Volume 3 Spartacus Chapter 135 Born to Die

How could such a strange action be performed by humans? All the Roma soldiers who saw this scene up close were horrified. The heavy shield in his hand also fell to the ground in an instant, and it was difficult to take a step.

And the enemies who came from both sides also felt a trace of trance, what is going on?

A moment ago, the opponent was desperately sprinting at high speed to approach, how could he find that he had narrowed the distance again.

But no matter what, the order to besiege the superiors has been issued, and they have no room for hesitation.

But just as the encirclement was about to be completed, Jin Zhan broke through from that narrow gap at miraculous speed.

One of the closest soldiers to him had only time to slash at his afterimage.

Seeing this scene, Graeber instantly became furious and hurriedly commanded his army to recover it at all costs.

Therefore, the ground environment, which was originally quite unfavorable for the cavalry, was also ignored by them, and the cavalry troops in the front row of Rome also joined the pursuit of Jin Zhan.

Of course, this was also in Jin Zhan's plan, but he significantly reduced his speed at this time, and unhurriedly maintained a position gap with the pursuing Roman soldiers behind him.

Give the enemy in the rear a feeling that he is exhausted and that he may be caught up and killed at any time.

For Jin Zhan's staggering performance, the Roman soldiers were relieved at this time, thinking that this terrifying enemy would also bring him a lot of rewards.

So these soldiers scrambled to chase Jin Zhan, even if the ground under their feet was rugged, even if there might be an iron thistle that could hurt the surface of their feet.

And the cavalry troops on both sides began to charge with great speed and full force, and they were bound to intercept and kill Jin Zhan before he could rush back to the rebels.

In the course of a massive pursuit of this magnitude, the archers of the Roman army were completely useless. Because their own troops are chasing after them, their extensive rain of arrows will only hurt themselves.

As a result, the rain of arrows covering attack, which was actually the most threatening of Jin Zhan, was completely shelved, and the effect of his reverse charge this time was very impressive.

But if he hadn't broken through his body at that last moment, he still wouldn't have been able to break through the enemy's rapid encirclement. The consequences can be just as tragic.

And now, after the full breakthrough of the body's motor nerves, the speed increase can come and go freely in the enemy's arrow rain.

Because that momentary acceleration was too powerful.

It's a pity that the newly broken body part is far from growing to the extent of his right hand. Otherwise, in this kind of terrifying battlefield, he can come and go whenever he wants.

However, this time, the somewhat impulsive action also consumed his huge physical strength, and almost every inch of energy in his body was burned out by the battle when his body broke through just now.

Fortunately, the troops of their own rebel army at the front have rushed up in an all-round way.

At the same time, Jin Zhan also noticed that the position where Kress was just now had already arrived by the soldiers of the rebel army, so it seemed that Kress still had a chance to be saved, and he only hoped that the position of his arrow could avoid the vital point of his body.

The rebel army naturally also saw Jin Zhan's mortal performance in his eyes. The morale that had been hit by the events of Nivea and Kress was now rekindled to the extreme.

There was one man in his own army who could ignore thousands of Rama troops. Kill the enemy's generals, and you can also calmly break through the enemy's encirclement and leave reflexively.

The motivating effect on all of them has far exceeded any degree of combat mobilization and material rewards, and it has risen almost to the point of influencing their fighting beliefs.

Jin Zhan's performance of opening the Peerless Mode has penetrated deep into their souls, arousing the battle intent in the depths of their souls, and they are bound to destroy the enemy in front of them together with the god of war Jin Zhan.

At this time, the mentality of the soldiers on both sides of the battlefield has been dramatically reversed because of today's rescue operation.

Even Graeber, the commander of Roma's army, sensed that the situation was already very unfavorable for his side. Not only did the previous strategic purpose not be achieved at all, but his side was also very embarrassed to watch the other party kill one of the generals on his side.

As for whether this battle should continue, he began to mumble in his heart.

However, judging from the ratio of personnel on the battlefield, there is no doubt that the side of the Roman army still has an absolute advantage. On the rebel side, in terms of the number of combatants, there were only about 5,000 people.

No matter how elite he is, no matter how good he can fight, he can't compare with the tens of thousands of troops on his side.

In addition, before the war, he received news from Crassus, a prominent magnate in Rome, and he himself had already led troops to participate in the encirclement and suppression of the rebels. This made Graeber and Azul very happy.

Today, among the more than 40,000 people, there are naturally Crassus's troops. Although Graeber was not optimistic about the troops commanded by the most famous tycoon of the Roman Republic. But this did not prevent him from being very happy that the other party had entered the war.

Now there is no reason to escape strategically, and in the worst-case scenario, you can completely let the old Septus troops in your army and the newly joined Crassus troops come to the palace, and you can still retreat safely.

However, due to some negative thoughts about this battle, Graeber also decisively began to transfer troops after the failure of the pursuit of Jin Zhan.

The troops that were originally in the front row were mainly his own elite troops and veterans of the Septus Surrender Department.

Now he gradually withdrew his elite troops, leaving more of the old Septus and Crassus' allies in the front row.

For these troop deployments, even if the generals of the other two units have any complaints in their hearts, they can't raise them at this time, after all, Graeber is still the absolute commander on this battlefield.

In particular, the forces of Septus were already dependent on Graeber's protection, so how could they disobey his decision in battle? As for the soldiers at the bottom, they have no right to resist, and even they don't know the specific deployment from above.

However, when Graeber engaged the Septius forces as the front row against the rebels, their disadvantage was also vividly displayed.

Because many of the people in this surrendered army had experienced the previous frontal battle, they still remembered the terrifying war cooperation of the rebel army and the devastating cavalry offensive.

It may be okay to let them fish in troubled waters in the army, but it is obviously a bit difficult for them to charge into battle as a front-row force again.

Graeber did not pay enough attention to the reason that he had not actually fought head-to-head with the rebels.

And the troops on Crassus's side only heard of the rebels by name, and did not see anything about them.

When the two armies began to come into direct contact, the situation was predictably one-sided.

On the rebel side, everyone was brave and inspired. Although they do not maintain such a rigorous battle formation, because the Mandarin Duck battle formation changes a lot, it can be tightened, tightened, and stretched, so in this rather chaotic frontal contact battle, they can still rely on the flexible and changeable combination of troops to cause as much damage output as possible to the enemy.

Especially the wolf whisk that was waving like covering the sky for half a day, it made the old department of Septus, who had suffered a big loss, miserable and frightened.

After a few rounds of head-to-head fighting, the morale of the Roma army was gone.

The old department of Septius had been hoping for the protection of this Graeber army, but at this time, he found that he was still taking on such a thankless task as taking the lead, how could he be willing to sacrifice his life?

So these veteran soldiers only defended but did not attack, and retreated in the defensive circle formed by several heavy shields. The recruits were even more at a loss for what to do, and could only rally around the veterans and barely keep them from breaking up.

But how can the storm on the rebel side, how can they be safe? This is often the case on the battlefield, the more you shrink, the more you dare not fight, and the more you are afraid of death, the more you will suffer from annihilation.

The more courageous you are, the more you will put life and death out of the way and fight bravely, and the more likely you are to protect yourself. After all, offense is the best defense, and blindly being beaten passively will only make the entire front overstretched and slowly become full of holes.

The cavalry units on the rebel side, due to the orders of Spartacus at the beginning, did not enter this battlefield with complex terrain at the first time.

Instead, they made a detour, flanking the huge flanks of the Roman army. Having seen the terrifying iron hooves, the Roman cavalry did not dare to meet the sharpness of the opponent.

Seeing the terrifying old adversary approaching from afar. The cavalry generals of the old division of Septus chose to remain silent. Even though Graeber urged them to do so, they refused to act.

So what to do? How crucial is the defense of the flanks, how can you get the opposing cavalry to get up? Graeber had no choice but to put the cavalry units in his army into battle and hedge in the direction of the enemy's rush.

Originally, the cavalry units in the Grebo army who had felt the baptism of this torrent of steel had actually died. The rest of the riders still had a little luck in their hearts, hoping that their side could defeat a strong opponent with an absolute advantage in numbers.

But this idea is undoubtedly very naïve and ridiculous. Because the most important thing in the cavalry impact is the indomitable momentum, once it falls behind in the frontal impact, how easy is it to turn the tables again?

Superiority in the number of cavalry was not at all the key to the battle. Once you lose the first opportunity, you will only be constantly snowballing, constantly compressing the formation, so that your side can no longer form an effective impact formation. If you want to fight sporadically like infantry, you are obviously no match for the other side.
