When a large amount of forage was sent back to the camp, the rest of the letters sent by Li Bida had already flown across the entire Libyan coast.

Before Sabo and his friends opened their luggage and confirmed Pompei's plundering of the province, the cavalry commander secretly estimated that there were Pompei's garrisons everywhere on the coast, and Zeta had a regular army commanded by Rabinus. It is said that there were two auxiliary corpses, bringing nearly 10,000 Mauritanian cavalry sent by King Juba. So it would be difficult to support the vast pastures with the barren terrain around Zeta, and wheat fields were for so many soldiers and war horses to eat, not to mention that he had to pay heavy military salaries to his own soldiers and allied friendly forces. Now, in Pompei's hands, only Afilica and western Libya remained, and the territories of the army could only rely on scraping the ground.

Therefore, Li Bida, who seized this point, began to use the psychological tactic of not being a bloody man. The letters sent to Leptis were just a trick. His killer move was letters sent to the entire Libyan coast and nine towns at the same time.

It is said to be "at the same time", but in order to perfect the tactics, the cavalry commander carefully referred to the map and asked the token officer to send it out one by one according to the time difference according to the distance of each city: if it is far away, set out early; on the contrary, if it is close, set out late.

There is only one purpose, or for all letters to truly appear "at the same time" in the Presbyterian Church in all towns.

In the letter, Li Bida listed the crimes committed by the Pompei party members and the tax-bearing knights against the other towns, and said that the Pompei party members are now at the end of their journey. This time he came, he brought a total of ten legions and ten thousand elite cavalry to liberate the entire Africa and Libya. Although these towns are strictly suspected of "assisting the rebellion", as the chief cavalry officer, I have asked the Roman dictator, His Excellency Caesar, to forgive everyone's past mistakes and to exempt you from the shackles and burdens that are pressed on you, as long as you can stand on the side that truly represents the Republic in a timely manner.

Next, Li Bida made detailed requirements that all municipalities must follow:

Each town immediately handed over thirty noble hostages to the camp of the cavalry commander;

The requirement for the municipality to provide military salaries is exempted, so long as the food and fodder that Pompey had previously asked them to store was handed over;

All the troops of the cavalry commander landed and docked. All towns have the responsibility to provide camping accommodation and rescue ships that were stranded in the dead. Violators will cause the fate of the town to face the fate of Ziping;

From today, all municipalities shall not provide any material and personnel assistance to the Pompei party members, and shall have an organization of self-defense forces to protect themselves. If any Pompei party members are stranded in the city, they must be executed or expelled;

The municipality has the obligation to provide any war information to the cavalry commander's army and to the enemy's movements, and the cavalry commander also has the obligation to protect the municipality from Pompei's infringement.

The Presbyterian Church in Ruspina, who received the letter, immediately held a tense secret meeting. In the end, it was still impossible to decide, so he sent envoys to rush to the next town. However, the information that all towns could master was no different from that of Ruspina - everyone could not know how many people the cavalry commander Libidaus brought, nor did they know how the current situation of the battlefield was compared.

In a panic, news about Hadrumom City quickly came: two thousand Mauritanian cavalry were completely defeated and expelled by Li Bida's army, and the people's fat and oath they had plundered were returned to the hands of the citizens, and Hadrumom had sworn to serve Caesar's side. This effect finally had a final say. Nine towns, including Tapsus, the largest free city on the coast, decided at the same time to collectively leave Pompei's side and turn to Caesar's side.

Subsequently, Li Bida's lost fleet landed everywhere and received warm welcome and hospitality. The soldiers began to gather at the cavalry commander's camp without any harassment, and received funding from various municipalities in terms of food, pack horses and weapons. Gradually, the three legions in Li Bida's hands began to become complete again. They were preparing to form an attacking and defense front in the municipalities that opened up their military power along the coast.

On the other hand, after learning that the enemy has landed, Rabinus held a mobilization meeting to fight in Zeta City! He declared to all the legion soldiers and alien cavalry: "This time we have to have all the determination and perseverance. Someone asked me why I had to spend so much money and hire so many light-fitting cavalry. I can answer this question, that is, these Mauritanians and Numidians were the most relied cavalry in the Republic for a long time. They were especially suitable for the terrain of Afriga and Libya to fight. Even if they were not prepared enough, they could harass the enemy and make them tired. In short, I was going to summon thousands of allies and rank at the forefront of the elite legion, so that Li Bida would be exhausted just by killing these people. Then my elite main force rushed forward and told the opponent to turn victory into defeat!"

As a result, at the moment when the morale of the entire army was soaring, several cavalrymen came and told Rabinus that all the cities along the coast would be rebelled except for the Leptis whom Condisius was defending!

Rabinus's eyes turned dark and almost fell from the podium. Then he asked the scout where Li Bida's camp was and how much military force was now.

After the scout replied to the position, he said that Li Bida's current army was still scattered and rushed to the road. He now only had about five thousand infantry, plus less than one thousand cavalry. The legion's emblem was a silver eagle flag.

"That is his newly recruited sixth legion. Li Bida is always by his side, so we must attack. I personally lead the team, General Rilias follows me as the deputy, and Ignagius leads the cavalry - General Urkus, who is the staying place of Zeta. We must take advantage of the opportunity when Li Bida's other legion has not yet arrived, drive him into the sea and cut off his head!" Rabinus made a quick decision.

Rabinus said that he divided all his troops into two fronts and back teams. He and Rilias personally led the front team, about 3,000 alien cavalry, the chief brigade of the first legion, and two thousand javelins and archers as attacking forwards; while Ignagius commanded 1,800 selected Juba King cavalry, took out four battle elephants, that is, the rest of the first legion, and served as the guard reserve. Rabinus asked him to join the battle after getting the signal.
