"Don't be stupid. The enemy's main force must be on the way to hold on. If you stick to it, it will be a dead end. Now listen to my orders and hurry up on the boat and go to Utica." This was Ma Ge's suggestion. He quickly turned this idea into reality and quickly threw it away from the city and port. Some of his troops were unwilling to escape in the battle. So he took a cavalry guard and boarded the large ship with a deck left by Hitius, and hurriedly sailed towards the coast of Utica.

So the remaining Hitius Party and Mago's cavalry, led by the Italian knights named Fabius, digged guardian trenches around the city walls and ports, consolidated the towers, stored supplies and food, and prepared to hold on - but if Rabinus really brought the main force to attack the city, no one was sure whether Hippo Port could be safe and sound.

You know, Rabinus has a huge army of ten legions, and has easily captured key points such as Kilta City, Tara City, etc., and half of Numidia is in his hands. If he wants to attack Port Hippo, it will be a real challenge.

In fact, in front of the Linyuan, the royal palace of Kilta City, which was full of fire, Rabinus discussed the next strategic direction with Rilias and others on Jiangzuo.

Rabinus's plan was to rob Kilta and Tara, but to leave the city walls and warehouses, and then I led seven legions to the Tumur River, and attacked Vaga and Suato, which was the storage place for Celest supplies, and could resist Libidaus there; and General Lelias led three legions to march along the desert east of Tara, and cooperated with the Getulias and Mauritanians. On the flank, threatened Libida's subordinates - if Libida

Come to attack the Tumur River. I will occupy the mountains there. I will bravely restrain him and consume him, and you will detour to the rear. If he does not move, we will join forces to attack him from the front and back. If he advances, you will rush into Numidia and Afriga, cut off his food route, and he will defeat him without fighting; if he comes to attack you, you will lure the enemy deeper. Guide him to the barren land, and I will arrive in time, encircle Libida in the desert and annihilate all the enemies.

"But there is still a Hippodrome port that has not been seized, which will pose a threat to our retreat." Although the one-eyed Rilias was eager to take revenge, he still strongly opposed the coach's plan out of a cautious attitude. "The enemy can use the transport fleet to increase military strength and supplies to Hippodrome. On the other hand, if we give me three legions to seize this important port first, our rear team and materials will be continuously transported from Spain to here."

"But in that case, you and the three legions will not be able to participate in the attack on Libida in time. We are too late for Lelias. If we cannot occupy the Tumu River and the southern desert as soon as possible and launch favorable subordinates, Libida's military advantage will be highlighted. The key to this war is 'fast'."

The one-eyed general pondered for a while, and then said to Rabinus, "I believe you, since the gods have entrusted all the legions and the fate of the Pompeii party to you, let us recreate the glory of the battle of Zama in this area."

Rabinus was also very excited, "The person who was named Sepia never failed in Afilica."

However, he soon remembered the tragic death of the "great father-in-law" and swallowed the second half of his words.

So in the end everything was carried out under the planning of Rabinus. He led five thousand Spanish cavalry as the vanguard and galloped wilderness in Numidia. Lelias included all the infantry legions and divided them into three echelons: the first two followed Rabinus' pace, with the goal of the Tumur River, and the last echelon of the three legions, in accordance with the scheduled plan, conquered cities and advanced hard to advance.

Soon, Rabinus's troops approached the city of Suato, which was originally a place where the royal family had accumulated treasures, but now it is the place of the Executive Yuan of the Envoy, Celest, and most of the supplies were also here. When Celest got this military information, he was receiving the dusty Hetius and the former Queen of Numidia, Selene, in the city of Vaga. He also learned that most of the western cities had fallen and the port of Hippo were lonely behind the enemy. He was originally in a very bad mood, but now when he learned that the Rabinus cavalry had arrived like lightning, he couldn't help but be shocked.

"Don't worry about Suato, with our current military strength, it is difficult to compete with Rabinus. It is better to stick to the capital city of Waga and wait until the main force of the high priest arrives." Xitius suggested, "In addition, if the city of Waga is lost, we will have no solid strongholds and fortresses here until the Tumu River, and there will be no sufficient water source. You must know that on the west bank of the Tumu River, there are only streams around Waga, as well as grasslands and forests. The rest are all the way east, and they are desert areas. This city falls into the hands of Rabinus. In the future, the high priest will attack him and fight through the desert. It is really difficult."

But Celester hesitated. He had his ideas. Since he became an envoy, he had plundered the millions of Seth withdrew. He was originally greedy for security and was accused by the provincial Knights Chamber of Commerce after leaving office. He was scrambled to stay in Suato City with public funds. If he sat down, wouldn't the position he received before bribing Caesar with two million to withdraw from Seth?

"This..." Celester's eyes rolled and stood up and said, "I have been working hard to write a history book about the Juguda War. In the process of collecting information, I asked myself that I am quite familiar with the local geographical landscape. Moreover, there is a local legion and 600 alliance cavalry in the city of Waga. If you have your assistance, can we win a big and small victory under Suga? In this way, Suga and Waga, no, even the entire western bank of the river, be protected, wouldn't it be better?"

"But this is impossible!" Hitius shrugged and rejected, "Neither you nor I am the opponent of Rabinus, let alone his armed forces are much stronger."

"As long as we occupy the water source, we will not lose the war. In addition, if we hide in Varga, we will be scolded by the high priest in the future." Celester seemed determined, "You and I have the same status as the provincial envoy. You are the four-point monarch, so I will not force you, but I will fight firmly."

"That's good, I will take 1,500 cavalrymen to the central area between Waga and Suato, ready to pick you up at any time." Xitius is a shrewd man. He will not cause harm to the state of unity and cooperation before the war because of the differences in the plan. It will only bring more fatal consequences than the wrong plan.
