Augustus Under the Horseshoe

Julian calendar 405, Julius month, the first day. (June 1, 405 AD)

After a night of bloodshed and massacre, Breda mercilessly beheaded sixty-six nomads, as well as hundreds of stubborn or unpleasant dissidents, using absolute power to kill them. The fear of the Shapeshifter and himself has become the new Chief Hoarfrost.

However, among the remaining 14,000 horses and horses, more than 10,000 are underage ponies. The remaining more than 3,000 are old, weak, sick and disabled. Not only are they unable to provide combat power for the tribe, they also need people. protection.

Painhurs made a decisive decision and asked Breda to write in his own name, telling the people what happened inside the tribe, and then selected four out of the Panticapone elves who accompanied the tribe to reach the five-ring area. The mage.

Their arbitrary door can carry three people to move quickly. After one person runs out of his spell slots, the second, third, and fourth people continue to use any door to take others to quickly transmit, racing against time to deliver the letter.

Taking into account the presence of the First Central Army and a small number of imperial troops next to those people, the warchief only allowed them, who are also elves, to perform tasks. If an accident occurs, at least the elves are not as conspicuous as the elves and hide in the elves’ settlements. There is no sense of violation and.

The wizards of Panticapone shrugged, took the letter and immediately tore an arcane rift in space.

They have a lack of goodwill for the elves here—the oldest batch of elves in the city-state, and even the first generation of pioneers and colonists who went out from Greece, turned out happily to return to their hometown to see that the elves here are actually the same. With a proud face, he raised his chest and said that he was a human being in Rome...Krylon heard this and wanted to hit someone.

Moreover, the two white horses were not afraid of those 15,000 people, and refused to submit like the people here. Their children, the next generation, are now in the hands of Bleda.

In this way, the tribe took a rest in this pasture for one night. Some servants assisted the locals in packing up their luggage, taking away everything that could be taken away, and destroying everything that could not be taken away. The noisy scene continued until dawn.

"WAAAGH!!!"

The tribe scouts looked vigilantly towards the east where the loud noise was being made. The dust in the sky rose from the horizon accompanied by a deafening roar, and the sound of beast claws trampling on the earth, accompanied by the rude and wild roar of green skin shook the sky and the earth.

The green-skinned army of Beast Leonardo arrives.

"Ha! Dude! The elves here are strong!"

A two-footed wyvern with a head and feet that was three times larger than the others of the same kind, whizzed out of the clouds and fell heavily to the ground.

The burly body covered with scales even wore a strange chain armor-Roman style, barbarian style, prairie style chain mail was stitched together like rags, and barely covered it. The huge body of an evil beast.

"Reminds me of the fierce battle when everyone got into Gredinian six years ago!"

The beast Leonardo jumped from the back of the wyvern. On the flag on his back, a few elven heads wearing centurion helmets were newly hung, and so on, the helmet of the middle head was... The scarlet vertical mane of the war captain.

"How about the casualties?"

"The battle damage is one to one. These people are really tenacious. The spell bombing is always a headache. Obviously we have a superior number. In the end, we paid a thousand casualties to eat this thousand-man sharp-eared force. ——There are still many troops of this size, and they have assembled on a large scale."

"Tsk, a headache."

Painhurs looked sadly at these hoarfrost horses and the old, weak and sick-they severely slowed the movement of the army.

Moreover, a more serious problem was exposed to the tribe-the first Central Army's move to take away the people and horses was probably deliberate.

If the army is now chasing the Hoarfrost Army migrating to the west, it is very likely to be attacked by the First Central Army and the Eastern Field Army.

Painhurs quickly opened a map of Asia Minor. This very detailed map of Anatolia was based on his own historical knowledge, the migration experience of the Greymane clan, the tribe’s combat path here, and the Gothic Navy’s The survey on the southern coast of the Black Sea is painted together. It’s not too detailed, but it’s not too much.

"Send more messengers to tell all the invading tribal cavalry! Let's go to the southern bank of the Black Sea, the administrative center of Cappadocia province: Trabzonspor!"

The warchief hammered the map hard and planned his marching route.

"There, we can get the help of the Eastern Gothic navy, and at the same time, by attacking the city, forcing the eastern field army to fight with us! First defeat them, and then chase the people to the west-rest assured, Brada, the elf messenger early Just set off, unless your 15,000 people are fools, otherwise after receiving the information, they will find ways to delay or even interfere with the marching speed. Moreover, if we can find a chance to defeat the Eastern Field Army, we will have a way to capture a large number of them. Elf soldiers, use them as a bargaining chip in exchange for your people."

"Your will!"

Julian calendar 405, Julius month, the third day. (June 3, 405 AD)

Two days later, two large-scale legions gathered on the southern shore of the Black Sea.

On the tribe's side, a total of 30,000 elite men and horses wore heavy armor, Roman chain armor, Persian scale armor, grassland hybrid armor, and a variety of messy heavy armor gleaming with metal in the sun.

Twelve thousand orcs, sixteen thousand cats, ten thousand goblins, one thousand satyr bards, and a thousand light cavalry drawn from the dwarf generals among the three thousand hoarfrost tribes.

30,000 heavy knights and 40,000 light knights are ready to go! The mighty Gothic fleet landed on the northern beach. The barbarian king Asana personally led a romanized Gothic priest, court guards, and oath warriors to join the battlefield, and rode a strong steed carried by men and horses to become a cavalry speed A sequence of infantry that moves and then dismounts to fight in formation.

More importantly, in the Eastern Roman Navy, half annihilated by Sassanid Persian, it had to defend the huge Mediterranean and Constantinople. Today, the number of fleets is stretched, this Gothic fleet that almost dominates the Black Sea, From the Caucasus fortress, twenty hill giants were transported for the chieftain—the hill giants carrying two counterweights bombarding the city on both shoulders!

Looking at the magnificent army under his command, Painhurs couldn't help but feel complacent. Now, with the order of his own, 70,000 brave athletes obeyed his will and gathered to respond! The dense army extended to the end of the field of vision, countless cyan dragon flags almost obscured the blue sky, the roar of shaking the sky, and the strong wall of Trabzonspor almost roaring!

The tribe also chose a battlefield for themselves-just outside Trabzonspor, in the hills and hills of Asia Minor, an extremely flat area, well-kept farmland, densely covered with verdant malt, and more nearby. It is a large flat pasture where the advantages of the tribal cavalry will be maximized-as for trampling on the farmland, this is not our own land.

And their enemy is by no means mediocre. Twenty-two field battle regiments belonging to the Eastern Field Army have gathered into a torrent of terror. The 18 border war regiments stationed on the border of Armenia are also long overdue. A total of 40,000 are equipped with top-notch weapons and armor. The soldiers of the empire marched in a neat line, their red cloaks were fluttering in the wind, and a red-faced eagle flag was hunting in the strong wind!

And those foreign troops composed of Thracian barbarians, Tainukhs in the desert, Cretan tauren, mountain giants, and local hunters, mercenaries, and mighty forces total 30,000. The crowd!

A war of the largest scale since the Sassanid Persian invasion began on the outskirts of Trabzonspor on the southern coast of the Black Sea.

————————————————

Although the number of troops in the Eastern Roman Empire is comparable to that of its own, the total number of cavalry is only 20,000. Except for the 22 field regiments and the 8,800 Persian heavy cavalry, there are only a few steppe archers. , And the camel cavalry of the Taihenu, the rest are infantry sequences wearing heavy armor.

The commander of this war was the former commander of the 4th Sisu Army Corps, the Imperial Commander, and the highest military commander of the Eastern Field Army-Peturabo.

This extremely cunning and scheming veteran led a large army to occupy the nearby hills and did not have the slightest intention of entering this farmland and pasture. The veterans of the original Fourth Army immediately removed the parts of the scorpion crossbow from the back of the pack beast, and began to assemble the war machinery on the spot, seduce the tribe to attack the hill.

Seeing the actions of the Eastern Roman soldiers, Pain Hess smiled slightly. This is why he put the decisive battle place in Trabzonspor. Attacking Peturabo and the hills where the East Roman army is armed? What a joke.

"Everyone retreat! The farther away you get from that hill, the better! The hill giant? Where's the hill giant? Beast Leonardo, pull out all your skills! See the walls and gates of Trabzonspor Boom!"

Painhurs drew his sword and commanded the Horde's army.

"The elves want to guard the high ground? Just let them guard it! I will take you to break this city! Look, this is a rich and glorious Roman city! The wealth in it is so much that you people dream of Unexpectedly! I don't take any money! You can grab as much money as you can! And the first soldier to invade the city, I will be promoted to the head of ten thousand households!"

Seeing the bloodthirsty and warlike prairie athletes trembling from excitement, even the bloodshot eyes of the grassland athletes, Pain Hess laughed.

"But be careful, the main purpose of our siege is to get the people from the field battle group to come down and support! If they can bear this, we will burn the city to its embers and sing and dance! Citizens? Pull all out, Beheaded one by one in front of these elves! I want to see, how long can he endure?!"
