At this time, the speed of the horse has been raised to a very high level, so as long as the knight on horseback gently takes the weapon with him, he can exert a huge kinetic energy and cause huge damage to the opponent in an instant.

Therefore, the more than 200 knights who rushed into the camp were simply invincible and unstoppable. In a few breaths, they have penetrated into the core area of the camp, and they are getting closer and closer to the storage place of grain and grass and other materials.

The knights marching along the road at high speed did not forget to scatter the firewood from the campfires with their long weapons. A lot of charcoal and scraps of charcoal that were burning with pay flew over the tents everywhere.

The humidity in the dry woods was very low, and the tent was quickly ignited by these small flames, and then the wind helped the fire, and the fire spread rapidly with the help of the wind.

Originally, some soldiers who had no time to prepare could hide in the camp tent for a while, but they did not expect that as the cavalry marched all the way, the camp where they themselves were hiding from Ansheng was also quickly burned by the fire.

Under the thick smoke, the Roma soldiers scattered and fled, but after escaping the flames, how could they escape the constant harvest of the rebel knights.

Soon the rebel knights were already on the march to the place where the supplies were stored. This critical area is not as unhindered as elsewhere. Even in the middle of the night, there are still a lot of Roman soldiers guarding supplies.

It was not that they were used to defend against enemy attacks, but that the food and grass in the army were so important that even if they were to guard against their own people, they had to be properly arranged. Otherwise, even if the materials are misfired due to natural and man-made disasters, it will cause huge disturbances and incalculable consequences to this army.

Faced with this situation, the rebels, of course, were well prepared. The knights, who had been scattered along the various roads, marching and constantly setting fire to destruction, had gradually gathered at this time.

The horses come close together, forming a distinct sharp formation. Kress himself was the absolute arrow of this arrow, and he rushed to the front of the crowd, waving his lance in his hand to the wind, constantly picking up the Roma soldiers in front of him.

The horses that sat down seemed to be infected by the rider's high-spirited fighting spirit at this time, and spread their hooves and ran happily. Constantly trampling enemies who fall to the ground under their feet to pieces. The other gladiators who followed behind Kress also scrambled to do nothing, turning the rest of the guards on their backs.

However, Cress, who was on the rise of killing, raised his arms high at this time. Under the instructions of his action, the knights who were killing the enemy everywhere gradually gathered their formation. Reduced the excessive entanglement with the Roma army, leaned over and picked up the wooden sticks with fire from the campfires and took them in his hands. Following behind Cress, he slammed into the grain and grass storage area.

Although the cavalry units of the rebel army had been turned upside down in the camp of the Roman army, the other half of the camp was still in a state of reflex. When the guards of the material storage camp were swept away like a wind and clouds, the defense force on this side was suddenly in a state of vacuum.

Kress made a shout to make all the staff respond, and they threw all kinds of igniting objects in their hands to the location where the materials were stored. In a short time, a raging flame rose from this position.

These grains, baggage, horses' fodder, and other substances are extremely flammable when ignited by fire. Under the night breeze, the fire is even more monstrous.

Under the light of this sudden fire, everyone in the Roma army had already woken up and realized that something was wrong.

The 10,000-strong army needed so much material to move was that a random pile of them in the middle camp was like a hill. Now that it has been set on fire by the knights of the rebel army, this small mountain bag has been covered with a layer of fiery red, which looks particularly eye-catching from a distance.

The red glow of the fire was shocking, coupled with the crackling and crackling sound of burning. This situation completely dispelled the sleepiness of everyone in the camp. They were in a mess, and they didn't know what to do, so they hurriedly took up their weapons and armor, and tried to stop the enemy, but it was too late.

Varilius was also fully dressed at this time, and walked out of the camp with several henchmen and adjutants, and his heart was almost half cold when he saw the scene in front of him.

That's the food and grass for more than 10,000 troops, the fodder for more than 1,000 horses, and the living goods they have set up camp. Under this raging fire, I am afraid that all of the above things will be destroyed in the flames.

Without waiting for his order, the soldiers near the camp tent of the Chinese army had already spontaneously organized a fire extinguishing operation. However, this place is far away from a large range of water sources in the middle of the mountain road, and at this time, apart from a little drinking water for the soldiers, where can a large amount of water be found in the camp to extinguish the fire?

But this is all their food and daily necessities. Despite the difficulties, the soldiers continued to use various methods to try to extinguish the fire. Almost all of the drinking water for the nearby soldiers has been concentrated, but it is still a drop in the bucket.

Later, under the personal leadership of Varilius, they came up with a way to extinguish the fire with dust. Since the mountains were full of usable soil, pots of dust were piled up around the burning piles of grain and grass after all the people were mobilized. Obviously, this method works much faster than with a small amount of water.

But even so, by the time they had completely extinguished the fire, the whole camp was in shambles, and there was no place to find intact.

At this time, Varilius's attention turned to the enemy who was attacking him, and he couldn't help but curse: "What about you rice buckets, sentries and guards, what's the situation? How could it not be possible to detect such a large-scale cavalry raid by the enemy at all? Where are these thieves now? ”

The instructors gathered around Varilius were also staring at each other, unable to answer these questions at all. A general in charge of guarding the guard post of the large battalion replied tremblingly.

"The cavalry of the generals and thieves has already run along the mountain road while we are extinguishing the fire... They move very fast. Even if our sentries find out, they won't have time to report back to the whole army. ”

Although Varilius was still swearing, he was also aware of the laziness and wanton nature that prevailed in his camp. After all, no one could have imagined that someone would dare to attack them in such a situation. And it is also a rather elite looking cavalry unit.

Puzzled, Varilius asked again, "What kind of troops is this?" Could it be a local bandit? ”

The staff officer of Varilius immediately shook his head and replied, "Impossible. General, this area is very poor, where can we afford such a powerful bandits, you must know that the cavalry force that just attacked our camp is probably two or three hundred people, and all of them are tall and strong, and they are like flying. ”

"It is absolutely impossible for bandits to have this kind of economic strength and combat effectiveness. I think this is the Spartacus rebel army we met before. ”

"Didn't they go north by boat and attack Capua? Why are you here to attack us again? Varilius asked, confused.

"This subordinate really doesn't know. In any case, the main objects of hatred of the rebels should be the nobles and defenders of Capua. I could never have imagined why they had found us...", explained the staff officer.

"You just said that they are only two or three hundred people. This is simply too deceitful! Such a few people would dare to attack my army of 15,000 men. How about we gather a cavalry force of 1,000 people and chase after them along the mountain road to suppress the bandits? When Varilius heard that there were few enemy troops, most of his fear dissipated and turned into deep anger.

"General, don't," several of his subordinates said in unison at this time, "According to my statistics, this sneak attack has caused almost 3/4 of the grain and grass lost by our army, and the rest of it has been scorched and unusable normally. And the fodder for the horses in our army was almost burned by the fire. ”

"Under such circumstances, I am afraid that our army will be starving in a near future. Horses can only forage and graze on their own in the wild. Now to tell the truth, our army should move as little as possible, otherwise it will only continue to accelerate the consumption of grain and grass. ”

Another general immediately agreed: "Yes, General, we have no way out now, we must return to Napolus City as soon as possible to replenish food and goods." Moreover, this kind of barren mountains and wilderness are not familiar to our army, and the terrain at the foot of the mountain is likely to be attacked by this group of hateful thieves again. ”

Varilius listened to these persuasions, and his heart froze again. He didn't expect that the current situation had reached such an embarrassing level. Not to mention that it is impossible to pursue these enemies now, the biggest problem now is how to safely withdraw from this mountain area and return to Napolus for supplies.

Fortunately, they weren't too far away from Nabolus, otherwise the losses from this raid would have brought their army to the brink of collapse.
