Chapter 95
Chapter 94 Defection
At this time, the crossbowmen, javelinmen, and slingers of the other legions had left the army, came to the forefront of the legion, and aimed at the Sura legion that continued to advance.
Some soldiers of the Second Army looked back at him with weird eyes, not knowing what, Brutus felt that those eyes were full of malice.
At this moment, a military security officer issued an order, the Eighth Battalion turned back collectively, then drew their javelins, and then looked at Brutus with malicious eyes.
The infantry phalanx of the Roman Legion is like this. It is divided into two rows as a whole. The first row is from right to left from the first group to the fifth group, and the second row from right to left is from the sixth group to the fifth group. The tenth team, so the eighth team is the closest to Brutus.
“What are you doing?”
Brutu said in horror. At this time, he didn’t notice that Getta, Leberis and others had already moved away from him.
“Throw the javelin!”
The military guarantor shouted loudly.
Following his order, densely packed javelins covered the sky, and then fell towards Brutus.
Brutus’s guards reacted in a timely manner, blocking his upper part with a shield.
But more of them penetrated their bodies and were nailed to the ground alive.
Brutus, as a lieutenant, is even more of their key target, with more than a dozen javelins stuck in his body, looking at all this in disbelief.
how could this be? Then he closed his eyes unwillingly.
Getta and Leberis showed joy on their faces, and it finally happened.
Following Geta’s order, the entire army was divided into two parts, and a large number of javelins were thrown at the Roman armies on both sides at the same time.
Without checking for a while, I don’t know how many Roman soldiers were nailed to death by javelins.
The Roman army was in chaos for a while, how could this be?
It is obviously a friendly army, how did it attack oneself?
Capua’s Second Army will not hesitate, after a new round of javelin shooting is completed, and then rush to the enemy army.
Watching all this nervously, Sura, Pompeo and others couldn’t help but overjoy. Li Wei really turned the corner, and the big deal was settled.
“Everyone is attacking! The three enemy armies have already taken refuge in us! Victory is here!”
Sura drew out her short sword and said loudly.
“Be careful that the one with the dragon pattern on the armor is your own, don’t kill it!”
The centurion who had been ordered long ago also ordered, and then killed the enemy.
The defection of the Capua Second Army was absolutely disastrous. The two Roman legions were attacked by the flanking Capua Second Army, and they were almost beaten, plus the enemy’s frontal charge.
Soon the left wing has a tendency to collapse. If Nobanus does not send troops to support it, the left wing will undoubtedly lose.
Nobanus was also stunned by this change, how could this be?
Did Li Wei rebel?
Not good, his right wing, and Capua’s Third Army!
Nobanus quickly reacted. At this moment, he vaguely saw that his right wing was also in chaos.
Not long after, a messenger ran over on a horse.
“Report to the Archon, Capua’s 3rd Corps turned to the enemy, and suddenly launched a surprise attack on the cavalry and the 5th Corps on my flanks. They suffered heavy losses. Lieutenant Dides asks you for help. If you don’t send reinforcements, he can’t stand it. .”
Hearing this, Nobanus’ eyes turned black and almost fell to the ground.
It’s over!
completely finished!
Li Wei!
You bastard!
I’m never finished with you!
Because he was worried that Li Wei’s two legions would hold together and would not obey the command, he deliberately placed them on the left and right wings, but he did not expect to cause more damage instead.
“The current plan is to withdraw to the camp before making plans. In addition, if possible, we should send troops to support the city of Capua.”
At this time, one of his staff members said.
“Yes, yes, withdraw first.”
Nobanus had no intention of competing with Sura now. It would be strange if he could win in this situation.
Capua City is estimated to be too bad, all he can do is to withdraw to the camp before making plans.
But as a famous player, Sura would withdraw as soon as he wanted to.
He brought nearly 7,000 cavalry soldiers, and once they retreated, it would be a slaughter.
The bugle sounded, and the cavalry placed on the two wings immediately began to charge.

On Capua City, a soldier standing guard rubbed his eyes, and a large number of dark shadows in the distance were moving towards Capua City.
“Enemy attack! Enemy attack!!”
the soldier shouted.
The wall immediately became tense, and a large number of soldiers walked up to the wall and began defensive work.
The ballista was opened, and one stone was aimed at the enemy. Even the catapult put the stone on.
The situation here immediately spread to Li Wei’s barracks at the fastest speed. It didn’t take long for the camp gates to open wide, and groups of soldiers left the barracks.
These soldiers were divided into two groups, one of which aimed at the city wall, and the other one rushed towards the mansion of Crileus.
Li Wei brought his bodyguards straight towards the city wall, and now the most important thing is to control the city wall and the city gate, and don’t let Nobanus’s men and horses come in.
“I want to attack with such a handful of manpower. I really don’t know how to live or die.”
Rustis said contemptuously.
There are less than three thousand enemies outside the city of Capua. Not to mention that there are no external trenches and strong thorns. Even if Rustis is in the field, he has the confidence to defeat them.
But out of caution Rustis has no plans to leave the city.
The soldiers were hiding out of the range of the ballista, and it seemed that they had no intention of attacking the city. This made Rustis feel puzzled. What do they mean?
At this moment, there was a large sound of footsteps behind the city wall.
Rustis looked back and found that a large number of soldiers were coming here.
Rustis frowned, why did Li Wei’s people come?
But someone attacked the city, he seemed normal when he came.
Li Wei walked up the city wall with a large number of soldiers, and those soldiers did not stop them.
“I heard someone came to attack the city.”
Li Wei walked over and said, a large number of soldiers followed him, arbitrarily squeezing Rustis’s men aside.
Those soldiers dared to be angry but didn’t dare to speak, after all, Li Wei’s power in Capua was really too great.
As Capua people, they still have to live here after all.
“There are less than three thousand people, and they did not attack the city.”
Rustis said.
He was extremely angry at Li Wei’s rudeness, but in the end he didn’t say anything.
“I heard that you leaked a lot of my secrets from the consul.”
Li Wei said lightly.
“Nothing, the consul just asks about ordinary trivial things.”
Rustis suddenly felt wary, what did he mean?
He looked around and found that he was surrounded by Li Wei’s men at some point.
The soldiers had murderous eyes and put their hands on the hilt of their swords, as if they did not agree with them.
Moreover, Li Wei’s men continued to flow up the city wall. Not long after, his people were everywhere on the city wall.
