As the sun gradually rose and the temperature in the wilderness began to warm, the fog that enveloped the battlefield finally lifted. As a result, the state of the camp in Rome was clearly visible to the rebels. From a distance, you can see that the number of tents has been reduced by half. And there were few guards outside the camp.

Spartacus looked at the scene in front of him, sighed, and said, "It seems that Graeber still fled, leaving behind this battalion of remnants, probably just to stop us." ”

Jin Zhan nodded and said, "It seems that this is indeed the case." I still had a little illusion about Graeber, thinking that he had led the troops quite well before, and the discipline and spirit of the troops were okay. Who would have thought that this guy actually took the initiative to run away. ”

Kress interjected: "Then why do the rest of this gang go out to resist when they know that they are destined to die?" ”

Spartacus shook his head, "They are different from our poor slaves. Most of them are civilians with free status, they have their own families, they have parents and relatives, and there is no way to retreat easily. ”

"So what should we do now?" Kress asked.

"Since the other party is already determined to hold us back, it is basically impossible for us to catch up with Graeber's army. We don't need to hurt each other with these desperate Roma soldiers, Graeber must not have left enough food for them. ”

"As long as we spend a little longer. After letting them achieve their goal of procrastination, they will flee separately. Spartacus replied to Kressius.

"Is that the end of the battle?" Kress said unsatisfactorily, and he regretted it a little after saying it. Because looking at the Roman phalanx in front of him, which was lined up in a neat formation and meticulously prepared for the formation, he still showed a strong enough determination to fight to the death.

If you really want to eat the other side, then your side will inevitably have to pay a lot of casualties.

So Kress also shook and sighed: "Graeber, a timid fellow, will tremble under the iron hooves of our army sooner or later, so let him live for a few more days." ”

Sure enough, after the two armies confronted each other for a day, the entire army of Roma's side dispersed into a state of armed defense. With the tacit permission of the generals, the Roma soldiers began to flee for their lives one after another.

Because the opposing troops have been completely broken into pieces in the process of fleeing for their lives, all the troops are scattered. The rebels sent light cavalry to pursue them on a large scale in time, but there was still no way to leave behind most of the scattered Roma soldiers.

The slaves and miscellaneous servants who stayed behind naturally accepted the surrender of the rebels, after all, they did not have as many concerns as the civilians of Romer. As long as there is a mouthful of food to eat, aren't they all the same who they follow to make cows and horses?

Of course, when they actually joined this rebel army, they prayed to God and thanked God for giving them the opportunity to stay and die. Otherwise, if they follow Roma's army back to Capua, they will miss a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to turn around. I didn't expect the rebels to be a paradise for slaves, just like the legend.

After this battle, the size of the rebel army increased again. And with the superposition of the airport's fighting spirit, many people have already obtained high military merits from it, and at this time they have gradually stood out in the ranks of the rebel army and grown into a grassroots officer.

Even if they were not able to become officers, many of the soldiers received a lot of money and materials. Even if you mix it almost well, you can at least eat and drink freely, and you don't have to worry about personal safety at all. Under this virtuous circle, the morale of the rebel army, the enthusiasm for fighting, the desire to perform, and the attitude towards training all increased.

During the truce, Jin Zhan began to run other small workshops through Vero's group of Shenhuo agents. Since the raw materials in their hands are very limited, there is no possibility for them to carry out certain technological improvements.

Now, in addition to continuing to purify the alcohol for use in the manufacture of incendiary bottles, another major goal of the workshop is to provide more convenient food and grass for the entire rebel army.

The rebels now have a large number of cavalry units, so their mobility is not the same as before. This mobility is an absolute core advantage in warfare.

You must know that in that era when there was no navigation and positioning, your troops were more mobile than other troops, so they could attack, retreat, and defend, and be completely in the active position.

So how to prepare the corresponding logistics supply for this highly mobile force? The answer is imminent, that is, to continuously reduce the quantity and weight of grain and grass and increase the energy density of grain.

Food processing in this era was very limited, and there were basically few tools to make food with a very high energy density per unit weight. But in fact, as long as the water in the food is removed, the weight of the food can be greatly reduced, and it is also very convenient for food storage.

Therefore, under the leadership of Jin Zhan, the Shenhuo Special Agent Team instantly transformed into a food processing commando. Together with the logistics management troops under the jurisdiction of Omenas, a large part of the fruits, vegetables, fish, poultry and lean meat in the one-pound granary were separated for dehydration treatment such as sun-drying and air-drying.

Even the staple food of rice noodles, Jin Zhan requires them to cook them first, and then dehydrate and dry them to form a large number of instant noodles and instant rice noodles.

Under Jin Zhan's personal demonstration, these instant noodles can be eaten immediately after a simple soak in hot water. Add a little other dried meat and vegetables to cook together, and you can quickly form a nutritious and well-balanced dish.

Even if you don't have water, you can get enough nutrients and energy by dry chewing, but the taste is a little worse.

In terms of taste, Jin Zhan has also introduced smoking technology to process some meat and jerky, so that it adds a special smoky and grilled aroma.

This novel method of preparing food may become popular even in the Roman aristocratic circles, let alone these slave classes who have and do not have a meal.

In the preparation of vegetable and fruit products, a star product was born - potato chips. Sweet potatoes, potatoes, yams and other crops can be sliced and fried to make crispy and delicious potato chips.

This food can be used at any time after drying and does not need to be processed in any way. And as long as it is sealed without moisture, it can maintain a crispy texture all the time. This almost completely refreshed the food concept of the entire army of the rebel army, and some of the freshly cooked potato chips were snatched up.

By this time, the Shenhuo Agents had almost completely transformed into a potato chip factory. Other troops flattered the staff at the chip factory. Whoever is lucky enough to know some of them can enjoy great prestige and treatment among the crowd. After all, everyone wants to be able to buy a bag of potato chips to enjoy after training.

In addition, potato chips, which are originally very fragrant foods, and the addition of various seasonings will produce a variety of effects.

After receiving a certain proportion of these basic foods, the rebel army has a strong mobile combat capability. After all, their current strength is still very fragile, and if they don't move constantly to change their position, they are likely to be vulnerable to the key sniping of the Roma army. If it is surrounded, it will be very dangerous.
