one hundred and seventy-nine
So under this kind of treatment, in 73 BC, when Spartacus couldn't bear it anymore, he said to his companions: He would rather die on the battlefield for freedom than for the noble master.
They died in the arena for fun!
In fact, Spartacus is very powerful. The fact that he can survive in the arena for so many years shows how powerful he is. You must know that Spartacus needs to fight with talking tools every day, and even with large beasts such as lions.
They were fighting, so it is not difficult to imagine what kind of person Spartacus was. If this were placed in a slightly ancient era in our human history, Spartacus would be the absolute God of War! An absolute mythical figure.
He is even millions of times more powerful than the God of War in mythology. In fact, this is not an exaggeration. What kind of environment creates what kind of people? This sentence is originally the truth.
So as a group of talking tools, although they understood that Spartacus had killed too many talking tools and too many large beasts, they also understood that Spartacus was not messing around.
Said, so far, these talking tools, they very much agree with Spartak's words.
So this group of talking tools, under the instigation of Spartak, picked up the knives and forks in the kitchen. In order to fight for the freedom in their hearts, Spartak secretly led the seventy-eight characters
The fighters killed the Roman guards guarding them and fled to the mountains of Suva. At this time, Spartacus was elected as the leader of the rebels.
After the Spartacus rebellion broke out, many talking tools during the escape, and even Roman peasants, joined the team. The resistance grew to more than 10,000 people almost instantly, and this resistance
The army continued to attack, because at this time the laws of the Roman Empire itself had very serious problems, so the number and even nature of the soldiers had undergone earth-shaking changes, which caused Spartacus's army to quickly defeat many places.
The Roman garrison and the resistance force also began to grow, and their scope of influence became wider and wider.
After learning about the resistance of the Talking Tools, the Roman Senate immediately sent the general Cadius, and then led more than 3,000 Roman legions to encircle and suppress them. Mount Vesuvius is a cliff mountain, and behind the mountain are cliffs.
, Kedius led the army to block the mountain road, trying to trap Spartacus's army on the mountain.
While Spartacus ordered his troops to attract the attention of the Roman army in front, he also ordered others to weave rope ladders out of wild grape vines, go down the mountain along the rope ladder at night, and then go around to the back of the Roman army. At this time, the Roman legions
Discipline is no longer very strict, so they don't have to dig trenches and be very vigilant like they did before, even if they only sleep for one night in a certain place. So far, the Roman army is sleeping in tents, and they are still sleeping.
It's very fragrant.
Spartacus immediately led the army and launched an attack on the sleeping Roman legions. Under the sudden attack of Spartacus's army, the Roman legions fell into chaos and were defeated in an instant. Even the Roman generals
Kedius even escaped from the battle. After his panicked escape, Spartacus's reputation greatly increased! Many talking heads, and even many Roman civilians, who did not believe that Spartacus's resistance could succeed before, this
He also joined Spartacus's team, and suddenly Spartacus' team became stronger!
After Spartacus's resistance army grew stronger, Spartacus decided to move the team to northern Italy where Rome's military strength was relatively weak. At this time, the Roman Senate ordered another general named Valinius to order Valinius.
Linius led more than 12,000 Roman soldiers to conduct a three-pronged interception against Spartacus' army.
However, Spartacus adopted a strategy of defeating each one, and defeated two Roman armies one after another! From here, it is not difficult to see that the Roman legions during this period no longer seemed to have much combat effectiveness, because these Roman warriors simply
They don't want to fight, because fighting has no benefit for them, and they will lose their lives. More importantly, the current Roman army can be said to be threatened by the nobles to fight.
So after Spartacus defeated the two armies, the two failed Roman legions merged with the third legion and continued to counterattack, trapping Spartacus's army in a cave. But this seemed to make Spartacus
Bardock's army just had the opportunity to repair, so after the repairs were completed, the rebels lit a bonfire in the camp and blew the horns to confuse the enemy, but took advantage of the night to break through the siege through the rugged trails. After dawn,
The Roman legions realized that they had fallen into a trap and hurriedly pursued them. However, Spartacus's army used the terrain to set up an ambush and caught the Roman legions by surprise. Therefore, Spartacus's army won!
But at this time, the Roman legion was still very strong. After all, no one disliked money, so the nobles were willing to pay more money to recruit soldiers, and then use these paid soldiers to coerce more people to become soldiers.
And Spartacus's army can be said to be very poor. This is the truth that has not changed in our human history: All of us like to listen to the words of good people, but we want to do evil with evil people.
Therefore, it was not until 72 BC that Spartacus's army grew to 12,000 men. Spartacus also organized the army at this time, which was based on the organization of the Roman legions. In addition to several legions
In addition to the infantry, they also established cavalry, scouts, signal corps and small transport troops. In addition, Spartacus and his army were poor because they could not recruit people and could not carry out more effective burning, killing and looting, so he organized
The army made weapons together, trained its soldiers, and formulated very strict rules for barracks and marching life.
Therefore, Spartacus's resistance army was very powerful at this time, because there were almost no soldiers in the Roman legions. Except for those who had no choice but to have their wives and children in Rome and were threatened by the nobles, they could serve as soldiers.
It was said that there were almost no soldiers and horses, and at this point, the control of relatively distant places was not enough. Spartacus took the opportunity to control the entire Campania Plain. At this time, Spartacus obtained some resources, so this
He was ready to continue going north, but this suggestion conflicted with his deputy, Crixus. Crixus refused to go north because he was afraid of the Roman legions, so he led some troops to stay in place.
At this time, the Roman Senate began to worry about the development of the rebels, and ordered two legions to encircle and suppress the rebels. The Roman legions first gave a fatal blow to the remaining Clixus army, and even Clixus himself
They were all killed. It can be said that the battlefield was full of blood and flesh, and it was very miserable! Then the Roman legions divided into two groups, and they attacked Spartacus's army.
Spartacus's army first concentrated its forces to attack the blocking Roman legion. Because the Roman legion at this time had almost no combat effectiveness, Spartacus took advantage of the victory and launched a fierce attack on the Roman legion that was pursuing them. The Roman legion was because of its combat effectiveness.
The reason for the decline indeed, failed miserably again!
After this victory, Spartacus knew his situation, so he no longer moved north, but moved his army south to Sicily. The Roman Senate was panicked! Because Sicily is the main resource
and the place where slaves were born, so the Roman Senate was really angry this time! Then instead of sending generals, they sent the Roman commander Crassus to lead six legions and about 90,000 Roman soldiers to suppress the slaves.
Bardock's Resistance.
This time is different from before. We can say that the Roman Legion has an absolute numerical advantage this time, and they are still commander-level people, no longer generals. This is definitely not as simple as a joke.
At this time, Spartacus's army had already advanced into the southern part of the Italian peninsula, which was very weakly defended. They were preparing to cross the sea from here to Sicily and establish their own regime there. However, the pirates who had been bribed by Sicily and broke the contract did not provide them with ships.
, so Spartacus had to organize his army to build a raft, but the storm at sea made him abandon this plan.
It was at this time that the Roman army arrived and dug a very large trench behind the Spartacus army, cutting off the Spartacus army's retreat. At this point, the Spartacus army had no choice but to return to counterattack.
They filled the trenches with soil and branches and broke through the Roman army's defense line. However, Spartacus's army also suffered heavy losses, losing about two-thirds of its troops. This is still a factor in the current low combat effectiveness of the Roman army. If not for this, Spartacus's army would have suffered a heavy loss.
Bardock's army should have been wiped out long ago.
But no matter what, the leader of Spartacus is still there, and the army has not been wiped out by the Roman legion, because the current Roman legion no longer likes to do this kind of thing. They only came to serve as soldiers out of helplessness.
, it is best if they can save their own lives. No one is willing to go into battle and kill the enemy crazily. They are not protecting the city of Rome, so they really have no high fighting spirit.
At this point, the Spartacus leader led his remaining army to be temporarily out of danger. In the spring of about 71 BC, after passing the growing Spartacus army, he tried to occupy the important port of Bull in southern Italy.
West, take a boat across the sea to Greece, and then to Thrace. However, the Roman Senate wanted to suppress Spartacus's resistance as soon as possible, so they sent Pompey's army and Lucululus from Spain and Thrace respectively.
Troops were brought in to reinforce Crassus.
We have to understand that Commander Crassus currently has more than 90,000 Roman troops in his hands. He can't even suppress the Spartacus army of less than 10,000 people. What kind of concept is this? Moreover, reinforcements are still needed.
