Chapter 14 Admonition (2)

Caesar's reprimand was simply magical. In the camp where Li Bida had newly built, the Ninth Legion and the Eleventh Legion were obedient. "For labor" was the specific task given to them by Li Bida. To put it bluntly, it was to build the fortifications of the siege.

However, this does not mean that Li Bida was punishing them. In fact, from the next day, the mule and horse team pulled a cart of cheese, flour, fat and wine into the camp happily. Li Bida intentionally opened the main and back doors of the camp at the same time, so that the grand supply team would be displayed to the defenders of Kokura City without any concealment, and divided the soldiers into two groups, one group was responsible for alerting the blockade line, and the other group made fire in the camp to eat. They beat the barbecue forks with a loud sound, smelling the aroma of barbecue that flowed oil on the wooden rack, accompanied by the wheat bread soaked with hot bean soup, and having a lively conversation while eating. Of course, the two coolies also received the same treatment and enjoyment.

So every night, many enemy soldiers who could not bear the pain of water shortage quietly climbed down from the wall and threw themselves to the camp of Libida. I believe that the situation in the east and south was roughly similar. "The enemy can no longer hold on." This has become a consensus among the whole Caesar's entire army, but Caesar was still not careless. He was like a gambler when his strength was at a disadvantage, but he was very cautious when he had absolute advantage. He issued an order to advance the blockade line: that is, first push the original camp forward, push two Stadias forward, and use his own army's ejector to destroy the enemy's fortification wall; then push the blockade line under the enemy's city wall for the second time, carry out a forcibly assault, occupying the enemy's towers and camps. Finally, the entire city was captured.

After nightfall, Rabinus slowly walked out of his camp. The military slave next to him had already taken off the golden eagle and garland on the top to keep it. Then Rabinus took off the ivy hanging on the door of the tent with his own hands. "This is the decoration that was originally planned to celebrate the victory, but unfortunately it is useless now." Looking back, it turned out to be Pompey's youngest son Syketus, and behind him was his elder brother Rous, and in the distance were ordinary soldiers carrying heavy guys to the dock dock.

"Yes, I failed everyone's expectations. In the end, Caesar was completely besieged here. Without qualified soldiers, the naval fleet was useless in this state, and the city defense was exposed to the enemy's range." Rabinus sentimentally placed the ivy on the ground. "I was too arrogant, too confident and arrogant, and now I failed, that's it. So I am willing to lead most of the soldiers to hold on here until the fall of Cocula."

"This is not good. I think you can take the ivy. One day, I will use it - my father's highest order comes, and all the generals take the First Macedonian Legion. Go to the deck and go to Malta to Utica, where you are ready to win." Syketus said, and then stretched out his hand to Rabinus. "I know you must be confused in my father's camp, so maybe you are too concerned about the outcome of a certain battle. You hate people like Scipio and Gebinus, but I think they don't like you either, but my brother and I think the hope of defeating Caesar is still placed on talents like you, so go with us and don't sacrifice your life in this Jedi."

"Where are the rest of the legions?" Rabinus asked calmly.

The little Thor shrugged his shoulders, which was equivalent to answering that the fleet's carrying capacity was limited and he could only transport around 5,000 people to Afiriga.

"I think if the deck could be slightly modified, I could still take another legion away. This is cost-effective in numerical calculations, even if it is overturned by adverse weather." Rabinus was unwilling to ask the other three legions to sit here and wait for death, or to defect to Caesar.

Rous explained, "Because we have to go to another small island halfway through, where the families and assets of the elders who followed my father, we have to pick them up together. They don't like to stay with dirty ordinary soldiers. I hope you can understand. Although I also think that the value of these people is not as good as that of the low-ranking centurion on the battlefield, my father's career cannot be separated from these people."

Rabinus said that he could never understand such behavior, but he was dependent on others and had no right to point fingers at Pompei's actions. Fortunately, Pompei's two sons respected him very much, otherwise, with the previous defeat in Cokura City, people like Gabinus would definitely impeach him until death.

Three days later, Rabinus and his group fled Cokula by boat and brought only one legion. The other three legions, including many centurions and civil guards who were unwilling to leave their comrades, all silently set up their teams in their respective markets. "Now our generals have left, we don't think we have any regrets about the honor of the legion, but unfortunately, in the eyes of the generals, we have become a burden that must be abandoned. I didn't expect that so many years of service would end in such a shameful way. Now everyone should save themselves in a special way--

Maintain a safe order, do not lose dignity in front of the enemy, organize the list of personnel and supplies, and wait for Caesar to deal with us after entering the city." A military guardian from Pompei's side who was elected stood on the forum and said sadly to the soldiers of the other three legions. Many of the officers and soldiers below cried bitterly, especially those from the Panshen Legion (Second Legion). They could not understand that the Supreme Commander took away the First Legion at the last moment, without considering them at all. Didn't they always be the "Temini" with the First Legion?

But at this time, Caesar's army had already entered the city, and the first one to enter was Anthony's troops on the southern line. Anthony sent a representative to ask the enemy in front of him to hand over the camp and the booklet. When the other party did as usual, Anthony's two legions immediately moved in to accept the camp and city defense, and treated the surrendered prisoners well and did not search their luggage.

About half a moment later, the two teams of Caesar and Libida also entered Cocula and sent drinking water to the abandoned Pompei army soldiers. Although Caesar, who was on horseback, was amiable, his centurion encouraged the surrender, and asked them to cheer "Inperato" as a citizen and threatened to "Scream, if you are not grateful, then the dictator will no longer recognize your retirement salary and rationed land. I said, guys, there is only one bald man who can protect the rights of the losers in the civil war, and stop holding on to the pedantic who is inappropriate!"
