Chapter 19 Fraud (2)
"Your Excellency, you are walking too far. The chapters are updated the fastest." Alp beside Li Bida reminded him while leaning on the hilt of "Habaishi".
"No, I'm still worried, how to deal with Xiao Katu. Now there is a way, that is, to send him directly to Caesar - I don't want to bear any charges for him, whether it's detention or killing, I will equip him with a fast and grand ship like I do to VIPs, take a hundred soldiers away, and send him a polite gift from the city of Marcellia, and let Caesar face him!" Li Bida muttered as he walked.
At this moment, the sunlight in the sky was slowly blocked, and dark clouds and long-lost cool breeze gathered in the rubble square. Li Bida felt that his cheeks began to wet and it was raining.
But the little Katu, wearing a white robe, stood stubbornly surrounded by the soldiers of Terriali, with his fists slightly raised, as if he was not a prisoner, but as usual, he wanted to climb up and deliver a speech to the people. A thin centurion, who was always by his side, made an invitation gesture to him, meaning that he should step forward and ask for forgiveness of the victor General Libidaus.
The steps of both sides became more and more rapid, and Li Bida was walking faster and faster. He was unwilling to let Xiao Jiatu make any humble actions against his will, as it would only cause harm to him, so he stretched out his hand and prepared to stop Xiao Jiatu's bow and even kneel down.
What surprised him instantly was that the thin centurion quickly surpassed Xiao Jiatu's figure and ran straight towards him, "Where are you from Sicily?" Li Bida asked while walking, squinting his eyes in the rain.
"Brundim City. My name is Fabius. Remember this name, because I will be the one who killed you!" The other party said quickly, then pulled out the sword from his shoulder strap, and a thunderbolt rolled down, and a white light flashed, but his sword was even more rapid than thunder and lightning, and he slashed towards Li Bida's head!
Instinctively, Li Bida staggered to the side. The sword directly split his shoulder armor, carrying a piece of flesh on his arm. The thunder disappeared in the ears of everyone who was stunned. Li Bida roared with his angrily before he could draw the sword. Before he could draw the sword, he directly used his right fist to break Fabius' neck. The other party got out several Roman rulers away, and immediately cut off his anger.
"Kill Li Bida!" All the Sicilian soldiers behind Xiao Jiatu quickly drew their swords and rushed forward, stinging hard in the rain and lightning. Alp shouted, holding his shield and Habashi and rushed up. The Medegi Guards rushed forward, and some even had no weapons in their hands and fought against each other.
Li Bida, who was constantly pushed back, protected his helmet with his hands and shouted in a panic, "Run back to the camp outside the city!" The entourages and centurions around him were in chaos, and the guards were in chaos. At this moment, the square was surrounded by shouts of "killing Li Bida". Albissi, Sicilian soldiers, and some private soldiers of the Marcelian nobles who were still loyal to Pompey, climbed up to the roofs, the arcades and the city walls from all sides, kept shooting arrows and throwing stones. The mounts outside the square either ran away in horror or were shot dead on the spot. Everyone in Li Bida held high shields, protected the Governor of Sardinia, and retreated to the broken wall.
At the gate of the city, Elders Marcelia and the priests who were originally planning to enter the city with Li Bida were in chaos when they saw such a change. Bagules, who first outside the city, shouted, jumped up, mobilized the soldiers around him, and rushed in with their armor and equipment bare neck and carried a sword. These people were blocked by the crowded and chaotic crowd at the city wall. Bagules raised his sword and slashed randomly, and together with the soldiers, they killed all those who stood in front of him, no matter how noble he was before.
At this time, the suicides mobilized by Gatu suddenly emerged from other broken wall gaps. They killed many unsuspecting soldiers under Li Bida and began to ignite and burn siege equipment such as shelters, shields and chariots. The besieged troops who came to their senses also began to fight with them in a hurry with crowbars and pickaxes. The drizzle was a scene of fire soaring into the sky and fighting.
Finally, at the gap in the broken wall, two groups of people and horses flocked together in a mess. Although the soldiers in the city were all unkempt due to malnutrition, their eyes were burning with burning phosphorus fire, like ghosts and monsters, they only shouted "Kill Li Bida" there, and pounced on him with sacrificing their lives.
"Take a ladder, take a ladder!" Alp shouted, and then several strong Medegi people half-squatted and stacked together. Libida climbed up with his hands and feet, and then jumped out of the line of the city wall. Several Lusitanian warriors came over with a horse. Libida flew onto the horse, and then pointed at the half-naked Bagules, "Take your people, guard here!" Then he galloped towards the camp.
"Mobilize the troops on the second line, put on their gear, and force the enemy back. They are all half-starved wandering souls!" Li Bida shouted and issued an order.
The entire blockade camp was filled with slogans and whistles of "armed and fought". The infantrymen who were on standby in the rear, holding shields and bows and arrows, rushed directly into the tower of "Emilius Behemoth". Soon the city side's desperate attempt went bankrupt. The deadly iron rain shot out of the tower of the giant beast made their corpses pile up like mountains. The besieged troops quickly blocked the gap again, stepping on the corpses and blood stains everywhere.
The trapped beasts still fought, but they still caused sudden and huge losses to Li Bida's army. His soldiers were killed, and all the sheds were burned down. The guard captain Alp was seriously injured. The chief centurion of the Sixth Legion, who received the order to defend the death, was directly attacked by the opponent in the gap. Six javelins were buried in his body and died. The arrows and javelins on his body were as dense as crops, and blood flowed over the ditches under the city.
In the camp, Li Bida angrily pulled off his cloak and roared it on the clothes hanger. "Why do some idiots have to play some tricks to destroy themselves faster and more thoroughly? Don't they cherish their lives? Then I will fulfill everyone's wish..."
"I think this matter has nothing to do with the Marcelian Presbyterian Church, and it may have been privately urged by Katu." Sabo next to him could still remain calm and defend himself.
