Qiang Qin

Chapter 526 The Battle of the Danube

If you fall behind, you will be beaten.

Under the threat of several conquests by the Qin army, the Romans' three armies used their lives, and with the help of heavy snow, severe cold and high mountains, they managed to temporarily stop the momentum of the Qin army.

However, before the Romans were lucky enough to come over, another round of offensive by the Qin army was launched again. Li Yuan, who had experienced countless vicious battles, was more than a step ahead of Scipio in terms of strategic vision and ability to control the overall situation. Sensing that the Romans intended to shrink the line of defense and hold on to procrastinate the war, he immediately changed the direction of using troops.

Since the Alps are difficult to cross for a while, let's put it aside for a while. The Romans are now in a state of desperation. Their weaknesses are not limited to the domestic and the central and western fronts.

The 18th year of the Great Qin calendar, December.

Near the Aquiku River, the southern tributary of the Danube, a strangely dressed army is marching rapidly from south to north. They completely ignore the snowstorm and severe cold weather. Their sudden appearance disrupts the Danube. The area has been stalemate for a long time.

This army of about 5 Qin troops marching northward from the Alps was commanded by Li Yuan himself. Their arrival immediately cut off the retreat of the Eunice Roman Legion, which was fighting independently on the northern front.

A big battle begins in the cold wind of winter.

With 7 Roman generals in the Eunice Legion, plus 10 to [-] Goths, on the side of Rome and its allies, there are about [-] troops on the northern front.On Qin's side, the [-] elite troops who went north plus Yang Wengzi's troops in the lower reaches of the Danube made a total of more than [-] people. The two sides were evenly matched on paper.

In the city of Aquiku.

The young and energetic Younis had a livid face and was calling his subordinates to boost morale. This time he was caught off guard by the sudden military changes of the Qin army.

The Qin army's central army braved the severe cold weather to cross the mountains and appear in the middle reaches of the Danube plain. In terms of timing, Li Yuan was very accurate. Now Pompey, who is struggling to support the central front, was suppressed and could not move. Scipio The head of Rome was hamstrung by the fiasco of the navy and domestic reforms, which made Eunice the weakest link in Rome along the way.

actually.The Romans were already paying attention to and vigilant about the intelligence of the Qin army's movements. However, to Younis' surprise, it was not the Qin army generals Luo Jia and Cao Xin who were afraid of the Romans, but It was Spartacus, a Thracian slave, and Li Yuan had the guts to trust a general of a foreign race, which made Younis feel extremely confused and puzzled.

"The Qin people are so relieved that they let a general of a foreign race hold military power. Aren't they afraid of Spartacus' rebellion? You know, white people and yellow people are born with different races. Fundamental change impossible?"

Now, Younis' troops are half surrounded in this area. If they don't want to give up the foundation they have finally laid, they can only choose to fight the Qin army in a decisive battle.

In the midst of being puzzled, Eunice's aggressive personality can no longer be suppressed, so what if he is surrounded?Although the Qin people had 4 troops on paper.But there are only [-] to [-] thousand people who really belong to the elite headquarters of the Qin Army. Since the strength of the two sides is similar, let's have a real fight to see each other.

A decisive battle requires men, soldiers and morale.

in this regard.Younis is confident. Opposite him is Meng Geer, the chief chief of the Goths, the most powerful tribe in the Danube River Basin.

"Chief, you and your people are the most powerful force on this plain. Like the eagle in the sky, all the prey in this area is your food if the Goths will. Therefore, for our common For the interests of the people, we must join hands without reservation and completely expel the Qin people from here——!"

Menger is the leader of the Goths. He is over fifty years old, his face is a little swollen, and one leg is bent unnaturally, like an old man who is about to go to the ground. However, his eyes are still sharp, especially After hearing Younis' agitation, the Gothic chief squinted his eyes and scanned an empty place in the hall as if he hadn't heard it.

"Great Chief, the Goths need rich pastures and more slaves. I, Great Rome, can provide you with these. How about Gaul, where the land is sparsely populated, what a place—!"

Younis is speaking faster and faster. Mengger is a cunning and cunning man. Obviously, he does not see the rabbits and does not scatter the eagles. In order to win over Goth, the most powerful ally, Younis decided to throw out the biggest bargaining chip in his hand. .

The Gaul province is the largest province outside of Rome except Iberia. Due to its close proximity to the Apennine Peninsula, the relationship between the Gauls and the Romans is also quite close. In the old Roman army , the Gaul Legion has always been the role of the charge, and this joint situation began to disintegrate after the Qin Army arrived in Europe, especially the rebellion of Peterus, an important former Roman general, which greatly weakened the Romans' control over Gaul.

"General, is that what you mean, or what is meant by the Grand Consul?" Menger finally spoke after being silent for a while.

"Of course it is the meaning of the great consul. As long as the Goths and my great Romans work together to fight against the Qin people, then the next benefits will not only be Gaul, but we can even take it from the Qin people." The Balkans, Greece, Anatolia, Egypt—the Great Chief doesn't want the warriors of the tribe to ride their horses and gallop in the eastern lands."

Younis has a good eloquence, and his encouragement was like drawing a delicious and tempting pie, which made Mengleton excited.

If the Gaul Peninsula is occupied by the Goths, the living conditions of their tribes will be greatly improved. At least they will not have to suffer from the Germans, Slavs, and Qin people as they are now, but if they can defeat them together with the Roman army For the invading Qin army, the benefits that can be divided up are even greater.

"General, you must keep your word. If you don't say anything else, I, the Gothic warrior, will never fall behind against that bastard in Thrace." Meng Ge's eyes flashed.

In the face of huge interests, he had no choice. The strength and decline of the Goths depended on one action. Facing a Qin army composed of miscellaneous brands, Meng Geer's old and weak body suddenly relaxed, and his facial expression also changed. Start to feel confident.

"Great Chief, as long as we unite closely to defeat the Qin people and regain our lost land, it will be just around the corner." Younis laughed loudly, being able to tie the Goths to his chariot was the key to victory. Next, Younis will plan carefully, find out the weaknesses of the Qin army, and strive to win the battle as soon as possible. (To be continued..)
