Chapter 19 Strong Yue (2)
After asking the mountaineer, Audac discovered the route of the centurion on duty in the camp of Machius. He led his capable team to a short bush that could accommodate. Then everyone covered the armor and shields with bunches of grass and cloth to prevent the flash from being noticed by the enemy. Then Audac discovered that Machius' camp stood on an extremely steep slope, with a ridge of a mountain behind it. If one attacked this camp, one must cross an extremely sunken place, similar to a mountain. In the valley area, although Machius did not sweep away the houses around him because of his momentary confusion, he ordered all the soldiers to cut off the grass at the bottom of the valley, burned it with flames, and inserted pickets and iron hooks. As long as the enemy crossed here, they would definitely be blocked by these pickets and trenches. On the cliffs on both sides of the opposite side, Machius built many stairways and towers extending out of the air with wood, and placed guards, crossbows and military slaves on it. From the night, it looked warm and lit up, and mixed with the stars in the night could not be distinguished.
"Is this not possible?" Odakus said in contemplation, and then he asked the mountaineer, "Is there any other way to the Ursau Plain?"
"In a large area, there is only one area where the army can pass through. If you want to detour, you will have to go through about two market days." The mountain citizen's answer extinguished Odaks' hope. Then he asked the military slaves and centurion around him to stay for one night and draw a sketch of the camp of Machius early the next morning.
Then he saw the ridge behind the camp of Xiangxiong. It looked blue-gray, clearer than the dark sky, and the color was lighter. "So from here, can you go around to the ridge behind the camp?"
Although it was dark in the night, he could clearly feel the old mountain man's expression "This is simply crazy", "Only deer and antelope can get over it."
"Oh, I am also a native of Urshau. Of course I understand that if these livestock are more affinable, people can do it."
Unconsciously, Machius was kept in the dark on the camping and reconnaissance of the enemy army outside a mountain. At this moment, he was somewhat sentimental on the bed, "The power of life is really an illusory thing. When he is alive, it is bright, as if it is possessed by the stick held by the entourage. People see the stick, it is like seeing the power itself, and they must bow, but when it is lost, what is the stick? It is just a collection of sticks. Once, Pompey was the master of the entire land and the ocean, and he is more effective in the East than any king of kings said, Pers The kings of Judea, the king of Egypt, the king of Parthia, the king of Arabia, and the king of Galatians all bowed to him, and finally he was buried in the distant and deserted salt lake of Aphilica; where is Caesar. He was the king who dominated the entire country in the morning of March 15, but in a moment he was left with only three people carrying his corpse frames and staggered out of the gathering place. Now, who will be the next one to be king in Rome? But no matter what, my good luck never came, Italy was captured, Spain was captured, and Epirus was captured."
The service staff who poured wine next to him said, "No, this is your good luck."
Machius turned his eyes blankly, "We are here. In this place where the enemy may or may not come. So close to the clouds and the sun, and so far away from the earth and the rivers. I really feel that everything in the world has nothing to do with me. Maybe after the defeat of the Brothers Shao Pompey, my fate will naturally come to an end, silently."
"No, when your destiny reaches the end, it will be vigorous and vigorous." The service continued to compliment without knowing what was going on, and almost angered Machius, who was sad and sad, said angrily, "If you are captured again this time, I will commit suicide with a sword and fulfill your prophecy, even though you did not wear an olive wood hat or a sheepskin cloak."
Then the serviceman immediately took a sword and said to Machius, "This is for the sake of an emergency, Lord General."
Machius was so angry that his hands were trembling, but his cultivation was pretty good, so he suppressed his emotions and did not get angry. Then he pinned the sword sent by the service to the shoulder strap.
The next day, the soldiers spread throughout the pass camp that their commander Machius was carrying his sword at any time and preparing for "reincarnation". Everyone's morale suddenly rose a lot. In the early morning, the patrol cavalry followed the cliff on the front of the camp, the only narrow slope with a height of the trunk. When patrolling according to the usual practice, Audac, who had been lurking all night, ran back quickly after drawing a terrain sketch.
After Libida unfolded the drawing, he decisively approved Odakus's plan. "Time waits for no one. Fortunately, Machius is a guy who is ignorant of the battle formation. If either Rabinus or Rilias is still there, the battle will not be light. I led Flakus and Dussenvier on the front, and attacked along the valley bottom to attract Machius's attention. You led the new Lius army of two regiments, took fifty cavalry, and walked around the ridge line on the back of the enemy camp, waiting for an opportunity to attack."
"Master, please forgive me for being suspicious and talkative. I do not have complete trust in Odakus' identity - he is a native Ursau noble, and his wife and children are still hostages with Little Pompei. If he commands randomly in the battle or even throws into the enemy, our career will suffer setbacks. If Sectorus quickly brings a legion up, we will all have to be in this damn Jedi, not up or down, and wait for death." At this time, Fracus, the chief centurion of the Liwus legion, said in front of everyone, "Of course, I did not say this out of my private narrow mind. King Numa and Liwus witnessed my justice and mind."
At this time, everyone was silent. Many generals did think that Li Bida's move was a bit too risky, but the high priest pointed at Flakus and said, "You are Lucanian in Italy, and you are only separated from Jingulum, the hometown of Rabinus, and you can see the beautiful Adriatic Sea at the same time. So, did I doubt you when I promoted the centurion? And you, Dussenvier, during the Gaul War, your tribe fought with us with the Helvetis. Later, you and your Vibichinas followed me through many wars, when did we doubt each other? And my personal guard Alp, who was also a dark-skinned Nubian warrior, but after I went to bed he was surrounded by my side with swords at all times. The same is true for Odakus, tell me, Odakus!"
As he said that, Li Bida picked up a silver pot filled with iced cherry wine and said to Ordax, "Tell me yourself, I'll listen here, in front of the statue of Lius, the God of War, and his three sons." (To be continued)
