Chapter 12 Reserves (1)

"An emperor in need will rush to the rich like a torrent to bite." - Mark Linnus, a historian of the Roman Empire,

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

"The defense in the north seems to be weaker." Laugirus blurted out.

"Why, I want number, deployment, all the details!" Rabinus pursued him relentlessly.

The other party had no choice but to continue to answer, "Then are the Ninth Legion and the Eleventh Legion. Although Caesar's nephew Diccias served as the commander, the Ninth Legion was actually just formed, and he had thought that the rebellion had been 'twelve'; in addition, the Eleventh Legion had mediocre combat power and lost nearly half of the war in the Illyria, and it was never replenished." After saying this in one breath, Raugirus felt sweat on his head.

Rabinus walked to the sand table map, looked at him, and then looked at the sand table. The meaning was very straightforward. Raggios slowly stepped forward and pointed to the position above with some trembling trembling. "Here, here, and here..." Most of his words used vague pronouns, but the shrewd Rabinus quickly gave him the defense map of two legions to Riran in his chest, saying- "There is a swamp in front, each camp has a wooden guard, and the back is a gentle sandy land by the sea."

With this, Rabinus sat down with a smile and thanked the brothers repeatedly, "When your Excellency Pompei returns to Rome, your tribe is still an allies of the Republic, your father is still a king, and you two are still members of the Senate." Then he waved his hand and signaled that the brothers would go out, then called Rilias, Machius and other subordinates, and asked in a deep voice, "Is Scipio's battle on Mount Andabukiah true?"

"It is true. It is said that nearly one-quarter of the troops were killed and injured, and nearly half of the luggage and supplies were lost. There is also reliable news," Machius said carefully. Of course, he understood that these words could only be communicated internally. After all, Scipio was Pompei's father-in-law. If his "glorious deeds" were spread, it would not be a good thing for the entire camp.

"Okay, let's analyze. Since Scipio Buffet surrendered, Li Bida still gave up the opportunity to encircle and annihilate the three opponent's legions. I think there is only one reason, that is, Li Bida has more urgent matters to deal with, that is, to reinforce Caesar. Just like in the gambling game, when the key wins and losses, gamblers often sacrifice small chips to lure the opponent into all their assets. For Caesar and Li Bida, they all keenly recognize that Cocura is fate.

Land. "Then, Rabinus shouted and covered his mouth, obviously extremely excited. "You guys, in fact, the same is true for us. The reason why I gave up the confrontation was to deceive Caesar to siege the city. Although there were some setbacks in the previous battle, I thought there was no problem in defeating Caesar. His support could not last for a few days and was dragged by us. As long as he collapsed, he would definitely be the ending of being killed and captured by our army."

"Then how can we open up the situation in the north? I believe that as long as the two Gaul cubs say exactly what they said, they can successfully defeat Caesar's Ninth and Eleventh Legions, Caesar's other besieged teams will inevitably be destroyed one after another." Rileyas said confidently.

"Don't worry about this. My trump card is the Third Legion. Originally, I assigned the 3rd Legion to Ettoria. Now the 5th Legion is back to Cocula, but the Third Legion is the backhand. Caesar always thought that I would use this Legion for landing wars against Olicombe. However, with the transportation ability of the Lipo fleet, I can-" After saying that, Rabinus pointed his finger at the sand table, the position behind the nine and eleventh Legion, which is what I just said, the narrow and long sand land. "Here, it is easy to use the fleet to send a legion behind the enemy. Then General Legion, you lead one and two legions to attack the swamp in front, and the landing third legions attacked behind them. Time must be perfect!"

"Leave it all to me. Now I will give the order to Lipo, Secrettus and others!" Rilias said with confidence and waved his fists immediately.

Then, Machius warned Rabinus carefully, "His Excellency, since Scipio failed, you must also consider the position of the three legions of Libida. Has he really been led away by our fleet and went to the northern harbour?"

Rabinus thought about it and said that this was naturally in my consideration. Li Bida was the most important person in the entire battle situation. Maybe other characters in Pompeii's camp did not think so, but I think he was treated as a person who was more dangerous than Caesar. Hearing this, Machius, who had been cheated by that person, felt sad and shed tears of sighing and nodded in agreement.

So Rabinus wrote a letter to Li Bida and handed it to someone who could accept both sides of the war to deliver it. The content of the letter was very simple: I heard that you captured Prince Sarada of Thrace, and I had Anthony's younger brother Gaius in my hand. I hope to discuss with you in writing about the matter of exchanging hostages. Of course, I don't think this letter will cause you any trouble. I hope you can understand my impulse during the previous discussion, so I must hand this letter to Caesar first, and then to Caesar to you.

The letter was held by Machius, who waved his arms in the confrontation zone between the two armies and explained their purpose, and handed it to Caesar. After reading it, Caesar smiled and said that I would not interfere with such a thing. It was between Rabinus and Libida. Then he winked at a young aide around him, and then invited Machius to stay and visit, but the other party refused, saying that since Caesar agreed to the exchange, I must send the letter to General Libida.

Caesar said regretfully that he could only invite you at the banquet celebrating victory, and then he personally took a horse to see Machius farewell.

Machius was a little surprised because Caesar was walking with him, and walked from this side of the camp to the other side of the main entrance. In other words, this was to leave the military secrets in the camp, whether it was the barrier transformation, the front layout, or the situation of the soldiers, to see them at a glance, not to mention that he was the engineering director and an expert. This subconscious habit made him look at it a few more times and delayed a little more time.

In the wilderness outside Gimmons, Sabo rode his horse, gritted his teeth, and galloped desperately. He was so tired that he almost fainted, but he was still persisting. General Libidaus's camp still had thirty Romans. If you work harder, you must report this news to him before Machius arrives!
