Then, the 12th Legion, who followed Anthony, also held the flag and went up to the high ground. At this moment, Rabinus's troops got off the position they were originally stationed, advanced three Stadias, and began to prepare to siege Libida, because the manor at Atrios was in the shade of the hillside, Rabinus could not see it, nor knew it at all. He thought that as long as he waited patiently for a day, the enemy would collapse on his own due to thirst.!

It is already summer, and the previous rainy day has ended. The sun is unblocked, and the daytime is particularly long, so the setting sun lasts very long.

In the dark, Li Bida's two legions had already taken turns to alternate, and went to the farm behind to drink enough water. The soldiers standing in front were densely packed, blocking the enemy's sight well.

One moment, one and a half moments passed, and the proud Rabinus strolled his mount back and forth in front of the formation, waiting for the scene where Li Bida kneels and begs for mercy. Sure enough, the two enemy legions on the opposite side began to stir up, loud voices, and many soldiers in sweatshirts ran down from the mountain and shouted, "It's not bad, it's worthy of being Li Bida's soldiers, but they can last for so long before they start to collapse." Rabinus waved his hand and gave orders to all the cavalry and said, "That's the enemy's surrendered soldiers, pay attention to whether they have weapons."

The Numidian cavalry burst into laughter, feeling that more people would come down to surrender soon, and these Romans had been defeated by them in Utica before, and more than one legion died under their swords, and this time it seemed no exception.

So they did not set up a cordon, but the group of descending soldiers who were going down the mountain were getting faster and faster. Before Rabinus could find out something strange, Li Bida's "substitute" suddenly pulled out the daggers and daggers from his clothes. He rushed up, and used his own way to treat him. He stabbed and poked the belly of the unprepared Numidians, or chopped the horse's hooves. This trick was amazing because they didn't even have the saddles of most of them. In the tide of wail, Rabinus's front-line cavalry collapsed immediately, "Press up the cavalry behind them and killed all those who dared to resist the sneak attack!" Rabinus was almost hit. He pulled the reins and ran to the back team, furious.

But this was obviously not a simple dying counterattack, because the infantry team of Libida's army split the passage on the hillside, and the cavalry rushed over like cracked magma and fought with Rabinus's subordinates. Then, Libida's infantry team also rushed forward bravely and tried their best to attack. The corpses of the Numidian cavalry were piled up like mountains. The rest of the people no longer cared about Rabinus's scolding and instructions and fled in all directions. Rabinus hurriedly rushed to his "new command center" camel team, preparing to use camels to sing flags to save the troops.

"Dirty little man!" At this moment, Anthony ran over and threw a javelin at Rabinus. Rabinus slapped over and hit the token officer riding on the camel. He groaned and fell down.

When Rabinus saw the other party, he was like an angry Hercules, and he did not dare to fight, so he could only continue to circumvent the road. He could no longer remember how many times he had suffered such a heavy defeat under Li Bida. At this moment, the moon had risen, and the cry of the pursuers was slowly left behind. Rabinus rode his horse in the "ocean" of gravel and corpses, and ran away in disorganized direction with the defeated soldiers towards the departure point.

Yes, it was running away again, in the wind and moonlight, Rabinus's tears flowed down his cheeks to the stubble, cold.

Twenty-two discarded camels were captured by Li Bida. "This is quite interesting. Use camels to command the entire army." Li Bida took the group of animals without hesitation. No matter what, the raid by Rabinus still caused great trouble to him. The name "Rabinus" itself represents the meaning of "strong enemy" to Caesar or Li Bida. Not to mention anything else, Li Bida's two legions killed 600 people in this battle, but the horses lost nearly two thousand horses. According to Li Bida's later evaluation, the battle to attack Zeta City was not worth the loss.

Correspondingly, about 900 people were killed in the battle, but they did not lose too many horses.

In the next battle, the 12th and 15th Legions are probably going to become simple infantry legions.

Li Bidaxian led his troops to stay in the farm for one night, and then retreated to Agaba. After confirming that there was no enemy situation, he spent half a day returning to the Jemale Mountain camp.

As a result, the body of the little Hottenhus was also carried back, covered with sword wounds and javelin piercings. It turned out that the troops sent by Caesar to the Cave Mountain were also ambushed by Pompei and King Juba. The losses were very heavy. They were all carefully brought by Li Bida. The army that was good at mountain combat was good. Little Hottenhus took the initiative to get to the rear of the veterans, but was attacked wildly and died.

"In the end, it was as unlucky as his father." Li Bida sighed, and after looking at the remains of little Hottenhusse, he asked to prepare the shroud and the underworld for ferrying money, and then buried it on the spot with other dead people.

Both attacks against Hadrumom and Zeta encountered setbacks, and the fierce south wind blew up every summer. This wind had been encountered by Libida and others when they went to the expedition of Cyrene, which was enough to bury the entire tribe at one time. Although the momentum on the Libyan coast had greatly weakened, it also made it difficult for ships from Italy and Sicily to dodge. Pompei's naval fleet became active again. They no longer fought against the advantageous Caesar fleet, but instead broke it into pieces, specifically attacking transport ships, and engaged in wolf pack tactics. More than a dozen Caesar's legions now have become increasingly prominent, but Caesar still asked everyone to work hard to build a fortress every short section, and then the next one, trying to surround the Uzta along the ridge like stretching his arms, which made the soldiers involved in the alert and engineering feel even more tired.

Then the biggest problem arose. The narrow valley plain between Uzta and Caesar's camp had no groundwater at all, so they could only transport water from the rear towns. "It would be difficult for soldiers to hold the fortress in this way."

But the soldiers of several legions were still very enthusiastic and wanted to overcome difficulties for the dictator. They drank very little water every day, endured the harassment of Pompeii, and continued the fortification. However, the efforts of these brave men eventually fell into vain. When they finally arrived at the Uz Tower, Scipio and Rabinus were prepared for the walls on both sides of the acropolis and set up many shot weapons. Caesar's "arms" were blocked.

Then, the Caesars army worked tirelessly and began to cross the entire confrontation battlefield, building a long fortification directly towards the city of Uzta, extending a section of the city wall every day, but the result was the same: when they were halfway through the construction, Pompey's army dug a very deep trench around the outside of Uzta, blocking the fortification. The fortification was cut off by this deep trench and could no longer be stretched.
