"A great general wants to conquer others, he has to rely on his own virtues rather than his evil deeds." - Camillus, a famous military reformer in ancient Rome, general
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
In the shouts, the light infantry in Numidia ran like lightning, and they ran barefoot with the desert and mountains at the same speed as the cavalry, which made the cavalry not cover the worries of these people, and both sides could charge together.
The group rushed up like a tide and retreated after a while. Then, under the signal from Rabinus, a group of people rushed out of the valley again to replace the fierce battle. Rabinus was obviously prepared this time. He used the camel caravan to support his tactics. Not only did many camels come with water bags and javelins to serve as logistics, but also selected four camels, decorated with colored decorations and armor, and erected many colorful flags on the wooden tower he carried to issue complex coordinated combat instructions. It can be seen that Rabinus's command system has also been practiced for a long time. At this moment, he could easily command the Numidians who had always been light.
Moreover, Rabinus should have given a special order in advance, that is, the spear hunting javelins shot by the Numidians came specifically at the horses of Libida's troops, and did not focus on people. This tactic was very vicious and tricky. When the soldiers of the 15th Legion formed a defensive formation, they rushed up to throw the javelins. Then when the cavalry of the legion launched a counterattack, they retreated like the wind, and the subsequent horses killed the cavalry and horses that rushed up. After several rounds of war, the 15th Legion lost more than half of these, which Tobias spent a lot of effort and carefully raised from Cyranny.
The horses were gone. Many cavalry could only come down and traveled with the infantry. As a result, two days were carved, and the troops did not move around a single Roman.
Rabinus sent a signal on the mountain hills. The Numidian cavalry without saddles began to intersperse between the 15th and 12th legions, riding horses left and right. But like insects, they strictly abide by their tactical order in the chaos. They kept "pushing" Li Bida's legion in the east.
"They are trying to ask us to give up our route to Agaba City, disrupt our pace and mind, and then drive us to a desert land. In this way, Rabinus traps us and can easily annihilate our army without water." Seerha saw Rabinus's intention and said to Li Bida.
"How far is it from Agaba City?" Li Bida shouted, surrounded by Numidian cavalry.
"There are about nine Romans." Sabo, who was beside Li Bida, replied in his arms, holding the box, and his mount was shot to death.
"I'll order the entire army to throw down all the soldiers' luggage and mule carts, and I'll take the veterans' back." After Li Bida said that, he gave up his mount to Sabo, "You take a team of cavalry and rush to Agaba City to ask Anthony to send troops to rescue him."
Sabo nodded, and stepped onto the horse's back with a shout. Seerha gathered all the remaining cavalry. He held Sabo in the middle with a shield, rushing through the pile of supplies and goods all over the ground with smoke and dust. Half apart from Rome, the 12th Legion was surrounded by smoke and dust from the Numidian cavalry. Sabo gritted his teeth. He seized the opportunity and broke through the gap in the short time when the enemy retreated.
"What, the Chief Chief was surrounded by the enemy in the wild?" When Sabo, who was covered in dust, rode his horse outside Agaba, Vicintoli was particularly surprised when he learned the situation, and Anthony directly shouted that all the remaining cavalry were ready to get on the horse.
Vicintoli grabbed Anthony and spoke Greek, "What if the enemy also set up a team outside the city?"
But Anthony asked him to speak Latin because he really couldn't understand Greek, so Vicintoli repeated this sentence again.
"You can't abandon the Chief Executive and General, it's that simple." At this moment, Anthony put on a more surprised look, and then he turned over and prepared to lead everyone to attack.
"But what to do with Agaba City? If the Numidians rushed over and took the city away, we would lose our foothold." Vicintoli then shouted the slogan of dismounting to his Gaul cavalry.
Anthony became irritable and replied, "That's not a big deal. As long as we rescue Li Bida's two legions, even if Agaba loses them, they can still be taken back. Then the conversation between me and you has been delayed for a long time. Now you must let go and don't delay my battle, because when the 12th and 15th legions went to fight, they carried very little water.
"Yes, the Chief Executive can only hold on for about two moments. If you don't go for reinforcements, the entire team will be in danger." Sabo also got on the horse and said to everyone.
At this time, smoke and dust outside Agaba City was full of smoke and dust. Sure enough, many Numidian cavalry without saddles rushed over and showed off their power, claiming that Libidaus had been completely wiped out by them, and demanding that the city surrender as soon as possible.
"We should stick to this place and go to His Excellency Caesar's main business!"
As a result, before Vicintoli finished speaking, Anthony waved his whip and gave him a backhand. Then Anthony raised the logo and shouted that the enemy was talking nonsense. They were all defeated soldiers who had collapsed from Zeta City. Our army had plundered many wealth in that city. Now they were all following me, and the left-behind people could not get any spoils!
Then, all the cavalry shouted in unison, and rushed out of Agaba City as Anthony ran over, but the Numidian cavalry on the opposite side did not dare to confront each other head-on, so they could only escape to the valley, "It's crazy, I keep a strong base and don't defend, and I have to go out to fight in the field." Vicentoli complained loudly, but he could only ride on his horse and follow the team.
At this moment, the distance between the two legions was getting bigger and bigger. Under Rabinus' observation, Li Bida was among the rear army, so he specially ordered two thousand saddled Numidian cavalry to rush to the rear of the 12th Legion to fight hard with Tagus's troops, and to prevent him from getting closer to Li Bida's rear army. And on the other side, the brigade led by Karenus was moving further and further in the fierce battle.
"The soldiers have cut off the water!" In the phalanx of the 15th Legion, a group of veterans threw out the caltrops to isolate the Numidian cavalry after they approached (because they no longer had arrows and spears), and many people discovered this fact in dismay.
"Peat and drink." As a result, Li Bida, Serha and other officers took the lead, surrounded him and jumped into the open sack, "Hey, you are so dark and big enough!" Li Bida looked at Serha in amazement and said.
"Thank you for the praise of Chief Executive." Seerha immediately turned around and said, but he ended up peeing Li Bida.
"Don't waste it!" (To be continued)
