Mid-December 516.
Three legions of the Lyuguron family guarded the Port Leptis area, and Yamasaki led three crossbow cavalry legions to Cyrene.
The Gelong army caught up with the retreating tribe and, in their vigilance, crossed their ranks.
At the same time, the ransom transaction between the Kingdom of Gron, the Kingdom of Visigoth and the Kingdom of East Goth began.
They exchanged sets of alloy crossbows and crossbow bolts with them, and the Visigoth Kingdom and the East Goth Kingdom immediately equipped their troops after receiving the alloy crossbows. …
Cyrene region.
After arriving here, I realized that the Cyrene area had actually been the territory of the Eastern Roman Empire for a long time, or that it had long been surrendered to the Eastern Roman Empire.
The previous battle had spread. Eastern Rome sent a regular legion, the Mobile City Crossbow Guard Legion, and three slave archer legions to suppress the formation. The tribes here also dispatched four nomadic archer legions and ten non-warrior slave infantry. Legion.
They set up a defensive position at the junction and faced the Gron army.
On the front is a sea of non-warrior slave legions, with a regular mobile city crossbow defense legion in the middle, three slave archer legions guarding the left, right and rear, and four nomadic archer legions on the two wings.
Yamazaki asked someone to submit a letter, requesting a trade of one billion Roman pounds of grain, at a price higher than the market price, two gold coins for ten thousand Roman pounds of grain, and two pounds of gold for one million pounds of grain, for a total of two thousand pounds of gold.
Three million Roman pounds was more than a thousand tons, and one billion Roman pounds was about half a million tons.
The commander of the other side was shocked by the quantity. This quantity had risen to the level of strategic supplies. He asked the Gelong army to stand back and wait, and he wanted to report it.
Then just wait. The two sides will set up camps and confront each other after the junction.
However, for the sake of safety, Yamazaki mobilized the Gron family's legion and asked the Leptis Port City legion to send food.
One day later, the tribes from the Port Leptis area arrived. They camped behind the Gron army, but there were soldiers and slaves in front. I don't know whether they were on guard or uneasy and well-intentioned. …
A few days later, Constantinople.
Flavius Anastasius Augustus, king of Eastern Rome, saw reports of the grain trade.
The convener held a meeting and first introduced the situation of the Kingdom of Gron. It is located on the southern coast of the Mediterranean Sea in Western Rome and has a population of less than four million. Its policy is the "Gron Declaration".
The battle was dominated by crossbow cavalry. The details are unknown, but they defeated the Vandal Kingdom and the Moorish Roman Kingdom, so their combat power should be very strong.
In addition, there are rumors that the God of War has come in person, but I don’t know whether it is true or not.
As a result of the discussion, the deal was rejected. If the other party was short of food, it would be the time to regain the southern coast of the Mediterranean, which was Rome's territory.
The "Gron Statement" is even more of a scourge. If one day Gelon calls, as long as he calls out from a high place, the majority of slaves and civilians will respond.
Slaves became civilians, and civilians were exempted from taxes. This could shake the foundation of Eastern Rome.
As for learning from Gronson, no one mentioned this kind of thing. Slaves are private property, and no common people pay taxes. Naturally, the taxes have to be paid by the rich.
As those who benefit, they will not look for trouble, and such a kingdom must be eradicated. …
December 24, at the junction of the Port Leptis area and the Cyrene area.
Yamazaki saw through the animals that troops from the Aegyptus area next door were gathering, six regular troops and twelve slave cavalry.
It seems that Eastern Rome chose to fight, probably because they were short of food.
But even if there is a shortage of food, that will happen next spring, not now.
Mei Daizi asked: "Brother, do you want to attack first?"
Yamazaki shook his head, "No, let's deal with the rest first."
Yamazaki asked someone to send a message to the tribe behind them, telling them to either go around or surrender.
The other party replied that he was leaving, but he needed time to pack his bags.
That night, Yamasaki discovered that troops from both sides were gathering, and immediately ordered the Gron army to retreat. If it turned into a close battle, they would be overwhelmed by the sea of people.
We can't use the camel as it's too slow to keep up, but it's just right to let it out to disrupt the battlefield.
Just bring weapons and a day's worth of food and water. One day is enough to hunt them down.
When the Eastern Roman army and the tribal army sneaked into the camp, the Gron army had already retreated, leaving only more than 30,000 camels running around in fright.
The other party reorganized their team, and each sent three nomadic archer regiments, one on horseback and three on horseback, to pursue them along the tracks.
The three cavalry regiments were spread out, with 500 cavalry per row, and there were thirty-six rows. The area was measured in hectares, which was too large and inconvenient.
Yamazaki asked two crossbow cavalry legions to go straight to an oasis in the distance to rest, while he led a crossbow cavalry legion, with a thousand cavalry in a row, to attack the pursuers.
Yamazaki knew the locations of the opponent's six legions very clearly. After running and hanging them and firing several rounds of crossbow arrows, they still couldn't find Yamazaki's specific location.
Finally, he left a pile of remains and turned back.
Just kidding, how can this let them run away.
Yamasaki asked people to notify the resting troops, and at the same time led the team to pursue them, looking for densely populated areas, defeating them to a pulp, and collecting the opponent's horses along the way.
The tribesmen in the Port Leptis area retreated to their camp. Yamazaki ignored them and drove the defeated Eastern Roman army to crash into their camp.
Because his horse power was exhausted, Yamazaki did not approach. The large army stopped two kilometers away, and they just asked some people to put on the opponent's horses that they had just picked up to drive them away, just to show off.
The Eastern Roman camp did not collapse. They used human walls to allow the defeated troops to gather behind them and collect the defeated troops in an orderly manner.
When the sky turned white, two crossbow cavalry legions arrived, one at the tribal camp in the Port Leptis area and one at the Eastern Roman camp.
Surrender, no other choice.
The tribes of Port Leptis surrendered with hatred.
In response, Yamazaki could only shake his head and smile bitterly.
When there is war, there is killing, and when there is killing, there is hatred. What can be done is to slowly resolve it, for ten to twenty years, or even hundreds of years, or it may continue for a long time.
The Eastern Roman army did not surrender, but instead established defensive positions relying on mobile city ballista vehicles.
Yamazaki didn't take action, just stared, waiting for reinforcements.
The 1st and 2nd Heavy Armored Corps of the Gron family, the 4th and 5th Crossbow Cavalry Corps obtained alloy crossbow troops, and an engineer corps with twelve catapults arrived in the afternoon.
At the same time, the Eastern Roman reinforcements forward, two horse archer legions, also arrived.
Yamasaki asked the Gron family's first and second heavy armored regiments to escort the tribes in the Port Leptis area back, and at the cost of one gold coin per household, they collected all slaves, weapons, and horses. This was the price of defeat. , also because those are military supplies.
The tribes in the Port Leptis area are actually inseparable from slaves. Without slaves, many of them don't know how to live, and they are used to being served.
Yamasaki wrote to Habeia Ridis and formulated a plan to help the tribesmen live.
Find someone to understand the status of water and grass, and define pasture areas. Grazing cannot be done randomly, but only in designated areas.
The pasture area is not for sale, only for rent, and is temporarily provided free of charge. The farmland manor is also available for rent, but not for free. It is calculated based on the land property.
Herdsmen’s livestock are their wealth. When trading, they buy them at market prices and respect their private property.
The herdsmen use this money to hire slaves who have become civilians to work as herders according to employment standards.
Herdsmen can also use this money to rent farmland and estates and hire people to plant them.
In this way, the common people can have wealth, and gradually accumulate it in the future, so that they can settle their family business.
Although the slaves who became civilians were unable to hold elections because of their knowledge, they could at least have private property.
Because there were more animals, there was more milk and meat, so Yamazaki recreated a three-meal meal standard.
A basic standard meal is provided at most once a day, consisting of a standard large bowl of barley rice and a standard small plate of pickles.
The low-level standard meal is to add vegetables to the basic standard meal, at least once a day, a standard medium bowl of vegetables, the variety of vegetables should be different every day, it is best to have a variety of vegetables each time, it is best to add a standard cup of milk, or A standard small dish of cheese.
The mid-level standard meal is to add meat to the low-level standard meal, at least once every three days, and it is best to replace it with fish every three times, with a standard small bowl of meat.
The advanced standard meal is to add wine and fruit to the intermediate standard meal, preferably once every six days, and the quantity is decided by yourself. …
