Chapter 1073 The old trick repeats itself
"Second General, we cannot fight against the Roman army head-on! The new batch of Roman army is not the waste from Sicily when we were invaded. They are well-equipped and fierce in combat. Besides, their troops now seem to be twice as powerful as ours."
The words of a confidant general next to Spartacus interrupted his thoughts. But he continued to look at Feng Yujun, and did not move, just opened his mouth and said, "What do you think we should do now?"
The general replied: "The subordinates believed that based on the current situation, we should now retreat to Palermo. As we walked along the way, the Roman army avoided fighting and transferred food and various materials in advance. We made us run for hundreds of miles in vain. It is obvious that they were prepared. Now they gathered tens of thousands of troops in front of us. I think... I think that the central and northern army led by the general have been unexpected. So we can only retreat to Palermo at the same time."
Spartacus sneered: "If the other two armies really encounter unexpected problems, we will never be able to retreat to Palermo. When we return to Palermo, will we have food? Can we withstand the attack of tens of thousands of Roman troops with the walls of Palermo?"
The general was speechless for a while, and then stuttered: "If this is true, what should we do?"
"That's true, we only have one way to go, that is, to break the whole into pieces. These troops of up to ten thousand people will definitely not be hidden on Sicily, but we divide them into more than a dozen shares, hundreds or thousands of people per share. They hide in the mountains and forests, mainly hunting and reclamation, and supplemented by plundering. When the time comes again, we will make a comeback. I believe that that moment will not be far away."
Another general beside him was thinking this way and hurriedly responded: "What the second general said makes sense, so what are we waiting for? Let's start working now. The troops are divided and they will transfer. It is unlikely that the Roman army on the opposite side will intercept us."
Spartacus glanced at him and said, "What are you doing? We don't know what happened to Hannibal. His troops may have been unexpected, but they may also be trapped or moved to other places. If he is trapped, he can only wait for our rescue. We will leave like this. Wouldn't it be too unrighteous? Let's just pretend to confront each other for a while, and then use this time to find out the whereabouts of Hannibal's army in order to decide what to do later."
At this time, he turned around and looked at the soldiers who were building a military camp behind him and said, "Transfer our military orders and sent fifty of the most elite scouts. In a group of two, they went to more than twenty places where Hannibal's army was most likely to be in exploration. Once they found out the situation, they would come back to report immediately."
The sky soon darkened again. The temporary camp of the Spartacus Army had already been built. The soldiers raised a bunch of bonfires and began to boil water and cook. Spartacus found that Feng Yu's army had also set up camps that connected the sky and the earth, and seemed to not want to launch an attack.
Spartacus breathed a sigh of relief. The thing he was most worried about did not happen, that was that Feng Yu directly launched the general offensive battle. In that case, he could only be forced to fight, and the ending was 99% of the defeat and scattered. If that were true, no matter what Hannibal is now, he would not be able to help Hannibal.
...
In Feng Yu's army camp, Mosolis came to Feng Yu and asked respectfully: "What's the order for General Feng Hu to call me?"
Feng Yu said in a gentle tone: "Mosolis, you made a great contribution to the Roman Empire last time. If you can make another contribution this time, I can not only guarantee that the empire will forgive all your crimes, but also reward and reuse you."
Mosolis quickly said, "I have anything to do, but please give me instructions. I will do my best to complete it."
Feng Yu took out the golden token that Mosolis had handed over, handed it back to Mosolis and said, "You need to take this thing and go to the camp opposite Spartacus. Then lure him into a cape in the northeast. We will block him there."
Mosolis took a breath and said intently that this was another risk of losing his head, but he still agreed to Feng Yu respectfully:
"General, how should I explain it, but what kind of argument should I use to trick them into the Pond?"
Feng Yu smiled faintly and said, "This is not easy. Just say that Hannibal was blocked by our army. You were ordered to lead troops out of the siege for help, but on the way, your followers were chased by our army's scouts, and in the end you were the only one who successfully found them."
After saying that, Feng Yu asked the soldiers to expand the map, told Mosolis the location of the cape, and asked him to pay attention to. After Mosolis figured it out, he squeaked again. Feng Yu's face darkened and said, "Mosolis, you are considered your own person now, just say whatever you have."
Mosolis said with a bitter face: "But after I followed them into the Point and were surrounded, they would inevitably think that I had joined your army, so how should I get out?"
Feng Yu smiled and pointed to the map and said, "This is about to tell you that we have two ships deployed on this coast, and they will pick you up." Mosolis then breathed a sigh of relief and said goodbye to Feng Yu.
Looking at Mosolis's back disappearing at the door, Dian Qing said uneasyly: "Lord, if he reveals the stuffing or betrays us, will this plan be impossible?"
Feng Yu said with a strange smile on his face: "It is impossible for him to betray us now, but it is possible for Spartacus to see through him. But it doesn't matter. This is a chain of plans. For every possibility of each link, I have set up a second move. I will send a command to first allocate 5,000 troops..."
In the Spartacus camp hundreds of battles outside Feng Yu's army camp, most of the soldiers had already fallen asleep except for the sentries. Spartacus didn't sleep well the night before and couldn't hold on now. He fell on the marching couch and fell asleep for a while. Unexpectedly, he closed his eyes and was awakened by the noisy sound. He sat up with a carp and asked, "What happened? The enemy attacked at night?"
The guard outside the tent said, "Report to the general. It was not an enemy attack at night, but the sentry seemed to capture a person at the door and was heading towards this side..." The guard suddenly stopped and then immediately said, "Yes... this man is General Mosolis!"
Before he finished speaking, Spartacus rushed out of the tent and saw that it was Mosolis, but he was now ragged by thorns and covered in blood and dirt on his face.
