Volume 3 Spartacus Chapter 85 Tiger Knight
In the torrent, although Spartacus and others are heroic, they can't stop the continuous sea of people that has not been settled and rises again and again.
And since the slaves and prisoners were the first to show signs of defeat, the gladiators felt a little alone and deeply surrounded. If you continue, you will be attacked from all sides, which is very dangerous.
By this time, the Roman soldiers had crossed the siege of gladiators and slaves, and had successfully joined up with a large number of besieged nobles.
Seeing this gratifying reversal, Graeber and the others couldn't help but smile. The heart and pale face that had been hanging gradually warmed up.
Illicia also had the heart to start teasing, "How dare these lowly slaves shake the tree? I really don't know how thick the sky is. Kill them all, my dear, and don't let any of them escape. ”
Graeber was also in a good mood at this time, but the picture just now still gave him a great shock. At this time, there are still some lingering palpitations. Said to Ilia with a fierce heart: "Hmph, I know that these dogs can't make any waves, and the light of rice grains dare to compete with the sun and the moon?" ”
However, it was not Elisia beside him who answered Graeber's confident and arrogant words, but a tiger roar in the darkness in the distance.
The confined space in the passage of the arena renders this tiger roar extremely dull and magnificent.
The spectators in the stands were already familiar with the roar of the tiger, and they had seen the Sibrian tiger perform in the stands.
But the roar of the tiger that brought them so much fun at the beginning really turned into a sharp sword that went straight into their hearts, almost smashing their souls.
The roar of the tiger was followed by the roars of other beasts. These wild sounds of roaring, roaring, or hissing overshadowed the battles in the entire arena passage.
Even the clanging of weapons was suddenly drowned out in a wild and wild sound that rolled in.
As the screams of the Roma soldiers continued to sound, more people saw the colorful tigers galloping in the distance of the passage in the faint light of the fire.
And there was a tall and thin young man sitting on the body of the tiger, and the majestic tiger and the incomparably thin young man formed a huge visual contrast.
But this one person and one tiger are indeed extremely tacit cooperation, and there is no obstacle everywhere they go. The power of the tiger itself can make most people instinctively fearful, so that they lose the courage to resist.
On the other hand, the young man on the tiger held a spear in his hand but did not wield it, but every time he passed by the Roman soldiers, he gently touched his neck, and then splashed with blood.
The frequency of his movements is too fast, and the movements of the dancing gun are too unbelievable. The seemingly weak shot of the gun caused huge damage.
How did the Roman soldiers know that this was actually relying on the huge impact force of the tiger itself, and Jin Zhan above was just constantly channeling this power to the tip of the spear.
The appearance of the Sibrian Giant Tiger instantly disintegrated the combat effectiveness and morale that the Romer soldiers had so hard to gather.
Giant bears, wild boars, wolves, and other beasts that kept coming in the aftermath shattered the impact of the Roma soldiers' formation.
The beasts had been imprisoned for so long, and as soon as they were released, they saw the Roman soldiers in armor and who usually whipped and called for them, and they immediately became ferocious, and frantically vented their long-standing grievances and anger on them.
Therefore, the Roman soldiers who came to reinforce later saw one human tragedy after another. The horror of the soldiers' injuries under the wild beast's frenzied bite far exceeded the normal metal cutting damage.
The stumps and severed arms all over the ground made the newly arrived Roma soldiers shudder, and they did not have the courage to fight at all. Turning around and running away, as long as there is still a little strength, try to stay away from this hellish place.
As soon as the reinforcements behind were cut off, the original advantage of the Roman soldiers was even more lost.
Under the front and rear of the beasts and gladiators, the Roman soldiers, who were completely discouraged, trampled and crushed each other, and the chaos was indescribable.
The Roman nobles, who were full of joy just now and felt that their lives should not be extinguished, could not figure out what was going on at all in the face of this sudden turn of events.
But from the roars of the beasts, the screams of the soldiers, and the Roman soldiers who gradually fell and retreated like dominoes in front of them, it was probably not difficult for them to guess the tragic scene ahead.
And this miserable situation is still approaching them from far and near, and the feeling that the glimmer of hope has been ruthlessly stifled has further amplified the fear in the hearts of the powerful.
Even a general like Graeber, who has been through a lot of battles, can't help but tremble like chaff at this time.
Jin Zhan, who was riding a Sibrian tiger in the crowd, turned around and stopped attacking at this time when the situation was good.
However, the assault of the beasts had managed to free the gladiators and slaves from the crowd of Roma soldiers.
Seeing Jin Zhan riding on the giant tiger like a god, it was difficult for people he knew to look at directly, let alone the group of prisoners who had been in the cage for a long time?
If Jin Zhan hadn't jumped off the tiger and approached them, those slaves would probably have fallen to their knees.
Jin Zhan seized the time to find Spartacus and Drogba, the opinion leaders of the gladiator group, and said to them: "The enemy has no morale and fighting spirit at this time, and it is time for us to retreat." ”
Seeing Jin Zhan riding a tiger like a miracle and carrying a hundred beasts majestically on the stage, everyone thought that he would definitely take them to completely destroy the hateful class enemies and soldiers in front of them.
Unexpectedly, what Jin Zhan stepped forward to tell them was to let them give up a good situation and turn around and retreat.
Drogba couldn't help but question: "Brother Jin Zhan, why is this?" Now that the enemy is fighting and retreating, there is no longer any will to fight, why should such a good opportunity be missed? ”
Spartacus was silent for a moment, he had no doubts about Jin Zhan's ability to judge the situation. Although he had the same doubts as Drogba, he calmed down and thought a little to understand the point.
Now they only relied on the ferocity of the beast to suppress the Roman soldiers. But beasts are not controllable by human will.
Jin Zhan had a friendship with the Sibrian Tigers, and he may have been able to reluctantly lead the herd to attack the Roma soldiers. But as the chaos intensifies, where will the herd be able to distinguish between sides?
It's time to get out of the way and leave the fallen nobles and Roman soldiers to the beasts.
So he said to Drogba without hesitation: "Drogba, do you still need to doubt Jin Zhan's decision?" Have you forgotten how today's counterattack came about? ”
Drogba was immediately awakened by this question. He is also impressed by Jin Zhan's layout ability. He is not a reckless man, even if he does not understand the stakes for the time being, but he knows the importance of seizing the moment, and he cannot hesitate for a minute.
So under the call of Drogba and Spartacus, the team of hundreds of people took advantage of the wild beast herd to rush into the Roma soldiers, slowly withdrew, and quietly left the arena at night.
