Volume 3 Spartacus Chapter 107 The Old Man Reappears

Graeber shook his head and said, "You say fight, but how?" The other party has taken all kinds of advantages, will it take the initiative to attack us head-on now? Now they just have to adapt to our movements and keep going around with us. Where do we have a chance to fight a fair battle with the enemy without the mobile force of the cavalry, young man, you are still too naΓ―ve. ”

When Graeber said this, the young general could only blush and couldn't refute it.

Just when there was silence in the barracks, a strong man who was not familiar to everyone came out of the dark corner.

Seeing him stand out from the ranks, Graeber was a little interested and hurriedly asked, "Azul, if you have anything to say, hurry up." ”

Those present were unfamiliar with the new Azul, but they only had a rough idea that he was the latest to join Graeber's army. In fact, since that escape from the flames of the arena, Azul has been secretly lurking, preparing to find an opportunity to meet Graeber's backer.

After the rebels made a huge disturbance in Napoles, Graeber's attention to the rebels increased day by day. This gave Azul the opportunity to nominate herself. He was then summoned by Graeber as a gladiator who had escaped from the Battitas family.

After all, this gladiator, who was in close contact with Spartacus, Cress, Jin Zhan and others, might be able to make a special contribution.

Therefore, when the army set out on this expedition, Azul followed Graeber to this battlefield. Since there was nothing wrong with the army's actions before, Azul didn't have much opportunity to admonish. Up to this point, Graeber's army was subjected to unprecedented setbacks and hardships.

Realizing that the time had come, Azul replied, "General, I have worked with the thieves of the rebel army for a long time, and I know very well their respective characteristics. ”

"The core strength of the rebels is their gladiator group, and the number of real gladiators they have is not too many. As long as this power is slowly dissipated, then our chances of victory will be much greater. ”

"And there are very few cores in the gladiator team, and although the high-ranking Kress is strong, he is impulsive and irritable, and he is very easy to make fools. In the previous battle, I found out that he was leading the cavalry of the rebel army, which actually gave us a lot of opportunities. ”

"And the real leader or brain of the rebel army is not Spartacus, but an extremely thin young man, his name is Jin Zhan."

"This man is extremely cunning. The previous fire incident at the Capua Arena was completely a thread and a thread for this person's overall plan, and I estimate that these victories of the rebel army are inseparable from this person's strategy. ”

"So the most important thing is that we get rid of the core brains of the rebels as soon as possible. In this way, there is a high probability that this rebel army will fall apart, and we will have a chance to break each one. ”

Although the instructors around him were very upset with this rookie who came out of nowhere, and thought that he was talking about it there, Graeber didn't think so.

To some extent, he strongly agrees with Azul, and he also believes that the mastermind of the rebel army is likely to be Jin Zhan, the miracle son of the arena.

There are too many doubts and wonders about this mysterious Oriental. If this person could be eliminated as Azul said, then most of his worries would be alleviated.

So Graeber waved his hand and asked Aso to arrange a seat for him to sit down and talk slowly.

Azul was unceremoniously on an equal footing with the other high-ranking generals. Under their hostile gaze, he picked up the teacup and took a sip, saying proudly.

"Ordinary Roman soldiers and generals don't know how terrifying gladiators are, but I, as a gladiator who has fought many times in the arena, know very well. And the gap between gladiators and gladiators is equally striking. To put it mildly, I'm strong enough to single-handedly take on 10 of the Roma soldiers in this army. And Kress, like the one I just mentioned, is quite capable of doing it with one to hundred. ”

Enjoying the surprised expressions of the officers around him, Azul continued, "But I know that there is another person who can take the head of the general from the army and retreat safely. And this person is not in the rebel army, and can be used to complete the decapitation operation. ”

"Tell me who this person is?" Graeber's eyes lit up when he heard this, and his whole temperament seemed to have some changes, and his tone suddenly became high-pitched.

Azul replied solemnly, "This man must have been heard of by everyone present, he is the former god of the Capua Arena, and now the freeman is Gannix. ”

"It's him! Didn't he revolt with Spartacus? In the arena fire, I could clearly see that he was also in that game. Graeber asked confidently.

"General, you're right. In fact, the time he participated in the competitive competition, Gannix also participated because he was invited by me. Originally, we were all about my master, Batitas, to use the power of Ganix to destroy more of the Sauronis gladiators. ”

"But who would have thought that under Jin Zhan's tandem, these thieves would actually be complicit. But Gannix didn't join them, knowing that he was a free commoner rewarded by the magistrate himself. ”

"After the chaos began, he quietly found an opportunity to leave the arena, and in addition to this person, I can also introduce several equally powerful and excellent gladiators to General Ni, because they were born slaves, they can easily blend into the ranks of the rebels, and kill them in a dream while Jin Zhan and other generals are resting."

"If General Graeber has the capacity to recruit this mighty and legendary gladiator into the army, regardless of his past suspicions, I think it will be the rebels who need to tremble."

Graeber laughed and exclaimed, "Very good, fantastic." Azul as long as you can accomplish the plan you are talking about. No, as long as you succeed in recruiting a few people under my command to carry out this plan, I will quickly promote you and give you a force of several hundred men. ”

Azul smiled faintly and bowed down to receive the order.

The young and vigorous general next to him couldn't stand Asur's villainous appearance, and said angrily: "General, but isn't the key question now how can we safely withdraw under this adversity?" ”

Asur glanced at him and said disdainfully: "The general has raised a group of wine bags and rice bags on weekdays, which is really a drag on his image of being wise and martial." Do you understand a strong man's broken wrist? Wouldn't it be better for the general and part of the troops to evacuate from this place first, and then leave some personnel to guard the camp and hold back the pace of the rebel army? ”

As soon as these words came out, the rest of the generals were filled with righteous indignation. Who doesn't know that staying in this area is definitely a dead end. The whole army relied on the superiority of numbers, and the rebel army might not dare to mess up all at once. And if the troops are divided to fight, the people who remain will obviously become outcasts, and no one wants to send themselves and their subordinates to death in vain.

Now, however, Graeber is bent on Azul's undercover decapitation plan. There is no longer much obsession about whether it can preserve the army as much as possible.

As long as you can finally defeat the rebels, you can slowly make up for what you have lost. So he looked at everyone noncommittally, and his compelling eyes made the generals in the camp all rise a trace of sadness.

After a while, Graeber said to an elderly general with a little regret: "This time I will ask you to carry out the task of breaking the post, you must mobilize all the soldiers left behind to fight hard, and delay our army for at least 1~2 days." ”

"You reassure all the soldiers who stayed behind that their families in Capua and the surrounding areas will be taken care of by me, Graeber."

These indifferent words made everyone present feel sad that the rabbit was dead and the fox was sad. The old instructor lowered his head helplessly.

How could he not understand the meaning of Graeber's words? If those who remained behind dared to flee or surrender at will, their families would be retaliated against by Graeber. What can they do under this naked threat?

In the early morning after the Great War, there was a mist in the air. In a low-visibility environment, the army covering Graeber evacuated the camp in batches. 7. The sight of the troops with less ammunition than one pound was seriously obstructed, and they could not clearly grasp the movements in the enemy's large camp.

Therefore, when the main force of the rebel army was corrected and came to the camp of Roma in high spirits, Graeber and the others had already retreated in disgrace. At this time, most of the people who remained were the old, weak, sick and disabled, as well as some slaves and miscellaneous servants.
