Roman Slave Owner

Chapter 92 Long sword

Rome’s military laws are quite strict, but alcohol is not forbidden.

Not only soldiers can drink alcohol in peacetime, but also in wartime.

Later generations Caesar and Pompey were defeated in the first battle. Caesar led the army to retreat and still allowed the soldiers to drink a lot, even after occupying the city of Thessali, Goffi, let the soldiers drink as much as they want.

At that time, Caesar’s soldiers suffered from some diseases due to inadequate water and soil, but they were cured without medicine because of drinking wine.

“This is for disinfection and cleaning wounds for the wounded.”

explained a medical soldier.

“Disinfect? ​​What does this mean?”

asked Brutus.

“This is what the head of Li Wei’s family said. He didn’t give a specific explanation. He just asked that all the injured parts be cleaned with alcohol.”

the medical soldier said.

“alcohol?”

Brutus feels that his head is not enough, how come here is full of new terms.

“That’s it!”

The medical soldier pointed to a ampoule and said.

Brutus took it over and smelled it and found that the aroma of the wine came from here.

He licked it lightly. It smelled right, and it was very strong.

He remembered that some new wines produced by Levi were popular in Capua recently. Is it such a thing?

“Is this those spirits?”

“Basically the same.”

“How do these things work?”

asked Brutus.

“I don’t know for the time being, but 15 cavalry soldiers have been injured recently, and only one showed signs of discharge.”

said the medical soldier.

Brutus took a breath. Due to medical restrictions, wound infections after injuries on the battlefield in ancient times remained high, causing countless casualties.

Although these people may have been injured for a short period of time, it is very scary to be able to do so.

“Do you still have this kind of thing? Give me some.”

Brutus pointed to the alcohol and said.

“Yes, but if you want to reduce the casualty rate, you must not only rely on alcohol, but also have a good hygiene environment and system. For example, you can use cotton **** for disinfection, and many devices are best disposable, which can reduce cross-infection…”

The medical soldier then went on to say that this is actually a medical system from later generations.

Getta stared at the medical soldier viciously and said! Say your mother is a B!

Let them know all the secrets of the Second Army!

Brutus became more and more interested, and chatted with the medical soldier for a long time, until he said everything he knew.

“Let’s do it, you copy all your rules and regulations and send it to me.”

Before leaving, Brutus also dropped a few bottles of alcohol.

The medical soldier was smiling, he was valued by the lieutenant, and he didn’t notice the cannibalistic look in Geta’s eyes.

Sura’s army finally arrived, and they camped not far from Nobanus’s army.

The arrival of the Sura army made the atmosphere in Kapuya extremely tense. The city gate was closed, except for the army and civilians had been forbidden to leave the city.

People know that Nobanus’ promise of a Spanish grain ship is likely to fall apart. Recalling Hannibal’s experience in attacking Rome, Capua’s food has once again risen to an incredible height.

If Li Wei is willing to sell the grain in his hand, he can easily make a profit of more than ten million dinars. Unfortunately, how can he sell grain at this juncture?

In Li Wei’s manor, he gently stroked a long sword.

This sword is different from the Roman dagger, it is much slenderer than the Roman dagger, just like the Han sword. Moreover, the sword has a lot of moire. This is the only thirty-forged sword made by the blacksmith of the Li Wei family in half a year. Its value is immeasurable, and probably only a handful of swords in Eastern China can match it.

And forging this kind of iron is not simply braised steel. There are still some impurities in the Spanish block ironmaking. Li Wei retorted a large amount of Spanish block iron to the furnace to remove the impurities and smelted a brand new iron ingot.

This furnace of iron ingots only made two swords, and all the others were sealed up. He planned to use them for some experiments.

To realize his ambition, cold weapons alone may not be enough.

At this moment, Valence walked in with Hadrianus.

Li Wei motioned to the slaves around him to let them all go down.

“Is there a problem?”

Li Wei asked.

“The day after tomorrow, General Sura will have a decisive battle with Nobanus. Master Sura hopes that you can take Capua on that day.”

Hadrianus said.

“There is no problem, it’s just that there is a Capuya garrison in Capuya. It is not easy to win in a short time.”

Li Wei said.

“so what should I do now?”

Hadrianus frowned and asked.

“You can send an army to ambush nearby in advance.”

Li Wei said.

Hadrianus thought for a while, this would make Sura’s forces on the front battlefield more tense, and I don’t know whether Sura will agree.

“I will run again and tell General Sura what is happening here.”

Hadrianus said.

“sorry to bother you.”

Li Wei said.

Hadrianus looked at the sword in Li Wei’s hand a little strangely, how could this sword be so long.

Then he left here, and Valence followed and escorted him out.

finally reached this point, Li Wei thought.

It’s almost time for him to arrange it, it’s time to see the real chapter.

Not long after, another soldier came in.

“Report to the Patriarch, and one of the consul’s guards asks to see.”

“Let him in.”

Not long after a Roman soldier walked in.

“I have seen Master Li Wei.”

said the Roman soldier saluting.

Li Wei nodded, “What’s the matter?”

“The consul asked if you have something called alcohol?”

the soldier asked.

“Yes, what’s wrong.”

I didn’t expect to discover my good stuff so soon, doesn’t it seem that Nobanus is not a waste?

“The consul hopes to be able to buy some alcohol and orders you to send someone to provide necessary training to doctors in other corps.”

said the soldier.

“No problem, but my alcohol is very expensive. A small bottle costs 50 dinars. How much do you want, Lord Archon?”

Li Wei said with a smile, he always refused to come to customers, let alone win this battle in the future, just to grab it back and sell it again.

The corner of the soldier’s mouth twitched, which is really expensive.

It was Rome who paid the money anyway, not spending my money.

“The Archon said to buy 100 bottles first.”

“When will the money arrive, when will I send it to you.”

Li Wei said.

“Then say goodbye.”

After speaking, the soldier left here.

In the dark night, a hall of the barracks was brightly lit.

All the centurion and above officers of the First Army and the Guards gathered here to wait for Li Wei’s arrival. Everyone discussed the battle in a low voice, and they were extremely confident in this war.

With 10 legions against Sura’s 6 legions, they have a big win.

At this moment, Li Wei walked in with a few of his guards.
