Roman Slave Owner

He had already imagined that he would kill all directions in Spain, overwhelm Metellus, defeat Sertorius, and then return with honor and hold a grand triumphant scene.

Seeing Pompey's complacent look, Li Wei had a look of pity.

Poor child, I'm afraid you don't know that it is a pit, and it will pit you and Metellus hard.

"I want to hunt down pirates."

Levi said.

It turned out that it was just to encircle and suppress pirates. Although there are many pirates and they are distributed in a wide sea area, this is a thankless job.

And what honor is there in defeating the pirates? It's more interesting to defeat Sedoliu.

"I support you."

The two looked at each other and smiled, and they had reached an offensive and defensive alliance in this matter.

But what he didn't know was that Li Wei's target was not just the pirates, but the capital behind the pirates, even Armenia and Syria.

It's a pity that Pompey didn't know all this, otherwise he would never have agreed easily.

It was not long before Livy issued a public statement in support of Pompey commanding the two legions of Catullus as his staff.

As soon as the news came out, the Senate was caught off guard for a while.

Although Pompey's record is not bad, it is far behind Li Wei.

Defeating the Samnians and Pompey the Lucanians was nothing compared to defeating the armies of Dumidius and Numidia.

So the Senate sent someone to ask him to change the decision. This is a major military matter. Lepidus is about to go to Rome. If Lepidus is defeated, there will be a massacre in Rome. This matter affects all It's better to stabilize people's wealth and life.

But Li Wei refused to accept it. He knew that Lepidus was a parallel importer, and without his Capua garrison, he would not be Pompey's opponent.

The Senate was very helpless about this, so they discussed the command of the entire army.

In the history of Rome, there was a problem that two consuls commanded the army at the same time, which resulted in a big defeat. Therefore, Li Wei and Pompey had to distinguish between priorities.

At this time, Li Wei did not give in, and demanded the command of the entire army.

Some things can be allowed, and some things cannot be allowed. Pompey also declared his support for Li Wei's command of the three legions.

After deliberation by the Senate, the matter was settled in this way.

In the dark night, a manor on the border between Naples and Capua was suddenly opened, and a pirate walked out of the manor.

They've been lurking in batches of this estate for a long time, and it's time to start their plans.

Under the leadership of the guide, Lesix and Relius led them directly to Dragon City.

/\u003e

These pirates were clearly divided into two parts. One part was full of armor, wearing a short sword and shield. They were well-trained in their actions, and they could be seen as real elites at a glance.

There are also some who are extremely loose, only a few are equipped with armor, and they can't even maintain their formation when marching.

But here is very close to Dragon City, only a dozen kilometers away.

Soon they arrived near Dragon City,

Due to the chaos caused by the war, Dragon City has raised its own alert level.

Basically do not open the door during the day, so they can only find a way to attack at night.

In the distant Dragon City, braziers have been ignited, and some guards are constantly patrolling the city wall.

Due to Su La's reasons, the number of guards has been greatly reduced, the place is too large, and the intensity of patrolling is not as good as before.

This is also the reason why Lesix, Relius and others dared to sneak attack.

They selected some elites, wearing black short jackets, and with the help of Heiye, they slowly approached Dragon City.

When a group of guards walked by, they quickly leaned a set of ladders against the wall, and then one by one the pirates climbed up the wall.

Seeing this, Relius and Lysix showed smiles on their faces. They knew that this matter was at least half done.

More and more pirates climbed up the city wall along the ladders, and the pirates behind quietly leaned more ladders against the city wall.

"who?"

At this time, a group of patrolling guards finally discovered the pirates.

Those pirates didn't make a sound, but went forward to fight directly.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"

The ten captain shouted loudly, and at the same time ordered a guard to go straight to the police.

Relying on the sharpness of his weapon, the ten captain retreated while fighting.

But they found that they were wrong. Those pirates were highly skilled in martial arts, and they were skilled in coordination, and even their weapons were not inferior to them.

It didn't take long for them to be killed by those numerous pirates.

After falling to the ground, the ten commander opened his eyes unwillingly.

He really wanted to send an alarm to Dragon City, these were by no means ordinary enemies, but he had no chance.

Some pirates picked up those expensive short swords, and rushed to the city gate.

More and more elite pirates climbed up the city wall along the ladder, and they also rushed towards the city gate without making a sound.

Although the guards fought with all their strength, they were outnumbered. It didn't take long for the pirates to occupy the city gate. Amidst the crackling sound, the city gate slowly rose, and the pirates outside the city gate rushed in excitedly.

Every pirate is well aware of the wealth of Dragon City. Relius and Lysix have promised that as long as they occupy Dragon City, each pirate can share the wealth of 2000 dinars.

Stimulated by money, every pirate's blood was racing with excitement.

At this moment, Longcheng finally came to his senses, the sound of alarm bells, bugles and dogs barking could be heard everywhere.

A large number of soldiers came out of the barracks. Due to insufficient numbers, there were less than one brigade of soldiers in the barracks in the outer city, and all the others were deployed in the inner city.

In addition to artisan districts, residential areas and schools have also taken action.

Due to the repeated wars, Li Wei had already conducted drills for wartime.

They did not enter the inner city, but fled directly to the barracks area, where there are thick walls enough to protect their safety.

Moreover, the barracks has a narrow passage 180 meters long, which can lead to the inner city.

The guards who rushed out of the barracks immediately fought the pirates. They found that there were a lot of pirates, and they didn't know how many enemies there were in the dark.

Moreover, some pirates are very powerful, not comparable to ordinary pirates at all, which puts great pressure on the soldiers of this brigade.

"Cover residents to evacuate to the barracks, don't go any further."

The military tribune was quick to pass his judgment.

After receiving the order of the military tribune, the soldiers immediately covered the evacuation of the residents to the barracks.

Seeing some pirates rushing towards those residential areas to rob, Relius and Lysix couldn't help being furious.

How much money can these residential areas grab? The core area of ​​the inner city is the bulk.

"Asshole, hurry to the inner city."

Relius kicked a pirate angrily, and the pirate gave him a fierce look.

"Do you want to disobey my orders?"

Relius said with a sneer.

The pirate thought for a long time, and finally rushed towards the inner city unwillingly.

Count him lucky, otherwise Relius really wouldn't mind killing him to rectify military discipline.
