Roman Slave Owner

"what should we do?"

Ganix said as he fled, and then looked at the soldiers.

Those rebel soldiers kept silent. A large number of people were sent out these days, but all of them were gone forever.

It was evident that they had come to a terrible end, and that they had no morals to sacrifice their lives for the sake of others.

Onomamos' face was extremely ugly, could it be that he just sat and watched the enemy catch up and bite them.

"There is no escape if this continues. They have guides and hounds. This will lead to a dead end."

"Then what should we do? Should we run away separately?"

Gannix said.

"I think we should escape separately, so that our target is much smaller."

"But fleeing separately would make us weaker."

"Even if we don't separate, we won't be stronger than the enemy."

"You have a point."

Ganix thought for a while and said, maybe it's time to separate.

The tall freckled centurion panicked, and it would be bad if they parted and fled.

At this moment, there was a burst of violent drinking from around.

"Let the arrows go."

With an order, arrows rained down in the surrounding woods, and a large number of arrows were shot at the fleeing rebel soldiers.

The rebel soldiers uttered screams one after another, and then fell to the ground.

Seeing this, Onomamus was taken aback.

How could there be an ambush?

The continuous rain of arrows made the soldiers of the rebel army unable to lift their heads.

Onomamos leaned tightly behind a tree to avoid the arrows, and big drops of cold sweat rolled down his brow.

Although he dodged quickly, two arrows still pierced his thigh.

"Bastard! Damn bastard!"

Onomamos couldn't help cursing angrily.

"Stop shooting!"

said a voice.

Hearing this, the rain of arrows disappeared immediately, and then a large number of Roman soldiers rushed out from behind the tree.

"It's you?"

After seeing the leading officer, Onomamos said with eyes wide open.

"long time no see."

Aetius sneered that it was he who led the team to ambush them this time, but he had been promoted to the post of military tribune at this time.

"I knew I had cut you with a sword."

Onomamos scolded angrily.

"Hehe, we defeated you on the battlefield, why are you unconvinced?"

Aetius said disdainfully that he had never paid attention to these slaves.

Onomamos' face was stagnant, and he couldn't refute these words.

More and more Roman troops appeared around them, and the number already exceeded 400. This made Onomamus and Ganix very desperate. Are they about to die?

At this moment, the freckled centurion suddenly rushed towards Aetius.

"careful!"

Onomamos couldn't help exclaiming.

But what stunned him was that instead of attacking him, Aetius and the others let the centurion join them.

"Boss, if any of you shot me with an arrow, wouldn't my mark be obvious?"

The centurion told a middle-aged man beside Aetius that he was Cage.

"I'm sorry, someone must have shot the wrong shot, and I apologize on behalf of them."

Aetius said apologetically.

"Philip, are you one of them?"

Onomamos said with a look of shock.

Why the enemy can always bite him, he finally understood the reason.

"traitor!"

Ganix cursed viciously, his eyes were extremely fierce, as if he was going to swallow him alive.

"Hahaha, what kind of traitor? I was originally a member of General Li Wei, and I can only blame you for being too stupid."

Philip couldn't help laughing.

"Are there any people you sent in the Spartacus army?"

Onomamus asked.

"What do you say?"

Philip said with a half-smile.

Onomamos and Ganix were shocked.

It's over, I didn't expect a large number of spies to be mixed into Spartacus' army.

"Stop talking nonsense with them, arresting him and Ganix would be a great achievement."

Cage said impatiently.

"That's right, attack me, remember that Onomamos and Ganix must be caught alive."

cried Aetius.

This time they were able to track them down thanks to the help of Cage and the others.

If it wasn't for them, it would be impossible for him to track Onomamos and the others.

He was very grateful for that, as to why they helped themselves.

He also vaguely had a guess, but the guess was quickly snuffed out in the bud.

Following Aetius' order, the Roman soldiers immediately swarmed up and attacked the wounded slave soldiers.

Under the attack of Roman soldiers, the slaves were quickly killed.

At this time, Onomamos and Ganix are also facing the biggest crisis in their lives.

A dozen soldiers with fishing nets surrounded them and threw the nets at them.

"asshole!"

Onomamos has a lot of experience in dealing with fishnet gladiators, but there are too many fishnets thrown by the enemy.

He opened one of the nets with his dagger, but was soon caught by the rest of the net.

Those soldiers pulled the fishing net, and then several soldiers rushed forward, knocked out the short sword in his hand, and restrained him.

Onomamos looked desperate. He glanced in the direction of Ganix and found that he was also tied up by the 58th University.

"Congratulations, Aetius."

Cage said with a smile on his face.

Aetius almost laughed from ear to ear, being able to capture the two rebel leaders is definitely a great achievement.

"Thanks, I would never have caught them without your help."

Aetius said modestly.

Cage had a smile on his face, no matter what, he was his own person, so if he didn't help him, would he help others?

Li Wei's victory inspired the whole of Rome. After learning that Onomamos was in ambush, Spartacus hurriedly led his army to help him, but unexpectedly discovered that Li Wei was planning to ambush him, so he had to stop the rescue plan.

Spartacus and Levi fought several games, Levi had the absolute upper hand, and Spartacus lost several games in a row.

Coupled with the arrival of the Crusaders, the distraught Spartacus had to lead the army to flee to the south.

"Are we leaving them alone?"

Castus said angrily.

Ganix was his best friend, but Spartacus abandoned him.

"This time it was my mistake and I will take full responsibility."

Spartacus’s face was so gloomy that water dripped out, “The most important thing for us now is to take advantage of Levi’s encirclement and suppress them, and rush to the south at full speed. Build rafts, find ships, and head to Sicily, otherwise we will have no chance gone."

"I believe that they can escape from Li Wei's pursuit. Their best gladiators are by no means dead money."

He had never thought that Li Wei was so difficult to deal with. No matter how he sneaked up, Li Wei was like a prophet. He hit him with a counter-ambush, which caused him heavy losses, which seriously damaged his self-confidence.

"asshole!"

Castus couldn't help cursing, Spartacus' face was even uglier, who are you scolding.

The army speeded up and went south, and they found that Li Wei's army did not chase after them, but sent a large number of cavalry to follow them.

The cavalry kept harassing them along the way, and destroyed the roads and bridges ahead, making the army slower and causing everyone to curse.

After coming to Turi City, facing the threat of Spartacus, Turi City had to prepare a mountain of supplies to trade to Spartacus.

Spartacus also learned of the northern battle report through them. Li Wei defeated the three major armies of the slave army, captured more than 3,000 people, captured Onomamus and Ganix alive, and lost less than a hundred people.

After hearing the news, Spartacus' face turned ashen.

"Take these supplies and leave as soon as possible. I hope you can keep our promise and keep this matter a secret. Otherwise, Li Wei will know, and he won't let us go."

The mayor of Turi City said with a sullen face.

"Don't worry, I will abide by our agreement."

Spartacus said blankly.

Reggioum, a city at the southernmost tip of Rome, is only separated from Sicily by the Strait of Messina, which is a few kilometers wide.

The fire outside the city of Regium was raging, and the forests were set ablaze to prevent them from being used by Spartacus to turn them into wooden rafts or ships.

In the civic square, a Roman military officer was giving a speech to the citizens of Regium.

"Dear citizens, Spartacus is about to attack. Since General Li Wei is destroying the remnants of Onomaus, he is unable to pursue them. I hope that you can temporarily take refuge in Sicily by boat. It will only take a month at most. , everyone can come back. We have prepared the boat for everyone, and those who want to go can board the boat at any time."

Li Wei didn't want the tragedy of the previous life to happen to Regium, so he sent someone to persuade them to avoid the war in advance.

"Rome gave him so many troops, why should we take refuge."

Someone said dissatisfied.

"As I have already explained, General Li Wei won a big battle. He is currently destroying the remaining Onomaus troops, so he is unable to pursue them."

An officer said patiently.

"Can't we hold on? We only need to hold on for a few days."

"Spartacus still has an army of 50,000. With Regium's strength, it is very difficult to defend it for a few days."

said the officer.

Hearing this, the citizens looked at each other in blank dismay.

Finally, under their persuasion, most people boarded the sea ship and went to Sicily, but some people still insisted on not withdrawing.

For these people, they have nothing to do, let Spartacus clean them up.

Not long after, Spartacus, who was marching at full speed, finally arrived at Regium, which was his ideal landing place.

It is only a few kilometers away from Sicily by sea. If you take a little risk, you can reach Sicily even with a wooden raft, but the loss will be great.

The army sieges the city, and then takes down the weak city of Regium at a speed of destruction. Just like in history, the city of Regium was quickly plunged into blood and fire. It was vented on the rest of the citizens.

There were wailing sounds everywhere, and Spartacus was powerless to stop it.

At this time, Spartacus received a very bad news. They did not grab any ships. All the ships left the dock after learning that they were coming, and Levi seemed to have a fleet.

"When did that fleet leave?"

Spartacus asked.

"Just one day before, they told all the merchant ships to leave with them, and all those who didn't leave were burned on the spot."

said a dock worker.

"How many ships are there in that fleet, and what are they?"

"They are all small boats with two or three paddles, and there is only one big boat with four paddles, and the number is about sixty."

Sixty ships, this is quite a huge number. Although these ships are not big, they are enough to cause a devastating blow to the raft.

Thinking of this, Spartacus was worried, hoping that things would not develop in the direction he was worried about.

In a forest outside the city of Regium, a large number of slave soldiers were cutting down trees.

Since the Romans had burned all the woods near the city, they had to cut down trees more than a dozen Roman miles away.

Castus sat under a poplar tree, staring viciously at thousands of cavalry hundreds of meters away.

These are Li Wei's cavalry, and because they kept attacking the slave soldiers who felled trees, Spartacus had to let him lead the soldiers of two legions to protect these people.

These cavalry from the east were extremely rampant, drinking and eating meat a few hundred meters away from them, completely ignoring them.

Once they attacked these cavalry, they escaped faster than rabbits, which made Castus extremely mad.

These cavalry were everywhere outside the city of Regium, which made it difficult for their sentries to move.

Bundles after bundles of timber were loaded onto carts and prepared to be transported into the city of Regium.

After finishing lunch and working for a while, Castus looked at the sky and ordered the army to prepare to return to Regium.

The weak slaves and timber were protected in the middle, and the soldiers of the two legions were on the outermost.

At this time, the number of those cavalrymen was increasing, and they followed him closely, and the number had exceeded 3,000.

This made Castus and the others extremely nervous. He had a premonition that the enemy was likely to launch an attack.

There is bare wilderness everywhere along the way, and they have burned all the trees and crops, leaving ugly scars.

When passing a small hill, a long bugle sounded, and a large number of Roman troops came out from behind the hill.

They not only blocked their front, but also blocked their back.

Seeing this, Castus couldn't help being shocked, when did the Romans arrive here!

"Ready to fight!"

Castus said loudly.

The slaves immediately formed a neat formation, watching the swarming Roman army with a look of alertness, and the number of Roman troops was increasing.

Castus' face changed. There was a Roman legion in front of them and behind them, plus the one rushing down the hillside, which meant that the enemy had at least three Roman legions, and the key was more Soldiers still swarmed out behind the hillside.
