Chapter 3 West of the City: The Colosseum
Chapter 3: The Colosseum
Although Li Yuxuan has only known Ye Feng for a song, Ye Feng has left too many surprises, starting from Feng Qiuhuang, to coveting the beauty, to insisting on leaving despite the beauty's invitation, these all make people feel that Ye Feng is very human.
"Miss, is this Ye Gongzi crazy, it's the first time I've seen Miss invite someone who doesn't move. The girl was still pretty, and her face was full of surprise.
"Very personable, very personable. The princess sighed, her face furrowed slightly, and sorrow appeared, and her hands began to stroke the harp, and she said softly: "This is not the first time. â
The moment the piano sounded, Li Yuxuan felt a kind of bitter lovesickness from the sound of the piano, got the answer he wanted, turned around and shouted: "Brother Ye, wait, I was deceived by you twice today, I have to drink your wine, I will accompany you to take a look." Li Yuxuan jumped down and chased after the flowers.
"Haha...... Brother Yuxuan, I just offended the royal capital city defense team, aren't you afraid that I will affect you?" Ye Feng stopped when he heard this, turned around and smiled.
"Brother Ye is chivalrous, he naturally knows the virtues of the city defense team, so what's wrong with offending, am I still afraid of those smiling paper tigers?" Li Yuxuan had no scruples, caught up with Ye Feng, and said, "I think Brother Ye is afraid that someone in the west of the city will suffer, right?"
"Yes, when did the city defense team go out and someone didn't want to destroy someone? Ye Feng's face was angry, and his pace gradually accelerated.
The west of the city was originally a civilian area, but there was a famous building outside the civilian area, called the Colosseum. It is a typical circular building, the largest slave trading market on the continent, the Colosseum is a place for slaves to show their strength, and it is also a place for princes and nobles to have fun, full of infinite blood and bestiality, and how many slaves' blood and tears have been shed.
To Ye Feng's surprise, he didn't see the city defense team all the way west, it seems that this time it was not the civilians who suffered, but the slaves. Although slave riots have not been common over the years, it is no wonder that the city defense team is so nervous.
When the two of them saw the Colosseum, Marseille's Colosseum was in shambles, smeared with scarlet blood at the gate, and the city defense team and the Colosseum's guards tightly surrounded the Colosseum entrance, but they retreated step by step. The slaves with their bare hands, only a few slaves picked up all kinds of weapons from the dead, and with a fierce breath, they stretched the encirclement alive and allowed more slaves to participate in the battle.
This is basically a suburb of the city, compared to the city, the surrounding area is much more empty, there is more than one road to the Colosseum, and there are teams passing along the road.
As more and more troops were combined, and the command became more and more effective, the slave rebellion was gradually suppressed, and a circle was maintained and no longer expanded. However, the battle continued, with more and more dead on both sides, and more and more weapons of the slaves, and slowly it became impossible to suppress the onslaught of the slaves.
At this time, the slaves suddenly made a gap, so that the besieging team was stunned, and the opponent who was fighting suddenly retreated, a little overwhelmed, and instinctively chased in, so that the originally perfect defensive array instantly had a loophole.
A procession of slaves suddenly rushed out of the gate, like wild beasts breaking out of a cage, with unbladed swords, screaming and killing. The heavy sword is much wider and heavier than the standard longsword, and in the hands of a group of fierce slaves, cutting on the armor can directly shock the warriors inside the armor to death.
"The cavalry is ready to storm. â
Li Yuxuan and Ye Feng got closer and realized that the commander was originally the captain of the city defense team, and with the captain yelling, a group of soldiers withdrew from the besieging team, turned over their horses, and formed a cavalry team in a short time.
The situation suddenly changed, and if a gap was opened in the encirclement, the thousands of fierce slaves inside could bury the besieged team. The captain reacted quickly and organized a cavalry charge, hoping to contain the new force that the slaves had been planning for a long time.
"The captain who commanded the cavalry was very powerful, and now that the gap had not yet been opened, the cavalry had enough time to charge, and it was completely possible to suppress it, and it seemed that the ranks of the slaves were about to fall short. Li Yuxuan sighed regretfully and slowed down.
"I don't think so, the Colosseum dungeon is very large, and there are nearly 10,000 slaves in it. The slave rebellion was obviously organized, and this impact was a sudden peak, but how do you know that there was no continuous impact?" Ye Feng retorted.
"Yes, the commander of the slave team is also a master, and he can command the scattered slaves in a narrow place in an orderly manner, and it seems that there is a great hope of success, but it is too late, have you forgotten the Shangdu Corps stationed outside Marseille City?" Li Yuxuan said with some regret, and turned to look at a group of cavalry roaring from a distance.
This is a regular army stationed outside the city of Marseille, standard equipment, strict discipline, and the smell of iron and blood is very strong. Ye Feng looked at the army in a daze, and said gloomily: "When will we end this cruel and inhuman slavery system?"
"It is reasonable to save zĂ i, and in this age of great power, no one can put an end to the slave trade. Moreover, those in high positions will not consider abolishing the slave system, and the survival of slaves can also solve some internal problems in the kingdom. Li Yuxuan's eyes burned, and his eyes passed with the past of the army.
The ranks of slaves who rushed out were quite fierce, obviously carefully selected, and when the big sword arrived, flesh and blood flew sideways, and instantly puffed out part of the encirclement. There was no shortage of circles, they could be retracted like balloons, and the ranks of slaves fought all the way through, stretching the circles, and seeing that the gap was about to appear, the sound of horses' hooves sounded.
The slaves trampled on the bones on the ground, and the constantly replenishing team picked up the weapons on the ground, and the momentum was like a rainbow and the cavalry team collided. In an instant, people turn on their backs, the sound of swords and armor colliding, the sound of swords entering the flesh that makes people's teeth ache, the roars and screams, and the sound of bodies hitting the ground, form a symphony of yearning for freedom. Under the heroic song, the slaves and warriors fight selflessly, in the blood, in the sunset, showing hell on earth.
As Li Yuxuan expected, because the slave team was not equipped with long weapons to defend against cavalry charges, and there were no barriers to defend against cavalry charges, the opened circle was re-suppressed, and in just a few minutes, more than a hundred cavalry teams were exhausted, leaving more than twice as many slave corpses as possible.
As Ye Feng expected, another team of slaves rushed out of the gate, and the even more fierce slaves were blood-red, stepping on the soft corpses and still running like flying.
This is the real killer feature, Li Yuxuan and Ye Feng both thought of it, but unfortunately, the army was already pressing on the periphery step by step, and the circle surrounded inside had already completed its mission, and it was retreating step by step, and the elite team that rushed out chased after the retreating team.
Perhaps, it was because the rescue had arrived, and the whole team had slackened, perhaps because it was struggling to resist, and it was now the end of the crossbow, or perhaps it was because the team of slaves was too strong. The team that once desperately besieged and blocked the slaves from breaking through is now like stragglers, slaughtered by the slaves.
At this moment, there was a strange cry from inside the Colosseum, and the ranks of slaves retreated like a tide, so disciplined that they were like well-trained troops.
The Shangdu Corps did not come in a few thousand people, but it tightly surrounded all the exits of the Colosseum, the steel shields were in a circle, the archers behind had already formed a formation, and the war horses were waiting on the periphery. The formation was in order, as if a bloody repression was about to begin.
