"But in this moment of dispute and noisy, a tiny can take the opportunity to make a big splash." - Alexander's poet Arimarcus

———————————————————————

"Of course I will give my favorite Karabiya, waiting for me to finish all this and go to the coastal palace in Nicomedia to reunite with you." After whispering this sentence, the high priest in front of Wendipo City slowly placed the small wooden statues of his children carefully and solemnly in the shelf in his helmet, and then put them on. In front of him, the morning light and breeze swelled with various flags and military signs, "The whole army follows my order and attacks, towards the northwest of the Monda Plain, in the direction of Uriya City!" Li Bida pointed at the place where the sun was rising with a gilded baton.

At this time, all the generals, including the elders and chiefs of Wendipo, realized that the high priest had just used a treacherous strategy of deceiving the enemy before - everything he had done was just an illusion, and he was unwilling to continue to face east and meet with Petternius. These were the smoke released by Li Bida, including raising wood and carrying animals, and contacting tribal chiefs in the surrounding areas.

When he asked the little Thor to take his main force to the hilly areas on the banks of the Hinkilis to block him, he directly followed the plains between Urshao and the river bank and drove directly to the city of Uriya upstream of the river.

The real goal of his rendezvous was his "left hook" - the three legions commanded by Karenus. After passing through the city of Cardes, they rushed directly along the river of Bybethis, heading towards the heartland core of Korduba.

In addition, Li Bida had a great appetite. Not only did he care about the annihilation of the two legions of the Little Thor, but he also had to conquer Corduba after joining with Karenus, and then cooperate with Vicintoli and Itatsos's northern army. He attacked the north and south completely and completely encircled the Leus' legion in the triangle between the Bebytes River and the Hinkilis River.

"No matter whether it is Rous or Sectorus, no young heroes of the Pompei family can be left behind. All need to be eliminated, otherwise the borders and oceans of the Republic will never be peaceful." Li Bida expressed this in his private letter to Cicero in the city of Rome, without any compassion. He also demanded this in his letters to the commanders of all fronts.

As for Wendipo City, Li Bida specially handed over the defense to surrendered general Machius, and gave him all his three previous brigades of troops. There are two main considerations: First, Machius is mostly Spanish barbarian soldiers, and his training and tactics are obviously different from his new army. He is not well coordinated on the battlefield and it is difficult to coordinate the pace; second, Machius abandoned the fortress defense and surrendered to himself. The defeated general

It is when you encounter the old master again, and the resistance is often more intense than others. "Dear Lord Machius, now my military strength is too short. So you can only lead your original three brigades in Wendipo. When defending the city, please remember that you just need to plunder the materials and money of surrounding towns and tribes. Don't let the teams that the chiefs and kings assist in the war come in, because they are all capricious and unreliable."

Of course, Machius knew what the task assigned to him meant by the high priest, but he had to bear it to the end. "Everyone, including the citizens of Wendypo, will renovate the city gates and towers for me, and deepen the moats to protect the city, and prepare enough guardian equipment and supplies! We will hold on here for ten to fifteen days. May the gods protect us."

At the same time, Li Bida's advancing column was galloping rapidly on the edge of the Monda Plain. The scout cavalry of Ursau City were the first to discover the whereabouts of this team. "Don't worry about these guys, we don't have to go to harass and attack Ursau City, because it is so strong that it is not within my consideration. Everyone continues to move forward rapidly. According to Caodian's requirements, all soldiers carried equipment and moved forward at the speed of one day and four Romans. I have to go forward about thirty to fifty Romans every day."

This kind of speed was very strict in the history of ancient marching. It should be noted that when Caesar marched in Gaul, the same was required. It is obvious that Li Bida wanted to temper the army to a degree of stalemate with Caesar's elite soldiers. Even with the new firearms such as "Mom" and new cavalry, the training of soldiers' physical fitness and quality cannot be relaxed.

In this way, Urshao's scout cavalry rode fast horses and followed the high priest's army foolishly, and they ran about 10 or 20 Romans, but they could never understand their movements, because the Monda Plain was too vast - this group of enemies might go around the northern end of the Hinkilis River and meet with the seven enemy legions from the east; or they could cross the Bebytes River diagonally from the northwest to merge with the enemies of the three legions to the west. The possibility was too many. The guards stationed in Urshao City did not dare to pursue, and were afraid of the fate of being ambushed and annihilated like Mukuas, but they did not dare to let Li Bida go. They could only send a few orders to rush to the riverside camp where the little Thor was located, and tell the commander the direction of the enemy.

However, due to the lack of information, the security officer did not know that Syketus had taken the main force to the lower reaches of the river and was deploying defenses against Wendipo. So the order was dusk and ran to the camp to find out that the coach was not there. So he ran day and night again and finally found the little Thunder God at the beginning of the second whistle that night.

"Bastard, I'm deceived by this guy again!" Seyx's whole face and neck turned red, and he roared, and then he turned a few times and suddenly said, "Brother is about to be in danger. No, I must also choose cavalry and light infantry to catch up with that guy Libidaus."

However, his actions were greatly delayed for a day. By the early morning of the next day, Li Bida's army, who had finished resting on the roadside, began to stand up and continue to rush towards Uriya City, they were already seventy-five Romans away from Ursha City, and went deep into the hinterland of the river triangle. This interspersed operation was very successful. The way was empty and there was no enemy coming to intercept it.
