Ancient Rome: Beginning With The Legionnaire

Babius can be said to be the most outstanding general in Rome before Julius Caesar.

However, he was not a nobleman of the Senate, let alone joined the Roman Legion.

And he formed the Samnite Legion

A total of 8 legions.

With the 8 legions in his hands, Marius and Sulla were miserable.

On the eve of the battle, Sulla almost died at the hands of Babius.

Now Pompidius in the north has successfully captured the city of Osculen, an important town in the north.

Because there are no Roman regular army assistants there.

Moreover, the chief executive of Osculen City is a wine bag and rice bag.

The city of Osculen was taken with little effort.

But Babius - not so easy.

It turns out that in southern Italy, due to its deep penetration into the Mediterranean Sea, pirates are rampant here, and two powerful naval battle regiments are stationed all year round.

7th Legion of Ancient Rome 11th Legion of Ancient Rome.

And the head of the Seventh Legion, Gaius Dulat, is a famous naval commander.

Due to fighting pirates all the year round, his network of contacts spreads all over the Mediterranean.

Someone had secretly reported in advance that Dali Company was going to rebel, and now the Seventh Army, Gaius Dulat and the First Army Commander Plath Geert.

The two led two entire legions and blocked Babius' door.

Although Babius now has 8 legions.

But scattered throughout southern Italy, now he has only one elite legion and three newly recruited recruits.

These corps of recruits are local farmers and unemployed craftsmen.

It is difficult for them to form combat effectiveness less than a month after joining the army.

In other words, Babius only has one legion in his hands.

Now that the two major legions were pressing up, Babius had to bite the bullet and command his legion to go up.

As for the three newly recruited legions, they can only hold the line in the rear.

"The number of enemies looks like a lot!"

Plath was staring at each other twice as many as they were.

Everyone wore Roman chain mail.

Only in the face of the Legion of the Gallic barbarians, was equipped with Roman plate armor.

Therefore, the Seventh Army and the Eleventh Army are light armies.

Because it has to fight against pirates in the Mediterranean all the year round.

A heavy Roman plate armor is also not suitable.

So most of them are wearing light chain mail.

But don't think that they are limited in combat effectiveness because they are lightly armed.

Fighting against pirates all the year round, their fighting power is extremely strong and extremely fierce.

"There are 4 legions under Babius on the opposite side"

Gaius Dulat said casually, this is his personal habit, which gives people a casual feeling, but he has actually noticed you.

"What answer does the Senate have to this matter?"

Plath asked again.

After all, leaving the station privately and attacking other Italian tribes requires the authorization of the Senate.

Gaius just got the information and came here with two legions.

Sure enough, it was found that there were people training the secular people here, and the number was extremely large, exceeding 10,000 people, and there were three entire legions to be established.

At the beginning, he didn't take these 30,000 people seriously.

After all, these 30,000 people are just recruits!

But when Babius pulled up his elite army, the two army leaders were much heavier.

At first glance, the opponent is an elite teacher after long-term training.

"This matter is very serious, we can't wait for the Senate's reply! We must take the initiative to kill them!"

...asking for flowers...

Gaius stood up and said to a Roman soldier beside him.

"Notify the opposing commander, I want to talk to him"

In front of the two armies.

Gaius, Plath, Babius and a lieutenant.

4 people stood between the two armies.

"Babius the Samnite, without the order of the nursing home, you actually pulled up so many legions? Do you want to rebel?"

Plath directly pressed a big hat down.

"Of course it's a rebellion!"

Babius said bluntly.

Now that the arrow is on the string, it has to be launched.

And Babius can be sure that as long as the two are defeated, there will be no more wars in southern Italy.

At that time, he can move his army northward until the city of Rome.

Crucified the Roman patriarchs who ate vegetarian food.

"Why do you want to do this?"

Compared with Plath, Gaius Dulat is much calmer.

The other party pulled so many people, it was obvious that they were going to rebel.

"Do you still have to ask?"

"We Italians have been ruled by you Romans for almost 200 years! But until now we have not obtained Roman citizenship!"

Babius said indignantly.

"It's fine without Roman citizenship. The Senate has recently introduced several bills. We Italians can't live anymore!"

Babius pointed at the legion behind him with the whip in his hand.

"Do you know why these people join my legion? They are all farmers, or handicraftsmen! Because you moths, they have no property now, and they are still in debt, so they have to join the legion."

"For a fair Roman citizenship".
