The rebels couldn't help but feel refreshed when they saw that the once invincible Roman army had actually fled in large numbers in front of them.

The new slaves and pre-gladiators, in particular, had been trembling under the whips of the Roma soldiers and city guards a few hours before. But now I can watch this group of disgraced aristocratic lackeys flee in a hurry, this feeling is simply hearty.

In the face of this situation, the rebel army did not produce too aggressive pursuit, still maintained a neat formation and a high degree of precautionary awareness, and slowly approached the Roman army and the city defense troops.

Not only were the Roma soldiers impressed by the rebels, but also the leaders of the rebels, such as Kress and Spartacus, found what had happened tonight too unbelievable.

Although they all participated in the formation training of this so-called Mandarin Duck Formation under the leadership of Jin Zhan before. But how could they have thought that under the first battle, this battle formation would exert such a powerful actual combat ability.

Even every soldier in the rebel mandarin duck formation felt like he was in a dream.

Originally, when the frontal battle began to make them charge the Roma army, many people in the Mandarin Duck formation felt somewhat nervous and uneasy. After all, this kind of military formation training only took a few days, and the weapons in their hands were all improvized, and the entire army could only be regarded as a fledgling.

But when they began to fight, they found that each character in the Mandarin Duck Formation only needed to complete a small part of the tasks assigned to them.

For example, the heavy shield bearer in the first row only needs to be responsible for stabilizing his body and keeping the heavy shield standing. The rattan players in the second row are only responsible for blocking the spear tips and blades that come from between the heavy shields in the front row of the enemy.

These rattan tablets are woven from oil-soaked and sun-dried tree rattans, which are very light in weight compared to wooden shields. One-handed manipulation is effortless, so they can easily block enemy weapons with rattan tiles. Even if there are weapons that can't be blocked by rattan cards, the short sword in the hand of the other of them can play a key role in filling the gap.

In this way, the first two lines of defense in the Mandarin Duck formation have been firmly established to ensure the safety of everyone in the formation.

Then there is the key core of the mandarin duck formation, that is, the wolf hand with long arms in the third row. The so-called wolf gland is the most agile core weapon in the mandarin duck array, and its prototype should be composed of bamboo in the coastal mountains.

However, it is difficult to find plants similar to bamboo, so Jin Zhan can only find fir and poplar branches with straight branches and many forks in the mountains. After some trimming, the wolf wedge was formed into a large mace with great power in the hands of the third-row gladiators.

This huge strategic deterrent weapon can be attacked, retreated, and defended. While seriously disrupting the opponent, it can also defend its own personnel well.

The only drawback is that it is very bulky, and it requires a lot of height, strength, and arm length from the user. Therefore, the wolf fighters in the third row of the rebel army's mandarin duck formation were all the strongest gladiators.

Compared to the wolf hand, the other positions are not so demanding.

The pikemen of the 4th platoon are configured as the main attack output of the entire battle formation. They can take advantage of the fact that the wolf hand has caused a certain amount of turmoil to the opponent, and then stab the spear into the opponent's body from the holes in the opponent's formation and harvest the opponent's life.

The last row of palladium boring hands is responsible for the defense of the entire flank and rear of the army. The length of the handle of the boring palladium is very long, and the bifurcation structure of the front end covers a very wide area.

Therefore, the palladium boring hand can quickly block the enemy who has missed the front row of troops, or the enemy who suddenly circles behind, and use the large fork of the boring palladium to resist a certain distance. This gives your troops time and space to change formations temporarily.

To sum up, although the mandarin duck formation of the entire rebel army was put into battle for the first time, all positions were fully qualified for their roles due to the very clear task assignment.

This kind of outstanding record, even in the eyes of Jin Zhan, the founder of the Mandarin Duck Array, is a bit unbelievable and beyond imagination. He had to admire the powerful wisdom of his ancestors.

This mandarin duck formation almost exerts the art of cold-weapon infantry combat to the extreme. And the powerful power exerted by this battle formation makes everyone in the formation deeply and heartily integrated into this tactical system.

The discipline, rigor and cooperation of the team have also been brought into full play. In this positive cycle of constantly complementing each other, the soldiers in the mandarin duck formation of the rebel army are all high-spirited, disciplined, and meticulous. It didn't give the Roma army in front of him and the city defense troops of Napolus any chance to take advantage of it.

The city defense troops, who had arrived in the rear, were shocked and panicked when they learned of the rout of the Roma army in front. No one, including the leader of the strong men, could muster up the courage to fight this powerful rebel army again.

Therefore, this group of combined forces, which had absolute superiority in numbers, retreated without a fight in front of the rebel army's mandarin duck array. Many of these national mercenaries have long since disappeared. What is the little reward in front of one's own life?

But a cup of tea, the combined forces that were originally densely stacked together. At this moment, it has disappeared like birds and beasts, leaving the rebels looking at each other and laughing.

With the example of the mandarin duck formation, the slaves and gladiators who newly joined the rebel army consciously obeyed the orders of the rebel army. After all, in the eyes of reckless men like them, fists and strength are the last word, and the powerful power exerted by the Mandarin Duck Array is enough to convince them completely.

And the command of the army was completely in the hands of Spartaksk. For this point, thanks to Jin Zhan's continuous efforts, no one in the rebel army still has any doubts about this.

Therefore, compared with the original Spartacus rebel army in history, today's Spartacus has a strong appeal for this army that it did not have.

Under the orders of Spartacus, the army was divided into several small teams, taking advantage of the complete collapse of the Napolus resistance, to collect as much supplies and money as possible.

This opulent dock has a wealth of goods and weapons that far surpasses Capua. And they don't have to worry about the lifting of these heavy loads, because the last thing on the dock is the boats that carry the heavy loads.

The slaves who had been working at the port of Napolus suddenly found themselves swept into the ranks of the Spartacus rebels, and inexplicably fought a great victory. How could the beaten slave owners and Roman soldiers not make them smile and enjoy it.

As a result, slaves who watched from afar near the harbor or participated cautiously chose to flee and join the rebels. After seeing that the rebel army has such a strong military force, where would they not choose this opportunity to turn over and be the master and enjoy the freedom of life.

While searching the docks, the rebels found themselves growing in ranks. The number of slaves also far exceeded the scale just now, which made Spartacus and Jin Zhan and the others both happy and troubled.

There are so many slaves, and it's hard to say if a few spies are mixed in. Fortunately, the slaves were treated in the same misery, and the commoners or nobles would not have all kinds of horrible scars on their bodies.

With this, it is basically possible to quickly determine whether the person who comes to seek refuge is a trustworthy object. Therefore, the gladiators, who were still busy collecting supplies and moving food and grass just now, had a new task, inspecting the large group of slaves who had just joined the ranks here.

It was destined to be a busy night. Kress didn't care about the recruits or the money like the others. After the battle, he spent the whole time looking for the horses scattered in the city.

Ever since he and Jin Zhan snatched the horses of Graeber's Sentinel and transformed them into knights, Kress has been intoxicated with the pleasure of charging and slashing on horseback.

He dreamed of creating a strong cavalry unit in the rebel army, and the most important thing in the cavalry unit was the number of horses. It's a pity that there aren't too many cavalry in the opposing force today.

So he searched everywhere with his men and found a hundred horses, and even if the number was not as large as expected, it was still enough to make Kress happy.

In the midst of a carnival, Spartacus was still able to calmly assess the situation. At the right time, he gathered all the men as quickly as possible through several leaders in charge of management.

After all, Napolus was an important port in the Republic of Rome. Although it is said that this place is mainly engaged in business all year round, the combat force is relatively weak. However, the army of Varilius should not be too far away, and the scattered and fleeing army may have spread the news to their commander.

And if they stay here for too long, they will put their group under siege. Although it is said that the battle is won and the morale is full now, no one is iron-clad, and in the case of absolute number suppression, it is still very dangerous on his side.

In the crowd, Spartacus finally saw Jin Zhan, grabbed him and asked, "How is it?" Isn't it time to retreat? ”

Jin Zhan hurriedly nodded and said, "I'm also ordering people to gather troops everywhere." ”

"I didn't expect that Bolus would be in our hands so easily, do you think our plan should be changed?" Spartacus asked tentatively.

Jin Zhan flatly refused: "No." We must go! First of all, many of our rebels remained in the temples of the north, and it was very difficult to get them to the city. In addition, the low and flat terrain of the city wall of Port Napolus is not conducive to defending the city at all, so you should never have any luck thoughts. ”
