Chapter 30 Capua's Gladiator School (Part 2)
So, although the commander of the legion, Li Bida, left the city, the great merchant of Cyranny, Amborodes, came back. He came to the Temple of the Goddess of Virtue, looked at Claudi who was being rescued with a pity, and then said to him softly, "You have been a civil servant in the city of Rome for too long. This kind of street hooligan trick is not good at all."
"That's because the other party has hundreds of fierce gladiators, and they definitely have premeditated it." Claudi said dissatisfied.
But after all, half of the reason why Claudi was defeated was for himself. Li Bida was determined to help him, so he told him the plan, "It is not difficult to tie the Capua school, but the key is that I need to know who is instructing Niera behind the scenes?"
"It's probably that bastard Terry Ali!" Claudi said with a certain tone.
Well, it was this guy who sent him into Pompei's camp as an undercover agent, but the bastard took his own money and became a civilian guard with the support of Pompei. This is one of the few examples of his failure in investment. It is reported that in today's street fights, Niera's side also used the Legion's sword and javelin, so the probability of Pompei's support behind the scenes is probably 70% or 80%. Since Crassus' death, the distance between the two monsters has become increasingly distant. Pompei not only retrieved the Legion, but also tried to control the street politics of Rome, because in his eyes, he always regarded Claudi as Caesar's agent: in theory, this bastard is enough
He has been pursuing a higher level of qualifications, but for several years he has remained silent in the position of the civil guardian. He clearly used this special and powerful identity to "keep the heat" of Caesar's power in the city. Therefore, Pompey supported Terry Ali, and used gladiators and veterans to enrich his thugs. Now the civil guardian and the Tebres Association are divided into two parties and fighting bloody battles with each other. Ostia River Harbor and Mount Evandini are Claudi's sphere of influence, and he won the support of gangsters and the people; but Terry Ali has recently risen rapidly in the areas of Mount Villa and Mount Paladin, and many nobles who hate the civilian party sent the manor gladiators to serve him.
In the duel between the two heroes, Claudi wins in quantity, while Triali wins in quality.
Then Claudi said that recently, another man named Ignagius, who abandoned the governor from the Syrian battlefield and returned to Rome, was impeached very badly and had no political future. So he simply took off his military uniform and threw it into Pompei's arms, becoming one of his powerful thugs, becoming Triali's auxiliary, "just as loyal as a reserve veteran followed the commander of the legion." This is a comment from a hooligan.
"Then you combine the number and the elite to have an advantage on the other side. This requires a little change, and the goal remains unchanged, so just set it in the Gladiator School in Capua." Li Bida looked around at the wounded in "shenyin" around and said with a smile to encourage everyone.
The soldiers who chose to participate in the triumphal ceremony all set up camp tents disciplinedly and camped at the gate of Principe, without crossing the sanctuary of the furrows. They also erected wooden fences and wooden doors around them, and brought a small camp to the public. They gave the Roman citizens a good impression. The soldiers never rushed to the streets to gamble and drink, nor summoned "Jinv" randomly. Even if they summoned the dealers and "Jinv", they still negotiated the price very kindly, without any quarrels or chaos. This was almost the best army that the Roman citizens had seen since the era of Sula's dictatorship, and their evaluations of Caesar and the commanders also rose. But the citizens did not know that a group of senior centurions had turned into casual clothes and secretly infiltrated the stronghold of the Claudi Party in the Temple of the Virtue.
About four days later, the Claudi Party's attack on Capua Gladiator School reopened. After learning the news, Niera laughed and asked three hundred people to wear various strange helmets and hold weapons with their hands. Half of their bodies were exposed, blocking the main alleyway leading to the school.
The school itself is like a fortress. It has been operated by Niera for many years. Its row of arcade doors are built very low. The Gladiator dormitories inside are all bungalows, like big turtles lying down. So Niera's plan is very simple. Just seal the alleyway and rely on the hand-to-hand skills of the Gladiators, and then place a two hundred people in the back to deal with these mobs.
But when the Claudi Party appeared again this time, their equipment was completely different. The gangsters actually put on the legion's curtains in the front rows, some of them had breastplates, all holding willow shields, shouting horns and moving forward with their paces. "Jinv" and musicians were responsible for playing the flute to adjust the formation. The people behind them held up sharp trunks, similar to spears, and slowly pressed down the alleyway.
Now the light pig gladiators with armored helmets were stunned. They were in a mess and showed off their weapons, such as sword chopping, flails, and harpoons. Then someone threw out the wire fishing net to the Claudi Party coming from the front. Many people exclaimed, because the last time the gladiators threw out this thing, tied up a group of people in the narrow alley. Everyone was blocked and killed and assassinated. As a result, someone in this crowd issued an order with a whistle. The two rows in front immediately stacked the willow shields in their hands. Several wire fishing nets stumbled on the willow shields, and they teared each other perfectly. Then the Claudi Party members shouted in unison, throwing all the shields on the ground, and then dozens of long wooden spear tips on the front were straightened in all directions.
After coming over, the gladiators were shocked, but before they could react to how to deal with the spear forest, the Claudi Party's "circumcision troops" rushed over. They used money to buy the tenants on both sides of the lane, and then climbed onto the rooftops densely. Some opened the narrow panel windows, poured lime, rice and oil into the clay pots, and then drilled holes in the lid in advance, rubbed them into the fire with long flax, and then smashed them down on the head and face. The three hundred gladiators teams were almost destroyed in an instant. The thick smoke and flames brought extremely terrifying stimulating gas, which made them fall to the ground, covered their faces and screamed, while others were covered in blood and rolled on fire. Even many unprotected people on the Claudi Party fled in the opposite direction.
