Summary of famous works: Spartacus

[synopsis of story]

On the morning of 78 BC 1 1 month 10, the residents of Rome flocked to the fighting field. There will be a grand gladiatorial performance here. Sura, a retired Roman consul and a great slave owner, paid for Roman citizens to meet for three days in order to forget their sexually transmitted diseases in joy.

The Colosseum stands in the Mercia Valley between Paladin Mountain and Dingshan Mountain in alvin toffler, which is a huge and amazing building. It is 2 180 Roman feet long and 998 Roman feet wide, and the venue can accommodate more than120,000 spectators. Thirty Thracians and thirty Shamni will perform here today. One of the gladiators was Spartacus. He is in his thirties. He is big and muscular. His long blond hair and thick beard set off his handsome, powerful and well-featured face. A pair of bright light blue eyes are full of life experiences, emotions and flames. When he is quiet, those eyes make his face look sad and kind. But when it comes to fighting, his eyes are like lightning, and the whole person is as fierce and majestic as a lion. He was a Thracian from northern Greece. He was captured in the war with the Romans who invaded the motherland and later sold to the owner of the arena as a gladiator. He is mighty and powerful. In Gladiator, he defeated all his opponents and won the final victory. The audience cheered Spartacus and demanded the release of slaves. Valeria, a beautiful lady, has a crush on Spartacus. She suggested that Sura release him from slavery. Sura agreed, and Valeria also agreed to Sura's proposal.

Roman gladiators could not stand the oppression of slave owners and often went to Venus Hotel to plot parties. Spartacus, who had just been freed, became their leader. On one occasion, Spartacus saved a man who was beaten to death by a brothel owner. It turns out that she is actually Spartacus' sister Mi Erzha, whom I haven't seen for many years. Spartacus gave Mi Erzha to Valeria as a maid through the introduction of the owner of the fighting field.

Katerina, a Roman aristocrat, is an ambitious figure. In his luxurious living room, there are often a group of nobles who are dissatisfied with the status quo. They want to contact Spartacus and gladiators to attack the Senate. But Spartacus refused. He believes that gladiators are a group of slaves deprived of their freedom, while Katrina is just a group of excluded nobles. Gladiators want to fight for freedom and regain their lost motherland and hometown, while nobles want to "replace the current rulers themselves." You can't have both.

Spartacus won the favor of Madame Valeria and let him run a gladiator school in Villa Kumar in Sura. He accepted. This woman with fair face, dark hair and big eyes left a deep impression on Spartacus. He thinks she is as elegant as the goddess of wisdom, as noble as Juno and as charming as Venus.

Soon, Sura died of illness. Valeria asked Spartacus to live with her and devote her whole body and mind. But he answered her that he had a higher goal, and he would devote his life to the cause of slave liberation.

On the festival of worshipping the god of agriculture and animal husbandry in Rome, gladiators led by Spartacus planned an uprising in the forest. This was overheard by actor Mi Tobies. He thought he saved Rome and denounced Caesar, the noble. Caesar was a brilliant general at that time. He is tall and strong. His curly hair is as shiny as ebony, which sets off his tall and broad forehead; His eyes are expressive, sharp and dignified. His clothes show unparalleled elegance. He was 26 years old then. Because of his education, eloquence, hospitality, courage and abundant energy, he already has a high prestige in Rome. Out of his own ambition, he did not report the player's informer, but came to Spartacus himself. He thinks Spartacus organized twenty thousand gladiators. If this team is under his command, "in a few years, he will conquer the world and become the ruler of Rome." He offered to cooperate with Spartacus and recruited him to join his expedition. Spartacus refused. He said he couldn't abandon his enslaved brother. "I want to fight for freedom. I want to fight for freedom for everyone, every nation, big or small, strong or weak. "

The main force of the slave uprising was concentrated in the gladiator school in Gapuya City, where there were 10,000 gladiators. Spartacus found the news leaked, so he jumped on his horse with his companion Enoma and ran to Gapuya, hoping to launch an uprising in advance, but his horse had problems on the way, and the messenger sent by the Roman consul arrived in Gapuya first, and the whole city was under martial law.

The Gladiator School was surrounded by Roman government troops. Spartacus led the gladiators to seize the arsenal without success. He had to lead a group of gladiators out of the enemy's encirclement and retreat to Mount Vesuvius. Along the way, Spartacus launched a slave riot in the noble manor, enriching his own team. When we reached Mount Vesuvius, there were already more than 600 insurgent troops.

Rome * * * sent a crusade team of one thousand people. Uprising slaves suppressed them. Subsequently, 3,000 Roman loyalists, led by Cletius, carried out a second encirclement and suppression campaign. Loyalists built a camp and surrounded Mount Vesuvius. Seeing the food shortage on the mountain, Spartacus ordered the gladiator to cut down wicker to make a ladder, skillfully lowered the soldiers from the cliff, raided the enemy's rear camp, knocked the enemy to the ground and fled in panic.

The uprising troops left Mount Vesuvius and attacked the city of Naura. But after breaking into the city, there was a robbery. Spartacus immediately assembled his troops, severely condemned this behavior, and carried out military discipline rectification. He believes that strict military discipline is a reliable guarantee for the army to defeat the enemy. Soon, klick Sass, a slave who escaped from Rome, led two thousand slaves to meet him. So far, the number of insurgents has increased from the initial 600 to 1 10,000.

The Third Crusade of Roman Loyalists was led by General Publi Uss. Spartacus fought a war of annihilation in Qi Lin, wiped out Julius, the lieutenant of Pubris, and solved Pubris' own team in Coty Canyon. The rebels attacked and surrounded the city of Gapuya, forcing the prefect and Senate in the city to release 5000 gladiators from the gladiator school, thus greatly expanding the uprising troops. Then, Spartacus defeated Poupry's newly recruited soldiers in Aquinas for the second time.

* * * When Ebie saw Spartacus' successive victories, she came to him with all her belongings. This is a slim, strong and beautiful Greek woman. That charming face is as white as alabaster and radiant. Elegant forehead and extremely soft hair covered with lux. Two big eyes, blue as the waves and apricot, are burning with irresistible charm. She asked to be the herald of Spartacus, and Spartacus agreed.

After the victory of Aquinas, Spartacus led 300 cavalry to meet his lover Valeria at Kumar Villa. There, he had a talk with the old housekeeper and expressed his determination to fight for the cause of slave liberation. Valeria once again asked him to stay and not to take any risks. He replied, "I love you, but I can't betray my unfortunate comrade-in-arms." The next day, he returned to the army. At this time, the number of uprising troops has increased to 50 thousand. Spartacus organized them into ten legions, and he was elected Grand Marshal.

The fourth crusade in Rome was led by aristocrat Olestus. He organized a team of thirty thousand people. Spartacus defeated him near the city of Fendi. This greatly alarmed the Roman Senate. The Romans had to blush and admit that Spartacus was "a resolute, brave and quite experienced commander." Consul Lugule personally negotiated with Spartacus. He bought him off on the condition of fame and fortune, and allowed him to formally marry his beloved woman Valeria. But Spartacus was not tempted. He suggested that Rome must exchange a large number of weapons for prisoners, otherwise he would order the hanging of captured loyalists.

* * * Ebie loves Spartacus, but she is loyal to her lover Valeria and refuses Ebie's love. So, this "beautiful snake" became angry from embarrassment and left Spartacus to be the herald of Enomai, in an attempt to sow discord among the uprising troops and take revenge on Spartacus.

Spartacus tried to turn slave riots into all-out civil wars. He sent someone to contact the noble Katrina, but she refused. So Spartacus drew up a plan to March into the Alps. Spartacus intends to disperse the slaves to their respective hometowns. He believes that the Roman Empire is still very strong, the uprising troops are fighting in Italy, and the Romans are "Aetna" (traitors). If we want to defeat Rome completely, we can only launch all the oppressed national uprisings at the same time. His plan was opposed by another leader of the rebel army, Inomaa, who, at the instigation of Aifujibida, evacuated 10,000 rebels from the camp. As a result, this divided team was quickly wiped out by the Roman army.

Spartacus defeated the armies of two consuls, Helius and Lundrus. In the battle of Medina, the army of Governor Gaul was defeated again. The gladiators were carried away by successive victories. The Seventh Army, headed by Konix, insisted on marching into Rome and supported Spartacus to March into the Alps. But he didn't want to abandon his comrades-in-arms and accommodated the opinions of most people.

There was a noise in the Roman Senate. Due to military defeat, the nobles dared not act as commanders to fight Spartacus. Finally, crassus, an ambitious speculator, became the commander. He mobilized a lot of manpower and material resources to fight against the uprising troops. At first, he suffered one defeat after another, and then the traitor Ebeida, who was hidden in the uprising troops, leaked Spartacus' battle plan to him. As a result, Spartacus suffered heavy losses in Calgon Mountain, losing 30,000 troops and his close comrade Crick Sass.

In order to avenge crassus, Spartacus defeated Roman soldiers by surprise attack in Ruby City and captured 400 nobles. At the funeral of klick Sass, he ordered the captured nobles to kill each other. When the nobles expressed their fears, Spartacus sarcastically said, "Hey, noble young people, you come from the most famous Roman family. Your ancestors conquered other nations, burned down cities, robbed everything, and made them famous all over the world with their famous plunder, aristocratic rebellion, large-scale robbery, surprise attack and deception, glorious and despicable means and lofty * * * behavior. ..... Now let you prove your famous brave spirit to us and entertain those who have entertained you for many years, even if only once; Fight each other, kill each other and die like Romans. " The nobles were forced to act, and the slaves laughed happily and clapped thunderously.

Then Spartacus lost the battle between Grumente and crassus. He gave up his plan to March on the Roman army and turned his troops to the south to prepare for Sicily. At the same time, he negotiated with pirates and asked for ships to cross the sea. But the pirates deceived him and didn't bring the boat. Spartacus mobilized his soldiers to build his own ship. When the ferry was being built, it was caught in a storm. The storm blew the soldiers on board back to the cliff and some ships were swallowed up by the waves. At this time, in order to cut off Spartacus' road to the north, crassus built a long base across the entire peninsula in Ruding Peninsula and dug a trench. Facing the threat of food shortage, Spartacus ordered soldiers to cut down trees and fill trenches, breaking through crassus's painstaking defense. Crassus was so scared that he was not sure of winning. He wrote to contact Pompeii's troops who came back from the Spanish battlefield and Lugulu's troops who came back from the Battle of Mitridatis, asking them to surround Spartacus with them.

Among the uprising troops, the legion headed by Cornix and Kaslins split again and was annihilated by the enemy. As a result, the uprising troops were greatly weakened. Spartacus has only fifty thousand soldiers left. He had to go in circles, consuming crassus's strength. Just then, he received a letter from Valeria, telling him that Pompeii and Lugulis' army had begun to surround him and asked him to negotiate with crassus to end the war. So Spartacus negotiated privately with crassus, but the negotiations broke down due to the harsh conditions put forward by the other side.

Before Pompeii and others arrived, Spartacus thought that crassus's army had been defeated. He arranged the rebels on the bank of Bula Dakhnas, and launched a decisive battle with crassus. He appealed to the soldiers to "win or die". However, in this fierce battle, crassus's 90,000 troops defeated the 50,000 uprising troops. Spartacus fought the soldiers to the last drop of blood.

In the gloom, Spartacus was surrounded by seven or eight hundred enemies. He pounced on the enemy like a lion. "His eyes sparkled with anger and his voice thundered." His dagger "kills every blow". Finally, he was hit in the back by seven or eight missiles and fell bravely. So "this extraordinary man ended his life like this. He has all kinds of lofty qualities: outstanding talent, incomparable courage, incomparable perseverance and profound wisdom. All these qualities make him one of the most famous military commanders in history, and his deeds will be passed down from generation to generation forever. "

The slave uprising failed. All the 6,000 uprising soldiers captured by Rome were crucified.
