Chapter 8 Backyard Fire (Part 2)

"You come and report the order!" The centurion on duty on the battlement shouted, and then Anthony looked at the group of cavalry below with curiosity, slowly touched the crossbow, and signaled several gunners not to relax and continue to prepare for shooting.

"Three Brothers of Horas." Ignagius, who led the lead, called out. This command was drawn after he captured several prisoners from Caesar's camp, and there should be no problem.

The centurion nodded to Anthony, saying that the command had been met, but Anthony nodded, and shouted "Shoot" to the gunner.

A hunting spear roared out of the crossbow, pierced directly through Ignagius's horse head, tied up his breastplate, and the spearhead drilled out from behind, nailed the Rabinus's cavalry captain on the horse. The people and horses moved back several Roman rulers, then twisted together and fell down. His surprise cavalry watched the captain being shot to death on the spot, shouting in chaos, retreating like a tide, and then showed off their weapons one after another, together with the infantry, preparing to press forward and attack.

As a result, Anthony shouted, "Shoot me, shoot!" The Pompei army under the city took several steps back in horror after hearing his loud voice. Their commander's death was fatal to the morale strike. Not only was the enemy not deceived, but the first hunting spear killed Ignagius. Does this mean that the enemy had already alerted our surprise attack and set a trap to annihilate and capture us?

Fear and suspicion spread in an instant. Anthony continued to shout at the city gate and made various gestures. At this moment, more than a hundred cavalrymen who were originally responsible for the patrol had just arrived. After seeing the commander's order, they rushed out bravely. Ignagius's men and horses dared not fight. They mistakenly thought they had fallen into the trap. They ran towards Zeta City in panic, and countless people trampled on each other and died.

Finally, when identifying the body, Anthony finally discovered that the officer who was shot to death by the crossbow was Ignagius, one of the murderers who killed the civil guard Claudi. He then cut off Ignagius's head and "main it with salt. Send it back to Rome for Fulivia and Claudius to see."

In this way, Fulivia will definitely agree to my proposal, and with Li Bida's assistance, this matter will be done.

The centurion on duty ran over curiously and asked the general how he knew that the group of people was not ours, and that there was no error in their passwords.

"It's very simple. When the cavalry captain looked up and said the command just now, I found that his face was very plump, but many soldiers' rations were deducted from the Caesar Camp and our city, and the men could only eat seaweed. Look at your face, is it green like seaweed?" Anthony patted the centurion's towering cheekbones and said.

On the next market day, in order to avenge Archimedes, Scipio used elephant soldiers and projection equipment to suppress the attack every day within a short distance of three hundred steps in front of Caesar's camp. His cavalry continued to attack the towns around Ruspina and cut off Caesar's logistics supplies, making the situation of several legions under Caesar's subordinates increasingly difficult, but Caesar still kept asking the soldiers to endure and wait for the opportunity to fight against the decisive battle.

The time finally came - when King Juba led a large group of troops to meet with Pompei in Mauutica City, the news of the collapse of the sky and the earth being broken - General Ma Ge, who he had sent earlier, not only did not rescue the situation in Kilta City, but instead announced his rebellion after entering the city!

General Mago directly introduced the troops of Hitius and Pocus, the king of Getulia, to the city of Kilta. The other party seized the capital of Numidia without any effort. King Juba's wife Selene was captured at the same time. The money and food in the capital were robbed, and the entire kingdom had collapsed.

"Bastard, I believe your bastard words, but now even my palace is lost!" In the city of Utika, King Juba was furious and raised his scepter in front of him, preparing to beat Pompei's master and servant. As a result, both of the entourage guards drew their swords at the same time, and for a moment, the sword shadows in the city hall were brilliant.

When Pompeii was evading against King Juba's scepter, he said in pain and excitement, "Don't mess up the situation. Now our army has not yet collapsed, and there is still the capital to fight Caesar. Therefore, your Majesty, you should not leave Scipio at all. It is the most unsuccessful to hesitate and wander in the battle formation."

"How can I fight to the death? I have no savings. When the news of the fall of Kilta came, my guards, mercenaries, bureaucrats and ministers would abandon me mercenary." King Juba shouted, "I'm even afraid that when Caesar used my wife and children to threaten me, I would tie you up and send you out without hesitation."

"Then give it, if you are willing to be humiliated by Caesar's knees like a coward, and let your image of the king be minted in shame on coins like Juguda fifty years ago, so that Caesar can boast about his great achievements." Pompei said firmly.

The speechless King Juba slowly put down his scepter, his lips pouted high due to excitement and fear. Then Pompey suggested, "The rumors will definitely spread very quickly, so what we need to do now is to make the army run faster than the rumors! Turn around as soon as possible, rush to Scipio and Rabinus, and fight Caesar to the end."

"How about it, you should be the lion of Afiliga, not the antelope that escaped from afar. If you were still caring about women and children on the battlefield, the God of War would not be on your side, Your Majesty!" In the end, Pompey seemed to have regained his decisiveness and courage as a young man, with his eyes burning, and like a turbulent turbulent flow, shooting towards King Juba.

Finally, the king of Numidia stomped his scepter under his feet, expressing his approval of the plan that was defeated by the death.

In the setting sun, Pompei sat quietly in a corner of the noisy camp, surrounded by the sound of people and horses moving. Although the news of changing in the rear came, this had no effect on the two direct legions under Pompei. They were all veterans who had followed the great Pompei for many years. Blood and glory had been connected with this person and could no longer be separated. After receiving the order, all the civil guards and centurions asked the soldiers to carry their luggage without any hesitation and were ready to start dialing, "Go on a hurry for three days and three nights to fight Caesar!"

Peletaus slowly walked to the old superior, then sighed and sat next to him, "It's been almost thirty years, right?"

"Well, thirty years. It's still the same sunset. We came to Africa by the orders of Sula to pursue the Civilian Party. "Pompey smiled, "Because of the victory of Afiliga, I won the first triumphal ceremony in my life. At that time, I was less than twenty-five years old, and time was like a stream of light-by-by-way, do you still remember the centurion of Apius?"

"Remember, remember, that guy." Peletaus laughed when he heard this name. (To be continued, please search Piaotianwen, the novel is better, and it is updated faster!
