Chapter 10 Step by step (on)
"Here, some people are betrayal, and some are betrayal." - British scholar Harris commented on the politics of squares in ancient Rome
————————————————————
The shrill whistle sounded, from east to west, and the 10th Legion and the two Legion of Rabinus were intertwined and fought together. At this time, Caesar's mixed formation showed great power. When the stone caster and archers changed rows in front of the infantry, they kept tilting bullets at Rabinus's men, causing great trouble to the other side.
The "Laloconia" legion is an old corps. They calmly leaned against their camps as their backers, continued to maintain their front line, and fought with Caesar's most elite tenth legion. Both sides shouted and cursed each other because the two legions had resentment in history - the Laloconia legion was first Sula's basic team, and later became Pompey's elite chassis; and the Bacchus legion was originally Xiaoya's Seventh legion, which was originally recruited by Mario's subordinate Fracus, and went to Xiaoya's east to destroy Sula's Taiwan. Later, Fracus was killed by the rebel general and was annexed by Sula. Although he was brave and good at fighting, his treatment was always a mess. Grandma did not love his uncle and did not love him, and he was simply a stepmother's child. Later, Lukulas took over.
"Go to die, you veterans, guys who have never done anything positive except mutiny, are only worthy of turning into lonely ghosts in this sandy land!" This is the slogan of the Laloconian Legion.
Caesar's 10th legion retorted, "You great Pompey is about to turn into a lonely ghost. Those of us who were fired and dismissed by him will eventually take down his head."
When Pompei learned of the battle, he hurriedly galloped several Romans and climbed a hill next to Uz Tower. He focused on looking at the enemy and our army fighting like two huge centipedes. Then he saw the hill occupied by Caesar, where there were signs of fire and engineering operations. Then Pompei narrowed his eyes and looked down. On the right side of Caesar's army was the city of Hadrumum and the sea, and to the far right side, there was a mountainous highland surrounded by clusters, which was also the end point of Rabinus' right wing deployment, called Jemale Mountain.
"Go and send a command to Rabinus. His fourth right wing legion was trying to circumvent Caesar's flank. It was futile, or it was more important to focus on the Jemale Mountain." As soon as Pompei finished speaking, torches rose up in the area of Jemale Mountain, shining like daytime. Libida's 12th legion led a thousand Mathian cavalry to attack the mountain quickly. There were only about two hundred Numidian cavalry stationed there, and they were soon driven off the mountain by the Mathians. Then the five hundred Agrien infantry selected by Libida were still on the ground in the night and in the mountains. They snatched a hillside on the edge of Jemale Mountain, which was exactly the only way for the enemy to retreat and reinforce.
After the Agrien people erected the torches, they illuminated the mountain road, and then they quickly escaped from the catapult rope and smashed small stone bullets at the storm below. The screams of the Numidian cavalry filled the valleys. They had no armor at all. Most of them were killed and injured on the spot, and a small number ran wildly.
Then, the 12th Legion rushed into the enemy's fortification camp and massacred all the remaining soldiers who were still resisting. "Rabinus raised the flames and asked Rabinus to see all this in the Jemale Mountain." Li Bida was on the hillside and told the guards beside him.
Soon, the torches surged like a tide, and many Medegi people held a few in their hands, which made our army lineup look extremely strong on the Jemale Mountain. Pompei hurriedly ordered the second token to say, "Let all the troops of Rabinus rely on our camps to maintain a good formation, and do not be attracted by the enemies on Jemale Mountain."
But before Pompei's token officer arrived, Rabinus hurriedly took his entire right-wing troops, which was equivalent to the entire Eighth Legion, to reverse the front line and rushed towards Jemale Mountain. He attempted to restore this crucial commanding height and handed over the Sixth Legion to commander Rilias.
The worried Rabinus personally led the Gaul and Numidian cavalry, about three or four thousand, most of which were captured by him from Caesar's camp, and the latter was supported by King Juba. As a result, his cavalry front advanced very quickly, but the infantry was quickly thrown behind.
"Our cavalry, attack!" Caesar, who was under the eagle, raised his fingers, and the entourage blew the horn of the miraculous warriors. Two thousand Weaver cavalry shouted and rushed out of Caesar's command. They quickly interspered and teared everything between Rabinus's cavalry and infantry in two!
When the infantry of the Eighth Legion saw the enemy cavalry galloping everywhere in front of him, they were so scared that they quickly stood on the spot to defend. However, the Se Weaver people did not care about them, but quickly attacked the rear of the Rabinus cavalry, wielding swords to cut down the enemy cavalry one by one, which was still unknown.
Because there were mountains, fire and bunkers in front of him, and Li Bida's power, Rabinus delayed the most precious judgment time. When he realized that the back team had basically been killed by the Caesar cavalry, when the front team and the squadron were in chaos, everything was too late. The Numidian servants and cavalry beside him were the first to flee.
Li Bida also looked down at Rabinus. The rising sun had already risen. He proudly extended the gilded baton. The 12th Legion and Agrien troops rushed down. In an instant, Rabinus's cavalry brigade was plundered and attacked from all directions. In front was Li Bida's Wolf Army, and behind was Caesar's Tiger Division.
"Lipida will be a date later. The offering I will give to the goddess of vengeance is still there!" Rabinus shouted, fell on the saddle, and ran away from the tiny gap under the escort of his followers.
But the Gaul cavalry, who had accumulated for many years and who were equivalent to Caesar, could not escape, and many were ashamed to escape, because many of them had fought after Caesar and knew that they would definitely be humiliated after being captured, so they all dismounted and were cut down and trampled on all sides by swords and horse hooves, and were killed on the plain like bushes, and almost no one survived.
Then, Libida's army and the Sweaver cavalry merged into one, and then turned to sweep away the Eighth Army in front of him. The Eighth Army was defeated and collapsed. Libida swept across four Romaris, and Rabinus's troops were buried in corpses. Even the Sixth Army of Lilias fled back to the camp in a hurry, leaving behind the door and not fighting.
Pompei looked at the miserable scene at the foot of the mountain, and then looked at Li Bidaus, who was riding a white horse and commanding soldiers to sweep the battlefield from a distance, sighed, "So he has become such a monster? I am really unlucky. I was suppressed by Sura when I was young, and I had to compete with young people when I was old."
In this battle, Caesar's camp advanced two Romans, occupied almost all the ridges, and built a solid blockade line, killing about 5,000 Pompei's army, and only sixty of them were killed on his own side.
Now, if Caesar's projector wants, he can shoot the gun and stone bullets into the city of Uzta at any time, and it happens to be the main place where Scipio stockpiles food and fodder. Now Pompey and Scipio have to come out to face Caesar head-on! (To be continued...)
