Roman Slave Owner

Let's do this, you take the cavalry among us. They are fast, what do you think?

Wufa said.

Thank you, Your Majesty.

Burton said happily.

At this time, cavalry was much more useful than infantry, so he took the cavalry assigned to him by Wulfa and swarmed toward the north.

After Teutonic and his entourage left, Wu Fa considered his family fortune.

They have suffered a total of more than 40,000 casualties in the past few days, and Burton has taken away more than 30,000 people. Now he only has about 330,000 men who can fight, but he still has to remove the Anglo and Saxon tribes that have lost their fighting capacity.

If we continue to attack with force, we will definitely suffer huge losses, and we must think of other ways.

Wu Fa kept thinking and soon came up with an idea.

The whole day passed in peace. In the Roman military camp, Li Wei was not careless. He thought about Wu Fa's possible countermeasures, and then called the generals to hold a military meeting.

If nothing else happens, the enemy may launch a night attack today. Wu Fa is not a person who gives up easily.

Levi said.

Then let's show him how good he is and entertain them tonight.

Lysias smiled.

You're right. All the soldiers are wearing their clothes and armor today. In addition, a large number of soldiers are sent out to conduct reconnaissance. If the enemy is discovered, they must be reported in time.

Levi said.

Your Majesty is wise.

Your Majesty is wise.

...

All the generals said one after another.

Late at night, a crescent moon hung high in the sky, and the entire military camp seemed to be shrouded in white gauze.

Li Wei personally led people to patrol at night, inspecting the conditions of various sentries to prevent anything from happening.

Due to the fear of enemy night attacks, there were particularly many people on night duty today.

But nothing happened in the first half of the night, and Levi didn't dare to be careless after 12 o'clock.

There was a sound of arrows outside the city wall, and Li Wei, who was patrolling, changed his face slightly. This was a signal sent back by the soldiers he sent outside.

Blow the bugle.

Levi said to the bugler who was following him.

The bugler quickly blew the bugle, and the melodious bugle resounded throughout the entire military camp, and then more bugles sounded. The military camp that was quiet just now was like boiling water.

A large number of poorly dressed soldiers rushed up to the city wall, while some were waiting below.

Wufa stared at the military camp in the distance, and was very disappointed when he saw the soldiers who attacked were blocked by the enemy.

But he still ordered the soldiers to attack. He wanted to see if he could achieve some results at night.

Explosions were heard one after another in front of the enemy's military camp, and the German attacks were repeatedly frustrated, which made his face extremely ugly.

After a night, in addition to leaving a large number of corpses, the enemy camp was still not broken, which made him feel extremely frustrated.

A week passed like this, Wu Fa tried every means to attack the enemy camp, but was still unable to break through Li Wei's camp.

On the contrary, the Germans suffered heavy losses, with more than 60,000 casualties, and the entire military camp was filled with the wails of wounded soldiers.

The morale of the army was extremely low. Many people were just coping with the attack, and they simply lost the morale they had before.

One morning, when Wufa was frowning, a German tribe general came over.

Your Majesty, we only have 20 days of food left. Please allow our people to go home.

Looking at the German general, Wulfa said: I remember that your tribe is located in the Black Forest. It doesn't seem like it will take so long.

When we came here, there was a fire in the Black Forest, so we took a long detour. Now I don't know if the fires have burned our tribe.

The German general said with a frown.

The corners of Wu Fa's mouth twitched. Levi was really capable of evil. He knew that the fire had not been extinguished yet.

Maybe it really burned his tribe...

Let's do this, our Sibebi tribe will be responsible for your food during this period.

Wu Fa thought for a while and said.

Thank you, Your Majesty.

The German general said happily.

Although I cannot leave here, it is good to solve the food problem.

Not long after, the Anglo general Teti and the Saxon general Er came over together.

After several days of training, El was finally able to get up.

It's just that he looks very bad and his face looks very pale.

Your Majesty, I wonder if you can support us with some food.

Taiti said.

You don't have any food anymore?

Wufa asked with a frown.

Yes, we must keep the food for the return trip. If there is no more food, we must go back.

El said.

Their tribe sent people and food to fight for Wu Fa, but the losses were so heavy that the two of them had long wanted to lead their own tribe back.

Okay, you go back first and I will reply to you tomorrow.

Wufa said.

The two looked at each other and then said, Okay then.

Wu Fa took a deep breath, then called his cronies to count the food supplies of the coalition forces of all ethnic groups.

The result is not optimistic. If the food needed for the return journey is retained, the entire army will only have enough food for three days on average.

Three days!

Wu Fa was a little scared when he thought of this number.

If the enemy camp is not breached within three days, then they must withdraw.

Just when he was worrying about food, the leaders of the three Teutonic tribes came together.

A smile appeared on Wufa's face. They were back, so they should repel the enemy's cavalry.

Your Majesty, thank you for the cavalry you sent. The enemy's cavalry had already escaped when we arrived.

Burton said with a grateful look on his face.

Hahaha, it's nothing. Just come back. By the way, how are your people?

Wufa said.

We have suffered great losses. Many gathering places of the Ambuang people have been burned down, cattle and sheep have been killed, and our people have been displaced. Not only do they have no food, but they also have no place to live.

General Anbuang said with a sullen face, now he wants to kill all those Romans.

Yeah.

Wu Fa suddenly felt something in his heart, and he had a bad feeling.

Sure enough, he was afraid of what he was going to do, and Burton's words confirmed his judgment.

Your Majesty, you know that Rome attacked the gathering place of the Cimbri people half a month ago. More than 300,000 Cimbri people moved north collectively. In addition, now the Ambuan people have been attacked again. Our Teutonic people have been We suffered heavy losses this year. Can you please support us with some food, otherwise we will starve to death.

Burton said.

Wu Fa's eyebrows jumped, why did he come to ask for food again.

How much food do you want?

Wulfa asked.

Our three tribes now have more than 800,000 people. It is best to provide our whole tribe with food for half a month. You know the winter here is extremely cold. Without houses and enough dry firewood, people will definitely freeze to death. We must pump out a lot of We need manpower to build housing, otherwise many people will die in the winter.”

Burton said.

Wu Fa was so angry that he couldn't speak. You want 800,000 people to eat for half a month. You might as well kill me.

I don't have so much food. You know there is a huge shortage of food in the camp right now.

Wufa said.

Then how much food can you lend us?

General Qinbri said eagerly.

Looking at the longing eyes of the three people, what could Wu Fa say?

Well, how about you take all your warriors back, let them hunt, and build you houses?

Wu Fa tried his best to say pleasantly.

Even so, we still have a big shortage of food. Can't we really borrow some first?

General Anbuang said anxiously.

Many of his people have become refugees, and if relief is not provided, many will die.

I must have borrowed it, but I can't borrow it now. As you know, there is no food at all in the military camp. How about this, Kadi and our tribe have collected some food and are transporting it here. How about giving it all to you when it arrives?

Wufa said.

How much food is there?

Burton asked eagerly.

This... is probably enough for your whole family to eat for a few days. You know that the Cardians were also attacked by the Romans. They were also relocating and didn't have much food at all. We also brought an army of 100,000 people to go on the expedition, and the food was too much for the army. Eat it.

Wufa said.

Hearing this, Burton and the others were very dissatisfied.

They fought for Wu Fa through life and death, and sacrificed hundreds of thousands of people under Wu Fa's instigation, but now they can't even borrow some food.

Wu Fa sighed and said, I also know your difficulties. Let's do this. You take your soldiers away first. I will send you the food later.

Okay then, let's go first.

Burton said, and then the three of them left here with unkind expressions.

Wu Fa's expression immediately turned gloomy, and he was afraid that the three clans would separate from him.

Now that he was so short of food and unable to capture the enemy camp, Wu Fa finally gave up.

But he was unwilling to withdraw like this, and soon he came up with a way, so he summoned the generals, and even Burton and others who were about to withdraw were summoned by him.

Everyone, everyone must be aware of the current situation. We don't have enough food, so I'm afraid we have to withdraw our troops.

Wufa said.

Hearing this, the faces of the German generals showed a hint of joy, which made Wulfa couldn't help but darken his face.

It seems that they have long lost their fighting spirit and have been wanting to withdraw their troops.

But if we withdraw like this, I'm afraid we will be overtaken by the Romans and defeated one by one.

Wulfa said, So I decided to resort to a trick. We pretended to withdraw and lured the Romans out of camp to pursue them.

The generals couldn't help but look at each other, but they didn't expect Wu Fa to still give up now.

What if the Romans didn't fall for it?

El asked.

Then we will really withdraw our troops.

Wufa said.

The generals discussed for a while, and although many of them were reluctant, they finally agreed.

Then Wu Fa began to make arrangements and ordered everyone to start withdrawing troops as planned.

Livi soon learned the news of the Germans' withdrawal, which made him overjoyed. He did not expect that they would be unable to hold on so quickly.

Your Majesty, what should we do next? Should we go north or south?

Lysias asked.

To go north is to attack the Teutonic Tribes, and to go south is to pursue Wufa.

Go south, capture the thief first and capture the king. I will defeat all the enemies in one fell swoop.

Levi said.

Although the Teutonic Tribes are currently in trouble internally and externally, now is a good opportunity to conquer them.

But Li Wei knew that Wu Fa was the core of the entire Germanic people. As long as he was eliminated, the Germanic people would be a ball of loose sand, and they could fight as they wanted.

Pass my order to send more cavalry to reconnoiter the enemy's situation. After confirming that the enemy has really withdrawn, we will start the pursuit.

Levi said.

There were countless tricks in the history of ancient Chinese wars. He thought he still needed to be careful to avoid capsizing in the gutter.

My Majesty, you are wise.

Lysias said.

So a large number of cavalry were sent out for reconnaissance, and the reconnaissance results seemed to indicate that the enemy had really retreated.

But Li Wei always felt that something was wrong. If he were Wu Fa, doing so would mean admitting failure.

Once he leads his troops south, Wu Fa will be dead.

He thought for a while and called Belius.

You understand the current situation, but I suspect this is a trap. I order you to lead all the cavalry south. Your mission is to harass the Anglo and Saxon coalition forces and try to delay their return. Eat them if you can. Part of the army.”

Levi said, But remember, once you find yourself in danger, you must retreat immediately.

His cavalry is stronger than the cavalry of the entire German army combined, and the cavalry is flexible and can run away if it cannot be beaten, so there is no need to worry about them.

Why don't you hold back the Speybee army?

Belius asked.

This is our test. I'm worried that if you really attack Sibebe's army, you may not be able to come back.

Levi said.

Okay then.

After receiving the order, Bellius left here with all the cavalry.

These days, the cavalry are exhausted. Although they can fight on the city wall, they are still warriors on horseback.

More than 30,000 cavalry were like a huge torrent, chasing the Anglo and Saxon armies that were retreating south.

They quickly fought fiercely with the cavalry of the two tribes. Relying on their huge numerical advantage, they quickly defeated the cavalry of the two tribes.

And they tightly bite the infantry of the two ethnic coalitions, and launch surprise attacks on them from time to time.

At this time, Taiti and El felt extremely depressed. Why did so many retreating armies focus on them?

This is unscientific. Whether it's going north to attack the Teutonic Tribe or going south to attack Speybee's army, it's much better than attacking them.

Although they were extremely puzzled, facing more than 30,000 cavalry, they were very difficult.

You must know that they suffered heavy losses this time, with more than 20,000 casualties and only about 30,000 people left able to fight.

The cavalry surrounded them so tightly that they didn't even dare to escape. Therefore, once they escaped, they would face a crazy pursuit by the enemy's cavalry.

Fortunately, they knew that Wu Fa would bring someone to help at any time, so they were not worried.

Did Livi just send out cavalry?

Wu Fa said with some disappointment.

Yes, we still have no sign of Roman infantry heading south.

said a German cavalryman.

Wu Fa was silent for a while, and then said: Let our cavalry be dispatched to encircle and suppress the enemy's cavalry, and then the whole army will retreat.

As you command, Your Majesty.

At this time, Bellius led the cavalry to attack the Anglo-Saxon coalition. A large number of Armenian cavalry ran past the enemy's flanks and fired arrows into the formations of the two tribes.
