Chapter 334
Chapter 333 Night attack
He knew that he couldn’t wait any longer, and they would only have a dead end.
“Offense, attack forward!”
Castus said loudly.
After receiving his order, the bugle and horn sounded at the same time, the flag was waved, and the two legions carried a large number of slaves to Regium and killed them.
They are less than ten Roman miles away from accumulating Regium, and reaching Regium is victory.
“Attack!”
Belieus said with a sneer.
The cavalry immediately began to charge. They charged simultaneously from the rear and the flanks of the slave army.
A lot of arrows and javelins shot at them, and the slaves raised their shields.
These shields blocked many people from the rain of arrows and shields, but they also caused some damage to them.
The cavalry didn’t mind, they were patient, waiting for them to reveal a fatal flaw.
The Roman Legion at the forefront did not shoot arrows or throw javelins, but rushed over with the tortoise shell formation.
The two armies smashed into each other like a huge torrent, and then they fought together. The desire of those slave armies to get out was completely frustrated.
Castus’s eyes were about to split, and the uprising army had been encircled by the enemy. If this continues, the whole army will definitely be wiped out.
Only by striving forward can we fight for the first line of life.
He said to the trumpeter and the banner officer beside him: “Notify all the troops, forward! Forward! Forward! Leave the wings and rear wing alone, give me a **** way!”
The bugler and the flag-handling officer said that they understood that the sound of the bugle sounded and all the flags pointed forward.
The centurion of the insurgent army and the military guarantor all noticed the constant sounding of the bugle, and they shouted: “Go forward! Give me forward!”
The soldiers of the insurgent army were like crazy, and they went forward desperately.
They killed the Roman legion with hideous faces, and completely ignored their own casualties, they defeated the Roman legion that was volleying at the front, and Gaeta was stunned.
“A bunch of trash! Chase! Chase me!”
Getta couldn’t help snarling, and a large number of Roman soldiers once again killed the escaped enemies.
Belieus knew that the time had come for the cavalry to charge. At this time, the enemy’s formation had been completely chaotic, and he could only charge forward.
As long as one charge, the enemy will be completely defeated.
“Charge! The cavalry will attack the enemy army!”
Belieus said loudly.
After receiving the order of Bellierus, the cavalry immediately launched a charge from the flanks and rear.
The slave soldiers wore heavy armor and couldn’t run fast at all.
Those cavalrymen easily caught up to them, those Galacian cavalry pierced the bodies of slave soldiers with their spears, and other cavalrymen killed the enemy with short swords and various weapons.
Feeling the rumbling of horse hooves behind him, the soldiers of the rebel army became even more frightened.
They ran forward desperately, completely ignoring the butcher knife behind them, even if someone stopped to fight back, there was only one dead end.
Castus quickly discovered something was wrong. If this continued, they would not be able to escape Regium and would be killed by the cavalry.
But if you stop, you will soon be overtaken by the infantry.
It’s a dead end no matter what!
He quickly thought of a way, so he said to the soldiers around him: “We will grab some horses in a while, and you will follow me to kill them.”
The soldiers nodded. They are all really good players. As long as they have a war horse, it is very possible to guard Castus to smash a blood path.
Under the chasing of the cavalry, this army quickly turned into a big rout, and those cavalry reaped their lives wantonly.
Several Galician cavalry were getting closer and closer to Castus. They used their spears to stab a famous rebel sergeant under the horse.
Castus found a target, and threw the javelin that he had prepared for a long time at lightning speed.
“Puff!”
With a sound of a sharp weapon piercing into the flesh, the Galician cavalry looked at the javelin that came out with a shocked face, and then fell down unwillingly.
Castus quickly mounted the horse, and his soldiers also killed some cavalry, and then mounted the horse.
Castus slapped the horse desperately and killed his soldiers.
Seeing that they are getting further and further away from the army, they are finally relieved.
But it didn’t take long before they found a squad of 30 cavalry patrolling along the road.
Seeing this, Castus cursed secretly, the enemy’s cavalry was simply locusts everywhere.
“what do I do?”
asked one of his soldiers.
“Change direction.”
Castus said, then turned the horse’s head and rushed in the other direction.
But the cavalry had spotted them, and they quickly slapped their horses to chase them.
at the same time shot a ringing arrow into the sky, and the ringing arrow made a piercing scream in the sky, spreading far away.
Castus’s face was gloomy as if water could drip out. The cavalry was relying on the connection of the arrow to besiege the rebels, making it difficult for the rebels to move in the field.
It didn’t take long before the cavalry rushed from all directions.
forced Castus to constantly change direction, making them get closer and closer to the cavalry chasing behind.
“what!”
A scream came from behind Kastus. Kastus looked back and found that several Armenian cavalrymen behind him had bent their bows and set arrows and shot one of his soldiers.
This made Castus’s heart tremble, and the Armenian cavalry behind him kept shooting, and shot a personal soldier.
Castus gritted his teeth and couldn’t make a detour.
Because of the long charge of his horse, his horsepower is not as powerful as these enemies who chase him midway.
He pointed to Regium in the distance and said, “Follow me and rush to Redium to win.”
“Yes, boss.”
his soldiers said one after another.
Castus slapped the horse desperately and charged the cavalry on the opposite side.
The Galacian cavalry on the opposite side sneered, and they dared to charge at them with such a small amount. They were really idiots.
They raised their spears and rushed towards Castus and the others.
The distance between the two sides is getting closer and closer. The cavalry on the opposite side grasped the spear in his hand extremely steadily, and was about to stab him. Castus was about to dodge, but his complexion changed quickly.
Because the enemy’s spear suddenly changed its direction, it pierced his horse.
“Puff!”
A lot of blood gushed out from the horse, and the horse under him wailed. After running for a few steps, he fell to the ground and slid for a long distance before stopping.
Castus desperately controlled his body, but in the end he turned several somersaults on the ground before stopping.
He let out a scream of pain, at this time his thigh had become a weird shape.
“Boss!”
one of his soldiers said in horror.
But looking at the enemies around, he finally chose to kill him desperately.
“The leader?”
His words surprised a Roman officer.
“Don’t kill him! Don’t step on him!”
the officer roared loudly.
Hearing this, the cavalry behind who wanted to control the horse to step on Castus immediately changed their direction and walked around him.
A part of the cavalry chased and killed those who fled, and a part circled around Castus.
“who are you?”
asked the Roman officer.
Castus gritted his teeth without saying a word, at this moment the pain in his thigh almost made him faint.
“It doesn’t matter if you don’t say it, take him away.”
The Roman officer said with a smile.
The cavalry smiled and pulled him back on their horses, completely ignoring his howls, patted their horses and rushed to their camp.

A messenger rushed to Regium Municipal Mansion with a look of panic, which has become the office of Spartacus.
“General, a soldier of Castus came to report that our army outside the city was ambushed by the Roman army, and…and…”
“Are the cavalry ambush?”
Spartacus asked.
“Not only the cavalry, but also at least four Roman legions. Castus led the men to fight out of the siege, trying to rescue the soldiers, but missed and was captured.”
said the soldier.
Spartacus felt dizzy, how could this be possible?
Castus was captured?
“Where is that soldier?”
“He lost too much blood and was in a coma.”
“Asshole! Give my order and gather the army!”
“Yes, General.”
The alarm bell in Regium rang, a large number of soldiers rushed to the city, and some began to assemble, preparing to go out of the city to rescue soldiers outside the city.
At this moment, Spartacus got news that a large number of enemy cavalry appeared outside the city.
Spartacus walked up to the top of the city and found that at least a thousand cavalrymen appeared outside the city.
They wielded various weapons and clamored outside the city.
Some even ran out of the city, peeing directly at the front of the city, and aroused the applause of the cavalry.
“Assholes! A bunch of assholes!”
Curius cursed, “Spartacus, it’s too dangerous to get out of the city. Let me take someone to the rescue.”
Spartacus didn’t speak. He was a little hesitant about this rescue activity. Is this Li Wei’s trap?
If he led the army out of the city, would he encounter an ambush from the enemy’s main force?
“Look over there.”
Someone said.
Spartacus looked into the distance, only to see the flags appearing in the distance, and then a large number of Roman soldiers gradually appeared in his field of vision.
They have bright armor and high morale, and they are approaching Regium at a slow speed.
The people at the head of the city were silent for a while, and the Roman army really came.
It didn’t take long for seven Roman legions to appear under the city wall. In addition, there were at least two thousand cavalrymen.
They did not attack, but silently looked at the people on the wall.
Spartacus knew that they were preventing themselves from rescuing the insurgents outside the city.
“what should we do?”
Curius asked.
Spartacus did not answer, he kept calculating the chips in his hand.
Now he has only 4 corps and 1 weaker corps.
With the strength of 5 legions, they attacked the 7 Roman legions that were waiting for them. This kind of chance of winning is really terribly low, not to mention the enemy has more than 2,000 cavalry.
The head of the city was silent and quiet. Looking at the Roman legion under the wall, they seemed to see the end of the day.
“Guard the city wall and don’t leave the city for rescue.”
Spartacus said, “Kurius, you send some cavalry back, and you must figure out where their camp is.”
After speaking, he left here, his back is a bit bleak, but his eyes are full of fighting spirit.
He Spartacus will never give up!
Everyone did not object, but quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
Seeing that the soldiers of the insurgents in the city had not played for a long time, Li Wei also felt relieved.
“Fortunately, you guys didn’t do anything stupid, otherwise how would the show go on.”
Li Wei said with a smile.
The army continued to wait outside the city. All the gates of Regium had cavalry watching. It was impossible to sneak an attack.
It didn’t take long for a cavalryman to fly over.
“Report to the general that we have wiped out the enemy, killed more than 8,000 enemies, and captured more than 5,000 people.”
said the cavalry excitedly.
“Really, let’s withdraw after cleaning the battlefield.”
Li Wei said lightly, he glanced at the sky, and it was going to get dark soon.

There was a panic in Regium. People already knew the news of the annihilation of the two legions of Castus.
This made them extremely frightened. The continuous defeats made them lose their confidence. Can they beat the Romans?
Spartacus came to Sara’s room with a solemn expression, but after seeing Sara, all the dignity disappeared and turned into finger-like tenderness.
“Spartacus, don’t you mind.”
Sara said with a worried look.
“I’m fine, don’t worry. By the way, do you have food? I’m a little hungry.”
Spartacus hugged Sara and said.
“No, I will prepare it for you.”
Sarah said quickly.
“Let me help you.”
Spartacus said with a smile.
Sarah looked at him blankly. This is not a normal Spartacus. He has never helped himself with cooking. Could something big happen?
“Ok.”
Sarah did not refuse She personally made wheat porridge and prepared cheese, bread and various foods for him.
Spartacus was helping, Sarah looking for a conversation, trying to lighten the atmosphere.
“I will launch a night attack on the enemy tonight. If I don’t come back, you will have someone protect you and kill you. You will find a way to escape to Sicily.”
Spartacus said suddenly.
“Can’t you let others go?”
Sara asked.
“No, this is our last chance. If I don’t go, I will regret it forever.”
Spartacus said.
Sara looked at him quietly, and finally said softly: “I understand that no matter what happens, you are the hero in my mind.”
Spartacus hugged her fiercely, then kissed her affectionately.
After the two finished their last dinner, Spartacus left here, and at this time his fighting spirit was boiling.
“General!”
“General!”
“General!”
“……”
Outside a room in the municipal mansion, two rows of guards saluted. Spartacus nodded and walked in.
Ixion, Curius, and the three army commanders have been waiting for a long time. The rebel army used to have countless generals, but now there are only five people left.
