Chapter 32 Fear of War (Part 2)

Several nobles suggested to the tribal chief Dusongvier to rush through the pass with the cavalry, but Dusongvier was completely disappointed and said what to do with the camp vans left behind? They were all descendants of our women and children, especially when he saw the rod-casting weapons and crossbows standing on both sides of the pass, he made up his mind to surrender.

To his surprise, when he jumped off his horse and walked to the Roman commander's tent, the commander neither asked him to take off his clothes nor let him drill into the yoke gate. Instead, he gently sootheed him and his tribe members through the translation, handed over some of the food supplies, and even allowed them to retain baggage and weapons, but there was also the condition, "as a minion army, provide blood tribute to the legion."

Under the arrangement of Li Bida, Dussenvier indeed took his tribe to settle in the inland of Gaul and chose the address of the hamlet, pasture and fields. This surprised all tribesmen, because they did not have to be sold to the hot Italian island with their relatives to be slaves. This is the greatest fortune in itself. What's more, the land and climate of the new home are much stronger than the black river that was so gloomy that there was no sunshine all day long. As long as the seeds are sown here and the priests of the cuckoo god will have a lot of harvest in the coming year.

So as promised, the 1,000 tribal cavalry below Dussenvier were transformed into the "affiliated legion cavalry wings" of the 12th Legion. In Lusitania, Libida formed a mixed infantry and cavalry team in Lusitania, but later it was disbanded for various reasons. But today he did not spend a single shot or a single shot or a single Seth, and used his power to recruit this group of Gaul cavalry that did not need to cooperate with infantry. It was really cost-effective.

The rest is to change the organization, the armor and the flag.

During this period, Li Bida began to slightly reform the original soldier committee. He asked only those who invited the statue of King Numa to the tent to worship him were qualified to serve as a member. He also engraved the entries of the committee on a bronze plate and placed them in the tent for the members to experience and view. The most core words are "loyalty, honor, obedience, consultation."

However, the right to distribute the allowances is still in the hands of the Soldiers Committee, and it is still distributed every two supply days, that is, once a month. Now Li Bida feels that everything is fine, and just waits for Caesar to start a war against the Germans on both sides of the Renus River, but Rabinus soon finds him. He says the atmosphere in the military camp is very strange.

"When the camp opened, many soldiers believed the nonsense of the traveling merchants and were afraid of the German barbarians. Many people refused to move to the camp to fight."

Therefore, Rabinus asked Li Bida to investigate the situation in the 12th Legion camp and submit it to Caesar as soon as possible.

Li Bida thought for a while and immediately announced the ban on the battalion after Rabinus left, not only did he allow Sabo to form a baggage team affiliated with artillery units as soon as possible during this period, but also pulled all the Vibichinas cavalry into the camp to avoid being infected by this panic plague. Next, strict training and engineering training were conducted. Li Bida reiterated his requirements during his time in Lusitania, where infantry built city walls or dug trenches every day, while cavalry had to practice on the hunting ground every day.

As for the submitted documents, Li Bida was casually confused. By the way, he came to the main camps of Caesar outside of Stadia, but saw His Excellency the Governor standing among a group of generals, roaring:

"This is a shame for the Romans. So many well-equipped and well-supplied legions would be afraid of a group of barbarians across the River Renus. They had no tactical exercises, no equipment manufacturing technology, no architectural aesthetics, and were not as good as the Celtics. At least the latter could make four-wheeled carriages! But you are afraid. Now all kinds of Germanic legends are spread in the barracks, saying that when the Gauls face them, they dare not look at each other with their eyes in front of them! They said that every Germanic person was nine Roman rulers tall, and their waist circumference was just Roman rulers.

The sword is as long as nine Roman rulers, each with a Hercules-like body, and it is invincible." After saying that, Caesar threw the Guye Guan on the ground and shouted angrily to the Gangs: "The Germans are humans, not deep-sea giants! Bastards, should I sacrifice to the messenger god Mercury, and let him use the snake's fork to entrap the undead of my uncle, Marriott, come out of the underworld and tell him how he defeated the 300,000 Cimbri and Teutonic people before? Aren't they also residents of Germania? And now, you!"

As he said that, Caesar shook a thick stack of documents on the table, "These military civil servants, this one said that his back pain was about to leave the army to recuperate. This one said that his servant who was brought to the barracks had his legs injured and could not move forward. The other one said that the mule he raised was dead and could not move forward to the opposite of the Renus River, because he had to rely on his mule to pass through the Black Forest." After that, Caesar put his words in front of all the generals.

The board hit the ground hard, stepped on it a few times, and then he was still not relieved. He said, "I passed my order, and the back pain immediately turned to the 10th Army as the chief of the fortifications, and moved the heaviest wood and bricks for me; the one who left the slave could not do anything, commanded a baggage team and let him be his companion with the military slaves; and the one who died of a mule immediately deprived him of his position as an officer and went to the first line of the first brigade of the Seventh Army to be an infantryman!"

After promulgating these resolutions, Caesar paused and lowered his head to breathe. The surrounding generals did not even dare to breathe.

A moment later, Caesar raised his finger and said, "Convene a joint meeting. Now!"

Rabinus then asked in a low voice, "Then I'll call out all the centurions of the first brigades of each legion?"

"No." Caesar stood up slowly, "calling all the legions, whether formal or auxiliary, all six legions, all the centurions of all the Centurions of all the Centuries."

This order is very explosive. You should know that according to convention, there are only ten deputy generals, the guardians of the legion, and the chief centurion of the first brigade of the legion and the rest of the centurions. If Caesar's six legions were together, there would be only one hundred and thirty people qualified to attend the meeting (each legion is about fifty-nine centurions). However, this time Caesar asked all centurions to come to the meeting, and the lineup of attending the meeting suddenly expanded to about 4450, which was indeed surprising.

Caesar is going to have a full-scale showdown!
