Chapter 19 Fraud (2)
The plaque in Li Bida's hand kept trembling. What would Aphranius do next? It's very simple. He would send good news to the Senate, whether it was staying in Rome or following Pompei to Africa. "Caesar is finished. His three legions have done nothing, and they all died under my sword. It's time to counterattack!"
The following scene can be imagined. Most of the elders rebelled again, and the city-states and tribes of Italy, the East, and Spain were violently shaken, and even Caesar's newly conquered Gaul would have unstable trends.
No, now is not the time for me to sabotage. If Caesar is finished early, I will be the only one who will be with me!
"First, handle the handover ceremony in Marcellia as soon as possible, so as not to notice it."
"Then, the Ligurian Legion was left to maintain public order in the local area, and also notified the Seventh Legion stationed in Gaul to do a good job in preventing rebellion."
"Finally, the other three legions followed me!" Sabo was recording these contents hard on the font board, but faster, Li Bida had already put on his armor and sword fighting, and was ready to ride into Marcellia as soon as possible to complete the surrender. He could not panic at all, otherwise he would inevitably be suspicious.
At this time, Xiao Katu walked out of the house proudly. Sicilian soldiers standing in front of him suddenly came out. When Katu saw that he suddenly came out, they nervously held the hilt of the sword. But after all, they were not the gangsters under Triali. As soldiers, they still had awe for the greatest citizen of the Republic.
"Put my sword away, am I not the supreme commander of this city, the army?" Xiao Katu faced the sword light and raised his chest fearlessly. "If you and your general think it is a supreme and honor to tie me up and offer it to the enemy of the Republic, then please do it!" At this moment, soldiers from the land of Sicily began to yell, and they began to feel ashamed and resentful for their actions, and shouted to the centurion, "Our actions can be crucified, that is, they have disobeyed and betrayed the highest boss, and they have also lost the honor of being a general."
The centurion was unable to stop the spread of this emotion. Hundreds of soldiers on the street were excited. They stepped forward and picked up Little Gatu, shouting that they would never hand him over to the hands of the enemy. Some elders who had been with him in the city of Marcellia also came and said that there were still several intact ships in the dock now, and that they could go out from the water gate of the west wall and go to Spain through the Renus River, so that a small number of people would escape.
"Comrades, citizens. Why do we escape? The Romans always give a fatal blow to powerful enemies at the critical moment. So many years of experience have not proved such truth? After the Battle of Canny, almost all Roman citizens were killed in battle. We did not rely on the leadership of the specially elected fathers, the support of the resolute surviving citizens, and the struggle of the liberated slaves, the enemy was still destroyed by us. Now the enemies outside the city mistakenly thought that we surrendered, and immediately their commander, Li Bida, was the most powerful accomplice of Caesar, and would lead the guards to walk in along the walls of the Acropolis. What we have to do!" Xiao Katu deliberately left this question to the soldiers, because he was familiar with these people, all recruited by himself from Sicily.
A thin centurion shouted excitedly, "We took the opportunity to ambush on both sides of the street and kill Li Bida!"
"Kill Li Bida! Kill Li Bida!" Hundreds of soldiers drew their swords and spoke in unison.
Then in front of the camp, many soldiers of all colors sat cross-legged on the earthen turrets, raising their hands to complain to the commander-in-chief, protesting why they had to take over the surrender of this dying city at such a moment. Isn't this the most unprofitable deal? But Li Bida, who was calm and depressed, did not answer any questions, but stepped on the back of Mathia and stepped onto the tall Spanish Burma. He was still the same ending as that of an ordinary Roman general, with blue and white feathered helmets, scarab golden cloak, holding a baton symbolizing power in his hand. The six entourages holding a bundle of sticks immediately ran forward to open the way, and then under the walking entourage of the Medez Guard, he followed the passage between the earthen turrets, and slowly walked towards the ruins under the acropolis.
At this time, the gate of Marcelia had already opened, and all the nobles, elders and members of the chamber of commerce were lying on both sides of the street, hanging their heads, waiting for the conqueror's horse hooves to pass.
"Macelicus, Marcelicus." Li Bida murmured to himself with such a title. He rode his horse and walked to the city gate surrounded by his followers, and pointed at Terry Ali, the leader of the downtown. The man immediately bowed his waist and stepped forward in a small step, constantly kissing the military shoes and saddle of Chief Vice General Caesar, but several centurions pushed him away, and then searched for him to carry a hidden weapon of daggers.
"We are winners, there is no need to do this." Li Bida uttered this sentence with his lips under his carefully trimmed beard, which was full of pity and insults, and stopped the rough centurion. Then he asked Terry Ali: "I didn't expect that we would meet again."
Terri stammered in embarrassment and flattery, "Yes, I am mainly hosted by this city-state. When I was ready to cast my favor to you, Marcellia closed the city gate and forced me to be the commander. My heart always yearned for light, and there are letters as evidence."
When he saw Li Bida looking away with a contemptuous smile, he was a little panicked. He knew the friendship between Li Bida and Claudi, so he continued to humbly inquire, "I should be considered a timely uprising, right? I don't know whether all the conditions given to me by His Excellency Caesar in advance can be fulfilled. This is the key to whether the enemy can turn against each other on the battlefield later."
"What I care more about is whether Xiao Jiatu escaped from this city?" Li Bida knocked his back with a baton, meaning that he didn't have to continue shamelessly. When the other party heard this, he knew that everything was easy to discuss, so he replied excitedly that Xiao Jiatu was being supervised by his subordinates and could not escape.
At this moment, in the street among the ruins with fire, Li Bida loosened the reins and laughed, because he understood that Terri Ali was not lying—at the end, hundreds of Terri Ali's subordinates were "escorting" his dream prey, Xiao Katu, and heading towards the square in front of the city hall.
