It is said that Jin Zhan, Spartacus and the rebel army, under the leadership of Omenas, went all the way smoothly and succeeded in finding the lost temple he said earlier.

The former carved beams and magnificent buildings are now lying quietly in the ruins. The lost temple still offers a glimpse of its former glory.

And now, this lost temple, which has been silent for I don't know how many years, has finally ushered in its hustle and bustle again. Today's rebel army is mighty and has more than 1,000 people.

It is somewhat inconvenient for such a large team to be stationed in the various courtyards of the temple. The temple had been leaking in many places, but the harsh conditions were nothing short of the slaves who were accustomed to suffering and the gladiators who had been bleeding for many years and pinned their heads to the waistbands of their trousers.

These days they drank heartily, splurging and enjoying the real wine and delicacies they had scavenged from the homes of Batitas and Soronis.

Since almost all of them are from poor backgrounds, everyone is almost the same, and there are not too many barriers and gaps between them. To put it bluntly, these gladiators seemed to be the same as each other, and were traded as slaves from all parts of the Roman Republic and around the world to Napolus and Capua.

They have lived a life of slavery for too many years, and after being free and liberated by one move, they feel that the whole world is full of beauty and peace. In a short period of time, the entire temple was peaceful and harmonious, singing and dancing.

And since Spartacus was elected as the leader of the rebel army, he naturally assumed the responsibility of leadership. He can't squander and enjoy like everyone else.

He carefully counted and calculated the proportion and distribution consumption of materials every day. More than 1,000 people consume food resources every day. Even if they return with a full load, they simply can't withstand this kind of consumption of sitting and eating.

Fortunately, there is still Jin Zhan, a person who understands like Spartacus, in the rebel army.

With Jin Zhan here, Spartacus hardly uses any recording tools, and all the data can be clearly stored in Jin Zhan's brain. As long as Spartacus had any questions, Jin Zhan could tell him the answer with precise data.

"How long will our food last for a few days?" Spartacus asked Jin Zhan as he sharpened his sword.

Jin Zhan replied: "There are only three days of reserves." ”

"It's only been three days... Then why don't you look anxious at all? Spartacus looked at Jin Zhan and asked in confusion.

"What problem can be solved in a hurry? If I hadn't endured it for so long, how could there have been the vigorous turnaround we had before. Jin Zhan teased.

"Hmph, you're embarrassed to say this, you actually learned the news so early, and caused me to be kept in the dark like a fool for so long, and to work so hard for Batitas, the enemy who killed his wife, for so long." Spartacus was angry.

"Alas, don't turn your face and deny people. If I hadn't been so painstakingly forbearing. How could you have the joy of slaying Badidas? Jin Zhan said dissatisfiedly.

"Come on. I won't mention it, so don't sell it now. I've been obedient to you, but you haven't even revealed a to me these days. With three days left, what the hell are you brewing? Spartacus asked aggressively.

"Now I know I'm in a hurry, didn't you get drunk and dream all day like them a few days ago, aren't you happy?" Jin Zhan continued to laugh. "I'm the only one in this, running around for the future of the entire rebel army."

Spartacus's face was blue and white, and he scratched his head and said, "This has just won the victory, so why don't we celebrate?" Besides, haven't you seen that I've organized regular military training these days? ”

"This group of slaves was also divided into three, six, nine and so on, and they were specially assigned task training according to the strengths of different people. It's not idle, is it? By the way, you said that you are constantly trying to run around, no wonder I didn't see your figure for the first two days. ”

Jin Zhan snorted and said, "You people, you don't understand the truth that you are not arrogant in victory and not discouraged in defeat. You've been worrying about you for a long time, and I've been keeping an eye on the movements of Roma's army in the dark of night. Do you know that Roma's sentries have spread out in all directions of Capua? ”

"Oh? Did you find any news? Spartacus subconsciously asked, and at the same time realized that something was wrong and said, "Have you been wandering outside for several nights in a row?" Don't you even need to sleep? ”

Jin Zhan smiled and said, "Alas, since defeating the Shadow of Death. I feel like my body is a little bit different from what it used to be. Even if I don't have a sentry mission, I will continue to intensify my physical training. ”

"Besides, sleep is only used for me to recover from the fatigue of my body, and my mental strength is always abundant, and I don't need sleep to replenish it at all. As for their number, I heard from a few sentry sentries that Graeber is said to have assembled all his troops, totaling 30,000 men. ”

"30,000 horses?" Spartacus subconsciously exclaimed. "That's almost 30 times our number. Jin Zhan, you can still be so calm when you find out this kind of news, and you only told me the news until now. Or do you think we're not going to have a show at all, so let's enjoy it for a few days and then disperse? ”

Faced with Spartacus's jokes, Jin Zhan became serious and said: "It is indeed 30,000 people, but excluding miscellaneous logistics personnel, I estimate that his actual combat personnel are less than about 20,000. ”

"That's a terrifying number. And from the last battle in Capua, I think you are also well aware of the strength of the Roma army. ”

Spartacus nodded solemnly. Thinking of the battle in which they had a complete psychological advantage, Spartacus felt a deep pressure. The course of the battle is far from being as comforting as the result.

The cooperation of the combat strength of the Roman army, the coordinated operation, and the change of the queue formation are all very reasonable in all aspects. This made it difficult for an army of improvised gladiators and slaves to match. I am afraid that in the event of a large-scale conflict, it will be the Roma army that will win in the end.

"After all, you've been in Graeber's army, but do you have any ideas for dealing with the enemy?" Jin Zhan asked.

Spartacus pondered for a moment and said, "Although the lower limit of the combat effectiveness of the Roman army is very high. However, Graeber's commanding ability is not very good. In the course of his expedition, I discovered that this man had made many mistakes and mistakes in decision-making. ”

"After this battle, he must have been under great pressure, and the people in the Kapua region were panicked, and it was impossible for him not to leave enough troops in the city to stabilize the people. As a result, he could not mobilize as many mobile troops as he thought. ”

Jin Zhan nodded and said, "That's right, I think the same as you." Capua is Graeber's most important stronghold. If the city was lost, his army outside the city would be completely deprived of support and logistical supplies. At the same time, the Senate will punish him severely, so it is likely that Graeber will be able to dispatch no more than half of the army. ”

"Well, in that case. We're only 10 times more likely to face enemies. If we concentrate superior forces to make a breakthrough at a fixed point, we may not have the strength to fight. Spartacus said confidently.

"Oh?" This time it was Jin Zhan's turn to be puzzled, and he asked, "10 times the enemy, do you still think that we can have the strength to fight?" ”

Spartacus remained confident, explaining: "Although the enemy is numerous, a force of tens of thousands of men must be equipped with a sufficient number of civilian servants and logistics managers. According to the custom of the Roman army, the ratio of soldiers to miscellaneous servants was 2:1. to between 1:1. ”

Therefore, in fact, his real combat strength is only seven or eight thousand at most. And for the vast fields of Capua on all sides, his little force is not capable of carrying out a carpet full-coverage search attack. We can avoid its main forces constantly interspersing and attacking its weak links. ”

After listening to Spartacus's analysis, Jin Zhan was even more convinced of the military talent of this legendary figure in history. This talent seems to be innate, otherwise how could he have mastered so many military ideas with just a few months of military career in Thrace?

"Good. Like you said, we have to avoid the main enemy forces. And my idea is to go one step further, and we can take the initiative to pin down the enemy's main forces and let them march according to our train of thought. Jin Zhan added.

"Wonderful! You said before that Graeber had sent out many sentries in all directions around Capua. Then, according to your thinking, should we take the initiative to choose a direction to expose our movements to the enemy sentinels? In this way, the main force of the enemy army will inevitably be arranged in accordance with this information. Spartacus came to his senses.

"It's all right, it's really smart." Jin Zhan couldn't help but applaud. "Our main advantage now is our strong mobility and absolute superiority in high-end combat power. Once the enemy's huge force is pinned down and mobilized by us, he will only be exhausted. ”
