Chapter 354
Apparently these slave owners did not consider the great potential of a man who wanted to live well. The almost skinny slaves limped out of the hands of their slave owners, and did their best to evade the warriors of the Guardians led by the slave owners and the local regular army, and some of them actually ran all the way to the mountain range where Heras Curt's Roman rebels were based.
However, some red-eyed slave owners who chased and killed slaves did not listen to the advice of the leaders of the government army next to them, but also ridiculed the government army for being weak and incompetent, not only unable to exterminate the rebel army, but even cowering in battle at this time. So they left the government of the Sassanid Empire behind, and in this way they commanded their warriors to chase the slaves all the way to the mountains where the slaves had fled, and there was a great sense that they would never return home until they were caught. However, this momentum did not last long before it was extinguished by a patrol army led by Heras Curt. The samurai of the courtyard are just some thugs, but they rely on their tall stature and strength, and they can eat three full meals a day, so they can still have some effect in the face of these hungry slaves or lone thieves and robbers, but if they really let them face the military formation composed of these elite soldiers who advance and retreat in an orderly manner, then even they can only retreat helplessly one by one.
But they didn't ask the patrolling Roman rebels if they could say yes or not, and the rebels were red-eyed when they saw that the man was a samurai of the slave owners. You must know that their predecessors were also slaves, and they naturally hated the lackeys of these slave owners. Therefore, these Roman rebels did not mean to be polite, and they shouted together and charged at the warriors of the Guardian. Those courtyard warriors faced the impact of the military formation, how could they not be terrified? Some of the samurai who were a little slower to react were chopped to the ground and then stabbed to death by the countless swarms of spears.
Thanks to the surviving warriors who ran fast enough and were loyal enough at the same time, even in such a life-and-death moment, they did not forget to take their masters with them when they fled, so these slave owners and warriors were lucky not to be buried in the mountains. Although they looked very embarrassed to flee in a hurry, the slave owners who were observing the situation outside were not in the mood to laugh at them, and there was a trace of luck in their hearts, fortunately they followed the advice of the officers of the Sassanid Empire army and did not chase into the valley together, but then there was a wave of fear, they were lucky that they did not rush in as recklessly as these people, but they were also afraid that with these successful escaped slaves as a precedent, they would make their slaves more difficult to take care of in the future. If you are lucky enough, as long as you successfully escape into the mountains and meet the soldiers of the Roman rebels, then you can eat and drink spicy food for the rest of your life and live a normal life. Even if it's really bad luck and the escape fails to be caught by the slave owner, then the great thing is just death. You must know that death is a relief for these slaves, they have been looking forward to getting rid of the current inhuman treatment, whether they are alive or dead, but they have not been forced to a dead end, so they barely survived for so long.
What the slave owners feared eventually came true, and it was precisely because of these two thousand men as a precedent that Heras Curt's army received slaves who came to him almost every day, and to his surprise, he finally recruited a total of more than 3,000 slave soldiers in the surrounding area. These slave soldiers were no longer hungry and full under Heras Curt, but after Heras Curt's careful care, they were finally no longer as skinny as before, but these slaves were not knotted with muscles and muscles, but at least they were all powerful and bright-eyed. At this point, Heras Curt had only gathered enough to have an army of 10,000 men.
After having 10,000 soldiers, Heras Curt wanted to immediately lead his army north, and wanted to make the perigee of his garrison as close as possible to the border between the Sassanid Empire and the Great Sui where Li Wenyuan was located, after all, it would also facilitate Li Wenyuan's support for his material transportation. But this idea was soon rejected by Zhang Zeduan, for a very simple reason: you must know that in the Sassanid Empire, the further north you go, the more mountain ranges, and at the same time, this means that you are getting farther and farther away from the core area of the Sassanid Empire's economy, politics and culture, if so, how can it play a role in overthrowing the slavery system of the Sassanid Empire?
Zhang Zeduan was in front of this table in the room where he is today, and had a heated discussion with all the Roman generals who commanded the army in the room at that time, which was no less intense than the scene of Zhuge Wuhou fighting with Sun Wu in the Three Kingdoms period. In the end, Zhang Zeduan still succeeded in convincing a room of Romans, and thus determined the base camp of the Roman rebel army here. After all, this is a transition zone where the mountains gradually flatten out, and almost any kind of terrain can be found in this vicinity. Moreover, much of the terrain here can be made into excellent hiding holes with a little modification, and with such an arrangement, it is possible to make every step of the attacking government army have to pay the price of blood. It was on this topography that Heras Curt was able to withstand the uninterrupted encirclement and suppression of the Sassanid Empire over the years.
But this time is different from the past, looking at the current posture, it seems that the people of the Sassanid Empire are going to move seriously. After all, there were only a few hundred thousand regular troops stationed in the northern provinces for defense. Moreover, nearly half of the troops of these more than 100,000 people were led by a general of the Sassanid Empire, who once cooperated with the Western Turks to enter the Green Mountains and fought a strategic decisive battle with Li Wenyuan. Since that defeat, the army on the northern side of the province has been relatively empty. Therefore, there was no extra energy to care about Heras Curt's Roman rebels. Therefore, Heras Curt used this golden period of self-care in the northern provinces, and constantly built and improved the buildings and various defenses in his base, so that it had the current scale.
