The system has to be used even if it is pulled

After the Battle of Vesuvius, when the news of victory reached Rome, the Senate and the people were overjoyed, deeply shocked and inspired.

There had never been such loud cheers in the military camp, resounding through the sky. Everyone's eyes were filled with hope, and everyone had the confidence to defeat the Samnites.

Zhao Yuanlang also successfully obtained the head of a legionary commander and six centurion heads. Outstanding achievements!

But there was no time to rejoice. Although the Samnite army was wiped out, the Samnite consul was furious and quickly sent out another full army from the base camp.

However, the Senate did not want to allow Silanus to rest his troops and replenish his soldiers, but urged him to attack Salerno and take back the territory occupied by the Samnites.

Zhao Yuanlang looked at the soldiers training outside and said to Silanus, "Some of the Senate were blinded by victory and actually ordered an attack on Salerno. We do not have an advantage in terms of military strength."

"Lantes! Be careful with your words and never guess the intentions of the Senate. Although there are many defenders in Salerno, we can still defeat them." Silanus looked at Zhao Yuanlang seriously.

"Okay, okay." Zhao Yuanlang replied lazily with a laugh.

......

Campania region, Salerno, the place of Rome's ally. Ever since it was captured by the Samnites, the Senate has always been coveting this prosperous town and has been claiming that Salerno is Rome's lost territory.

Salerno may not have particularly high walls, but the Samnites have two and a half naval units and a garrison of more than 2600 people. Fortunately, the two and a half naval units are ranged troops and all of them are new recruits. Although the rowers are used as slingers, the total number of enemy troops, including the rowers, is only close to .

Silanus had only one and a half legions, which numbered only about 2000 men, but they were all veterans with outstanding achievements. They also had five cavalry units, so they had a good chance of victory.

In terms of troop deployment, Silanus divided the troops into three parts, with the cavalry led by Zhao Yuanlang attacking from the east coast. Not only was the road smooth, but the naval forces that were preparing to land would also be able to be quickly defeated.

There was no way one town could accommodate so many ships, and the half-strength navy that wanted to help had to stop at the east coast and abandon their ships.

Silanus himself led ten teams of troops and two teams of slingers to attack from the front, while the rest of the troops, led by the vanguard general, attacked from the west, directly attacking their naval forces stationed in the port.

As the horn sounded, the troops began to march. Zhao Yuanlang looked at the sun in the east. It was a good sun rise. He would use the sunlight to launch an attack, which would greatly disrupt their long-range troops.

The war began, and with Silanus's order, his soldiers swarmed towards Salerno.

The enemy's half-navy did indeed land on the east coast. Zhao Yuanlang and his cavalry quietly stayed in the woods by the sea, watching the enemy's navy regroup and rush towards the town.

A good opportunity is now. Taking advantage of the moment when the enemy has his back to him, Zhao Yuanlang decisively launched an attack.

Each cavalry team formed into a cone formation and rushed towards the Samnite navy in the distance.

The naval forces that were originally marching towards the town, after seeing the cavalry, their commander tried to boost morale and rearrange the formation.

But these were new recruits after all, and most of them were rowers. If you want to shoot in the sun, you're dreaming. It won't blind you.

The result was obvious: the entire cavalry unit broke through the enemy's entire line in the first charge, and then turned around to prepare for the second charge.

The enemy seemed to be frightened, and many recruits began to flee the battlefield. After the second round of charge, all the enemies wished they had two more legs so they could flee as quickly as possible.

Looking at his cavalrymen who were scattered around collecting heads, Zhao Yuanlang signaled his troops to regroup and prepare to attack the Salerno army in the city.

Although there were still many enemy troops in the city, the other small troops were useless in front of the cavalry when the large army was entangled. Zhao Yuanlang also quickly cleared the navy in the town's port.

After hearing the news, the enemy commander of Salerno took decisive action and led more than 300 elite troops to retreat to the Great Temple by the sea, relying on the terrain to block the attack.

At this time, it was unrealistic to rely on cavalry charge. Although there were three roads to attack the Great Temple, they were all beaches. The only solid land in front of the temple was covered with barricades. The only way was to rely on human piles.

As time went by, all the enemy troops around the Great Temple were eliminated, leaving only more than a hundred enemy defenders hiding in the Great Temple.

But there was only one entrance to the great temple, and the door was blocked from the inside, so the army couldn't get in at all.

As one team after another returned in defeat, Silanus couldn't help but feel anxious. Zhao Yuanlang looked at the anxious Silanus and said, "I have a way to get in. But I need someone who is good at it."

Silanus looked at Zhao Yuanlang in surprise and said, "What do you need?"

Zhao Yuanlang pointed at the Samnite warships in the distance. Silanus was confused and didn't know what Zhao Yuanlang wanted.

"That's what I need, the main pole of the front sail!" Zhao Yuanlang said with a smile.

Silanus stared at Zhao Yuanlang in amazement, looked him up and down several times and asked, "Do you really want that thing?"

"Otherwise, you need a battering ram to get in, but you have nowhere to find one now, so you can only use that thing."

"Can you lift it? That mast weighs nearly a thousand pounds."

Zhao Yuanlang laughed loudly: "Just wait and see, you just do it."

As Silanus' men took down the mast, a group of people grunted and carried it over.

Zhao Yuanlang slowly exerted his strength, the air in his body flowed faster, then Zhao Yuanlang lifted up the mast, and the people around him dropped their eyes in shock.

As Zhao Yuanlang slowly began to walk, faster and faster, and finally began to jog, people only heard a dull sound. The gate of the entire great temple shook several times.

The people who had just picked up the eyes from the ground had to look for them again, because they were shocked out again.

The enemy troops in the great temple were in a panic. The previous attack had shaken out many of the things behind the door.

Many people went over to hold the gate, hoping that it would be stronger and could not be breached.

To be honest, Zhao Yuanlang's hands were a little numb. He dropped the mast, shook his hands, and picked it up again.

With a loud shout, he rushed towards the door. With a clang, the door was opened with a gap as big as a head. An unlucky guy who was holding the door was knocked out and hit a large area. There was no need to think about it, this guy was definitely dead.

Zhao Yuanlang paused for a while, then launched a third charge. The entire gate could no longer withstand the impact from the beasts.

The door was shattered. The enemy behind the door only saw a huge figure holding a mast rushing into the hall, and the mast nailed their commander to death under the seat of the statue of Zeus.

That's so miserable, it's hard to see that the whole head is intact.
