Chapter 79 Rome - 5000(1/2)
ps: 10,000 updates! I wish everyone a happy weekend! Tonight is another night of carnival.
Kirk thought for a while, winter was about to pass, and Egyptian grain was shipped to Rome. Following the news from Rome, Caesar, who solved the famine and Pompey, was declared a "dictator" by the Senate, enjoying supreme power and
Glory. After he solved the Roman civil war and political enemies, the next step will be to launch military operations in the spring to target the increasingly fierce rebellion in Carthage.
We must quell the unstable factors in Numidia itself before the Roman legions arrive in the spring, and eliminate all strategic factors that the enemy can use.
Kirk nodded.
In the following days, Kirk's team followed Spartacus's army, lurking day and night, attacking in separate areas, and quietly moved to the front of the eastern Numidian tribe. This is not only the base camp of the remnants of Numidia's unyielding forces
, and it is the only barrier between Spartacus's Numidia and Cleopatra's Egypt, the two forces controlled by Kirk behind the scenes.
At present, with the financial support of 30 million ores urgently approved by the Roman Senate, the Eastern Numidian tribe has finally regained its footing from the disastrous defeat just suffered by Spartacus and has regrouped 200,000 cavalry.
The army.
But in the following days, Spartacus ordered 50,000 cavalry to hide in the desert, and divided the other 50,000 tribal warriors into dozens, and took turns harassing the eastern Numidian tribe.
Although Caesar sent many envoys and generals to help Eastern Numidia train the army, stabilize the situation, and urged them to stay calm and wait until the Roman army arrived in the spring before attacking Spartacus together. But Spartacus brutally
He ordered the cavalry to start burning, killing and looting in the Eastern Numidia tribe. They slaughtered villages one by one, which finally aroused the fierce anger of the Eastern Numidia tribal alliance. 200,000 cavalry were divided into two groups, led by two tribal kings, 20 miles apart.
, swept over.
Spartacus did not order the army to attack, but ordered the harassing troops to retreat continuously to attract the enemy to attack. Before luring the enemy deep, the enemy was divided. The 50,000 tribes with deeper hatred chose to continue the pursuit, but most of them
Some enemies retreated.
Spartacus ordered the legions to attack and surround the pursuing tribal troops. After several failed breakouts, the surrounded tribes finally could no longer hold on and sent people to request the army to help break out.
After a fierce quarrel, the Eastern Numidian tribe sent 50,000 cavalry to rescue. However, the rescue failed. Spartacus, who was ambushed on the way, charged with 50,000 finely armored cavalry, and when thousands of spears fired,
They were shot so hard that they were thrown off their backs. Most of the spears they threw were blocked by the armor of the finely armored cavalry, and no major casualties were caused.
The battle between finely armored cavalry and ordinary Numidian cavalry is like armored troops fighting against motorized infantry. If you drop those 30 million Orei gold coins, you will still hear the sound, let alone the military god Spartacus.
Legion?
As a result, the lax military discipline of the Numidian nomadic tribes came into play again, and the reinforcements from the eastern Numidian tribe dispersed. They were chased and killed by Spartacus, leaving corpses strewn across the fields and rivers of blood. The rest all surrendered.
After this battle, how could the Eastern Numidian tribe dare to rescue the besieged 50,000 troops? Spartacus did not rush to annihilate them. When the enemy's morale was high, choosing to annihilate them by force would increase casualties. Instead, he waited for three days
After three days in the desert, they were short of water and food, and even the native Numidians lost eight of their ten souls. Spartacus charged and defeated them easily.
Their entire army was wiped out and numerous surrenders were made.
Subsequently, the enemy chose to escape and return to their old base.
Spartacus traveled thousands of miles with his armored cavalry, getting ahead of them and cutting off the retreat route. Although they could roam freely in the desert, the number of oases that could supply the army was limited. As long as the water source was cut off, the natives could not escape.
The final decisive battle soon broke out between 100,000 native cavalry and 50,000 Spartacus' armored elite cavalry. This battle coincided with a sandstorm and flying sand and rocks. Spartacus rejected Kirk's suggestion of an assassination by the [Dragon King] team.
He formed a flying formation with other generals and led 10,000 cavalry forward.
But seeing 150,000 cavalry on both sides, black and dense, spread out in patches in the yellow desert, flying sand and rocks, Spartacus occupied the upper wind, flying out of the sandstorm with 10,000 cavalry, and firing thousands of spears.
.The enemy fell down one after another like straw, their horses neighing, and their blood stained the large yellow sand red.
He led his men to break into the enemy's siege. The king of the Eastern Numidian tribe hoarded heavy troops around him. Spartacus led the cavalry to attack, like an iron hammer, cutting through the waves and forcing 50,000 Numidian cavalry to charge forward.
Scattered, rushed to the panicked Numidian Tribe King, roared, and slashed him down!
The head of the king of Eastern Numidia flew high and was picked off by Spartacus!
He roared so loudly that it shook the whole country!
"The bandit leader is dead! Don't worry about the rest!"
50,000 fine knights shouted in unison: "The bandit leader is dead, don't worry about the rest!"
The Numidian cavalry began to divide. Some fled, some wanted revenge, and most of them dismounted and surrendered.
Kirk saw this, smiled and left with the team.
The overall situation has been decided, there is no need to look any further.
After this battle, no force in the entire North Africa north of the Sahara could threaten Spartacus!
When they walked to the city of Africa, got on the boat, and headed for Rome, they heard the news that the rebels had captured the entire eastern Numidian tribe and eliminated the last remaining forces!
All of Numidia fell into the hands of Spartacus.
In two months' time, even if Caesar comes in person, he will face a unified Numidia under the rule of Princess Venita of Carthage!
His opponent is Spartacus, who has at least 100,000 fine armored cavalry, vast strategic depth, abundant mercenary resources, a solid material foundation, and a steady supply of food supplies from Egypt!
A male lion has risen unstoppably in the desert of North Africa, even facing the invincible Roman legion, it is not inferior!
Kirk's strategic layout and huge investment finally received rich rewards. Numidia and Egypt have become one. The Roman province of Africa has become an isolated island between the sea and the mainland. It is in danger.
Although Carthage has not yet been restored, Princess Winrita's career has seen a bright future.
"Why do you want to come with us?" Kirk had a headache: "The Numidian tribe has just been pacified, and there are still a lot of things that need to be done by you."
Princess Wen Rita, who was wearing a knight's armor and a desert turban, with only two big watery eyes exposed, playfully pouted: "Do you want to go to your charming Queen Marie again? I want to
Follow you! As for Numidia, I have already said it. I am not the material, Spartacus can handle it by himself!"
Kirk was speechless for a while: "Sister, I'm going to Rome! You are a princess of Carthage. If you are recognized by the Romans, Caesar will be so happy that he wakes up laughing at night."
Princess Wen Rita took out a human skin mask: "I have already prepared it"
Kirk: "Where did you get this from?"
Princess Venrita: "The Egyptian Court."
Kirk: ""
The group disembarked in Rome.
Kirk sighed with emotion. It has been a year since he left Rome. I wonder how Octavian is doing?
And Caesar, this omnipresent conqueror. I don’t know what kind of attitude he will treat himself.
The so-called plan cannot keep up with changes. When Antony went to Greece and left Rome, he could not have imagined what would happen next. The battle in Greece, drifting to Carthage, meeting Venita by chance, chasing Pompey, meeting Queen Marie, and occupying Egypt.
Dominate Numidia.
Kirk has never forgotten his main mission, but the main mission is only to make Octavian the emperor of the empire, but the empire does not necessarily include Kirk's sphere of influence - North Africa. It is better to have a father and mother than to have oneself. Let alone Octavian.
Weiyou.
Kirk went straight to Octavian's mansion to find Octavian. Princess Venita, a naughty elf, also insisted on going with Kirk. Kirk had no choice but to let her come, but he must wear a mask.
When Octavian saw Kirk, he was still extremely enthusiastic. After a year of not seeing each other, Octavian had grown a lot taller. At the age of 15, he already looked like an adult.
Kirk sighed with emotion.
Octavian's impression of Kirk still remained that of the invincible warrior a year ago.
After sitting down and chatting with Octavian, Kirk and others realized that the situation in Rome had changed dramatically.
Caesar is back and actively planning to become emperor.
Brutus, the leader of the republic, put aside his dignity and persuaded the senators to support Caesar in proclaiming himself emperor.
Voronos and Plo chose to retire again after the war. Voronos actually changed careers and began running for the Senate. Currently, there are only a few days before the municipal election, and Voronos is preparing his first campaign speech.
But unlike his smooth sailing, the big-headed soldier Puluo did not have such good luck. After Puluo retired, he simply stayed at the Volennos home. He used all his pension to restore the freedom of his beloved shepherdess slave Eleni.
, and wanted to marry her. But was shocked to hear that
It turns out that her sweetheart Eleni already has someone in her heart. She likes a slave of the Voronos family and has made a private decision for life. In anger, Puluo beat his love rival to death. Voronos was furious and blamed Puluo for being in love with him.
Such atrocities were committed in front of children.
Puluo retorted and hit the point with his words, saying that Caesar's small favor made Voronos change his original intention of supporting the republic. Voronos was speechless. But in any case, the two brothers who were originally close to each other, for the sake of
This incident temporarily broke out. Puluo was ordered out of the house by Volonnos.
The impoverished Prolo was living in various taverns, and he didn't even have the money to take care of the business of prostitutes. According to Octavian, Prolo was recently hired by a big Roman businessman named Erastis Forman to start a killing spree.
During his life, he indulged in sensuality and became addicted to opium.
Kirk was greatly moved when he heard this. Puluo's fighting skills were not much weaker than Spartacus's, and he was different from Voronos who had political opinions. He was a big-headed soldier who only acted based on his own likes and dislikes. Only by giving
When giving money to women, Pluto didn't care whether Rome was an empire or a republic.
Kirk hurried to the market to find Pullo.
But it was already too late. When Kirk arrived, he only saw Pu Luo, who had sunken eyes, standing listlessly in the middle of the road. Next to him, there were a bunch of sheriffs and soldiers. Pu Luo was locked up with iron chains.
It turns out that Pu Luo committed a murder in broad daylight, was caught by the sheriff, and was about to be thrown into jail.
Kirk hurriedly stepped forward to negotiate. When he saw a captain arriving, the Sheriff did not dare to neglect. But after hearing Kirk's request for release, the Sheriff refused. Kirk looked at Puluo. This guy had already been
A lazy and strong lion, under the double destruction of opium and debauchery, turned into a skinny and sick man. Only the occasional flash of light in his eyes can reveal the majesty before.
Kirk sighed inwardly.
At this moment, Volonos walked over wearing the senator's special white cloth clothes. Seeing the crowd here, Volonos came over and asked what was going on.
After seeing Kirk, Voronos was greatly surprised. Although Kirk began to act against Rome, except for Caesar who knew a little bit about the horns, no one else knew about it. He walked up to Kirk affectionately and met Kirk.
