There is no so-called collective person. Everyone is specific, and the individual is the most important. Everyone is Christ to me. She is the only person in the world at that moment.
Sister Teresa (a world-renowned Catholic charity worker who established the Renai Missionary Church)
With 130,000 soldiers rushing back more than ten miles of Veriasius, he did not give up the great opportunity to overthrow the Eastern Conference because of the defeat of a battle; instead, he was a new model The army has a very strong curiosity.
Rather than being an independent force, it is better to say that it is the Eastern Alliance of the multi-tribal consortium. What is the overall strength and military situation of Veriasius? It is clearer than anyone else’s heart; as an old saying goes, the person who knows you best, Always be your enemy.
So, Veriasius knew that this sudden army was definitely not an Eastern Alliance army; otherwise, how could the Eastern Alliance’s 700,000 troops be defeated so badly? If we show that the enemy is weak, then we will not achieve this level.
I don’t know why. At the first glance of this new army, Veriasius unconsciously reminisced about the rebellion in the south of his tribe; this feeling is like the one provoked by this army. Like the rebellion!
There are two generals, Roderick and Hall, who assist themselves in commanding the army. Veriasius, who has not been in the battlefield for several years, has full confidence in defeating the enemy in front of him; even if the other party has an extremely powerful heavy cavalry Troops, but what about that?
The 4,000 heavy cavalry of Antio, in the opinion of Veriasius, is indeed a brave and invincible elite cavalry unit; even if it is so, it does not mean that this cavalry is a team Invincible army.
Looking at the battlefield where 20,000 soldiers under his command died, the sharp-eyed Veriasius, Roderick, and Hall have their own gains; among them, only Rodrick and Hall, Several methods were proposed to deal with the heavy cavalry of the enemy.
With a total of only 4,000 heavy cavalry, no matter how powerful the combat power is, it is impossible to become a key force on the battlefield to determine victory or defeat; as long as the appropriate preparations are made for the response, Veriasius can be sure to wipe out the enemy in this battle. An elite cavalry unit.
As for the 10,000 light cavalry who later rushed to the battlefield to kill the Quartet, from the beginning to the end, Veriasius did not care about this larger cavalry unit; because he could see that the cavalry unit’s combat effectiveness , Far inferior to that cavalry unit.
Out of trust in the combat effectiveness of his soldiers, Veriasius did not have much guard against the 60,000 infantry other than the two cavalry under Lucius; he did not think that his own Lucy soldiers fought But every 60,000 enemy infantry.
Since Veriasius did not withdraw the army, but instead prepared a ready posture to lead the army at any time; then, the large army soldiers were here and had just won a small victory over a 20,000 enemy, even less Perhaps he took the initiative to lead the army to retreat.
The remnants of the Eastern Union trapped in the camp clearly ran out of food in the camp, but they dared not leave the camp one step; the two large armies outside the camp staring at the camp let the Eastern Union remnants and soldiers in the camp feel for the first time The taste of despair.
The Eastern Union remnants and soldiers who have fallen into a place of life and death have to put all their hopes on their respective tribal leaders; this is also the consistent principle of the tribal army of the Eastern Union, and unconditionally obey any orders of their tribal leaders.
The crux of the problem lies in the inability to produce food out of thin air, and the tribal leaders who are surrounded by troops. In the face of this precarious situation, what hope can they bring to the disabled soldiers?
The choice before the leaders of the tribes in the Eastern Alliance is nothing more than two: one, staying at the camp, waiting for the enemy's attack, and then coexisting with the camp; second, surrendering to one of the two enemy forces , In order to obtain the chance of survival.
The reason why there is no option to kill the encirclement is not because the leaders of the tribes of the Eastern Alliance do not want to fight hard, but because they have no strength at all; with the current strength of the Eastern Alliance’s remnants, choosing to break through is simply to seek death. road!
The army of Luquis, east of the camp, consists of 60,000 infantry and 10,000 cavalry, and 4,000 super cavalry who reap the enemy like a scythe of death; the west of the camp has more than 130,000 soldiers. It is also a behemoth in the eyes of the remnants of the Eastern Alliance.
The two enemy forces outside the camp are both powerful and insurmountable by the Eastern Alliance remnants; the seemingly simplest option to stay in the camp is not so good, because there is no longer any food available in the camp. food.
What no food means for a remnant army of up to 70,000 cannot be understood by the leaders of the tribes of the Eastern Alliance; if they really choose to stay on the camp, it will only take three to five days at most, and they will be hungry defeat.
At that time, the remaining Eastern Alliance remnants who had lost their final negotiation capital would probably have to surrender unconditionally; to understand this, the leaders of the Eastern Alliance had to find a better way for the future of their respective tribes. The right choice.
The so-called more appropriate choice is nothing more than whether they surrendered to an unidentified enemy east of the camp, or to the army of Lucy west of the camp; it was night, the two Eastern Alliance cavalry, one east and one west left them Camp.
Veriasius, who had a grudge with the Eastern League, bluntly rejected the beggars of the Eastern Alliance remnants and warned the Eastern Alliance negotiators: within three days, if the Eastern Alliance remnants did not surrender unconditionally, after the camp was broken, Lu The Western Army will slaughter all the living!
In order to ensure that the good reputation of the city of Rome will not be damaged, Ruques, who has no enmity with the Eastern Alliance, has not made any promises that cannot be fulfilled; but he still has no intention of begging for such a conditional remnant of the Eastern Alliance. Hesitantly refused.
The conditions that Luquez gave the Eastern League negotiators: the Eastern Alliance remnants must surrender unconditionally to the city of Rome, and the Roman city can give them the promise is that as long as the remnant soldiers are willing to lay down their weapons, they will be safe after the war. Home.
The two replies brought back by the negotiators of the two teams left the leaders of the Eastern League with no choice; the murderous warning of Viriasius was indeed daunting, and the leaders of the Eastern League did not dare to throw themselves in the net.
Surrendering to unidentified strong enemies became the only choice of the Eastern League leaders; after the resolutely popular Eastern League leaders made a decision that night, and the next morning, the remnant soldiers under their command became the army of Luquez The camp door was opened.
Not wanting to allow his army to be bound by the camp, Lucius sent only 30,000 soldiers of the 5th and 6th Corps into the Eastern Alliance remnant army camp. On the one hand, he sent food to the Eastern Alliance remnant soldiers. On the one hand, he made sure There was no change in the surrendered Eastern Alliance remnants.
Knowing that he was forced to force the remnants of the Eastern Alliance, it is because the Eastern Alliance remnants will surrender to unidentified enemy forces, and Veriasius still did this; that is because Veriasius wanted to use this method. , To disperse the enemy's already limited strength!
