On this side, Scipio was still in high spirits. He shouted, "I have been looking forward to this day for a long time to fight side by side with the animal army to defeat the enemy. I had made sufficient preparations before and carefully read the detailed manual written by the boss of the Colosseum. It mentioned that the elephant is the most invincible beast on land, but also the weakest. It is afraid of fire and the smallest things, so the enemy uses trumpets and throwing stones to deal with it. It is really damn and unforgivable. So now, what we need to do is to prevent these actions of the enemy from causing any harm to my elephant herd."

Then, Scipio suddenly shed tears, and he gave instructions to the command, so thirty battle elephants lined up in two rows. The elephant master used sticks to sit cross-legged on their backs, driving them to run towards the soldiers on one side. Then a whistle sounded, and the soldiers picked up many grape-sized stones, pressed them on the catapult rope, and smashed them hard at the elephant like rain. The elephant group whistled in fear.

But when Scipio heard the elephant's cry, he cried even more and more. In the end, he made up his mind and gave the next instruction.

On the other side of the elephant group, another group of soldiers appeared. Their stones were as big as plums, and they also hit the back elephant group with crackling sounds. The pained elephant group had no choice but to turn their heads again and rush in the originally established direction. As a result, the soldiers in front began to smash them with stones as big as fists, causing Scipio to burst into tears, twitching his shoulders, and almost unable to control himself.

"Forgive me, only such cruelty can make the war elephant fearless of the enemy's stone-throwing crossbow on the battlefield, and move forward bravely." He explained so.

In another camp, Caesar was really hearing about the war elephant of King Juba, especially the remaining soldiers of the 22nd Legion vividly described the tragic situation of the array being trampled by the war elephants in front of him. He also seriously asked the soldiers to train the tactics of "fighting war elephants".

Caesar was prepared for this matter. He gathered all the soldiers in the legion, including Lusitanians, Gauls, Germans, Nubians, and Black Sea people, and then took out several elephants with his own hands. They were borrowed from the Colosseum and the circus. Then Caesar asked everyone to touch the elephant and feel its body and habits personally. He also discussed in great enthusiasm which part of it was the hardest, which part was the softest, and what was the fatal disadvantage.

"Use your spears to stab them to death, and all of them to death." Suddenly, Caesar issued this order expressionlessly.

Many people were timid at the giant creature holding their heads and roaring.

As a result, Caesar personally walked to the centurion of the 15th Legion Nubia, because he was holding a sharp spear with a very long root. He was the rider of General Seerha's spear, and Caesar tried his best to take the spear from the other party's hand, and then thrust the spear. He shouted and stabbed the spear under the ears of an elephant in a very correct thrust posture. The aura emitted by the elephant was like thunder, which scared many people to retreat, but it fell down in pain. When the huge corpse collapsed like a mountain, Caesar, holding the spear, stood there motionlessly. Very calm.

Then he turned around and said to the people present, "There is no metal weapon to kill the animals. Remember, they are just livestock, and we are smart people who can come up with a thousand ways to kill them without harming ourselves. Come and try it!"

Then, the Gaul and the Germans were the first to muster up the courage, many of them held spears and swords, and led the killing of other elephants. For a moment, huge howlings rang throughout the camp.

Three days later, Scipio and Rabinus fought. Thirty elephants carried towers and armor, and formed an extremely long wall of flesh and blood. The Numidian cavalry and Pompey's infantry stretched into extremely long horizontal lines, which seemed to stretch more than a dozen Romans, making Caesar's eyes full of enemy troops. Fighting swords and shields, fighting horns of the sub-campus songs, and the roar of the elephants were almost boiling.

But Caesar was abnormal and ordered the soldiers to hide in the camp, with high ditches and deep troughs, and arranged dense deer villages to block Scipio's attack. Because Caesar believed that although the soldiers were no longer so afraid of the enemy's elephants, his strength at hand was still insufficient. He would wait for Li Bida to bring the third wave of troops from Brindisi, among which the strong twelve, sixteen and thirty-one legions would not be too late to fight Scipio again.

"Then let's attack." Seeing Caesar hanging high with a battle-free sign, Scipio bravely sat on one of the elephant towers and commanded the entire army to press up on Caesar's camp in a dense manner. The cavalry of both sides shuttled and fought between the camps and clashed bravely. Scipio waved his spears on the elephant tower, threw javelins, and inspired his fighting spirit with the throwing stones and arrows shot from Caesar's camp. Several Mauritanian monkeys were squeaking and jumping around on the elephant tower to demonstrate for the master.

As a result, the Rhodes Island caster in the Caesar camp stood up behind the wooden fence, and a rock flew over. One of the monkeys was immediately beaten to the point of brain splashing. He screamed and fell into Scipio's arms. He pulled him twice with his furry claws. He stared at Scipio with his big yellow eyes for a second, and then he died.

"Archimedes, Archimedes! Oh my God, damn it, oh wow!" Sepio cried angrily, then he threw down his helmet, raised his spear with his bare head, and ordered the entire army to break Caesar's camp regardless of sacrifice, killing all the people and dogs, and avenge Archimedes who died tragically.

In secret, Rabinus sent the cavalry captain Ignagius, with six brigades of infantry and a thousand cavalry, to bypass the fierce battle and rush towards the city of Leptis.

This is Rabinus's strategy. He guessed that Caesar would concentrate all the essence on the front line, and the city garrison in the rear would be empty. As long as Leptis was seized, Caesar's retreat would fall and his morale would inevitably collapse.

Indeed, in the city of Leptis, only the six hundred cavalry led by Anthony were stationed, and many military slaves and volunteer citizens climbed up the battlements, dismantled the crossbows and prepared to transport them to Caesar's camp to strengthen their military strength. Anthony personally commanded it there. When the last noose crossbow was dismantled, several soldiers pointed to the huge smoke and dust raised under the city, saying that there was an army approaching us quickly.

"Don't tear down this gate. In addition, let the cavalry all withdraw to the city gate and ask the other party for their orders and prepare for battle at the same time." Anthony ordered.

When the soldiers of Ignagius came to the gate, they were covered with the cloak of Caesar's army and shouted that we were returning from the camp ahead, because we heard that the Pompei fleet on Kerki would come to raid Leptis. (To be continued) r655
