Chapter 685 When the Imperial Capital Uprising is in progress (three in one)

Forced by the opponent's lust, all the gladiators retreated one after another.

However, this Roman army has no intention of stopping. It mainly focuses on small groups and continues to advance forward, pushing down and cutting down everything that stands in front of it.

The gladiators who were shot with arrows on the ground showed no mercy, pierced with spears or long swords, and beheaded all the howlers.

"Get out of the way! Let me come!" Xu Ding and others caught up and found that the front was blocked. They immediately took an arrow and put it on the bow, and shot it out. The gladiators in front gave way to the main street one after another. Xu Ding, Meng Yu, Shop around and wait for someone to rush over.

Before people arrive, arrows arrive first!

The advancing Roman Centuries were caught off guard, and a soldier had a sharp arrow stuck in his neck.

He looked at the feathers on the tail of the arrow in disbelief, and then fell limp.

"Defense!" The hundred-man team leader saw Xu Ding and the others rushing forward on a horse with a big bow in his hand, and hurriedly directed.

But before the soldiers under his command had time to make preparations, another arrow flew in and shot another soldier down.

However, for the Roman soldiers who responded, the rear team immediately made up for the front, but just after making up for it, another arrow flew towards them.

There was another scream, and a soldier also fell down.

"Fight! Shoot!"

Originally, if it was a field battle, the young soldiers at the forefront would be equipped with two javelins, one light javelin and one heavy javelin.

The light ones are used to throw, and the heavy ones are used to pierce the enemy's formation.

At this time they only took heavy javelins, not everyone in the first row will use heavy javelins, every other person holds an oval shield, and a broad-edged short sword.

The middle-aged soldiers in the second row are equipped with the same weapons as the young soldiers in the previous row. The difference is that the positions of their men holding javelins, swords and shields are just opposite to those in the previous row.

These two columns form a three-dimensional and complementary long and short array.

The adult soldier weapons in the third column are slightly different from the first two columns.

They were older and most experienced men in the whole army, and their long arms were spears, and their defensive weapons were long shields, which were heavier and thicker.

If the first two columns are killed and the enemy rushes away, their third column is the mainstay of the entire formation, responsible for carrying the banner of victory and defeat at the most critical time, and defending the last line of defense for the army.

"Ha!" The Roman warriors holding heavy javelins shouted in unison, then stood upright, lifted the heavy javelins, held them, and thrust forward.

For a while, there were many spears and spears, and there was a feeling of nowhere to start, which made people feel afraid and shrink back.

But this is a small scene for Xu Ding.

With a small formation of only 60 people, the formation of his Weiyuan Island Roman team was much more shocking than theirs.

Perhaps there is a way to crack it long ago.

He drew his bow and hung it on the horse, then swung it sideways and bent down, hugging a log for the arbor and pulling it up.

Then the arbor fell down, and then Xu Ding smashed it with his arms around the tree.

Just as the horse rushed, the speed slowed down slightly.

With a sound of "Boom!", the log smashed in, and the formation of spears and spears was immediately blasted away, and several Roman soldiers died with howls in a hurry.

Then Xu Ding swept with all his strength, and the huge log knocked down the three rows of Roman soldiers on the left flank and knocked them into the air.

The horse rushed in and stepped on the Roman soldiers on the ground, and the bones were broken immediately, and the surviving Roman soldiers were also disabled.

Xu Ding waved his backhand again, and the Roman soldiers on the right wing dodged one after another. There was no formation at all.

At this time, only the ruthless parents lost a pair of legs.

With a bang, countless soldiers vomited blood and hit the street again.

"Kill!" Meng Yu and others took the opportunity to rush in, slashing with their swords.

The aggressive small formation just now fell apart and was defeated. Other gladiators also took the opportunity to charge forward and wiped out this small group of Roman soldiers.

By the way, pick up the spears, heavy javelins, round shields, long shields, and broadswords that fell on the ground.

Xu Ding waved the log and rushed towards the small formation of hundreds of people on the other side, as if he had entered the land of no one. The long, heavy and big log was better than any javelin or spear.

All the long and short weapons of the three rows of Roman soldiers were shot off.

Then, bearing Xu Ding's sweeping sweep, three or two children were beaten into a mess and the ground howled in pain.

The gladiators, who had just suffered a big loss, took the opportunity to counterattack and quickly killed the hundred-man squad, and obtained usable weapons.

This time, the entire gladiator army also had a lot of weapons at hand, and Xu Ding, a super general, commanded them.

The Roman general on the opposite side almost jumped out of his facial features, holding a long sword in his hand, his face turned bitter.

"Who the hell is this bastard? He broke my first detachment just like that." However, he has not lost his strict quality as a soldier, so he immediately ordered: "The second detachment and the third detachment are reunited." Team, build six or six formations! Centuries go down to the city for me, and I will face the rebels with you."

After he finished speaking, he glanced at the captain of the bow and arrow detachment.

The captain nodded slightly, and then quietly ordered everyone: "All aim at the log hugger for me, shoot him, and he will be promoted to two ranks, and the rewards will be countless."

120 archers aimed their arrows at Xu Ding one after another.

"Give me two shields!" Xu Ding reined in his horse and stopped, then threw the log on the ground.

Someone immediately handed over the two round shields that had just been seized.

The round shields of the Roman army are more finely crafted. They are first spliced ​​and shaped, then covered with leather, and covered with a layer of cloth.

It is very beautiful and there is a certain buffer after the arrow and the weapon are stabbed.

Generally speaking, it is still practical, but it is very expensive.

But Xu Ding weighed the weight, and it was much lighter than the heavy shield of the Euphorbia Warrior.

"Everyone listen to the order and follow me to break the formation. If we rush over today, we will survive. If the other Roman troops rush over, we will all be killed here. This battle can only be fought to the death!" Xu Ding put up two shields , Shouting to all the gladiator army.

Meng Yu, Huobi and others held up their weapons and shouted: "Fight to the death! Fight to the death! Fight to the death!"

If you don't want to die, then fight. There is no way out. Someone looked behind, as if Yijing felt that the Roman army was about to arrive.

"kill!"

Xu Ding took the lead and urged the horse to rush out, Meng Yu and others followed closely behind, all of them shouting and killing with enthusiasm.

"what!"

"what!"

"what!"

The Roman army was also in danger. At this time, Rome was still in its strongest period, with a large number of soldiers and affluent finances. It had strong deterrence and combat effectiveness both internally and externally.

Of course, the more important thing is that the Romans never lose confidence, they always think that they are the strongest.

They are proud, and they despise any enemy.

"Fire the arrow!" Seeing Xu Ding and the others enter the range, John, the general guarding the city gate, swung his long sword again.

The bow and arrow detachment on the top of the city shot all the arrows at Xu Ding in an instant.

Xu Ding rushed to the front, and put the two shields together to block the horse's front and two wings.

In an instant, arrows flew densely, and the sound of thumping continued.

The shields on both sides are full of arrows.

"Let it go!" The Roman archers hurriedly raised their arrows and opened their bows again, but at this time Xu Dingyi rushed to the front of their infantry and threw out a shield.

Right in front, it was knocked down.

Then Xu Ding extended and threw out the other shield.

The Roman infantry in the rear row also howled and fell down.

Xu Ding drew out his left and right battle swords, slashed left and right, and slashed and killed the Roman soldiers who were trying to make up for the gap.

Taking the lead, Xu Ding went straight through and made a gap.

Meng Yu and others behind him also rushed in, each relying on their skills to kill the enemy sharply.

But I have to say that the Roman army is really strong. If it was replaced by other mobs, they should have been defeated and fled.

But they didn't, because they didn't allow it, the Roman army was very honorable, and they didn't allow themselves to lose to a bunch of slaves.

What's more, this is the imperial capital, even if all the members die in battle, the rebels must be taken down.

Therefore, although their formation is chaotic, everyone is equipped with a short blade, and they immediately fight against the army of gladiators rushing into the industry.

The scene was extremely tragic.

For freedom and survival, gladiators exploded with great potential.

And Roman soldiers will not give in for the sake of honor.

It was said that Xu Ding rushed over, and John's heart was extremely painful. Facing such a powerful rebel leader, he knew that the opponent's strength should be much stronger than himself, but he did not flinch, and urged his horse and sword to meet him.

He used the most profound swordsmanship in the family, and used his strongest blow to meet the enemy.

However, at the moment when he collided with Xu Ding, he still felt a huge force rushing towards his arms.

The blow failed, and before he could react, Xu Ding struck with another sword horizontally and hit him, even though he was wearing armor, he still fell off the horse and hit the ground.

Xu Ding didn't care about his life, and rushed into the centurion that was supposed to defend the city.

It is also like entering the land of no one, defending bravely and being unstoppable.

Break through and kill several people in twos and threes.

A horse rushed into the city cave, and the generous city gate was closed.

Xu Ding jumped down and punched out.

Suddenly the thick city gate shook several times.

Then Xu Ding slammed out iron-like fists again and again.

A big hole was smashed into the city gate.

But this was not the result Xu Ding wanted. He took a few steps to the right, and then pushed with all his strength.

There was a muffled rattling sound from the city gate, and sand and stone rolled down at the joint between the gate on the right wing and the wall.

There was a gap between the two doors that were close together, and the gap was getting bigger and bigger, and finally reached the distance that one person can freely enter and exit.

"Ah!" Xu Ding pushed hard with all his strength.

Immediately, the door on the right wing fell to the outside of the city with a bang.

As soon as the city gate was broken, all the gladiators shouted wildly, Xu Ding got on his horse and rushed out first.

I'm out of Rome.

At the moment of rushing out of the city, Xu Ding did not forget to string his bow and turned to look at the city gate. At this time, some gladiators rushed up and chased down the Roman archers above.

With a sound of "Hoo!", the arrow in Xu Ding's hand flew out and hit a rope directly.

The flag of the Roman Empire, fluttering in the wind, fell from above.

"Qin! Qin! Qin..."

The national flag representing Rome's honor was shot down, and the gladiators became even more frantic and excited, shouting the name of Xu Ding's avatar one after another.

Then everyone filed out and rushed eastward with Xu Ding from the capital of the Roman Empire.

As soon as the crowd left the city, the Roman army in the city arrived. Seeing the mess on the ground, with countless dead bodies lying on the east gate, the generals and soldiers felt a little numb, and of course they were angry.

Let’s call it that, the rebels fled from the imperial capital.

He also wiped out a brigade of defenders at the East City Gate.

This is definitely bad news.

Even in a field battle, the armies of other countries were strong enough to wipe out a Roman brigade armed to the teeth.

Not to mention a slave rebel army.

"Chasing!" the first Roman general who rushed over gritted his teeth and ordered, but immediately a lieutenant reminded: "My lord, we are infantry, I am afraid it will be difficult to catch up, and the rebels have taken away all the weapons of the city guard. It is no longer an ordinary rebel army, let the cavalry brigade pursue it first, and then send the legion to pursue it."

The Roman Legion was organized, with three detachments forming a brigade.

Ten brigades form a legion, and a regular legion can also lead a subsidiary legion with a similar organization, called a combined legion.

The two combined legions form a group army, which is commanded and managed by the consul.

The combat power displayed by Xu Ding and the others was far beyond what a large group of them could handle.

What's more, to go out of the city by the scriptures, at least one legion is needed to encircle and wipe out.

There is no doubt that the cavalry regiment is the most suitable for this job.

"If you can't catch up, you will be chased!" The captain's face turned cold, and he rushed out of the city with a whip, and the army behind him immediately followed.

Soon the news that Alexander Qin led a group of slave gladiators from the arena to revolt and fight out spread to every corner of the imperial capital.

For a moment the Romans were stunned.

Especially those spectators who went back and added fuel and vinegar to exaggerate the arena, which made this matter even more expanded and legendary.

"Ma'am, Alexander Qin, the people who killed us also found the traitor hidden among the gladiators. They escaped from the Colosseum by the east gate instead of the west gate, and finally escaped from the imperial capital through the east gate. At this time, General Mona sent troops to chase after him." The maid holding the wine reported truthfully.

'Femme fatale' felt a little pain in her head and rubbed her temples lightly.

Alexander Qin was not an easy person to control, everything changed from the beginning of the gladiatorial fight.

Everyone underestimated Alexander Qin's energy, so that he made such a big mess.

"Alexander Qin, what should I do with you? A new hero rises, Spartacus... Is it possible that you are really going to destroy Rome? Hehe, how is this possible? For an existence as powerful as the sun, you just Like fireflies..." 'Female Beauty' murmured to herself, shaking her head and sighing.

Soon the flower maid also reported directly: "Ma'am, His Majesty's people are here, I'm afraid his expression is a bit unfriendly..."

"Hmph! Come here as soon as you come, let him wait in the side hall, my mother has a headache and wants to sleep for a while..."

"Uh..." the two maids.

………………

After leaving the city of Rome, Xu Ding and others walked eastward all the way, encountered several traffic checkpoints along the way, and pulled out all of them.

The city of Rome is in the middle of the Italian peninsula. Of course, it is not called the Italian peninsula, but the Apennines peninsula.

The entire peninsula area is directly under the Roman Empire.

The current Roman Empire implements a provincial system outside the peninsula, and each province has a provincial governor.

The governor is similar to the county guard and state shepherd of the Han Dynasty, and has a lot of power.

Some of these provinces belonged to the Emperor of the Empire, and some belonged to the Senate.

This is why the Senate has the capital to fight against the emperor.

Moreover, among these provinces, most of the provinces that are close to the peninsula are in the hands of the Senate, while those that are far away are in the hands of the emperor.

This is also a great constraint.

The Senate is mainly responsible for internal affairs, and the emperor is mainly responsible for external affairs. This is a tacit understanding that has lasted for hundreds of years.

After all, the Senate does not need to rely on military exploits to consolidate its achievements, while the new emperor needs to win foreign wars to enhance his prestige and achievements. This is an obvious difference, and it also caused this peculiar phenomenon.

There were about [-] people who followed Xu Ding out of the Roman Empire, and the rest either died in battle or sneaked away.

After obtaining simple supplements, Xu Ding led the people into the forest, and then made preliminary reforms to the large army.

Select the five most brave, full of fighting and commanding consciousness as the centurion.

Each has 100 people under his command.

The five centurions are the confidant Meng Yu, the Slavs Bibi, the Germanic Vilatori, the Celtic Mengdu, and Soros who was a former Mediterranean leader.

After electing a new centurion, Xu Ding began to instill in them the military system from the East. Xu Ding decided to abandon the military framework of the Eastern Han Dynasty and the Western Romans. Military units are building a new military system.

The reason for this is mainly because the gladiator army came from all over Rome and the defeated or plundered populations of various tribes around Rome.

The team members are complicated, and there is no sergeant group that seems simple like the Roman system, but actually requires great tacit understanding and trust.

In the future that can be seen, the rebel army has grown stronger, and the source is still complicated. He has no time or possibility to split the army in detail.

"Qin! Where are we going next? I believe that the Roman army will catch up soon. We must find a place to avoid them." The Slavs asked worriedly.

The other four people also looked at Xu Ding, Xu Ding said: "What do you think?"

The Celtic Meng said: "Let's go north first, and then go west. This way, the Romans will be thrown off by surprise, and they will all go east to eat shit."

Soros said: "No, even if you can avoid the Roman army chasing eastward for a short time by going west, they will still be able to catch up when they react. Moreover, there are many checkpoints in the west, and there are a large number of Roman troops. If we want to encounter it, we will be surrounded by it at that time, and we will die.

I propose to go along the east and west coasts. I am familiar with this area. Then we can get a few boats and then go to sea, whether it is to Sicily, Sardinia or Africa. "

Mundo is a Celtic, and his hometown is in the Gaul region, in the northwest of the Roman Empire. If he goes west, he will naturally return to his hometown. It is only natural for him to have his own plans.

Soros understood it better. He was the leader of an island in the Mediterranean Sea, and he lived his life at sea. Where there is water is his paradise.

Going to sea was the most direct choice for him, so he naturally refused to go west to drill mountains and forests and live a life like a savage.

Xu Ding cast his eyes on the other three people, Meng Yu is his retainer so there is nothing to say.

Villatoli was a German, and his hometown was close to the east of the Gaul region. It was undoubtedly in his interest to go west.

The comparison is that the hometown of the Slavs is in the north of the Roman Empire, and it is more convenient to go north.

However, the three of them did not talk about the direction, but expressed their loyalty to Xu Ding: "Alexander Qin, you are our commander-in-chief, we will go wherever you say, I believe your vision is farther than ours, and only by following you can we go victory."

Two cunning and shrewd fellows.

This made Xu Ding couldn't help but look at the two of them more highly.

Who doesn't want to go home, who doesn't want to be free, but the two of them see it more clearly, this is not a question of where to go, but a question of standing in line.

Small personal interests and selfishness must be obeyed in the will of the Supreme Commander.

Xu Ding smiled, and lightly patted Meng Yu on the two wings beside him to compare with the goods: "Okay! Since everyone said to continue east, let's go east until we reach the east coast. Looking for an opportunity to cross north to the Macedonian province."

The province of Macedonia is located on the Balkan Peninsula.

It has been a place with a strong smell of gunpowder since ancient times.

The eastern part of the Macedonian province is still mostly the territory of the Senate. If you go there by yourself, the new emperor Severus will probably acquiesce.

After all, the new emperor still has a great enemy in the west, and the threat of British Governor Albinus needs to be suppressed more than his small slave rebel army.

"..." Mengdu and Soros looked confused.

It's okay to be so numb, but seeing that the other three people didn't disobey their orders, they shut up wisely.

In this rebel army, Alexander Qin has unparalleled prestige.

Xu Ding could replace them at any time if he was upset, and even dealt with them like a mole.

After all, they didn't make any achievements when they rushed out of Rome.

Being able to sit as a centurion is all due to Xu Ding's direct appointment, because Xu Ding believes that they have the ability to command troops and manage them.

But this kind of ability is not irreplaceable. In the war, personal growth will be very fast, and personal talent will be displayed more directly.

If he meets a good seedling, Xu Ding doesn't mind promoting them vigorously.

After resting, the army moved down along the west coast instead of heading straight eastward in the center of the peninsula.

So the Romans' pursuers quickly overtook them, but the Romans didn't know where Xingding and others went.

Because the number of insurgents was a little smaller, they deliberately avoided and came out at night, so it was difficult to find traces.

Down the west coast, there is an important harbor city called Naples.

From Soros's mouth, Xu must know that this is a big city, and it is also a very rich city.

It is the summer resort of the Roman emperor, with a suitable climate and beautiful scenery.

Not far to the southeast is an active volcano called Mount Vesuvius, an active volcano that erupted 100 years ago and destroyed the bustling ancient city of Pompeii.

So far, Naples has become the veritable largest city in the south of the peninsula.

Capturing here is of extraordinary significance, because there is also a Colosseum in the city, which also imprisoned many gladiator slaves.

This will not only replenish supplies for Xu Ding, replace equipment, expand influence, but also expand troops.
