Using Pompeii's strategy, the three thousand elite soldiers led by Claudius finally blocked the Spartan rebel army on Mount Vesuvius. According to Pompeii's strategy, the gladiator empire's army should have surrounded Stay at all the exits of Mount Vesuvius, wait for the rebel army to run out of food, and win the battle without a single soldier.

However, the Senate did not have the patience to continue waiting, and gave Claudius a death order, and must take down the rebel army within a few days to quell the fighting. The Senate also knew that the best way was to encircle and not fight, but they really couldn't wait for such a long time.

Due to the successful uprising of Sparta, there have been many imitators in the Gladiator Empire. The Gladiator Empire, which is full of flames, does not have much time for Claudius to slowly wipe out the rebel army.

The Senate only wanted to quickly eliminate the rebel army headed by Sparta, so as to play the role of knocking mountains and shaking tigers, and quelling all kinds of restless forces in the gladiator empire.

For the order of the Senate, Claudius was anxious about his officers again and discussed a feasible solution. When the crowd gathered, Claudius first said: "Regarding the order of the Senate, do you have any good countermeasures? If you attack the mountain rashly, the rebel army will hold all the main roads up the mountain. Caused serious casualties. For the current gladiator empire, every qualified soldier is an inestimable and important asset."

Claudius' meaning is obvious, he doesn't want his soldiers to wear out too much, and he doesn't want to waste time with the rebels here.

Hearing Klaus' request, all his subordinates were immediately in trouble, unable to come up with a feasible solution for a while, and no one chose to speak rashly.

"What about you, is there any good way?" Seeing that no one spoke, Claudius took the initiative to ask Pompeii beside him. The opponent's performance since the march was obvious to all, so Claudius once again put his expectant eyes on the young man in front of him.

Pompey said: "My lord, if we are given a few more days, the food that the rebel army plundered along the way will be almost exhausted in these few days, and it will not be too late for us to attack the mountain by then."

In his opinion, acting like this is the safest way. The food consumption of tens of thousands of people is an astronomical figure. As long as the opponent's food is exhausted, it will be an insurgent army composed of a group of desperadoes. Knowing what will happen, maybe without them taking the initiative to attack, the opponent will start to mess up first.

Only then is the best time for one's own attack.

It would be great if there were still a few days left.

All the officers sitting around Claudius thought so. However, they also knew that they didn't have a few more days to wait, and in the end they could only remain silent with unwilling faces on their faces.

"Of course we can wait a few more days, but the Gladiator Empire doesn't have much time." Claudius shook his head, rejecting Pompey's proposal.

In a few more days, the insurgents in front of them will be self-defeating, and Claudius doesn't understand this truth. However, he really had no choice, otherwise he wouldn't be in such a hurry. As early as half a month ago, he received an order from the Senate to attack. In order to avoid excessive losses, Claudius silently withstood the pressure from above, which delayed him for so long.

Just two days ago, news came from the Old House that it took such a long time to suppress the uprising army, which has caused dissatisfaction among many people in the country. If he can no longer take down the insurgents led by Sparta, the Senate will almost hold him accountable for the disadvantages in the battle. In order to appease the dissatisfied people in the country, the proposal to dismiss himself has also been put on the agenda of the Senate.

Faced with such pressure, Claudius really couldn't stand it anymore. Compared with the black hat on his head, a small loss is nothing.

Without further hesitation, Claudius ordered decisively: "Sooner rather than later, the day of the general offensive is set today. The great gladiator empire only allows one great victory. Once the battle is defeated, what will happen? , I don’t think I need to say more, you should also understand.”

In the end, Claudius did not forget to threaten, so that all the officers under his hands felt enough pressure. No need for Claudius to say much, they also understand how important the battle in front of them is to the Gladiator Empire. Countless pairs of domestic bigwigs are staring at them. If they cannot win a victory for the Gladiator Empire, they may die in battle. It is your best choice.

"For the sake of the great gladiator empire, we shall triumph."

Thinking of the consequences of failure, all the officers swore that they would work hard to kill the enemy and serve the Gladiator Empire behind them.

"Very good, the determination is commendable." Seeing the assurance of the officer below, Claudius nodded with satisfaction and said, "The battle is imminent, go down and prepare."

Zhou Yixian, who wanted to help Sparta to delay the time, saw Claudius give the death order, so he couldn't say anything else. He had no choice but to follow a group of officers with a depressed face, and walked out of the military tent.

When it comes to marching and fighting, Zhou Yixian is really not very good at it. After thinking about it for a long time, he can't think of a solution that can solve the current predicament of Sparta.

"My lord." Just when everyone was about to reach the door of Claudius's military tent, Pompeii, who had been silent for a long time, struggled for a while, and stopped talking for a long time, and finally said without provocation: "Since it has been delayed After spending such a long time, we naturally don’t care about an extra night. Besides, the weather is getting late and the mountain roads are rugged, which is not conducive to large-scale marching. Why not wait for the army to rest for a night, refresh yourself and attack at dawn in the morning.”

Pompeii thought in his heart that if he could delay for a while, his side would have a better chance of winning, so he made such a proposal. Even if it is just one more night, it will definitely play a decisive role in the victory of one's own side.

"No need to say more, I have made up my mind." Of course Claudius understood Pompeii's true thoughts, so why didn't he want to continue dragging down with the rebels. However, thinking of the black hat on his head, he had no choice but to cruelly reject Pompey's tempting proposal.

"My lord, I also think that it is the best choice to let the army rest for one night, eat and drink enough before attacking." Zhou Yixian had an idea, thinking that if he could delay the night, at least he could let himself be notified in advance Sparta, be prepared. He just walked to the door, and immediately turned around again, and rarely agreed with Pompey's proposal, saying: "We have besieged the rebel army for a long time, why should we care about one night. What's more, what General Pompey said did not It's unreasonable. If our army has enough energy and attacks at dawn, it will be the time when the enemy's defense is the most lax. The enemy must not have expected that our army will choose to attack at this time, and maybe we can achieve miraculous results."

"You...should understand my difficulties."

Seeing that Zhou Yixian, who had always been at odds with Pompeii, agreed to the other party's proposal, Claudius couldn't help but feel a little uncertain, and his face showed embarrassment.

The two young men in front of him were the future of gladiators he was most optimistic about. When the two agreed, he had to carefully consider their proposals.

"My lord, it is a good strategy to wait another night."

Along the way, Zhou Yixian and Pompeii's powerful and brave fighting style almost convinced most of the officers, and a group of officers pleaded for their lives at the same time.

"In that case, let's rest for one night." Claudius looked helpless and agreed to Pompey's proposal.

At this time, he didn't want to cause any unpleasant things with his subordinates, so he reluctantly agreed.

Waiting for Claudius' affirmative reply, the officers stopped talking, and they all dispersed with a resignation.

At the same time, the soldiers under them all received orders from the army Liming very to launch an attack.

The battle was imminent, and the gladiator imperial barracks under Mount Vesuvius had nothing to say overnight.

Unlike the soldiers down there who ate, drank and fell asleep waiting for the decisive battle, the soldiers of the rebel army on the top of the mountain had no mood to sleep. There is no way, they are all starving, until now everyone is still looking for food to eat.

It's just that they have almost caught all the mice on the top of the mountain, so where can they find other food. The insurgents on the top of the mountain exhausted their energy after looking for a while, and suddenly felt a gurgling sound in their stomachs, and lost the strength to continue searching for food. I had no choice but to lie down on the spot, fell to the ground and looked at the stars above my head, howling in pain.

When the insurgents lay flat and looked up at the starry sky together, they found that there was a strange torque in the sky, and a blue light group appeared out of thin air above the starry sky. When everyone took a closer look, a blue door appeared in the sky. in front of my own eyes.

"Hey, look at the sky, a door has appeared." Some hungry rebels, dizzy and unable to sleep, immediately woke up after seeing this situation, unable to resist drowsiness, with a rumbling stomach, fell into a deep sleep go companion.

"Don't make trouble, there is no door at night, it's still in the sky. You must be hungry and faint, and have hallucinations. Go to sleep, and you will have to worry about food when you wake up tomorrow." The companions beside him woke up, but these people were not angry, but indifferently reminded the people beside them that it was time to sleep.

Because anger is also a waste of energy.

Also, this is not the first time that this has happened. Isn't it normal for people to be hungry, dizzy, and have hallucinations.

Forget it!

I can't get enough to eat, so I can't care about this, it's just a door, it's not a big cake.

sleep!

Not many people in the rebel army paid attention to the sudden appearance of a gate in the sky.
