Roman Slave Owner

　　 In fact, as they expected, the counterweight trebuchets failed to attack again for a long time.

　　 On the contrary, those ballistas attacked more frequently. The Roman ballistas could either throw stones or bid guns. They threw some stones at the siege equipment.

　　 It is a pity that the stones are too light to cause fatal damage to the siege equipment.

　　 Those siege equipment finally approached the city wall. Some tortoise-shaped machines leaned under the city wall, and some soldiers stepped on them and were about to climb towards the city wall.

　　 But a large amount of kerosene mixed with sulfur poured down, and then it was a torch.

　　 The entire tortoise-shaped machine ignited instantly, and some soldiers screamed and ran away, trying to put out the flames on their bodies.

　　 It didn't take long for him to completely lose his life, exuding a strange smell of meat.

　　 Some soldiers climbed up the ladder to the city wall, but at this time a lot of arrows shot at them.

　　 At the same time, some soldiers took their iron forks towards the ladder, and soon the ladder tilted to one side.

　　 A large amount of kerosene was poured on the ladder. It didn't take long for the ladder to ignite fire again, and occasionally some soldiers who could rush on the wall were quickly submerged in the crowd.

　　 Marcus Lampoon looked at all this with a gloomy expression. The enemy's defense measures were very complete, and it seemed that he would have to return without success this time.

　　 "Capua has at least three legion guards. It is very difficult for us to attack."

　　 At this time, one of his lieutenants Albinovanus said.

　　 In fact, they did not want to attack Sura, but Sura strictly rejected the contract they signed with Mallor and others, which made them very distressed.

　　 Later, the Samni took the lead and they decided to advance and retreat together with the Samni.

　　 "If Capua is not taken down, these three legions will threaten our back, and they can attack our clan at any time."

　　 Lan Peng said.

　　 It is here that the two are troubled. The geographical location of Capua is very important.

　　 The Romans like to build roads with cement made of volcanic mud to facilitate the rapid movement of the army and business travelers.

　　Capua in this era is equivalent to a transportation hub, from here you can go directly to Rome, so it has always been a battleground for military strategists.

　　 "Why don't we leave three legions, and the others will go north to support them."

　　 At this time, another lieutenant Curius said.

　　 This lieutenant commanded the two regiments sent by Governor Marcus Bourbon of Sisi. In fact, this army was not five regiments, but seven regiments.

　　 just to confuse the enemy, they have always created the illusion of 5 legions.

　　 At this moment, a cavalry ran over on a horse.

"Report to the general. We got a news. Levy ambushed five Samni legions in Ramdin. The Samni were almost wiped out. Only a few escaped. Pentius was captured. Levy The three legions and the Guards are rushing to help Capua at full speed."

　　 Hearing this, everyone couldn't help being shocked.

　　 "How is this possible? That's the end of the five legions?"

　　 Lan Peng said with a shocked look.

　　Albinovanus was too shocked to speak, so they almost lost.

　　 North Sura, they win more and lose less, while in the South, they have repeatedly fought and lost. In this way, how can they beat their opponents.

　　 "Maybe this is an opportunity."

　　 Kurius said suddenly.

"what chance?"

　　 Lan Peng said suspiciously.

　　 "We can pretend to attack Levy's three legions, so that Capuya's defenders will have to come out to rescue them, and we can take the opportunity to destroy them."

　　 Curius said.

　　 "Yes, this is a good opportunity. If they don't come out, then we will eliminate Li Wei's three legions."

　　 Lan Peng exclaimed.

　　 "We'd better be able to capture Li Wei alive, Li Wei is the backbone of Kapuya, those six legions are his private army. For the sake of Li Wei's life, Kapuya's army may have to join us."

　　 Kurios continued.

　　 Hearing this, Lampoon and Albinovanus both agreed again and again.

　　 It’s just that now the general situation has gradually become clear, and Sura’s advantage is too obvious.

　　 If they can bring Riviera over, their strength will surely increase, and they can even attack Sula’s back.

　　 "Just do it like this, no matter what, I have to find a way to capture Li Wei alive."

　　 Lan Peng said.

　　 Albinovanus had no opinion on this. After reaching an agreement, they quickly ordered the soldiers to stop the attack, and then worked out a plan to attack Levi.

　　 Getta are all very happy about the enemy's retreat.

　　 At this time, they found that the enemy suddenly pulled out their camp and rushed north, which made them not calm, because they knew that Li Wei was rushing to Capua at full speed.

　　 "Are they sure they went to the north?"

　　 Valence asked.

　　 "Yes, although our cavalry was attacked by enemy cavalry, we did find a lot of traces heading north."

　　 Getta said sadly.

　　 "Why the Patriarch only brought three legions, can't he borrow two more legions from General Sura?"

　　 Valence said.

　　 "The war in the north is at a critical juncture. It is said that the allied forces of Capo and Nobanus will soon be wiped out."

　　 Getta said.

　　The question before them is whether to save or not. If you send troops to rescue, what if the enemy is in an ambush, and then the defender is insufficient, and Capua is not guaranteed?

　　 Before leaving, Li Wei ordered to die, he must keep Capuya anyway.

　　 Everyone was arguing about this, and in the end Valence set the tone.

　　 "Save, you will be saved anyway. The head of the family is the backbone of the family, even if you have a small master, you have to save."

　　 "Who led the soldiers to rescue, how many people?"

　　 asked the commander of the Fourth Army Corps.

　　 "I'll go, just take two legions."

　　 Getta said.

　　 "The two legions will be finished once they are surrounded by the enemy."

　　 Someone said.

　　 "Even if I am surrounded, I will break a few of their teeth."

　　 Getta said with a smile.

　　 It's time to use the last resort. He glanced at Valence, who also nodded.

Levi left 10,000 steel swords in Capua. Only Getta, Valence, and Yulia knew about this. As long as two people’s permission is obtained, then these weapons can be used. It’s time to let this The batch of weapons shined brightly.

　　 A large number of cavalry were released by Getta to inquire about the enemy's news. Although Li Wei did not attach importance to the role of cavalry, he still provided 300 cavalry for each regiment.

　　 He took away 1,500 of them, leaving only more than 300. Anyway, he didn't need too many cavalry to defend the city.

　　Gata discussed with the masters of the gladiator training school, bought all the cavalry gladiators from them, and then gathered 700 cavalry to go with the army.

　　 "They really came out."

　　 After receiving this news, Lan Peng was overwhelmed by surprise.

　　The Capuya defender, who had been unable to attack for a long time, came out automatically. As long as the army was annihilated, it would be easy to take Capuya.

　　 "We must never let them meet."

　　 Albinovanus said.

　　 "Curius, how many troops can you hold the two legions of Capua?"

　　 Lan Peng asked.

　　 "An army of 300 cavalry is enough, and the infantry of one of my army can be handed over to you temporarily."

　　 Curius thought for a while and said, he understood Lan Peng's idea, he wanted to concentrate his superior forces and complete the annihilation of the three legions of Li Wei.

　　 "Then please."

　　 Lan Peng smiled and said, talking to smart people is easy.

　　 "Leave it to me."

　　***

　　 Li Wei took his army to Kapuya unhurriedly. In fact, he was extremely relieved of Kapuya.

　　 Not to mention five legions, even 10 legions may not be able to capture Kapuya, Sura has not been able to take Kapuya in history, let alone he left them secret weapons.

　　 Along the avenue made of volcanic ash cement, there are sparse olive trees on both sides with green olives, giving people a joy of harvest.

　　 At this moment, several cavalrymen galloped from the front.

　　 They directly passed the army and came to Li Wei.

　　 "Report to the Patriarch that a large number of enemy troops were found five miles ahead, at least two legions, and a large number of cavalry."

　　 "I see, continue to inquire about the news."

　　 Li Wei said.

　　 "Yes, Patriarch."

　　 "Notify all the troops, go to that hillside, and prepare for battle."

　　 Li Wei looked around and found a gentle **** not far away with olive trees growing on it, so he said.

　　 At the same time, he sent more cavalry to conduct reconnaissance. He didn't want to make the mistake of the Samni.

　　 After receiving Li Wei's order, the army immediately marched towards the hillside.

　　 The carriage carrying military supplies was first brought to the gentle slope, and then the soldiers organized a military formation around these carriages.

　　 A steady stream of cavalry reported to him, the enemy also found them, and speeded up the march.

　　 Li Wei kept cheering them up. At this time, the morale of the army, especially the Guards, was extremely high. They had long wanted to see how powerful an army equipped with this kind of steel sword was. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com

　　 It didn't take long for a large number of troops to appear in front of them.

　　 Looking at Li Wei's army, both Lampeng and Albinovanus are extremely strange, because Li Wei's army is so strange.

　　 Generally speaking, this is a conventional formation, with infantry in the center and cavalry on both wings.

　　 It’s just that the most important Chinese army only has about 4,000 people, and there is a corps on each side of the 4,000 people.

　　 There is also a part of cavalry and infantry behind as a reserve.

　　 "What the **** did he think? Is it possible that Pentius was attacked by such an army?"

　　 Lan Peng said in disbelief.

　　Albinovanus is also extremely puzzled. This kind of army is really easy to break through. As long as you throw a heavy force into the Chinese army, you will be able to defeat it in one blow.

　　 "Should we send someone to persuade you to surrender?"

　　 he asked.

　　 "Of course I want to. It can be a little bit less loss or a bit less."

　　 So they sent a cavalry forward to persuade him to surrender, but the enemy shot an arrow without shouting a few words, and the cavalry could only return angrily.

　　 "It seems that Li Wei is extremely confident in himself."

　　 Albinovanus said disdainfully.
