Ancient Rome: Start with the legionnaire

The sun had just risen, and two groups of men and horses walked out from the 13th Legion station.

The commander of the legion, Kateus, led three brigades of troops north into the Red River Valley.

Deputy Corps Commander Brian led a lancer formation to the south, preparing to go to the city of Barcelona.

It is the largest city in the Iberian province.

Lancer procession: Elderly soldiers in procession, ranging in number from 60 to 120, named because the main weapon is a short gun, also known as the reserve.

There is an ancient Roman proverb: things develop to reserves, metaphorically when things reach a moment of great urgency.

“Lord Brian, why did you give up the Red River Valley to the Legionnaires, according to the regulations, you can monopolize the Red River Valley?”

Centurion Polo looked at Brian with a puzzled expression.

It’s not at all like Brian’s approach.

“Polo! How much gold did we dig up on our last day? ”

“About forty or fifty pounds!”

The amount of bare dog’s head gold on the riverbed is limited.

Two days ago, three brigades of troops were gathered and nearly 900 pounds of gold were dug up.

But on the third day, the gold dug up was already numbered.

If you want more gold, you must use professional equipment to dig deep into the ground.

The Roman legions were field armies, and although there were many skilled craftsmen in the legions, they were unable to produce specialized equipment.

“Isn’t that enough? Give him a legion, it is estimated that he will not be able to dig up much! ”

Then Brian smiled wickedly and looked at the centurion beside him.

Of course, without professional equipment, it will be difficult to dig out sufficient amounts of gold.

And Brian shared the Red River Valley with Kateus for another reason.

That is, after the other party relaxes his vigilance, at the right time, Brian directly kills him from behind, thereby gaining control of the entire legion.

“Don’t you, my dear centurion, like those women in the Getaway?”

Men come out to serve in the army, one for money, the other for women.

At the mention of women, Polo immediately came to the spirit.

Some time ago, a group of Gallic slaves were captured, and several of them were in good shape.

However, after the leader of the other party was played by the deputy legion leader, he actually ordered them all to be released.

Polo hasn’t put out a fire for a long time.

And with Brian during this time, Polo made a lot of money, enough to have 7 gold coins.

“How could I not like it? Their bodies are so soft! ”

As he spoke, Polo’s eyes showed a greedy gaze, as if there was really a beautiful woman in front of him.

“All right! Stop daydreaming and keep going! ”

The Iberian province was the later Spain, with a temperate maritime climate in the north and a Mediterranean climate in the south.

Bryan’s Castile has a temperate oceanic climate.

It is wooded and often has some small tribes of barbarians robbing pedestrians on the road.

But Brian wasn’t worried about this at all, he had a line of elite Roman soldiers.

Late at night, troops were stationed by the creek.

There is still a day to go to reach the city of Bassa.

A mile away, shouts of killing were heard, and the surrounding woods were set ablaze.

“Lord Brian! There is a situation outside! ”

Polo shouted as he stood next to Brian’s tent.

And Brian rushed out in just a casual outfit, and now there is no time to wear his brilliant muscle plate armor.

“What happened to Polo?”

Brian looked up and saw Polo carrying a weak servant in his hand.

Polo, on the other hand, threw him directly on the ground.

“This! It’s our great Brian Deputy Legion Elder, what is there to say quickly! ’”

The servant was obviously frightened and dumbfounded, and his words stuttered.

“Adults hurry up and help, go and save my wife!”

Your wife?

Brian touched his smooth chin and said.

In ancient Rome, the status of women was extremely low.

Those who can be called ladies should be either some noblewoman or a merchant.

“Yes, please send troops to save my wife, it’s late, but it’s too late!”

The servant kept kowtowing on the ground.

“How many people are on the other side? I can’t see the piece of black pressure clearly, there are at least dozens of people! And each of them is painted with a special color, which is difficult to distinguish in the darkness of the night”

A thought popped into Brian’s mind!

Blue Iberians, they would apply special pigments to their bodies, giving the whole body a purple-biased blue.

This color is the most difficult to distinguish in the dark.

So the Blue Iberians often used this method to loot or assassinate in the dark.

“Polo, wake up everyone! I’d like to see if those blue Iberians are people or ghosts!? ”

“Yes! Deputy Legion Leader! ”

……

“O great Jupiter! Please save poor Yulia! ”

A noble lady in the carriage prayed incessantly.

Just 10 minutes earlier, after being attacked by a gang, Yulia sent his cronies to the nearby firelight for help.

There were only about 10 people left in her entourage, and in the periphery were dozens of ghost-like guys who couldn’t see their faces.

“Don’t move that woman, I’ll live.”

At this moment, a bald man separated, and everyone stepped forward.

He, like everyone else, is painted with special blue paint all over his body.

“What about the rest of the boss?”

“The others are worthless, kill them all, as long as that noble lady can do it!”

I saw the giant man give an order, and dozens of blue Iberians around rushed towards the carriage.

At this moment, there was a tight pace from a distance.

It seems that the army is marching in general.
