The system has to be used even if it is pulled

Chapter 4: The Siege of Capua (Part )

In 315 BC, in the hills and mountains of central Italy, the newly born Roman Republic and the Samnites were engaged in a protracted war. In order to seize the initiative, the two consuls Laertus and Rutulus decided to lead their army to war.

The latest war report was sent back to Rome: their army had suffered a disastrous defeat, Consul Rutulus was captured by the Samnites, and the remaining forces of Consul Reinus were besieged in Capua. The Senate issued an emergency alert: every suitable man should quickly arm himself and go to help the soldiers in Capua.

The tribune Gaius Frius Silanus, an officer in charge of the garrison at the Tarasina granaries, led his troops in response to this emergency mobilization.

The host's main task: completely destroy the Samnites and kill the Samnites' archon. Completing the task will reward the host with three advanced draws; if the host fails, he will be eliminated.

Secondary objective: Obtain 1000 points of Faith Power. Complete the task to unlock character attributes.

Welfare tasks: For every three legion commanders, commanders or consuls killed, you will be rewarded with an advanced lottery draw, for every 30 centurions killed, you will get an intermediate lottery draw, and for every 1000 people killed, you will get a primary lottery draw.

The benefits are pretty good. I don't know what I can get from the lottery. Extra lottery, this is like being a murderer. But it's a bit annoying to be wiped out if you fail. It seems that the main task must be completed.

Zhao Yuanlang's eyes blurred and he inexplicably appeared in the marching army. Zhao Yuanlang touched his face and found his nose was really big. Then he looked at his shoulder-length hair. It seemed that the system was really magical. His body was still his body and his height was still the same, but his appearance and hairstyle had changed. It was really magical.

"Lants, you work harder. I estimate that I can retire after this war. The centurion will be yours from now on." The centurion next to Zhao Yuanlang said to Zhao Yuanlang.

"Oh, I really hope Rome can send more reinforcements for this war." Zhao Yuanlang had already read the introduction and said with some disinterest, "You're called Langtes again, system, you're poisonous."

The centurion smiled and said, "Okay, don't think too much. We'll be arriving at Capua soon. Cheer up, we're going to have a big fight with those Samnite mountain barbarians."

Zhao Yuanlang remained silent, looking at the army in formation in front of him. He found that every soldier had a solemn expression and was in high spirits. They advanced slowly and silently in the formation.

Zhao Yuanlang was free and waved the Roman dagger. It was really light. The shield in his hand was okay, quite solid and heavy. When the battle started, he would just swing the shield and smash around, which would be definitely powerful enough.

Just as Zhao Yuanlang was sighing, several people sent out by Silanus to investigate came back and whispered something to Silanus.

Silanus conveyed the order to the trumpeter beside him, and the trumpeter beside him quickly blew the horn to speed up the march.

It seems to be the first small plot. The Roman defenders in the village ahead are surrounded by the Samnites, and they have to go to rescue them.

After passing through a large area of ​​low bushes, the Roman defenders in the village were surrounded by the Samnite army. Fortunately, the Samnite army was not too large and their number was slightly larger than the village guards. The Samnites in the village also discovered the situation and drew out two teams of soldiers to form a defensive formation.

Silanus ordered his trumpeter to blow the attack horn, and led his men to rush towards the Samnites in the village. Fortunately, this is a game. The real Roman army would never fight like this, Zhao Yuanlang couldn't help but complain.

The centurion Zhao Yuanlang was in was ordered to hunt down the Samnite commander and two teams of slingers on the hill. Seeing that people around him were constantly being knocked to the ground by stones, the centurion ordered them to form a tortoise shell formation and slowly marched towards the army on the hill.

Zhao Yuanlang held up the shield and listened to the sound of stones hitting the shield around him, feeling helpless.

Getting closer and closer, the two armies were less than 30 meters apart. The enemy launched a charge. Damn, could their slingshot troops counterattack?

"For Rome!" With the centurion's shout, the tortoise shell formation quickly withdrew and the armies of both sides fought together.

For Zhao Yuanlang, everything was simple. He waved the shield in his hand and knocked a slinger who rushed up to him to the ground. Then he accurately stabbed the second slinger with the Roman dagger in his hand.

Zhao Yuanlang lowered his head to avoid the sweeping sword, then kicked an enemy behind him away, and then swept with his backhand, and the three enemies who were originally charging fell to the ground, holding their throats.

It was like a tiger entering a flock of sheep. In the end, Zhao Yuanlang simply gave up the dagger in his hand and swung his shield around and smashed it wildly.

Originally, because Zhao Yuanlang was tall, there were a lot of enemy soldiers gathered together and several of them were knocked away at once, and several people behind him were knocked down as well.

Zhao Yuanlang ignored all this, roared, picked up another shield on the ground, rushed towards the local general hiding behind him, waving the shield in his hand repeatedly.

The enemy soldiers were either hit or knocked to the ground. Zhao Yuanlang looked at the heavily guarded enemy commander in front of him and swung his shield fiercely. The huge force made the soldiers defending the enemy commander fall to the ground one after another. They looked at Zhao Yuanlang in horror as he killed everyone.

The enemy commander looked at Zhao Yuanlang, who was covered in blood and grinning, and wanted to escape. However, Zhao Yuanlang smashed him to the ground with his shield, and used his other shield as a knife to press down hard. With a snap, the commander's neck was broken and he lay on the ground twitching.

Zhao Yuanlang waved his shield to disperse the enemies who wanted to avenge their commander, then picked up the dagger on the ground, cut off the local commander's head, and held it high.

The enemy's morale dropped rapidly after the death of their leader, and seeing Zhao Yuanlang holding the leader's head and covered in blood, they were defeated. Everyone ran away.

Zhao Yuanlang hung the enemy commander's head on his waist and was about to chase the deserters, but was stopped by the centurion, who told him to deal with the enemies in the village first.

Zhao Yuanlang reluctantly returned to the queue and marched quickly towards the village.

Everything was simple. When the enemy learned that their commander had died, their morale dropped rapidly. They were besieged from front and back and were soon killed. Zhao Yuanlang only got the head of a centurion.

After resting the troops, Silanus obtained two teams of half-crippled sword and shield soldiers and two teams of fully-staffed slingers. Silanus decided to combine the two teams of half-crippled sword and shield soldiers into one, and then suddenly walked to Zhao Yuanlang and shouted to the soldiers around him: "Everyone can see Lantus's bravery. I decide to appoint you as the centurion of this team of sword and shield soldiers. Do you have any objections?"

The people around were silent because they had all witnessed Zhao Yuanlang's cruelty, and there were the heads of a commander and a centurion hanging on Zhao Yuanlang's waist.

Seeing that the soldiers around him had no objections, Silanus put his helmet on Zhao Yuanlang's head and said, "Come on, Langtes, I'm rooting for you."

Zhao Yuanlang was promoted accidentally. Although he was happy, he still had to save face. He said with a serious face, "For Rome."

Silanus patted Zhao Yuanlang on the shoulder, turned around and shouted to the soldiers around him: "Soldiers, listen up, we must fight back. The captives just now also said that the Samnites have begun to attack. We have no way to stop them, but their siege weapons do not have many people to defend. Our mission is to destroy their siege weapons and support the friendly forces outside the city! Long live Rome!"

"Long live Rome!"
