After a burst of smoke, Li Bida watched the two chariots rush out of the valley without any damage and disappear into the vast yellow sand, and couldn't help but sigh: "We can't learn this tactic, just like the Romans or the Greeks could not learn the Scythians' ability to draw bows and shoot arrows on horseback. The only desirable way is to completely lose this ability in the world."

Soon, the Essians invited a strange alien army to resist the hunting news spread in the Kingdom of Galamantes. The reason why this kingdom could dominate southwestern Libya was that it was only because it had two kinds of "gold", one was white gold, that is, natural salt wells, and the other was purple gold, that is, amethyst. The locals used this natural resource to trade with Cyrene, Carthage and even Egypt in exchange for a lot of iron ingots and seeds, and began to live an advanced semi-nova semi-farming life, and began to have considerable forging technology, began to use surplus products to make chariots and iron swords, and feed professional troops, and liked to rob the money and crops of weak forces around them. "No matter how you do it, it is the cheapest and most cost-effective to grab it directly."

Therefore, Li Bida's covet this place was also the reason why he was willing to help the Essians. Anyway, the Essians were very backward, and the salt wells and mines still had to be turned on by him. Compared with these cavemen, they were more interested in the residence and fields of the Galamantes people.

On the top of the unknown mountain, the dark red clouds drooped very low, the air was filled with the feeling of flames flowing, and all the generals watching the battle were covered in sweat. Anthony started to curse behind the bushes, took off the tormenting leather armor, put on only a shirt, and began to drink the wine mixed with water.

"I remind you many times. I can't help drinking wine. But I actually put it in with clear water. You must know that this thing is more expensive than wine here." Li Bida turned around and complained. Anthony wiped his mouth and pointed to the direction at the foot of the mountain without regard. There, the chief brigade led by Hebrida was lined up in a column and headed towards a riverbed that was winding and dry at the foot of the mountain.

Opposite the riverbed was the army of the Galamantes, with about two or three thousand men. Outside the dozens of light chariots arranged in the rear, their equipment was no different from that of the barbarians in Gaul, Spain and other places. Some were only wearing Berber robes, holding wooden spears and shields, while others possessed Corinthian armor, probably seized the Kingdom of Cyrene, waving the dagger in their hands, and were provoking Hebrida loudly.

In the whistle, the Thousand-Man team of Hebrida quickly changed its formation and held various flame flags and waved and commanded. This greatly attracted the attention of the other party. Suddenly, a row of light scorpion crossbows with strings in advance were lifted to the front. The front team of Galamantese was shot fiercely. At the same time, a group of people fell down to the front with their heads and fell down. Then the wing of auxiliary cavalry bravely accompanied the three hundred-man teams of the forward, crossing the riverbed to launch an attack. They used the javelin in their hands to greet the enemy. The formation of Galamantese was immediately smashed into a gap and was constantly torn to pieces by the fierce Romans, because Hebrida skillfully threw his successors into it.

"My respectful chief centurion, when the enemy has many chariots, please leave half of the infantry on the river bank to be responsible for responding to prevent the enemy's counterattack, and do not let the cavalry chase too deeply!" During the fight, Sabo panted to the sword shadow in front, shouting and reminding Hebrida, who had just stabbed the enemy to death and was drawing out his sword fighting.

But Hebrida scoffed at the young man's advice. When I was in the war, you were still complimenting your mother's nipples!

As a result, when the Roman Thousand-Man brigade was almost all pressed on, the cavalry in front were first attacked by the enemy's chariots. Galamantes' chariots once again showed their superb skills of turning and detour. Most of them were galloping back and forth in the front view of the Roman affiliated cavalry, stirring up dust to blur the opponent's vision. Then about ten chariots formed a column, violently interspersed between the two infantry lines in Hebrida, dispersing all the light infantry there. They had the instinct to avoid the chariots that were rushing towards them, and then the big front

Some of the chariots also turned back and launched a counterattack against the subordinate cavalry. This time, several sharp spears were tied to the front of the chariot of the Galamantes. The spearheads of the cold light shone slightly up and down when charging, which frightened the Vibichinas' horses. The cavalry took the lead in retreating towards the riverbed position, but at this time, Hebrida was in front and Sabo was behind, and still controlled the entire front line - they formed several hollow square formations, tenaciously resisting the squeezing of the opponent's chariots and the impact of the infantry, and threw stones and javelins with the enemy, slowly retreating towards the starting position.

But when the Vibichinas cavalry crossed their horizons, two soldiers of the 100-man team were not determined enough, and they gave up the formation and ran in a mess with the cavalry. They were ambushed in advance on the back of a sand dune, and about twenty chariots rushed. Many soldiers fell heads down in the mud on the riverbed. Under the crushing and shooting of the Galamantes, they were either killed or injured.

At the critical moment, the cavalry cannon on Wuming Mountain fired a wave of stone bullets in time, interfering with the movement of the enemy's chariots. Then Li Bida issued an order to attack. Two auxiliary brigades rushed down the hillside under the cover of bows and arrows, which made the Galamantes dare not expand the results of the battle. Many people followed the chariots, turned around and retreated, and left the battlefield.

This frontal battle can be said that both sides were both injured, but for the Thousand-Man team of Highbreda alone, it was undoubtedly a defeat. More than half of the two hundred teams died in battle, one centurion died in battle, and the other was injured - Li Bida swept the injured one to the end and punished it as an ordinary soldier. The reason should not be found in Highbreda. Instead, when the centurion fought, he forgot the doctrine he repeatedly mentioned on weekdays, that is, before the enemy's cavalry or chariot, he should always set up his formation and fight with peace of mind, rather than retreating in a mess.

"Let Titus Polo succeed as a centurion, and his position is common in combat in the army." Li Bida said to Anthony next to him.

"So, please tell me, what did you observe in this battle?" Anthony asked after receiving the personnel orders (these are theoretically managed by the military civilian officials).

"The opponent's chariots are no less than war horses. We must effectively use the terrain and reasonable tactics of infantry and cavalry to go deep into the territory of the Galamantes to defeat them." Li Bida's answer was probably confident, but the specific words were clichés, which made Anthony shrugge and say whether he could say it in detail and clarity.

"You first say that if you lead the cavalry affiliated brigade and ask Dussonvier to assist you, can you move forward one thousand Stadia in three days?"
