Chapter 9 Confrontation (Part 2)
At dawn the next day, the flags and soldiers of the subsequent three legions, namely the Seventh Legion, the 12th Legion and the Thirteenth Legion, also arrived at the old camp of Takarius.∈♀♀The people and horses who walked off the deck of the ship had not yet recovered from their exhaustion, and they got the news: Before a daytime, the high priest had already taken the four legions of the vanguard toward Waga City.
"Full do your best to keep up with the whereabouts of the high priest, and don't give up the merits to others, especially the new rookies who have just formed in Cyrene!" The Seventh Legion was the first to rush out from the main entrance of the old camp. Then the other two legions also piled their luggage into high piles with the center of the camp, and took off their heavy armor, because it was deadly enough in the wilderness and heat of Afilga. They only carried shields and fighting swords, and rushed out of the camp in the form of light infantry.
At this moment, the new infantry legion led by Li Bida himself, their shields and flags were embroidered with the arrow tower sign used by "Rex Lius". They held the copper tubes and spears like forests, and the trumpets of the advancement were one after another. A place on the side of them was a furon. The new cavalry legion led by Parumma and Dussenvier, holding the forest-like portrait flag of King Numa, was galloping past a dry riverbed. The dust raised from the horse's hooves was enough to cover the sky around Utica.
"Hansk, with one wing of cavalry, run quickly, do not stop at all, survey the water sources, roads and barren land ahead, I want to contact Vaga as soon as possible, I don't know how long Hitius can last."
The Germanic cavalry captain who received the order, led one hundred and twenty light-armed cavalrymen and quickly left the army like arrows off the strings and headed towards the city of Waga.
At this time, the city of Vaga was at a critical moment of life and death. Rabinus gave up the plan of taking turns to attack the city, because it would give Hitius a chance to deal with it due to poor cooperation. He left only three brigades in the southeast, north and north of the city, and a small number of cavalry defended the besieged wooden fences and trenches, and then mixed up with a complete army under his control with a complete command of the army. He gathered 15,000 assault power and used it in the battle to attack the west of Vaga City.
"The slope has been built. After the signal is sent, all people will be arranged into three tortoise shell arrays. Don't use any equipment. Use people to pile up Vaga City for me. No matter how much blood and sacrifice it is, they will drown the Hetius clumps in the sea of blood." This is Rabinus's original words - in the current situation, Vaga City has already moved its whole body. If Vaga City cannot be taken down, he must throw it away when Libida's main force arrives at the Tumu River.
Abandon this city and join forces with the three legions that built fortifications in the mountains by the river. Focus on Li Bida; but if the city of Vaga was captured, his four legions could fully back the city's water and city defense, and form a double-winged front with the three legions. If Li Bida dared to cross the Tumur River, he would inevitably be trapped in two sides. If the other legions of the three legions of Rilias came from Zama, the victory would be decided.
In the scorching sun, Rabinus's 15,000 soldiers were all wearing hats and helmets, holding various shields, densely packed with shimmering sea water in the west of Waga City. The flags and logos were arranged neatly, and then, with the sound of the horns, the fifteen brigades in the front were the first to superimpose the shields together, maintaining the precise marching pace, and stepping on the slope, pressing towards the city like a mountain.
With the call, the Hitius Party ignited the rolling wood with thorns and fire on the top of the city, and then rolled down the slope one by one. Soon, mixed with the flames rising up with the wind, and caught up in the front line of Rabinus. Some soldiers lay down with shields, while others could not dodge. At the same time, they were engulfed by the red lotus fire like a giant venomous whale. However, the centurion and the vanguard who were supervising the battle behind ignored these things, and still held a short sword, shouted and pulled the soldiers behind them, and quickly pressed forward. Many people, in desperation, threw their shields down and covered the flames of the rolling wood, and then stepped on the burning corpses and shields one by one, and crossed.
Soon, on the city walls and towers, the soldiers siege the city and the armed immigrants guarding there launched a fierce hand-to-hand battle. These immigrants were purely ordered by Hitiusle to garrison here as flesh shields. Most of their wives and children were held in the temple of Bolaid, so they had no way out. They could only wave daggers or hold stones, standing on the top of the city to resist wildly. Rabinus' soldiers were killed and injured, but more people leaped up bravely and stabbed the blocked armed immigrants one by one with flexibly using daggers.
"Catch it down, capture it down!" After half a day, several commanders rode happily and came to the camp behind, and shouted to Rabinus, who was squatting without saying a word. Hearing this news, Rabinus jumped up and climbed to the towering siege tower beside him, where he could see the battle appearance of the entire city of Waga - the entire siege slope and the city wall to the west were twisted together due to the battle, and it was impossible to tell the difference. The countless soldiers followed were crawling in there, teams of ants crawling inside like ants. Many centurions were already standing on the broken tower with fireworks, waving the flags in their hands below. The ruins and the city walls were covered with incomplete corpses and bloodstains.
Rabinus couldn't help but burst into tears. He covered his quick-pulling heart, "Don't let go of the whole army, rush in, the soldiers on the city quickly seized the remaining walls and towers, trapped the enemy Hetius Party in the core square of the city, and slaughtered them all!"
"Oh oh oh oh!" At this time, in the square of Waga City, there were a group of Hetius soldiers on each side, commanding many pack horses and oxen, using ropes to scratch hooks, and knocking down a previously loose wall. The rest of the soldiers walked through the streets and alleys, igniting fire everywhere, and fireworks rolled, blew towards the west wall along the wind, making it impossible for the Rabinus soldiers who had just rushed in to open their eyes and could not pursue them.
When the sun was dusk, the wind changed and the fireworks dissipated, all the soldiers suddenly realized that the remaining seven or eight hundred Hetius and hundreds of armed immigrants had burned half of the city of Vaga and retreated to the temple barrier group in the northwest corner of the city. In front of that place, there was another newly completed new city wall that stretched across the surface, and the connection between it and the old city wall was completely collapsed.
