Chapter 253: Negotiation (II)
The Vandals were silent, and it seemed that they had acquiesced to the negotiations.
"Is this a softness? Proud Romans! ”
There was a gap in the ranks of the Vandals, and two tall horses pulled a chariot with ordinary decorations and no fancy to speak of, and the crude pronunciation was not standard Latin, this man was of great stature and well-armored. Gradually, Luga saw the man's face clearly.
With brown hair and a beard that wraps around his chin, I really don't know if he will eat a piece of his dirty beard when he eats. Shining in the dense jungle was a pair of blue eyes, staring at the Romans in front of him, covered in blood and too tired to even hold a sword. There was awe in his eyes but there was no look of disdain, I am afraid that it was the fear engraved in his bones, so that although he hated the Romans to the core, he had to always remind himself that for the powerful Romans, he must always maintain awe, otherwise the slightest carelessness will be a disaster.
"Who are you?"
Lu Jia didn't know this person, but he knew that being able to have his own car on the battlefield must be a big person.
"The Ninth Legion? Luga? The barbarian repeated what Lugar had just reported to his home, and his tone was incredulous, "I have not heard of this army. ”
"Of course, I haven't heard of you, Your Excellency, and you haven't told me your name yet!" Lugar did not show any fear, and he puffed out his chest, and showed that he did not back down in the slightest, so that the Vandal officer could see it. Even if you are at a disadvantage, you must have momentum and not let the enemy see your bottom line.
"Well, well, Romans, my name is Gaisarik, your Terminator!" The man said, raising his chin slightly, and using pride was the best response to Luga, "Say, what do you want to talk about?" Surrender, kneel, humbly beg me for mercy, beg for mercy, and I will spare you from death! ”
"I'm sorry, this one, well, your Excellency!" Luga threw away the iron sword in his hand, which was already useless, and then waved his hand at him, and said, "I don't plan to talk to you about whether to surrender or not, because I don't think I have lost yet!" ”
"What kind of tricks is this Roman playing?" Gaisaric was secretly foiling, looking at the young man in front of him, only to see the corners of Luga's mouth slightly raised, and he was not afraid of facing the fierce Vandal soldiers. It made Gaisaric even more suspicious, could it be that he was preparing to leave early, and he could still be calm and calm in such a declining situation, could it be that this is a trap?
A barbarian, who learned to think in the midst of a protracted war with the Romans, is in itself a very rare thing, and for the Romans, it is also a very dangerous thing, at least in terms of intelligence, civilized people have been unable to inflict absolute crushing on the barbarians. After hundreds of years of struggle, this method of dividing the barbarians, who often use wild tricks, no longer works, in fact, Lu Jia has no bottom in his heart, he doesn't even know what to do for the next plan, and his mind is blank.
"Oh, what's that talking about? Discuss how I killed you? ”
Gaisaric widened his eyes like a hungry wolf glaring at his prey, and all of his men held up their blood-stained weapons, the fifteen hundred exhausted Roman soldiers, like fifteen hundred lambs to the slaughter.
"I mean, we don't have to fight to the death so hard, we can talk, at least solve this problem peacefully, that is, you take a step back, I take a step back, each of us, for each of us to have a way to live!"
"Survival? Do you mean mine, or yours? Gaisaric glanced at the warships huddled behind Luga, the oars of those warships were intertwined with everything, as long as the slightest deviation would be dozens of oars were twisted, so except for the wind, there was really nothing that could make these warships move, but the weather was not beautiful, it was a cloudless sunny day, except for being able to feel the sea breeze slightly, there was really no strength to drive these warships.
"Hmph, hmph......"
Gaisaric smiled, and asked himself the supreme commander of the world's largest navy, Gaisaric naturally said that it was difficult to separate the chaotic warships behind this not too big beach, so the reinforcements behind him would not be able to help at all.
"You're fooling me, Roman! You don't have to wait for your allies to stay alive for a while, you're dying! With a sinister smile, Gaisaric picked up the spear placed on the chariot, took two steps forward, pointed it at Luga, and said: "More than thirty years ago, before I was born, our traitors helped you to wash us in blood, and to make us like homeless wild dogs in your land, and it is time, it is time to pay for these blood debts!" It's just that I originally wanted to sacrifice with the blood of the Romans of Syracuse, but I have a more suitable candidate, and that is you, the commander of the Ninth Legion, Luga! As soon as he finished speaking, his soldiers roared at Luga, waving their long knives and axes in their hands, as if they were going to kill Luga and decapitate him in the next second.
"Holy!" Luga's heart tightened, it seemed that the short time he had won could not change anything after all! He slowly retreated, approaching his own formation. "Hermanus, you're too indecisive!" Lu Jia thought to himself, closed his eyes, it seems that today is a catastrophe, and he can't escape!
"The killing shouts have stopped!" Hermanus's heart trembled, he didn't know what it meant, he looked down and said to himself, "Could it be that they have been defeated?" No way, there are more than 2,000 people! ”
The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became, and he couldn't help pacing on the deck, his mouth kept silently saying, "Impossible, this can't be!" What the hell is Luga messing with, he can't be defeated so quickly. ”
"Hey!"
Hermanus could not hold back any longer, and he shouted at the sailors behind him: "Blow the horn of attack!" Command Flagship Impact! ”
"But there's a friendly army ahead!" The sailors who gave the order hesitated, and if Hermanus's order was agreed, then the huge flagship would charge, and there would be many innocent sailors killed and wounded!
"This is an order, not a request!" Hermanus' tone was unmistakable, and he turned his head to glare at the herald, forcing him to bow his head and enter the constellation below.
"Order the warships of the third array, don't care about the obstacles in front of them, rush over, rush over!" Hermanus screamed like madness, he was so frightened that he lost his mind.
"Father!" Beria stayed behind Hermanus, and he could clearly feel the speed of the ship under his feet, and then looked at the ship that was getting closer and closer. He felt a trace of fear, for some reason, he even had the urge to jump off the flagship and swim away, he didn't know what would happen in the next moment, he just felt that his father was going crazy, unscrupulous!
