The chief brigade of the Cyrene Legion attacked again, and they still retained the Macedonian combat habits. The charge was a "surge" tactic, that is, the shields were next to each other and arranged in multiple rows. With discipline, courage and formations were not chaotic, like a violent porcupine, tearing the formations that penetrated the enemy. There has always been only one way to deal with this porcupine charge, that is, to introduce the porcupine into rugged and complex terrain, or too empty terrain, and use elite scattered soldiers from all directions, and throwing weapons from all directions to damage the square formation with dense damage until the opponent cannot maintain it - and the front-line siege team of Rilias gathered in Saro

The only plain in the east of the city, and this plain was divided into two pieces by the Nadia River, lacking room for maneuvering, so the barbarian soldiers on its left wing could not resist the porcupine charge, and retreated toward the Nadia River behind them. Then the Mathian cavalry rushed to the two siege towers, one in front and one in the back, throwing torches and igniting it. In this way, the siege tower in the middle and the Pompey soldiers who were guarding it were sandwiched in the middle. The Mathians surrounded it, and the bows and arrows intersected like raindrops. Many people were shot dead and injured, and many people jumped down from the burning siege platform with flames screams.

At this moment, in front of the Nadia River, the barbarian soldiers on Pompei's side were frightened by the surging rivers and the scolding of officer Pompei. They carried weapons and turned to resist, directly colliding with the front line of the Cyrani chief brigade. Then when the barbarians and Macedonian skills fought head-on, the difference in skills and tactics was instantly reflected. In front of the shield wall and the spear like reeds, the barbarian soldiers were stabbed in rows like crops, so that Cretas asked the soldiers to work hard to maintain the formation when stepping on the corpses. In less than half a day, all of Lelias' left wing was defeated. Many barbarian soldiers were naked, threw down their weapons and armor, and were squeezed into the Nadia River to drown. Five siege towers were burned and pushed down, and a large number of people were killed.

At dusk, Machius and Rilias ran backwards and fled nearly ten Romans before stopping the guards. They began to gather the defeated soldiers, and finally found that the barbarians were killed almost to the point where they were killed, and all the siege equipment was also lost.

"Where is my first legion!" Rilias shouted hysterically in the new camp.

If the First Legion could serve as a new force and arrive at the battlefield in time, Rilias would still be confident that he could turn defeat into victory and stop Li Bida from striking assault. "Their city wall has been dug by his own people, so the First Legion can come tomorrow, and even siege equipment will be avoided." Rilias kept saying. But the subsequent news disappointed Rilias:

It turned out that the First Legion, who came midway, suddenly received a command from the commander-in-chief of the land, no longer went to Sarona, but returned to Delphi, gathered with other legions, prepared for winter camps, and competed with Caesar in the coming year. In addition, Gaesar also urgently ordered Rilias to give up attacking Sarona, because Epirus' land was occupied by Caesar, and you must come back now, because it is meaningless to attack northward. Even King Thrace's reinforcements also detoured from the sea in Pera.

Therefore, although he roared and unwilling to accept it, Rilias could only rectify the defeated troops, then burned the camp and retreated towards Delphi. Sarona, no, the entire Illyria province, was turned into danger under the fighting of Li Bida.

Then, Li Bida sent his subordinates to use the "thunderstorm" ejector seized from Machius to fire cork rockets in the array, burning almost half of the Librna boats on the besieged city. The rest of them were scrambling to row and escape. Many ships were overloaded (their ships were narrow and long and light) and those who struggled to get ashore were either killed or captured or sold to Sarona as slaves. The siege of Sarona was completely lifted.

Next, it's time for him to punish Olicombe City, which has surrendered and rebelled again!

From the liberated slaves, Li Bida used military pay to persuade most of them to join the army. According to the advice of Faubinas, at the junction of Illyria and the Thracian Mountains, he recruited a thousand top scattered soldiers who were most proficient in mountain warfare by giving away three hundred tarantes gifts and a hundred good horses: the Peonnis who lived in the Chinnonia area, and were also tribes called "Agrien" by Alexander the Great. These tribes wore light armor made of linen and leather, held Greek daggers, each carrying a catapult rope, and took seven small stone balls, which were on flat ground in the mountain valley. So Li Bida formed them with the liberated slaves and formed a new legion called "Cyclops". Together, he pieced together eight thousand people and began to attack Olikum to the south.

Just so happened that this was Caesar's order: to attack north and south with my army, recapture Olicombe, open up the channels between the two fronts, and prepare for the decisive battle with Gabinus.

In the south, the 12th Legion was the one who cooperated with Li Bida's siege. Now Caesar's deputy general Karenus, and Tagus is still the chief centurion. Facing the siege, the Olicombes were extremely frightened, because Pompey's main force had long left, and the number of people they could mobilize in their city was limited, so they could only send a letter of help to Gabinus and Bibruce at the same time.

After receiving the letter, Gabinus was hesitating, and a new face walked into the mansion, "I am Rabinus, Caesar's former chief vice general, Gneus Pompeii, and you, to jointly command the entire Greek land army. In addition, because this time I was fighting Caesar, I personally feel that you should consider my suggestions more, and I am the one who is most familiar with him here."

As a result, Gabinus placed the documents on the table, looked at Rabinus with strange disdainful eyes, and then did not give the other party the etiquette he deserved, but whispered to the staff around him, "I really don't know what Pompei thought, joint command, he can think of it?"

The whole scene became silent, and Rabinus also smelled a despise atmosphere, but he still insisted on his strategy: "I think two legions must be selected to reinforce Olicombe."
