Augustus Road

So, although the legion commander Lepidus left the city, the great Cyrene businessman Ambrose came back. He came to the Temple of the Goddess of Virtue, looked at Claudius who was being rescued with an expression of pity, and then lightly He said softly to him, "You have been working as a tribune in Rome for too long. This street gangster's tactics are simply not going to work."

"That's because the opponent has hundreds of fierce gladiators, and they definitely have a plan." Claudius said unconvinced.

But after all, half of the reason why Claudius suffered such a disastrous defeat was because of himself. Lepidus was still determined to help him, and told him his plan, "It is not difficult to destroy Capua School, but the key is that I need to know what is behind the scenes. Who is instructing Niella?”

"Probably that bastard Terry Ali!" Claudius said with a certain tone.

Well, it’s really this guy who was originally sent to work as an undercover agent inside Pompey’s camp. But this bastard took his own money and became a tribune with Pompey’s support. Then he showed his face. It is also one of the few examples of investment failure. It is said that in today's street fight, Niela's side also used the Legion's fighting swords and javelins, so the probability of Pompeo's support behind the scenes is probably 70 to 80%. Since the death of Crassus, the distance between the two monsters has become more and more distant. Pompey not only took back the legions, but also tried to control the street politics of the city of Rome, because in his eyes, Claudius had always been This guy is regarded as Caesar's agent: It stands to reason that this bastard is qualified enough to seek a higher level, but he has still stayed in the position of tribune for several years. He has made it clear that he uses this special and powerful status to serve Caesar was devoted to "keeping power" in the city - so Pompey supported Triari and used gladiators and veterans to enrich his team of thugs. Now the tribunes and the Tribunals seemed to be split into two parties , fighting each other bloody, Ostia River Port and Mount Avendine are Claudius's sphere of influence, he won the support of gangsters and the people; but Triali has recently been in Mount Vilia and Mount Palatine Rapidly rising, many nobles hated the Populist Party. Send manor gladiators to serve in his service.

In the duel between the two heroes, Claudius won by quantity, while Trialli won by quality.

Then Claudius said that there was someone named Ignatius recently. He abandoned the governor on the battlefield in Syria and returned to Rome, where he was impeached miserably and lost his political future. So he simply took off his military uniform and threw himself into the arms of Pompey, becoming one of his powerful thugs and an assistant to Terry Alli, "as loyal as a veteran of the reserve army following the commander of the legion." This is the name of a certain gangster. Evaluation words.

"Then you can have an advantage over the opponent by combining numbers with elites. This requires some small changes. The goal remains the same, which is set at the gladiator school in Capua." Lepidah looked around The groaning wounded man smiled and encouraged everyone.

The soldiers selected to participate in the triumphal ceremony erected their tents in an orderly manner and camped at the Porta Printina. They did not cross the furrow sanctuary, and erected wooden fences and wooden gates around the perimeter, with a small camp outside. They made a good impression on the Roman citizens. The soldiers never went to the market to gamble or drink, nor did they go to the market to gamble or drink. Calling prostitutes randomly means calling in both dealers and prostitutes. The price was negotiated very amicably, without any quarrels or confusion. This was almost the best army the Roman citizens had seen since the days of Sulla's dictatorship, and their evaluation of Caesar and the commanders also increased. But what the citizens don't know is a group of senior centurions. He had changed into civilian clothes and secretly infiltrated into the Claudius stronghold of the Temple of Virtue.

About four days later, the Claudian attack on the Capua Gladiator School resumed. This time Niela laughed after hearing the news. Still, three hundred people wearing all kinds of weird helmets, holding murderous weapons, with half-body exposed and protruding muscles blocked the main alleyway leading to the school.

The school itself is like a fortress, and it has been run by Niela for many years. Its rows of arcade doors are built very low, and the gladiator dormitories inside are all bungalow-like, like a lying turtle, so Niera's plan was simple. As long as he sealed the alleyway, relying on the gladiators' hand-to-hand combat skills and placing a replacement team of two hundred people behind, it would be more than enough to deal with this ragtag group of people.

But when the Claudians reappeared this time, their equipment was completely different. These gangsters in the first few rows were all wearing legionary locks, some were breastplates, and they were all holding wicker sticks. The shields shouted trumpets and moved forward. The prostitutes and musicians were responsible for playing flutes and adjusting the formation. The people behind were holding high sharpened tree trunks, similar to spears, and slowly pressed down the alley.

The naked gladiators wearing visors and helmets were stunned. They were in a mess, showing their weapons, waving swords, flails, and harpoons. Then someone threw a wire fishing net at the Claudius party coming from the front. Many people exclaimed immediately, because the last time the gladiators threw this thing, they tied up a group of people in the narrow alley, and everyone was crowded together, and many were hacked to death and stabbed. As a result, someone in this crowd "beeped" and gave an order with a whistle, and the two rows in the front immediately stacked their wicker shields high, and several wire fishing nets were smashed on the wicker shields, tearing each other perfectly. Then the Claudius party shouted in unison and threw all the shields on the ground. Then dozens of long wooden spears in front of them were pointed in all directions. The gladiators were horrified, but before they could react to how to deal with the spear forest, the "circumvention force" of the Claudius party rushed over. They bribed the tenants on both sides of the alley with money, and then climbed up to the rooftop. Some opened the narrow windows, poured lime, rice oil, and pepper into the pottery jars, drilled holes in the lids in advance, and used long flax to make fuses. After lighting them, they smashed them down on their heads. The 300 gladiators were almost destroyed in an instant. The thick smoke, flames, and extremely terrifying irritating gases made them fall to the ground, covering their faces and kicking their legs and screaming. Some of them were covered in blood, rolling on fire, and even many unprotected people on the Claudius party fled in the opposite direction.

However, the "elite" vanguard of Claudius' party was not afraid. They were all covered with thick protective cloth from head to toe, like mummies made of the pharaoh's body. They were densely packed, stepping on the corpses of the gladiators lying in all directions, and rushed through the smoke and fireworks to the front of the school, to the rectangular open training ground between the arcade door and the playground. As a result, someone in the queue blew a whistle, and the Claudius party stayed where they were and did not pursue further.
