Under the guidance of the excited Essians, the very cautious King Cyreaniga Army arrived at the border of the Kingdom of Galamantes ten days later, which was a red mountain range of about hundreds of Stadia, and all the passes in it were built into fortresses.

The first thing Li Bida and his party saw was the flames that were violently ejected between the sand and valleys, forming a fire wall of 10 to 20 Roman feet high, which surprised many soldiers and felt a lot of fear.

"This is the oil fire on the surface, the natural gas and other things are all ignited now." Li Bida's heart was clear. He really couldn't figure out any relative shortcuts to capture this barbaric kingdom. He could only secretly thank him for the fact that most of the Vibichinas cavalry had heatstroke before, otherwise they might have been blocked in front of this pass and wiped out the entire army, and then he would have broken his arm.

Afterwards, the chief centurion of the 13th Army, Hebrida, came to inquire about the establishment of the camp. Li Bida immediately said that there are pillars of fire in front and behind, and there is no clean water source in Rome within a radius of dozens of radius. What camp is still established? Your Thousand-man team serves as the main force, and I will take down the small fortress of the mountain pass in one go. Only by breaking through can we gain vitality.

The chief brigade immediately put down the gear and sat at the pass to eat. After drinking goat milk and eating noodles (they hadn't eaten fresh vegetables for a long time), they began to line up. The Galamantes in the fortress of the mountain pass were shocked. This was to fight and he didn't even say hello. So he began to throw various weapons at the Roman soldiers who formed the tortoise shell formation below, including bricks, torches, and javelins. They smashed it so hard that they could not stop the opponent's progress.

When he got close, Hebrida was delighted to find that the Galamantes' chariot warfare skills were first-class, but civil engineering was basically not as good as the Romans. Their fortress was a simple mud-slab wall. A lead-covered wooden door in the middle was probably affected by the natural environment of scarce wood, and it was so back that it was not even a urn behind the city gate. Li Bida, who received the information, immediately let the archer brigade and a small bellows run up. The facts proved that he had the foresight to do this miniaturization, otherwise it would be impossible to use it in this narrow terrain with the large black-tube bellows.

The tortoise shell formation dispersed and became a horizontal formation, which was the protective formation of the Roman legion soldiers. Under the cover of the shield on the front and above, the siege equipment could approach the fortress more calmly. The bellows cannon with an oval shield on its back, dragged the small round cannon, and struggling with pouring stone bricks, leaned against the lead-blocking door of Garamantese. They couldn't help but shout loudly, why the jet distance of this thing was only as close as fifteen to twenty Roman feet!

Because the guards were too small, and the Galamantes believed that if they rushed out and fought in hand-to-hand combat, they would be destined to be the enemy of the Thousand-Man team. Therefore, when the four small bellows were lined up, they did not encounter counterattack or counterattack. Several "water dragons" quickly flew towards the lead door, which was covered with white and sticky mysterious liquid. Then, Alp in the back formation blew the bone whistle, and the Medetje archer wrapped in linen strips and burning asphalt arrows, like red raindrops, shot into the fortress door. The fire soon burst. The nearby Roman soldiers could not bear this heat wave and retreated one after another. Even the cannon hand threw away the small round jar in fear and ran back.

Several waves of fire rose one after another, and the entire pass was burning. Not only were the enemy screaming and fleeing with flames, but the Romans themselves were the same. Some soldiers and gunners were burned to death even if they could not dodge. Li Bida was also surprised and regretful when he saw the churning Red Lotus Fire. It seemed that he had thought of using the firearms too simple. These things often harmed his own personnel.

But no matter what, after two moments, the lead-covered wooden door at the pass was completely burned, and the walls were pitch black and twisted and collapsed. The scorched corpses of both sides of the enemy and us were spreading in the ruins. Then, the vanguard hundred-man team led by Titus Polo quickly crossed the pass with a sign. Below was a vast field of wheat fields. Sure enough, this mountain range was a natural barrier for the Galamantes people, blocking the hot wind in the desert. The temperature in the inner kingdom was pleasant (of course compared to the desert). There were also simple canals across it, dotted with rows of date palm trees, swaying in the wind.

Because of the decisive battle of the Romans, they lost only less than fifty people and broke through the pass. When they arrived at about fifty Galamantes, they brought two or three thousand infantrymen to the distance from the three Furlongs of Libida's army, the other chief observed a little and turned his head to escape. As for the infantry, they seemed to be evacuating in dispersed ways, probably to guard the nearby fortress and restrain the Romans from further advance!

Next was the locust tactic like sweeping: the Romans shoveled and filled all the villages in the middle of the wheat field, and dug up the canal to drain water, and introduced independent channels to dig out to introduce Tamsui into the camp to prevent the Galamantes from poisoning them. Then Li Bida ordered three camps arranged in the shape of "Pin" and stipulated that soldiers should be built strictly in the form of a solid winter camp. Each camp was stationed at a standing infantry brigade and an auxiliary archer brigade was installed outside. Then the Heyun Guard and the Shen Tomb Guard, and the outside baggage personnel were stationed at the lower left camp. The Selapis Legion and four thirteenth Legion infantry brigades were stationed at the lower right camp under the leadership of Seerha. The chief thousand-man brigade and the five most solid infantry brigades, plus the attached cavalry brigades were stationed at the front camp. For this reason, the side doors were opened for cavalry attacks in this camp.

Li Bida asked that in the front camp, two brigades were drawn in turn every day (the 1,000-person brigade was single when attending), and under the protection of an auxiliary archer brigade, they plundered and harvested winter wheat and horse materials around the camp as the axis.

Every time the Qiufeng fights, either the commander-in-chief Li Bida or the deputy general Petternius leads the team himself. Because he is afraid of being attacked by the Galamantes chariot, the soldiers present line up in a square hollow quadrilateral, surrounding the wheat fields in the middle, extending shields and weapons outwards. The archers brigade will come in with arrows and sickles on their backs. After the incident, they will send a command to the camp. After three hundred Vibichinas are riding horses to pick them up, they will be changed into a marching column and return to the camp with the harvest.

Li Bida was reluctant to leave this task to the Nubian blacks to complete, and only the most disciplined Thirteenth Legion could be competent.
