Forced by the opponent's obscenity, the gladiators retreated one after another.

However, this Roman army had no intention of stopping, mainly in small groups, and continued to advance, knocking down everything that stood in its way.

The gladiators who were shot by arrows on the ground, they had no mercy, and their spears or swords pierced and slew all the wailers.

"Get out of the way! Let me! Xu Ding and others caught up and found that the front was blocked, so they immediately took an arrow and a bow, and shot an arrow, and the gladiators in front gave way to the main street, and Xu Ding, Meng Yu, Carroti and others rushed over.

Before the man arrives, the arrow arrives first!

The Roman hundreds, who were advancing forward, were caught off guard, and a sharp arrow was stuck in the neck of a soldier.

He looked at the feather feather at the tail of the arrow in disbelief, and then fell softly.

"Defense!" The leader of the hundred-person squad saw Xu Ding and the others rushing towards him on a war horse and pulling out a big bow in his hand, and hurriedly commanded.

However, before his soldiers could prepare in a hurry, another arrow flew in and knocked another soldier down.

However, the Roman soldiers who reacted back immediately made up for the front, but as soon as they made up for it, another arrow flew in.

There was another scream, and one soldier fell.

"Fight! Shoot! ”

Originally, if it was a field battle, the young soldiers at the forefront would be equipped with two javelins, one light javelin and one heavy javelin.

The light ones are used to throw, and the heavy ones are used to pierce the enemy's formation.

At this point they had only heavy javelins, and not all of them in the first column would use heavy javelins, each with an oval shield and a broad-edged short sword.

The young soldiers in the second column were armed in the same way as the young soldiers in the previous column, except that their men with javelins and swords and shields were in the opposite position to the previous column.

In this way, the two columns form a three-dimensional and complementary array of long and short combinations.

The weapons of the adult soldiers in the third column are slightly different from the previous two.

They were older, the most experienced of the entire army, and their long weapons were spears, and their defensive weapons were heavier and thicker long shields.

If the first two columns are killed and rushed away by the enemy, their third column is the mainstay of the entire formation, responsible for carrying the banner of victory and defeat in the most dangerous times and holding the last line of defense for the army.

"Hah!" The Roman warriors with heavy javelins shouted in unison, then straightened up, lifted their grips and probed forward.

For a while, there were many guns and spears, and there was a feeling of nowhere to start, which made people feel afraid of retreating.

But this is a small scene for Xu Ding.

With a small formation of 60 people, the formation of the Roman squad on Taweiyuan Island was much more shocking than them.

Xu Ding has already had a way to crack it.

I saw him retract his bow and hang it on the horse's body, and then swing sideways and bend down, and hold a log for the pergola and pull it up.

Then the pergola fell, and then Xu Ding hugged the wood and smashed it.

Just as the horses were rushing, the speed slowed slightly.

"Boom!" With a bang, the log smashed in, and the array of spears and spears was suddenly blasted away, and several Roman soldiers ended their lives without a miserable howl.

Then Xu Ding swept away, and the huge log knocked out the three columns of Roman soldiers on the left flank.

The horses rushed in, and the Roman soldiers who stepped on the ground were suddenly broken, and the Roman soldiers who were not dead were also mutilated.

Xu Ding's backhand waved again, and the Roman soldiers on the right flank dodged one after another, where was there still a formation to speak of.

At this time, only the ruthless parents gave birth to a pair of legs.

With a bang, countless soldiers vomited blood and crashed into the street.

"Kill!" Meng Yu and the others took the opportunity to kill and slash with their swords.

The small formation, which was still menacing just now, suddenly collapsed and was defeated, and the other gladiators also took the opportunity to rush forward and kill the small group of Roman soldiers.

By the way, pick up the spear, heavy javelin, round shield, long shield, and broad-edged knife that fell to the ground.

Xu Ding waved the log and rushed towards the small formation of 100 people on the other side, which was also like entering a no-man's land, and the long, heavy and big log was better than any javelin spear.

Three columns of Roman soldiers were shot out of their weapons.

Then he was swept by Xu Ding's big opening and closing, and the three or two were beaten into a mess and howled all over the ground.

The gladiators, who had just suffered a big loss, took the opportunity to counterattack and quickly killed this hundred-man team, and obtained a usable weapon.

At this time, the entire gladiator army also has a lot of weapons at hand, and Xu Ding, a super general, is in charge.

The Roman general on the opposite side was about to brow out of his features, holding a long sword in his hand, and his face turned bitter.

"Who the hell is this bastard, who broke my first detachment like this." However, he still did not have the strict qualities of being a soldier, so he immediately ordered: "The second detachment and the third detachment will be reorganized and six or six formations will be built!" The hundred-man team will send me down to the city, and I will face the rebels with you. ”

After speaking, he glanced at the captain of the bow detachment.

The captain nodded slightly, and then quietly ordered everyone: "Aim at the one holding the log for me, shoot him, and the official will be promoted to two levels, and the rewards will be innumerable." ”

One hundred and twenty archers aimed their arrows at Xu Ding.

"Give me two shields!" Xu Dinglema stopped, then threw the log on the ground.

Someone immediately handed over the two round shields that had just been seized.

The round shields of the Roman army, with more elaborate workmanship, were first spliced and shaped, then covered with leather, and covered with a layer of cloth.

It is very beautiful and has a certain cushion after the arrow and the blade are stabbed.

Overall, it's practical, but it's very expensive.

However, Xu Ding weighed the weight, which was much lighter than the heavy shield of the Euphorbia.

"All obey the order, follow me to break the formation, rush over today and we will live, we can't rush over, the other armies of the Romans will rush over, we will all be killed here, this battle is only a battle to the death!" Xu Ding raised his two shields and shouted at all the gladiator armies.

Meng Yu, Carbie and others raised their weapons and shouted: "Fight to the death!" Fight to the death! Fight to the death! ”

If you don't want to die, then fight, there is no way to retreat, someone looked behind him, as if he felt that the Roman army was about to arrive, and then his eyes were resolute, staring at the city gate troops in front of him as if he were dead.

"Kill!"

Xu Ding took the lead, urging the horse to rush out, Meng Yu and others followed closely behind, one by one, their blood boiling, shouting to kill the sky.

"Hah!"

"Hah!"

"Hah!"

The Roman army was also in danger, and Rome was still at its strongest at this time, with a large number of soldiers and rich finances, and a strong deterrent and combat effectiveness both internally and externally.

Of course, more importantly, the Romans never lost their faith, and they always believed that they were the strongest.

They are proud, and they despise any enemy.

"Shoot the arrows!" Seeing that Xu Ding and the others entered the firing range, John, the general on duty at the city gate, once again waved his long sword.

The archery detachment at the head of the city instantly shot all the arrows at Xu Ding.

Xu Dingchong was at the front, and the two shields were put together, blocking the front of the horse and the two wings.

In an instant, arrows flew densely, and the sound of dong was continuous.

Both shields were riddled with arrows.

"Putting!" The Roman archers hurriedly reloaded their bows, but at this point Xu Dingyi rushed in front of their infantry and threw out a shield.

Straight ahead, it was smashed down.

Then Xu Ding threw out another shield extension.

The Roman infantry in the back rows also fell down with a terrible howl.

Xu Ding pulled out two swords on the left and right, slashed and swung left and right, and slashed and killed the Roman soldiers who were trying to make up for the gap.

Taking the lead, Xu Ding directly killed through the past and made a gap.

Meng Yu and the others behind him also rushed in, killing the enemy with their own skills.

However, I have to say that the Roman army is really strong, and if it is replaced by other rabble, it should have been defeated and fled.

But they didn't, because they didn't allow it, the Roman army was honorable, and they didn't allow themselves to lose to a group of slaves.

What's more, this is the imperial capital, and even if all the soldiers are killed, the rebels will be taken.

Therefore, although their formation was chaotic, everyone was equipped with short blades, and for a moment they fought against the army of gladiators who rushed into the industry.

The scene was once extremely tragic.

Gladiators burst out with great potential for freedom, for survival.

And the Roman soldiers, for the sake of honor, would not give in either.

Saying that Xu Ding rushed over, John's heart was extremely painful, in the face of such a powerful rebel leader, he knew that the other party's strength should be much stronger than his own, but he did not flinch, and urged the horse to dance the sword to meet it.

He uses the most profound swordsmanship in his family, using his strongest blow to meet the enemy.

However, at the moment of collision with Xu Ding, he still felt a huge force surging towards his arm.

The blow was not resisted, and before he could react, Xu Ding attacked another sword horizontally and hit his body, even though he was wearing armor, but the person still fell off his horse and hit the ground.

Xu Ding didn't care whether he lived or died, and rushed into the hundred-man team that was supposed to defend the city.

It is also like entering a no-man's land, defending unstoppable.

Break through in three or two and kill several people.

As soon as he rode into the cave, the wide gate was closed.

Xu Ding jumped down and punched out.

Suddenly, the thick gates shook several times.

Then Xu Ding threw out a fist like iron again and again.

Suddenly a large hole was smashed into the city gate.

However, this was not the result Xu Ding wanted, he took a few steps to the right flank, and then used all his strength to push straight ahead.

I heard the dull sound of the gurgling gate, and the sand and gravel rolled down where the gate on the right flank joined the wall.

The two doors that had been close together revealed a gap, which grew larger and wider, until it reached a distance where one person could enter and exit freely.

"Ahh Xu Ding is exerting his strength, and he is pushing hard.

Suddenly, the door on the right wing fell out of the city with a bang.

As soon as the city gate was broken, all the gladiators shouted wildly, and Xu Ding turned over and rushed out first.

Rome I came out.

At the moment of rushing out of the city, Xu Ding did not forget to hold the bow and wind, and turned to look at the city gate, at this time, some gladiators rushed up and chased and cut down the Roman archers above.

"Whew!" With a bang, the arrow in Xu Ding's hand flew out and hit a rope directly.

The flag of the Roman Empire fluttering in the wind falls from above.

"Qin! Qin! Qin ......"

The flag representing the honor of Rome was shot down, and the gladiators became even more frantic and excited, shouting the name of Xu Ding's doppelganger.

Then everyone rushed out and left with Xu Ding from the Roman imperial capital to the east.

As soon as the group of people left the city, the Roman army in the city arrived, looking at the east gate of the city, which was full of messes and countless corpses, and the generals and soldiers had some numbness in their scalps, and of course they were angry.

As the rebels call it, they fled from the imperial capital.

He also wiped out a brigade of defenders at the East City Gate.

This is definitely bad news.

Even in the field, the armies of other nations were strong enough to annihilate a Roman brigade armed to the teeth.

Not to mention a slave rebel army.

"Chase!" The first Roman general to arrive gritted his teeth and ordered, but immediately a lieutenant general reminded: "My lord, I am afraid that it will be difficult for us to catch up with us as foot soldiers, and the rebels have taken away all the weapons of the city guard brigade. ”

The Roman legions were organized, with three detachments as a brigade.

Ten brigades are a legion, and a regular legion can also bring a subsidiary corps of similar strength, called a combined corps.

The two combined corps were an army group, commanded and managed by the consuls.

The combat effectiveness displayed by Xu Ding and the others was far beyond what they could deal with as a brigade.

Besides, it takes at least one legion to encircle and destroy the city.

There is no doubt that the cavalry regiment is the best fit for this job.

"If you can't catch up, chase it!" The captain's face turned cold, and he rushed out of the city with a wave of his horsewhip, and the army behind him immediately followed.

Soon, the news of Alexander Qin's revolt and slaughter from the gladiatorial arena with a group of slave gladiators spread to all corners of the imperial capital.

For a moment the Romans were stunned.

Especially the fact that those spectators added fuel and vinegar to the gladiatorial arena after they went back, which made this matter even more expanded and legendary.

"Madam, Alexander Qin, who killed our men and found out the traitors hiding among the gladiators, they did not go through the west gate, but escaped from the Colosseum through the east gate, and finally from the east gate of the imperial capital, at this time General Mona sent troops to pursue him." The maid with the wine reported truthfully.

The femme fatale felt a slight pain in her head and rubbed her temples gently.

Alexander Qin is not an easy person to control, everything changes from the beginning of the gladiatorial fight.

Everyone underestimated Alexander Qin's energy to the point of making such a big mess.

"Alexander Qin, what should I do with you, a new hero rises, Spartacus...... Could it be that you really want to destroy Rome, hehe, how is this possible, powerful as the sun, you are like fireflies......" The femme fatale muttered to herself, shaking her head and sighing.

Soon the maid with the flower also reported directly: "Madam, His Majesty the Emperor's people are here, I am afraid that his expression is a little unkind......

"Humph! Come on, let him wait in the side hall, the old lady has a headache now and wants to sleep......"

"Uh......" two maids.

………………

Out of the city of Rome, Xu Ding and others walked all the way east, encountering several traffic checkpoints along the way, all of which were pulled.

The city of Rome is in the middle of the Italian peninsula, and of course it is not called the Italian peninsula now, but the Apennine Peninsula.

The entire peninsula was directly under the Roman Empire.

The modern Roman Empire had a system of provinces outside the peninsula, with governors in each province.

The governor is similar to the county governor of Dahan, and has a lot of power.

Some of these provinces were subordinate to the Emperor, while others were subordinate to the Senate.

This is also the reason why the Senate has the capital to confront the emperor.

Moreover, most of these provinces close to the peninsula were in the hands of the Senate, and those far away were in the hands of the emperor.

This is also a great constraint.

The Senate is mainly responsible for the internal, and the emperor is mainly responsible for the external, which is a tacit understanding that has lasted for hundreds of years.

After all, the Senate did not need to rely on military exploits to consolidate its achievements, while the new emperor needed to win foreign wars to enhance his prestige and merit, which made a clear difference, which also caused this peculiar phenomenon.

There were about 500 people who followed Xu Ding to kill the Roman Empire, and the rest were either killed in battle or sneaked away.

After obtaining a simple supplement, Xu Ding led everyone into the forest, and then made initial reforms to the large army.

The five most courageous, the most combative and commander-in-command were selected as centurions.

A hundred men under each of them.

The five centurions were the confidant retainer Meng Yu, the Slavic Goubi, the Germanic Veratoli, the Celtic Mondu, and the former Mediterranean leader Soros.

After electing a new centurion, Xu Ding began to instill in them a military system from the East, and Xu Ding decided to abandon the military framework of the Han Dynasty in the East and Rome in the West, that is, to build a new military system with the commander, the chief, the centurion, and the commander of the thousand as the basic military units.

The main reason for this was that the gladiator armies came from all over Rome and from the various tribes around Rome who had been defeated or plundered.

The team is complex, and there is no such thing as the Roman system, which seems simple, but in fact requires great tacit understanding and trust.

In the future, the rebel army has grown, and the source is still complicated, and he has no time or possibility to refine and split the troops.

"Qin! Where do we go next? It is believed that the Roman army will soon catch up, and we must find a place to avoid them. The Slavs asked worriedly.

The other four people also looked at Xu Ding, and Xu Ding said, "What do you think?" ”

The Celts muttered, "Let's go north first, and then west, so that we can get rid of the Romans by surprise and let them all go east to eat shit." ”

Soros said: "No, even if we can avoid the Roman army chasing east for a short time if we go west, but when they react back, they can still catch up, and there are many checkpoints in the west, there are a large number of Roman troops, we will have to encounter them sooner or later, and when the time comes, we will be dead."

I'm going to go along the east coast, I'm familiar with it, and then we can get a couple of boats, and then we'll go to sea, whether it's Sicily, or Sardinia, or Africa. ”

Montu was a Celtic native of Gaul, in the northwest of the Roman Empire, and it was natural for him to return to his hometown if he went west.

Soros understands it better, he is already the leader of an island in the Mediterranean, and he has lived a life at sea, and where there is water is his paradise.

Going to sea was his most direct choice, and he naturally refused to go west to drill into the mountains and forests and live a savage-like life.

Xu Ding set his sights on the other three again, Meng Yu was his own retainer, so there was nothing to say.

Villatuli was a Germanic native whose home was close to the east of Gaul, and it was undoubtedly in his interest to go west.

And the Slavs are in the north of the Roman Empire, so it is more convenient to go north.

However, the three of them did not say the direction, but said to Xu Dingbiao: "Alexander Qin, you are our commander, we will fight wherever you go, I believe that your vision is farther than ours, and only by following you can we go to victory." ”

Two cunning and shrewd fellows.

This made Xu Ding couldn't help but look at the two of them higher.

Who doesn't want to go home, who doesn't want to be free, but the two of them can see more clearly, it's not a question of where to go, it's a question of standing in line.

Personal interests and selfishness must be subordinated to the will of the Supreme Commander.

Xu Ding smiled, gently patted Meng Yu on the wings beside him and said, "Good!" Since everybody said to continue east, let us go all the way east until we reach the east coast in the east, when we will be looking for an opportunity to cross north to the province of Macedonia. ”

The province of Macedonia is located on the Balkan Peninsula.

It has been a place with a strong smell of gunpowder since ancient times.

To the east of Macedonia are mostly the territorial provinces of the Senate, and if you go there to make trouble, the new emperor Severus will probably acquiesce.

After all, the new emperor had a great enemy to the west, and the threat of the British governor Albernus was more to suppress than his small slave rebellion.

"......" Meng Du and Soros looked confused.

It's okay to be like this, but seeing that the other three didn't disobey their orders, they also shut up with interest.

In this rebel army, Alexander Qin had unparalleled prestige.

Xu Ding can replace them at any time if he is unhappy, and even deal with them like a mole.

After all, they didn't make any achievements when they broke out of the city of Rome.

Being able to sit as a centurion depends on Xu Ding's direct appointment, because Xu Ding believes that they have the ability to command and manage the army.

However, this ability is not irreplaceable, and the growth of the individual in the war will be very fast, and the display of personal talent will be more direct.

If he encounters a good seedling, Xu Ding doesn't mind vigorously promoting.

After resting, the army descended along the west coast, rather than in the middle of the peninsula and headed straight east.

Therefore, the Romans' pursuers quickly overtook them, but the Romans did not know where Xingding and the others went.

Because the number of rebels was smaller, they deliberately hid, and went out day and night, and it was difficult to find a trace.

Along the west coast to the east, there is an important seaport town called Naples.

From Soros's mouth, he knew that this was a big city, and it was also a very rich city.

It was the summer resort of the Roman emperors, with a suitable climate and beautiful scenery.

Not far to the southeast is an active volcano called Mount Vesuvius, an active volcano that erupted a hundred years ago and destroyed the bustling city of Pompeii.

At this point, Naples became the veritable largest city in the southern part of the peninsula.

The capture of this place was of great significance, as there was also a Colosseum in the city, which also housed many gladiator slaves.

In this way, it can not only replenish materials, replace equipment, and expand influence, but also expand the number of soldiers.
