The system has to be used even if it is pulled

The army had a brief rest in Lucera, and then began to split into two routes. Silanus led half of the army towards Boiano, the capital of the Samnites, while Zhao Yuanlang led the other half of the army towards the Gaul city.

It is very interesting that the capital of the Samnites is between two mountains. Going north all the way to the sea is the capital of the Gauls. Across the mountains to the west is Rome, and across the mountains to the east is another road leading directly to the Gaulish city of Atenum.

Lucera is the only way to Boiano and Atenum. Zhao Yuanlang and Silanus had planned it long ago. Silanus tied down the Samnite army in Boiano. Zhao Yuanlang eliminated the Gauls, successfully cut off the Samnite's retreat, and then launched an attack, making the Samnite surrounded on all sides.

But for Zhao Yuanlang, bad news came. After learning of Brutus' death, the Senate quickly elected new consuls - Decius, who was born a commoner, and Fabius, who was born a noble.

Moreover, the new consul's only job when he arrived at the front line was to take over all command. Faced with the flawless and fair Decius, although Zhao Yuanlang was indignant, he had no choice.

More importantly, Decius's father was a hero who died in the Great Latin War, and many veterans in the army were under his father's command.

Decius was quite nice and acknowledged Zhao Yuanlang as the deputy commander of this army, but he was only in charge of the rear army.

Silanus was even more miserable than Zhao Yuanlang. Not only was his command successfully seized by Fabius, but he was only appointed as the quartermaster of the army. What a shame!

Politics! This thing, really. Oh!

But soon, Zhao Yuanlang regained the command. The advancing Zhao Yuanlang received good news, but it was sad news for Rome, as the consul Decius died heroically.

Outside Lucera, the capital of the Gauls, the armies of both sides were on high alert.

Decius was too arrogant. He thought that Rome was too powerful at the moment. So he did not arrange the trebuchet troops at the first time. He even contemptuously agreed to a fair and just battle with the Gauls outside the city.

Unfortunately, although Decius was good at politics, his command was a mess. At the beginning of the war, because of Decius' contempt, he suffered a double charge from Gallic chariots and Gallic cavalry.

Instead of reorganizing his troops, Decius ordered his cavalry to charge in an attempt to stop the enemy's cavalry and chariots. However, the route of attack was blocked by the defeated soldiers, and the entire cavalry unit was stuck in a quagmire.

Fortunately, at this critical moment, Decius dismounted, prayed to the gods, called on his father's name for protection, and then took the lead and rushed towards the enemy.

The old soldiers, who were originally in the process of collapse, were so ashamed when they saw their commander charging into the enemy camp alone that they turned around and joined the battle again.

The battle was in a stalemate. Although Decius and his men successfully resisted the Gaul cavalry and chariots, they were soon surrounded by the Gallic infantry corps that swarmed in.

Zhao Yuanlang did not rush to rescue Decius because the Gallic barbarians had learned their lesson and had arranged an ambush in advance. The ambush rushed out of the dense forest and entangled with Zhao Yuanlang's troops.

As time passed, Decius died of exhaustion, his body full of Gallic weapons.

The front-line troops completely collapsed, and many people began to flee for their lives.

At this critical moment, Zhao Yuanlang finally resolved the Gauls' ambush and led his cavalry to the defeated Roman soldiers. He reorganized his troops in an orderly manner and prepared to launch a counterattack.

"What is destruction? As long as you think that these Gallic barbarians are stronger than you, this is destruction! Have you forgotten the weak Gauls in Lucera? Roman warriors, are you worse than these weak Gauls? I will never allow us to fail! We are the invincible Romans! It's time to roar for battle! Who wants to conquer death with me!"

The originally defeated Roman soldiers stopped and looked at the Roman heroes, roaring!

"Zeus! Long live Rome! Romans, attack!" As Zhao Yuanlang led his cavalry to attack the advancing Gauls, all the Roman soldiers burst into tears.

Of course, Zhao Yuanlang would not forget to activate his skill, the primary morale. As the people around Zhao Yuanlang hit their shields with their weapons, they began to shout along with Zhao Yuanlang. Then the entire army also began to hit their shields and let out a uniform roar!

"Zeus above! Long live Rome! Romans, attack!"

The Gauls were stunned by the roar of the Romans. They couldn't understand why the Romans, who had already begun to collapse, suddenly regained their morale and issued a battle roar.

The entire Roman army regrouped and began to attack following Zhao Yuanlang.

What made Zhao Yuanlang happy was that his primary morale was successfully upgraded to intermediate morale, and was even just one step away from being upgraded to advanced morale, and he also gained a whopping 477 faith points.

Intermediate Morale: Medium atmosphere improves the morale of the troops, and adds fanaticism and fearless warrior status to the whole army, greatly improving faith and attack. The effect lasts for half an hour, and the interval is three hours.

This buff is really invincible, not only can it increase faith but also increase attack! It is really a commander's weapon!

Zhao Yuanlang was the first to rush into the enemy camp. After smashing an enemy chariot into pieces with a mace, he immediately launched a battle cry. The enemy soldiers who were originally stunned in place became even more miserable, as they were viciously stabbed by the following Roman cavalry.

The battlefield was filled with the Gauls' panicked shouts and the brief sound of metal clashing. The entire Gauls' cavalry and chariot units were completely paralyzed, and they were killed one after another by the furious Romans.

After successfully destroying the Gauls' cavalry and chariot troops, Zhao Yuanlang regrouped his troops. Looking at the Gauls who were ready for battle, Zhao Yuanlang shouted to Nemian, who immediately ran towards the Gauls.

The cavalrymen behind Zhao Yuanlang held high the flags in their hands and let them fly in the wind. Nemian's speed was so fast that the cavalrymen behind Zhao Yuanlang could not catch up with his momentum at all.

However, countless Roman soldiers followed closely behind, and they saw Zhao Yuanlang rushing towards the enemy. The cavalry behind Zhao Yuanlang also chased closely and rushed into the Gauls' formation with great momentum.

In the eyes of the enemy and Roman soldiers, Zhao Yuanlang was simply an invincible warrior, even more majestic than the god of war Ares (the Romans should actually call him Mars, the reason for writing Ares here has been mentioned in the previous article).

Zhao Yuanlang raised the mace in his hand and swung it continuously. Each attack could take the lives of several people. Nemian under Zhao Yuanlang's command really pounced and bit. The invincible performance of this man and beast completely crushed the morale of the Gauls.

The Gaul army began to flee, and the collapse of the front line caused many Gauls to die under the swords of the Romans. Many Roman soldiers shouted "Long live Rome! Kill!" while mercilessly killing the enemy, because this was their most glorious battle, a battle in which they turned defeat into victory, and a battle of revenge.

The Gauls were completely defeated. Zhao Yuanlang not only rode his horse to chase them for ten miles, but also ordered the massacre of all the Gauls in Atenum.
