In the end, they discovered the traces of Anthony's troops in a Gaofu village adjacent to the sea. He had destroyed many villages and warehouses along the way, but were also pursued by two phalanx companies from Perusim Fortress. Anthony's skill in commanding the cavalry was very skilled, or he was a natural cavalry general. Because the number of people was small, he did not separate the 100 people, but gathered them together. After robbing a village and obtaining the necessary supplies, he mercilessly drove away people and animals, burned all the houses, and kept getting rid of the fortress army's pursuit, constantly consumed and dragged them down, and launched counterattacks on tired enemies from time to time.

In the end, he was still bitten to death by the defender commander, but Anthony was still not afraid at all. He left seventy people to guard the mountainside. He led the remaining thirty cavalry to ambush in the dense forest of the side roads, constantly attacking the defender guards, killing light archers, or seizing their luggage. The two phalanx companies that came to attack, totaling five hundred defenders, not attacking the mountain. They left the front and were afraid of Anthony's surprise attack, so they could only fall into place. As a result, they encountered Li Bida's team of troops coming to reinforce.

"One charge of our cavalry brigade can defeat these enemies!" Dusongvier ran to the front of the affiliated cavalry brigade and answered with great confidence to the commander-in-chief.

But Li Bida, who was under the iron hand flag, was silent for a while. He saw the enemy trapped by Anthony and his army, ran around in panic. Some bravely, under the encouragement of the officers, digging fortifications. Some of them were riding fast horses and attacking everywhere, and it seemed that they were looking for help from Perusim.

"We also build fortifications to cut off the road here. Let the enemy's cavalry pass over, attract the main force of Perusim Fortress to go out of the wilderness and then annihilate them in one go!"

This is Li Bida's approach to siege the city and attacking aid. "If the enemy does not dare to come out, we will completely eat up the enemy in front of us tomorrow. Then we will attack the fortress. Perusim is still ours. The path of Taifeng's evil god nostrils discovered by Anthony has caused the entire battle to survive."

Then, the Romans began to dig out and build a larger encirclement net on the periphery of Gaofu and the streets. Soon the situation became subtle: Anthony was surrounded by Egyptian troops from two phalanx companies in the core village of Gaofu, and Li Bida surrounded the two companies in the encirclement. According to Li Bida's vision, he also hoped that Otto Aarons, the "leader of Asia's portal" in the fortress, would "surround" him.

Therefore, the situation in front of General Otto Aarons became complicated. He first heard that there were more than a hundred Roman attackers in the rear. In addition to being surprised, he also thought that this was a pure accident. Perhaps a Roman scout team that was lost, so he sent two companies to annihilate them. But who would have thought that? First, the enemy on the front was so fierce and tenacious, and second, more enemies were detouring to the rear of the fortress.

The soldiers were panicked. What they were most worried about was that there was a temporary fortress on Sepi Island. When the tide was low, there could be roads connected to the land, and when the tide was high, they could use small boats to go there. It was a refuge for soldiers' families and livestock. If they were discovered and destroyed by the enemy, what was the point of sticking to it?

Otto Aarons, who was looking forward to the front and back, was determined to stabilize the morale of defending the city, so he left three soldiers from the company that were short of the organization to continue to defend. He led five main companies to travel from the back door of Perusim, preparing to fight against Li Bida who was sneaking into the attack.

However, Otto Aarons was still very cautious in his actions. He found that many villages along the way were poisoned by the Romans, and Libida's cavalry swept across the country like a whirlwind. So Otto Aarons knew that the other party had plundered quite sufficient supplies and had the confidence and willingness to fight with him, but he was not careless. He asked the company captain to hold the eye-catching paint card in his hand and carefully guide his team to advance towards the set goal. In fact, Otto Aarons had made the worst plan, that is, once the enemy was strong, he would completely abandon the two surrounded companies and retreat to Perusim again. This would be considered as an attack and could give all the soldiers an explanation. As for the safety of the soldiers on Sepi Island, I'm sorry for what has to do with him, the Macedonian noble. His family had already visited the Temple of Thebes with the Pharaoh and his wife, which was very safe.

As long as you stick to Archilaus leading the main force, the military merit medal will still be his!

Probably in the sixteen Roman area behind Perusim, Otto Aarons discovered the position of Libida's army. The hillside was full of soldiers waiting for him, and they were divided into two sides. While sending two companies to death, he was lined up and waiting for him!

"How many enemies are there!" Otto Alence asked the few dark-skinned soldiers who had broken through to seek help before. The other party was full of words and gave an annoying answer through the translator: it was really not clear how many enemies there were.

So we could only scout on the spot. Five companies of 2,500 Egyptian soldiers were lined up, and the entire battlefield was silent like death, and the Roman camp opposite was also quiet.

Several Egyptian scout cavalry, riding horses, walked out of the camp, ran back and forth along the confrontation line between the two armies for several times, and then uniformly gave Otto Alens the military strength: it was probably a thousand-man infantry brigade, because they were fighting a special iron-handed flag, which was different from the palm flag of the ordinary Roman infantry brigade.

"We have the advantage. We cooperate with the two surrounded companies to annihilate this enemy!" Otto Alens waved his hand, and the Egyptian troops of the five companies shouted together, forming a dense array of spears, rushing towards the hillside regardless of their main or secondary. The main part of the Ptolemy army was the indigenous soldiers under the command of Macedonian officers. The tactics were no different from the period of Alexander the Great three hundred years ago, but they were mixed with some local style of the Nile River, such as the stone-cattered soldiers were recruited from Libya, while the archers and light infantry were mostly Nubian blacks.

"Tagus, leave you two hundred-man teams, and the enemies surrounded on the mountain will be handed over to you." On the hillside, Li Bida, wearing a red cloak, shook the white feathers on his cap and helmet twice, then raised the gilded baton and slashed heavily - the flag bearer beside him waved small flags of different colors, and the Vibichinas cavalry on the back of the hillside were shouting, throwing away the hidden wood and branches, and raising bows and arrows to kill them.

This was what Otto Aarons didn't expect. He only knew that the opponent's general had a large number of cavalry, but he didn't expect that it was a cavalry that could shoot arrows. Clusters of arrows fell down, and the Egyptian soldiers in the dense phalanx fell down layer by layer. In this case, the Vibichinas did not need to aim.
