Volume III Spartacus Chapter 99 Slave Revolt

The shouts and firelight from the direction of the dock concentration camp in the distance made him tremble all at once. yelled: "Oh no, there's an accident in the concentration camp, come with me to the rescue!" ”

He led the centurion to the location of the concentration camp with a quick whip. The leader of the strong man couldn't figure out why the concentration camp was suddenly on fire as soon as he left on his front foot.

You have to know that if you have hundreds of strong guards over there, even if you don't have the strength of the Roman army, you won't suddenly lose control of the situation.

When he felt the camp, he found that the buildings were already lying in a sea of fire. The ponds all around were littered with corpses.

When he looked closely, he saw that they were almost all the guards he had left here. He couldn't figure out why these people were suddenly served in a pot. You must know that the slaves inside are all guarded by the Yan family and imprisoned in various cells.

The reality of the situation took a turn for the worse, and the situation was far worse than he expected. When he and his hundreds of guards and Roman soldiers chased after him at great speed, he found that the shadows of the dock ahead were already filled with countless strong warriors.

Before he could react, the team from there rushed towards him. It was only when he got closer that he could see his opponent's appearance clearly in the firelight.

It was a tall, strong man, far above him. Even a lot stronger than he thought was a strong gladiator.

And the number of opponents is incalculable all of a sudden, the dense number of people is far above the level of hundreds, presumably the gladiator pre-selection personnel in the concentration camp are also among them.

The first instinct of the strong man leader was to run away, when had he faced so many strong perverted enemies in his life. Another terrifying thought crossed his mind. Could this be the rebel army of Spartacus?

If that's the case, then what are his chances of winning? Thinking of this, he hurriedly left the bewildered centurion and fled to the camp of the Roma army.

Spartacus and a number of other gladiators of the rebel army quietly hid among the various ships on the docks through the day's labor. When night fell, they quietly stepped out of the ships.

On the other hand, Jin Zhan and others, who were mixed with the city guards and logistics miscellaneous troops, offered the food and wine they had stolen from the noble manor to the Roman army as a reward. Almost all of the garrisons of Varilius were drawn into the large battalion.

At this time, the guards remaining around the dock camp were in a relative vacuum.

Therefore, Spartacus and hundreds of experienced gladiators attacked the guards outside the concentration camp with lightning speed.

One is to fight unprepared, and the other is to be comprehensively crushed by physical fitness and combat skills. The hundreds of guards under the influence of both sides were no match for the rebel gladiators. Spartacus and several other leaders even put down the frightened guards in an instant like chopping melons and vegetables.

After the release of the long-imprisoned reserve gladiators and other slaves, the rebels gained hundreds of new troops at once. After they were trafficked to Napoles, they were confined to cell rooms and lived in darkness.

After being liberated at this time, I heard that it was the legendary Spartacus who personally led the rebel army to save them, and they were all grateful and full of pride, and they were bound to crush these hateful slave owners together with the rebel army.

Therefore, the combat effectiveness and morale of this group of newly liberated new forces are also very amazing. When they saw the Roma soldiers who had come to die, they found a place to vent their anger.

Without any mobilization for battle, they grabbed whatever weapons they could and drowned the Roma soldiers in them like a tidal wave.

These centurions of the forces of Varilius had no idea what was happening in front of them. In a hurry, how could his soldiers follow his orders to form a defensive formation? Half of them could no longer withstand the pressure of the huge momentum on the opposite side and scattered and fled, and the remaining half could barely maintain their fighting spirit.

But how long can it last in the face of a wolf-like enemy? It didn't take long for almost all of the Roma soldiers to turn around and flee to the barracks where they had been put back, after all, there were still more than 1,000 regular Roma troops to rely on.

The leader of the strong men ran to the camp of the Roman army in despair, and shouted: "The chief is not good! The Spartacus rebels are coming, the slaves are rioting! ”

General Varilius, who was munching on a leg of mutton and eating a steak, turned pale when he heard the news, and quickly dropped the food in his hand and went to gather troops outside the barracks.

But at this time, there were bonfires, drinking and singing everywhere in the barracks, and there was a little bit of pre-war preparation. In such a drunken state, it would not be a big joke to expect them to fight against the brutal slave rebels.

General Rome slapped his head and sighed loudly: "Alas... The tide is over. ”

But he couldn't escape alone, otherwise what would have awaited him would be an angry death penalty. He thought to himself, after all, there were still nearly two thousand troops. As long as they stick to the camp, presumably these slave lords can't help them.

Therefore, he dragged all the centurions out of the queue. Let them assemble their troops as soon as possible and prepare to fight the enemy in the city.

Although both the state and the morale of the army were very bad for the Roma army. But the military deterrence and confidence they have accumulated over many years are still deeply rooted in the hearts of every soldier.

When the war drums and horns of the army sounded, the original state of the army was discouraged in an instant. The fine tradition of the Roma army allowed them to assemble in defensive formations as quickly as possible.

The heavy shield head array was at the front, followed by the swordsmen and spearmen, and soon formed a phalanx of Roma that was both offensive and defensive.

When Spartacus led a large number of gladiators and newly liberated slaves to chase the remnants of the defeated army, when they reached the vicinity of the barracks, they saw the regular army of Rome in a neat array in the distance.

For the previous battle with the Roma army in Capua, Spartacus Cress and others naturally remember it vividly. Even in an extremely unfavorable situation, the Roma military formation was still able to exert good combat effectiveness. Therefore, although their strength has increased greatly at this time, they do not dare to take it lightly.

Spartacus, Kress and the others stopped the slaves who came forward impulsively. Signal them to retreat in an orderly manner, leaving the spearhead of the attack to the regular gladiator army who had rescued them earlier.

Looking at the ranks of gladiators, imagining that this is the legendary Spartacus rebel army that has swept away Capua, the new members obediently obeyed the instructions and silently retreated to the side.

At this time, Spartacus did not have any intention of giving a battle charge, and the gladiators of the rebel army were also waiting quietly in a very tacit understanding, as if they were all waiting for something in unison.

"It's coming!!" Spartacus spoke at the same time as Kress and the others.

"Array!" As Spartacus sounded his clear and loud order, the gladiator team suddenly retreated a few steps back en masse, leaving a large open space.

Under the strange gaze of the Roma soldiers, they noticed that a large number of men and horses had arrived from a distance. The physical quality of this group of personnel was obviously not as majestic as that of the gladiators who stood first. And they still carry strangely shaped weapons in their hands, and it is difficult to say whether they can even call them weapons.

However, it was such a strange army that made the mighty and majestic gladiator army look forward to it and wait patiently.

Naturally, the Roman's army did not dare to act rashly, and they were now in a serious state of inadequacy. I had to use the strong defensive force of the formation to form a formation. If you attack rashly, you will only reveal more flaws and be forced by strong enemies.

Therefore, the Roman soldiers watched as the strange army in front of them and the gladiators were formed, forming an even more strange armed team.

The team in front of them formed a series of scattered vertical squads, each of which seemed to have the same personnel ratio and weapon combination.

The first one of them was holding a heavy square shield similar to that of the Roman soldiers, which was obviously understandable. The latter had equipment in their hands that they had never seen before. It can't be seen from a distance, but it looks like an alternative shield.

The soldiers of the second platoon carried this shrunken shield in one hand and a hand-armed weapon with a knife or sword in the other.

The third row is a bit more nondescript, and the long weapons are simply unheard of. Or maybe it's just a long branch.

The man who carried the long branch was the tallest and strongest man in every column, and his figure stood out from the ranks, but he was only assigned such a piece of wood.

Then there are two spearmen, which must be their main attack output. At the end of the troops, there is also a man with a big fork, which is another weapon that makes people laugh and cry.

The Roman soldiers have been fighting in the north and south for so many years, but they have never seen such strange shapes and miscellaneous weapons and equipment. If it weren't for the fact that the name of the Spartacus rebel army was too loud and the deterrence was huge enough, they would probably be laughing in front of the battle at this time.

But just when they couldn't help laughing, Spartacus's side suddenly turned on the war machine and crushed them.
