In the face of this motley attack, the pressure on the side of the Roman army was felt from top to bottom. Especially the fact that so many burly strong men had become the uneven staffing now, which obviously made them feel that their combat effectiveness had dropped by more than one level.

Although they had all kinds of doubts in their hearts, they were all happy to see it happen, and secretly scolded their opponents for being fools.

The slaves and pre-gladiators who had joined the rebel army were also puzzled by the strange formation of Spartacus. There was a lot of confusion in my heart, couldn't the impact of myself and others be compared to this juggling offensive method?

But it didn't take long for the doubts on both sides to disappear in an instant. Because of that strange formation, the combat effectiveness is unbelievably strong.

First of all, as the rebel side rushed forward in a strange formation, the heavy shields of both sides collided together.

Since the heavy shieldmen in the front row of the rebels were generally not served by tall and strong gladiators, there was no obvious advantage in the hedge against the Roma soldiers.

On the contrary, the relatively well-trained heavy shieldmen on the side of the Roma soldiers showed strong coordination ability, and the front row of stable formation remained still.

As the momentum of the rebels' side weakened, the heavy shield hands of the Roma army spread out like fish scales, revealing the sword weapons inside to attack.

However, the scene of slashing the enemy's body did not happen at all. The swords and spearheads that came through the gaps in the shields were blocked or disarmed by the strange shields in the hands of the soldiers in the second row.

As they got closer, the Roma soldiers clearly saw that the soldiers in the second row were holding a shield of a special material. Judging by its combat performance, this shield is very lightweight. The warrior holds it in his hand and can swing it at will. It wasn't as heavy as the heavy shield in front of it, and it was hard to move.

As a result, those assault attacks are easily blocked by these special shields. Even if there were fish that slipped through the net, they were blocked by their other hand-armed weapon.

And the real headaches for them are just beginning. The 3rd platoon in the strange formation on the rebel side began to exert force.

If you look closely, the fighters in the third row are all the tallest gladiators with the best reach.

The twig-like weapons in their hands are actually straight trunks with leaves removed. The forked heads of the branches are artificially sharpened and wrapped with iron spikes as much as possible.

Its actual effect is like a mace with an infinitely magnified tip.

Although this weapon may look comical, when used by tall and long-armed gladiators, it has an unexpected effect.

Since the defense of the Roman army really relied mainly on the square heavy shields of the soldiers in the first row. And the rebels' side of the big mace and the like can be held high. As the gladiator wielded, sharpened branches and bound spikes could bypass the heavy square shield and sweep past the soldiers behind the shield.

Although the actual lethality is not outstanding, due to the extremely large range of attacks, this kind of thing still causes a lot of interference and deterrence to the heavy shield hands and sword hands hiding behind the shields. Especially if you are not careful, if you are scratched on the eyes or face, it will seriously affect the subsequent combat effectiveness.

Therefore, as the wolf warriors of the third row of gladiators danced in full swing, the strict and neat formation of the Roma soldiers suddenly became messy and commotionous.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the spearmen on the rebel side's side firmly grasped the opportunity of the scattered formation in the front row of the opponent, and a merciless piercing attack pierced the swordsmen and pikemen behind the enemy's shields.

And the soldiers in the second row of the rebel army with rattan cards and short knives in their hands did not forget to sneak attack the joints of the hands and feet of the opponent's heavy shield hand through the gap between the middle and bottom of the opponent's shield at the time of the opponent's riot. This also exacerbated the collapse of the opponent's defensive line and formation to a certain extent.

On the side of the Roman army, where did he think that the enemy's comical juggling formation was so strong. Unprepared, the defensive formation has been defeated one after another, and many sections have been interrupted in the middle.

Unable to form a dense defensive formation, the Roman phalanx instantly lost its original power, and the messy soldiers began to fight on their own. Once they lose their reasonable rhythm and effective coordination, it will be unreasonable for them to cause any damage to the tight formation of the rebel army.

All that awaited them was the tip of a black hole and a snow-white sword. And the weapons they stabbed at random were intercepted by the heavy shield or blocked by the rattan cards and short knives behind the heavy shield.

And if they want to hide behind their shields and only defend and not attack, it is simply impossible. Because the terrifying giant mace will harass them all the time. As long as they dare to open their eyes, they must face the fear of this sharpened iron thorn.

The generals of the Roman army looked at the collapsed front formation, and in a panic, they had to pretend to be calm, and hurriedly arranged for the reserve troops to come forward to fill the position, in an attempt to stabilize their own position, so that the entire army formation would not be completely defeated. At the same time, more mobile units were sent to try to make an attempt to attack the enemy's flank.

Unexpectedly, the soldiers holding a few forks in the last row of the rebel army played their role at this time. The huge wooden fork easily caught the weapons that were sneaking up on the side and rear from a distance.

As soon as they were mixed up like this, these weapons were entangled together, and it was difficult to hurt the side of the rebel formation in a short period of time. At the same time, the vertical queue of the rebel army seemed to have been prepared, and the change of formation was completed in an instant. The large mace turned at a 90-degree angle, and suddenly patronized the enemy attacking from the flank.

How could they resist such a horrible thing without a heavy shield? Especially when you see such spikes in your face, you will have an instinctive fear. They didn't dare to step forward to fight for their lives, and their hesitation became the target of the black spear in the back row.

Therefore, the idea of breaking through from the flanks could not be realized at all, and in turn it took a lot of living forces. In less than a quarter of an hour after the two armies battled each other, the rebels had already captured a large number of Roman soldiers.

No matter how good the background of Roma's army is, it can't withstand this level of combat attrition. Their morale, physical condition, and will to fight are at an absolute disadvantage. This, combined with a complete rout on the frontal battlefield, made it difficult for the Roma army to hold back any decent resistance.

As the rebels further compressed their formation, the Roman army finally found it difficult to maintain its formation, and lost its armor and fled.

At this time, Spartacus waved the flag. The new members of the rebel army, who were still waiting and watching. He also suddenly came to his senses, and with the momentum of the formation in front of the rebel army, he rushed towards the scattered enemy.

After this onslaught, the Roma army had no way to retreat effectively. And in the narrow alleys, some of their original cavalry units fell off their horses without being able to play a role at all.

What made the retreating Roma's army even more devastating was the large number of men and horses pouring in from the other direction in the narrow alleys.

Although none of these people were the rebels of Spartacus, but the city defense troops urgently mobilized by the owner of the port of Napolus and the administrator of the city of Napolus. They didn't seem to know the strength of the rebel army in front of them, and rushed towards the rebel army with a shout.

Several streets and alleys were densely packed with Capua city defense troops, whose personnel were of mixed quality, including many newly recruited people. There was no discipline at all in this kind of troops, and such a blockade into the streets caused all the retreat routes of the Roman army to be blocked by friendly forces.

In the face of the Roma soldiers who fled in a panic, the city defense force composed of those people was a little overwhelmed. Many of them had joined the city defense of Napolus on a temporary basis. Now it is also because of a bloody spirit of courage and the reason why the army of Rome is fighting on the front line that he dares to attack the rebel army.

But now it seems that the most powerful Varilius force in Napoles has also been routed like this in a short time. How much courage do they have to provoke the rebels in front of them?

Therefore, when the city defense troops who were walking in front saw the Rama soldiers retreating in a panic, they also stopped their horses and turned around to get out of this place of right and wrong as soon as possible.

But the troops behind them did not have time to notice the defeat of the Roman army. Therefore, under the constant urging of the leader of the strong man's guard, he quickly moved forward.

In this way, between advancing and retreating, a large group of people collided in the crowded streets and alleys, huddled together. Even in a short period of time, they couldn't tell what was happening in front of them, and they couldn't tell the relationship between friend and foe.

The mere staggering of weapons in the chaos caused a lot of accidental damage to one's companions or allies. At the same time, with the continuous squeezing of personnel from both sides of the team, there was a situation where the local density was intensifying.

As a result, it is difficult for people in the middle of dense areas to even breathe. Once you don't get a firm foothold, you will be trampled into a pulp by the people who come one after another.

The roof leak happened to rain overnight, and the Roman soldiers and the Napolus city defense troops who were twisted in a group gradually began to stabilize their positions, but then they had to face the rebels chasing behind them.

Spartacus led the rebel army to reorganize the formation of the queue, and continued to form different columns in the strange formation just now, approaching forward in an orderly manner.

The Rama soldiers, who had just felt the power of this strange formation, had an uncontrollable fear in their eyes. Now that the weapons are all falling to the ground, and without the shield to cover them, how can they stop this terrifying weapon of mass destruction?
