After the Ipos Palace was declared to fall, Ptolemy Thirteen, who had lost his crown and seal, fled from Alexander City in a hurry under the protection of the border guards and a few palace servants. He originally attempted to escape to the Idawui Fortress, but news and intelligence came that the Holmahi legion there had been officially reversed, so the Pharaoh could only panic, rushed out of the city gate, and headed towards the Nile River.

Unfortunately, Ptolemy Thirteen's army encountered two legions that had just landed and rushed towards Alexander, namely the Thirty-Three and Thirty-Fourth Legion, namely the "Bendu Legion" and the "Black Navy Legion". Ptolemy Thirteen hurriedly ordered the army to attack the two legions.

But Adianna's subordinates were not ordinary people. They were very familiar with the tactics of Romanization and immediately began to dig trenches along the river and sand and establish fortifications. When the Egyptian army rushed up, the commanders of these legions asked the soldiers to hide behind the wooden fences and observe the dynamics of the other party. They found that Ptolemy Thirteen's subordinates were completely unprepared when approaching the position. They immediately sent light troops with a large number of javeliners (the Black Sea area is rich in such elite light infantry) to rush out, and quickly and violently threw javelins at the enemy. Then the cavalry team also launched attacks from all parts of the fortifications. The Egyptian mobs were killed and drowned, and they were defeated miserably.

Mothamenis, who had no choice but to be unable to break through the defense of the Bendu Legion, had to ask for advice from the centurion of the army, Ceptimius, who accompanied the army. As a result, the other party asked for another five thousand Dracmas, and then told the Egyptians sincerely: The most urgent task is to choose a dangerous place for all the troops and horses, set up camps, and resist the attacks of the Romans. They could also wait for an opportunity to rush out.

At this time, the veteran Selapion suggested that he should never listen to this foreigner again. He was very treacherous. Since the enemy already had two legions here, we had to go south immediately and detour to the border desert. Neither Thebes nor Nubia could go, so that even if the army would suffer great losses in the rapid movement, the safety of the Pharaoh could be guaranteed.

"But I still have to wait here for the palace guards to come, because the crown and seal are in his hands. Otherwise, even if I escape to remote areas, what will I rely on to command the leaders of Nom in the future?" Ptolemy Thirteen said dissatisfiedly, and Selapion became even more angry. He immediately accused the Pharaoh and said, "You are surrounded by such people, eunuchs, traitors from other races, and never listened carefully to loyal subordinates who have never listened to them carefully when they were loyal.

Suggestions. When Caesar and his lonely army had just arrived at Nokias, you couldn't even hold back for a night. He launched a reckless and irrational attack; then Diotus tricked you around, first he destroyed the entire Egyptian fleet, and now he cheated away your crown, scepter and seal. He was a spy inserted into the Romans. How stupid it was to take the fate of the entire country on this man!”

Ptolemy Thirteen immediately howled like a fighting rooster, saying that as an emperor, Selapion dared to violate the Pharaoh Shengyan on the spot. He immediately asked the eunuch to take the man down and execute him, but Selapion could not hold back. His entourage then angrily drew out his sword to protect his general, stabbing and slashing at the Pharaoh's seat, scaring Ptolemy Thirteen crawled around on the ground of the camp.

General Xiebek and Hu were still silent on the other side.

Then, Selapion took his own border guards and all retreated.

After nightfall, Xiebekhu and his tribes abandoned the Pharaoh and left.

By the next day, there were more than 10,000 people left by Ptolemy Thirteen, but most of them were court personnel rather than army. They could only find an isolated highland between the plains and rivers according to the subordinates of Ceptimius, and erected the camps well. Many of them were pampered in the palace, wearing silk clothes and playing musical instruments, and did stupid jobs out of their loyalty to the Pharaoh.

"This camp was well established. Both sides are high slopes, and there is also a gentle slope facing the swamp. Then building another fortification in front of the swamp can well curb the enemy's attack. In addition, the only way out is the small river, with the two sides very steep, and the future decisive battle will take place here." Septimius's evaluation made the pharaoh and the eunuch feel temporarily at ease.

"As long as you can win several defensive battles, you can continue to negotiate terms with Caesar to surrender." Mothamenis said to the young Pharaoh in a crying voice.

Around noon that day, Li Bida personally brought a large number of cavalry and archers, and smoke rolled along the river. "Sabor, go and quickly observe the situation of the enemy on the other side!" The cavalry commander jumped off his horse quickly, ate on the ground with the guards, and asked the young staff to complete the task.

After a simple meal, Sabo returned from a horse and said, "On the other side of the river, the enemy has a large number of cavalry and light infantry, guarding the front, trying to stop us from passing!"

"Can you get around?"

"No, because this tributary is always moving forward and pouring into the Nile River, we cannot bypass it. The enemy's camps are in good position. On the side facing the Nile River, they also set up towers and ships to intercept our army at any time."

"Then let's attack Sabo Kemus head-on. I'll be in the back, and the front line will be entrusted to you." After saying that, Li Bida leaned under an isolated tree, wrapped his cloak, and snored. He turned a deafening sound of arrows and the sound of fighting.

As a result, before he was napping for half a day, Li Bida suddenly felt a burning face. He woke up and realized that the shade on the trees was gone. The scorching sun in the Nile River in the afternoon thorned directly on his skin. Then he patted the dust on his armor and looked back and saw that the trunk of the big tree that he had originally relied on had been cut down and transported away by the soldiers running around.

"Hey, at least one for me!" Li Bida shouted to the soldiers running forward with the trunk, but no one paid attention to him. This was another order from Sabo. Then the cavalry commander stood up with a gilded baton and found that all the trees he could see were cut down in a short time. Then he saw the soldiers lined up with a cover team and clamped the cut down trees in a relatively low place on the river bank. Then the brave vanguard officer bravely stepped on them with the soldiers who were inspired by the high rewards and attacked them. More and more trunks were placed on them. Later, the soldiers covered them with willow branches and soil. After stepping on them, the cavalry also crossed.

After the close-knit field battle, the Egyptian army collapsed instantly. Li Bida's army bravely pursued, killed more than 600 enemies, seized 200 war horses, and chased them until they stopped before the enemy camp fortifications.
