In addition to the fierce fighting in the arena, the battle outside the east and west cities also entered a fever pitch.
"Third echelon, outflank them."
Alexander shouted, and the simply trained slave soldiers around him immediately blew the horn according to his order. For a moment, the sound of the horn spread throughout the battlefield.
On a real battlefield, shouting is basically useless. Human language can only spread within a certain range, and it cannot be heard no matter how far away it is. No matter how loud your voice is, it will become blurry hundreds of meters away, let alone
On the battlefield, distances of thousands or thousands of meters are considered small.
What really plays a liaison role on the battlefield is drums, gongs or horns. There is a Chinese word called Mingjin to withdraw troops. This gold refers to a metal device used for battlefield communication.
This is why soldiers must receive training before going to the battlefield, not only to train combat skills, but more importantly, to remember the syllables used for communication. I have to sigh here, thanks to these slave soldiers, they can
After receiving all kinds of unreasonable orders from the slave master, he has long been familiar with things like "remembering orders" and "obeying orders", and it has become a behavior close to instinct.
After all, the slave owner will always think of some ideas suddenly, and then as a slave, you have to implement them. You must remember that otherwise, you will be beaten and scolded at the least, and killed directly at the worst. Thanks to the training in this unreasonable situation
The state of mind that came out was that it was obviously just a makeshift army, but at least everyone could remember the signal set by Alexander.
"Oh my, my... you are indeed Alexander, who is as famous as me. Hmm."
On top of the city tower, a bloated and obese man dragged his chin with one hand. The large pieces of fat on his hands were like melted cheese, almost flowing down the gaps between his fingers.
Looking down from a high place, you can have a panoramic view of the entire battlefield.
Therefore, Caesar can easily control the entire battle situation. In this regard, he has a much greater advantage than Alexander. It is like two people playing chess, and one of them cannot see the chessboard. He is condescending and has an overview of the overall situation. Roman soldiers wear armor
With their red cloaks, they can be recognized at a glance, and most of the slave soldiers are shirtless. After all, slaves, all of them have no clothes. Even if they do have ordinary linen clothes, they can be distinguished at a glance.
On the battlefield, two distinct forces compete, mingle, and fight each other.
The number of slave soldiers was large, but their combat ability was weak. They were better at obeying Alexander's command.
Because the Roman soldiers divided a large group to defend the city and a large group to cover Caligula, they are now insufficient in number, but they are better because of their strong individual combat capabilities. Before the uprising, some of these slaves were specialized in burning fires and some were specialized in farming.
, how can it compare with soldiers who specialize in fighting?
but……
(As expected of Alexander, such a ragtag group of people gathered in one day can resist Rome's elite division. Well, although I have to take credit here... no, I take the lead.)
Thinking of this, Caesar nodded, and the smile on his lips became more obvious.
He has the skill [Incitement EX], which can be said to be the skill of a master of wisdom.
It's not about amplifying yourself, but about persuading others. This skill means just like its name. It's a language-based ability that can easily "incite" others.
Caesar's words have a special magic power, and it is always easy to be believed because of this skill. Simply put, this is an upgraded skill of Caesar's words, which can be used to reason, move people with emotion, lure them to gain, and force them to do so.
Use force, use all available talents, and use words to create the situation you need, a wise man's ability.
At the beginning, Caesar secretly helped Alexander instigate a slave rebellion. Thanks to this skill, he cleverly exploited the dissatisfaction of the slaves, then made circumstantial moves to expand small cracks into gaps, then inserted explosives, and the entire bomb collapsed in one breath.
Without Caesar's assistance, the uprising would have been delayed for at least a week.
Of course, although this seems to be Caesar's collaboration with the enemy, only those who truly understand will understand what a disadvantage this is to Alexander.
It's what I mentioned before, [training degree]. There are thirty or forty thousand people who have never received combat training. Do you want them to explode into combat effectiveness in one day? This is almost impossible.
But on the contrary, if you give him a week, these people with no fighting ability can become slightly successful killers.
It takes a lot of time to train people into warriors, but it only takes a short time to train people into murderous weapons. One week is enough.
Caesar's instigation directly caused Alexander to lose time to train slaves. Otherwise, on the battlefield, it would be a large number of slave soldiers with average quality fighting against a sparse number of Roman soldiers with high quality, and the casualties would be much heavier.
Although it seems to be assisting the enemy, it actually reduces the enemy's combat effectiveness to the maximum extent. Rebellion is impossible to eliminate anyway. The oppression of slaves by the Romans resulted in: as long as someone instigates rebellion, there will definitely be rebellion.
Caesar was a genius at inciting, but not a genius at appeasing... He was very good at inciting rebellions, but if he was asked to appease the rebels? That would be unrealistic.
Now what Caesar is doing is like that joke, because Caesar can't cure a cold, so he will find a way to make the patient suffer from hepatitis, and then treating hepatitis is his specialty. First push the other party to the point of rebellion, and then use his genius
Tactical thinking, directly suppressing the rebellion... This kind of crazy way of thinking can only be thought of by geniuses or madmen. 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, now..."
"Ah? That's how you understand it?"
The soldier next to Caesar saw his happy face and was about to come over to flatter him and ask about his next strategy. However, he received such a response from Caesar that he didn't know what to say.
"Well, forget it, it's almost done... Oops... Nero is really impatient. That's all, I'll leave the battle here to you."
As Caesar said this, he put his hands on the chair, almost as if he had pulled himself out of the chair, and was about to leave the city gate with long strides. The Roman soldiers hurried over: "Lord Caesar?!"
"Ah? It's okay, it's okay. Didn't you say you were blocking the advance of the traitors? Now His Majesty Nero needs me, so I'll trouble you to continue to block it. Come on, I'll give you promotions when I get back."
Caesar dismissed them casually.
You can write as many bad checks as you want.
Anyway, for the dead, they have no ability to receive it.
He didn't even notice that the battle situation was beginning to favor Alexander.
As expected of a genius in combat, he took advantage of his numerical advantage to divide the Roman army and surround them all.
From this moment on, it was Caesar's failure.
If it were a normal war, who would devour the besiegers and the besieged would depend on the strength of the army. However, this is not a normal war.
Alexander is a Heroic Spirit and a Servant. As long as he releases the Noble Phantasm, those black horses of the Divine Horse will leap into a circle surrounded by only the Roman army, which will be a one-sided massacre.
From the moment the encirclement was formed, I lost.
Because...Caesar was too lazy to jump off the tower and fight with his own sword. That was not in line with the title of a consul or a general.
and……
(Has Nero turned into a hero again? This is His Majesty’s summons, right. Caligula, don’t be so obsessed with the battlefield that you forget His Majesty’s summons.)
