Under the hillside and the wasteland, blue smoke curled up, and a broken Salmontoga cannon was quietly abandoned in front of the bare woods, and the surrounding air emitted a pungent smell.

Most of the officers and soldiers of the Eighth Legion sat on the ground, many injured, and others walked around. When picking up arrows from the enemy, Scipio was in a very bad mood. The two thousand Thracian auxiliary archers who served as the defender failed to come to meet him. Perhaps under the city of Ephesus, they surrendered to Caesar, just like the shameless Seventh Legion. In addition, the pack horse that Scipio attached most importantly, ran away almost half of it in the melee last night. He had a blue face and asked the army slaves to quickly get the rest. Then he shouted a roar in the valley, "Let Appis approach me, no, prepare the team immediately, and we will join the Sixth Legion!"

Then he looked at the mountains and streets ahead, changed his mind and lowered his voice, "Does Libidaus want the ambush of Andabukia again to repeat? Maybe he set up a cavalry ambush on the road to the camp of Aspis again. I will not be fooled by good Libida." Then Scipio instructed the Ala cavalry of the entire legion to gather and search and advance slowly, with all the infantry and baggage following behind.

Sure enough, in the valleys and the dense forests, small groups of enemy cavalry shuttled back and forth, sometimes they quickly retreated when they saw the main force of Scipio, and sometimes they boldly fought with the ala reconnaissance cavalry.

Scipio became more cautious, avoiding any shortcuts, and slowly advancing.

On a hillside somewhere outside of him, Hanske ran in sweat, and behind him were about two hundred Mathian cavalrymen. The Germanic cavalry captain simply took off his helmet, revealing his golden hair with his small bun. He galloped all the way up, where Libida and Mindaz, the prince of Parthia, stood together, and were dispatching his own cavalry to assemble.

Seeing Hanske arrive, Li Bida went straight in, "Last night cavalry attack has already made Pompei's father-in-law brave. Now you take most of the cavalry again and follow me to the north and defeat the Minander bronze shield army on the northern line."

If the time has not been calculated incorrectly, 15,000 Copper Shield Army is now heading south and encountering the 12th Legion sent by Li Bida.

After promulgating this order, Li Bida handed over the flag of King Numa to Mindaz, "Put your thousand cavalry and restrain the two enemy legions here." Mindaz's heart was shocked. The difficulty of this task was not low, but he was also a descendant of the Parthian Kingdom. Now he defected to the Roman army. If he had no experience and military merits, what would he rely on to revenge his brother in the future to seize the throne?

Thinking about it, Mindaz took the flag and said that I was going to retreat three Romans and build a camp in the prefecture to confuse these people.

Li Bida nodded, then brought the other generals and gathered all the cavalry together, and delivered a short speech on the thin snow wasteland, showing his tactical purpose, "We had been in a hurry to travel sixty Romans, rushed here from Takton, and slashed a sword on Scipio's head. He was already scared and dared not easily speed up the marching speed. This despicable general only cared about his luggage, there were hundreds of Dracer silver coins he had obtained for half his life, and he also prepared to go back to Rome City and use this money to open a small bathroom! Now, I hope that all the elite cavalry, that is, you will work hard, and then gallop for sixty or even one hundred Romans, and do not break away from their saddles and weapons, and go to Amasi.

Hirano in front of the A River Valley, go to assist our 12th Legion to completely defeat the bronze shield army of the villain Minander. I defeated him when I was in the Kingdom of Bosphorus. His tactics and soldiers all exude a pedantic smell, and they are still guarding the spear formation of the Alexander era. It only strengthened a division of 4,000 to more than 6,000, and added more spearmen. Let us storm their weaknesses, kill them all in the wilderness, and fertilize their blood throughout the wheat fields of Taktun. If we are lucky, we will also get more assistance and reinforcements from friendly forces from Libida Fort in the direction of Taktun, and set out with the belief of winning, turning ourselves and the war horses into a sword like the wind!"

"Sword like the wind!" More than 5,000 cavalrymen, including the Cappadocians, shook their spears on the horse's back, and then followed Li Bida, who was leading the horse, and the blue cloak he tied, swam towards the north.

Then it was not until the evening of that day that Scipio's Eighth Legion slowly met with Apis who was deliberately slowing down. Both commanders looked at each other speechless. Apis once again made suggestions, "General, I personally recommend not to go to Takton again now, but to the Lydia plains and go to Silesia for a while." This made Scipio hesitate, but he still couldn't make up his mind. It was just that Caesar's pursuit of the army was insufficient, and there were several legions left by the opponent on the Greek island. We were not at risk of being attacked on both sides, so we still had to insist on cooperating with Minander to capture Takton, relying on the Eukxinghai to fight Caesar.

"Then let's continue to accompany you, maybe there's hope." Apis stopped suggesting anything, but he soon realized that since he met with the other party, Scipio's marching orders were completely in a war-fire mode. One legion and one daytime, according to the requirements of Romeli in three to six. In this way, he would not reach Takton in less than two days - and now is the critical moment of every minute, but Scipio seemed to be more interested in his baggage, and the core of all tactics was to "protect the baggage."

But when the two legions advanced to less than five Romans, they discovered the camp established by Mindaz on the mountain pass. The camp was set up very cleverly, with only a part exposed on the cliff, and the rest were blocked from the peaks. Then Scipio discovered the logos and camp flags on the camp, and began to hesitate and prepared to send scout soldiers to find out the scale of the enemy's blocking team.

"Your Excellency General, if you guess correctly, it's just a suspicious enemy. Just leave a small number of cavalry to monitor it. Our main force will detour and continue to advance."

But Scipio ignored Apis' correct request. He looked at the twilight and bypassed the side roads of the mountain pass. In the increasing wind and snow, it was completely unclear. "I understand. This camp was still Li Bida's trick. He set up the camp there, which really led me to take a detour. On both sides of the road there, he must have set up an ambush. Li Bidaus, a cunning Eastern alien general, but no one told you that the same trick would not work for a Roman for the second time?"
