Roman Slave Owner

"Okay, but I hope to postpone the killing for a while."

Li Wei knew that he could not change Sura's order, so he decided to use this order to formulate his next battle plan.

"how long."

"5 days."

"why?"

Hadrianus asked.

"We killed the son of Pontius. He will not let it go. I guess he will rebel and come to rescue these Samni."

Levi said.

"You want to beat them here?"

Hadrianus asked.

Li Wei nodded. He had been worried that the Samni and the Lucanians would rebel together and then attack Capua. Their joint strength was too strong, and he might not be an opponent.

If you can deal with them separately, then things will be easy to handle.

He could have used this incident to make a time difference, forcing the Samni to attack them proactively.

If it's just the Samni, it's much easier to deal with.

"You must know that the Samni people are strong, even if there is internal disagreement, they have formed five legions now."

Hadrianus said.

Li Wei's strength is indeed very strong, but the three legions are stationed in Capua, where there are only three legions and a 3,000-person guard, how can these people be their opponents.

"Don't worry, I'm already prepared."

Li Wei said with a smile.

"Since you are prepared, I won't stop you, but I will report this matter to General Sura."

Hadrianus said.

"Please go ahead. By the way, please keep the news of the death of little Pontius a secret, otherwise he may not be able to take the bait."

"Ok."

Not long after, under the orders of Sulla, the news that Li Wei would massacre all the Samnis and Pontius in Prenast City flew out as if he had grown wings, and quickly spread to all directions. with.

After receiving the letter from Hadrianus, Sura agreed after thinking about it.

"Just do as he says."

"Don't we need to send troops to help? The Samni are not weak, so the troops of his three legions may not be opponents."

At this time Dolabella said.

"Since he said that, he is sure, so you don't have to worry about it."

Sura smiled and said, he could even vaguely guess his next move, what a clever little guy.

In the barracks of Tyrenia,

"boom!"

Pontius slapped the table in front of him fiercely, and then said angrily, "It's too hateful to dare to slaughter our people!"

"Let's kill it! We want Sura to know how powerful we are."

"What kind of kid is Li Wei? I'll make him eat shit then!"

"..."

The lieutenants around him spoke impassionedly.

Seeing this, Pontius nodded, the military spirit is available.

In fact, a while ago, he secretly sent someone to negotiate peace with Su La. As long as Su La agreed to the conditions given by Qin Na, they would remain neutral.

It's a pity that Su La refused, which left him with no choice.

"Pass my order, the army will set off immediately, aiming at Preninest."

said Pentius.

After doing all this, he still did not forget to give his allies the Lucanians a voice, and he could no longer hesitate.

The logistics department of Prenest Outer Barracks was crowded with people, and members of Li Wei's personal guards were queuing up to receive new weapons.

"what are these?"

Someone looked at the newly issued dagger and said.

"A steel sword of 10,000 dinars is exactly the same as that of the centurions."

said a support staff.

"how can that be?"

The soldier said with a look of surprise.

Woofer also looked shocked, which is really surprising!

"How can there be a fake, remember to protect your sword, you can't afford to lose it."

Said the support staff.

The soldier nodded again and again, even if he killed him with 10,000 dinars, he would not be able to afford it.

Soldiers one after another received the new steel swords. Looking at the steel swords in their hands, every guard was extremely happy.

Every soldier loves a good weapon, and they are no exception.

Wufa thought a lot, Li Wei had 3,000 personal guards, which means that this time Li Wei probably issued 3,000 steel swords.

Could this kind of steel sword be manufactured on a large scale?

if……

If their tribe can equip this kind of steel sword, then wouldn't their tribe be invincible.

Thinking of this, a trace of heat flashed in Woofer's eyes.

The pro-guards received all the replacement steel swords, which caused a wave of waves, but under Li Wei's password-blocking order, it quickly subsided.

This time Li Wei brought 6,000 steel swords. In addition to the personal guards, he also planned to equip the First Army with 3,000 swords.

Originally, he had never wanted this kind of steel sword to appear in the world on a large scale, but sometimes this world is so helpless.

The five legions of the Samnians advanced swiftly to Prenest, and the whole legion marched with such haste that they did not even take the slave camps with them.

Passing through a mountain pass, looking at the dense forests on both sides.

Pontius frowned, "This is Latium?"

"Yes, it is a necessary place on the way to Preninest."

A lieutenant general said.

"Have you scouted both sides?"

asked Pentius.

"This...is not very clear."

The deputy general said.

"Send some soldiers to scout immediately."

said Pentius.

"The forest here is dense, and it will take a long time to fully reconnaissance."

The deputy general said tactfully.

Pontius frowned involuntarily. What he lacks most now is time.

It had taken two days to get the news from Preninest, which meant that he had less than three days to travel.

"No, you can't stop reconnaissance just because of this little time. Order the troops to rest where they are, and send two centurions to reconnaissance."

Pontius thought for a while and said.

"As ordered."

The deputy general said.

In the past, all the reconnaissance was cavalry, but here it is obvious that only infantry can be used for reconnaissance.

Two centurions climbed the hillside, scouting and advancing.

But due to the dense vegetation in summer and the bushes growing thick, they could only use their weapons to carve a way.

The infantry found a shady place to rest, drank some water, and ate some dry food. It can only be said that the weather is too hot, which makes them a little unbearable.

The reconnaissance soldiers kept complaining that after driving such a long distance, they had to carve out a small path under the condition of mosquito bites and ant bites and itching all over their bodies, so they just looked around roughly.

Without knowing it, a large number of soldiers were ambushing there two hundred meters away, quietly watching them pass by.

It can only be said that the shrubs here are too dense, and you can't see clearly if you are more than ten meters away.

After seeing the reconnaissance troops going away, a few soldiers painted yellow, yellow, green and green quietly climbed up the hill and continued to stare at the troops in the distance.

After resting for an hour, the soldiers only scouted less than half of it.

Pontius didn't expect their speed to be so slow, but he still ordered the troops to continue waiting. The most feared thing about this kind of road that must be passed is an ambush.

Two hours later, the reconnaissance force sent a signal of safety.

Pontius breathed a sigh of relief and ordered the troops to move forward.

Seeing this, several soldiers uttered crisp bird calls, and then the soldiers stepped forward quietly one by one, lying on the hillside.

Li Wei's face was painted green, and he poked his head out to observe the army.

Pontius was riding on the horse, but his mind had already drifted far away.

Now he has some regrets, maybe he should have sent troops a long time ago, otherwise his son would not have been caught by them.

At this moment, there was a burst of passionate trumpet sound on the mountain wave.

That familiar voice, that ecstatic melody, is like the sound of a certain army in later generations before charging.

Startled, Pontius looked up into the sky and saw a mass of javelins being thrown from the hillside.

"this……"

Pontius opened his eyes wide in horror, then watched them penetrate the body of a soldier beside him.

"Enemy attack!"

"There is an ambush!"

"..."

The Samni army was in a mess. They looked for places to hide, but they couldn't find a place to hide. Some raised their shields to resist the javelins falling from the sky, but the javelins fell from the sky. Hold those javelins.

"How is this possible? Didn't we conduct reconnaissance?"

Pontius said in surprise and anger.

But he knew this was not the time to think about it.

"Rush up the slope for me!"

said Pontius loudly.

Some soldiers who received the order quickly rushed to the bushes on both sides of the hillside, but it was useless. A large number of javelins mixed with arrow rain flew towards them.

One Samni soldier after another was shot by javelins and arrows, fell on the hillside and rolled down.

At this time, a large number of boulders rolled down from the mountain, completely blocking their front and back.

Seeing this, Pontius was dizzy for a while.

It's over!

It's all over!

Li Wei watched all this quietly, and the soldiers around excitedly shot arrows one after another. The craftsmen and slaves just picked up the stones and threw them down fiercely.

The boulder rolled down the steep slope, and the bones of all the Samni who were hit by the impact were all shattered and screamed.

At the beginning, there were still people who resisted, but gradually fewer and fewer people resisted on the battlefield.

There were only bursts of screams, and a smile appeared on Li Wei's face.

"Order the army to attack."

A melodious bugle sounded, and a large number of soldiers rushed down from the hillside.

They encountered little resistance, and if any survived, they dropped their weapons and surrendered.

I hope Li Wei will show mercy and let them go.

Of course, Li Wei knew that the decision was not up to him.

After counting the results of the battle, Lebiris excitedly reported the results to him.

"In this battle, we killed more than 11,000 enemy troops, captured more than 15,000 people, more than 500 horses, and armor... Only the logistics team in the rear and some soldiers ran away because of their bad sense. The rest were basically either killed or captured."

Finally seeing some back money, Li Wei thought with relief.

"Good job, what about our losses?"

Levi asked.

"Ten people were killed in battle, 23 were injured, and some even injured their feet during the charge, which meant that there was no loss at all."

"Nice job."

Li Wei said with a smile.
