Chapter 7 The Curse of Aetius (Part 2)

Not long after, in the Cyrene Harbor, Gabor, on the newly completed lighthouse on the island of Qi'o, used complex flags to dispatch various ships to the port, and then the Thirteenth Legion, a fully equipped Thirteenth Legion, and the Thirteenth Legion, boarded the ship on the dock. This was an exercise by the Libida fleet, which was to transport all the seven thousand people to the province of Gaul and return to Caesar's command.

Li Bida, standing on the watchtower in the outer city of Barca, instructed Saab to count the supplies and armed forces left there. The most elite main force was the soldiers who brought to Gaul before. Now they all left. Li Bida kept Petterneus, Hebrida and other backbone deputy generals, centurion, and only asked Tagus to lead the team. Before leaving, he specifically asked the Spanish warrior to make a clever idea, "The fleet went around to Sardinia in Sicily, then arrived in Liguria and went to Milan to go directly to Winter.

Battalion, don't dock anywhere in Italy, so as not to be intercepted by Crassus or Pompey. Even when you arrive in Gaul, don't be careless. If you encounter anything, it's you, Milu and the little Hottenhus, and the soldiers' committee serving the statue of King Numa, come to discuss it. Even if Caesar entrusts the deputy to command the two legions, obey on the surface, secretly maintains the semi-independence of the basics, be smarter when executing orders, and take responsibility for the survival of the two legions."

To put it bluntly, these two legions are the bloodline of my Libida. Even the auxiliary legion that may be dismissed at any time must be firmly held in our hands and cannot be dismantled and consumed. In addition, Libida also detained the affiliated cavalry brigade and all the auxiliary brigades, namely the elite cavalry and archers. He had no idea to hand it over to Caesar. Not only that, he also got Caesar's recruitment order. He continued to recruit strong long-range troops in Crete, Rhode Island and other places to strengthen himself.

As for the Essians, they all changed their clothes and added to the Cyrene legion, using Macedonian training methods, so Li Bida had the size of two legions, plus several auxiliary brigades.

"We may receive orders from Brindisi at any time, so there is no slack in winter training. Our route is like this. Because the fleet was formed late and lacked experience, we could not sail along the Libyan coast for a long time. Because it is difficult to obtain supplies, we have to use the "stepping stone" to march safely within the control of the Republic. After detailed observations by the astrological officers and the helmsman, and when the wind direction and climate are smooth, we arrived at Crete in one go, and I have appointed personnel to establish a supply station at the port of Commos on the south bank, and the staff of the Chamber of Commerce are

There was a large amount of materials gathered there, mainly military shoes, sweatshirts, feed and food, and money was solved by Crasus. Then he sailed to Rhodes, then went ashore from Ephesus in Xiaoya, and went east through the plains of Sadies and Lydia, and entered the Kingdom of Gerasia, which was our gathering destination with General Crasus." In the small room in the tower, Libida explained the march plan to all the core generals, and then asked the question. After the assembly of the Kingdom of Gerasia, should we go directly to Anatolia and enter Armenia as a partial division?

"Temporarily follow Crasus, establish a station along the way, advance to Syria, and then worship the Temple of Diana in the Euphrates, and mobilize the troops of the vassal states to join the war, ready to join Seleulia and Babylonian rebels to jointly overthrow the King of Parthia." This is Libida's general plan. "Once the situation stabilizes, I will ask General Crasus to establish a stable line of defense along the river bank, guard the city with peace of mind, and win over the opposition. I will take you north to Ubertnia, receive hospitality, and then station in Armenia at the key points between two great rivers (Euphrates and Tigris). In this way, Parthia will inevitably collapse in less than two years."

This is the vision. After receiving the order, everyone dispersed and took their own duties. Sabo stayed and said to his superiors, "There are two people you must meet."

On the school ground in the center of Barca, two guys with different figures were walking on a tall and majestic horse. Li Bida looked at it carefully. The two immediately stepped forward to salute the commander-in-chief. It seemed that this was what Sabo mentioned. A tall blond hair with a neat beard, tied with a tall bun and raised behind his head, calling himself Tony Hanske, a Germanic Weaver man who lived on the island of the Rhine River. He was captured in the previous Gaul war. He was left behind because he was proficient in horse taming. The other was a native Greek in Libya named Tobias, who was originally a horse dealer who traveled between Spain and Afilica.

"What kind of horse is this?"

"It's the local Berber horse. We are preparing to mix with Spanish good horses and burros to obtain better breeds, so we overthrew our request to meet you and hope to get money to build stables." Tobias said respectfully, and then Li Bida pointed to the horse and asked what it was, and replied that it was called "calf". At this moment, the owl beside the commander-in-chief suddenly felt jealous, rubbing his beautiful nose and head on Li Bida and sniffing it. Li Bida slapped the owl away, and then asked Tony, "How about this local horse? Tony answered honestly, it was stronger than the Gallic and Germanic horses, tall and powerful, with the speed like the wind, and the explosive power was strong, but it was not docile enough. It always felt unstable to use javelins and chopping swords on it.

"It is said that the Parthians have successfully bred the best Persian horses, and they can walk on flat ground in the finest and most rugged areas. Although their wildness is not as wild as this Berber horse, their durability and toughness are significantly stronger." Tobias hurriedly explained, "In addition, the Parthians have invented new bows and arrows, which are said to be shot through and killed before the enemy hears the howling sound of the bowstrings."

This is how-Li Bida pondered for a while and asked Tobias to tell the truth, the more serious the better.

"Improve it, just the intelligence my friend brought back in Mesopotamia, the range of the bow was more than that of the Cretans, twice that of the Nubians, and three times that of the Gaul archers. The power of the arrow cluster can tear apart anyone and a horse, and they extradited a new demonstration tactic from the Seris Empire in the East. Using some kind of terrifying instrument can shock the war horses and make them flee." This is what Tobias learned.
