"Why do I always do this? The enemies of the Republic are my personal enemies." - Cicero

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

There was an enemy flag on this hillside! This shocked all the soldiers of Pompei's army. The already sluggish morale was even worse, but the will to run was not firm, and they had already surrendered with Aphranius. Although the rest of the people were tired, suffered heavy casualties, and suffered heavy losses in weapons and supplies, they all followed the great Pompei and lived in the East for the rest of their battles.

Sometimes, why do mortals need leaders and why do they have a savior complex? Because they always subconsciously believe that individual power is extremely small, but the meaning of leader and great man is that he is like a torch, able to gather all the tiny powers together, and infect anyone who follows him with his own unique courage and beliefs, using various means such as honor, ideals and even money, to gather into indestructible power. This power is not only the leader himself, but also all those who follow him believe that he has this power. They believe that "under the inspiration of the great Pompey, the great Caesar, or any great person, we are definitely out of the realm of ordinary people. Even if we have not reached the power of gods, we can definitely be between man and God - what is commonly called a 'hero'."

So, what surprised and frightened Conbano was that the thousands of Pompei troops who were in the front seemed to be unable to even walk on the road, and they actually held the military flag in their hands and launched a charge and attacked the hillside they occupied by the sound of the military horn!

"Are these Pompei's elite battles? I have seen it in Kofinium. Since we have occupied the best defense position, there is nothing to be polite." On the hillside, surrounded by Zuo, Li Bida stood in place, looking at the Pompei vanguard rushing over the mountains below, and whispered, "Cabinet cannon, accelerate, shoot from the two wings."

Under such clear instructions, Conbano, who was standing on the front line, was even more shocked. Something was roaring from both sides, and a spear came, throwing guns and stone bullets. Before Conbano's eyes identified them, a bloody "wave" was raised in the square of Pompei soldiers. You must know that this Malaysian bandit was proud of his wonderful archery and his hawk-like eyes, "When my eyes saw you, your throat was

He was shot in an arrow, but he didn't understand. In this era, there were tactics that were only found in myths. He concentrated on using crossbows for field battles, rather than attacking the city alone, but he had such power. He watched with his own eyes the elite Pompei soldiers at the foot of the mountain silently, and before he could even scream, he lost his limbs, head and internal organs, and fell into the wet land, integrating with flesh and blood, weeds and mud.

The sound of trumpets sounded, which was the signal that the command of the mountain command ordered him to launch an attack. Without thinking too much, Conbano shouted at all the same eager horse bandits and native leather shield soldiers, "Kill six hundred Roman rulers forward and annihilate the enemy's vanguard!"

These cruel green forest horse bandits do not pay attention to formations and order. When it comes to Spanish dog-legged swords, they rushed towards the dead and injured Pompei army's vanguard position under the leadership of Conbano! The sword light flew everywhere, and the arms and intestines of the Pompei army, which were covered by the cavalry cannon, were spilled everywhere. Even if they fell to the ground, their heads would be cut off without hesitation. In addition, their fatigue for many days was inconsistent with Li Bida's army, so even if their self-esteem was unwilling to admit it, the pain of death and injury still forced them to retreat like a tide.

"Call the cavalry to attack and press Pompei's army to the foot of the mountain there." Li Bida's tone was like cast iron.

The Mathians rushed down from another hillside passage. They were in Mali, and the arrows were shot out, and the scattered Pompei soldiers were still running to the ground. Then they picked up their spears and circled around the formation of Pompei's retreat, like a shepherd grazing her sheep, driving them to the place designated by the commander and general.

About two days later, under the hillside where Li Bida's army was located, there were no living creatures left outside the bodies of more than a thousand Pompei's army. The Mathia cavalry did not pursue it in depth, because they knew in advance that the vanguard of Pompei's army was just the vanguard of Pompei's army. If the pursuit distance was too far, it would be counterattacked by the superior military and would be difficult to escape.

Therefore, the Mathia cavalry only occupied the open passage and consolidated the position with the Conbano infantry. Then Li Bida ordered: "Push the cavalry artillery forward by a ruler."

After all this was completed, all the infantry and cavalry returned to the hillside to form an array. With plenty of time, most of the simple camp behind them was completed, but at this time, the Pompei army in the brigade behind them also knew that their life had been blocked by a Caesar's silence army. If they wanted to rush out, they had to defeat their opponent and step on the opponent's corpse.

"I rushed over with the cavalry and competed with them." Syketus' whole body was "red" again, but Peletaus dissuaded him. "The soldiers were close to the brink of destruction, and there were tenacious enemies in front and behind. The Allies had completely surrendered, and the chief brigades of all legions were also captured by Caesar. The remaining people at hand were not enough for war, so we must not be reckless."

Then, the old Peletaus suggested that Syketus should not be scared by the momentum of the enemy who was blocked from the opposite side. They also came in a hurry, and the number and preparations would not be sufficient. We will set up a camp at the foot of the mountain. After we cultivate our spirits, we will select several brigades from each legion and rush over with one go.

So, Syketus finally agreed out of respect for his predecessors.

But the suffering of Pompei's army was not over. After they set up a camp, they realized the purpose of Li Bida's driving them here - only the streams in the mountain streams can be cited, and the large river was completely in the open land, locked by Li Bida's cavalry artillery and light soldiers' projection weapons.

Not only that, from the mountains to the rivers, there was a very narrow and long river sandy land, which meant that the horses could not be harvested and shepherded. So two or three thousand Pompei soldiers stayed in the camp, and Caesar's cavalry had also pursued their tails.
