Battle of Teutenberg: More than 20,000 heads hang from the treetops, strewn with stripped corpses

War is something that each of us does not like and does not want to see. From ancient times to the present, any war that kills countless soldiers and innocent people, and countless relatives and families lost because of war. For each of our Chinese, it is now in an era of peace, but in fact, it is because the country is strong that it has the ability to protect us, so we must also do our best to contribute to the motherland.

The most memorable thing for us is the War of Resistance Against Japan, but at that time, in addition to China's resistance to foreign enemies, many other countries were also fighting wars, and the war was also very fierce. The impact and damage of the war is very large, first of all, from the economic consumption of various material capabilities, according to the data, during the Second World War almost spent nearly 4,000 billion US dollars.

The political side will also be affected a lot, and each country is considering the gains and losses of interests, and in the long run, the national strength will decline rapidly. Including environmental factors, for our older generation of martyrs and soldiers in China, we know that the Japanese often drop poison gas bombs, which not only harm the human body, but also have a certain impact on the environment.

In the previous century there was a very famous war, which was also very bloody and attracted the attention of many people around the world. The time and place of the war was in ancient Rome, because of this war, the powerful Rome stopped the outward expansion of the land, laying the foundation for the future Western territory.

The battle was called the Battle of the Teutonic Forest, and was caused by the constant contradiction between the Germans and Romans. Caesar finally provoked the attack after finding an opportunity, and at the same time, it was also a very painful time for him to be beaten.

Teutoburg is now roughly on the border of lower Saxony and North Rhine-Westphalia in Germany, and is a relatively spacious mountain range. It was also covered with many tall trees, so this kind of war was also called the Battle of the Teutonic Fort Forest.

Ancient Rome was very concerned about this war, so it sent Valus to lead troops to the Teutoburg Forest, and the number of these troops was equivalent to 1/10 of the total strength of the Roman Empire. Even in order to let the soldiers fight with peace of mind, they brought their families and cooks, doctors and slaves, etc., just so that they could take the territory beautifully.

However, this is not the case, although the terrain of the Teutonic Forest is not particularly difficult, but the road is very rough, completely shrouded in the forest, if you are not careful, you will get lost. Therefore, in the face of such terrain, the combat ability of the Roman army has declined, and even discouraged some soldiers.

The reason for their failure was not only this, the army was very large at that time, in addition to the huge number of soldiers, there were some weak family members and others. This made the entire march so slow that in the face of frontal attacks and harassment by the enemy, it appeared to be more than sufficient and insufficient, and many opportunities for combat were missed.

And it wasn't long before it suddenly rained heavily in the sky, which was very normal for the geography and climate at the time, but they obviously didn't take this into account. The storm made the entire Roman army become very irregular, and many people scattered in this rainstorm, causing the morale of the army to decline rapidly.

It was precisely because of this that the enemy people had the opportunity to take advantage of it, and they rushed out when the Roman army collapsed, encircling most of the army. The whole war was tantamount to a bad hand, and from the very beginning it disrupted the rhythm, making this one of their worst failures.

Not only did they resist later, but this time they suffered very heavy losses, so the Germans repelled the Roman army almost one after another and won a great victory. The people of that period were still very cruel relative to today's civilized society. So the Germans did not treat the captives well after their victory, but they did something very cruel and shocking to the world.

They cut off the heads of the living and the dead and hung them on the treetops, and the slaughter went on for a long time. According to other people's descriptions and records, the number of people who were decapitated exceeded 20,000, and there were stripped corpses everywhere

In the beginning, the Germans were actually in a state of roman invasion, but after this battle, the Germans completely broke away from Roman rule and had their own rights. And it also made Rome suffer a very heavy loss, and the rulers of Rome, after knowing the defeat, became very heavy in their hearts and lost trust in Wallus.
