Insert chapter、The battle outside the city of Rome

In addition to the fierce fighting in the gladiatorial arena, the battle outside the east and west cities also entered the white heat.

"The third echelon, outflanked it."

Alexander shouted this, and the slave soldiers around him, who had undergone simple training, immediately followed his orders and blew the horn, and for a while, the sound of the horn spread throughout the battlefield.

On a real battlefield, shouting is basically useless. Human language can only spread a certain range, and it cannot be heard farther. No matter how loud your voice is, it will become blurry from hundreds of meters, not to mention that on the battlefield, the distance of thousands of meters is small-scale.

What really plays a liaison role on the battlefield is the beat of drums, gongs or horns, and there is a word in China called Mingjin to collect troops, which refers to a kind of metal instrument used for battlefield communication.

This is why soldiers must be trained before going into battle, not only to train combat skills, but also to memorize these syllables for communication. I have to sigh here, thanks to these slave soldiers who accept all kinds of unreasonable orders under the slave owners on weekdays, they have long been familiar with the things of "remembering orders" and "obeying orders", and they have turned into an act close to instinct.

After all, slave owners will always think of certain ideas out of nowhere, and then they have to carry them out as slaves. It must be remembered that otherwise, you will be beaten and scolded at the least, and killed directly. Thanks to the state of mind honed in this unreasonable situation, it was obviously only a makeshift army, at least everyone could remember the signal set by Alexander.

"Oops, oops...... It's really like Alexander, who is on the same level as me. Uh-huh. ”

Above the castle tower, the bloated and fat man dragged his chin with one hand, and the large pieces of fat on his hands were like melted cheese, almost running down the cracks of his fingers.

From a high vantage point, you can see the entire battlefield.

Therefore, Caesar was able to control the entire battle situation with ease. In this respect, he has a much greater advantage than Alexander. It's like two people playing chess and one of them can't see the board. Get a condescending overview of the big picture. The Roman soldiers were dressed in armor and red cloaks, which were instantly recognizable, while most of the slave soldiers were shirtless, after all, slaves, everyone had no clothes, and even if they did, they were all ordinary linen clothes, which could be distinguished at a glance.

On the battlefield, the two forces that are clearly divided are fighting, blending, and fighting each other.

The slave soldiers were numerous, but they were weak in combat, and they were able to obey Alexander's command.

The Roman soldiers were divided into a large group to defend the city, and a large group to cover Caligula, now the number is insufficient, but the victory is strong in individual combat ability, these slaves before the uprising, some of them are specialized in fire, there are special farming, where can compare to the soldiers who specialize in fighting?

But......

(True to Alexander, this rabble assembled in a single day could resist the elite army of Rome.) Well, although here I have my credit...... No, my head work. )

Thinking of this, Caesar nodded, and the smile on the corner of his mouth became more obvious.

Keep the skill [Incitement EX], which can be said to be the skill of the master of wisdom.

Not to amplify oneself, but to persuade others, this skill means just like its name, it is a verbal ability that can easily [incite] others.

Caesar's words have a special magic that is always easy to be convinced because of this skill. To put it simply, this is the skill of Caesar's words, the ability of the wise man to know reason, move to emotion, induce to benefit, force force, use all the talents that can be used, and use language to create the situation he needs.

At the beginning, Caesar secretly helped Alexander incite a slave rebellion, thanks to this skill, skillfully starting from the dissatisfaction in the hearts of the slaves, and then striking sideways, expanding the small cracks into gaps, and then stuffing explosives, the whole bombardment collapsed in one breath.

Without Caesar's assistance, the revolt would have dragged on for at least a week.

Of course, although this seems to be Caesar's collaboration, only those who really understand it will understand, and what a disadvantage this is for Alexander.

It's what I mentioned before, [Training]. Thirty or forty thousand people who have never received combat training, you want him to burst into combat effectiveness within a day? It's almost impossible.

But on the contrary, if you give him a week, then these people who have no combat effectiveness can become a slightly small killer.

It takes a considerable amount of time to train people into warriors, but it only takes a short time to train people into weapons to kill, and a week is enough.

Caesar's instigation directly deprived Alexander of time to train slaves. Otherwise, on the battlefield, it will become a large number, and the number of medium-quality slave soldiers will be scarce, and the high-quality Roman soldiers will suffer much more casualties.

Although it seems to be assisting the enemy, it actually minimizes the enemy's combat effectiveness. Rebellion was impossible to extinguish anyway, and the oppression of slaves by the Romans led to the fact that as long as someone instigated it, it was certain that there would be rebellion. Caesar was a genius of incitement, but not of appeasement...... He is very good at letting him incite rebellion, if it is for him to pacify the rebels? That's not realistic.

Now Caesar is doing things like that joke, because Caesar doesn't cure colds, so he will find a way to make patients become hepatitis, and then treating hepatitis is his forte. First force the opponent to the point of rebellion, and then use your genius tactical thinking to directly quell the rebellion...... This kind of crazy way of thinking is something that only a genius or a madman can think of. After all, there is only a thin line between these two kinds of people.

"Your Majesty Caesar, our army has blocked the advance of the thieves, and now ......"

"Huh? That's how you understand it? ”

The little soldier next to Caesar looked at him with a happy face, and was about to come over to make a sycophant, and by the way, he asked about the next strategy, but he got Caesar's response like this, so that he didn't know what to say.

"Well, forget it, it's almost...... Oops, oops...... Nero was really anxious. That's it, the battle here is up to you. ”

Caesar said, propping his hands on the chair, almost pulling himself out of the chair, and was about to leave the city gate with great strides, when the Roman soldiers hurried over: "Lord Caesar?!" ”

"Huh? It's okay, it's okay. Didn't you say that you would stop the advance of the thieves? Now His Majesty Nero needs me, so I'm sorry for you to continue to block it. Come on. I'll give you a promotion when I come back. ”

Caesar casually dismissed them.

This kind of blank check can be written as much as you want.

Anyway, for the dead, they can't afford to take it.

Alexander didn't even notice that the tide of the battle had begun to tilt in his favor.

Worthy of a genius in battle, he took advantage of the numerical superiority to divide the Roman army and surround everyone.

From this moment on, it was Caesar's defeat.

If it is a normal war, who will swallow up the besieged and the encircled depends on the training of the army, but this is not a normal war.

Alexander was a heroic spirit, a servant. As long as he liberates the Noble Phantasm, the dark horses of the gods leap into the circle of only the Roman army, which is a one-sided massacre.

From the moment the encirclement was formed, it was a loss for oneself.

Because...... Caesar was too lazy to jump from the tower and fight with his sword. That's too much to do with the name of an archon or a general.

And......

(Is Nero spiritualized again?) This is Your Majesty's summoning. Caligula, don't get too caught up in the battlefield and forget Your Majesty's summons. )
