Roman Slave Owner

The owner is here!

Hearing this, the officers quickly stopped talking, sat up straight, looked at their noses with their eyes, and their hearts with their noses.

Li Wei sat on the first seat and looked at the people below.

Among them, the retainers accounted for at least 3/4, and his control over the First Army was very strong.

I called you here tonight to discuss tomorrow's battle plan.

Li Wei said.

Everyone couldn't help but look at each other, battle plan?

Could it be that the enemy is going to attack the city tomorrow?

Kabo bullied me too much, and Nobanus tried to seize my military power, so I decided to join Sulla and resist Rome.

Hearing this, there was an uproar below.

How could this be? To seek refuge with Sura!

Li Wei ignored them: We have already got in touch with Sura. Tomorrow Sura will send troops to attack the city. We will take the opportunity to cooperate internally and externally to take down Capua. Do you have any questions?

Everyone was silent for a while, and then someone said: No problem!

no problem!

...

With more and more voices, everyone said one after another.

Even if someone has some thoughts, they dare not show them in this situation.

Very good, this time we will cooperate with Surari to defeat Nobanus and take Capua. This battle must be won!

Levi said.

Must win!

cried Morris.

Must win!

Must win!

Must win!

...

More and more people shouted, and at the same time, they kept thinking that once Li Wei turned his back, Sura's strength would skyrocket. Coupled with the unexpected sneak attack, Nobanus would indeed lose.

Tonight, in a group of ten people, no one is allowed to leave the group to act alone. The big camp is closed, and those who dare to leave the camp will be killed without mercy! Next, I will announce tomorrow's battle plan!

Li Wei said with a smile, but there was a strong killing intent in his smile.

The next day, at dawn, groups of soldiers left Sulla's camp and formed a huge square formation.

In the standard Roman infantry phalanx, each brigade is divided into six rows, the distance between each row is less than 2 meters, and the distance between soldiers is less than 1 meter.

But once there are a large number of people, the Roman generals will increase the number of rows in the phalanx.

Because the thickening of the army formation is far more effective than the lengthening of the general formation.

Under Sulla's command, his six legions formed a huge phalanx of 10 rows in front of each brigade.

Coupled with the cavalry on both wings, the entire army was several kilometers long, and then slowly advanced towards Nobanus' camp.

Upon hearing the news, Nobanus could not help but be overjoyed.

Sura dared to take the initiative to attack him, he was looking for a dead end.

Today he will defeat Sulla, and the name of Nobanus will shine throughout the Mediterranean.

So he also ordered the army to leave the camp, line up the formation, and keep thickening the formation, preparing for a big battle with the enemy.

Seeing that the formation was about to be lined up, Geta gave Lebiris a wink.

Lebiris nodded knowingly, and then went to pester Brutus.

For the success of the matter, the centurion's command right was temporarily deprived these days, and only the retainers had the command power of the army.

At this time, Geta admired Li Wei to the extreme. This was a genius idea, which strengthened his control over the army to the extreme.

He took more than 20 personal soldiers, went to the middle of the army, called a few retainers, and told them the whole story.

After hearing his words, the shock of those retainers can be imagined. Could it be that Guta's original suspicion was true?

The Patriarch really colluded with Su La.

These are the meanings of the Patriarch,

The head of the family has already made an appointment with Sulla to dedicate the city of Capua today, so we will win and Nobanus will lose. What you have to do is to do a good job as a soldier. If anyone dares to refuse to obey, kill them. Remember not to let Brutus find out, understand?

Gaita said viciously.

The retainers thought for a while, and finally nodded in agreement.

If any of them turned against him, Nobanus would indeed be defeated.

And the brainwashing for half a year is not for nothing, they have to recite the words of loyalty to Li Wei every day.

From a psychological point of view, this is called the principle of commitment consistency.

Everyone does not want to be regarded as a double-faced person. For what they say, everyone will unconsciously follow the original promise.

Simply put, even if I know I am wrong, I will not admit it.

Even if he knew that he was being brainwashed, he would not admit that it was brainwashing, but believed that he was really loyal to Li Wei.

Geta called other retainers and started the same work.

Fortunately, Lebiris did a great job of keeping Brutus entangled, completely unaware that the entire Legion had changed dramatically.

The only thing that worried Geta was the Third Army. He trusted the officers of the Third Army, and the only thing he worried about were the soldiers.

Those soldiers have a large number of slaves and gladiators, and they don't know whether they are willing to obey the orders of the Patriarch.

At this moment, there was a sudden commotion in the formation.

Geta hurried forward and found a centurion lying in a pool of blood.

He wants to betray us.

A retainer came over and whispered quietly.

Geta nodded, and was about to order someone to drag him down when Brutus had already brought someone over.

What's going on here?

Brutus asked.

There was silence for a while, and some people even unconsciously grasped the hilt of their swords.

He wanted to be a deserter, and we executed him on the spot.

Geta said without changing his face.

Oh, well done.

Brutus said that he didn't notice a change in the atmosphere, which made everyone heave a sigh of relief.

Sura's army was getting closer and closer, Geta showed a complex look on his face.

Nobanus's rear horn and bugle sounded at the same time, and the eagle flag pointed forward.

The horn sounded, and the army attacked.

The sound of the bugle is to remind the flag officer and the regiment commander to pay attention to the military flag, so the horn and the bugle are often sounded at the same time.

The whole army advances!

Brutus said vigorously.

Pointing forward to the legion flag!

The whole army advances!

The whole army advances!

...

cried a military tribune.

The whole army marched out with a bang, and Roman soldiers lined up neatly, walking forward with their shields in hand.

It's just that there are buzzing sounds in Capua's team from time to time, and there will be some collisions in the team from time to time, which is completely incomparable with the usual strict military discipline.

Geta knew in his heart that these retainers were explaining the order.

Silence! Don't speak casually! Otherwise, military law will be followed!

Brutus said angrily.

The distance between the two sides was getting closer and closer, and a trumpet and bugle sounded again.

Stop advancing! Archers, javeliners, and slingers move forward!

cried Brutus.

The Capua Second Army immediately stopped advancing, but the crossbowmen, javeliners and slingers did not leave the army formation and came to the front of the army.

What are you doing? Why don't you obey the military order?

cried Brutus.
