The system has to be used even if it is pulled

The troops were marching, although the mountain road was steep and the forest was dense, but every soldier had the belief that Rome would win, and the army passed through the dense forest silently.

Silanus led his men to crouch low in the bushes and listen to the scouts' report.

The enemy's stone-throwing troops were right in front of them, and there were only three teams of soldiers guarding them, and they had not received any information yet.

Silanus called a brief meeting of his centurions and decided to adopt a feint to the east and attack in the west. He would lead a large force to attract two enemy troops, while Zhao Yuanlang would lead his men to kill the slinging troops.

After the tactical discussion, Silanus led his men to move slowly towards the dense forest by the river, while Zhao Yuanlang led his hundred-man team to ambush quietly in the woods.

As Silanus led his troops into the enemy's field of vision, the enemy soldiers quickly formed a battle formation and engaged in battle.

Seeing that the time had come, Zhao Yuanlang led his soldiers and rushed towards the enemy's catapult troops.

"Brothers, follow me! Destroy their catapults, for Capua, for Rome." Zhao Yuanlang rushed out first.

The enemy's main general stationed in the slingshot unit panicked and found that he had no soldiers available. The three troops were entangled in the distance, and he only had a few guards and a group of unarmed trebuchets.

The result was obvious, crushing the enemy with ease. After Zhao Yuanlang used his shield to kill the enemy's main general in the stone pestle of the catapult, the enemy's slingers were quickly defeated. Then Zhao Yuanlang used the enemy's kerosene to ignite all the trebuchets and quickly led his troops to support Silanus below.

The Samnite commander was no idler. When he saw the flames burning in the trebuchet troops, he knew that it was too late to save the destroyed trebuchet troops, so he intensified his attack on the Roman legions outside Capua.

Governor Reinas originally wanted to defend the bridge, but he was outnumbered and the enemy broke through the blockade, successfully overwhelmed the bridge guarding troops, and began to divide and encircle Governor Reinas's legion.

Although the trebuchet troops were successfully annihilated, the situation was very serious. Silanus shouted: "Soldiers, we can't wait for rescue any longer. Capua is in danger. We have to raise troops for a thousand days and use them for a moment. With the enemy at hand, there is still glory waiting for us to win! For Rome, move forward."

The enemy commander had already noticed this force and sent out six teams of soldiers to form a defensive formation. Silanus knew that his decapitation plan would not work, so he decided to lead his troops through the shallows of the river and then defend against the Samnites' attack at the city gate.

The enemy commander understood his intention immediately and sent two teams of cavalry and two teams of infantry to attack Silanus.

Silanus was facing a severe test. He could not be entangled. The legions under Consul Reinas were in danger and had been divided and surrounded. Defeat was imminent, and at that time Capua would be really finished.

Only by breaking the siege and successfully entering the city can we rely on the advantages of the city walls to hold out until more reinforcements arrive.

Zhao Yuanlang knew that this was the turning point of the entire battle. As long as Silanus successfully crossed the river and broke the encirclement of Archon Reinas, he could wait for reinforcements to arrive and then win.

But the enemy is numerous and we are few, so someone must stay behind to block the enemy's interference troops, otherwise the troops will be entangled and the matter will be over. After thinking it over, Zhao Yuanlang ran to Reinas and said, "Sir, let me stay and block the enemy, and you can cross the river."

Silanus frowned and said, "No way, you can't stop them. One of their cavalry charges can break through your line."

Looking at the enemy cavalry approaching, Silanus smiled and said, "We are not losing. You see, their troops are far behind the cavalry. I need you to hold back their two infantry teams and let the cavalry come over. Their mission should be to interfere with us, not to destroy us. We just need to quickly entangle their cavalry and destroy them, then we can cross the river, and the rest depends on you."

Zhao Yuanlang frowned and said: "The cavalry charge is no joke. The soldiers have been fighting continuously and are very tired."

But Zhao Yuanlang had no better solution. He wanted to say a few more words, but Silanus said to Zhao Yuanlang with a serious face: "Follow my orders! Centurion!"

Zhao Yuanlang had no choice but to return to his own troops and order his men to form a battle formation.

Sure enough, the enemy's cavalry unit did not pay attention to Zhao Yuanlang's unit at the end of the team, but rushed directly towards the central army.

What a miracle! Silanus actually blocked the enemy's cavalry attack with his soldiers, trapping the enemy's cavalry in a quagmire.

Zhao Yuanlang knew that it was time for him to act. He quickly ordered his soldiers to move forward and form a formation to prepare for the two infantry units rushing towards him.

The two sides finally collided. Because of the numerical disadvantage, Zhao Yuanlang had to shrink his front line and resist enemies that were twice his number.

In just a short while, Silanus actually eliminated the enemy cavalry unit, and then led his soldiers to quickly cross the shallows.

Watching the soldiers around him fall one after another, although Zhao Yuanlang knew that this was a game, he was inevitably disturbed by the atmosphere and felt a little sad. He could only place his hopes on Silanus.

Zhao Yuanlang shouted: "Soldiers, whether we live or die, we are always pursuing glory! Long live Rome!"

"Viva Rome"

The enemy troops were so shocked by this shout that they slowed down their attack.

Congratulations to the host for comprehending the general skills, primary morale, and primary war cry. The system pops up a dialog box.

Primary Morale: A small atmosphere improves the morale of the troops, the effect lasts for fifteen minutes, with an interval of half a day.

Primary Battle Cry: Reduces the morale of enemy troops in a small area and reduces enemy attack and speed. The effect lasts for fifteen minutes, with an interval of half a day.

Wow! Zhao Yuanlang just realized that he could gain skills. He wanted to ask the system a few more questions, but found that the system was silent again.

As time went by, there were only about 30 people left around Zhao Yuanlang. The weapons in their hands were too poor, and the swords had long been bent. Zhao Yuanlang waved his shield and kept hitting the enemies who surrounded him.

At this moment, bursts of trumpets sounded from the distant hills, and one cavalry unit after another appeared on the hills.

There were ten cavalry teams in total. They advanced slowly in the sunset and then began to accelerate.

"Reinforcements! Yes, reinforcements! The Lucanians are our reinforcements! God has not abandoned us, long live! Long live Rome! Brothers, charge with me!" Zhao Yuanlang shouted happily as he watched the reinforcements rushing towards the Samnite army.

The enemy commander frowned. Damn it! He was just one step away from breaking through Capua.

The enemy commander signaled the trumpeter beside him to blow the retreat horn, and then quickly led his guards to flee.

As the enemy commander withdrew, other troops also began to withdraw. However, the other enemies who were anxiously waiting on the battlefield were unable to withdraw from the battle immediately and were torn apart and wiped out one after another.

Victory was won, and Zhao Yuanlang obtained five centurion heads in this battle.

All the troops gathered outside the city of Capua to celebrate the victory, but Silanus looked unhappy.

It seems that the consul was still seriously injured. "Sir, what happened? We won." Zhao Yuanlang asked pretending to be ignorant.

"The Archon is seriously injured and the situation is not optimistic."

"We can only hope that the gods will bless him."
