Chapter 14: Little Katu Appears (Part 2)

In secret, Vicintoli also sent detailed works familiar with the inside story to enter the city and advise all the Albissi people, "Now no one can save this dead city. We are all children of Gaul, why both of them are used by Rome and the Greeks? Now that Pompei and Caesar are fighting each other, all we have to do is to secretly join hands and take the opportunity to drive foreign forces out of the land of Gaul, so don't make unnecessary sacrifices and surrender temporarily, otherwise not only you, but also the entire city of Marcella will be turned into powder..."

However, this secret letter failed to alleviate the Albissi's impulse. These bearded brave men quickly selected 4,000 elite soldiers. After obtaining Dumijius' approval, they opened the city gate and charged towards the blockade line.

Terry Ali was the commander, and when he appeared before the blockade with a horse and a flag, many of the Libida Legion recognized his soldiers and centurion standing on the tower, shouting, "Look, Pompeii still let the villain who killed the civil guards come to command the army. If he is the real sycam that endangers the Republic, what else can he justify."

But Li Bida ordered, "The mission to resist this charge is assigned to the Sixth Legion. Remember that you are the only legion with a regular number, but I have never thought that this represents anything. It is a battle proof number, not the other way around! I and the two legions are stationed in the fifteenth Romanian behind you. When you can't hold on, then send a messenger, and I will definitely come to rescue."

"Don't let this shame come, guys." Even though Angandinus has always been known for his mediocrity, he and all the centurions have inspired Li Bida's order. Four thousand young soldiers with armor and shields, with great ambitions, lined up the battle line along the blockade line, and all the military slaves really sold their strength, shouted trumpets, dismantled most of the crossbows, scorpion crossbows, and rod casters on the second blockade line to dismantle and transported them to the first blockade line to be placed. In this way, the firepower of the defense was more than doubled, and the remaining more than a thousand light-armed scattered soldiers all climbed the tower and the earth platform, ready for battle.

For a legion like them, the first battle is very important, and Li Bida promised Angandinus: "As long as you ensure that the blockade line is maintained, your sixth legion will have its nickname 'Marcelia' from then on."

Four thousand furious Albissi warriors lined up the empty grass outside the city, primitive and dense formations, and in the form of a square formation, Angandinus could not believe his eyes. The only explanation was that the Albissi had probably never fought with the Roman army before. Thinking about it, they were probably employed by Marcellia, and they usually acted as bodyguards in HNA or fought against more remote and wilderness enemies.

Li Bida specially left to the sixth legion's cavalry cannon teams, all of whom were concentrated, and silently focused on the direction of the Albissi formation.

The positions before and after the blockade line were silent, while the Albissi's pace became more and more rapid and dense. Facing the Roman camp, there were only two furons, one furon and the other Stadea.

A row of dozens of pounds of stone bullets flew straight towards the front row of barbarian warriors, their arms and broken legs, whistling through the entire depth. Many people could still stare at their eyes and see their **s easily torn and shot through. At that time, because death was too short, most people died without fear.

Rows of stone bullets and spear arrows shot out quickly, and then passed through with blood and flesh. The dead bodies on the ground fell down with a bang. The seriously injured were still holding their limbs and intestines in a daze, moving forward. Four thousand Albisians, the preset still cavalry artillery fire suddenly exploded. In just half a day, they turned into groups of corpses in the wilderness. In the open space behind them, countless javelin spears and arrows stood like thick wheat straws, with many bloody craters outside. The entire battlefield turned into death silence, leaving only the bloody wind.

Even the Sixth Legion did not realize that all the projection firepower would have such power when it was launched together! The four thousand barbarian warriors were instantly wiped out, and the rest were all fleeing in scattered. The wine they drank before the war should have been awakened by the smell of internal organs and blood. All the young soldiers were quietly staying behind the blockade line. They were originally waiting for close contact, but now they vaguely realized that what they needed to serve under General Li Bida's account was not semester courage, but strict discipline, skillful operation and orderly coordination.

In this situation, Dumijius, who was watching the battle on the tower, was also stunned, but Triali obviously had to adapt much, so he just suggested carefully: "There are fewer than a few thousand mouths of rice and food, because I will never have to pay rations and military pay to the dead guys. Then, I will take the opportunity to act!"

Sure enough, at night, when the Sixth Army was still clearing the remains in front of the position, Triali, with four hundred cavalry and two thousand infantry, suddenly attacked a cavalry camp beside the street outside the city. More than 100 people were killed in Libida's cavalry, and the street leading to the southwest and the bridge on the Renus River fell into Triali's hands. But Libida, who returned to the blockade line the next day, still gave the Sixth Army generals soldiers enough rewards and praised their calmness and courage. When he learned that Triali had succeeded in the sneak attack, Libida was unmoved. He asked again: "Hasn't Xiao Jiatu come yet?" It seems that he cared about this person much more than caring about simple battle results.

For nearly a month, Li Bida was waiting. He did not change his subordinates or attacked the city. Dumijius was also his own. Except for the small-scale cavalry battle that occurred in front of the confrontation, both sides seemed to be accumulating their strength and waiting for the next round of competition.

"Are I fooled by Katu? Even if I circled the earth, he should have arrived in the city of Marcellia now!" Sometimes, Li Bida was in the tent, raising his legs and murmured to Sabo next to him.

But Xiao Gatu did not lie to him. When he felt slacking, Xiao Gatu suddenly came. Only then did Li Bida realize that this person could also play tricks. It was fake that Gatu said that he would not go to Sicily. He was actually in Sicily for a while. Taking advantage of the fact that Li Bida and Caesar were not at the same place, he recruited ships and strong men in the coastal towns of Sicily. Xiao Gatu's work was done well. Before Curio advanced, he took advantage of this gap in time to take dozens of new elite soldiers, carrying dozens of large and small ships, carrying a large amount of food, and entered the city of Marcellia under Li Bida's nose.

The citizens cheered and welcomed Katu as the greatest hero.
