Although the previous plan to attack Capua City by sea voyage was not implemented, it also made Graeber shoot in vain, allowing him to return with a large group of men like headless flies in vain. This objectively reduced the morale and economic strength of Graeber's army once again.

And the time that Graeber's army came and went gave the rebel army a lot of opportunities to grow and develop. Taking advantage of this gap, the rebels no longer had the need to cover up their whereabouts and sneak their movements. The whole army struck and swept through the manors and small town fairs in the middle of Capua to Napolus with great force.

Those weak guards, where are the opponents of this nascent rebel army. They were all shattered in one fell swoop. These nobles or slave owners had already fled. It is impossible to produce any of the courage of the Xiangyu rebel army in the first battle.

The rebel army relied on its powerful and unquestionable military crushing ability, and at the same time accompanied by highly incendiary political slogans. In several battles, Spartacus's influence was constantly extended, causing the surrounding slave owners to flee as far away as possible from this new terror force.

At the same time, it also made many poor people of the slave class want to contribute their own strength to this beautiful cause. However, in just one week, the rebels completely built their reputation, and the top leaders of the entire Roman Republic were once again amazed and moved.

Graeber was once again the object of the Senate of the Roman Republic. Many dignitaries accused Graeber of ineffective handling, which allowed the rebel army to grow and rise like wildfire in the areas of Capua and Napolus.

It has become a big scourge now. He also severely reprimanded Graeber for his obscene behavior of mobilizing several times but not fighting the rebels head-on at all. He was then given an ultimatum that he had to find the main force of the rebel army and destroy him within two weeks.

Otherwise, Graeber will be transferred out of the peaceful land of Capua, and go to the Savage Continent to expand his territory in the uncertain future.

All kinds of unfavorable news made Graeber thunderous but helpless, now he is sitting on pins and needles, walking on thin ice, he can no longer be so cautious and cautious conservative forces, and he must fight the rebels in one go. Otherwise, it would be even more dangerous if they were to be transferred to fight elsewhere.

In fact, the Senate also ignored one person, Varilius. This guy has done an excellent job of whitewashing both of his defeats. In addition, the strength of his family should not be underestimated, and he was also quite influential in the Senate of the Roman Republic, so he did not receive too many punishments, but still sat firmly in his position as a warlord in the Napolus area.

In the midst of the rebellious laughter and laughter of the rebels, they also ushered in a major news. Graeber's army was now out of the city and was moving rapidly in the direction where they were now stationed.

At this time, after a week's sorting activities, the scale of personnel has undergone earth-shaking changes. The main thing was to count and reorganize the Roman slaves who had joined the rebels.

A simple number can surprise people. Within a week, the number of rebels had swelled by 3,000 again, and the total number of personnel had reached more than 7,000.

But the number of combatants has also reached about 5,000, and it is obviously impossible for such a huge force to hide in the mountains and forests.

They had to camp in a few newly breached slave owners' estates, so they had no way to avoid the head-on challenge from Graeber's army.

However, compared with more than 1,000 people before, it has now increased nearly 6 times. Graeber's army of 30,000 did not have any reinforcements, and the rebel army was not completely without the strength to fight.

More importantly, the Roma army now has a sense of fear of the rebels. After all, whether it was the rebels' uncanny and efficient ability to act, and their military operations in the surprise attack on Napolus, the defeat of the army of Varilius, and the rapid breakthrough of the nearest small manor city, etc., all illustrate the strong combat effectiveness of the rebel army.

Graeber's army itself was tired and complained about their futile actions. This time, the whole army will be dispatched to face the imaginary very terrible opponent head-on, and there is still some resistance. Naturally, the morale of the whole army will be greatly discounted.

But on the other hand, the rebel army is in the upward period of vigorous development, and has a great motivation to challenge the traditional forces. Whether it's for hatred, for dignity or for ideals. This rebel army has never lacked the reason and determination to fight.

On a clear and sunny morning, the rebels were in good shape in a vast clearing. In the distance, the army of Roma could be faintly seen.

For Graeber's Roma troops, Jin Zhan had to express a little admiration. Because during the whole march, this unit has always behaved in an orderly and step-by-step manner, and there has not been any rash behavior of rushing for quick success.

Every night, the camp was deployed and defended completely and effectively, and did not give the rebels any chance to sneak attack. And in the process of marching, Graeber's army also ensured that the troops had sufficient rest.

If you want to take advantage of its fatigue to attack its unpreparedness, there is no condition at all. In general, there was a sharp contrast to the previous army of Varilius, and the rebels' strategic phalanx and operational deployment for a surprising victory were all lost.

The most desperate method was adopted, and the army was launched to confront Graeber's army head-on.

Graeber, out of great importance to the rebels, personally commanded the first battle, and at the same time brought all their main fighting forces to the front. Nearly 20,000 troops spread out on the wilderness, and it has to be said that it is a magnificent picture.

The main battle corps in the middle of the Roman army was the Roman infantry phalanx, which they were proud of. This classic formation defeated the once invincible Macedonian phalanx, making a generation of genius Hannibal also hate the field, which shows how powerful the actual battle is. On the flanks of the war, a number of cavalry units were arranged for mobile escort.

On the surface, this is definitely an iron army with a strict formation, complete armaments, and a fairly reasonable strategic deployment. The heavy shields and the rain of iron and spears, as well as the considerable number of cavalry troops on either side, all of this put a great deal of pressure on the rebels' side.

Although the rebels had been somewhat arrogant after a previous battle with the army of Varilius. However, at this time, under the pressure of the opponent's sufficient numerical superiority, he still felt an obvious lack of confidence.

Fortunately, the mandarin duck battle formation, which has relatively low requirements for personal ability and a high fault tolerance rate, can greatly reduce the decline in combat effectiveness caused by psychological factors.

Therefore, the rebel army did not show any obvious signs of panic. In the eyes of Graeber's army, which was slowly driving on the opposite side, it also became an outward manifestation of the rebel army's strong combat effectiveness and battlefield confidence.

But the next scene made most of the soldiers of the two armies stunned.

The rebel army did not carry out any formal pre-war mobilization and formation deployment at all. The cavalry units seemed to have been launched suddenly in a way that acted on its own. The ground forces, which were supposed to work closely with them, did not seem to have any intention of acting and were far behind.

Kress led the more than 500 cavalry of the rebel army in the field and began to gallop and gradually accelerated, and the sound of horses' hooves sounded the prelude to this large-scale battle like a dense drum beat.

For this sudden charge that was indomitable and left no way back, the Roman army felt incredulous. After all, the battle they experienced at that time did not follow this routine at all.
