Although Ai Ligang understood what Jin Zhan meant, he still couldn't help but question: "But such a good opportunity is in front of you, if you can't hit these Rome soldiers happily, it will also be detrimental to the morale of our rebel army." ”

For these emerging generals in the rebel army, this hearty victory will be the key to their position, and they really can't bear to give up.

Jin Zhan laughed and said, "Don't worry, Ai Ligang, there are still a few of you." Have you not yet discovered the most important purpose of our ambush? ”

Eligang and the others glanced at each other, and then at the chaotic situation below the valley. I didn't understand what Jin Zhan was referring to, what was it?

On the contrary, Kress, who has always been impulsive and does not like to use his brain, smiled slyly and said: "The most important thing that the Jin Zhan brothers said is naturally the group of horses that are uncontrollable, running wildly, and a large number of fallen and struggling horses. ”

Hearing Kress say this, everyone came back to their senses. Looking closely, I couldn't help but exclaim in unison.

Although at this time, under the deliberate indulgence of the rebels, a large number of Roma soldiers had already scattered and fled, and even Varilius and a core circle of staff were running away without danger. But the horses that tripped over the stumbling ropes and the chaotic crowd, and the uncontrolled panicked horses, were clearly a great gift to the rebels.

Seeing this scene in front of them, Ai Ligang and the others also began to be overjoyed. All he was thinking about was how to match all his foot soldiers with horses in the future. Even if you don't fight as a professional cavalryman, you can share a lot of manual labor when traveling long distances.

And compared with this batch of war horse resources, what is the importance of killing a few more and killing a few fewer Roman soldiers? It's better to keep the strength of your side as much as possible from loss, and accept this group of horses sent to the door.

Kress was naturally the most excited. It was as if he had seen a large cavalry force with outstanding combat power. Once thousands of horses run, how mighty and unstoppable they are.

At the same time, he couldn't help but tease Ai Ligang and said, "How is it? Eligang, you kid woke up this time, right? What is there to kill the Roma soldiers of these dishes? Lao Tzu didn't even bother to lift a knife. ”

Eli just glared back at him and said, "Didn't you want to kill this guy as anxiously as I did before?" When I came back, I said cool things. If Jin Zhan and Spartacus hadn't stopped me just now, I guess you would have been the first to rush out. ”

Seeing that the two were about to clash, Spartacus hurriedly said, "Okay, the most important task now is to clean up this mess." In addition to those war horses, there are also ordinary slaves who did not surrender and wait on the spot with the Roma soldiers fleeing in the valley, and they are also an important part of strengthening our army. ”

When Spartacus said this, everyone found out that after the army of Varilius fled, there were still many slaves and miscellaneous servants who were crawling on the ground in the center of the field.

Presumably, they did not willingly follow the Roma army to fight for the tiger, but just to make a living. When they found out that the rebel army was really as unstoppable as the legend, they actually wanted to find an opportunity to get out of the sea of misery and surrender to join the rebel army.

As a result, under the deliberate release of water by the rebels, the army of Varilius, who had been besieged in the valley, had escaped from the gaps in all directions and ascended to heaven.

Some of the soldiers who were obviously lost were killed by the itchy rebel soldiers. At this time, there were still many corpses of Roma soldiers left in the valley.

After all, in the chaos that had preceded them, many of them had died under the crowd of horses. However, a large number of surviving slaves and miscellaneous servants kept praying to the heavens as if they had been reborn.

After a lot of cleaning and cleaning with the participation of all members of the rebel army, all the data were also summarized on the side of Spartacus and a few others. In this battle alone, the death toll of the Roma soldiers has reached more than 2,000. This is definitely a lot of money for a war in the era of cold weapons.

The number of horses acquired, minus the number of seriously injured horses that could not be used, is still close to 1,000. This is simply an astronomical amount for the rebels.

Looking at the group of horses standing blankly after calming down, the rebel army had a feeling of sudden wealth from top to bottom. At this scale, as long as they have a force in their troops, they can almost harvest a batch of mounts by hand.

Not long ago, they were slaves, how could they have imagined that today, they can ride tall horses and enjoy different scenery like nobles.

The number of slaves who surrendered in the field also exceeded 1,000. This is a new force that cannot be ignored for the vigorous and growing rebel army.

So when the rebel army accepted this group of surrendered slaves, the size of the entire team had reached nearly 4,000 people. Most of the slaves were used as miscellaneous servants and coolies. So the men in their group make up the vast majority.

As a result, most of the recently surrendered slaves were physically fit to perform simple combat missions with a little military training.

And because the advantage of this formation of the Mandarin Duck Battle Formation is that it can minimize the individual combat ability requirements of each position, so for the adult strong men who have newly joined the rebel army, as long as they train for three or five days, they can assume some relatively auxiliary roles in the column of the Mandarin Duck Battle Formation.

The training of cavalry was more complicated. After all, now the size of the cavalry is close to 1500 people. This is a far cry from the previous 200 or so rides.

With such a large cavalry team, how to carry out a reasonable formation, how to adjust the gap of each batch of horses, how to maintain a reasonable formation in the charge, and how to give full play to the mobility of the cavalry to achieve a gathering and dispersion. All these problems are difficult problems for the rebel army to solve.

With the successful victory of this battle, the power of the rebel army has never been stronger. At the same time, the rapid expansion of the staffing structure will bring many management problems, so the rebel army urgently needs a reasonable system to effectively restrain all soldiers.

For Spartacus, who had several years of experience in the army, he was well aware of the rules of military discipline. Even if you directly copy the military regulations of the Roman army, you can definitely create a strong and disciplined army.

After all, these are the condensed and summarized experience of the Roman army through years of combat experience with Greece, Carthage, and various military camps around the Mediterranean.

In addition to Spartacus's personal experience and improvements, and then according to the characteristics and personnel composition of the rebel army, some strategic measures adapted to local conditions were carried out, and a set of management systems with clear rewards and punishments, strict and humane flavor were formed, and the brotherhood of the rebel army was brought into full play as much as possible.

Therefore, even in Jin Zhan's view, the series of military management regulations proposed by Spartacus is indeed very simple to use.

When this system was finally introduced by Spartacus, there was almost no opinion from the top and bottom of the rebel army. The old thorn Kress also praised this management system, and he and Eligang advanced quickly and effectively in the two largest groups of the rebels, the Gaolu and the Germanic camps, respectively.

After that, Spartacus immediately followed Jin Zhan's previous guidance and put forward a program of action for the rebel army, exempting all land from taxation, emancipating all slaves, and eliminating the slave-owning class. so that the cultivator has his land, and the dweller has his house, and it is distributed according to work and according to need......

In just a few sentences, the class contradictions have been written off once and for all. And financially give the most basic living security to all those who join its I Ching.

One can imagine what a terrible temptation this program of action and political slogan was for the slave class of the Roman Republic.

When this program of action and political slogans were spread among several generals, they once again showed a look of disbelief.

They absolutely did not expect that Spartacus, as a fighting powerhouse in the arena, would have such a commanding position and excellent strategic vision and planning ability in terms of management and politics.

This also made several of them subconsciously feel that Spartacus was the most suitable as the leader of the rebel army, and it was very likely that they would lead this rebel army to continue to grow and launch a strong challenge to the powerful Roman Republic.

What surprised Kress, Eligang and others even more was that Spartacus showed his big heart as a leader. It is very trusting to distribute the combat power of the rebel army reasonably.

As much as possible, compatriots of the same regional culture were assigned together to administer, so that Kress and Eligang took over a large number of Gaolu and Germanic peoples, respectively.

Kress was in charge of the cavalry troops, and Eligang, Drogba, Morris, and Barka were in charge of the mandarin duck battle ground troops. This arrangement made everyone happy and convinced, put aside any controversy and Xiao Jiujiu in their hearts, and released a bold statement that they would inevitably improve their team.

Omennas gave full play to his steady, cautious and experienced characteristics to manage the logistics and supply of the entire army. Vero, a lively guy, made a name for himself through a previous ambush battle. The team he led with almost no combat effectiveness was called the Shenhuo Secret Service.

This made Vero fartfully happy for a long time. Of course, this resounding name, you don't have to guess to know that Jin Zhan came up with it. The mission of the Shenhuo Secret Service Team is to collect as many limited resources as possible to make technological breakthroughs.

Jin Zhan, on the other hand, formed a reconnaissance unit in the rebel army with a group of physically strong and swift soldiers.

This overall arrangement was very satisfactory in all aspects, but it was discovered that in the end Spartacus did not have the direct management of a single soldier of his own.

This also makes all the characters feel very puzzling and embarrassed. As the leader of the rebel team, it stands to reason that there should be one of the most elite guards to listen to his direct orders.

But now that the good thing is that all kinds of elite forces have been used in the cavalry and mandarin duck battle formations. It seems that Spartacus, the battle leader, has been completely hollowed out.

But Spartacus himself was not at all dismissive of this. How did they know that Jin Zhan had already trained him in management before, and Spartacus definitely had a clear management and plan now.

In fact, he had firmly grasped the financial power of the entire army through Omenas, and all the money, food, materials, weapons, horses, and means of production harvested from the war were managed and distributed by him with full authority.

These seemingly trivial, tedious and boring tasks, although they do not seem to be as enjoyable as directly leading the team to fight bloodily, but they directly control the core lifeblood of the rebel army.

After a series of propaganda and propaganda work on the reorganization of the troops, the entire rebel army took on a new look from the inside out, and there was a qualitative leap in thinking.

They are no longer aimlessly rebelling for the sake of rebellion, fighting for hatred. Now almost all of them have certain good expectations and visions for their future lives.

And at the same time, he uses this expectation as an endogenous motivation to fight and constantly challenge authority. And because of this political slogan put forward by Spartacus, everyone in the army recognized the leadership of Spartacus from the bottom of their hearts. And he is willing to sacrifice everything for this revolutionary ideal.
