Chapter 22 Fast Drive (Part 2)
Odakus found the local young nobles of Bratias. They were comrades when they were the auxiliary army of Pompeii, and they were very familiar with each other.
"Now the high priest has a clear requirement, which is to take advantage of the lack of information from the enemy and still be in the dark to give Uria a moment!" On the horse galloping in the vanguard, Odakus shouted to the follower of Bratis.
"That's good. I've long wanted to do something like a horse bandit and completely loot the city. I have a few nobles I know to assist the little Thunder God in the defense. Immediately, we brothers will play with the group of Pompey in our palms." Bratias agreed generously.
Then, the two bold and arrogant guys asked the more than 500 cavalry and light infantry who were following behind to put on thin Saganm jackets - this is the most common dress for men on the Iberian Peninsula, covering their logos and tattoos. Then Audacs sent two cavalrymen to the opposite direction, and found the main marching team following Li Bida and told the high priest his own military plan.
Li Bida understood it and ordered the entire army to temporarily rest and hide on both sides of the road, ready to attack, and then told Odakus and Bratias to do it boldly, "As long as we can capture Uria as soon as possible, I will allocate one-third of the spoils in the city and share them with you two." This greatly stimulated the two, so Bratias took all the cavalry and took the lead and galloped to the city of Uria.

The city of Uria is located in the south of the bend of the Bebbetis River, and is just above the Hinkilis River, which runs north and south. Its geographical location is extremely important. But the city has no danger to be found. It is surrounded by fertile wheat fields and rolling hills, especially suitable for agriculture and animal husbandry production. The Sixth Spanish Corps of Syketus was stationed in the mountains of Midacia, four Romans away from the city, overlooking the valley. The commander was Dasius. He was only thirty-four years old. He was a military guardian who followed Pompeii. When the senior cadres were damaged, he had to take up the command post of a legion.
During this period, Dasius was responsible for both military and political affairs. He kept shuttled between the barracks and the city. He went to the barracks to appease the soldiers and inspect the service. After the order of the little Thor, he attacked south along the Hincilis River, completed the command of the commander's "two-side attack" plan, and severely injured the enemy Petternius; when he went to the city, he needed to constantly discuss with the local tribes and the market towns. He asked the other party to pay money and food.
This made Dasius very tired, and there were inevitably some mistakes and unscrupulous work. Today, the commander just entered Uria City and inspected the city defense and preparation, several elders complained that there were too few guard troops. There was only one regular team assigned by Dasius, and the rest were barbarian soldiers, plus some support citizens. However, the barbarian soldiers had a very poor military discipline and had begun to harass the city and rob the house.
"Where are there any regular troops to Guicheng at my hand? The war on the front line is tight now, and maybe even this only brigade will be transferred back and heading to the commander's storm." Dasius responded dissatisfiedly, "So if you want to save half of the reserves in the Parthenon Temple in the city, you have to pay the other half easily, to help the barbarian soldiers guarding the city, and to the regular army that shocked the enemy." After that, he deliberately issued an order to the documents that followed, "From now on, post notices everywhere to ask more barbarians to come and join the army."
At this moment, Bratias, with about fifty cavalrymen, uniformly wearing Saganm jackets, came to the iron lattice gate under the city, and loudly asked to enter the city to assist in defense, saying that his move was to work with his companions to defend the beautiful city. The elders in the city felt a headache, but Dasius was greatly appreciated. In the spirit of picking up all the dishes in the basket, he wanted to lead Bratias into the city. However, the guard captain who guarded here reminded the commander that the battlefield in the entire Monda Plain is now in volatile and any outsiders must be strictly investigated.
But at this time, several barbarian nobles who came to watch the situation stood behind the city wall, greeted each other enthusiastically and joked with Bratis. Then they collectively found Dasius and petitioned that the character of this brave young nobleman would never have any problems, and he came for the friendship with us.
Finally, Dasius believed it, so he ordered the gate to be pulled up and then released Bratis in.
Then Dashius left immediately, and led the guards to sway along the city to the streets of the Mydacia Valley, and walked towards his camp. It was dark now, and Odakus, with the remaining four hundred cavalrymen, also walked side by side with Dashius along the road.
The commander's guard immediately picked up his weapons and prepared for the battle. They were very nervous about this unknown cavalry team. When the leader of the leader was preparing to ask for the password - "Salute to you!" At this time, Odax, who was only one arrow away from Dasius, was wise in a hurry, and asked the Spanish people on the horse to stand up and salute to Dasius in the form of assisting the troops.
As a result, Dashius also quickly and beautifully replied, and then said to the captain beside him, "Don't panic, this is the patrol cavalry I sent out in the early morning." So he was confused, and Audac screamed in shame, followed Dashius's four hundred cavalry and slowly advanced to three Romes, and according to the fixed regulations, he "patrol" in another direction, and as a result, he walked along the entire camp. Audac discovered a small hill ahead, with bushes of varying heights standing on his back, and there were no soldiers from Dashius's soldiers on it, so he quietly took advantage of the night to light up Songming and climb the flat-top hill, "Leave a quarter of the people, dismounted and lurked on the top of the mountain, monitoring the enemy's barracks, and the rest went to the bushes on the hillside to hide and wait for the signal."
The night was low, and in the Acropolis camp of Uria, Bratias, who had just joined during the day, found several familiar local nobles. Taking advantage of the patrol of the Roman guard captain, everyone gathered together, "Parts, we have been guarding the city for the Pompei Party for a while, but we have never seen the corresponding reward. In addition, I learned from my other very good friend that the high priest of the Republic, with fifteen legions, swept everything across Spain. The two young Pompei are at the end of their journey, and there is no need to bury them for them."
After saying that, Bratias suddenly raised a letter of writing with the seal of the High Priest and gave it to everyone to see, "As long as you capture this city, one-third of all the spoils will be divided equally by us. How about - I am missing a helper now." (To be continued...)
