Jin Zhan was also shocked by the fierce battle and combat effectiveness of the rebel army in front of him. It is no wonder that in history, the originally poorly equipped and loosely organized rebel army was able to stir up such a big storm in the land of Roma.

Now, thanks to its own intervention, this unit has a clear political program, a strict and rational tactical formation, and a balanced ratio of services, so as to stabilize and improve the overall economic situation.

And further narrow the ideological gap. Therefore, even if the Roman army is in full swing, it is inevitable that it will be deflated at his hands at this time.

At the same time, Jin Zhan deeply felt the cruelty and horror of the battlefield. Fang Cai was still a bustling army in patches, and at this time, only the bones that were about to be buried in the grass were left.

In fact, although these Roman soldiers were accomplices in the hands of the rulers and the aristocratic class, they were actually at the bottom of this society. It was often when their income from agriculture was not enough to sustain their families that these civilians chose to join the relatively lucrative Roma army.

This army is full of soldiers with close relationships, who have lived together for many years and trained together, and have formed a solid comradeship together. This makes them not easily abandon their other companions and run away on their own, even if they suffer too much damage in battle.

Based on this culture of martial arts among the whole people, as well as the high ratio of the country's financial resources to the investment in the Roman army. Jin Zhan began to slowly appreciate the fundamentals of the powerful military power of the Roman Republic at this time. And the Roman Empire, which is about to rise in this land, will inevitably take advantage of this advantage to an even more terrifying degree.

Then a series of data statistics were gradually released. The 6,500 or so soldiers from the other side were almost wiped out. Even under all the concealment of taking advantage of the darkness, there are definitely only a few escapes.

The rebel army took advantage of the right time, place and people, so under the superposition of absolute superiority in all aspects, their battle losses were low enough, only a dozen people died on the battlefield, and there were more than 100 people with different degrees of injuries and hanging colors.

The most important gladiator units were largely unscathed. In particular, the heavy knight troops led by Kress did not contribute much in this battle.

However, due to the luxurious equipment and personnel lineup, and the fact that the combat experience is also very rich, basically not even the men and horses were not damaged much, but only lost some weapons and damaged some armor.

On the side of the light cavalry troops, it was inevitable that many men and horses would be injured. However, after the victory in the battle, this loss was insignificant compared to the number of horses captured from the side of the Roman army.

The light cavalry units were already out of the core of the battle. The Roman cavalry unit has been handed over to the heavy cavalry to take care of, and the light infantry force on the ground of the Roman has all been handed over to the mandarin duck battle array for harvesting.

Then their light cavalry units were free to look for fish around the battlefield, and at the same time spontaneously took on the responsibility of collecting horses. After all, as a rider, who wouldn't want to have a few more mounts.

So in the midst of this war, the horses that ran apart were constantly restrained by the scattered rebel troops.

As a result, the rebels added more than 2,000 batches of horses that could be used in battle. Some of the remaining horses were badly wounded or killed in the battle, while others had fled far away and were difficult to pursue.

For the seriously injured and incurable horses, the rebel army can just divide their troops and hold a barbecue banquet to celebrate the victory directly next to this blood-stained battlefield.

As the first hero of this battle, Kress was praised and embraced from all sides. He had long forgotten his previous promise to Vero, and he was constantly drinking happily at this time, and the large pieces of horse meat were even more soft.

He took his glass to Spartacus and clinked his glass, "Your trick to lure the enemy is too clever. Hahaha, I Kress admires it very much. Let our army win such a major victory with almost no damage, and more importantly, Lao Tzu is really happy to kill. ”

Spartacus also replied: "Haha, there will be more opportunities like this in the future." But when it comes to killing, I guess the number of enemies I've cut down isn't much less than yours. Also, next time you're a heavy cavalryman, you'll have to let me lead the way. ”

Hearing the conversation here, Drogba and the others also came over and echoed: "That's it, Kress, you kid took advantage." We've tightened our belts to wrap your heavy cavalry unit like that. You've been out of the limelight this time, and next time it's your brother's turn. ”

Although Kress had several glasses of wine, he was not drunk at all. Hearing this kind of remarks, he hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Alas, what kind of business, we have strict military discipline rules." Each performs its own duties and has clear rights and responsibilities. Moreover, although the roles of different classes are different, the role and credit for a battle should be shared equally among all members. The role of each force is equally prominent. ”

Kress pretended to be sanctimonious, but who couldn't see the smugness in his eyes?

When Omenus heard Kress's talk, he also came over and said, "Kress, do you really look like a general now?" Even high-sounding words have been learned. Since everyone's role is equally important, is it not that the tilt towards your heavy cavalry in terms of materials should also be abolished, and all units should be treated equally. ”

Kress almost squirted out a mouthful of wine, and the monkey said anxiously: "Coach, why are you coaxing with them?" I... I'm not kidding them. When do you want to come and lead the heavy cavalry to gallop, feel free to come? But the heavy cavalry troops are really indispensable. ”

Seeing that this guy showed his fox tail, everyone also laughed.

Compared to the leadership of the rebel army, ordinary combat soldiers were each given enough wine and horse meat to enjoy. After a fierce battle, enjoying the whole meat feast of the victor in the land where you have just fought is undoubtedly one of the great pleasures of life.

They are used to being servile and humble roles, but now they can laugh and be proud of the battlefield, and the dung was the marquis of ten thousand households back then, and it was really too sudden and happy.

In contrast to the euphoria on the side of the rebels, the army of Roma was anxiously awaiting the results of the night attack on the enemy camp by the troops at the front.

But they waited left and right, but none of the soldiers came back to report the news. Impatient, Graeber sent out one of the few sentinel cavalry to find out the news from the front again.

It wasn't until dawn that the sentry cavalry came back one after another to report what they had seen. Graeber, who had not slept all night, was already emaciated, and when he heard the bad news that the raiding troops on his side had been wiped out, he fell to the ground and couldn't recover for a long time.

Not only Graeber, but all the generals in the camp were in a daze of disbelief at this time. muttered, "Impossible, unreasonable... Is this rebel army really aided by gods and demons? ”

But under the unanimous confirmation of the cavalry detectives who came back to report, the hearts of everyone present were completely cooled.

The main cavalry units were almost completely lost, and the enemy side was actually holding a bonfire on the battlefield. This huge drop almost every nerve in each of them.

From the creation of their army to the present day, when have they suffered such a crushing defeat? Even if so many cavalry units were ambushed by the enemy, they would definitely not be wiped out like this, and the cavalry's outstanding high mobility ability could not break through the encirclement on the opposite side. No matter how they thought about it, they could not have imagined that the rebels had such a terrifying heavy cavalry force.

After a long time, Graeber slowly sat up from the ground, he kept rubbing his aching temples, and reluctantly said, "The defeat is decided, let's leave as soon as possible tomorrow morning." If we don't leave, I'm afraid that more than 20,000 of us will all be buried in this wasteland. ”

An old instructor hurriedly persuaded: "General, we still have the strength to fight now, if we retreat, we will probably not be able to go far, and our food will be exhausted." If the army is unstable and attacked by the enemy, the consequences are difficult to predict. And the main thing is that the nearest noble manors in this area have been looted by this group of hateful enemies, and it is difficult for us to obtain approved supplies. ”

A young general also spoke: "Yes, General. It is likely that this time our raiding force was ambushed by a cunning enemy. But you think the enemy is also an ordinary person, and he doesn't have three heads and six arms. Besides, they don't have the courage to fight us head-on, so I don't believe that our invincible Roman phalanx will be invincible. ”

Graeber was a little hesitant when his subordinates said it. He was so distracted that he couldn't figure it out. And from time to time, those things in the gladiatorial arena come to mind. Could it be that these terrifying gladiators were really so much stronger than ordinary soldiers? And among them, another person emerged, who could it be if it wasn't Jin Zhan?

He remembered the first time he saw Jin Zhan in the arena. He didn't think so at the time, thinking that it was just a special ability of a barbarian.

But now that he had experienced a great defeat, his self-confidence was gone, and he began to want to get a little spiritual support from the ghost and god religion. As a result of the fermentation of this thought, he now recalled that Jin Zhan's performance at that time was probably really the favor of the gods.

What a terrible thing it is to have such a person in the enemy's army. Even what happened on the night of Capua's bloodbath was now blamed on the man who had usurped the gods.

If you had known this, you should not have neglected the mysterious Oriental, if you could have kept him in your army at that time, maybe you would have soared by now.

The generals looked at each other, looking at Graeber, who was absent-minded and unable to concentrate on the proceedings, and was speechless for a long time. The young general urged again: "Please make a decision as soon as possible, because if the war starts tomorrow morning, we must prepare as soon as possible." ”

Graeber was awakened by the words, and recovered from the regret and self-blame of Fang Cai. Looking at the familiar faces in front of me, I recalled every victorious war I had experienced before.

But now it seems that everything is completely different. It is because they seem to be facing an adversary who is favored by the gods. This made it really difficult for him to ignite the confidence to fight again at this moment.
