Volume 3 Spartacus Chapter 88 A Shot Back to the Horse
After Omenas briefly described the location and general direction of the Lost Temple, several gladiators who had consulted together felt that it was an excellent proposal.
The inaccessible ancient temple can be used as a shelter for many people, as well as to avoid the scouts and eyeliner of the Roman soldiers as much as possible.
"Great, Omenas, let's get going." Drogba said.
"That's right, without further ado, or Roma's soldiers will launch a frantic counterattack against us as soon as they recover their strength." Eligon, a Germanic gladiator who has always been more old-fashioned, said.
Spartacus looked around and saw a crowd of black heads watching them from behind.
And as time passed, the slave servants who did not have too strong fighting power seemed to be a little restless at this time.
In this case, if the Roman soldiers catch up with them, they will be in disarray, and the consequence will most likely be to scatter and flee.
Except for Spartacus, who had personally experienced the war, only Jin Zhan in a group of people could understand Spartacus's concerns at this time.
Jin Zhan understood how decisive the morale of a unit was in battle in the era of cold weapons. If they were pursued by Roma's regular troops during the retreat, most of the slaves who had no combat experience would be scattered.
In this case, the casualties of the entire army are completely uncontrollable, let alone what effective resistance can be organized.
And now that it's been hours since they left the arena, Roma's troops should have rescued the nobles who hadn't been burned to death in the arena.
At this time, if Graeber and the others had not been killed by the angry beasts, they should have been able to gather a group of Roma troops who were still fighting to prepare for revenge.
Although Jin Zhan had not experienced any large-scale cold-weapon military conflict in the real sense, he had gradually developed a special early warning perception of danger after entering the dream world for many days.
He subconsciously felt that the danger ahead was approaching, and if he was not careful, he might slaughter the large number of people who had escaped in an instant.
Seeing that everyone in the audience expressed their opinions that they were eager to evacuate, Spartacus and Jin Zhan frowned and remained silent.
But the opinion of these two people is extremely crucial for this team. Kress was the most anxious, his eyes widened and urged: "I said you two should hurry up and get an idea, these hundreds of people are waiting for your decision." ”
"yes, hesitation doesn't look like the two of you." Omenas couldn't help but ask.
"Listen to me." Jin Zhan suddenly spoke, "I calculated the time, and at this time, it is likely that Roma's troops have begun to assemble and prepare to attack and pursue us. ”
"And our majestic march at that time must have been discovered by the remaining nobles in the city. After they had explored the estates of Battitas and Soronis, they would surely pursue them in the direction of the outskirts of the city. ”
"When the time comes, we gladiators may not be afraid of them. But what about the slaves and servants? If they were to be frightened and riot in the face of thousands of Roma soldiers, our formation would be constantly broken up by them, and they would be very passive when the time came. ”
Spartacus hurriedly nodded and agreed: "Brother Jin Zhan is right, I am also very worried about being attacked by the Roma troops, especially their cavalry, in the process of retreating. In that case, it would be difficult to free the slaves, and the servants would be slaughtered in an instant. ”
Kress was also a little wavering when he heard this, but then he asked, "What then?" If we don't leave, won't we be at risk of being caught up? ”
Eligang, Drogba, Murice and others began to be silent, their eyes focused on Jin Zhan and Spartacus, obviously waiting for their further plan.
"I want to take advantage of the fact that our morale is still high now, and we have eaten enough under the supplies just now, and I have eased some of my physical strength and spirit."
"It's better to rush him into the city now! Carrying the momentum of our recent great victory, I think that the panicked, uncertain, hastily assembled Roma army may not be our opponent. ”
Spartacus agreed again: "Seconds, at this time, we will once again enter the city, and it will inevitably have unexpected effects. ”
"The soldiers of Rome have just experienced the attack of fierce beasts and the influence of the sea of fire, and in this late night, it is impossible for reason to have much will to fight."
"If we retreat and flee, they may slowly see our weaknesses. But if we take the initiative, they will be the ones who will be afraid. ”
Ai Ligang also came to his senses at this time, nodded and said, "I see! The two of them were really thoughtful. If you hit it hard again, it will inevitably have a huge psychological oppression on the nobles who will live for the rest of their lives. ”
"If we win one more game, it will be difficult for the Romans forces to organize an effective pursuit. Then we will be able to evacuate safely. ”
Analyzing this place, Kress finally came to his senses. He laughed and said, "It seems that this kind of thing has to be handed over to Jin Zhan and Spartacus, let's just go into battle and kill the enemy honestly." ”
Immediately, Drogba, Muris and Omemenas and others also smiled.
After some simple exchanges and deployments, the entire rebel army was roughly clear about the next deployment arrangements, and some old and weak women and children were arranged in the rear to manage logistics and materials.
The rest of those who have combat ability are centered on gladiators, and some simple combat teams are quickly formed. After a plunder, each of them had plenty of weapons and equipment. Under the simple combination, a combat force that cannot be ignored has been formed.
Most of the people in this team have to face high-intensity labor for a long time, so their physical training is quite strong and enduring. Even women and the elderly actually have relatively objective combat capabilities.
Therefore, when it comes to real fighting, their seemingly scattered rabble can actually be condensed into an effective force that is fully armed and all the people are soldiers.
Under the passionate call of powerful gladiators, they successfully aroused the rebellion of the newly freed slaves. After all, there were powerful gladiators as spearheads and leaders, and they had no worries that they would not be able to defeat those Roman soldiers.
After all, in Capua, gladiators symbolized the highest level of force. Just imagine what a terrifying torrent of war this gladiator team of more than 100 people is now.
Even if they themselves were to be indiscriminate and pretending to be powerful in the back, they could take advantage of the chaos to give color to the nobles who had oppressed them.
As a result, the morale of the entire army rose in an instant. Amid the shouts of the sea and the mountains, the city of Capua seemed to tremble and sway in the light of the fire.
