"The Germans didn't know where the end of this big forest was, and no one had ever arrived there. Someone had walked for sixty days, but they still couldn't reach the end." - The description of the Teutonic Black Forest in "The War of the Gaul"

"Master, I didn't expect you to be more and more vicious now. Will you treat your mistress like this in the future? You are a couple."

"Looking, Habaruka, you are just a bookkeeping and confidential slave. What I like is your loyalty to Yulia before. Do your part well and don't talk too much. When you need your advice and suggestions, I will naturally consult you. It's better to shut up." After Li Bida finished speaking, he turned around and went back to his tent.

About two days later, the 1st Battalion of the 10th Roman Legion, and the main force of the 13th Legion, took the Thyme Legion, and arrived at the city of Orcreci, and replaced the rest of the troops that originally besieged here. According to legend, the city of Orcreci was built by the first king of Spain, Argondonias, with the help of ancient Greek immigrants and engineers. Orcreci was the name of it by the Celtics, and the rest of the Spanish were located in steep mountains and river valleys.

The settlements of the Ya barbarians are different. This city is soaked with the architectural craftsmanship of the Greek civilization world. It is located in the middle of two huge lakes. The lake irrigates many fertile fields, and there are rich silver mines there. I believe this is also the reason why Caesar drove many rebellious barbarians to concentrate here. As long as this city is captured, it will not only concentrate on annihilation of the instability factors of Lusitania and far Spain. It can also openly incorporate the silver mines in the fertile fields into the Governor's Office and then auction a large amount of money.

In the positions of the Romans besieging the city, the trenches and forts extended intricately to the distance. Flags for contact were erected everywhere, and a huge pit was dug behind a high hill. Every day, soldiers abandoned the bodies, all of which were killed by the barbarians, including the Roman patrols who attacked everywhere in the village. Their property and clothes were stripped naked and were thrown into it. They were burned everywhere, and they were covered with dark and white bones and limbs that were not burned. From a distance, they looked like the terrifying teeth of the hell monster.

However, although the prospect of capturing the city is very attractive. The city's walls are tall and sturdy, surrounded by extremely long stone walls, as well as many towers and glasses castles, and barbarian soldiers are guarding each place. Caesar went back to run for the consul. He threw the problem of how to conquer such a solid city to the commander of the Legion Commission.

To be honest, there are only four people who can make the decision on the position: the commander of the 10th Legion, "Reckless" Secredirus, who was originally the commander of the Seventh Legion in the Mitradati War, but although he made great contributions to the Seventh Legion, he was disgusted and excluded because of his loose military discipline. Later, he recruited talents in Brindisi Caesar and brought this powerful general. The commander of the 13th Legion, Apis, was also the military guardian of the former Seventh Legion. The person who liberated Libida was a very popular figure, but was expelled by Pompey for being too upright; Papingna, the temporary financial officer appointed by the Governor Caesar, is said to have betrayed the one-eyed dragon Sedouris before, and he also mastered a lot of black materials for the current Roman politicians. Because of his deep understanding of Spain's geographical terroir, Caesar, this

He seemed to be frightened for a few days, and he brought a large number of guards in and out, and was an extremely mysterious figure. In addition, he was a temporary financial officer and deputy general, Li Bida, heard that he was a newly liberated slave a few years ago. The master of Pina Lukuras, the richest man in Roman cities, was later in love with Crassu and Caesar. He was promoted to a new knight and obtained citizenship. It was said that the officers and soldiers had advanced to the unusual relationship with the bald Caesar, but he went north of Italy with only two primitive troops of the auxiliary army to sweep the hinterland of Spain within half a year. Now his thyme (many people will have strange feelings about this name) Although the auxiliary army is only left with a thousand-man brigade and two mixed infantry cavalry brigades, he is still a powerful figure, which makes people admire him.

As a result, at the military meeting, Secredirus and Aspis first had a fierce debate around tactical issues about Orcreci.

"Like the lightning of the Heavenly Father Jupiter, they blitzed the barbarians in the city. They were just mobs from all directions. We took three elephants as the vanguard and cooperated with the vanguard holding the ladder of the pulley, and we would definitely be able to defeat the city of Orcresi in the shortest time!" Secredirus was full of enthusiasm and waved his fists, "This is the proud tactic of tuna attacking the city of Amesus in the east."

"I have also participated in the Battle of Amesus, but the previous defenders were entangled by the Allied Legion and lost their vigilance. They actually publicly repaired the collapsed city walls, and were attacked by General Lukulas. But Orcresi was different. The barbarians who fled here had no irreconcilable hatred and high vigilance against us because they lost their tribesmen and land. Therefore, we cannot be impatient, and we must carefully find the weaknesses of the enemy's city defense before starting." This is Apis's claim, and he is very cautious.

The other two Papingna and Li Bida were both in a quarrel. Li Bida also took a break from his busy schedule to greet Papingna, hoping that he had a good rest in the tent these days and had enough energy to deal with various affairs. This moved Papingna very much. When he stared at Li Bida, his face became even more rosy and shiny.

If no one can convince the other party, then they can only implement the old Roman rule: the general's rotation system. Since the Governor is not here, let the two legion commanders take turns to control the army one-to-one. Both Papingna and Li Bida agree with this (the subtext is my business).

After the lot is drawn, Guisekdelius will be responsible tomorrow, so the man said to Aspis confidently: "You just eat dried figs in the tent and wait with peace of mind. At dusk, I will use the raid tactic to win the city and enjoy the honor of wearing a golden crown of bay leaves."

After the combat mission was issued, Li Bida also had a task, which was to take his subordinates to a high hill called Vera Mountain on the side of Orcresi City, to monitor the raid troops that might appear from secret doors in the city. As for Papingna, the task he caught was to let him stay in the camp with peace of mind, which was very consistent with his idea, and he accepted it very readily, and he wanted to eat dried figs with Apis.
