Chapter 11 Brothers (Part 2)

Reginus and Atrius were captured local magistrates of Pompei. They were now being beaten with a stick of raging soldiers. They screamed in pain. The soldiers forced the masters to take out the words and continued with a kettle and water bag, "Peep out quickly, heal!"

Atreus had never suffered such treatment. He cried and said that under such circumstances, he had no desire to pee. However, the soldiers beat the stick even harder and did not allow them to cry, because tears were saltier than urine. The two of them held back their tears and finally shed a lot.

"Please give me some drinks, otherwise we will die of thirst." Reginus understood that if this continued, he and Atrius would be killed by thirst before Li Bida's army collapsed. Although drinking urine was forced to do anything, he could only try it in such a desperate situation.

But the soldiers ignored them at all, and instead said with confidence that Rome was not a self-produced and sold society, and threatened that these two people could not survive at all. Before the defeat of this battle, the soldiers would execute these two people in advance and would not consider the ransom issue. "It is impossible to run away. There are flies around them. You may not be shot or trampled to death if you can't run out of three hundred steps."

"Please report to your chief General Libidaus, I, Atriusben, is also a believer of the Democratic Party, and is the deputy of the leader of the Chamber of Commerce, Mr. Galba. I was only here to collect taxes and food and fodder in Utica City. I am willing to serve in front of the battlefield!" Atrius, a tax collector, was the first to feel that his life should not be thrown in this ghost place. He still has millions of property to withdraw from the sequel and cannot be ruined by this damn war.

When he heard the call of the tax collector, Li Bida, who was supervising the battle in front, said, "What else can he do to work? If you say it, give him some urine mixed with water."

Soon after, Atrius said, walking eastward, there was a farmland full of ditches, where there was precious well water, because it was blocked by the mountains. It was difficult to find it, and probably Rabinus didn't know either - "But I know. That manor is my property." So Atrius drank high-end urine mixed with water. Reginus was thirsty and half-dilly in the fierce battle, and the soldiers were in the bow and yasu and kept him in the mule cart.

At this moment, Anthony's cavalry had already assaulted the front of the 12th Legion, "Where is your former cavalry commander!" Anthony asked roaringly, Karenus holding his helmet and carrying a sword forward and replied, "You have rescued from Agaba City? The Supreme Commander is on the 15th Legion, and is the position of the rear army."

"Then I have to ask you, where is the location of the rear army? I can only see the enemy's cavalry and the smoke and dust in the sky." Anthony said sarcastically.

Karenus became a little embarrassed. He said that his legions were torn into two pieces and fought each other, and could only advance towards Agaba City without a life. "Now don't move forward again, commander, take your front team troops. Gather with the rear team first. Then return to the past to ensure the safety of the Supreme Commander."

After they continued to defeat the enemy light cavalry that had been interspersed, they found Tagus' team. Everyone was very tired and thirsty and injured. However, the Numidians' offensive was weakening - they also reached their physical limits. Many people began to grab the goods vehicles abandoned by Li Bida's troops. "Where is the supreme commander?" Anthony sweated heavily and threw down his horse's hair helmet. He continued to ask Tagus.

"About one or two Romans, I will cover you with the forces of the two regiments to rush over." Without saying a word, the Spaniard changed his new wide-blade sword and stood beside Anthony.

"It's a hero!" Anthony said in admiration, then gestured to the back, "Time is precious, Wendy, you are also a hero. Come with me, that young man Gaul will let him stay behind and rest!"

Wendythis was a rookie who was promoted by Anthony in the previous Greek war. After hearing Anthony's orders, he threw down his helmet, curtains and ornaments without saying a word. He wore only a legion sweatshirt and held a shield and a sword on the horse's back. The cavalry behind him followed suit. Victintoli was so angry that he couldn't speak in the last queue that he took off his cloak and armor, rode his horse with one hand to the front line, standing with other generals and soldiers.

The sound of horse hooves sounded, and Anthony rushed over with more than 2,000 cavalrymen. Tagus and the infantry gritted their teeth, endured thirst and fatigue, and rushed forward in only wearing sweatshirts and weapons.

Seeing this, Rabinus on Gaofu hurriedly judged, "You can't let this outlaw join the rear army army where Li Bida is located, and give the order - to tell the group of Numidian cavalry with saddles not to disperse the formation, do not care about looting and retreating, and continue to bite the group of people." And he soon saw that Li Bida and the 15th Legion slowly retreated to the east as he hoped, instead of moving towards Agaba City. Rabinus was overjoyed, "It seems that Li Bida finally couldn't stand it. If he gave up, he would be wiped out by me in a wasteland without water. He asked the people who went to Agaba City to serve as suspicious soldiers to retreat, and all of them joined the subsequent general attack on the enemy's commander."

The colorful flags on camels continued to waving. The Numidian mid-suited cavalry with saddles were too tired. The javelins on their hands were exhausted. Anthony's cavalry had just thought that the light-suited and their speed increased greatly, and soon turned into a close-knit battle. Now the Numidian cavalry was not enough. The Gaul Germanic cavalry under Li Bida could easily swing their swords left and right, galloping like flying on the horse, cutting the enemy under the horse.

In this way, Anthony quickly defeated the enemy's interception, but when he rushed to the front of the 15th Legion, he found that the other party was retreating in another direction. The situation was still very chaotic. Many of his soldiers even picked up the javelin thrown by the enemy and shot at Anthony with his backhand. He was so angry that he cursed, saying that Li Bida was simply beaten up and ran around to death.

But Li Bida didn't bother to argue with him and still commanded the entire army to continue to retreat eastward stubbornly. At this moment, Rabinus also temporarily slowed down the attack due to the re-alignment of the attack formation.

In the setting sun, the Fifteenth Legion arrived at the destination mentioned by Atreus. They won the bet. There was indeed a manor there, and there were several ditches and wells for irrigation and drinking. All the officers and soldiers of the Legion cheered, but they did not forget the order. They first brought the injured people to the manor to settle. Then some soldiers went to draw water, and some soldiers set up a defense circle, putting all their efforts, preparing to give Rabinus a look.

"You are really the lover of the goddess of fate... Some people have said Sura, some have said Caesar, some have said this, and I am evaluating you now." Anthony, who had gotten off the horse, said to Li Bida, who was sitting on the ground drinking cattle. (To be continued)
