Roman-Rexxarite War

The Roman-Rexxaraeite War was a conflict involving the conquest of modern-day Rexxarae by Roman consul Gaius Julius Caeser. The warring involved massive troop mobilization, particularly at the side of the Romans.

Invasion

Caeser marched four legions into Rexxaraeite territory in late winter 54 B.C. He encountered nearly no resistance what so ever. He easily took the city of Benaun and a small fort maintained by it's ruler. Benaun was a prominent power in southern Rexxarae, and it's fall to the foreigners was unpreceeded and shocking. The king of a nearby city, in great defiance of a treaty he signed with Rome, gathered an army of several thousand troops and engaged Caeser. His forces could not penetrate the legionary formation and were masscred.

The Rexxaraeite Alliance

Shocked by the ease at which the Romans conquered their cities, the Rexxaraeite kings called an assembly. King Sra Jo of Yapan stepped-up to lead the coalition. He believed the Rexxaraeites must fall back, teasing and picking at the Roman army, until the time for a concentrated strike came. Many rulers disagreed, forcing him to change his war-plan in-order to preserve the coalition. Sra Jo sent whatever forces he had in his immidiet environment to reinforce various cities and forts near the Roman conquest zone.

The wheather conditions made it extremely difficult for the Rexxaraeite kings to accumulate large fighting forces. However, the noteable military leader Kara managed to raise a large force counting 20,000 infanry and cavalry, and made his way south. Caeser advanced at 2 more cities, and succeeded in conquering them. Kara's men camped by a large fortress in the south-west. The Romans sent two legions to attack the fort, but Kara outmanouvered them and annhilated them. He proceeded to try and liberate one of the captured cities, but failed, losing most of his army. Another large part of it died-out during the cold journey back north.

Renewel of Roman Advancement

As spring came, Caeser drove his force deep into the Rexxaraeite north-west. He isolated several well-defended cities, keeping small forces around them as-to prevent escape, while letting them wayne and starve. His strategy worked, allowing him to march on many city-states unchallenged.

Caeser besieged 'Aymes', Kara's own city-state. Kara fought bravely, but was forced to abandon with the remainder of his troops by order of Sra Jo in mid-battle. The Romans entered the city, looting, raping, and enslaving.
