Roman Slave Owner

"Why is that?"

someone asked.

"Because we're running out of water."

Levi said.

"During the attack. Those water trucks were important targets for the enemy. The fresh water we carried was only enough for us to use for 10 days, so we must withdraw now."

Gaita said.

"Why is it like this? Why don't you prepare a little more fresh water?"

Hypsar said with a look of shock, is Rome going to lose?

"During the last Jugurtha war, old Metellus only brought fresh water and food for ten days. We also brought water and food for ten days. But I didn't expect it was not enough."

Li Wei said with a face of shame.

Hypsar was speechless, how did things turn out like this? Also tmd famous generals.

I think he is a mediocre general. He is really incompetent and exhausts the entire army.

After learning the truth of the matter, everyone quickly unified their opinions.

"Next, the cavalry has to undertake the most important task. The enemy's cavalry will definitely harass and intercept us. Our cavalry must stop the enemy's cavalry and prevent them from harassing the infantry. The Numidian cavalry is mainly light cavalry. They Harassment and interception are okay, but the frontal combat effectiveness is not very good, I believe you can complete my task."

Levi said.

Those cavalry commanders had no choice but to agree.

After the meeting was over, Li Wei kept the heads of the six legions and the captains of the personal guards. He still believed in these people who had followed him for many years.

"There are traitors among us."

Levi said.

Li Wei's first words startled them, and Geta couldn't help but said, "How is this possible?"

"Our carriages are all covered with cloth. From the surface, it is impossible to tell which ones are water tankers and which ones transport other things. Only insiders know which ones are water tankers."

Levi said.

"The reason why I withdraw my troops is because the water is really tight, and the other is to lure the enemy out of the strong camp. If we fail to capture the enemy's camp in a short time, then we are likely to be completely wiped out situation. But if they come out, I'm 80% sure to beat them."

Levi said.

Wanting to attack a camp guarded by 50,000 infantry, 15,000 cavalry, and 100 war elephants, to be honest, this kind of idea is really crazy. You must know that these troops are more powerful than Levi's.

The high monster exemption card alone is enough for Li Wei to eat a pot. It would be great if he could fight in the wild.

Hearing this, everyone nodded again and again, thinking that this idea is good.

"So the next task is to find spies besides protecting our fresh water."

Li Wei said viciously.

"I will never let those Numidians get close to the water truck."

Gaita said.

"No, we're going to tell them the water trucks are hidden in different places at different times."

Li Wei said with a smile.

Everyone was stunned at first, but soon realized that this was to screen out spies.

"How long will we have enough water?"

Liberias asked.

"eight days."

Li Wei said with a smile.

Hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, as long as Danshui is worry-free.

When it was learned that the army had returned, many people who were not qualified to attend the meeting came to inquire about it, including Pomirka.

As soon as he entered the commander's tent, Pomirka said flatteringly: "The great General Li Wei, I don't know why the army retreated?"

"Due to the enemy's attack, we lost a lot of fresh water, so we must retreat. Remember that this matter is a military secret and must be kept secret."

Levi said.

"So that's the case, thank you General for your trust."

What Pomilka said, a hint of joy flashed in his eyes, he didn't expect that they really ran out of water.

"You have to work hard these days, let your tribal warriors stop the enemy's pursuit. Rome will not forget your kindness."

Levi said.

"Don't worry, general, even if all of us die in battle, we will do our best to stop the enemy's pursuit."

Pomilka slapped her chest loudly.

After Pomirka left, Li Wei tapped on the table lightly, wondering if the spy was the fat man.

Before the truth was found out, these people were all his suspects.

At this moment, Pomirka's mood can be described as ecstasy, he finally made the right bet.

The Romans were no more than that, and perhaps Numidia would usher in a great victory.

What a famous Roman general, I bah!

After he left the commander's tent, he didn't return to his camp immediately, but wandered around.

But after a few steps, he was stopped by a soldier, "Stop, no approaching is allowed ahead."

"Why? You know, I am a friend of the Romans, and I brought 200 cavalry to help the Romans."

Pomirka said dissatisfied.

"This is an order just issued by the general. Everyone can only stay in their own team and cannot go to other legions. They cannot inquire about any information about Danshui. Anyone who violates the order will be punished immediately."

said the soldier.

"Really, forget it."

Pomirka thought for a while and said, it seems that Li Wei is really nervous about the situation of Danshui.

Returning to his team name, he really received this order.

No one was allowed to leave the team, or run around, or they would be killed, and several Roman officers who commanded them emphasized this point.

Hearing this, Pomilka's face turned bitter.

If the news of Danshui cannot be obtained, the efficiency of cavalry attacks will be greatly reduced, and maybe the Romans will be able to escape from the Gobi, so what should we do?

"Everyone have a good rest tonight, tomorrow it will be our turn to fight the enemy cavalry."

A military tribune said that all the cavalry under Pomerka were under his command.

"What if we want water?"

At this moment Pomirka asked.

"Someone will bring it to us at that time, and it will be delivered regularly and quantitatively, so there is no need to rush."

said the military tribune.

"It's such a hassle."

Pomirka said.

His heart skipped a beat, probably because Li Wei sensed the existence of spies.

"If you ask me to tell you that the general is too careful, there is no need to do this at all. If you want to drink, tell me, and I will go directly to the Fourth Army to help you get it."

said the officer.

Pomirka's eyes flashed, the Fourth Army?

In the city of Tara, King Iabbas of Numidia immediately called Dumidius over after receiving the news of Li Wei's withdrawal.

At this time, Dumigios looked very haggard with stubble all over his face.

Seeing his appearance, Iabbas was very dissatisfied. Maybe it was a wrong choice to ally with him.

But he wanted to defeat the Romans, and he wanted to prove that he was the most powerful king in the history of Numidia.

Moreover, Li Wei actually supported Hypsar as king, which is really infuriating. He must ask the Romans to kill Hypsar.

"What do you think of the news?"

Iabbas put the information in his hand in front of him.

After reading it, Dumigios fell into deep thought.
