In addition to money and food, there are two extremely important incomes, the same is weapons and equipment.

Weapons are rare in this era, most of Zhao Yu's troops are adult males, and some of them are not armed, and the previous weapons harvest can be replenished and consumed, and the quality is there, and it will be broken if it doesn't take two battles.

Now, the dead navy and city guards, city warehouses and naval camps, a total of more than 600 sets of usable equipment, as well as a large number of long-range weapons such as spears and arrows (city defense materials), and even more than 100 clay pots of fire oil!

With these, Zhao Yu's armed forces expanded again, and there were 1,400 people!

There is also one more powerful armament than weapons, that is, horses, there are more than 400 horses of all kinds in the city, Zhao Yu asked Leoni to gather up, train, and train 400 gladiators into cavalry! (Gladiator also has a few additions!) ）

The last and most important thing is the population resources.

Zhao Yu's troops totaled 2,700 people, all of whom were loyal party members who had been brainwashed for at least two months (in fact, some of them had nowhere to go and were not highly conscious), and the armed forces were just like that, and they still fled when they encountered a large army.

Well, now more than 2,000 slaves in the city of Bizerte have been freed! These are all high-quality soldiers and labor, and they can be used with confidence!

In fact, the hearts of these slaves are confused, the enemy did not slaughter and loot when they entered the city, but they were suddenly free, and some of them were still at a loss, not knowing how to live without their masters. Freedom is too foreign to them.

Fortunately, the most awesome thing about our party is brainwashing, Zhao Yu announced the liberation of all slaves on the first day of occupation, and held a welcome party that night, and the rich food that was snatched was put there, and the old party members shared it on the stage, and the tears of these slaves flowed down, and their mouths were stuffed with food and cried about the atrocities of their masters (no also made up!). It means that the Communist Party is good! Turn over and be the master! Liberate the slaves of all Rome! Let's raise our hands and feet in approval!

The next day, a criticism meeting was held, and those slave owners and officials were tied up in the city center, and they were tried one by one, and the slaves below reported their evil deeds one after another, and then these bitter masters were tried, and one was counted as one, and all of them were slaughtered by the people!

Even some ordinary citizens also joined the trial, and the small people of Shengdou were usually not bullied, and they would die when they caught the opportunity!

With these moves, even if the big city of Bisse is recovered, it is a dead end for these slaves to stay, and they can only get on Zhao Yu's chariot, and life and death are up to him.

Zhao Yu still thinks that this number is not enough, during this period when there is no foreign enemy, let Leoni go out of the city, encircle and suppress the surrounding farms, liberate the slaves among them, in three days, gather as much as you can, and earn more!

It is useless to attack the encirclement and suppression farm with the strength of gladiators, they are not the outcasts before, they are fully equipped, they can solve a battle with almost one round of spear throwing, three days later, Leoni returned with a lot of gladiators, and at the same time returned with hundreds of carts of grain, poultry and other supplies, as well as more than 3,000 slaves full of purses. (There are more slaves outside the city than inside the city, the main labor force)

In this way, the slave army in the city instantly reached the scale of nearly 9,000 people, plus some hard labor and citizens who had a hard time, the number exceeded 10,000!

Zhao Yu implemented the policy of bringing the old with the new, and each of the original more than 2,000 party members had to lead three or four new people to explain to them the great goals and principles of the Communist Party.

And every day to group to open a criticism and sharing conference, the new slaves to participate in more than two a day, reminiscing bittersweet, fully understand the superiority of the Communist Party, and Zhao Yu incarnated as the best lecturer, does not belong to the eloquence and vision of this era, completely fooled these illiterates, one by one eager to immediately liberate their compatriots, and fight with the evil Roman Empire!

At the same time, it is necessary to increase the intensity of armament, there are only 1,000 armed people in the 10,000-person army, Zhao Yu is not satisfied! If you want to do it, you can do it best!

So the dozen or so blacksmiths in the city were on fire, and the masters worked hard to paste materials and manpower, and they had to teach the slaves the craft, and they had to produce 24 hours a day, and they could be armed with one more, and they chose the simplest armament, such as wooden shields, and spears, a combination of wooden sticks and spearheads, which were fast and economical.

Such days lasted for more than half a month, and the gladiator scouts scattered around the city brought bad news, and the five hundred garrison brigades that had fled were brought in for help, and a regular Roman army came, and it would be possible to reach the great city of Bizerte in one day at most!

Now at this time, the team is basically stable, but it has not yet been run into the best state, and it still needs time to brainwash and stabilize, so it is not possible to abandon the city and escape, Zhao Yu convened a meeting of the veteran leaders, and unanimously agreed to defend the city and do a wave, isn't it just a regular army and a brigade? Isn't it just an army of 3,000 men?

Everyone was in full swing to prepare to defend the city, Zhao Yu instructed some of China's advanced ideas for defending the city, and everyone was fascinated by the listening, saying that they promised to rely on the four-meter-high city wall, so that an enemy could not come up!

Zhao Yu used his brains again, using the materials in his hands, and let the slaves go out of the city to dig a fine ditch, as long as it is five centimeters deep, two fingers wide, the bottom is compact, and it is difficult to ensure water seepage.

As for why it is in Xicheng, it is because the original military camp is in Xicheng, Zhao Yu did not burn it, the first target of the army is probably there, and the first target of attack is naturally the West City Gate.

A day later, the army arrived, and they expanded their camp five miles from Xicheng, and at the same time sent messengers to demand the unconditional surrender of Zhao Yu and other reactionaries.

Zhao Yu stripped the messenger and drove it out, in order to show his determination to defend the city, five hundred armed forces went up to the city wall and began to set up defenses, the walls of this small city can only accommodate these people.

There was no action in the army that day, everyone spent a night without incident, Zhao Yu had no intention of going to the night attack, the other party must be alert on the first night, and there are too few people on his side, don't be beaten if the night attack fails, it is better to defend the city.

The next day did not fight, it should be said, there was no battle for the next week, the other party was cutting trees on the side of the military camp to make siege equipment (that is, a long ladder), Zhao Yu watched, there was no way, but to keep drilling, and at the same time strengthen the city defense.

On the eighth day, the Roman soldiers finally moved, and as soon as the day dawned, they lined up in a shield array, carrying a long ladder towards the western gate!

"MMP, you're finally here!" Zhao Yu, who was called up by the guards, stared at the bottom in full armor and scolded viciously: "Look at Lao Tzu to set a trap for you!" It's really when there are not many of us, it's easy to bully! ”
