Roman Slave Owner

Chapter 126: Claudia

"I'm not crazy. We've already taken refuge in Sulla. Sulla is sure to win. You see, our right-wing cavalry has been defeated."

"..."

Hearing this, these Roman cavalry couldn't help being confused.

They were already inferior to the enemy's cavalry, and the cavalry on the opposite side began to charge. These Roman cavalry had no fighting spirit and scattered like birds and beasts.

It didn't take long for the cavalry of the three parties to join together.

"Why didn't you do it sooner?"

One of Sura's lieutenants said dissatisfiedly.

"There is no good time, I am really humble."

said one of the military tribunes who had defected.

"Forget it, now is not the time to talk about these things, let's attack the infantry of Little Mario as planned."

"OK."

"..."

Thousands of cavalry slapped their horses and rushed towards Mario's left flank.

Little Mario quickly discovered the situation there, and he said angrily, "What's going on? Why did the cavalry lose so quickly?"

He can understand the defeat of the cavalry. After all, Sura's cavalry is more and more elite, but it shouldn't be defeated so quickly. This completely defeated his battle plan.

At this moment, a cavalry captain rushed over on a horse covered in blood.

"Report to the consul, the cavalry of the two brigades have mutinied, and we have lost."

After speaking, he fell directly to the ground.

"asshole!"

Marius couldn't help cursing, he didn't expect another traitor to appear in the Roman army, Sulla was too cunning.

At this moment, there was a sudden commotion in his left wing.

Half a legion of infantry suddenly turned against them, hurled a mass of javelins at their comrades, and attacked.

This change caused one of Mario's legions to collapse in an instant, and they never understood how their comrades rebelled.

"No! It's impossible!"

After receiving the news, Little Mario began to doubt his life.

How could this be possible, he was the son of Marius, the leader of the populist faction whom everyone admired, how could those soldiers turn against him.

The collapse of one legion quickly set off a chain reaction that eventually led to the collapse of the entire army.

Coupled with the cavalry and infantry attacking back and forth, the entire left wing quickly collapsed, and then spread to the large formation of the central army.

"Let's run away, or we won't be able to escape."

A centurion under Mario said.

Xiao Ma slightly sighed, he knew that the situation was over, so he led the crowd to escape.

After Mario escaped, the real defeat was like a mountain.

Pompey led the cavalry in a hurry to chase, and finally found that Marius had fled to a small town, and was then hoisted up from a basket.

The other troops were unable to enter the city and were finally massacred by Pompey.

When he was young, Pompey was a ruthless and ruthless person, and he was merciless in killing people. He was criticized a lot for this, and he was definitely not as bitch as a virgin when he was suppressing pirates.

There was joy in Sulla's camp, because Rome was before them, and they had finally reached Rome.

"The Senate declared us rebellious, we must let them know how powerful we are."

Ophelia growled viciously.

"Revenge! Revenge!!"

"Revenge! Revenge!!"

"Revenge! Revenge!!"

"..."

His generals and soldiers roared angrily.

Sura's eyes were also red, he Sura finally came back!

He will crush Marius to ashes!

Their relatives, their children, and their friends do not know how many people were massacred by Marius, Cinna, and Capo. They have been waiting for this moment for an unknowable how long.

Li Wei seems to have seen the scene of blood flowing into rivers in Rome, and he has no power to resist it, and he will not stop it.

If his relatives were killed, he would probably retaliate wildly.

"Li Wei, you built the counterweight trebuchet, why don't you preside over the siege of Preninest?"

Sura said.

Li Wei thought for a while, the small town where Mario was hiding was called Preninest, this city is an old city, the city is very small, with a population of less than 20,000, it would be a problem to capture it with the strength of three legions nothing.

"No problem, but I hope to leave some craftsmen for me."

Levi said.

"Okay, but remember, don't let the pony run away no matter what."

A fierce light flashed in Sura's eyes.

That Chi Guoguo's murderous intent startled Li Wei. It seemed that the feud between him and Mario was higher than the sky and deeper than the sea, and it had been passed down to the next generation.

"no problem."

Li Wei quickly promised.

So Li Wei led the three legions and the personal guards to take over the siege of Preninest, and then built an earthen wall to surround it.

This is the standard operation for the Roman Legion to siege a city, and it is not easy to escape when it is surrounded.

While Li Wei's men were trying their best to build siege equipment, he learned that several nobles from Rome had come to ask for an audience.

Does he have any friends in Rome?

It seems that there are, what's the matter with them at this time.

So he brought them in with his soldiers.

Not long after, two strange young men and two beautifully dressed women walked in.

"General Li Wei, you have to save us."

As soon as he came in, an extremely beautiful and coquettish woman rushed over, scaring Li Wei back again and again.

"Wait, what's going on here?"

Li Wei hurriedly pushed her back, not letting her come over.

The two guards next to them were also taken aback. They drew out their daggers one after another. Fortunately, the woman was not an assassin, otherwise they would have been miserable.

The woman had a resentful look on her face, as if Li Wei was playing with his heartbreaker.

Li Wei felt furious, who are you?

Don't be so good, he is a decent person.

And he was very sure that this was the first time he had seen this woman.

"General Li Wei, I am Appius Claudius Purkel, the son of Elder Purkel, and this is my younger brother Publius Claudius Purkel, Those two are my sisters."

A young man in the lead said.

"Oh, it turned out to be Brother Pulkel's child. What do you want to see me for?"

Li Wei couldn't help but suddenly realized that this family was a very famous family in history. Not to mention the incest between brother and sister, the whole family had a very lewd tradition.

Caesar the Great was cuckolded by Publius, and even Pompey suffered under Publius.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but glanced at Publius.

The young man is very powerful, I am very optimistic about you.

The man couldn't help but rolled his eyes, you asked my dad called brother, do you want to be our uncle, but you don't seem to be as old as me.

But now he has something to ask for, so he can only say helplessly: "It's like this, because of you, Mario the Little sent someone to kill our father. But after Sulla entered the city, one of his evil slaves searched Our family property, and arresting my brother everywhere, I hope you can talk about it."

Having said that, Appius couldn't help but glanced at Li Wei complainingly.

If it wasn't for him, their father would never have been killed.

"Cough...cough...I didn't expect this to happen."

Li Wei couldn't help but coughed a few times, it seemed that it was his own fault, and he actually got into trouble with Brother Pulker, and now he owed him too much.

"What's going on here? Since the little Marius sent someone to kill your father, why did Su La's men confiscate your property?"

Levi asked.

"This... this..."

Appius couldn't speak for a long time.

Li Wei was a little dissatisfied, you asked me to help, but you didn't tell me the reason, so how can I help.

"Actually, it's not a big deal. It's just that I said a few bad things about Sura before. After the defeat a few days ago, Marius sent someone to spread the word, and many people who supported the peace talks were killed, including my father."

At this time, Publius said indifferently, and looked at Li Wei with a bit of hatred after speaking.

Said a few bad words, I'm afraid it's not just a few bad words.

Otherwise, with the power of their family, how could they be forced to confiscate their property and be wanted, Li Wei thought.

"It turned out to be like this. You should stay in the big camp these few days. I guarantee that no one will dare to come here to arrest you. And I will send someone to notify General Su La and let him cancel his arrest warrant for you."

Li Wei said seriously.

As the commander-in-chief of the six legions, he believed that Sura would give him face, and Appius was only young and arrogant.

"Thank you so much, General!"

Appius said gratefully.

"We still have some disciples and slaves. I want revenge. I want to kill Mario with my own hands."

Publius said.

"No problem, I will arrange for you to go when the city is under siege."

Li Wei immediately agreed, worrying that he couldn't find cannon fodder, so you rushed to it, wouldn't you be stupid if you didn't agree?

So Li Wei asked someone to arrange for them to live here. After learning about it, he knew that they had brought hundreds of soldiers.

This gave him a new understanding of the strength of some of the great nobles in Rome.

The work of the trebuchet is carried out in an orderly manner, especially some of the stones need to be transported from the quarry, which takes a lot of time.

During the period, Sura sent people to urge him several times, but Li Wei pushed them over because the stones were not enough.

Sura was so angry that he sent someone to curse a few times, and then led his troops north to face Kapo and Nobanus.

In addition to besieging the city, Li Wei sent people to Rome to acquire real estate.

Although Sulla hadn't yet carried out a massacre, he had confiscated a large number of estate auctions to finance the war.

It can be said that there is panic in the city of Rome now, and real estate prices are unbelievably low.

Just like Beijing and Shanghai in later generations, real estate in Rome was notoriously expensive in the past. When Sulla rented Rome when he was young, it cost 3,000 sesterces a year, which is about 750 dinars. This shows that the rent in Rome is very expensive. You must know that a Roman soldier only earns a salary of 112.5 dinars a year.

This is really Rome and Migui, and it's not easy to live in.

Now the real estate in Rome is so low that it cannot be sold. Many real estates are unsold, and it is through the acquisition of Roman real estate that Crassus became the richest man in Rome. Li Wei just took the opportunity to make a fortune.
