton-wielding retinues, blew his trumpet and galloped towards Masseria.

In just four or five days, the governor completely exterminated a tribe, seized their land, gave it to himself, and killed thousands of tribesmen, most of whom were elderly. All women, children, and children were sold into slavery. , all the livestock were taken away, and except for the ten thousand strong Albisi who had agreed to fight for Masseria in advance, all others were destroyed. It was these people who, under the plan of the governor, were used as a source of food in the city. , and those who were sent to another "death place" watched helplessly as their tribes were wiped out, and their wives and children were killed and sold. They were unable to do anything, and they had to wait for more decisive destruction. This method was so cruel that it was so cruel. It's outrageous.

But Lepidus did not ask Alp to shoot the document with the message into the city with an arrow until he returned to the blockade with the two victorious legions. Then everything in Masseria was in chaos: he was so angry The Albisi men with bloodshot eyes, drunk with violent alcohol, drew their swords and held up their shields, and gathered together, either shouting curses, or holding each other's arms and crying. There was only one thing left in their lives now. , that is revenge.

Dumitius and the city's Presbyterian Church had no ability to restrain him. The exile who was entrusted by the Presbyterian Council as the commander of the army and the murderer of Tribune Claudius also volunteered to be brought with him. The Albisi army opened a gap in the blockade. "At this rate, the food in the city could have lasted for more than a year, but now it will be unsustainable in about three months. No matter what, it will be consumed. If it is not food, then You have to waste people!" This was Trialli's naked advice to Dumijus.
