Volume III Spartacus Chapter 91 Spark of the Star

Once the Roman army ceased to effectively command the battle array, the entire army was in a state of failure.

Once this powerful formation does not have effective command, it is impossible to guarantee the integrity of the formation at all. The rhythm of attack and defense in the formation has lost its effective unified deployment and coordination, and soldiers in different directions have also produced various differences in the choice of attack and defense, resulting in the entire formation being pulled into pieces.

It didn't take long for the queue, which had been tightly organized just a moment ago, to begin to become scattered and thin, and the flaws left for the gladiators gradually increased.

Seeing this gratifying change, gladiators with a keen sense of smell and a hound's nose would not let such a great opportunity slip through their blades.

With just one gap, it can take the life of a shield player. And when a shield player falls to the ground, it leaves a big gap in the formation. The weak flanks of the two shieldmen next to them, as well as the spearmen and daggers in the rear, will be directly threatened.

Kress grew braver, holding a spear in one hand and wielding a knife in the other. The spear swept away a few stabbing spears and swept through the throats of the opposing spearmen, drawing a few snowflakes on the canvas of the night.

At the same time, the machete in his hand was like a beacon of fire, cutting through the short knife that blocked the defense. Before the momentum was gone, he slashed at the shoulder of the shield man next to him.

At the same time, he took advantage of the situation to twist his body and crashed into the shield hand on the other side. In an instant, the two shield-bearers on the left and right were put to the ground by him.

And where the spear in his hand swept through, the enemy was not spared at all. In a short period of time, Kress was like a god descending from the earth, drawing an open space in front of Roma's formation.

Looking at such a brave commander, the gladiators behind him also drew gourds in the same way, chewing on these gaps. Then, the iron bucket-like iron array was torn apart, revealing a large area of soldiers who had begun to panic inside.

In the center of the battlefield, Graeber's side was already bleeding and confused, and it was impossible to continue commanding the battle. His guards and lieutenants also immediately took Graeber and Elixia, who almost fainted, and prepared to break out.

For a while, the flag flew in the Roman military formation, and the formation changed rapidly. The shield defense formation in the northeast corner suddenly opened a huge opening.

An elite group of light guards escorted Graeber and Illicia as they quickly broke out of the encirclement.

Seeing that someone was about to break out, many people in the rebel army wanted to step forward to chase and block, but they were stopped by Spartacus shouting. He clearly knew that this unit was definitely the elite of the enemy's army.

Moreover, the guards who want to defend General Graeber will inevitably fight to the death, and if their side wants to defeat them, after all, they will have to pay a huge price, and the victory or defeat is not yet known.

This kind of behavior is unnecessary on the battlefield, their own purpose is to give a surprise attack on this established army, and now that the goal has been fully achieved, there is no need to lose the lives of many brothers.

After Graeber's guards retreated, the Roma soldiers who had been holding their positions also retreated. However, at the time of the evacuation, they always maintained a certain formation. It didn't blow up because of the coach's injury. For the whole performance of the Roman army, Jin Zhan saw it in his eyes. In his heart, he secretly admired the strength of the armed forces of the Republic of Rome. The fact that a random unit has such severe military discipline and combat effectiveness is truly worthy of its name.

Looking at the methodical and slowly retreating Roma troops, Jin Zhan and Spartacus stopped all the pursuit of the rebel army. They just pretended to follow up for a while, and then immediately reversed the direction of the army. Reflexively, he walked towards the place where the supplies were stored outside the city.

Along the way, it was a triumphant song and a momentum that shook the sky. Compared with the swagger just now, this time it obviously had a greater shock to the nobles in the city.

Originally, when the Roman army began to actively prepare for the attack, many nobles had gradually put away their fears from the foreshadowing. Slowly walked out, spying on the battle situation here.

Thinking that in just one short hour, the lomast army, which was known as invincible, was completely defeated by this ragtag slave army with a numerical advantage. This shock put everyone in danger to themselves, and in a hurry they closed the door again and extinguished all the lights.

The whole street and the entire main town of Capua fell into darkness and dead silence. But in the darkness and excitement, there was a faint light from far and near, which was a little spark in the darkness.

The flickering light of the fire turned dim to strong, from sporadic to starry sky, and hundreds of torches gathered together, like a wildfire, constantly spreading light into the dark Kapua.

The raucous rebels kept shouting short and heartfelt slogans such as resistance to exploitation, freedom and equality, and ownership.

How could the slaves of the noble mansions of Capua remain indifferent? Although the doors of each family are closed, the guards are trying to maintain order in the family as much as possible. But outside the wall, there was a monstrous cry of freedom, which made them restless inside.

If it weren't for the guards of each family who had already put their sharp blades in front of their eyes, it is estimated that many people would have taken this opportunity to climb over the wall and join this mighty and invincible rebel army.

However, even under the control of high pressure, there were still many slaves and servants who were bold and eager for freedom, quietly taking advantage of the night, under the cover of noisy shouts outside, to climb out of the courtyard.

And with the swagger of the rebel army, there are more and more such situations, how can the aristocratic forces at this time dare to chase them out and arrest people?

Seeing many of the new slaves joining the team, Spartacus smiled with satisfaction. Still, he was able to identify every slave who joined their ranks.

Because the biggest difference between slaves and nobles in this era is that they will be branded with a clear mark on their bodies. Just like the gladiators and slaves of the Battitas family, their arms would be deeply branded with a scar with the letter B.

The scars are ugly and shocking. He made the slaves deeply remember who their masters were, while never forgetting the fact that they were slaves.

Now the peasants were pleasantly surprised to find that this ugly mark on their bodies had become a stepping stone to their freedom. This also made them feel extremely excited, and they really felt the feeling of being the slave in charge, and once turned over.
