Naples was well defended and historically helped the Roman Empire resist the powerful Hannibal attack and eventually hold out and win.

The attack on Napoli was a very bold and challenging move.

The Romans did not think that hundreds of rebels such as Xu Ding would dare to hit a stone with an egg.

Even the rebels were greatly surprised, and they were a little worried about Xu Ding's crazy move.

But only Soros was in high spirits and in high spirits.

If he takes Naples, he will be able to capture ships, and he will be able to form a naval army.

There is no need to think about it, as long as he has money, he is not afraid that he will not be able to recruit adventurers in Naples.

So he tried his best to portray the goodness of Napoli and actively contribute his wisdom to the table.

This is also the reason why Xu Ding promoted such a pirate-turned-leader to be a centurion.

"Commander, we can't storm this city, we have to sneak in first, grasp the specific situation in the city, and take the city gate inside and outside." Soros added a lip and said:

"At that time, I will be able to raise a group of men, and once we do it, they will seize the ships and control the coast, so that the Roman defenders in the city will not be able to escape at all, and the whole of Naples will be ours."

Xu Ding bowed slightly, thought for a while, and said, "Okay!" Wait a minute, I'll go in with you to spy on the situation in the city, and I'll leave it to Meng Yu, Goubi, and Meng Do, and you'll be in charge of taking people to monitor the surrounding movements, especially the main road, and as soon as you find the traces of the Roman army, you will immediately join up with most of them and hide. ”

Four: "It's the commander!" ”

Soros was a little panicked and said, "Commander, you don't have to go in, it's too dangerous, and it's not good if the Romans in the city recognize you." ”

Xu Ding patted Soros on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I understand disguise, ordinary people can't recognize me, needless to say, we'll go into the city later." ”

Xu Ding's slap used a lot of force, and Soros only felt that his whole body was going to collapse.

It hurt so much that he could only grit his teeth and laugh, not daring to make a sound.

Alexander Qin, this pervert, to throw a hippopotamus, the power is really too great to be matched.

He could now feel the pain of the patriarchs at that time.

A little disguise, it means a little to Xu Ding.

You must know that in the Han Dynasty, it is normal for a husband to draw eyebrows and eyes for his wife, and to comb his long hair with red lips.

As a later generation, Xu Ding is even more well-informed and skillful, and it is not difficult to carry out a simple cross-dressing with some Western cosmetics that have been seized earlier.

Although the Romans did not believe that Xu Ding and other rebels dared to attack Naples, the defenders still routinely set up checkpoints at the city gate to strictly investigate and interrogate.

Soon it was the turn of Xu Ding and the others' team, and the defenders intercepted and asked, "Where did you come from?" What's the matter with entering the city? Show me the pass! ”

The merchant played by Soros replied with a shy smile: "Lord Hui, we are from the north, and some slaves were originally going to be sent to the Roman Imperial City.

But the people there said that my slaves were not good, so I wanted to try my luck with not sending them to Naples. ”

The soldier who interrogated nodded slightly, and there were indeed more than twenty slaves behind Soros.

Of course, this is a real gladiator slave, genuine, and he can't believe it.

However, after looking at it, he glanced at Xu Ding, who accompanied his entourage, which made Soros nervous.

Finally, the man said to Soros: "No, you are too few people, you will lose no underwear this time." ”

More than 20 slaves were sent by land from the north, and they couldn't even get their food money back.

Soros said with a bitter face: "Who said no, I originally had three or four hundred slaves, but I blamed these guys, walking on the road, suddenly killed a rebel army from behind, this rebel army said to liberate our Rome, to give freedom to all slaves, and then robbed me."

The slaves took the opportunity to escape, and I waited for the rebel army to flee to the northeast before I went to capture the twenty or so slaves who had not yet escaped.

Hey, who did I ask to reason, but I was unlucky to get home. ”

"Hahaha, you actually ran into that rebel army, tsk, it's good that you have a life to live to our Naples, you won't even lose the pass card like this." When the defenders heard this, they all laughed, and they also relaxed their god-level.

It said that he was not afraid of 10,000, but he was afraid of what happened, in order to avoid the rebels from coming over, he still had to check the posts and check the people who entered the city.

Now it seems that the rebels were cunning and crossed the mountains to the northeast, no wonder there was no news all of a sudden.

Since they won't come here, the defenders naturally don't have to worry about war, and they don't have to work so hard, of course they all laughed.

"You're right, that's it, but luckily I didn't lose it." Soros smugly patted the money bag, and the sound was crisp.

Then he took out two gold coins and handed them to the other party's hand and said: "I am relieved to come to Naples, this time I want to have a good drink, and I am going to the gambling house to have a handful, this person's life is gone, what is the use of keeping the money, I can see through." ”

"You're right, your life is gone, what's the use of keeping money, good luck, I hope you can win all our money from Naples when you go out of the city." Withdrawing his hand, the intercepted soldier let him go with a smile.

Money can make ghosts grind, both East and West are right.

Everyone entered the city smoothly, and Soros took Xu Ding and others to arrange to stay, and then contacted his old acquaintances.

As a former Mediterranean pirate, he attaches the most importance to intelligence, and there are many familiar people in the city.

Soros left with a few people to find his target, while Xu Ding took others to inquire about the situation in the city, and by the way, observed the structure and geography of the entire city.

After dark, Soros returned to join Xu Ding.

He still said confidently: "Commander, the matter is done, I have contacted all the people I can contact, as long as we do it tomorrow, they will take advantage of the chaos to rob the rich people in the city and buy us time, this is the map of the Roman army that I got from them." ”

Xu Ding took the map that was simply drawn, and the information on it was more detailed and specific than he had inquired.

However, he did not speak for a long time, and Soros said: "In order to prevent them from cheating, the commander will give me a few men tomorrow, and I will keep an eye on the docks, in case our attack on the city fails, at least there must be a ship that can safely send us out of Naples."

If it succeeds, we need more ships, which can be used to go east along the coast, bypassing the strait with Sicily, and turning to the east coast.

You know, those people are very greedy, and if no one regulates them, they will plunder all the ships. ”

"Okay! Just do what you say, I believe you, you are good at water warfare, you have an advantage in controlling ships, and you know how to communicate with them. Xu Ding nodded and instructed:

"But I want you to remember that you are now a centurion, a thousand-captain in the future, a captain, a legion, you have to have confidence in our cause, being a pirate is promising, I think you have experienced this painful experience, think about how to expand our navy after this battle, I really hope that you can build an invincible, invincible, invincible Roman navy full of teeth."

Soros was slightly stunned, and then replied: "Don't worry, commander, we will kill all the way from the Colosseum, and then from Rome, I don't follow you where can I go, you are an invincible commander, naturally you want to lead us to glory." ”

"Hmmm! If you understand, just rest well! Xu Ding responded, this time gently patting Soros on the shoulder and leaving.

Soros stared at Xu Ding's departing back for a long time, revealing complicated eyes.

In the end, Soros looked up at the unclear starry sky in the sky, and said in a voice that only he could hear clearly: "The Roman Empire is like the sun, we are not even stars, dim, do we really have a chance to become an existence like the moon?" Perhaps, we're too small......! ”

The next day, Xu Dingxian sent people out of the city to continuously Meng Yu and other armies.

The sophisticated weapons quietly sent by the people contacted by Soros on this side, because of the city, they did not dare to bring the Roman weapons they captured into the city, because it would be easy to expose.

So you need to arm yourself with Soros after entering the city.

Fortunately, there are only about twenty people, and these equipment can still be obtained after some money.

The weapons were distributed, and everyone waited for the brewing of time, estimating that Meng Yu, Carbie and others outside the city should lead the army to lurk outside the city.

Xu Ding took more than a dozen people to the West City Gate in disguise.

After Xu Ding and the others left, Soros also took two henchmen out of the place where he lived, and at this time, another group of pirates' men were watching early.

After seeing Soros, he smiled and said, "Can these guys succeed in Soros?" Don't fool your brothers, or you'll die a terrible death. ”

Soros sneered and said: "If he can't do anything, no one in this world can, but we followed him all the way out of Rome, he can punch through the wall and lift the hippopotamus with one hand, can you?" ”

Are you describing people?

"Okay, let's prepare too, once the army in the city goes to support Simon, they take advantage of the situation to set fire to and loot those rich merchants, as well as the government's treasury, we will empty there!"

"Of course, if we don't evacuate, are we still called pirates?"

"Hey, hey, hey, ......!"

…………

"Commander! Will Soros take the opportunity to flee alone and turn his back on us. A person who couldn't see through the island of Soros finally couldn't help but ask what everyone wanted to say.

Xu Dingdao: "It doesn't matter whether it will or not, the important thing is that we can take Napoli and we can find more like-minded people." ”

"But Commander, what if the pirates loot all the rich people in the city and take all the money away?" Since some people questioned the loyalty of Soros and the pirates behind him, of course, there was nothing to worry about, so some people asked more openly.

Xu Ding still smiled: "It's okay, we are a rebel army, we don't need money now, more important than money is those sophisticated equipment, as well as food that can survive, and more companions, with these, we can create as much wealth as possible." ”

Now it is the stage of escape, which is mainly to break through the blockade of the Romans on the peninsula, and money can only be a burden to Xu Ding.

Xu Ding didn't plan to fight the pirates for such a dead thing.

So I don't care at all.

Grain is the king of grass, money or something, you can earn it at any time.

Soon Xu Ding led everyone to the West City Gate, and then found the ground and lurked.

The defenders of the city exchanged the scriptures for another group of people, this one who was more conscientious than yesterday's, and there was a long queue of ordinary people outside the city.

Yesterday, the soldiers defending the city still reported Soros's nonsense.

However, the government officials guarding the city did not let their guard down, but instead tightened their vigilance, as more and more ordinary people who had taken refuge in the vicinity asked to enter the city.

These ordinary people who don't know the situation just feel that it is not safe outside recently and that there will be a war, so they want to take refuge in the city.

However, their crowding has provided convenience for Meng Yu, Shop Bi and others.

The four decided to send a crack squad and then approached the city gates disguised as civilians.

"You guys! Say you guys, stop for a moment, why don't you look at ......"

A soldier naturally had a bad premonition when he saw the rebel soldiers approaching, what does it mean that a bunch of strong men are coming together, not even a child, a woman, or an old man.

The natural defenders are not fools either.

"Die, Roman Miscellaneous Hair!"

Suddenly, one of the rebels pulled out a sharp blade and knocked down the Roman soldier, then stabbed him repeatedly.

The others also attacked the Roman soldiers at the gates.

"Kill! Rush in ......! ”

"Kill! Rush in ......! ”

"Run! Fought a war......"

A group of ordinary civilians hurriedly scattered and fled for safety, and the Roman army inside the city noticed a large number of unknown forces rushing outside the city, and immediately realized that it was not good to close the city gates.

However, the rebels outside the city slaughtered and seized control of the gates under the cave.

It was not so easy for the Romans to close it, so they could only keep running out and rushing to the city to kill.

More and more Roman troops went down to the city to fight desperately with the rebels under the caves, and the archers also pulled out, and some of them shot at the rebels who rushed outside the city.

A small number of rebels engaged the Romans under the caves on this side of the inner wall.

"Let's go, go up to the wall!" Xu Ding led the people to touch the female wall while they were in chaos, then lifted the covering sackcloth on their backs, took off their bows and put on arrows, and then shot an arrow at a Roman archer leaning against the inner wall.

Suddenly, one of the Roman archers fell with an arrow.

The archers in the city were amazed at where the arrow came from.

But soon they found Xu Ding, because Xu Ding's Lianzhu arrow was powerful again.

Several arrows flew one after the other.

Several more fell, and the gladiators who had followed Xu Ding into the city also rushed out of the female wall to the top of the city, and then swung their swords at the weakly defended Roman archers.

In three or two clicks, these dozen or so people solved the Roman archers in the city, and Xu Dingren went to the half of the female wall to see that the overall situation was stable, and turned around and shot an arrow at the Roman foot soldiers under the city.

Then he leaped and drew his sword and slashed.

"Ahh

There was a scream, and a bloody streak was cut out of the head of a Roman soldier who had turned around.

Then Xu Ding slashed left and right, kicking out with both feet without entering or exiting.

The Roman soldiers under the cave were either dead or wounded, and fell one by one.

The rebels who rushed forward took the opportunity to rush in and join him, and the Roman foot soldiers retreated one after another.

As more and more rebels entered, the West Gate was soon captured.

The defeated Roman soldiers hurriedly fled into the city.

"Meng Yu will lead a team of people to take over the West City Gate, and the others will follow me to the city to kill!" After seizing the city gate, Xu Ding led people to chase after the government building.

Soon they encountered the Roman army in the city on the way, and Xu Ding broke out a battle with them in the street, and finally eliminated them with a great victory.

Soon Xu Ding attacked the government and took over the building.

"Veratuli, you go to the arsenal, give me the weapons inside, and if someone attacks you, no matter who he is, resolutely kill him!"

"Compare you to control the grain depot, all the government's grain must be preserved, and there is no room for loss, and at the same time send people to occupy the major grain stores, and all the shops that sell grain are sealed for me, and from now on these are all ours."

"Meng Du go to the docks, get as many boats as you can for me, and at the same time control the code, no one can enter or leave the port without my orders, and whoever dares to commit a crime will kill them all with the sword in your hand."

After capturing the government building, Xu Ding continuously issued the command, and everyone replied violently, and then each went to complete his goal.

"The others will follow me to the gladiatorial arena and the dungeons, I will release the gladiators who have taken over these gladiators and those who have been wronged and humiliated, I will give Naples a place of peace and prosperity, and I will give Naples a democracy and freedom." As for the robbing pirates and ruffians in the city, for the time being, Xu Xu did not pay much attention to it.

Soon Xu Ding arrived at the gladiatorial arena first, and the slave gladiators here were thrilled when they heard that someone had captured the city of Naples.

"I won't say much nonsense, we are rebels who fight for freedom and for the liberation of all oppressed people, and if they are willing to follow us, they will stand on the left, and if they are not willing, they will stand on the right." Xu Ding didn't talk nonsense, and said directly to the gladiators who were released.

The gladiators looked at each other and began to talk.

However, soon, at the urging of Xu Ding's subordinates, he immediately stood on both sides.

Xu Dingyi waved his hand and said: "Those standing on the left distribute weapons, food and clothing, and those on the right rush back to the cage, they don't need anything." ”

After saying that, Xu Ding left, and the group of people on the right suddenly became anxious, and hurriedly said: "Commander, I am willing to join you, I am willing, please don't lock me back up......"

The others did the same, shouting desperately.

They don't want to go back to being slaves and live inhumane treatment.

However, there is no regret medicine in this world, and Xu Ding and the others will not sympathize with them.

Now that you've made your choice, let's move on with your numb life.

Only warriors who dare to break through everything can get food and freedom.

Not all slaves have the courage to make changes, so Xu Ding doesn't force it, and naturally he won't help them.

If he is a compatriot of the Great Han, he will have patience to guide and cultivate.

But this is Rome, and the population of Rome is too complex, and the slaves are so diverse.

Xu Dingke didn't have time to slowly transform them.

After Soros and the other pirates saw Xu Ding and others snatching the West City Gate and were about to capture it, they finally were not lonely and sent people to attack the rich households in the city, and then ransacked them.

Soros himself snatched a ship at the docks, and the other pirate leaders also took down the other ships at the docks with their henchmen.

They had just eaten the ships and the Roman squad at the docks had broken out in a battle, waiting for the city's men to come with a large amount of gold, silver and jewels.

"Soros, you're right, these people have really succeeded, such a strong city of Naples has been captured, it's a group of crazy people, it's a pity that Naples is a honeycomb, and the Romans will tear them apart if they hit here."

Soros did not speak, but struggled inwardly.

The city of Naples has been defeated, and the rebel army will usher in a great development, the ranks will expand, and the strength will increase.

Alexander Chin did what he promised.

Next, can he continue to win, can he escape from the encirclement of the Roman army if he goes east, and can he cross the sea to Macedonia to create a world that belongs to the rebel army.

Everything is still unknown, but there is a lot of hope.

As a pirate leader, he was supposed to be dashing, originally free and unrestricted.

But now there are a few more fetters.

"Do you want to join us, your men have already been scattered and captured by the Romans, follow us and I will divide your ships, and we can roam the Mediterranean again!"

Soros looked at one of the pirate leaders who said this, and was about to speak, when an army appeared at the docks and quickly took control of the entry and exit of the docks.

And the leader is Meng Du, who is the same centurion as Soros.

This centurion, who had a very opposite direction to him, took control of the docks and brought down a dozen men to take over the ship.

The pirates were naturally unwilling, so Soros walked over and said, "Why are you here?" What about the commander-in-chief? ”

Meng Du said: "The commander said that you are weak and afraid of accidents, so I asked me to bring a team of people over, now I am going to take over the ships on this dock, you should control some ships, send some people to follow, the ships here are all our rebels." ”

"Bullshit, these ships are ours, we shot them down, you don't want to take them." The pirates were naturally unwilling, for them, the ship was life, it was their most important weapon, and no one was willing to give up the ship, so they all took up their weapons and shouted. ”

Meng Du waved his hand, and immediately rushed up ten archers, aimed at the pirates, and then Meng Du said: "If you want to fight, then come!" ”

The pirates looked at Soros, which was not the same as they had been discussed.

Soros took a deep breath and finally made his own decision, and said to everyone: "We want half of the ship, you don't need to fight you to the death for these things, the Romans are our real enemies, you ask for money, we want to live."

If we don't have a boat, we'll lock off the docks, and we won't be able to take a word of the money you robbed. ”

After speaking, Soros said to Meng Du: "Just go ashore and guard the way out of the dock." ”

"Good!" Meng Du grinned, and then led the people back to the shore, staking the road to the dock.

All the money that the pirates plundered in the city had to pass through here, otherwise it would not be able to be transported.

"Damn! I knew I couldn't trust this guy Soros, he was a traitor to our pirates! ”

"Shit, what now, if you don't give it to the boat, we won't be able to take the money we robbed."

A shrewd pirate leader said: "Wait a minute, the ship is in our hands, that Alexander Qin will come to us if he wants to leave Naples alive, and then we will pay ten times the price for him, and as for Soros, he will regret it." ”

The pirates who heard the news drove the ships of the dock away from the dock one after another, and a few arrows away from the dock, stopped in the waters where Xu Ding and others could not sneak attack and seize the ship.

Lock me up all the government personnel, and at the same time release the people in the cell who are guilty of minor crimes, and there are those who are willing to join
