Roman Slave Owner

After discovering that Scipio and Nias had arrived, Li Wei was overjoyed, thinking that he could survive this test.

But I didn't expect that the ancient tower was so burdened that even the elders of the Roman Senate were detained. This was simply too unexpected.

So he could only think of ways to shake the morale of the enemy. In fact, it was very useful for him to do so, and those Capua garrisons were a little scared.

Don't pay attention to him, we have no way out!

Guta snorted coldly.

That's right, it's a big gamble, either succeed or go into exile.

Saiyanus also said.

Then let me do the last game.

Guta said, and after speaking, he made preparations for the siege.

Those soldiers escorted Scipio and Niah to a carriage in the distance, and then respectfully moved a few chairs from above, asking them to sit down.

These people are too much. I really want to let them know how powerful I am. What's wrong with you...

Nias said angrily.

Scipio did not speak, but opened the box and carefully looked at a piece of papyrus inside.

After reading it, he fell silent, and then handed the papyrus to Nias.

After reading it, Nias was full of surprise. He didn't expect Guta and Saiyanus to offer such a condition.

what should we do?

Nias asked cautiously while hiding the papyrus.

Scipio did not answer right away, because Guta and the others proposed that as long as Scipio and Nias were put under house arrest with peace of mind, they should not interfere in the process.

As long as it is done, the white sugar recipe has their share.

If they fail, they will punish Guta and Saiyanus casually, and they will have no complaints.

Scipio and Nias couldn't be tempted by such a favorable condition.

Especially Nias, he was so far behind Scipio that he never thought that he might get the sugar formula.

But now there is a chance...

The huge benefits of white sugar can be seen by an individual. With this thing, even if it is shared by several people, there may be a profit of more than one million dinars a year.

How could such a huge benefit keep them from being tempted.

What's more, even if they fail, Li Wei doesn't know, and I'm afraid he will still thank them, and even fully support their journey to compete for the consul.

And all they need to pay is to be quietly detained...

Scipio and Nias slowly showed smiles on their faces, and they both understood each other's thoughts.

Do you have a fire?

Nias asked.

No, what's the matter?

A soldier said in trepidation.

Find me a fire, I'm useful.

Nia said.

It didn't take long for the papyrus to burn in flames.

Fake evidence, obviously false evidence, how could Li Wei collude with Sura.

Nias said.

you're right.

Scipio leisurely looked at the manor in the distance, wondering if Li Wei could withstand the attack of the Capua garrison.

**

At this time, the Capua garrison soldiers divided into two groups, one to attack the main entrance, and the other to go around in other directions, Li Wei said: Geita, you guard here, I will take some people to defend other places.

OK.

Gaita said.

You must keep it.

Li Wei hammered his chest.

Patriarch, you just need to rest assured that there are people in the city, unless I die, the city wall will never be lost.

Gaita said.

Li Wei nodded, and walked to other places with some guards,

Due to time constraints and financial constraints, Li Wei's city walls were not perfect.

Many places are simple walls, which gave Aulus an opportunity to take advantage of.

Aulus found a place, and directly ordered people to move a ladder, and let the soldiers go up the wall from the ladder.

After a soldier climbed the ladder, he didn't know that someone had heard the movement outside the wall, and some guards gathered here.

The soldier stretched out his head to look at the situation below, and found that many people below were already in full battle, some guards were holding crossbows, and some were holding javelins.

Although the Romans didn't like crossbows, Livy liked them.

In the previous life, the big Han and the Xiongnu were able to gain the upper hand in the battle, and the crossbow played a vital role.

Moreover, Roman bows and crossbows are very backward, not even composite bows, and the energy loss during shooting is very large. Li Wei has already included improving crossbows in his next plan.

Let the arrow!

exclaimed a centurion.

The guards with heavy crossbows immediately pulled the trigger, and arrows shot at the guards on the wall, and the soldier quickly retracted his head.

The city wall is too high. If you jump from the top, you may break your leg. And we only have a few ladders. Jumping down one by one is to let them die.

A centurion said to Aulus.

Olus carefully looked at the wall. The entire wall was about six meters high, equivalent to the height of a three-story building. It would be fatal if you jumped from the top while wearing armor.

Then what should we do?

Olus said.

Just wait for the ballista to come, and it's easy to break these walls.

said the centurion.

Aulus frowned tightly. The ballista cart was pulled by an ox cart. Each centurion of the Roman army would be equipped with a ballista, and then one person from each squad would be drawn to operate the ballista cart.

However, the speed of the ballista cart is very slow, and it will take a long time to arrive, so it has not arrived yet.

What he didn't know was that Li Wei had already sent guards from other manors to intercept and kill the Ballista Cart.

Is there any other way?

Yes, for example, if you cut down a few big trees, you can knock them down if you hit the fence directly with their trunks.

said the centurion.

Then let someone do it quickly, don't waste time.

Olus said.

The centurion happily took the order, and he didn't want to get involved in this troubled water. It would be best to kill time by doing logistics behind.

Aulus is still thinking hard about how to complete the diversion work.

After waiting for a long time, Li Wei found that there was still no siege action on the opposite side, but he didn't know that they were stumped by the wall.

So he let the military judge Lebiris command the battle here, and he returned to the place where the city gate was.

Slow down, don't go too fast.

In the city of Capua, four bearers quickly carried a shoulder to the Capua Senate.

Old Tullius sat on his shoulders and said weakly.

Many Roman colonies, municipalities, and states have the same structure as Rome, such as city officials, justices, and local senate, but the number of elders in the local senate is much smaller, usually around 100.

Among them, Campania is special. In the past, cities such as Capua were managed by administrators directly sent by Rome.

Its function is equivalent to that of a justice, and it is used to adjudicate local conflicts.

But later the administrators competed for 4 administrators from 10 cities in Campania and other places, which are the so-called four executives of Campania.

Old Tullius was a member of the Capua Senate and the chief elder of the local Senate.

If Li Wei hadn't sent someone to inform him that a major event had happened, the old Tullius would really not want to go to the Capua Senate with his body.
