Roman Slave Owner

Chapter 322 Reinforcements

At the same time, he kept cursing the rebels, the damn mouse-like slaves, who would only run around in the mountains, so that he couldn't even take a bath.

At this moment, a faint dog barking came from outside.

This made Fowles vigilant, what's going on?

Is the enemy coming to sneak attack?

He hurriedly dressed and was about to go out when a guard rushed in.

The big thing is not good, the enemy has attacked.

What did you say? It's impossible?

Fowles said with a look of horror.

Aren't those slaves being chased around like rats all the time?

How dare they sneak attack?

Quick, let's go out and have a look.

Fowles rushed out with the soldiers.

At this time, there was already a lot of killing outside, and the figures of slaves were everywhere.

Those soldiers were besieged by slaves many times larger than themselves.

Some villagers joined the fight, but were quickly killed by the slaves, by this time some gladiators had come to kill them.

Withdraw! Quickly withdraw!

Fowles said.

Some soldiers escorted him to escape, but there were too many slaves.

No matter how they fought, those slaves killed more and more.

In the end, his soldiers became fewer and fewer, and those slaves and gladiators looked at him with greed in their eyes.

I am Spartacus, as long as you surrender, I can guarantee your safety.

Spartacus killed a soldier beside him with a sword, and said to Fowles.

Fowles looked desperate, what should he do? Is he going to surrender to some slaves?

No! Never do this!

In this way, the honor of the family will be tarnished, and he will also become the object of ridicule by everyone.

You bloody slaves, I would rather die than fall into your hands.

After speaking, Fowles wiped his neck fiercely with the sword, a lot of blood flowed out from his throat, and Fowles' body also fell down.

Seeing this, Spartacus was extremely disappointed. It seemed that the Romans would not give in easily.

At this moment, a gladiator ran over.

The soldiers in the barracks have left the camp and are coming here.

It's great that we just wiped them out in one fell swoop.

Spartacus said with a laugh.

There was a smile on everyone's face. If they couldn't shrink back, they really had nothing to do with this Roman army.

So Spartacus joined Onomamus and launched a siege on the Roman army.

Because the enemy's situation was unknown in the middle of the night, this Roman army thought it was ambushed by the enemy's main force, and was finally defeated. A large number of Roman soldiers fled into the mountains. time.

With the exception of a few successful escapes,

Most were either killed or surrendered, and after a celebration Spartacus led them in pursuit in Serabio's direction.

How's the situation here?

Spartacus asked.

It's quite satisfactory, without any bright spots. Serabio sent a large number of soldiers to scout the terrain and stop as soon as they encountered a possible ambush site. This made his army march slowly and couldn't catch up with me at all.

Castus spread his hands and said.

Serabio hasn't fought a war, he must have been taught to do it.

Spartacus said with a smile. At this time, everyone looked relaxed, and they all felt that they had won.

Then what should we do?

someone asked.

The news of the defeat of the Roman army must have reached him. He must have been terrified. We must not let him escape.

Spartacus said with a smile.

In fact, Spartacus guessed right. At this time, Serabio was really scared, and the news of Fowles' defeat had already passed.

Although there was no news from Cosinius, Serabio always had a bad feeling.

What should I do? Whether to continue to pursue the enemy or retreat.

He remembered that Li Wei said that if things were not going well, he would retreat decisively, and he would send someone to respond.

Thinking of this, he made up his mind.

So he called all the centurions together, and at that moment a soldier ran in.

Reporting to the Consul, several villagers came to ask for help, saying that their village was besieged by a large group of slaves, and hoped that we could send someone to rescue them.

Hearing this, the 20 centurions and three military tribunes looked at Serapio in unison.

Serapio opened his mouth wide, what should he do? Could it be that we withdraw our troops?

I believe that as soon as this sentence comes out, the reputation of Serapio as a coward will quickly spread throughout Rome, which is not what he wants.

The news came just after Fowles was killed in battle. I think there may be fraud in it.

said a centurion.

Serabio glanced at him appreciatively, That's right, the slave rebels must have a conspiracy, so we have to be careful. What do you guys think?

He decided to listen to the opinions of these centurions and military security officers.

I think go to the rescue immediately, and at the same time send someone to contact Kosinius so that they can get closer to us as soon as possible.

said a military tribune.

That's right, we can't just ignore death. Those slaves rely on surprise attacks to win. As long as they don't get attacked by surprise, we are not afraid of them at all.

said a centurion.

I also think we should go to the rescue.

...

Serabio frowned, he didn't expect that no one retreated, what should he do?

Seeing everyone's expecting eyes, Serapio bit the bullet and said, Okay then, let's go to the rescue.

So the army changed direction and rushed towards the village.

A large number of soldiers were sent out by him for reconnaissance, and the speed of the army dropped again and again.

Spartacus looked at the Roman army in the distance with a speechless face, and he said to Castus: That's how they usually chase you.

Roughly the same.

Castus shrugged.

No wonder they couldn't catch up, and everyone complained.

Of the three armies, he is probably the most relaxed. Even the old and the weak can easily get rid of Serabio's pursuit.

Spartacus thought for a long time, You lead a small number of people to continue to ambush, and find a way to let their scouts find you, and I will take people to the rear to ambush.

Castus immediately understood what he was thinking, but he didn't want to stay here.

Everyone else has meritorious service, and he doesn't want to be compared.

I want to take part in the battle too, and I want to capture a Roman consul.

Well said, with ambition. Ixion, how about leaving this to you?

Spartacus said.

no problem.

Ixion thought for a while and said.

After confessing some things, Spartacus took people out of here. Ixion's expression was extremely complicated, what should he do.

Why didn't his superiors give him orders? You must know that this is Serapio, Li Wei's closest friend.

Thinking of this, he called a gladiator, this is his real companion, the gladiator who was sent by Li Wei to train together.

He whispered a few words to him, and the gladiator left immediately after knowing it.

Consul Serabio, what's the use of you marching so slowly? When you arrive at our village, all the people in our village will be killed.

A villager said angrily that he didn't expect Serapio to be so virtuous. According to this kind of speed, when he arrived at their village, it would be dark, so it would be useless.

Those soldiers watched their noses and noses, and their noses watched their hearts. They have long been accustomed to such things. They have been coming here these days.

You can't say that. You have to know that this is probably a trap. We must be more cautious.

Serapio said awkwardly.

What a trap, I think you are a coward at all.

said the villager angrily.

His words just hit Serapio's sore spot, which made him immediately dissatisfied.

At this moment, a soldier rushed over here suddenly.

Consul, just now a masked man hit us with a stone, let us hand over this piece of paper to you.

Oh, bring it here and show me.

Serabio said curiously, there was a masked person passing the news to him, what's going on?

After reading it, he couldn't help but change his face, Quickly withdraw the troops! This is a trap! Fowles was defeated, and Corsinius was also defeated. Now we are the only ones left.

Hearing this, the centurions were in an uproar, what's going on?

By the way, don't retreat the same way, there is an ambush there. To the west, there is the only exit.

Serabio said, fortunately, there is the support of the intelligence team, otherwise this time it will be miserable.

The villager was reluctant, but at this juncture, Serabio didn't care about him, and led the army to retreat at full speed. The situation here quickly alarmed Spartacus.

How is this going?

Spartacus said in amazement, Even if they find the people of Ixion, they should go back the same way instead of going west.

They were turning east and north, and the west was the only exit, and it was incredible that they happened to be marching west instead.

Will there be traitors? I heard that Li Wei has an intelligence team, which is very powerful.

Onomamus said.

The intelligence group had already been circulated in Capua, and even Sara had mentioned it to him.

Spartacus said with a gloomy face: It's possible what you said. Later, we will conduct a thorough investigation of our people. We can't let the consul go away now, otherwise this victory will not be perfect.

That's right, this time we must capture the Roman consul alive.

Castus laughed.

The atmosphere here became active again, so Spartacus personally led the army to pursue Serabio.

***

Why it came out like this?

At this moment, Serapio looked extremely miserable.

Those two guys usually brag so much, why did they die when they met Spartacus.

Since he started fleeing, Spartacus has started chasing him.

Although Spartacus had an absolute advantage in military strength, he still did not launch a frontal attack on him.

Instead, they continued to attack and harass, making the Roman army miserable.

They haven't had a good night's sleep for two days and two nights, because every night, there will be people beating gongs and drums outside the barracks, and many Roman soldiers have dark circles on their faces.

Serabio didn't know what to do either. The only thing he knew was to retreat. As long as he retreated to Campania, he could join Li Wei.

Looking at a steep hill ahead, Serabio said to a centurion beside him: Gaius, lead your centurion to the front to scout, and be careful of the enemy's sneak attack.

The centurion's complexion immediately turned a liver-colored color. The death rate of the soldiers sent out for reconnaissance in the past two days was frighteningly high.

Spartacus specially organized a large number of manpower to attack and kill those scouts. It is not bad to send out ten and return one. In the eyes of many Roman soldiers, this is a mission that must die.

I dont go.

Gaius said directly.

Are you going to disobey the military order?

Serapio said angrily.

It's not because of your incompetence that we have fallen to this point. You are not worthy to be the commander-in-chief of the army at all.

Gaius accused angrily.

Serabio was so angry that he couldn't speak. If it was a strong general, he might kill him now.

But looking at the angry eyes of other soldiers and officers, he knew he couldn't do it.

Well, it's fine if you don't want to go. As long as this day passes, we will be able to walk out of this mountain and enter Campania. I hope everyone will be careful.

Serabio said.

Don't worry, we will.

Gaius poked his neck and said.

Serabio felt extremely frustrated, he didn't expect that he could not even command the army, so the army walked slowly down the hillside.

Spartacus looked at this army from the mountain, and a smile appeared on his face.

After two days of killing, they finally stopped sending out scouts. It seemed that there was something wrong with the army, which meant that the army was over.

Notify everyone, prepare to attack.

Spartacus said.

Ixion sighed deeply, Serapio, I'm sorry, I've already helped you, but I didn't expect you to still be unable to escape this catastrophe.

All the slave rebels lay in ambush quietly on the hillside, watching the Roman army down the hill.

At this moment, the fierce trumpet sounded.

Those slave rebels immediately pushed the stone in their hands, and the huge stone rolled down from the mountain.

It's a pity that the woods on this hillside are too lush, and the slope is not too steep. It is not an ideal ambush point, and many stones are blocked by trees.

Remember, avoid the one in the red cape, and don't kill him.

Spartacus emphasized again.

He remembered Li Wei's words, if something happened to Serabio, Sarah would have to be buried with him.

Those rebels certainly remembered this order and stayed away from Serapio one after another.

Seeing the stones rolling down the mountain, the Roman soldiers were terrified. They hid behind the trees, hoping to block the stones with the trees.

Serapio's eyes were full of fear, what on earth would he do?

At this time, a large number of slave soldiers rushed down from the mountain.

Capture the Roman consul alive!

Catch Serabio alive!

...

Many slave rebels roared loudly.

It's over! It's all over!
