Rome Must Fall Chapter 34: Need escort

"It is precisely because these newly joined slaves are familiar with military affairs that they should not be treated as ordinary soldiers." Maximus said confidently: "They can cook, which is needed in the kitchen of the baggage team; they can They will carry supplies and provide transportation needs for the baggage team; they will take care of the wounded, which is needed for the wounded camps that the baggage team is about to build; they will also maintain and repair weapons, which is urgently needed by our team..."

"They also know how to conduct military training and how to build camps... We need them even more to teach our new recruits who know nothing!" Cross reminded not to be outdone.

"It seems that these new brothers are very popular." Spartacus looked at the two men and said seriously: "Each brigade needs them to improve their combat effectiveness, and the baggage team also needs them to do a better job. To help us, I think we can transfer thirty people to the baggage team first, and then more people will join the baggage team, and then we can give more people to the baggage team. What do you think?"

No one else objected to this, but Maximus looked aggrieved: "More than 200 talents are allocated to 30 people in our baggage team, which is too few! ... Well, for the sake of our entire team, I accept it. ."

He paused, then continued with a serious face: "I have another suggestion. I hope that the baggage train team can have its own **** team!"

As soon as these words came out, Cross immediately jumped out to object: "This is absolutely not allowed! Your baggage team is not responsible for combat. Your safety is protected by us. There is no need to assign a **** team to you!"

"We thought the same way before. With your protection, we don't have to worry about our lives at all." Maximus looked regretful: "But because of this, when you were fighting at the foot of the mountain, our baggage team You tried your best to put out the fire in the camp, but in the end you were defeated. You threw away your weapons and armor and ran away desperately, thinking only of your own survival. Has anyone ever thought of blocking the pursuers for our baggage team?

While we were panicking, we were still thinking of driving the carriage to escape to the mountains so that you would not be hungry when you stick to the mountains in the future. As a result, time was delayed. Our baggage team was either old people or women and children. How could they outrun you? In the end, more than thirty people were overtaken by enemy soldiers and died in the thousand-man pit..."

Maximus sniffed and looked sad.

Cross didn't know how to refute for a while.

Maximus emphasized his tone and continued: "We finally drove the carriage up the mountain. Because the mountain road is narrow, we stopped halfway up the mountain. I would like to ask you to send troops to garrison to prevent it from being robbed by the enemy. What did you say? 'No, brothers have just escaped from the pursuers, how can they still have the energy to guard your carriage'..."

Maxilus sneered and said angrily: "Now that we have won the battle, everyone celebrates the victory, but don't forget that it was our baggage team who came up with a way to descend from the cliff when you were desperate. ! It was our baggage team who spent a long time working out a long rope that can allow you to go down the mountain smoothly! It was our baggage team who tried our best to make enough food so that you have enough strength to fight the enemy! For this war, I think it is natural for the baggage corps to have an **** team to defend itself!"

Cross' face was livid, Enomui and Altonix looked ashamed... The living room became silent for a while.

Spartacus looked around at everyone and said sincerely: "The baggage train is indeed very important to us. It also made great contributions in this battle against the Romans. We must lead our brothers to fight with all our strength. Sometimes it is indeed It's my fault that I don't have enough time to take care of the baggage corps! Now it seems that the baggage corps really needs to command a guard team to ensure its own safety. The number of personnel is temporarily set at 100. When the baggage corps expands in the future, we can add this number. What do you think of the number of people supporting the escort?"

"I agree!" Maximus immediately responded loudly. Although he was a little regretful that the number of the **** team was too small, after the baggage team had its own weapons, some things would be easier to operate.

After being robbed by Maximus, Cross, Enomui, and Altonix were too embarrassed to object, and the matter was settled.

"I hope that this hundred-man **** will be commanded by Pheasalus." Maximus looked at Spartacus and made further requests, because Physalus is now affiliated with Spartacus The first brigade led by Si.

Spartacus felt that Maximus made such a request because he had a good relationship with Phesalus, and only Phesalus responded to Maximus's request on the mountain yesterday. , to help him guard the carriage, so Fesalus was asked to be the leader of the escort, and he should obey his orders. Spartacus was happy to see this, so he agreed without hesitation.

When the meeting was over, Maximus caught up with Hamilcar and said softly: "Teacher, thank you for your help just now!"

Hamilcar turned to look at him and said with concern: "Now there are more escorts in the baggage train, and we have to take care of the wounded. There are more things than before, and there will be more people than before. Can you take care of it by yourself? And don’t let others take advantage of it if something goes wrong.”

Maximus understood who he was talking about and immediately expressed his position: "Teacher, don't worry, I will do my best to manage the baggage team well and provide better help to our team!"

Hamilka nodded: "Let's go, follow me now to select the thirty recruits."

More than 200 Roman legionnaire slaves have just joined the rebel army and have not yet been assigned to various brigades. They are temporarily under the jurisdiction of Hamilcar, who has just taken over the military affairs. Most of them are young men in their twenties and thirties, and only a few are in their forties. The middle-aged and elderly people over 10 years old are all in good health and have rosy complexions.

As public slaves of Rome, they were obviously treated well in the Roman army. But compared to other slaves who joined the rebel army, many of them seemed too cautious. When Hamilcar gathered them together, most of them had their heads lowered and looked listless.

Maximus saw this and said loudly: "I want to select thirty of you to join the baggage team. Those who join the baggage team do not have to go into battle to fight the Romans, and they can eat well and be able to Who of you is willing to spend time with women every day?"

When these slaves heard this, they became energetic and shouted: "Me!...Me!...I am willing to go!..."

Although a few people did not speak~IndoMTL.com~, they all raised their heads.

Maximus frowned and said: "The baggage team only has thirty people. There are too many people you want to join, so I have to choose carefully. Among you...who is the best carpenter? It would be nice to be able to make siege equipment."

"Me!...Me!..." More than twenty slaves shouted at the same time.

"So many people?!" Maximus looked surprised, pointed to his right hand side, and said, "Then everyone come over here."

After these slaves came forward, he stared at them fiercely and said: "I will test your carpentry skills in a while. If someone lies and I find out, he will be killed the next time he fights the Romans. At the forefront of the military formation!——"

Hamilcar hesitated to speak because he saw that many of the slaves who came forward looked uneasy.

Maximus took the opportunity and said: "Now, I will give you another chance to correct your mistakes. If you feel that your carpentry skills are not good enough, you can return to the team."

Immediately more than half of the people lowered their heads and rushed back to the team.

"Who among you knows best how to build a camp? It's best if you also know how to build roads." Maximus finished. Then he looked at the slaves standing on his right: "If you think you are good at this, you can also come forward. The more you know, the easier it will be for me to choose."

Based on the lessons learned last time, more than a dozen people spoke out this time, and some of those who stood up before also responded.

"Who among you knows better about maintaining and repairing weapons and armor? It is best to be able to use cannons skillfully. ...Who among you knows about military training and formation? You even have rich battlefield experience. ... Who among you has extensive experience in caring for wounded soldiers? It would be better if you know how to treat trauma..."
