Ancient Rome: Beginning With The Legionnaire

"As long as half a month, as little as a week, I can lead the army back to Italy!"

Sextus said to his companion Phillips confidently.

After all, the Italians have been up and down for hundreds of years.

The two ruling parties did not pay attention to it at all.

Even Babius defeated Gaius Durat and Plath.

With the fierceness of the Roman legion, the two consuls are very confident in defeating the rebels.

"We don't have a lot of time! We must actively prepare for war!"

Persuaded by Pompidius, Babius gave up the idea of ​​directly marching into Rome.

The two lacked real intelligence about the city of Rome.

It is rumored that there are three legions defending the city of Rome!

The two mistakenly thought that 500 were three field legions. If there are field legions defending the city, you need at least twice as many troops to break through.

And it's a protracted battle.

It is impossible to capture the city of Rome in a short time.

Now the elites of the Roman Republic are all there, but by then the Roman legion will press up and face the enemy, and the uprising will surely fail.

But in fact, there are only three security corps in Rome, and the total number is just a little bit.

Sextus is betting.

Bet that Pompidius and Babius dare not go directly into Rome.

The radical Babius failed to convince Pompidius in the end.

Abandoned the plan to directly attack the city of Rome.

"Then how do we defend next? Gather our forces in one place!?" (ccde)

What Babius thought was to gather his forces in one place.

In this case, together with the auxiliary soldiers recruited temporarily, their strength has reached 18 legions.

The power of 18 legions is enough to destroy the world.

Now there are only 30 legions in the Roman legion. Before Babius wiped out two legions in southern Italy, there are still 28 legions.

The 28 legions of the Roman Republic are all elite field legions.

Babius wants to gather all his forces together and fight the opponent for the final decisive battle.

"Master Babius! It is unwise for us to be with soldiers now!"

We still have our own territories to guard, and our strategic rear must not be lost.

And the enemy will come from at least two directions.

As many as 11 legions are stationed in the turbulent Balkans.

And there are 6 legions in North Africa, maintaining strong pressure on Egypt.

At the same time, there are 5 legions in the direction of Gaul.

The remaining legions are scattered everywhere.

"I think the opponent will focus on attacking us from at least two directions, the south and the north!"

Pompidius thought the current consul was young and vigorous.

After all, the two will definitely personally command the legion and attack from different directions.

And they will not allow other veterans to lead troops.

"At that time, we will attack from the north and the south, and defeat the Marci and Samnai in one fell swoop! Finally, we will join forces under the city of Rome, how about it?"

Sextus said vigorously.

"Okay, that's the deal!"

Inside Rome!

More than 10 elders gathered in Su La's study.

"Master Su La! We just waited for Mom for so long. Didn't the credit for the rebels be snatched by those two teenage boys!"

As the consul of the older generation, Albinus has always been uncomfortable with the behavior of the two current consuls.

According to Roman law.

In case of special circumstances, the consul has the right to command the national legion.

This made Albinus quite unhappy, because no matter what, the two consuls would have made enough capital in the war.

If the war is very long, it is also possible for them to be re-elected.

"Right now we just have to wait and see!"

Regarding this! Su La also has no good solution, the other elders of the Senate had already criticized him quite a lot.

After all, Drusus died at the hands of Didius.

Dinius is the confidant of Sulla's faction.

The spearhead of the Senate these days, more or less you are going to be on Sulla.

If you take drastic actions now, it is very likely to arouse criticism from other elders.

"Since the two consuls are not here, why don't we rescue Didius?"

Albinus made another bold proposal.

Su La put down the pen he was writing, and at this moment he was already on the verge of erupting. .
