Chapter 3 God’s Will (Part 2)

Here, Caesar had already led his cavalry into the broken carriage camp of Seweve. Everything was covered with burning ruins and corpses lying in a pool of blood. When he saw Lepidus and Coda, he hurriedly asked the Gallic people. The two people on the opposite side confidently answered whether the tribe's hostages in the car camp were safe. Most of them had been rescued. Caesar felt relieved. Then he pointed at the two people under the eagle flag and gave the order:

"This battle is different from the previous war against the Helvetii. There is no need for any mercy. All the Germanian barbarians must be frightened and let them know the price of crossing the Renus River at will. I ordered that we stand in the way. All personnel in front of our army, regardless of the old, weak, women, children, or royal civilians, will be treated as enemies. After destroying the carriage camp, your two legions will sweep along the Renous River and all areas of Besançon, burning all Kill all the men in the German villages, seize all the cattle and property, and completely eliminate their traces on the west coast of Renus!"

Even Lepidus and Coda thought this order was too cruel, but they both knew that this was Caesar, a smart but cruel Romanist who was still fighting for what the Seweve cavalry had given him before. Angry at the harm he had caused, he needed to let his enemies know the price of being an enemy of the Republic.

Next to the ditch, rows of Serweavers stood numbly on the edge of the ditch. They were then stabbed down with swords or javelins by the Roman soldiers behind them. They fell into the ditch one by one and were buried under wood and soil. As for the noble men and women, their clothes were torn off, their trousers were taken off, they were nailed to crosses while screaming, and then they were held upright by ropes. It took a long time before they slowly bled to death.

Under the brim of his helmet, Lepidus' eyes followed the owl's advance and the orderly footsteps of his men. From time to time, he looked at the pile of corpses of the murdered barbarians outside the camp. The legionnaires were climbing on the mountain of corpses to pick up valuables. At this time, there was a sound of horse hooves, and Dusonville followed up with the attached cavalry. Through the interpreter, he asked Lepidus: "Your Excellency, Commander, I have followed your order and used each wing as a reading unit, along the A thorough back-and-forth sweep of the enemy was carried out on Dukes Mountain and the Renus River."

Lepidus signaled to Sabo next to him, and Sabo cleared his throat and gave instructions: "Don't completely separate the small wings, but know how to cooperate. Combine the three small wings into one big wing. Two will pursue, and one will run slowly to rest. Alternately Let's start, it's best to lay it out in a triangular shape..." When it came to the triangle, Sabo noticed that Dusonville looked confused, so he could only stop, emphasize "Alternately" and ended.

Even this kind of pursuit tactic has already caused disaster to the Seweifu people who escaped from the car camp. Many people ran to the roadside and died of exhaustion with bleeding from their mouths and noses. Some people hid in the sun on the river bank. The Germanic villages were massacred and destroyed by the Roman legions along with the indigenous people. And Ariovistus killed two horses, and all the nobles and attendants around him died. Only then did he break through the Roman interceptions and pursuits, and ran to the other side of Dukes Mountain, where the Renus River is. It re-bends into a big meander, and the east side of the mighty river is his hometown.

Fourteen years ago, he led thousands of strong tribes across here and showed off his power on the horseshoe of Gaul. How many enemies did he trample on their dignity? But now there is nothing left. The 120,000 Weaver people (plus servant tribes and volunteers of the same race) finally escaped, probably no more than 20,000 people.

The wind blew by the river, and Ariovistus on horseback saw an ownerless boat rocking violently in the long grass on the shore. Only then did he understand the true meaning of the witch's divination:

"My king, Renus River will definitely help you."

I see! I see! Ariovistus felt a sense of humiliation at being teased by the gods, and could not help but sob in a low voice, but he also had a wife with two daughters, and he had to transfer the royal family back so that Sewefer could have hope of continuing to survive and reproduce.

Just as he jumped off his horse, he was about to fetch the boat with his only two followers, his two daughters and his wife from the Nolegum tribe (the tribe is of the Gaulish race and is the Aliovese After Tus invaded Gaul, the king of the tribe married his sister, who was Ariovistus's second wife, in order to please him. He gritted his teeth and refused to cry (if he was afraid of the enemy's Crying is the greatest shame for a German woman), sitting under the shade of a tree.

At this time, the commander of the twelfth legion, led by the Vibichinas cavalry, chased up. The golden mountain falcon flag swayed majestically amidst the rumble of horse hooves, and the sharp Celtic "Sparta" Under the sword, a group of Germans who were helplessly escaping fell down one after another and turned into dead souls. When the head of a blond German was split open, the opponent's blood spattered on his cloak and scarf. Similar to the Romans, they all had black hair. Lepidus, whose eyes turned black, suddenly had an inexplicable feeling in his heart - it turns out that these guys were so barbaric and backward, so miserable, and so willing to be slaughtered many years ago!

Many of Sweaver's soldiers were slaughtered, and some of the remaining people jumped into the Renus River. Some swam in vain towards the other side (most of them could not reach it), and some swayed in the river for a few moments. , and sank without a trace.

At this time, a cavalry spearhead suddenly saw three women sitting under the shade of a tree a furlong in the distance. He shouted and rushed over, swinging his spear and sword.

"Let me go, let me go!" Ariovistus stretched out his hand and was held tightly by two attendants. He shouted sadly to his wife and daughter. He was forced to be pulled onto the ship, but he was absolutely incapable of fighting with him. Hope to rescue them.

Aliovistus' wife looked at her husband being pulled onto the boat, and then saw the ferocious cavalry rushing towards them. She immediately understood everything and ran towards the boat screaming. The leading Vipicinus shouted that the Severians who oppressed Gaul should die, and threw the cavalry spear in his hand, which pierced the wife of Areovistus from the shoulder to the waist. His wife turned twice in a strange posture on the spot, and then was hit by the horse's head, and rolled into the Renus River with the spear.

Aliovistus, who was getting farther and farther away from the shore, saw the tragic death of his second wife, and cried out, his heart was broken, and then he saw the rough Gallic cavalry began to circle around his daughter who was crying and running around in vain, laughing as if they were playing with two dying animals.

"Don't kill them all!" Commander Li Bi Da, who came from behind, shouted, but he soon realized that his language was incomprehensible to the subordinate barbarian cavalry, so he quickly called for an interpreter to speak. (To be continued.)
