Chapter 3 Thunderstorm Flame (Part 2)

The brave Saronans were unwilling to fail. They mobilized more citizens and slaves to repair the burned walls and gaps. However, Machius commanded four "Samontogas" and accurately shot the cork with flames into the gap. The bloody corpses of the dead were piled up there, and the stinking smell was stinking...

"Let the Latin Mountain position attack." Li Bida, who was watching the battle on the tower, ordered the flag-holding officer beside him, braved the flying arrows and stones.

"But this will expose our main position too early." Faubinas, the commander of the legion next to him, was worried, because Li Bida had made accurate surveys in advance and made it clear that this hill was the key to the raid of the Lelias army, and the essence of the Sixteenth Legion: the chief brigade, three cavalry cannons, and all the Mathian cavalry.

If you attack too early, it will be not so easy to achieve the shocking effect on Rilias.

But on the city wall, the municipal officials of Sarona and many elders and nobles were striving to encourage the citizens to cooperate in defense. Li Bida would never say words that made them feel heartbroken, so he immediately rejected Faubinas' suggestion, "Protecting Sarona is to protect ourselves, and it is also the cause of protecting His Excellency Caesar - first let your legion chief brigade attack and attract the attention of the enemy, and then the Mathia cavalry ambushed on the back of the mountain to attack the siege equipment." Under his instructions, the flag-holders stood on the tower, raised three legion flags in succession, and played a set of flag words.

"What, you actually asked us to attack now?" Kreitas said in a complaining tone, but Hanske, who commanded the Mathian cavalry next to him, said nothing. Everything was only the will of the commander, and he immediately ran to mobilize his subordinates. After complaining for a few words, Kreitas also ordered the flag officer and the trumpeter to play the trumpet of the attack. Then the chief brigade of the "Cyrani" legion lined up in a dense column and stood up from the hidden place on the mountain, with the shield followed by the shield, the spear leaned against the spear, and the feather ornaments next to the feather ornaments. He bravely charged towards the junction between the Machius position and the subsequent Pompei army brigade.

The raid scared Rileyas, who shouted and cursed the two careless centurions, causing his troops to fall into such a dangerous situation. At this time, the cups and stones that the Saronans shot from the city gate tower became more fierce, and many volunteers formed by young and middle-aged men also rushed out with weapons. When Rileyas's main army was attacked and retreated in horror, Hanske, who was skilled in the timing of the cavalry attack, instantly led the Mathians to form a storm-forming formation and unstoppable breakthrough into the isolated front line where Machius was.

The neighboring Balearic barbarians came to reinforce, most of them wore Thrace helmets, holding a counter blade machete, barely erected in melee combat, which made the young volunteers in Sarona dare not stop them at all, but the "light pig charge" Mathias were not afraid of them at all. They were galloping, shooting arrows in the open space where the Balearics were. At this moment, the unprotected Balearics could not block the damage caused to them by the powerful hook arrow clusters. Many people were penetrated with their hands, feet and abdomen, and their intestines and flesh were flowing everywhere. Many people were shot into porcupine hedgehogs. Even sitting on the ground could not bear the tearing pain of the wounds, and could only turn around and lose.

The Mathia cavalry successfully destroyed three "Samontoga" and dragged one back with horses. In addition, they also had a huge victory, which was to capture Pompei's engineering director, His Excellency Machius, for the third time.

At night, in the acropolis of Sarona, Libida met Machius. He first asked about the number of Pompei troops and subordinates of the besieged Pompei army. Machius also said, "In two days, General Lelias' first legion will also go north. They use Librner and Olicomb's boat team to strengthen the blockade and siege on the coast of the city." So he did not feel discouraged as a prisoner, but instead tried his best to persuade Libida to lead the army to surrender. "Because now in the camp of the Republican Party, your activity and ability have been clearly defined. As long as you can counterattack, Caesar will be completely finished, although he will be finished sooner or later, and you will be the governor of the province designated by General Pompei - it is not as simple as a second-class province like Sardinia, and you will not stop at the establishment of the official rank."

"Can Pompei accuse me of being the cavalry commander?" Li Bida immediately said astonishingly.

Now Machius was speechless. He did not expect that this foreign naturalized citizen had such a great ambition to be a vice dictator. You must know that even Pompei himself was satisfied with Dick Thito's position for six months.

"If I was not wrong, according to the customary tradition of high-ranking officials from Pompei, who would be quarrel with each other, if he returned to Rome to take over the power, Marcelas, Gabinus, Relias or Scipio, and was overwhelmed in fighting for the position of the cavalry commander, how could he get my turn? So you should give up lobbying - Little Gatu and Dumigos are dead, and Pompei is no longer qualified to call himself a Republican Party, he is just transforming

Just a warlord with an unjust reputation, there is no difference from Caesar." Li Bida answered Machius seriously and said, "You can serve our army. I like your excellent equipment manufacturing technology. If I remember correctly, you are a talented person who is a technician from Athens. I now have those who are proficient in civil engineering and those who are proficient in ship construction, but not like you. How about it? I am willing to pay you a 150,000-year quit."

Well, now he has been lobbying by the other party. It seems that Libidaus has been paying attention to him for a long time. Machius is even a little warm in his heart, but he still insists that he is thankful to Libida for his love, but he is also Pompei's "Crien" and cannot do anything to rebel against his master.

"Okay, then I will release you for the third time. Please bring Caesar's handwritten letter. In fact, the content is the same as that of Kofinium. They ask the two to negotiate and disband the army at the same time." Li Bida politely handed the letter to Machius, and then instructed his guard to return to the man who returned to the camp of Rilias.

Then, Faubinas sighed and said to Li Bida that the city's defense may become more difficult now. If Rilias really built a tower to siege the siege, the food would not last long, and a strange strategy would have to be used.
