"We have a dilemma now, that is, to some extent, we cannot grasp Scipio's movements.---I think there is no big problem with His Excellency Caesar entering Ephesus. According to the rewards of the cruiser Macmillan fleet, Caesar has successfully broken through the blockade of waters and captured Casio and Brutu, which shows that the enemy's fighting will be very low. Scipio will not trap Ephesus. Although this man has some battlefield experience and skills, he lacks perseverance and determination. I doubt that he will most likely abandon the city, but in which direction will he escape?" In the meeting hall of the tower, the gilded baton in Li Bida's hand was hung in the air, accompanied by doubts, and could not fall.

"To some extent, we formed a siege attack with Caesar on Scipio's escape route, but on the other hand, Taktun was also under the siege of the two groups of Minand and Scipio. Moreover, if Caesar only brought four thousand people to Ephesus, even if the enemy surrendered to him, it would be difficult to form an annihilation of Scipio's legions." Adiana also looked at the sand table in front of him and analyzed carefully, "Carabis, how many legions have you brought?"

"Five legions, but four remained in Libida Fort, and I only brought the cavalry and the twelfth legion."

This sentence almost made Adiana angry. She first asked what Libida Fort. After learning that it was actually a new fortress built on the original Byzantine site, especially when Libida was clearly in front of him, he left most of the military force there to dig mud and build walls. So he said unhappily, "Minand's bronze shield army now has two divisions of 'Left Ear' and 'Right Ear', each with 6,000 troops, and 1,000 Salmatian cavalry, and two thousand bow and arrow throwers; Scipio's military strength. I think it is at least two to three legions. Then, I want to ask the respected cavalry commander of Rome. Now our forces are difficult to eliminate one of them. If Scipio advances north, what should we do if both sides join forces and squeeze Taktun?"

Li Bida also pondered. It was true that the 12th Legion now had one thousand cavalry and five thousand heavy infantry. Then he was under his own jurisdiction. The cavalry team composed of four or five thousand Mathians and Vibichinas were also under his jurisdiction. The entire Taktun had only about 3,000 mobile troops that could be drawn, so he must not be too arrogant. After pondering for a while, he called the deputy general Karenus, who was selected to assist him, to lead the 12th Legion to the north to monitor the Minander bronze shield army that might have come out of the Amasia Valley. Li Bida took the cavalry and searched south for Scipio's traces and determined the opponent's strategic goals. Sabo led a team of cavalry and rushed to Li Bida Fort and demanded the 15th Legion and the 28th Legion. Under Petterneus and Seerha, he went to Taktun to support the battles that might occur at any time.

In this way, Li Bida's subordinates were unfolded on three sides, "preventing the north, blocking the south, and spreading to the west."

But this does not mean that he will equalize the military power. "The key to this battle is the use of cavalry. According to the Queen's intelligence, whether the enemy is the Copper Shield Army or Scipio's legion, their cavalry is not large, and they are mixed together to maintain the formation and will not attack independently. I have five thousand elite cavalry, which can completely defeat the enemy's formation three or four times the enemy's formation!" When Li Bida gathered up his confidence, the armor sounded, and stood up with the baton in his hand, the surrounding generals and staff, but his or Adiana's, were slightly amazed, because in this era, the behavior of cavalry fighting alone separated from the infantry legion and cavalry fighting alone seemed to be only adopted by nomadic people like the Scythians.

But Li Bida explained it clearly below. What is the cavalry and what is its advantage? The biggest advantage of the cavalry is not that it is full of armor. In that case, it will not be able to defeat the infantry corps with more refined armor and firmer formations, especially the top elites such as the Roman legion and the Copper Shield Army. The nature of the cavalry is that it has four more horse hooves than the infantry, that is, the speed and attack range of the battlefield. It can kill in places beyond the reach of the infantry, and can detour the enemy's bulky baggage team. The execution of this task must be used together, and then mixed with the infantry will drag it down.

"So in this battle, Hanske and Dussenvier followed me, and they would promote more brave and smart guys from the cavalry to serve as cavalry captains, centurions, and ten captains. If Scipio dares to offend, I will first strike him head-on, and then turn back to help Karenus defeat the Minander Bronze Shield Army coming from the north. This is the power, speed and speed of the cavalry!"

"Binary ear pot, I will all be under your command of the 800 Cappadocian cavalry that I can call out in the city." At this time, Adiana also stood up decisively and spoke generously. Then the two of them made a brief exchange with their eyes, and the state of "Carabis and Karabia" came back.

At this moment, winter has not yet left, spring has not yet arrived, and lead clouds have enveloped Tacton until the wilderness of Ephesus. The cold wind has swept the sparse snow grains, and brown-yellow grass, brown-yellow fields, brown-yellow pools. In the blue-gray Tacton camp, a team of cavalry holding the flag of the Noma King, walked at the front of the team, behind them were the Gauls who were dripping shields and chopping swords, the Mathians who wore bows and arrows and spears, and the Kapa sent by Adianna

The Docian cavalry, their outfits were similar to Persian cavalry, with turtle-collared short armor, holding sharp spears, and the front half of the horse was covered with linen armor, which was both sharp and fast. In this way, nearly 6,000 cavalrymen formed a huge southward group, which was almost equivalent to the quota of a legion. Then Li Bida rode down from the high auspicious place beside the camp. All the cavalry saw that the commander-in-chief was moving forward rapidly, and they also trotted. The sound of horse hooves was like the sound of winter thunder, rolling through the entire field.

"General Biduita, take my Galatian Guard with another three thousand soldiers and go to reinforce the 12th Legion on the North Line." In the snow and snow, Adiana, who was standing on the terrace of the tower, watched the cavalry commander go further and further away, and instructed the Galatian Indigo Warrior next to him.

"But in this case, the garrison in Taktun will be weak."

"Don't worry about such a thing. My army is a bi-eared pottery. Compared with his victory is my glory, we will do it according to the order." There was no confusion and hesitation in Adianna's mare eyes.
