The Roman political circles before this war were still quite defensive for the rich man Crassus. There are obviously some obstacles to his desire to recruit private armies on a large scale.

Today, the roads are clear. As long as he said that he was willing to raise an army out of his own pocket to quell the rebellion of Spartacus. Not only will the decree be unimpeded, but it will also receive help from all sides.

In the process of counterinsurgency, he can arbitrarily expand the establishment of the army, and slowly transform the wealth he has operated for many years into a terrifying fighting force.

Today, the Republic of Rome is, in a sense, in a state of vacuum in combat effectiveness. Almost all of the strongest soldiers in the country were recruited by Pompey for the Western Expedition.

At this time, if he Crassus takes advantage of this opportunity to rise, he will be almost unstoppable in the Republic. As long as he defeated the Spartacus rebels, he himself seemed to be only one step away from the throne of power.

In the process of recruiting soldiers, his extensive network of contacts for many years also played a huge role, and his golden sign as the richest man attracted a large number of armed forces in the surrounding area, causing his army to be overcrowded and bloated for a while.

As a successful businessman, how could he not know the truth that bad money drives out good money. If such a mixed force is allowed to develop, it will seriously affect its actual combat effectiveness.

So he came up with the same strategy as before, pretending to put his eighteen thousand troops in Graeber's hands. On the one hand, you can observe the reality of Qianfang, and on the other hand, you can dispose of a group of old fritters in your army who eat empty salaries and mixed rice in disguise.

It can be regarded as a reassuring pill for Graeber, which is simply a wonderful thing to kill.

Now he has naturally set up a high platform, ready to watch the final decisive battle between the rebel army and Graeber's army across the river.

For this formidable opponent on the other side, he also needs this actual combat observation to sum up experience. At the same time, he also hoped to stimulate the maximum fighting will of Graeber's army, so that the rebel army could be greatly weakened.

In the end, he can make a perfect harvest.

Compared with the previous rout, the Roman army, which has no way out, has shown a lot of improved determination to fight. Especially when Graeber knew that he had no way out, he put all the knowledge he had learned in his life into this final battle.

Before the battle, he personally commanded, and even drew the sword at his waist, ready to go into battle to kill the enemy himself.

It was also a morale boost for the Roma army.

The insurgents suddenly encountered resistance in the course of their pursuit, and the movement of the entire force came to a standstill.

Seeing that the opponent was slowly forming a defensive formation again, the cavalry troops on the rebel side could no longer carry out wanton harvesting.

By this time of the battle, most of the dead and wounded of the old Cypsius had already fled in all directions. And the troops on Crassus's side, which were already of extremely poor quality, fled without a trace in the first place.

In the center of the field is naturally dominated by Graeber's elite troops. After all, they have followed Graeber to fight for many years, and almost all of their neighboring relatives are in the army, so now, naturally there is only one last way to resist.

They still number in the thousands. But the most tragic thing is that their most important heavy shield, most of which has been discarded in the process of escaping.

At this time, the defensive formation formed was only a virtual appearance, and without a large number of heavy shields, there was no key core in the true sense.

Even many soldiers have abandoned all the weapons in their hands. Therefore, this final counterattack is like a toothless tiger.

A ferocious counterattack won't do much damage. Coupled with the exhaustion after being chased, most of them exhausted their physical strength, and the physical energy that they could exert in barely fighting was very limited after all.

After holding out for half an hour, the Roma army, which was fighting on its back, still suffered a large number of casualties.

On the rebel side, the mentality is much more relaxed, and almost everyone is intoxicated with the joy of victory, which also forms a positive feedback on their combat effectiveness. So that the more they fight, the more comfortable they are.

It's just that many people's weapons have been curled due to the long harvest. In the process of pursuit, they also picked up a lot of new weapons, but many of them are close to being scrapped by now.

You can see how tragic this battle is.

When Jin Zhan saw that his opponent was actually fighting against the river and had no way to escape, he had a hint of foreboding in his heart. Because this situation is so strange, why did the army not leave enough way for itself when it was dispatched?

There must be a third party force making trouble in it. So if you look at it this way, the third party's plan is definitely not small.

I wanted to stop and withdraw my troops and return to the camp, but I couldn't stand the period and fighting spirit of the entire rebel army. It was rare that Jin Zhan's proposal to retreat was vetoed by other generals.

Especially the cavalry troops, which were mainly Gaolu people, the bloodthirsty enthusiasm in their eyes told Jin Zhan that he would not stop if he did not see Graeber's corpse at this time.

No way, this battle is actually a bit beyond the usual combat confrontation. The incident of Yukris and Nevia served as the fuse, and the huge hatred and contradictions caused by it have far exceeded the attributes of the battle itself.

Graeber: This time the troops are no longer as simple as the enemy. In the minds of most of the rebel soldiers, this is an enemy army.

As the soldiers in the front row continued to retreat, the last bit of will that Graeber had condensed began to gradually disintegrate, and the opponent had no intention of calming down.

If you continue to fight, your side will inevitably end up with the death of the whole army. Graeber could only look up to the sky and sigh at the thought of this, and had no choice but to risk riding the horse's skin into the cold water.

When he leaves, how can other soldiers still have the heart to fight? They followed his example and stepped into the icy waters. And how can they, who are generally clothed in armor, escape in the rushing river?

So their lives were completely left to nature.

Just when they were desperate, they suddenly found that huge overturned boats had inexplicably appeared in the river, and these white sails that covered the sky and the sun were constantly heading towards the battlefield.

In despair, the Roma soldiers were extremely relieved to see the Roma flag on the warship, and struggled desperately in the water, hoping that the water source on the ship could save them.

However, the truth was so cold and pale, they could clearly see the ruthlessness and indifference in the eyes of the sailors on board. The huge hull ran over their bodies overboard, and there was no stop.

When the last of the soldiers of the various Polish armies fell, the rebels also had a clear view of the situation on the other side of the river. Seeing the white-sailed battleship that had been rolling in history, they also felt inexplicably nervous.

Beneath the rolling phantoms, a dense mass of Roma soldiers had begun to jump off the sailboat and land. The places they chose to land were basically on both sides of the rebel army's position, keeping a certain distance from the main force of the rebel army.

If the rebel army wanted to attack halfway, it would need to divide its forces in two directions. This was a bit unsustainable for the main forces of the rebel army, which were already exhausted.

Moreover, the final battle of Graeber's army had just given this unit plenty of time to land.

Now thousands of people have been assembled on either side of them. I'm afraid that by the time they arrive, the number of enemies will exceed 10,000.

Originally, this final battle, Jin Zhan wanted to avoid it as much as possible. This gave the rebels a chance to retreat safely, but now what he feared most had happened after all.

The flag raised high on the galleon was exactly the same as the strange flag in Graeber's army just now.

No matter what kind of troops it is, it can actually put together such a huge fleet at once, I am afraid that its economic strength and military strength should not be underestimated.

In any case, the battlefield must be withdrawn now. It's just that the troops on both sides who are concluding the certificate, will they give them this time?

The cavalry troops will naturally be able to retreat safely, but a large number of ground troops will inevitably be encircled.

In any case, this opponent is too vicious and terrifying, even a little more vicious than the people of Asur Graeber.

With such a large fleet, he didn't save his allies and trapped them in front of the river.

At the same time, taking advantage of the last delay, he successfully landed himself, and once again consumed the combat power of the rebel army.

It seems that this person has been planning for this battle for a long time, and this battle is unprepared on his side, while the other party has been planning and strategizing for a long time, so naturally all aspects are unequal battles.

After experiencing so many battles large and small, Jin Zhan actually felt a deep powerlessness for the first time. Under the command of Jin Zhan, the rebel army quickly assembled into a relatively dense formation, covering each other and slowly retreating.

But the Roman army that had already landed was pressing forward step by step. And the number of this army is constantly rising, and a large number of knights with horse mounts have disembarked from the ships.

The most terrifying thing is that the fighting appearance of this army is very amazing.

After all, the rebel army and the Roman army have already fought several battles, and the combat effectiveness that the other side can exert can be seen from the appearance of the army alone.

For example, Varilius's troops were very scattered and disorderly, while Septus's troops were relatively better, and there were many irregularities in military appearance.

Graeber's troops are actually very good, and they can be regarded as well-trained and well-coordinated. Compared with the force in front of you, this is completely incomparable.

Jin Zhan, who was watching from afar on the high platform of the command car, took another breath of cool air.
