"I like people betrayal in the enemy camp, but I hate those who betray.~" - Julius Caesar

"Flame!" Hitius personally stationed his horse in front of the scattered light infantry, swung his sword and shouted instructions. All the scattered soldiers of the Hitius rushed out in groups of three or three from the smoke and dust that had been stirred up in advance, and threw dense flying stones and crossbow arrows at the oncoming enemy cavalry. The opponents were overturned, and the attacking front line began to become chaotic and disorderly. Then, without waiting for a breath, the rest of the Hitius cavalry rushed out bravely with short spears and swords. After a counterattack, the enemy cavalry could only retreat a distance of Furlong like a tide due to the lack of light infantry cover and cooperation.

"Closed." Under this command, the Hitius Party quickly reorganized its formation, leaning against the hills, tightly and neatly.

After two consecutive raids were defeated, the Rabinus cavalry who came from the south did not dare to find any bad luck to Hitius. They quickly divided into two front and rear teams. The front team was responsible for monitoring the cavalry of the Hitius Party. The back team turned and rushed over to intercept the envoy Selest who was about to approach.

At this moment, there was only a flag-holder, several entourages and dozens of cavalry armed forces left. The enemy cavalry behind them were still chasing them. In horror, Celest hurriedly abandoned the flag where he was, and then cut off the cloak he was brushing. However, his current situation was "locked" - at this moment, a large number of intercepting riders appeared in front of him. In an instant, Celest thought of the topic of "I'm going to die", and it was the third moment of the afternoon. The small camp built behind him had already shot into the sky. Most of his cavalry fled and ran away. The infantry that had not had time to run also disappeared in the smoke and dust. It seemed that most of them were killed and slaughtered by the enemy cavalry. When the defenders in Suato saw this tragic scene, they completely lost the courage to come out to respond.

Everything was over, and Celest now felt regretful: since he knew that Rabinus's cavalry had been greatly enhanced, why did he still have to take the lead in thinking that he had sent only a small number of former cavalry to Suato? It seems that Rabinus had already arranged a plan to encircle and annihilate him. Therefore, the cavalry under Suato was just a bait to deceive him, and his main cavalry was unconsciously ambushed on the north and south sides of the city, completely slaughtering his infantry and looting his camp - no, he still has to take his life now.

All of this is a temporary greed, eight million Sess' private money, and when he thought of this, Serester couldn't help but feel upset. Why is it here? Why is it in Numidia? Whether it is Rabinus or Li Bida, it is all so hateful. I spent two million Sess' bribes to bribe here. I hope to secure two years of responsibilities here, make enough money and return to Rome, and then raise the official rank a little higher through bribery and campaign methods, become a ** official, and then start working towards the consul, "But this damn war, damn it! Let the weak have no chance to survive."

The darts and arrows kept pouring into his surroundings like rain, and the serf was injured intermittently, moaning and falling down. The smoke and neighing sounds blocked his vision and hearing. Celest could only instinctively follow the direction he had found in advance and run towards the position of Hetius.

However, Hitius had also decided to retreat, "It's sunset soon, and the barbarians in the desert are best at using infantry and cavalry to fight at night. If nothing unexpected happens, they will strengthen their offensives even more violently after nightfall."

"But the envoy is still in front of us and is surrounded by the enemy cavalry. Should we send a cavalry wing to rescue him as much as possible?" The token officer beside Hitius asked uneasily.

"Save him is to die by himself. The surveillance cavalry left by the enemy is eyeing us. If there is no caution at all now, the next one to suffer a catastrophe will be the Hitius Party." The Quad Leader of Kilta sighed and then waved his hand, indicating that the envoy was bound to sacrifice. "Our army is still responsible for defending the city of Vaga and maintaining the entire battle situation for the high priest. The entire army retreated immediately along the mountains!"

With this order, the sound of horns came one after another. The Hitius Party left one third of the cavalry in the rear guard position. Then they divided into small groups of thirty or fifty cavalry, separated. The remaining cavalry formed a column and quickly moved towards the city of Vaga. After ten Stadia distances, the guard cavalry rushed over and became vanguards, and then alternately covered them. When the mountains had gone and there was a flat horse in front of them, Hitius shouted loudly. All the cavalry endured the thirst and fatigue, and ran towards the town without looking back.

But the envoy Celest and his entire legion were buried in the desert. The envoy's body was identified at a place that was only a thousand feet away from the previous formation of the Hetius Party. He had no flags, armor and cloaks, and all the things that symbolized their identity were discarded. Even the exquisitely carved breastplate was thrown away by him. He tried so much to escape. His body was covered with underwear and sweatshirt, and he lay slightly on the ground, covered with sand, his eyebrows and hair were blurred. Several Mauritanian cavalry surrounded his body, and no one else was allowed to approach him, preparing to receive a high bounty.

Suato also opened the city to surrender in despair. Rabinus entered the city with the guard the next morning. He brought the soldiers to 50 elders, most of whom were Italian immigrants. Then he adopted the "ten draws" criminal law, executed five of them, hung their heads on the city wall, and then opened the city's vault, which contained four million public funds, Seth retreated, and the private treasure of the envoy. Rabinus concentrated all of them and distributed them to the soldiers who made meritorious service. Then his subordinates sent Seth's body to himself. Rabinus

He looked, "He is a failed general, a successful historian. His tragedy lies in the misalignment of his character and his greed for money." Then, Rabinus groped out his body, but did not find a coin, so he shook his head, took out a dinar from his purse, and placed it on the mouth of the historian who fell, "Send his body to Vaga City, exchange it for his wife Renshat, and then attacked the morale of the defenders. All the other infantry and cavalry soldiers followed me to go there. I want to take Vaga before the main force of Li Bida came!"

Under the scorching sun, Rabinus mobilized four legions to surround the city of Vaga, and then about 2,000 corpses were thrown under the city with blood and nakedness, row by row, like dead fish rushing up from the beach.
