"Temur is a very strange man, and he is blessed by God and destiny." - Timur's enemy

As soon as they fought, the five hundred cavalry in Sibalas were defeated. They were torn, bumped, trampled, and stabbed, and their formation could not be maintained instantly. The friendly forces on the city walls and Eye Forts were shooting arrows frantically in an attempt to provide them with support, but these things were flying down and giving their own weak protection to the cavalry.

Soon, after the mast curtain front, Li Bida's light infantry also rushed out shouting. Most of them were Agrien and Esio, who were marching like flying, constantly throwing darts and stones, and hitting the cavalry of Sibalas falling off their horses.

The entire city was covered with smoke and dust, and people were everywhere. The bodies of the dead and injured were everywhere. Both sides were hurting each other. The shouts of killing even reached the city of Athens. Brutu also stood silently on the tower wearing a general's cloak, watching the fierce battle under the city opposite. He could do nothing and could only pray that Sibalas would be safe and safeguard his cavalry and retreat smoothly.

But Libida's cavalry was like a fishy shark. When the infantry of a regiment of Eye Fortress ran and lined up in a horizontal line with shields to reinforce the commander Sibalas, they retreated, and the heavy-armed cavalry in Libida's team turned their heads and retreated cleverly. The light-armed Mathia cavalry roared out one after another, and the arrows were fired. Sibalas' cavalry and infantry were caught off guard and were shot over in screams. Sibalas himself was also shot in the face and fell off the horse.

"Don't worry about me. Keep the military flag safe. My deputy general, please continue to take everyone back. We will pay the price for this reckless attack." Sibalas was held by his entourage, covered his bloody face with his hands, and shouted in pain, but many of his cavalry still refused to abandon his generals, but dismounted one after another, shouted and drew out his sword. They surrounded Sibalas and the military flag, and wanted to continue to fight with the enemy.

In this gap, the Mathia cavalry rushed forward again. The infantry and cavalry of Sibalas formed a formation, howling and vowed to block and defeat him. However, after the Mathia approached, they turned around again and shot back a wave of arrow feathers, stirring up smoke and dust in the sky and poured into Sibalas' formation. Everyone stumbled and it was difficult to keep it here.

A harsh and terrifying sound of trumpets was remembered. The countless small flame-tongued flags on the opposite side were raised, and Li Bida's heavy cavalry re-arranged into a terrifying wall-shaped army formation. In this sound, he held a spear high, rumbling like moving mountains and city walls, rumbling over and over, and soon rushed into the smoke and dust. The defense line of Sibalas was trampled into pieces in an instant. The light infantry of the Medegis, the Essians and the Agrians followed the pace of their heavy cavalry and jumped into the chaotic enemy formation, holding short swords and machetes, dancing and killing.

After this fatal shock, almost no one survived, including poor Sibalas, his cavalry, and the infantry of a regiment who came to reinforce. His head was cut off and washed, and was sent to Libida's tent at noon for the high priest to be seen.

"What do I want this head to do? I give his soldiers who cut off his feet a reward of 30,000 dinars, but this is also the matter of the scale officer - what I want is the city of Julipis, do you understand." Seeing the high priest at the head of Sibalas, he was furious.

Then all the generals were trembling. Then they remembered that the high priest had to seize the city before the evening today. Therefore, Sabo immediately ordered: he would take charge of the siege position on the left, Faubinas (commander of the 16th Legion) was responsible for the siege position on the right - Paruma, Hanske, Dussenvier, and Wendys, four deputy cavalry generals, commanded all the cavalry, and continued to hold in the central position and act as a "chain" for connection, accompanied by about 6,000 light infantrymen as cover. Finally, on the left was the chief centurion of the 12th Legion as the vanguard, and on the right was the chief centurion of the 16th Legion, Cretas, acting as the siege position on the right. Everyone was ready to give in and did not want to give in. Whether it was the left and right group, they longed to be the first to capture the leaderless castle of the Uripis.

When all the flags gathered under the castle, on the Piraeus Port Acropolis, Horace, Virgil and other young people also looked at the siege army like gravel, stars, and sunlight below. They were silent. More than 20 legions and hundreds of huge ships surrounded the city of Athens like iron chains. If they were Li Bida's side, they might be able to make the most magnificent poems to praise all this, but they were the besieged side. At this time, everyone was silent and didn't know what to say.

"I will lead the main force of the four legions - except for the first legion here to defend, go out to fight Li Bida's legion to the end, and fight to the end." Everyone turned around after hearing this voice, but saw Brutu saying this, standing on the porch, and saying this to them.

"I want to follow you too!" Virgil walked down the steps, then he nodded to Horace next to him, "You stay here to take charge of defense."

"It's ridiculous, are you so despised me because of my youth? I'm not afraid of anyone. Holding a spear, I will completely pierce the barriers of the tyrant and make him tremble under my weapons." Horace was unwilling to be a turtle with a head-reducing death. Although Kasio's previous death made him no longer see the hope of victory, the blood in his heart had not frozen yet.

"Enough, you all stay! Just call Karata Femius as my deputy general, command one wing, Kassi asks that guy to leave me and die like this. If he is still here today, he will not have called Li Bida's army so majestic." Brutu said, then he walked forward and held Horace and Virgil's shoulders, "If I can successfully break through, you will lead a legion out of the city to help me; if I can retreat, I will continue to lead you to stay at Athens, the last lonely bastion in the vast ocean; if I die in battle, you will not
