Chapter 52: The flawed plan

"Hahaha!" After knowing Kabar's situation, the gladiators burst into laughter with kindness.

"Arris, do you have a plan?" Chis Onis asked with a smile.

"What other plans do we need? Tomorrow we will secretly go over, kill the guards, and release the prisoners of war on the ship!" Ragsius said carelessly.

"No, it still needs to be planned!" Xu Mo said with a deep look.

According to information provided by Kabar, the three merchant ships belonged to a slave owner who specialized in slave trading in Rome. He followed the Roman Navy, exchanged the material and dinar on the ship for civilians and prisoners of war captured along the way by the Roman army, and transported them back to Rome to sell them as slaves.

The reason why Xu Mo said that he needed to plan was because the focus of their battle was not on rescuing slaves, but on the three Roman warships. Rescuing slaves was very simple. There were only more than a dozen people guarding the slave ship every night, but the actions of their large number of people could not not alarm the Romans. Gladiators were not special forces equipped with good equipment in later generations, possessing night vision instruments, mufflers and guns.

Once the Romans were alarmed, they had only two choices, whether to fight to the end, or retreat immediately. There were more than 600 Romans on the three warships, and the merchant ship guards, which were estimated to be 700 to 800. There are currently more than 80 gladiators, and the other ten NV family members cannot be calculated as combat power.

Even if the prisoners of war on the slave ship were added, they were only 400, and they lacked weapons. The newly rescued prisoners were not very physically strong, and they would definitely be wiped out in the end when they fought to the death.

If you want to escape, if there is a Roman legion on land, even if you can escape for a while, you will be found by the Roman legion that was searching for the Internet. Moreover, the supply and supplement of 400 people is not so easy to provide. Even if they plunder the slave manor, it would be like drinking poison to quench thirst, but the momentum is stronger and they die a little more vigorously.

If they want to escape to the sea, it is not easy to achieve. On the Brutien Peninsula, they collected a large area to collect fishing boats that can be used for more than 100 people to cross the sea. Four hundred people are not just changing in quantity, but are essentially different. They need the large sea boats in the harbor. (/. Update the latest chapter of this book

After careful analysis, Xu Mo and others only had one road in Huashan, which was to snatch merchant ships to rescue prisoners of war, and then gather people to destroy the other three ships to prevent the Romans from catching up. The only good news is that the slaves of the three ships were all prisoners of war, with a certain will to obey and fight. Among them, nearly 200 Carthaginians were naval soldiers and knew how to control ships.

Whether Xu Mo and others were robbing merchant ships or warships, the difference was actually not big. The key was that they had to destroy other ships. If four hundred people robbed two ships, they had to destroy at least three ships. If three ships were robbed, they would need to destroy at least two ships. In this way, the Romans, who had only one warship, would not dare to catch up.

In the end, Xu Mo decided to rob the three merchant ships. One was that the slaves were all on the ship, so they could prepare for sailing as soon as possible, and the other was that the merchant ship had more material, which could provide 400 people with consumption at sea.

"Boss, what's wrong? Judging from your appearance, I don't seem to be very confident!" After seeing that the plan was completed, Xu Mo still frowned, and Dinah walked to him and asked softly.

"Yes, I really don't have confidence! This plan is too complicated!" Xu Mo said with a wry smile.

"There is no problem in rescuing prisoners of war in front, but destroying other ships requires a lot of prisoners of war. Some of them want to circulate the ships, while others want to destroy other ships. Those who stay on the ship must wait for the return of the companions who destroyed the ships. Once an unexpected situation occurs, such as the Romans appear in advance, what will happen?"

"Will the people on the boat escape at the last minute? Will the people who destroy the boat give up burning the boat and return immediately?" Dinah was shocked, "If that's the case, the whole harbor will be a mess! Boss, this plan is easy to go wrong!"

"I know!" Xu Mo lowered his head, and a trace of helplessness flashed in his eyes. "Although the prisoners of war are also soldiers, they are not an army after all, and what they accept is the orders of us strangers. If there are officers among the prisoners of war who disagree with us, it is easier to have problems!"

Dinah suddenly calmed down and looked at Xu Mo with bright eyes, "Boss, you have other plans for backup!"

"No, indeed!" Xu Mo raised his head, a hint of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes, "It's just that I hope there is no need for this plan! Go and call the Spartan group here!"

"Arris, do you really want to... do this?" Omes asked in a deep voice.

"Why, do you disagree? Do you know why I gave this mission to the Spartan team!" A cold light flashed in Xu Mo's eyes.

"I... know, only we can complete this kind of task!" Omes said bitterly.

"Omes, Alres is not wrong. I felt that there was something wrong with this plan before, but I didn't think it would be so serious!" Chis Onis said helplessly, "Then let it be. If there is an accident on the battlefield at that time, then we will have to let our Spartan regiment block all the mistakes!"

...

Under the moonlit night, more than 80 gladiators took off their heavy armor and went to the dock in batches. The metal plate armor had ended their mission, one was to avoid the sound of metal collisions alarming the Romans, and the other fought on a narrow ship, which required flexibility rather than protection.

Behind them, more than a dozen NV family members carrying large and small bags were followed. After grabbing the ship in this battle, they immediately went to sea, so they had to follow them. Once they grabbed the ship, they would get on the ship immediately. The NV family members' packages were only valuable metals robbed by Claudia and the Gladiator Rebel Army, and other supplies, and they could only obtain them on the ship.

"Haha!" Seeing Ragsius in front of him, Kabar lowered his voice and chuckled excitedly.

"Smile, if it weren't for you, I'd have returned to Sères!" Although that was the case, Ragsius's face was full of smiles.

"Hey, you two stupid pigs don't talk nonsense. Hurry up and go to the two Carthage prisoners of war ships and act according to the plan!" Chis Onis poked the two people in front with the hilt of the sword, and cursed in the back.

"Woo!" In the dark night, the guard on a merchant ship made a short muffled cry, and his eyes were dissipated and he collapsed. Xu Mo, who used the wind demon chain hook to climb the merchant ship, smeared the dagger on the guard's clothes, and quietly mourned the other guard who was dozing off...

To Xu Mo's surprise, Selna, Max and others on the other two merchant ships also heard all the news of safety. They made a good start, and Xu Mo secretly breathed a sigh of relief. In just a quarter of an hour, he felt that time had passed so long.

Xu Mo turned his head toward the gladiator behind him, and the gladiators entered the cabin one after another, carefully heading towards the cabin where prisoners of war were imprisoned...

"Who among you is an officer!" Xu Mo said in the Spartan Dorian language.

"I am, sir!" A tall and strong Spartan warrior stood up from among the prisoners of war.

"Bring half of the people with him!" Xu Mo pointed to Omes beside him and said.

Looking at the orderly movements of the prisoners of war, Xu Mo nodded in admiration. It has to be said that the Spartans were indeed the best warriors of that era. Even if they became prisoners of war, they had good obedience and discipline as soon as they were rescued, and restored their true colors.

After the Spartan warriors walked out of the cabin where they were imprisoned one after another, the few people standing at the end of the cabin also appeared in front of Xu Mo. These people made his pupils shrink and his body tense involuntarily. The hands hidden in his sleeves beside him grabbed the Gypsy crystal ball tightly.

But immediately Xu Mo relaxed again, with a confident smile on his face, and he looked at the six people lightly. Now he knew why the mission of the slave ship would be a competitive mission.

"Long time no see, old k!" A young man with a pretty face among the six people said with a wry smile, and the crescent-shaped pendant on his earlobe swayed.
