Chapter 26 Horse Raft (1)
"If the general leads an unorganized and loose force to pursue the enemy, he will give up the victory." - Emperor Morris, Eastern Rome
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
About five days later, Syketus' nightmare turned into reality, and the stone bridge was no longer owned by them. The opposite Li Bida army had completed the temporary bridgehead and erected a crossbow and a stone thrower on Gaofu.
It was obvious that the situation before the five legions was very serious. Either they would cross the Eporo and continue to run wildly on the road along the coast until they completely collapsed; or, concentrate all their troops, seize the stone bridge before Caesar's main force completely surrounded him, and regain Coleberia.
No matter which one, it seems to be just a little light in a desperate situation. There is no possibility of success in a normal world. Seyx roared, waved the battle axe in his hand, and slashed the crooked neck trees beside him wildly. Why! Why has the war started, all the war zones of the Republicans suffered one by one under Caesar's pre-designation? Originally, everyone thought that Caesar crossed the Rubicon River as a dead end to playing with fire, but now everything has been reversed, and all the enemies standing in front of him have been swallowed up by the fire one after another, but he has become more and more terrifying and powerful.
"There is only the last alternative way out, that is, to cross the canyon slope in front of me. I remember that there is a place where Asase can build a floating bridge outside of Rome at about twenty to thirty. Asase can be built as long as we get there, we can still go back." When Syketus returned to the camp, the crowd of soldiers groaned all over the ground. Peletaus proposed a solution. He comforted everyone and said that it was far from the desperate situation, because he had already notified the soldiers and soldiers in Taraco to go to that place to start their work.
Syketus was very excited at the time and said that I would take the front and go there tonight. But Avranius dissuaded that our camp passage was blocked by Caesar's cavalry and infantry, and he could not go out to collect grass and draw water. The soldiers were tired and hungry. Only after resting in the next day, they would have a chance of winning, and then they would have to wait and rush out to the end. Otherwise, they would have a complete collapse on the way to set off tonight.
"Then we agreed that in the future, we would discard all the seriously injured and pack horses, and there would be large supplies and military rations. Now these things will only drag down the progress, and all the people who can fight will bring dry food for a day and a night, as well as necessary weapons. The key to success or failure is within one day. Either find the way out for success or..." Peletaus said in a tragic tone, helpless, and obviously made the worst plan.
"It's okay, if you are determined to fight, you will succeed!" Seyxtus seemed to never be passive and indifferent. In addition, he instructed "Select all the chief brigades of the five legions, and when the main force was withdrawn, they would be ambushed in the valleys on both sides of the camp. Maybe we could successfully run a successful ambush on Caesar, at least to prevent them from catching up with us so easily."
The two commanders thought for a while, and now they could only think about it. At this time, on a dark and rainy night outside, lightning suddenly fell together, and purple "grizzles" kept falling into the mountains and the waters of the Taotao River. The water of the Eporo River outside surged like a thousand running bisons, and many soldiers were forced to hide to a high place.
Aphranius looked at the terrible weather with mixed grief, "I hope our work will go well, and Caesar would think that such a harsh climate would slow down for the time being.
"I know that most of you warriors have experienced extremely difficult and fierce battles in the first five days. Among them, the chief brigade of the 10th legion fought four times in a row yesterday. But what I want to say is that Pompei's army is about to collapse. This is the achievement of our perseverance and courage. Look, the elite of the Republic who have achieved great glory in the wars between the East and Spain will be defeated by us in such a miserable way. I may feel sorry, but I am even more grateful that these five legions will lose their honor from then on, and we will rise and leave their reputation in history. So, what else can save Pompei's army now? Let's stand on the side of the enemy. Yes, I can only think of the two words "stop bets". According to reliable news, it is me
The chief deputy generals and subordinates risked their risk to take a small boat to take a boat. Colliberia has been successfully captured by his two legions, so we are still the last step away from being completely surrounded by the enemy and smashed their "stopping" completely with horses' hooves and swords." After saying that, Caesar rushed to the bullfighting, picked up the wine glass in his hand, and shouted at the two cavalry generals, Vicintoli and Dussenvier, "Tomorrow it depends on you. I will give you all the 4,000 cavalry who can still fight. As for the infantry, I believe that my subordinates, who are really unable to fight because of overdrawn or injured, can stay in the battalion, and other people who can walk, including strong military slaves, will be suppressed! Because I can think of the words to describe our side now, there is only "stopping"!"
"Take a fight! Bless the River God!" All the generals and centurions in the camp shouted angrily.
In the lightning, the cavalry under Kangbano's subordinates shone with swords, and people were constantly being cut into barbs while running, falling down shrillly. In the rolling stream, there were several temporarily erecting unfinished piers. "Li Bida is so amazing. He can guess that there is still an enemy who has no resistance here. Build a house here. Haha, kill me, don't leave any one. Damn-Saxosa, my blindfold leaks, damn, I have to take a breath." Kangbano, who was galloping back and forth on the horse, shouted and took off his blindfold and kept throwing water on the ground.
"I have to remind you that what you see here can be returned to your commander as soon as possible." Saxosa rode a donkey and reminded the Malaysian bandit that he was also the role of Li Bida who specifically appointed him to accompany Conbano, a similar supervisory role.
When several cavalrymen rushed into Colliberia, Li Bida heard this information and released the document being reviewed and said to everyone, "The Twenty-Seventh Legion will immediately follow me and the cavalry to the Conbano. After the Sixth Legion arrived one after another, it was still led by Angandinus to guard the ferry city, strictly prevent the attack of Pompei's army, and then wait for the orders I assigned."
