v3 Chapter 104: New Germanic (1/2)
一 大 Early the next morning, Zhang Heng saw the Germans sitting in the prison car.
At this time, the Germans were not as prosperous as their descendants, and they were all over Europe. At this time, the Germans were still barbarians in the eyes of the Romans. They were a collective name for the barbarians on the right bank of the Rhine, but between them and the Romans, The war has a long history. The first conflict between the two parties dates back to 113 BC.
Two Germanic tribes touched the Danube River to sneak attack on Roman towns. They planned to get a ticket and left. As a result, the Roman legionary stationed there could not find the north. The individual combat effectiveness was undoubtedly the advantage of the burly Germanic people. However, the Romans were more disciplined and better equipped, and Roman classical linear tactics were very slippery. Many tactical ideas were even absorbed by modern linear tactics.
Therefore, the Germans who admired personal bravery suffered a lot, but the Germans ’southward heart has not died, and there have been border conflicts and frictions for a long time afterwards, especially in the first century when Wei Qing and Huo Qu were sick and brought the Huns to the west Hurrying, as a result, Europe suffered.
The Germans became sandwich biscuits in the middle, which only accelerated the pace of going south. Ole had been dealing with the German invasion while he was still alive. The two sides fought a lot of tug-of-war, and after hundreds of years of fighting and learning, Those barbarians have also made great progress. At the same time, they have accumulated a lot of experience in dealing with the Roman Legion. The production technology has also improved, and it has become increasingly difficult to deal with it.
However, Zhang Heng knew that the war between the two parties was about to end soon. He already knew from Varo that the current time is 180 AD. The former emperor Oleliu had just died of illness on the front line, and his son Kang Maode succeeded.
Cameron had no interest in the war with the Germans. It would not be long before he entered into an armistice agreement with the Germanic leader, in exchange for providing an annual subsidy to the Germanic tribe in exchange for an armistice between the two parties.
Considering the distance between the front line and the capital, maybe the two parties have now signed a treaty, but the news has not yet returned, so the current Germanic group is likely to be the last prisoner of war.
It can be seen that their path is not very comfortable. As the northern invaders, their image in the hearts of the Romans can be imagined. There are even people who have thrown stones at them along the way, but these Germans were not afraid, but instead Loked back and laughed.
One of the most burly men turned his head to disdain his companions, ”A bunch of girls.”
In short, they came to the Gladiator School in such a hostile atmosphere.
The **** slaves and the school's person in charge counted their heads and began to discuss the final price. They quickly negotiated the prices of others and sold at 3,000 Setes per person, but in the last person, That is, the most burly guy seems to have a lot of differences.
The school's head hoped to buy it for 5,000 Seths, but slave traders insisted on 10,000 Seths.
Because he was far away, and the speaking speed of both sides was fast, Zhang Heng couldn't hear clearly, so he asked Varo aside, ”What are they talking about?”
”Uh, the slave trader said that the man was very brave and caused a lot of trouble to our army. There were many people who died in his hands, and he was very strong. As long as he casually trained and trained, he would become a teenage killer. Rome's noble ladies will be fascinated by him, he can make the owners here earn a lot of money. ”Varo explained.
At the same time, he began to worry about his future. ”These Germans are prisoners of war and look very powerful. The average gladiator is also two thousand Seths. Although I sold myself two thousand five hundred, But that's because I have the ability to operate. Each of them sells three thousand, and the guy who asks for ten thousand, we will not be their opponents. ”
