Volume III Spartacus Chapter 94 Sightseeing Tour
Spartacus said: "With their main force pinned down, the rest of us have the opportunity to rob the nobles and obtain more supplies." It seems that all this has been planned by you for a long time. In other words, how did you, a kid who has no military career, cultivate such a systematic and effective military thought? ”
"It's hard for you to understand this, I'm from the mysterious East, where there are hundreds of schools of thought and advanced philosophical systems, and the political economy, rule of law culture, and military have all developed to a very splendid and prosperous point." Jin Zhan smiled.
"I see. When you say that, I'm getting more and more interested in your hometown. Maybe one day I can lead this army of slave rebels to send you home and visit your mighty homeland? Spartacus said excitedly.
Jin Zhan smiled and shook his head: "Then we have to wait until the Year of the Monkey." In his heart, he was thinking about how to complete the plot of this world as soon as possible, after all, he had been in this world for three months. I wonder how the timeline of this dream world flows in the entire system? For this reason, he often worries about how many tribulations Zuo Yulan has experienced during the time he has been separated from him...
The temple where the rebels now live is in a wilderness not far from Mount Vesuvius. It was located dozens of kilometers south of Capua, and the sentinel sent by Graeber was still very far away from it.
In the previous days and nights, Jin Zhan had firmly engraved the terrain around Capua and the location of the aristocratic manor in the memory unit of his brain. His previous exploration was considered to have completed the topographic exploration work, and now as long as his mind moved, this huge map could be holographically presented to his eyes anytime and anywhere.
With the precise positioning of this holographic navigator, Jin Zhan led Kress, Drogba and several others to easily shuttle between various wildernesses and woodlands. Far away from the scouts who were squiring around the south of Capua. They went all the way north, slowly approaching the area southeast of Capua.
The few people led by Jin Zhan this time are all people who are in good health, act like the wind, and have excellent endurance. A distance of tens of kilometers is just a few hours of travel for them. Strong people like Chris, Drogba and others are not a problem with this physical exertion.
And for Jin Zhan at this time. Running on this kind of flat wilderness is even more familiar. He is now becoming more and more familiar with the motion frame of reference of this virtual world. The method of using the phase difference judgment loophole to achieve its own effective displacement is also exerted to the extreme.
With the organic cooperation of all aspects of the body, countless action cancellation instructions have successfully achieved an optimal endurance exercise method with the least physical energy consumption.
If it weren't for the fact that he had to wait for Kress and the others behind him, Jin Zhan would have already been wiped out and left them far away. His current flowing Ling Bo micro-step method can be used with all his strength, and he can continue to speed up.
Coupled with the fact that the judgment phase of his body lags far behind his actual phase in the motion reference frame, Jin Zhan can make full use of this gap to minimize the impact of air resistance. After all, when the speed reaches a certain level, the aerodynamic drag is the most important factor affecting the speed.
In half a day, Jin Zhan led the panting Cress and the others to finally rush to a high ground southeast of Capua City. Looking far away from the top of the sky, I found the traces of the sentinels sent out in the city of Capua.
Kress couldn't help but raise his head excitedly and said, "Brother Jin Zhan, we've been in a hurry for a long time, when will we be able to do it?" I met a lot of stragglers along the way, but I didn't listen to you. ”
Jin Zhan looked at the impatient but a little cute Kress and replied: "I have endured all the way until now, it is really difficult for you Kress." Now that the scout's camp in the distance is all in your hands, you don't want to show mercy. ”
Graeber's eyes were shining brightly, and he said with a bang: "Don't worry! After recuperating and eating and drinking for a few days, there is nowhere to do it, if you don't have a good activity, how can you be worthy of those good food and wine? ”
Drogba also smiled and echoed: "I'm also suffocating and panicking, Kress, you can start lightly, how many do you leave for our brothers?" ”
Before he could finish speaking, Kress had already rushed downhill in the lead.
It was the afternoon sun, and the heat was unbearable. Graeber's sentinels were sitting together, drinking wine and eating lunch. A few people even lay down comfortably in simple tents and fell asleep.
Although the rebels have a great reputation, but now that Graeber has gathered so many troops, these spies don't think that the rebels dare to come and make trouble. Therefore, they are somewhat passive and enjoy their time.
The sudden riot of Kress and the others caught these unsuspecting Roma sentries off guard. In a panic, they couldn't even find their own weapons and armor.
And the gladiators who rushed towards them in front of them were already very close to them. But fortunately, there seem to be only a few people scattered on the other side.
But when they got close enough, they were shocked to find that the other had gone to be so strong. None of them had experienced the previous day's clashes in Kapua.
Although rumors in the market have heard that this rebel army in Capua has a group of gladiators who are extremely strong in combat. But it was only at this time that they understood the truth that it is better to hear than to see. These gladiators were far more terrifying to their own eyes than they were in the arena from afar.
With a crisp metal thud, a sentry was whisked away like a kite with a broken string. The rise of Kress killing, is it not enough at all? Then a sword slashed at another sentry soldier who had stepped forward in a hurry.
The spear in his hand was severed by Kress's sword, and the blade of the sword continued to weaken, cutting deep through the sentinel's body, splashing a rain of blood.
How could Kress have stopped at all? Facing another sentinel who was fleeing in a hurry. He accelerated vertically and slammed into the sentry as hard as a hammer. The huge inertia knocked the sentry to the ground, and it was difficult to get up in a short time.
The rest of the people were also easily dealt with by Drogba, Barka and others.
The sentry team of about a dozen people did not support it at all, and it took a moment for the whole army to be wiped out. Kress and others even complained about the fragility of the enemy army, and it was difficult to enjoy it at all.
So Jin Zhan took them back and forth in this area. Defeated more than a dozen sentry squads before and after. And the Sentinel members are all solved without falling.
As a result, Graeber's sentinel force was cleared of a distinct fan-shaped vacuum area southeast of Capua.
After the victory, Jin Zhan did not forget to take a few of them to enjoy the bonfire, food and wine left by the sentry soldiers. This made Cress addicted, and the fight was all about sightseeing and a picnic.
In Capua, Graeber summoned a leader of the sentinels in his mansion. They brought the news that Graeber had found no trace of the rebels in various places.
It was like this for days, and it didn't give Gray a headache. If you can't catch the main movement of the enemy. I really didn't dare to attack rashly, let alone disperse my troops and act blindly.
However, there seems to be a lot less of a message tonight than usual. He didn't get a return from the remaining sentries until late at night. This made him feel bad at once, and at the same time, he thought that maybe this was a kind of discovery.
He hurriedly called several of his staff officers in and asked, "Quickly count the intelligence of the sentinels, and we will analyze their locations on this map." ”
After a moment of fiddling and sorting, the staff officer roughly sorted out the direction of the distribution of the missing sentinels on the map, and the result made Graeber feel a little surprised.
He laughed and said, "That looks like it's in that area." The southeast sector of Capua City is the area where the sentinels are concentrated and lost, and it is likely to be close to the possible location of the Spartacus rebels, and they still can't help but come out to forage for food.
"Pass my order, and tomorrow gather all the sentries scattered around, and focus on the rebels southeast of Capua. The sentry was in front, and then half of the troops in our city followed suit. ”
Several lieutenants took the order.
Illicia slowly walked out of the room. She said expectantly, "Have you finally found their traces?" I'm going to go out of the city with you to fight, and I want to see those lowly slaves crushed by the army. ”
Graeber frowned, and said helplessly: "Now there is only a general direction of suspicion, and we can't come out of the nest." Cunning enemies can make a detour to Capua City at any time, so it's better to be cautious. ”
Illicia complained: "Honey, don't you have a strong cavalry unit? Once they find those slaves, they will have no chance of surviving under the pursuit and trampling of your iron horsemen. ”
Graeber also began to get a little irritable. His cavalry unit can be described as the trump card of his trump card, and it is also the biggest capital that he can have a place in the Republic of Rome.
Rushing out, if there are three long and two short losses are heavy, it will be completely worth the loss. But the pride of men made it impossible for him to say these words to Illicia.
He replied a little perfunctorily: "Don't worry, half of our men and horses will be enough to put these slaves to death." Forget it, I'll take you with me tomorrow. ”
Only then did Elisia get his answer, and smiled with satisfaction.
