For a moment, Graeber had no choice but to make a decision. Because the size of the rebel army is far greater than he imagined, and they now have a certain size of cavalry troops.

And there is also this kind of superb tactics that are not playing with people's hearts. Once this battle starts, I am afraid that it will not be able to be closed all at once. Even if they finally won the final victory by relying on the superiority in numbers, the losses of their own troops are probably not few.

And if all of them were withdrawn like this, the Senate would definitely be furious. Even if he doesn't really send his troops to expand his territory, it will definitely impose all kinds of economic sanctions.

Originally, it seemed to him that there was nothing worse than this, but now he had a very ominous premonition in the face of this strange and unpredictable rebel army in front of him, whose strength was unknown.

He even felt that it was better to exterminate this rebel army than to go to the frontier. Moreover, his connections in the Senate and the influence of Illicia's father may be able to help him maneuver. So in a short period of time, Graeber really didn't think about what to do next.

When the rebels greeted the cavalry troops who had returned triumphantly and made great achievements, they all understood what had just happened.

It turned out that Kress led this cavalry unit, and at first made a direct attack on the Roman army formation, so that the enemy would think that the rebels did not know how to use cavalry.

And they can use the terrifying power of the Roman phalanx to inflict devastating damage on this cavalry. As a result, the enemy lying in ambush on both sides did not make any move.

The sprint turned in a short minute or two. This minute or two is enough time to cast a cloud of fog on the enemy. And once the cavalry of this rebel army was allowed to speed up the field, it was impossible to catch up.

With a big smile on his face, Kress dismounted, spreading the laughter throughout the rebels' Chinese camp. At the same time, he did not forget to say it loudly.

"It's so exciting, it's so painful. Vero, you kid made this batch of incendiary wine bottles, it's really exciting. In such a short period of time, the fire burned almost all over their supply camp. ”

C Vero said with a happy face: "Then do you need to say? How bad can I get from my Shenhuo team? But you know, my incendiary product costs a lot of wine. The most drunk in our uprising realm is you, this guy, as soon as you pick up the wine jar, it will be endless. ”

Kress hurriedly replied, "Good to say, good to say... Isn't it just a little wine, next time our brothers will drink a little less, won't it save you? Next time I'll take the lead in restricting, how about it? ”

The crowd burst into laughter. Eligang asked, "How is Kress doing now?" How much food did you burn them? ”

Kress smiled confidently, "You don't have to worry about that. Under that fire, they couldn't put it out for a while. Even if there is any leftover food from the burn, it can basically only be fed to the animals. Can these soldiers, who usually eat and drink well, can they endure this kind of coarse tea and light rice? Just wait and see if they go hungry. ”

Ai Ligang nodded and said, "Now that this is the case, shouldn't we take a detour to avoid the enemy's counterattack?" It is estimated that if they spend a few days dealing with them like this, their 30,000 people will definitely not have the strength to fight again. ”

Kress thought for a moment and nodded, "That's right, it won't take more than a few days." A day or two was enough time for this army to disperse. ”

However, just as the generals were ready to dodge in a roundabout way, Spartacus rarely replied, "I think it's necessary to fight them head-on now." ”

Hearing this, everyone asked in unison, "Why is this?" ”

"Listen to me slowly. If you think about the few big victories we've fought before, almost all of them have been miraculous when we were taken by surprise and unprepared. And this time, even all of you thought that we were going to dodge and wait for the enemy to mess up. The enemy generals were also able to make this judgment. ”

"Then they should be extremely reluctant to come out and go around with us now. There are 5,000 of us, 30,000 of them, and if we really go around in circles, it is obviously needless to say who is more flexible and whose troops are more mobile. Therefore, they are not at all ready to come out to fight with us. ”

"And even if they pluck up the courage to fight us, the problem of their lack of food and grass will always haunt each of them. This is like losing support and support behind them, so they can't exert much combat effectiveness at all. ”

"And our side has the foundation of the previous victories, and the morale has been unprecedentedly high, and even everyone is holding back a ruthless energy in their hearts, wanting to beat those Roma soldiers well, and test the results of our training by the way."

"But if you think that when they know that we are not retreating, and want to fight them head-on, they must be able to think that if they defeat us, they will take our food!" Eligang couldn't help but question loudly.

His remarks were echoed by everyone.

Spartacus continued: "Eligang is right. So the tactics I'm talking about aren't a head-on fight with them without any fanfare. Instead, he pretended to retreat slowly, separated from them as soon as possible, and then set up an empty camp for them to grab food after they had caught up with all their might. Then we burst out again, first surround them with fire, and then slowly eat away at their main force. ”

Eligang suddenly realized: "I see. If I were the enemy's commander, I would have sent as many mobile troops as possible to raid our camp. It is best to cause big damage and grab food, but it can't be killed, and the food is burned like us, and the two sides are back on the same running line. ”

Kress also interjected: "Then the enemy must have sent his cavalry, and at most some light infantry." Haha, it's exciting to think about. Let's eat a fat man in one breath again. ”

Jin Zhan did not express an opinion this time. Because Spartacus's interpretation of the battle situation is already very good. It's just that some small details need to be perfected at that time.

It seems that this rebel army has gradually matured, and several generals now have a certain strategic vision. I was able to make a reasonable analysis of the situation, and I also knew how to go to the army to fight, win by surprise, and win at the lowest cost.

Following this line of thought, the rebels immediately withdrew after a full meal, and retreated in a direction away from Roma's army.

Looking at the rebels, they finally left the camp as they expected. Several of the generals in Graeber's army finally breathed a sigh of relief. In fact, they don't have a bottom in their hearts, because this rebel army is too cunning and too unruly.

But since they are willing to retreat in peace, then they must fight. Graeber didn't want to use his cavalry in his previous wars, as it was his most important asset.

But now the situation is completely different. If he doesn't gamble again, his future will really be in the hands of others.

I also have 3,500 knights. This is definitely an invincible and devastating absolute main force in the era of cold weapons.

You must know that this is because he has exhausted the manpower and material resources of Capua and the surrounding areas, and he has also relied on the large army to obtain so many horses and equipment from the perennial expeditions on the Mediterranean coast to form a reorganized cavalry force.

No matter how strong the rebel army is, no matter how cunning it is. I'm afraid it's hard to resist the gap in absolute strength.

And for the sake of safety, Graeber once again selected 3,000 soldiers with physical strength in the army to travel lightly, and with the cavalry units to cooperate with the attack, they can also carry out certain auxiliary work at critical times.
