If you fall behind, you will be beaten.

Under the threat of several conquests by the Qin army, the Romans used their lives, coupled with heavy snow, severe cold and the help of the mountains, which finally temporarily blocked the momentum of the Qin army.

However, before the Romans could be glad, another round of attacks by the Qin army was launched again. Li Yuan, who had experienced countless fierce battles, was more than Scipio in terms of strategic vision and overall ability to control the situation. When he realized that the Romans had the intention of shrinking the defense line and defending the battle, he immediately changed the direction of his troops.

Since the Alps are difficult to cross for a while, let's put it aside first. The Romans are now in a state of great difficulty, and their weaknesses are not just in the country, China and Western Fronts.

December in the 18th year of the Great Qin calendar.

Near the Aquiku River, a tributary of the southern Danube River, an army of strangely dressed in an army was moving rapidly from south to north. They ignored the wind and snow and the severe cold weather. Their sudden appearance suddenly disrupted the battle situation in the Danube River that had been stalemate for a long time.

This Qin army advanced northward in the Alps, commanded by Li Yuan himself. Their arrival suddenly cut off the retreat of the Yunis Roman Legion, which was fighting independently on the northern line.

A great battle began in the cold winter wind.

The Eunice Legion had 30,000 Roman generals, plus 60,000 Goths, and Rome and its allies had about 100,000 troops in the northern line. On the Qin side, the 50,000 elite troops heading north and Yang Wengzi's troops in the lower Danube River, the combined total of more than 80,000 people. The two sides were evenly matched from the paper power balance.

In the city of Aquiku.

The young and energetic Younis had a blue face and was summoning 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 cold weather and crossed mountains and appeared in the middle Danube plain. Li Yuan was very accurate in choosing the timing. Now Pompei, who was struggling to support the middle front, was suppressed and unable to move. Scipio, the Roman leader, was also tied to his body due to the navy's defeat and domestic reforms, which made Unis the weakest link in Rome.

In fact, the Romans were already very careful and alert to the information on the movements of the Qin army. However, to Yunis' surprise, the vanguard of this northward assault was not the Qin general Luo Jia and Cao Xin, who were afraid of by the Romans, but the Thracian slave Spartacus. Li Yuan actually had great courage to trust a general of a strange alien race, which made Yunis feel particularly confused and puzzled.

"The Qin people are so relieved that a foreign general holds military power. Aren't they afraid that Spartacus will rebel? You must know that whites and yellow people are born with different races. No matter how this difference is bridged, it is impossible to fundamentally change?"

Now, Yunis's 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 have a decisive battle with the Qin army.

With no idea, Unis's personality of fighting for strength and prosperity could no longer be suppressed. So what if he was surrounded? Although the Qin people had 80,000 troops on paper, there were only 30,000 or 40,000 people who really belonged to the elite headquarters of the Qin army. Since the strength of both sides was similar, we would really go to a real sword and a gun to see the best.

The decisive battle requires subordinates, soldiers and morale.

In this regard, Yunis was confident, and opposite him was standing Monger, the great chief of the Goths, the most powerful tribe in the Danube Valley.

"Chief, you and your tribes are the most powerful force on this plain. Just like the eagles in the sky, as long as the Goths want, all prey in this area will be your food. Therefore, for our common interests, we must join hands without reservation and completely expel the Qin people from here-!"

Monger was the leader of the Goths. He was fifty years old, with a swollen face and a little unnaturally bent, just like an old man about to fall into the soil. However, his eyes were still sharp, especially after hearing the instigation of Younis, the Gothic Chief squinted his eyes and glanced at a hollow place in the hall as if he hadn't heard it.

"Great Chief, the Goths need a rich pasture and more slaves. I, the Great Rome, can provide you with these. How about Gaul? It's vast and sparsely populated, and a good place--!"

Yunis's speech speed was getting faster and faster. Monger was sly and obviously he didn't see a rabbit or a hawk. In order to win over Goth, his most powerful ally, Yunis decided to throw out the biggest bargaining chip in his hand.

The Gaul Province is the largest province besides Rome, except Iberia. Due to its close proximity to the Apennine Peninsula, the connection between the Gauls and the Romans was quite close. In the Roman army in the past, the Gaul Legion had always been the role of charging. This joint situation began to collapse after the Qin army arrived in Europe. Especially the rebellion of Peterus, a former important Roman general, greatly weakened the Roman control of Gaul.

"General, is this what you mean, or what the great consul?" Menger finally spoke after a while of silence.

"Of course it is the meaning of the Great Consul. As long as the Goths and I, the Great Romans, work together to fight against the Qin people, then the next benefit will be not only in Gaul. We can even seize the Balkans, Greece, Anatolia, Egypt from the Qin people. Don't the Great Chief want the warriors of the tribe to ride horses and whip them and hire them on the land in the East?"

Yunis was very eloquent, and his motivation was like drawing a delicious and attractive pancake, which made Monger suddenly excited.

If the Gaul Peninsula was occupied by the Goths, the survival of their tribe would be greatly improved. At least they would not have to suffer multiple attacks from the Germans, Slavs and Qin people like they are now. If they could defeat the invading Qin army with the Roman army, the benefits that could be divided would be even greater.

"General, you have to keep your word. If you don't say anything else, I, the Goth Warrior, will never fall behind against the lowly person who deals with Thrace." The light flashed in Monger's eyes.

In the face of huge interests, he had no choice. The strength and decline of the Goths took this opportunity. Facing a Qin army composed of miscellaneous cards, Menger's old and weak body suddenly became relaxed, and his facial expression began to become full of confidence.
